• 3:28
  just
• 3:28
  been
• 3:29
  tremendous.
• 3:29
  You
• 3:29
  know,
• 3:30
  I'm
• 3:30
  spending
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  tremendous
• 3:31
  amount
• 3:31
  of
• 3:32
  time
• 3:32
  like
• 3:32
  all
• 3:32
  operators
• 3:33
  trying
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  find
• 3:33
  out,
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:34
  find
• 3:34
  these
• 3:35
  awesome
• 3:35
  deals
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  pencil
• 3:35
  out
• 3:36
  on
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  value
• 3:37
  add
• 3:37
  side
• 3:37
  and
• 3:38
  especially,
• 3:38
  you
• 3:38
  know,
• 3:38
  like
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  on
• 3:39
  market
• 3:39
  deals.
• 3:40
  When
• 3:40
  I
• 3:41
  find
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  deal
• 3:41
  that
• 3:41
  pencils
• 3:42
  out
• 3:42
  that's
• 3:42
  listed
• 3:43
  on
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  market
• 3:43
  for
• 3:44
  a
• 3:44
  broker,
• 3:44
  it's
• 3:45
  really
• 3:45
  rare
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  it
• 3:45
  happens.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:46
  even
• 3:46
  when
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  do,
• 3:48
  I'm
• 3:48
  competing
• 3:48
  against
• 3:49
  20,
• 3:49
  30
• 3:49
  other
• 3:50
  buyers
• 3:50
  against
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  other
• 3:52
  deal
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  win
• 3:52
  it.
• 3:53
  So
• 3:53
  for
• 3:53
  me,
• 3:53
  the
• 3:54
  competition
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  value
• 3:55
  add
• 3:55
  space,
• 3:55
  maybe
• 3:56
  saturated
• 3:56
  wasn't
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  right
• 3:57
  word,
• 3:57
  but
• 3:58
  it's
• 3:58
  just
• 3:58
  really
• 3:58
  competitive
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  I
• 4:00
  just
• 4:00
  think
• 4:00
  it
• 4:01
  takes
• 4:01
  more
• 4:02
  of
• 4:02
  a
• 4:03
  different
• 4:03
  kind
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  investor
• 4:04
  to
• 4:05
  develop
• 4:06
  properties
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  go
• 4:06
  into
• 4:07
  development
• 4:07
  space.
• 4:08
  So
• 4:08
  yeah,
• 4:08
  to
• 4:09
  answer
• 4:09
  your
• 4:09
  question,
• 4:09
  I
• 4:10
  think
• 4:10
  there's
• 4:10
  less
• 4:10
  competition
• 4:11
  on
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  development
• 4:12
  space
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  my
• 4:12
  company
• 4:13
  is
• 4:13
  going
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  be
• 4:13
  able
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  do
• 4:14
  more
• 4:14
  deals
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  more
• 4:15
  transactions
• 4:16
  in
• 4:16
  development.
• 4:16
  Very,
• 4:17
  very
• 4:17
  neat
• 4:18
  and
• 4:18
  congratulations
• 4:18
  on
• 4:19
  that
• 4:19
  transition.
• 4:20
  Thank
• 4:20
  you.
• 4:20
  When
• 4:21
  you
• 4:21
  were
• 4:21
  making
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  transition,
• 4:22
  what
• 4:22
  do
• 4:22
  you
• 4:23
  think
• 4:23
  was
• 4:23
  the
• 4:24
  most
• 4:24
  difficult
• 4:24
  part
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  getting
• 4:25
  into
• 4:25
  the
• 4:26
  development
• 4:26
  side
• 4:26
  from
• 4:27
  value
• 4:27
  add
• 4:27
  multifamily?
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  said,
• 4:28
  yeah,
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  say
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  most
• 4:29
  difficult
• 4:29
  part
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  just,
• 4:30
  you
• 4:30
  know,
• 4:31
  you're
• 4:31
  in
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  whole
• 4:31
  different
• 4:31
  ballgame.
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  mean,
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  course
• 4:32
  when
