[@julianibanez7628]

Thank you for the great explanation. How do sale/leasebacks get impacted by the downturn in commercial real estate? Will many companies will need to sell at lower prices and then lease back at a stable price for a set term?

[@Greg_Chase]

We own all our CRE residential free and clear. What changed me was this realization: "I own stocks. When I first started with stocks I used margin to boost my returns. I stopped using margin. WOULD I BUY STOCKS AT 50% MARGIN? 60% MARGIN? 70% MARGIN?" The answer was 'no' and that's when I stopped using leverage to buy property. No one forced all these syndicators to buy on 60% or greater leverage. Just because lenders are willing - does NOT make it a good idea. Debt service coverage ratio is making it hard to refi/rollover the 10 year interest-only loans, due to the much higher interest rates, with "let's raise new money' as a way to avoid giving the property back to the bank when you can't refi. .

Thank You how do you know when the price is done going down and that it has gone down say from your example from 50 to 40 million how do you know this and how do you know it will not go down more say to 25 ?

[@ScottMancini]

The value of the property is reduced when the prevailing interest rates rise. In this case, the Fed has increased rates very quickly, which results in a corresponding drop in real estate valuations. As cap rates have risen on literally every investment, the corresponding asset values decrease. For example if I have a property that cash flows 60K annually, and the cash flows are solid (relatively low-risk), a few years ago, it might sell at a cap rate of 7.5%, or $800,000 ($60,000/.075). Of course at that time, short-term T-bills might have been paying only 1.5%. Now, short-term T-bills are paying over 5%. In order for me to sell an investor my property now, the risk profile is significantly greater because the riskless rate of the T-bills has increased more than three-fold. A smart buyer/investor is going to demand a higher return, say 10%, in order to buy my property. That means my $800,000 property has dropped in value to $600,000 ($60,000/.10).

[@scottkidd1969]

Cash flow or capital gains. Great explanation of the difference. It is something that was forgotten in the past couple years. The overall cost of capital, debt and equity has risen sharply. With prices decreasing equity is being lost and there is not much choice left. We will see how much this carries over into other segments of the economy.

Over 4K a month of cash flow. I have only 40 rentals. It’s not “passive” as I self manage. But look, people made money in 1981 when interest rates were 15%. Trust me.

Wow! Thank you. I’ve been trying to explain this to people. I’m still having a hard time understanding why people or investors are still buying bad debt. They’re buying property without cash flow. Real estate has become a 401k instead of a cash flow investment. They are literally buying the property to pay the bank out of pocket for the investment. Why? There’s on price Discovery.

Please explain why equity has a cost. Are you talking about opportunity cost? Or is this loans from investors?

[@MyWealthBuildersRealty]

I believe this is what he would owe investors who provided the equity or down payment, for this property. If you are investing for cash flow then you want some sort of return even while you own the property. If you’re making the play for capital gains, you might not see anything until you actually sell the property for profit.

[@PP-oz2oj]

I don’t think you will get distressed assets this time because (1) there is tremendous amount of private and public liquidity and fed and government spending is making sure that it stays that way (2) inflation: it will drive the cost of building a similar new property to $70 mil, at that point it all about capital gain. Cash flow matters but as long as you have enough liquidity to survive you are fine.

[@Palantir_Daily]

Ken you’re a genius and a billionaire, but if I look on a 100 year time table real estate does indeed always go up. What’s never been the same before is the government’s willingness to print money - with real estate being a hard asset wouldn’t it be more of a vehicle to store wealth at this point? Could it be possible that gone are the days of typical cash flow and appreciate is the new game - is that a possibility?

[@MyWealthBuildersRealty]

Yes, over the long-term real estate trends upward. And if you’re in it for the long run, there’s less risk that you would actually take a loss. That being said, I don’t believe that cash flow is out of the picture entirely. That will really be determined by the supply and demand of housing. If we are already short in supply, at some point in the next few years, we will see rents start to go back up. 😬

[@Palantir_Daily]

@@MyWealthBuildersRealty Ultimately, as long as the asset can service the debt, is it a bad investment? Over the long run, cap rates are likely to compress, especially when value is measured in the form of a fiat currency.

@@abel4776 Well using the last 150 years as reference when it comes to housing only 2008-12 was the worst. Even worse than the Great Depression. Again just looking at housing. And If ‘08 was a mid correction only, well we are all screwed lol. But over a long course of time, 10years, real estate has more than doubled every 10 years. Of course some areas less, most areas more. Real Estate, particularly rental real estate. Is the best asset class. By far. 800K purchase on a 15 unit apt building. 25% =600K at 6.5%. 25y. P&I is $4200 Gross rent is 10,500 100% leased. Yes there’s maintenance. So is your home. Yes there’s vacancies. Yes to all the stuff everyone’s going to come up of all the reasons NOT to do it. Every problem anyone list, it applies to your own home, with one exception, your wife and kids probably aren’t paying you rent lol. And…then..this wonderful, magical thing at tax time called depreciation. Omg. I right off 29K every year. Like a cash expense. Without having a cash expense. It’s a beautiful thing.

[@gavnonadoroge3092]

the reason you getting that deal in the first place is because the tenants defaulted on payments, so when you buy that deal, you have the same problem as the previous owner, that is no paying tenants for you

[@mathzniper]

Seems the bank is the long term winner here.

[@minimalmini]

It would be helpful if you broke down a smaller deal. I get the math is easier with round numbers. And sure, I have a calculator and can do the math myself. But these numbers feel depressing. Great to understand the macroeconomic environment. But not relatable.

60% of folks have a very good rate mortgage. We’re not going to have a crash. In fact home production has fell a lot since 2008. Way less homes then the market demands. Keeping prices up. Unless there is a economy issue (job marke crash) we not gonna have a real estate crash.

[@mq995]

Didn't he previously say housing would never crash?!!!

none of this matters if your paying cash

If you're investing in real estate you must have a lot of faith in our government.

I don't understand the equity part. Why does $20M of equity cost $2M? Wouldn't it just cost $20M?

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Investors expect a return for locking up their money for a span of time and incuring transaction costs and taking the risk.

Ya think maybe his property values dropped? Robert Kiyosaki warned he might be leaving the bank holding the bag on his debt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Steelriter]

Bro if your a billionaire I am too

[@UtahRealEstateMarket]

But the bank is not going to loan you $30 million on a $40 million property. They’re gonna loan you 24 or 25 million or maybe even 20 million. So you’re gonna have to come up with more equity or more cash down. Also, who said that 40 million is the bottom? That property could go to 30 million or less.

I want a balanced portfolio with growth investments, safe investments, and also focus on dividends to gain up to $20K monthly, my concern is picking the right stocks that can survive a recession. How do i go about this ?

[@PatrickLloyd-]

In this current unstable markets, It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. Depending on the worth of your portfolio, you should consider financial advisory.

[@PhilipDunk]

Agreed, my portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% from early last year to date. I and my advisr are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take another year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.

[@Nernst96]

massive gains! mind sharing details of your adviser pleas? i've started gaining more cash flow with my employment and looking at putting money into stocks and alternative assets that can help fuel my money goal

[@PhilipDunk]

She goes by Amber Dawn Brummit I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

[@Nernst96]

Thank you for sharing, I must say, Amber appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call

Trump and many other billionaires write books and do things to teach others how to help others. Self actualization isn't a sign that he's broke but that he's on top.

[@AntonStetner]

LOL. Most people on the internet with all the views have no assets. Ken has an excellent track record of building wealth. But it's slow and that's not what the internet wants. 2nd attention is the new oil. More attention = more money and more deal flow, aka in thus example the rich getting richer
