E328: Market Update: The Long Term Viewpoint - Steven Pesavento Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

What do we do in times of economic uncertainty? Steven is asked this question many times, especially in today’s economic downturn. In this episode, Steven takes a look at the current market situation and shares his knowledge and expertise on how you can still make the best of real estate investing.

Key Takeaways

By holding on and sitting on cash in your bank account, you're losing money every single day.
When it comes to the current market, what is happening is that as interest rates go up, the cost of capital goes up, returns go down, and buyers and sellers continue to see a gap that is widening.
If we move to a longer investment window, and we have longer term debt, we have the ability to wait out any type of storm that might be happening in the market.
With locked in long term debt, with strong business plans with great operations, we can put ourselves in a position to greatly reduce risk and hedge ourselves against inflation, like no other asset class can do.

E327: A Balancing Act of Growth vs Security - Steven Pesavento Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

Your investment goals, desires, and values determine the amount of risk that you are willing to take in your investment future. In this episode, Steven discusses the differences between growth and security to help you determine what investments you should be looking at based on your current investment cycle.

Key Takeaways

Growth and Security are on opposite sides of the investment spectrum. Growth can provide higher profit but at greater risk, whereas Security is less risk however usually lesser returns on profit.
Typically, the more money that somebody has, the more that they're focused on preservation, and they move down the risk scale.
If you're later in the investment cycle, you have to know what your personal preferences and values are, and then make some selections into assets that are going to deliver you the kind of returns you're looking for.
If you're much earlier in the investment cycle, and you have a much longer investment window, then you may want to be investing a much larger percentage of your portfolio in those higher risk assets.
It is important to diversify between the different styles or strategies that you have.

E325 - Choosing The Right Investment Team: Know, Like, and Trust - Steven Pesavento Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

With any business, part of taking it to the next level is building the right team that will support the success and growth of the company. When you start in real estate, it is simply just buying a business and running it more effectively than others. So choosing the right team that you know, like and trust is just as important. Steven shares his experiences and knowledge that will help you choose the right team as you begin your investment adventure.

Key Takeaways

The benefit of investing with a large team is the responsibilities are distributed across multiple different people who have expertise and disciplines in those different areas.
When passive investing, who you invest with is broken down to who you know, like, and trust.
Ensure the ones you are working with have the experience and are changing their investment tactics based on different market cycles.
Be the dumbest person in every room because that means that you are hiring and bringing on great people who you believe in and trust in their ability.
When you're partnering with someone for 3-5-10 years, it's important that there's an alignment there so a Managing Principal, or an Investor Relations Manager, is there to make sure that there's an alignment, and that you can get that information that you need.

E324 - Preferred Equity: Better Risk-Adjusted-Returns Are Perfect For Uncertain Times - Steven Pesavento Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Preferred Equity is a unique strategy that is typically only available to those in the institutional world or in opportunities where you're investing with a much lower return percentage. In this episode, Steven will talk about the different types of preferred equity, what that looks like, what the benefit is, when it makes sense to invest in preferred equity and why and when it makes sense to focus on common equity.

Key Takeaways

Preferred equity is a unique hybrid investment strategy that combines debt and equity and provides downside protection while providing a preferred return to investors.
It's the first time in over a decade that it's made sense to focus on the preservation of capital over exclusively focused on appreciation.
It's important to look for opportunities that have a good risk-adjusted return to get that same place from a cash flow perspective.
We're in a current market where the economy overall is performing quite well. The real problem that we're dealing with today is that we've put a lot of money into it and we're seeing inflation.

E323 - Reducing Risk: Using Time Horizons to Reach Your Investing Goals - Steven Pesavento Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

Time horizon plus strategy, during times of economic certainty, are key pieces that you need to look at in order to find investment success. Join Steven as he takes a look at those key components and why it's so absolutely important to consider them as part of your investment strategy so that you can reduce risk and still achieve your financial goals.

Key Takeaways

During times of economic growth, we can be focused on opportunities that have a shorter time horizon, and therefore have a shorter debt schedule.
You can flip multifamily properties or flip houses in a growing or declining market; you just have to be able to anticipate how much that decline is going to be or you have to anticipate when that growth is going to taper off.
A long-term strategy has a lower risk profile, but also a lower return profile, and works very well in both markets, but is extremely beneficial in markets of decline.
Reduce risk by being lower in the capital stack.
Invest in very high-quality assets that renters are very interested in renting, even during times of economic change.

E322: Passive or Active Investing, Which Approach is Right for You? - Steven Pesavento Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

Determining what role you want to play in your investments is a key point in deciding what approach is right for you when it comes to real estate investing. It's important for you to, first off, understand who you are and what you're really looking for which will lead you to your strategy and your end goal. Listen as Steve explains these two different approaches so that you can determine which one will help you to live the lifestyle you want.

Key Takeaways

Real estate attracts a lot of achievers, who believe in living a better life, and are interested in committing to finding a way to get there. That's what we all have in common.
The benefit of passive investing is that you get an expert who lives and breathes real estate, finance, and the economy.
The benefit of active investing is that you are hands-on, learning all the details of investing and managing your assets.
You might put money into passive investments as a hedge against the investments that you're actively managing.
If you are going the active route, it is key to find the right people to learn from, those that have been through it and know how to manage economic fluctuations.
If you are going the passive route, you are investing alongside the investment managers who are able to make those hard decisions during times of economic change and high emotion that some people haven't had the experience to do so on their own.
