If you were actually at my event, you'd know that 1) I buy at wholesale prices, 2) I buy for cash flow, not for speculative appreciation, 3) we 'create' appreciation by making value-add improvements to properties, and never speculate, 4) I stabilize properties & refi out my investors in 12-18 months, allowing more predictability in interest rates & loan terms than speculating 5-7 years out like most syndicators do, 5) if the market shifts, I'm at a low enough cost basis that I have many options on what to do with the property (hold, refi, sell, etc), 6) once investors are cashed out in 12-18 months, I'm the only one with ongoing responsibility & liability (even though it's a non-recourse loan there is still some liability I take on), 7) I project for increased interest rates (which actually just dropped .25% last week, btw), lower LTVs, and lower valuations than what the market is showing right now, keeping us at very safe levels, and 8) I only buy workforce A & B class apartments (not luxury, not C/D class) which is the most insulated asset class in real estate.I have NEVER publicly pitched a deal, or even pitched a deal in my events.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
