On this episode of “The Wake-Up Call”, Host Paul Thompson shares a great conversation with Community Shaper and Real Estate Syndication expert, Sam Sells. The two discuss the benefits that Real Estate can provide to large groups of people, beyond the obvious potential for growing your own wealth and portfolio.
Sam’s Wake-Up Call came when he started to make money, but wasn’t making an impact. He has always been keen on helping others and transforming communities, and he’s developed a fantastic way of using Syndication to invest into underserved neighborhoods. Sam and Paul go into detail about the methodology of Sam’s Syndication, what’s working and what isn’t, and how you can get involved and get started.
Key Points From This Episode:
-
Find a Coach or Mentor– Namely someone who has been in the business for a while
-
There's no problem with 3rd Party Property Managers if you don’t have a large presence in a market.
-
“High Impact Deals” are challenging projects, but are worth the investment for the improvement of the community.
-
A “Rate Cap” is something you can add to a loan that caps the most an interest rate can float to… for a premium rate.
-
Be Open to different kinds of deals. 60/40 Deals, 50/50 Deals, Waterfall deals, etc. are all possibilities depending on the type of property and the situation.
-
Setting Up a Fund is More Difficult Than Expected… But Worth it.
