I am often contacted by people who think that multifamily real estate is a way to hide their money. This is a misconception that I want to address on this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show. There are many benefits to being a multifamily investor. Your money is insulated from theft because no one can steal your ownership of a property. Your money may grow because the property becomes more valuable, or you may be able to write off the depreciation if it goes down, while still receiving income from your tenants. There are also tax benefits, especially if you invest your money in other multifamily properties. Put together, you may see all these benefits as hiding your money, but there’s nothing illegal about it. Learn more on this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show.

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we are talking about real estate fails. Specifically, we are talking about why many real estate investors are heading toward a cliff and may have to bail out before they drive off it. The costs of owning and operating multifamily real estate have gone up significantly in the past few years, and because tenants are getting squeezed by the same economic forces, landlords can’t raise rent. Watch this episode and we’ll do a deep dive into why this is happening and what you can do to prepare yourself for a tough couple of years.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we’re putting down our real estate hats in favor of thinking caps.

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I talk about market crashes. The market always goes up on a long enough timeline, as does real estate, but market dips and corrections are inevitable. When the market does go down, should you sell or buy the dip?

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we’re talking about the three different types of multifamily investors: Investors who want income, investors who want to build wealth, and investors who want a mix of both.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I reveal why I am raising millions of dollars from savvy investors. The past few months and years have been a great opportunity for multifamily investors, especially when it comes to interest rates. But now, interest rates are going up, and other costs are as well, and many investors are starting to lose money. What’s more, many of them structured low loan payments in exchange for a balloon payment at the end of the term, and now that last payment is looming. Their inexperience is going to be our opportunity, as we are preparing to buy at much lower prices than market value. Watch this video to learn more about what we’re doing now, and what we’ll be doing in the future.
