Hi guys, I will no longer be able to make this year's BEC Conference. I know it's last minute but if anyone is interested in purchasing the ticket, I am selling it for $600. Paid $695 last year and current pricing is $1,499+. I have confirmed and the ticket is fully transferable. 

Thank you.

Although I value good tenants, I’d definitely keep the rent increases. Many good reasons already mentioned but inflation alone is a reason to increase. Even at 3% increases, you’d still be below the current inflation rate. 

Treat it as a business.

Can't have Texas Multifamily without Networking and BBQ!

Come join us at our meetup next Saturday, August 7th @ 11:30am at Spring Creek BBQ in The Woodlands. We will have Jamie Grubb (Lument) there to discuss the state of the financial lending markets. Specifically we will discuss bridge debt and preferred equity from funds and life insurance companies, which is becoming more common in deals in the current market. Bring your business cards and your appetite!

Join us for our monthly multifamily meetup in The Woodlands, Tx. 

This month we'll have Dan Kaderka join us as a guest! Dan is a rockstar multifamily insurance specialist. We have worked with Dan on several MF deals and he'll be showing us what we need to look for in an insurance quote. Be ready to learn, network, and eat some delicious BBQ. See you there!

You’re very welcome @Hayden Wright. Make it happen!

Hi @Jacob Fitzgerald, no worries! We'll be there again next month. https://www.meetup.com/Multifa...

@Hayden Wright, I acquired my first multifamily property (32 unit) via hand written direct mail. It works.

I actually had several people call or email me with interest in selling. Most were overpriced.

Although it’s not ideal and would really be tiresome, my advice would be to have them handwritten by someone if your handwriting is not the best. It makes the letters more personal and sellers will tend to keep them (at least for a bit longer) than printed letters. If they’re not ready to sell now, they may still have the letter months later and reach out to you.

Best of luck!
