  • How To Profit With Single-Family And Duplexes
    Nov 21 2024

Join us as host Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor interviews a seasoned real estate expert who shares the secrets to profiting from these smaller properties that many investors ignore.

    Peter Neill discusses his company, GSP Real Estate Investments, and its two main funds: the income fund and the growth fund. The income fund offers fixed returns for 9 months to 5 years, while the growth fund provides preferred returns with profit sharing. Both funds focus on workforce-affordable single-family homes and duplexes, typically buying distressed properties in Baltimore and Philadelphia.

    Investment Strategy and Market Focus (00:07:49)

    Peter explains their investment strategy: buying severely distressed properties at low prices, renovating them, and holding them for the long term. He emphasizes the benefits of workforce affordable housing, including high demand and supply constraints. Peter also discusses their buy-and-hold approach and the potential for institutional exits in the future.

    Financing Strategies and Portfolio Management (00:11:40)

Peter emphasizes the value of having in-house construction and property management capabilities.

    Advantages of Single-Family Investments (00:17:16)

    Peter Neill explains why they favor single-family homes and duplexes over larger multifamily properties. He cites their ability to execute effectively in this space, the supply-demand dynamics, and the lack of institutional competition in workforce affordable housing as key advantages.

    Branding and Company Values (00:54:54)

    Peter discusses the significance of their company name, GSP (German Short Hair Pointer), and how it reflects their values and approach to business. He explains how the characteristics of the dog breed embody their brand, including loyalty, focus, and high energy.

  • How To Thrive In The Multifamily Industry In 2025
    Nov 7 2024

    Join Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor's interview with expert investor David Lindahl as he shares strategies for succeeding in the evolving multifamily housing market. Lindahl will cover key trends, challenges, and opportunities as 2025 approaches. Whether you're experienced or just starting, you'll gain actionable insights to stay competitive and thrive.

    Motivated Sellers and Opportunities

    Lindahl explains how decreasing interest rates can lead to motivated sellers and buying opportunities. Buying during the market's down cycle may position investors for appreciation as conditions improve.

    Currency Debasement & Hedging
    Dave discusses real estate, gold, silver, and crypto as hedges against currency devaluation. Banks are reluctant to foreclose, but this could change with better resale prices.

    Strategies for Underperforming Properties
    When facing potential foreclosure, Dave advises exploring short sales, negotiating with lenders, and prioritizing a strong track record over foreclosure.

    Market Cycles & Strategies
    Understanding and adjusting to market cycles is crucial. Dave's book, 'Emerging Real Estate Markets,' dives into strategies for each cycle phase.

    2025 Strategies & Networking
    Dave emphasizes building networks, broker relationships, and starting locally before investing in emerging markets. Consistently making offers will be key in 2025.

    Holy Trinity Criteria
    For deals, aim for an 8% cap rate, 12% cash-on-cash return, and 1.6+ debt coverage ratio to mitigate risk.

    Raising Capital
    Shift from “asking for money” to offering diversification opportunities. Building relationships and networks is critical.

    AI's Role in Real Estate
    AI boosts efficiency in underwriting and deal sourcing. Lindahl mentions companies like Janover for AI-powered commercial loan sourcing.

    Upcoming Events & Resources
    Dave’s Ultimate Partnering event in Nashville and books like 'Multifamily Millions' offer additional insights.

  • How To Use Technology To Develop Investor Relationships
    Oct 24 2024

    Please join Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor as she interviews Yohannes Cramlet of Go Raise AI Syndication CRM. Their system can set you up to attract, grow, engage, and close more Investors faster and more efficiently than you can do on your own. They offer DIY or full concierge options that can help you capture, follow up with investor leads, and create content in no time. Unlike most investor management platforms that offer customer relationship managers (CRMs) as an afterthought, this is a true CRM system built specifically for real estate syndicators. Listen and learn how you can put it to work for you.


    Overview of Go Raise AI (00:01:17)

    Johannes Cramlet introduces himself and provides an overview of Go Raise AI. He explains that it is a CRM and marketing platform designed specifically for capital raisers and investor relations professionals in the real estate syndication and fund management space. The platform includes tools for managing contacts, automating follow-ups, creating email campaigns, hosting webinars, and building credibility with potential investors. Cramlet shares that through Go Raise AI, they have helped raise just under $100 million in capital over the past 48 months.

    Importance of Developing Relationships (00:07:01)

    Taylor and Cramlet discuss the importance of developing relationships with potential investors, as required by SEC regulations for certain types of securities offerings. They emphasize the need to document these relationships, have suitability conversations, and understand the investors' goals and interests before making offers. Cramlet highlights how Go Raise AI's CRM and automation features can assist with this process while saving time and effort.

    Differentiating Go Raise AI from Other Platforms (00:44:10)

    Taylor and Cramlet clarify the differences between Go Raise AI and other platforms like investor management software and crowdfunding platforms. Go Raise AI is focused on building relationships and marketing before deals are available, while investor management software is used to manage investors and deals once they are in place. Crowdfunding platforms, on the other hand, market deals to their own databases of investors for a fee, but may not be suitable for those without a substantial track record.

    Using AI and Automation (00:30:08)

    Cramlet discusses how Go Raise AI leverages AI and automation to streamline various tasks, such as generating email subject lines, creating content, and automating follow-ups. He emphasizes the importance of using technology to save time on administrative tasks, allowing capital raisers to focus on building personal connections and having meaningful conversations with potential investors.

    Audience Questions and Resources (00:42:11)

    Towards the end of the video, Taylor and Cramlet address questions from the audience, including inquiries about the types of investors using Go Raise AI, integrating broker relationships, and leveraging AI for content creation. They also provide information on how to access Taylor's books on raising capital legally and schedule consultations with their respective teams.
