Larry Lieberman is the president and founder of the Barrington Group. For more than 40 years, The Barrington Group's company philosophy has been to provide excellent quality maintenance service, good clean, well-manicured grounds, well-prepared apartments, friendly courteous professional staff members, and a genuine real concern for the health, safety, and well-being of their residents.   The Barrington Group believes in long-term ownership.  They do not “build and sell” or “flip” their properties; in fact, they still own and manage most of their original portfolio.  An excerpt from their website, which I think will provide some additional context to the type of company Barrington is - “We know our residents, they know us…. we strive to have the same staff at a property year after year. Our residents are not subject to “new management” with changing rules and fewer quality standards. Because we are long-term owners, we must pay attention to keeping our properties in excellent physical condition…. to prevent them from aging… we spend considerable resources on keeping our properties beautiful.    Quotes:  “There were companies out buying everything in sight, but we couldn’t compete because we wanted cash flow absent of the tax benefits. We weren’t players. We weren’t out building and developing and buying because we couldn’t compete with the tax credit mentality.”  “The basic components that we adhered to, to turn properties around in the ’60s, was I believe in giving a good, well maintained and clean apartment for a reasonable price. And for which, I expect my rent, and I expect it on time. We adhere to that, and we’ll do our part first so that you’ll do your part second.”  Highlights:  5:22- Larry tells us about his background and how he found his way into real estate  13:39- Larry shares how prior to 1987 he kept from falling into the trap of bad deals due to inflation  18:53- Larry tells us about changes in his property management style that helped him manage his business more efficiently in the 60s after acquiring 2000 assets  21:23- Larry shares the struggles he has faced in his career and how he has overcome them  27:04- Larry tells us how he makes determinations in large rehab projects as to not over renovate   30:40- Larry talks about the best-valued lifestyle commodities in communities  32:27- Larry tells us about shifts and changes he’s made due to COVID  Guest Website:  http://www.bgiapartments.com/   Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

We can’t force them into a box and if we do, it will backfire.”  “Success favors the bold. There is a lot of value in just taking that next step. There is a great book called The Hard Thing About Hard Things and the core value there is if it were easy to get from A to B, that’s a commoditized thing and it’s going to pay very poorly. In this business, there is very rarely a clear path from A to B, but after a while, you develop 4 or 5 different bread crumbs that you’re able to spot, and you’re able to make a path from A to B that others can’t see.”  Highlights:  4:04- Joe tells us about his background and how he found himself in real estate   14:50- Joe tells us if he thinks that COVID is the nail in the coffin for traditional retail and why  23:56- Joe shares how he approaches his tenant’s intentions to continue working and innovate through COVID  27:44- Joe explains what things look like from the lending side of things  35:39- Joe shares and direct impacts that correlate to his investors    Guest Website: https://www.graceadapartners.com/   Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

As a family-owned business, we have made a conscious choice to pay our success forward by helping our residents who live in our properties along with their family and friends. This philosophy also extends to our employees who proudly own 25% of the business.     Quotes:  “We’re closing on a 400-unit property, 396 exactly. It’s a great opportunity. We actually looked at this property in March and had it under LOI and not because of the Corona Virus, but because of property taxes here. Their property taxes tripled this year, so the underwriters couldn’t underwrite it anymore so we had to drop it and things got mitigated and things got better, so we got the deal. So, there is some action out there, and we think in the next 6 months it will improve and there will be more transactions.”  “Don’t stretch yourself too thin. Invest only what you can invest. Don’t re-mortgage the house, don’t take out a second loan. Sometimes you see that investment and it looks great, but you have to be careful because at the end of the day you have to make sure that you're comfortable and safe in your financial planning.”    Highlights:  4:47- Ajay and Manu tells us about themselves and their backgrounds  9:19- Ajay and Manu tell us what asset class they typically buy  13:43- Ajay and Manu share if they saw a downtick after stimulus checks ran out   18:54- Ajay and Manu explain how their business has changed on the acquisition side of things  23:06- Ajay and Manu give a prediction on how the commercial market will fair through COVID in Houston    Guest Website:  https://www.induscommunities.com/   Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

I can close in a day. With 85 investors, it’s just more heads to manage. In some ways, it becomes like herding cats. You have to respect that when investors want to invest a significant amount of money with you, $50,000 is a ton of money. And so, they are going to want to discuss that with you. So, you have to set aside the time to have those calls. With larger raises, you have to set aside more time. “  “Don’t quit. When things get tough, don’t quit. Just try on something new. Have faith, and just try something new to get you to where you want to go. When times get tough, it’s not a time to drop your goals.