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  switch
• 4:33
  from
• 4:34
  any
• 4:34
  different
• 4:34
  types
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  business
• 4:35
  or
• 4:36
  niche
• 4:36
  or
• 4:36
  asset
• 4:36
  class,
• 4:37
  you're
• 4:37
  in
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  whole
• 4:37
  different
• 4:37
  kind
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  business
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  know,
• 4:39
  different
• 4:39
  things
• 4:39
  to
• 4:40
  learn.
• 4:40
  So,
• 4:40
  you
• 4:41
  know,
• 4:41
  going
• 4:41
  into
• 4:41
  the
• 4:42
  value
• 4:42
  add
• 4:42
  space,
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  know,
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  whole
• 4:43
  different
• 4:44
  business
• 4:44
  plan
• 4:44
  and
• 4:45
  ball
• 4:45
  game
• 4:45
  than
• 4:46
  single
• 4:46
  payment
• 4:46
  homes
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  fix
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  flips.
• 4:47
  And
• 4:48
  similarly,
• 4:48
  like
• 4:48
  when
• 4:49
  I'm
• 4:49
  going
• 4:49
  from
• 4:49
  value
• 4:50
  add
• 4:50
  into
• 4:50
  development,
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  know,
• 4:51
  it's
• 4:51
  just
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  whole
• 4:51
  different
• 4:52
  ballgame.
• 4:52
  More
• 4:53
  things
• 4:53
  you
• 4:53
  have
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  learn
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  figure
• 4:54
  out
• 4:54
  along
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  way.
• 4:55
  You
• 4:55
  know,
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  way
• 4:56
  I've
• 4:56
  mitigated
• 4:57
  that
• 4:57
  is
• 4:57
  sort
• 4:57
  of,
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  know,
• 4:58
  finding
• 4:58
  other
• 4:59
  people
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  are
• 4:59
  in
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  development
• 5:00
  space
• 5:00
  already
• 5:01
  leveraging
• 5:01
  their
• 5:02
  knowledge,
• 5:02
  their
• 5:03
  expertise,
• 5:03
  partnering
• 5:04
  with
• 5:04
  them
• 5:04
  on
• 5:04
  deals,
• 5:04
  asking
• 5:05
  them
• 5:05
  questions,
• 5:05
  on
• 5:05
  looking
• 5:06
  at
• 5:06
  stuff.
• 5:06
  So,
• 5:07
  you
• 5:07
  know,
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  way,
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  know,
• 5:08
  just
• 5:08
  going
• 5:08
  into
• 5:09
  like
• 5:09
  that
• 5:09
  whole
• 5:09
  different
• 5:10
  sort
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  niche
• 5:11
  has
• 5:11
  been
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  most
• 5:11
  difficult
• 5:12
  part.
• 5:12
  Let
• 5:12
  me
• 5:12
  ask
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  question,
• 5:13
  Justin.
• 5:13
  So
• 5:14
  one
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  things
• 5:15
  people
• 5:15
  always
• 5:15
  hear
• 5:15
  when
• 5:16
  they
• 5:16
  talk
• 5:16
  about
• 5:16
  development
• 5:17
  is
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  risk.
• 5:17
  You
• 5:18
  know,
• 5:18
  there's
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  lot
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  money
• 5:19
  that
• 5:19
  can
• 5:19
  be
• 5:19
  made,
• 5:19
  but
• 5:19
  there's
• 5:20
  also
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  lot
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  risk.
• 5:20
  And
• 5:20
  it's
• 5:21
  good
• 5:21
  that
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  have
• 5:21
  some
• 5:21
  experienced
• 5:22
  team
• 5:22
  members
• 5:22
  with
• 5:23
  you.
• 5:23
  So
• 5:23
  how
• 5:23
  do
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  mitigate
• 5:24
  those
• 5:24
  risks
• 5:25
  for
• 5:25
  your
• 5:25
  passive
• 5:26
  investors?
• 5:26
  You
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:27
  what
• 5:27
  risks
• 5:27
  should
• 5:27
  they
