My Best (and Worst) Real Estate Investment Decisions

[@BreakIntoCRE]

What are some of your best and worst real estate investment decisions, and what did you learn?

[@andrewwilliams7522]

Your content is always helpful. I hope you’re cashing out!

I love your videos! So informative and structured. Your videos are the best I have seen on youtube.

Hi Justin, can you please explain how you source your deals? Do you reach out to a broker who might be able to connect you to a GP, or are these connections you've made during your time in the industry. As a CRE analyst, I appreciate your videos and thank you for the content you produce. Always 10/10!

Thanks for the insight. Keep up the videos Justin

Thanks for watching!

This guy is one of the few people on KZbin who is actually a legit professional real estate investor not just some cowboy hoping to be the next Grant Cardone 🤝

Justin, are you based out of Boston?

[@LouBloom21655]

These deals you invested in were syndication?

[@BreakIntoCRE]

Yes - some of which I worked on actively, others I invested in passively.

Hey Justin! Love your content, probably the most consistently informative / high quality information out there! I'm from Maine, and I've been finding a compression in returns recently after my first couple purchases - how have you balanced staying true to your investment criteria while adapting to the market? I don't want to get over my skis, or be one of those sitting on the sidelines "waiting for the next downturn"

[@BreakIntoCRE]

Thanks for the kind words, Roy! I agree - the market is the hottest I've ever seen in my career right now. With that, I'm looking for deals that are either completely off-market (meaning no bidding process whatsoever), or projects with limited downside (i.e. affordable housing with guaranteed rents or clear indication of rent adjustments 3-5 years out). Tough to find and even on deals that work, I've also seen return compression, but this is how I'm currently trying to manage the influx of capital flooding into CRE (primarily industrial and multifamily). Great question and good luck!

Great video Justin! On top of career videos, it would be good to see more content about your experience as a RE entrepreneur as well. Thanks!

[@BreakIntoCRE]

Great feedback - thanks, Amar!

[@keithcrogan]

I agree 100% Justin!

[@BreakIntoCRE]

Thanks for watching, Keith!

@@BreakIntoCRE of course. Us LP’s have to stick together

Justin is a good guy but this was a completely worthless video since no specifics of his best and worst real estate deals was shared. What was Justin insight, "I go for singles rather than home runs" or "if a deal is too good to be true then it is." How is this general advice helpful? If you watch Tarl Yarber of BiggerPockets, he gets out a whiteboard and shares the numbers of the deal. I am sure you have some good information to share but if you try to be super confidential then what is the point of having a KZbin channel? Don't be surprised on the low number of views on your video. Big thumbs down.
