In the dynamic world of real estate investment, identifying strategies that bolster your portfolio while optimizing operational efficiency is crucial. A standout strategy, known for its effectiveness and potential for high returns, is the investment in apartment buildings. At the Commercial Real Estate Mentorship Program, we are dedicated to guiding our clients toward investment opportunities that not only promise growth but also operational and financial efficiency.

Why Apartment Building Investments Make Sense

Investing in apartment buildings offers the advantage of economies of scale, a principle that can significantly enhance your investment's profitability. Here’s why:

Cost-Effective Management: Investing in a multifamily property means you're streamlining your management efforts and costs. Managing one building with multiple units is often more cost-effective per unit than managing the same number of units spread across several single-family homes. This consolidation of resour...

In the ever-evolving landscape of investment, finding sectors that not only promise but also deliver growth and resilience can be a game-changer for investors. Today, I'm thrilled to dive into one such sector that is often overlooked yet brimming with potential: self-storage.

High Demand: A Pillar of Strength

At the heart of self-storage's attractiveness as an investment lies its enduring high demand. This demand transcends typical market segments or demographics, driven instead by a wide array of life events and business needs. Whether it's individuals facing life transitions such as moving or downsizing, or businesses in need of inventory management, equipment storage, or document archiving solutions, self-storage offers a flexible and convenient option.

This broad customer base ensures a steady demand for self-storage units, which in turn leads to high occupancy rates. For investors, this translates into stable revenue streams—a key factor in the sector's resilience. The versatil...

The majority of Mobile Home Parks in America are owned free and clear. There is no banker. How would you like to buy a property and not have to go to the bank to get a loan? How would you like to cut a deal where you do not have to have a down payment? Those are two wins I think for you.

As a newbie, you'd like to get the cash flow. If you had 50 units and you increase the rent $50 a month, you have $30,000 more income coming in each year. Would that be nice? Sure, would! It is a win-win deal and I like that. You benefit because you get the income, you get the upside, you get the capital appreciation, you get the opportunity to increase the value and you get all that because you set a fixed price in advance.

At the end of the master lease, or any time before the end of the master lease, if you want to exercise your option, you could. It is a wonderful way for you to get into a property with literally nothing down. I think it is great for you. I’m going to tell you point blank, the sm...

Anyone that tells you, you don't need money to do buy, fix, and flip is lying. Now I didn't say it had to be your money, OK? But you do need money to do a deal. So, unless you are sitting on a ton of cash, you are probably going to be look at borrowing the money for your buy, fix, and flip, deal from a hard money lender, not the bank. 

Traditional Lenders

Let me describe how it really works, because I have been a real estate lender for over 30 years. I started lending with the Bank of America when I was only 22 years old. I have worked for the Bank of America and the Chemical Bank of New York, and have been a residential and commercial lender and commercial mortgage broker for the last 20+ years.

Let’s say you were going to go to a bank to try to get this deal done and buy residential property as an investment. First off, the banks are not going to be wild about making that loan in the first place, and you must go through all their hoops and rules and you must have a 20% down paymen...