• 5:28
  expect
• 5:28
  and
• 5:29
  what
• 5:29
  do
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  do
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  mitigate
• 5:30
  them?
• 5:30
  Yeah,
• 5:31
  it's
• 5:31
  an
• 5:31
  awesome
• 5:31
  question.
• 5:32
  And
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  course,
• 5:32
  there's
• 5:33
  many
• 5:33
  risks
• 5:34
  in
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  development
• 5:34
  space
• 5:34
  or
• 5:35
  many
• 5:35
  risk
• 5:35
  in
• 5:35
  any
• 5:36
  kind
• 5:36
  of,
• 5:36
  you
• 5:36
  know,
• 5:37
  investment
• 5:37
  in
• 5:37
  general.
• 5:38
  I'd
• 5:38
  say,
• 5:38
  you
• 5:39
  know,
• 5:39
  some
• 5:39
  of
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  bigger
• 5:39
  risks
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  how
• 5:40
  we're
• 5:40
  mitigating
• 5:40
  them.
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  mean,
• 5:41
  one,
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  obvious
• 5:42
  one
• 5:43
  is,
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  know,
• 5:43
  what
• 5:43
  happens
• 5:44
  if
• 5:44
  your
• 5:45
  construction
• 5:45
  costs
• 5:46
  go
• 5:46
  over
• 5:46
  budget
• 5:47
  or
• 5:47
  more
• 5:48
  than
• 5:48
  what
• 5:48
  you're
• 5:48
  planning
• 5:49
  for
• 5:49
  in
• 5:49
  your
• 5:49
  underwriting?
• 5:50
  You
• 5:50
  know,
• 5:50
  in
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  deals
• 5:51
  that
• 5:51
  we're
• 5:51
  doing,
• 5:52
  we
• 5:52
  have
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  contract
• 5:53
  price
• 5:54
  with
• 5:54
  our
• 5:54
  construction
• 5:55
  company.
• 5:55
  So
• 5:55
  we
• 5:56
  have
• 5:56
  something
• 5:56
  baked
• 5:56
  into
• 5:57
  our
• 5:57
  contract
• 5:58
  called
• 5:58
  a
• 5:58
  guaranteed
• 5:59
  maximum
• 5:59
  price,
• 6:00
  meaning
• 6:00
  that,
• 6:01
  you
• 6:01
  know,
• 6:01
  if
• 6:01
  our
• 6:02
  budget
• 6:02
  goes,
• 6:03
  if
• 6:03
  our
• 6:03
  construction
• 6:04
  budget
• 6:04
  goes
• 6:05
  over
• 6:05
  our
• 6:06
  contracted
• 6:06
  price,
• 6:07
  our
• 6:07
  construction
• 6:08
  company
• 6:08
  is
• 6:08
  actually
• 6:08
  going
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  be
• 6:09
  on
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  hook
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  that
• 6:10
  overage
• 6:10
  and
• 6:11
  not
• 6:11
  us
• 6:11
  or
• 6:11
  our
• 6:11
  investors.
• 6:12
  So,
• 6:12
  I
• 6:12
  mean,
• 6:13
  that's
• 6:13
  one
• 6:13
  major
• 6:14
  way
• 6:14
  we
• 6:14
  mitigate
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  risk
• 6:15
  on
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  development
• 6:16
  space
• 6:16
  is
• 6:16
  just
• 6:16
  having
• 6:17
  that
• 6:17
  guaranteed
• 6:18
  maximum
• 6:18
  price
• 6:18
  option
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  our
• 6:19
  contracts.
• 6:20
  Let
• 6:20
  me
• 6:20
  ask
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  a
• 6:21
  question.
• 6:21
  That's
• 6:21
  definitely
• 6:21
  a
• 6:22
  great
• 6:22
  protection
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  have.
• 6:23
  Do
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  find
• 6:23
  that,
• 6:24
  do
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  do
• 6:24
  any
• 6:24
  financial
• 6:25
  vetting
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  contractors
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  make
• 6:26
  sure
• 6:26
  they
• 6:26
  could
• 6:27
  actually
• 6:27
  make
• 6:27
  good
• 6:27
  on
• 6:27
  it?
• 6:28
  Because
• 6:28
  with
• 6:28
  some
• 6:28
  contractors,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  know,
• 6:29
  if
• 6:29
  they're
• 6:30
  not
• 6:30
  large
• 6:30
  enough,
• 6:31
  they
• 6:31
  may
• 6:31
  not
• 6:31
  actually
• 6:31
  have
• 6:31
  the
• 6:32
  financial
• 6:32
  wherewithal
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  make
• 6:33
  good
• 6:33
  on
• 6:34
  that

