Going into Multifamily When You’re New to Real Estate with Jamie Gruber | BiggerPockets Podcast 436

[@yakster87]

I’ve been listening to BiggerPockets for years. 😄 Best education I’ve ever received! AND FOR FREE! 💯☝️😁🔥

[@BrisSuave]

I love that you just had a webinar about this last night and now we have a follow up podcast 🙏🏽

[@na-cp9kp]

Barely anybody really knows what they're doing. Be ok with not knowing everything! You can learn, solve problems, optimize, and grow in anything! It's all about conscious persistence.

[@liftinvestmentslimitedpng5587]

I’m all the way on the other side of the world and have been enjoying Bigger Pockets for years. Thank you

[@successwithstacee9290]

Im looking forward to this one. Be intentional, get educated and take action is a phrase I'm using from now on. The timing on this is perfect. I'm ready to scale up to larger multifamily. Thanks for this podcasts!!

[@successwithstacee9290]

I love the way you add value and realize you are dealing with people. I listened to another podcast where the investor bought an apartment building and immediately doubled rent to market rents and rationalize it by saying the tenants had a good deal for years and the property manager dealt with it so he didn't have to. I thought about how the tenants had to figure out where to go with only 30 day notice. I would never work with someone with that value and mindset but would with someone like Jamie just because of that way of thinking and valuing people. Thanks for the blueprint of outlining goals. LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode.

[@QuantumCapital]

Amen to that. It’s a people business.

Witching rods. And in rural Oklahoma, they’re important. Water is life. I’ll be on your podcast some day. But I have a lot of land overseas. But starting to build my rental portfolio in the US now. In 2 or 3 years when I’ve had enough success in US realty, I’ll be on your show. Until then, keep up the good work, and Shalom lekha.

Super! I live in SW Michigan. I just bought my first multi family. My intentions and vision are to continue. I have a plan and am excitedly urgently moving forward. I have chosen to be mentored and do not listen to the nay sayers. I am definitely marching to a beat from a different drummer. I surround myself and learn from those who are successful. I will be checking out his FB page.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Multifamily is pretty much impossible in my area (prices are up to about $225k per door) but I'm still looking forward to listening to this one!

[@tboyrock2]

my area 350+

[@pedrobaptist1363]

My area is 550k+ Boston

[@mattbrady9728]

Bay Area California, insane prices $700k is a deal if you can find it. I'm looking out Of state Detroit, Spokane, Utah etc. If anyone has some up and coming markets they'd recommend please let me know. Thank you 🙏

[@jessicafisher1188]

Looking forward to going to my first networking event next month

[@timmarr6724]

I've never been this early to anything!!!

[@kimbrush223]

Hello neighbor, excited to hear this one. We are next to A2 also!

[@BeauKnowsMultifamily]

Great interview guys, lots of good advise for newer investors and as a multifamily broker in Florida, I concur that building relationships with every broker in the market is the most productive thing an investor can do to build their portfolio fast. The larger apartment world is completely different then the under 10 unit world. Most savvy sellers don’t do deals directly with some random buyer off the street they don’t know when they can hire brokers to maximize their exit price by exposing the deal to more investors that are most qualified and have the greatest probability to close.

[@QuantumCapital]

Brokers are essential! We’ve developed relationships with some great brokers as a result of building this brand! We also talked on Clubhouse last night about the big vs small and those different dynamics you mentioned. Spot on!!

[@Chasenoir]

This is essential, I’ve been looking to network and find different groups. They are very tight knit, I’m Going to an event later this month. I’m in Florida as well and would love to connect! This is all new to me so I’m just trying to build with individuals and grow with them.

[@justinegrayson2352]

If you have a multifamily to sell where should you start? Local agent who wants 5% commission?

[@corcoranmagriproperties]

Ready for this new one! 😎

[@nekosila]

I have a question about the brrrr method. Hopefully someone here can help as I believe I already messed it up. So I bought a primary house for crazy undervalued price. Got a heloc. Years went by and I had it reappraised almost 3x the original appraisal. I did the heloc which paid the original off but left me with enough to buy a rental. Now here's the issue, where I probably SHOULD have just used enough for a down payment I just used up pretty much all the heloc to pay for the multifamily out right in hopes of expediating the process. Now we are doing a flip but I'm realizing that the arv may only break even with how much I got with my primary. Is there even a point in trying the brrrr method with this rental as I won't be getting any more $ back to put down towards another rental? I'm really kicking myself for not putting a down payment and saving more of the heloc. But I also really want to start looking for more properties. Kinda feel stuck right now. Thanks anyone who reads this

[@QuantumCapital]

I’d love to help. Just need to be sure I understand. - mortgage on your primary gets paid off by a HELOC on that same primary - you have HELOC proceeds left over after paying off the primary and use that to buy a Multifamily property outright - HELOC funds are drained and you now have a flip (assuming single family) under contract but no funds to close? Or you also bought a flip with the HELOC funds?

[@okochat]

Great Energy Jamie. Great podcast

[@QuantumCapital]

Appreciate that!!

The minute he said “whatever the case may be”, where he was from was confirmed

Dowsing. Dowsing rods. The sticks that you use to find water.

[@QuantumCapital]

Had no idea 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

[@Dimrain13]

Just wanted to comment... You do not "have to lose the first deal" I made a 95% return on my first deal and my second and third look to be about the same. Its all about how well you can adapt to change and plan for additional costs.

[@QuantumCapital]

Well said! Adapting is huge and probably a better way to make the point I was trying to!! 🤣🤣.

[@Dimrain13]

@@QuantumCapital I'm also in Michigan :). Do you look in the mitten at all for real estate or prefer out of state? Seems that most places that I find out this way doesn't scale to the same levels that you are seeing. My 3 properties are all single family so its ehh in terms of cashflow. Like yes they cashflow better than other single family... but not even close to multi.

[@QuantumCapital]

@@Dimrain13 we look in Michigan and Ohio. Join our Facebook group ... tons of Michigan folks and there are plenty of folks that have scaled their operation in Michigan. Search the group for the “titans of Michigan” and you’ll see a live feed with 4 Michiganders that have scaled. Hope that helps!

[@benhazel9431]

Great show:) Thank you 🙏

[@QuantumCapital]

Thank you!!

[@chadgriffith5819]

Great guest!

[@JOMOPressureWash]

Hey if you are a realtor sir, why do you need a buyers agent to represent you?! Seems like you could get closer to the deal by representing yourself!

[@DaddyDebt]

Love the tip of intention!

[@QuantumCapital]

It’s so essential!!! 🙌🙌🙌

David, I used to be a LEO as well and I can totally relate to strangers always thinking I'm in a bad mood or scary looking. On a few occasions people have literally said to me "you look like a cop" haha!
