Property Profits Real Estate Podcast

Real estate is a long game; nevertheless, you can also speed up success. It may take a lot of effort, hard work, and relentless pursuit to lift it off the ground, but it's worth all the trouble in the end.
How do you build and operate a real estate business domestically and internationally faster than you can imagine?
In 2018, our founder, Ryan Luke set out on a mission to build himself a property portfolio.
What started off as just an additional “means-of-income” has now evolved into a globally-recognized brand, that serves a wide scope of professionals, across the short-term rentals and serviced accommodation industry. The company’s property management portfolio is now worth over £50 million – with more than 300 properties under its belt, and property managers based in various parts of the world. Ryan’s personal journey introduced him to the world of short-term rental hosting – also known as Airbnb investing and Airbnb property management.
For this episode, Ryan shares that to grow quicker, one needs to leverage other people's time and avoid being a control freak, acknowledging other people's help to run your business.

01:30 - A bird's eye view of his journey into quickly scaling with short-term rentals
03:25 - What he was busy with before real estate
05:07 - How his real estate empire operates and accelerates its growth and the opportunity he saw in Dubai to start a real estate business there
09:30 - What his portfolio looks like now, and what strategy helps create quick cash flow and get into the idea of franchising
Key Takeaways:
"How did it scale so quickly, is probably the 4:30 am starts the relentless attitude to know as much as I possibly could about this industry, as quick as I possibly could. Also, soaking up as much knowledge as possible, taking big risks, and trying as much as possible to move the ball forward all the time." - Ryan Luke
"Each leap kept me thinking; I need to be near these properties to make it work. Because in the background, one of the advantages of having the job was that I had to build a system that could effectively get guests in and out while I was occupied at work." - Ryan Luke
"I feel like I'm quite good with technology. Anyway, I've always been quite a techie. And I just researched a lot more about different types of software that you can use within the industry and also external employment in the industry, and I built an almost automated process to get guests from the minute they book through to checkout without really needing to contact me. And that allowed me to scale." - Ryan Luke
"It might have been Warren Buffett who said, you don't necessarily need to own assets to make money, you just need control over assets, then you can get cash flow from them." - Ryan Luke

Big real estate investing business players are all over every asset class available. There is not one investment portfolio that they are not focusing on. In fact, there is a growing interest now in some other properties they have yet to invest in.
What are the chances of mom-and-pop real estate investing businesses thriving? Could this be the end of the small players in the industry? Is there any threat lurking around?
That and more we will find out in this episode.
Gunnar Branson is the CEO of AFIRE, an association for international real estate investors focused on commercial property in the United States. This group of institutional investors from 24 countries collectively manage approximately $3trillion in commercial real estate assets. Previously, Mr. Branson was the CEO of NAREIM (The National Association of Real Estate Investment Managers). His real estate background includes leadership roles with GE Capital Real Estate and Heller Financial. He also consulted companies such as Jones Lang LaSalle,
Wells Fargo, Wrightwood Capital, CIBC, and Fidelity on innovation, product development, and marketing strategies. Mr. Branson is a frequent speaker, for universities and professional groups, on television, and with TEDx, on the changing landscape of commercial real estate
In this episode, Gunnar shares what differentiates institutional investors from small players in the real estate business. He points out how they think of time and the scale with which they operate as the primary reason for its existence. He explained further that even with the massiveness in which they invest, he doesn't see any risk of getting small players out of the game; in fact, larger players can be part of smaller ones' exit strategy.

Key Takeaways:
"Part of what's been happening is, not just during COVID, the long-term lease they were investing in. It was typical for 20-plus year leases for large office tenants in these best-of-the-best buildings. You had a very stable asset. You had something where the tendency didn't flip over a lot and where you didn't have to worry about it every year like you do in multifamily. And where you had a very tangible asset that had value, not just for ten years, but for 100 years." - Gunnar Branson
"A lot of smaller groups have actually looked at institutional investors as an exit, as a way to say, I'm going to create a portfolio, I'm going to then sell that portfolio to a larger player. And that tends to be how that works."  - Gunnar Branson
"Quite honestly, most of the innovation needs to take place at a small scale before it gets to the large, but you know, to a certain extent, think of institutional players as these large creatures that, although they can be somewhat nimble, because of the people that are working inside these companies, they are really not interested in taking away the business of the mom and pops." - Gunnar Branson

When you're scaling, there's got to be some downside that goes with it. But whatever that is, the significant benefits that happen more than compensate for the cons.
What are those advantages? That's what we will find out in this episode.

04:43 - Number of units to have to justify having an onsite staff to manage the properties
06:07 - Property management staff doing all else other than what their full-time work requires them [and how she is getting paid for this setup]

"Like the property management company that we're working with now, for all of our properties, they only do the bigger properties. And that's how they're set up. And so, they know how to do that really well. And one thing they do that just blows us away is their marketing. We pay that expense, but what we're getting for it is just blowing us away." - Lee Yoder
"People will talk about, you have one vacancy, and it's not a big deal on a 47-unit like it is in a duplex where you go up to 50% vacant." - Lee Yoder
"With this property management company on the 96-unit, they don't have to charge us for sending somebody out because the people were there. So, the efficiency of it, it's less cost." - Lee Yoder

Want to invest in real estate but avoid the hassle of actively participating in running it? How about cross-border investing in the US? How complicated is it to invest over there with another country's laws and regulations you must deal with?
That's precisely what this episode is about, and all those questions are answered. Let's listen in now.