• 7:17
  It
• 7:17
  makes
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  lot
• 7:18
  of
• 7:18
  sense,
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  think,
• 7:18
  with

  anything
• 7:19
  in
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  business,
• 7:20
  you

  like
• 7:24
  that
• 7:24
  goes
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  long
• 7:24
  way
• 7:24
  in
• 7:24
  the
• 7:25
  development
• 7:25
  space.
• 7:25
  And
• 7:25

  the

  we

  are
• 7:47
  working
• 7:47
  with
• 7:47
  different
• 7:48
  municipalities
• 7:49
  that

  to
• 7:50
  provide
• 7:51
  incentives
• 7:51
  on
• 7:52
  our
• 7:52
  projects.
• 7:52
  You
• 7:53
  know,
• 7:53
  it's
• 7:53
  basically
• 7:54
  with
• 7:54
  how
• 7:54
  construction
• 7:55
  costs
• 7:55
  are
• 7:55
  without
• 7:56
  interest
• 7:56
  rates
• 7:56
  are.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:57
  we're

  doing

  this
• 7:58
  interview
• 7:58
  right
• 7:58
  now
• 7:58
  in
• 7:58
  September
• 7:59
  of
• 7:59
  2024.
• 8:00
  But,
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  know,
• 8:01
  development
• 8:01
  deals
• 8:01
  are
• 8:02
  almost
• 8:02
  impossible
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  get
• 8:03
  to
• 8:04
  pencil
• 8:04
  out
• 8:04
  on
• 8:04
  paper
• 8:05
  unless
• 8:06
  the,
• 8:06
  you
• 8:06
  know,
• 8:06
  the
• 8:07
  city
• 8:07
  or
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  town
• 8:08
  wants
• 8:08
  to
• 8:09
  invest
• 8:09
  in
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  project
• 8:10
  in
• 8:10
  some
• 8:10
  way
• 8:10
  to
• 8:11
  make
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  project
• 8:11
  happen
• 8:12
  again.
• 8:12
  It
• 8:12
  just
• 8:12
  goes
• 8:13
  back
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  construction
• 8:14
  costs
• 8:14
  and
• 8:14
  interest
• 8:14
  rates
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  things
• 8:15
  like
• 8:15
  that
• 8:16
  really
• 8:16
  make
• 8:16
  development
• 8:17
  challenging.
• 8:18
  So
• 8:18
  there
• 8:19
  are
• 8:19
  a
• 8:19
  lot
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  developers,
• 8:20
  like,
• 8:20
  sitting
• 8:20
  on
• 8:20
  the
• 8:21
  sidelines
• 8:21
  now.
• 8:22
  You
• 8:22
  know,
• 8:23
  they're
• 8:23
  not
• 8:23
  doing
• 8:23
  projects
• 8:24
  they're
• 8:24
  not
• 8:24
  building,
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  they
• 8:25
  can't
• 8:25
  get
• 8:25
  deals
• 8:25
  with
• 8:25
  pencil
• 8:26
  out.
• 8:26
  We
• 8:26
  are
• 8:26
  spending
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  lot
• 8:27
  more
• 8:27
  time
• 8:28
  on
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  front
• 8:28
  end,
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  know,
• 8:29
  working
• 8:29
  with
• 8:29
  municipalities
• 8:30
  and
• 8:31
  finding
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  way
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  partner
• 8:32
  with
• 8:32
  them,
• 8:33
  finding
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  way
• 8:33
  to
• 8:34
  inspire
• 8:35
  them
• 8:35
  with
• 8:35
  our
• 8:35
  projects,
• 8:36
  which
• 8:37
  does
• 8:37
  take
• 8:37
  a
• 8:38
  tremendous
• 8:38
  amount
• 8:38
  of
• 8:39
  more
• 8:39
  time
• 8:39
  in
• 8:39
  the
• 8:40
  beginning.
• 8:40
  And
• 8:41
  that's
• 8:41
  what
• 8:41
  sets
• 8:41
  our
• 8:42
  company
• 8:42
  apart
• 8:42
  from
• 8:42
  other
• 8:43
  developers
• 8:43
  that
• 8:43
  aren't
• 8:43
  willing
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  do
• 8:44
  that
• 8:45
  or
• 8:45
  are
• 8:45
  just
• 8:45
  more
• 8:45
  transactional
• 8:46
  or
• 8:47
  just
• 8:47
  doing
• 8:47
  skinnier
• 8:48
  deals.
• 8:48
  We're
• 8:48
  spending
• 8:49
  a
• 8:49
  lot
• 8:49
  more
• 8:49
  time
• 8:49
  on
• 8:49
  the
• 8:50
  front
• 8:50
  end,
• 8:50
  but
• 8:50
  we
• 8:50
  think
• 8:51
  by
• 8:51
  working
• 8:51
  with
• 8:51
  the
• 8:52
  city
• 8:52
  or
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  town
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  we
• 8:54
  have
• 8:54
  more
• 8:54
  opportunities
• 8:54
  and
• 8:55
  more.
• 8:55
  More
• 8:55
  value
• 8:56
  to
• 8:56
  be
• 8:56
  created
• 8:56
  in
• 8:56
  our
• 8:56
  projects.
• 8:57
  That's
• 8:57
  really
• 8:58
  brilliant.
• 8:58
  You
• 8:58
  know,
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  mean,
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  can
• 8:59
  sit
• 8:59
  there
• 8:59
  and
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  can
• 8:59
  fight
• 9:00
  city
• 9:00

