This week's topic: 4 Essentials for Investing in the Real Estate Market

The interest rates have been on an upward trajectory, signaling a shift in the real estate financial landscape. Higher interest rates typically result in increased borrowing costs, a slowdown in sales, and a potential decrease in property values, affecting both homebuyers and property investors. This dynamic environment demands a strategic reassessment and pivoting from investors to help them navigate the evolving economic conditions and adjust their expectations in response to the changing landscape.

In the episode, Nate shares that the key to navigating the market is understanding where the upside is in the market. According to him, debt is playing a pivotal role in the current market. You can acquire real estate by assuming loans at a 3 to 4% interest rate compared to borrowing at a higher interest of 8 to 9% in the commercial space. This approach offers good cash flow opportunities with higher cap rates, presenting a favorable investment landscape.

Nate has been a long-time investor of apartment complexes in the multifamily space, closing 218 deals last year and aiming to break 100 deals this year despite market shifts. He shares that in the first 3 months of the year, Lenders were retrading, pushing back, and canceling their commitment, and there is still a lot of that going on. However, they have seen more activities from loan assumption, taking on debts already there, and buying companies in real estate. His determination highlights the resilience of real estate, even in challenging times.

Nate is the principal and managing partner of Crowdfunding Lawyers, and they have been helping thousands of people doing real estate deals over the years. He is a deal junkie whose mission is to make things happen in his business and for other investors. His passion and background for the past 20-plus years have been in investment deals and roundup development in GP teams, where he has done more than 4000 multifamily units over the years and helped people raise billions to make things happen.

That is part of what Nate shares with Fuquan today. He emphasizes that the key to success is understanding the market upside and acquiring real estate through assuming loans at lower interest rates. Real estate investing is always going to be there, and it has made more millionaires than anything else.

Investing in multifamily properties in a high-interest rate market is like riding a wave of challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the elevated interest rates have increase the cost of financing, reducing the profitability of multifamily investments. Higher borrowing costs have also impacted property valuations, leading to tight profit margins, particularly for investors heavily reliant on leverage. However, this challenging environment also offers opportunities to investors, which we will discuss with Nick Elder in today’s show.

In the episode, Nick shares that strategic investing, partnering with the right investors, and asset management are the keys to growing your wealth and portfolio in real estate. Nick is a former pharmaceutical sales rep turned real estate investor whose journey is one of resilience and determination. He started investing in 2019 on the side but turned his real estate side hustle into a full-time gig after being laid off from his pharmaceutical sales job in August 2022. 

Nick’s first investment was in a house hack (a 3-bed, 3-bath single-family property) in Denver that eliminated his rent, increased his income, and provided the foundation for growing his wealth through strategic real estate investments. Nick is also a partner at his own company, and his wisdom extends to investing in smaller syndications and out-of-state fix and flips. He’s also a limited partner in several private equity funds at Ironton Capital, where he has contributed significantly to raising $20M.