Topics Covered:
01:29 - Defining what turnkey properties are
03:23 - What's behind going through the trouble of building those properties only to sell them to other investors?
05:39 - Attractive markets for these turnkey properties
08:16 - Rental price range and expected cash flows from these turnkey rentals
9:51 - Overcoming challenges of cross-border investing
Key Takeaways:
"Once we've hit our portfolio needs, we can open it up to our other investors. With every investor, we have a specific investment plan and strategy based on how many assets we want to own. But we've already built those teams and systems. So, you just keep that wheel turning to offer those products to our clients." - Zach Lemaster
"Florida's probably the best market for appreciation, and as well as cash flow right now, because there are so many people moving, there's a huge rental demand." - Zach Lemaster
"We also invest heavily in Alabama, and some Midwestern states. We can have a little bit lower price point, maybe not as much appreciation, but potentially better cash flow would be areas like Kansas City, Missouri, and different areas in Ohio and Indianapolis."- Zach Lemaster
"The tax structure is extremely attractive to own real estate in the US. And it's beneficial for investors to invest here because of that. So there really isn't a lot of reportable income. And they can operate through different tax structures to set themselves up for success, say when they have capital gains, and they want to do something on the exit of the property." - Zach Lemaster
"We've had investors go through conventional loans. When we say conventional, that's your 30-year fixed loan. Many people don't know that that exists for Canadians. But obviously, we do that a lot for our Canadian clients. So, it's just about building a plan and strategy with you based on your goals. And then, mapping it out."- Zach Lemaster

"When I hear market shift, recessions, and inflation and all these things, I usually think the opposite of what the media will lead us to believe that Rome is burning. When those things happen, I think it's always an awesome opportunity for investors." - Mike Simmons
"To me, the market, I think of it like the weather. The market doesn't have a feeling. It's not out to get you; it's not good or bad. It's just what it is. And if you adjust your approach, your model a little bit if necessary to accommodate what's happening in the market, it can always be great." - Mike Simmons
"For the last seven years, direct mail has been the workhorse for me. It's crazy to me that it still works in 2022. It sounds antiquated but it simply does work." - Mike Simmons
"It's important to understand, we talk a lot about ABCD neighborhoods in real estate, really great, really bad. The money is in that BC area." - Mike Simmons
"The first-time home buyers, people who are downsizing, it's just that meaty part of our market. And that's where I do most of my marketing." - Mike Simmons
"What would I do if I was moving into any market? What size list do I want to be mailing to? I usually tell people to shoot for between three and five thousand mailers per month." - Mike Simmons
" I've done a lot of testing. Marketing depends, largely the biggest factor is timing." - Mike Simmons
"The very basic, even black and white or yellow card with black writing, whatever basic message. I want to buy your house. I can close quickly no closing costs. All that basic casual postcard will outperform the highly produced professional postcard every time, and it almost never fails to work that way." - Mike Simmons

Real estate can become complex, but you can always opt for simplicity in the way you manage the business.
Do you want to get into real estate without the hassle of tenants, managing people, dealing with repairs and maintenance, toilets, and trash?

"In self-storage, if somebody doesn't pay you, you put an overlock on their unit on the sixth day, and then after 90 days or 60 days, depending upon what state you're in, then you get to sell their stuff off, and the unit opens up again, and you're able to move in the next person waiting in line." - Scott Myers
"Just from a simplicity standpoint, we would rather manage people's stuff than manage people, and we can use technology to run our facilities." - Scott Myers

Deploying BRRRR into your property deals is not a walk in the park, especially when you're new and getting yourself wet in the waters.
Experimenting with what works and what doesn't would take most of your time, money, and effort. This doesn't work well when you want to maximize your profits. Besides, you also have your joint partners to consider who would benefit from your earnings.
You either do things on your own, risk your limited resources or learn how to grow faster from someone who has successfully done the same thing.

"I think we've progressed into what I like to say the Costco effect. We have our group of companies under one roof, who facilitate these incredible returns and help the success of our BRRRRs." - Adrian Pannozzo
"We're just persistent. Ultimately, you can't force them [tenants] to leave, they have rights, obviously, under the landlord-tenant board. But it's just baby steps, and negotiation and helping them find a new place."- Adrian Pannozzo
 "98% of the time, we keep it at 50/50. But there have been occasions where we've done bigger deals to modify the share structure, given the amount of capital required. We just want to be fair both ways. We tried to create that win-win scenario between ourselves and them." - Adrian Pannozzo
"We have in-house property management and whatnot. My word is the 'Costco Effect' of having these companies under one roof. And our mindset was we wanted to appeal to those joint venture partners, investors that walk through the door, and there's everything under one roof."- Adrian Pannozzo

“The reality is, if we see some of that inventory starting to creep back up, and the only thing that's going to attract buyers to buy the property is possibly pricing discounts into the property in itself. So, is that something people should be paying attention to? The answer is yes, you should, because this can be huge opportunities.”  - Michael Ponte