• 9:00
  you
• 9:00
  can
• 9:00
  work
• 9:00
  with

  them.
• 9:01
  And
• 9:01
  working
• 9:01
  with
• 9:01
  them
• 9:02
  certainly
• 9:02
  seems
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  be
• 9:02
  the
• 9:03
  smarter
• 9:03
  idea.

• 9:40
  and
• 9:40
  the
• 9:41
  cities
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  we're
• 9:41
  talking
• 9:41
  to
• 9:42
  are
• 9:42
  more
• 9:43
  willing
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  incentivize
• 9:44
  those
• 9:44
  projects
• 9:44
  because
• 9:45
  they
• 9:45
  understand
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  benefits
• 9:46
  that
• 9:46
  a
• 9:46
  project
• 9:46
  like
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  brings
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  area.
• 9:48
  Yeah.
• 9:48
  To
• 9:48
  answer
• 9:48
  your
• 9:48
  question,
• 9:49
  assay
• 9:50
  mixed
• 9:50
  use
• 9:51
  projects,
• 9:51
  typically
• 9:52
  between
• 9:52
  50
• 9:52
  and
• 9:53
  150
• 9:53
  units.
• 9:54
  Okay.
• 9:54
  So
• 9:55
  you're
• 9:55
  working
• 9:55
  with,
• 9:55
  you're
• 9:56
  working
• 9:56
  with
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  local
• 9:57
  government
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  you're
• 9:58
  building
• 9:58
  things
• 9:58
  they
• 9:58
  want
• 9:59
  and
• 9:59
  you're
• 9:59
  benefiting
• 9:59
  the
• 9:59
  community.
• 10:00
  So
• 10:00
  it
• 10:00
  sounds
• 10:00
  like
• 10:00
  aside
• 10:01
  from
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  profit,
• 10:02
  maybe
• 10:02
  there's
• 10:02
  also
• 10:02
  a
• 10:03
  little
• 10:03
  bit
• 10:03
  of
• 10:03
  passion
• 10:03
  and
• 10:03
  purpose
• 10:03
  involved
• 10:04
  in
• 10:04
  it
• 10:04
  too.
• 10:04
  Right.
• 10:05
  If
• 10:05
  we
• 10:06
  could
• 10:06
  circle
• 10:06
  back
• 10:06
  around
• 10:07
  when
• 10:07
  you
• 10:07
  were
• 10:08
  making
• 10:08
  that
• 10:08
  transition
• 10:09
  from
• 10:09
  value
• 10:09
  add
• 10:09
  multifamily
• 10:10
  into
• 10:10
  development,
• 10:11
  it
• 10:11
  sounds
• 10:11
  like
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  were
• 10:12
  doing
• 10:12
  the
• 10:12
  acquisition
• 10:13
  side
• 10:13
  of
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  value
• 10:13
  add
• 10:14
  multifamily.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:15
  it
• 10:15
  sounds
• 10:15
  like
• 10:15
  that
• 10:16
  was
• 10:16
  your
• 10:16
  role
• 10:16
  within
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  multifamily
• 10:17
  development,
• 10:18
  was
• 10:18
  the
• 10:18
  acquisition
• 10:19
  still.
• 10:20
  And
• 10:20
  then
• 10:20
  you
• 10:20
  had
• 10:20
  partners
• 10:21
  that
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  brought
• 10:21
  on.
• 10:21
  What
• 10:22
  does
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  look
• 10:22
  like?
• 10:23
  Sourcing
• 10:23
  acquisitions
• 10:24
  for
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  multifamily
• 10:25
  development?
• 10:26
  Great
• 10:26
  question.
• 10:26
  It
• 10:27
  definitely
• 10:27
  takes
• 10:27
  a
• 10:27
  lot
• 10:27
  more
• 10:28
  time
• 10:29
  and
• 10:29
  sort
• 10:29
  of
• 10:29
  like
• 10:29
  imagination
• 10:30
  on
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  development
• 10:31
  side.
• 10:31
  It's
• 10:32
  not
• 10:32
  always
• 10:32
  as
• 10:32
  simple
• 10:33
  as
• 10:33
  just
• 10:33
  like
• 10:34
  seeing
• 10:34
  a
• 10:34
  piece
• 10:34
  of
• 10:34
  land
• 10:35
  listed
• 10:35
  on
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  market
• 10:36
  by
• 10:36
  a
• 10:36
  broker
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  then
• 10:37
  just
• 10:37
  going,
• 10:37
  okay,
• 10:37
  I'll
• 10:37
  go
• 10:38
  get
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  piece
• 10:38
  of
• 10:38
  land,
• 10:38
  I'll
• 10:39
  go
• 10:39
  build
• 10:39
  it
• 10:39
  there.
• 10:39
  But,
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  know,
• 10:40
  we
• 10:40
  are
• 10:40
  contacting
• 10:41
  property
• 10:41
  owners
• 10:42
  directly.
• 10:43
  A
• 10:43
  lot
• 10:43
  of
• 10:43
  the
• 10:43
  time
• 10:44
  we
• 10:44
  are
• 10:44
  going
• 10:44
  and
• 10:44
  speaking
• 10:45
  with