This week’s episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cashflow Podcast features Charles Carillo. Charles Carillo is a licensed Florida real estate professional; an Eagle Scout and he first became a multifamily real estate investor in 2006. He is originally from a small town in Connecticut and moved to Florida in 2012.  While he was growing up, his father owned dozens of commercial and multifamily properties that he self-managed with a small team. This experience was priceless in shaping his future business and real estate investing career.  During college he started an online payment business that took him to dozens of countries in Europe and Asia to meet partners and clients, forging his passion for traveling. He ran his online business full-time until 2016 when he decided to switch his focus to his real estate investing company. It forced him to hire assistants and start delegating tasks for both businesses. This transformed both companies by freeing up valuable time that could now be used for “high value” activities.  Unlike other real estate investors that take a “hands-off” approach to property management, he self-managed his properties for years before hiring his first professional management company. During that time, he learned the intricacies of dealing with; tenants, contractors, superintendents, brokers, lenders, and attorneys. He purchased and renovated multifamily properties; some completely vacant and turned them into profitable investments that he still owns today.  In 2016, he founded Harborside Partners, a real estate syndication company that offers other active investors and passive investors alike, the ability to partner with him and purchase larger, more profitable assets. Currently, he has invested in over 250 units, worth over $25 million. He has designed an easy to navigate website that delivers volumes of free education along with a blog that features educational articles and the latest real estate news.  Additionally, he hosts a real estate investing podcast called Global Investors Podcast. After years of traveling the world for work, he realized that there were many foreign investors who were interested in investing in U.S real estate but did not know how to go about it. His podcast focuses on international (and U.S investors alike) looking to invest into cash flowing U.S real estate and features detailed essential information in interview format from; attorneys, active investors, passive investors, syndicators, bankers, brokers, real estate professionals, etc. who work with the U.S and international investors.  For international investors looking to be set up in the U.S to invest, he’s able to walk you through the process and direct you to the correct professionals to make the process as simple as possible.     Quotes:  “Just by pulling knowledge off and a couple of hours online, you can really figure out and kind of see the growth of different areas and compare it to the U.S. average and then compare it to other areas that you’ve invested in and then kind of figure out your plan.”  “We like long term debt and we like doing it with pretty substantial solid reserves. And, that allows us to go in and be confident when we’re working on the property, value-adding on the property, and we have a business plan that we can execute on and that will meet or exceed our expectations on the property.”    Highlights:  3:47- Charles tells us about his background and his business  13:08- Charles tells us how he identifies markets outside of his area  16:54- Charles discusses if he’d consider investing in Orlando based on the current state of the pandemic  28:36- Charles speaks about management inefficiencies with properties  Guest Website:  https://charleskcarillo.com/   Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

A co-op is where a big broker that has accounts around the world with go out and find smaller farmers collectively in places such as Peru that are growing, but they don’t have the connections nor the volume to be able to deal with the big boys (whole foods, etc.) so the broker will come in and co-op with all those small farmers to buy the food from then they will ship it and carry it out to the rest of the world.”    Highlights:  4:11- Evie gives her background and how she got started in investing abroad  13:46- Evie tells us about the different types of investments that she’s involved with in Panama  15:55- Evie explains the mechanics of co-ops in an investment sense  23:10- Evie tells us about the risks and tax benefits of the agriculture industry abroad   Guest Website:  https://eviebrookspanama.com/  Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

My kids will deal with that property. Because once these tenants get into that university, and the university continues to get bigger and bigger, it’s just such a good long-term tenant that just builds good customers whether they’re students or faculty. Since the university isn’t going anywhere, it’s a good property to own.”  “I bought a 40-unit apartment building very close to the college and I and determined that there were no condos available for this particular neighborhood and area around the university. So, what I did is I bought that apartment building for about 50 a door and I think I put in about 15 or 20 on average per door then I turned around and sold them for about $130,000.00 and I’ll tell you what; every one of those were bought by a student’s parent. It’s a phenomenal investment and goes up about 5-10% every time one of those things turns.”      Highlights:  :58- Dan's background  6:00- Dan tells his preference in which deal he’s drawn to the most  12:07- Dan tells us about his first deal  15:33- Dan tells is which commercial real estate class he thinks will thrive as we move past the pandemic  21:00- Dan tells us about a deal that went wrong and what he’s do differently a second time around      Guest Website:   https://multiplycapital.com/about    Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team
