From Commodities to Real Estate

Steve Werner originally started out as a Commodities Trader then Hard Money Lender before landing with DAWGS.  In this episode, Steve and talk about how to find profitable fix & flip opportunities in a tight real estate market where much of the inventory needing repairs is being snapped up by owner occupants willing to do the work and live there.  There is still TONS of inventory available in many cities, especially where I’m currently flipping houses:  Atlanta, Philadelphia, & Chicago.  That huge inventory, just like any investment, does present some risk.  Steve and I discuss exactly how to deal with many of those risks to ensure the house comes out retail ready in the end.

Thousands of Off Market Deals

I’ve been buying off market deals since 2006 and have since closed well over 1,000 myself.  During that time, I’ve been on both sides of the deal:  the wholesaler (similar to the agent’s position) and the buyer (the one fixing & flipping).  Here’s the back story: I always dreamed of fixing & flipping houses-ever since I was a little kid on my dad’s job sites.  I used to be his helper-first he was the electrician on other investors’ flips & new builds, then he was the investor on the flips.  In a similar way, when I got into the real estate business, I first began by wholesaling deals to investors with the money to close, then eventually I became the buyer myself.

When I was wholesaling, I saw how many deals were sold to buyers a single time-then never again would we cross paths.  And then there were a few buyers who became repeat buyers, getting a phone call or text on deals before anyone else in the world knew it existed-before the email or any craigslist ads were posted.  Those repeat buyers had a specific strategy for developing that relationship with me.

So when I became the buyer myself, I looked back over my experiences as a wholesaler and made sure I behaved the way the repeat buyers behaved with me.  Why?  Well I was interested in created relationships with the agents and wholesalers who still bring me deals to this day.  So I created this extra special REI Diamonds Show episode to give you, the wholesaler, the agent, or the buyer interested in repeat business spanning years, the roadmap to create these VIP relationships to do repeat deals in your market.   Ready to check it out?

Buying 1,000 Houses Across the U.S.

“I learned much about home design from my dad who was an architect, which helped me develop a passion for the business. I began my career as a Senior Project Manager at Ahmanson Developments in the 1980s and provided financing to major developers, locally and nationally. I evaluated business practices, observed winners and losers, and achieved an insider’s perspective regarding real estate management. I served as Vice President of Cambridge Homes where I helped develop new products, managed marketing and sales, and increased profits and grew annual sales making Cambridge the largest builder in Chicago. My experience also includes serving as President of Westfield Homes, quickly turning the company’s operating losses into profits. I joined with Buz Hoffman in the late 1990s as Executive Vice President of Lakewood Homes. Benefiting from a career involving experience within all aspects of the industry, I participated in Lakewood’s growth as it became a top Chicago-area builder with annual closings beyond 1,700 units and profits higher than industry averages.”

Reed Goossens on Raising $9.5 Million Dollars for a Multi Family Deal

Reed Goosses Podcast guest
Reed Goosens podcast host & multifamily investing guru.

Reed Goossens Podcast on Raising $9.5 Million for a Multi Family Investing Deal with Projected $10 Million Profit.

Reed Goossens moved to the U.S. from Australia in 2012 to pursue a career in structural engineering.  He soon discovered that the U.S. has a much lower barrier to entry to begin investing in real estate than Austrailia.  After buying a triplex and a few duplexes, Reed decided it would be much quicker to scale up his rents and values by buying hundreds of units at a time.  Fast forward a few years and Reed now only buys large multi family assets exceeding a few hundred units per deal.  We dissect his most recent acquisition on today’s show-a 253 unit building in San Antonio Texas which he is going to turn around and exit in about 5 years for more than a $10M projected profit.

Reed Goossens & I Discussion Includes:

  • Structure for Raising $9.5 Million Dollars in One Deal
  • Projected Profit Over $10 Million
  • Benefits of Scaling Your Real Estate Investment
  • Graduating from Duplexes & Triplexes to 200+ Unit Deals

More than the Money

Omar Khan comes from an institutional investment banking background, having advised on $3.7 Billion of capital financing & M&A transactions.  He’s completed numerous multi-million dollar syndication deals and targets deal hold times of 3-5 years before exit.  While most people talk about “raising the money” to do deals, Omar focuses much attention on the more important aspects of the deal during this episode: the Team who’s married to the deal for the 3-5 years.  If you invest your money passively, you obviously better have a good deal to start with, but a top notch operating partner/team is ESSENTIAL to your money’s survival (let alone growth!!).