  at
• 10:46
  different
• 10:46
  municipalities

  and
• 10:47
  saying,
• 10:48
  you
• 10:48
  know,

  we're

  asking

  them,

  is
• 10:49
  there
• 10:49
  a

  site
• 10:50
  that

  they

  have
• 10:50
  in
• 10:50
  mind
• 10:50
  for
• 10:51
  a

  project?

  Is

• 10:54
  to
• 10:54
  see
• 10:54
  improved
• 10:55
  or
• 10:55
  developed?
• 10:56
  Sometimes
• 10:56
  it
• 10:57
  may
• 10:57
  be
• 10:57
  a
• 10:57
  piece
• 10:57
  of

  rare
• 11:00
  case,
• 11:01

  Know,

  drive

  by

  eyesore,

  think

  that's
• 11:09
  an
• 11:09
  awesome
• 11:10
  place
• 11:10
  to

  neat.
• 11:16
  Awesome.
• 11:16
  So
• 11:17
  it
• 11:17
  sounds
• 11:18
  like
• 11:18
  you
• 11:18
  guys
• 11:18
  are
• 11:19
  finding
• 11:19
  ways,
• 11:19
  in
• 11:19
  spite
• 11:20
  of
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  challenging
• 11:21
  interest

  is
• 11:38
  more
• 11:39
  red
• 11:39
  tape,

  upfront

  the

• 11:43
  You
• 11:43
  know,
• 11:43
  it
• 11:43
  might
• 11:44
  take
• 11:44
  nine
• 11:45
  months
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  a
• 11:45
  year
• 11:46
  before

  But,

  you

  we
• 11:50
  think
• 11:51
  doing
• 11:51
  that
• 11:51
  upfront
• 11:51
  work
• 11:52
  in
• 11:52
  the
• 11:52
  beginning
• 11:53
  is
• 11:53
  a
• 11:53
  lot
• 11:53
  more
• 11:54
  valuable
• 11:54
  in
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  long
• 11:55
  run
• 11:55
  and,
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  know,
• 11:56
  makes
• 11:56
  our
• 11:56
  basis
• 11:57
  lower
• 11:58
  on
• 11:58
  the

  project
• 11:58
  overall.
• 11:59
  And
• 12:00
  other
• 12:00
  companies,
• 12:00
  you
• 12:00
  know,
• 12:00
  just.
• 12:01
  It
• 12:01
  just
• 12:01
  depends
• 12:01
  on
• 12:02
  your

  business
• 12:02
  plan
• 12:03
  and

  what

  you're

  Other

• 12:09
  you

  that

  they're
• 12:10
  getting
• 12:10
  those
• 12:10
  deals
• 12:10
  that
• 12:11
  pencil
• 12:11
  out
• 12:11
  because,
• 12:12
  you
• 12:12
  know,
• 12:12
  they're
• 12:12
  just
• 12:13
  more
• 12:13
  transactional.
• 12:14
  They're
• 12:14
  taking
• 12:14
  more
• 12:15
  fees
• 12:15
  in
• 12:15
  the
• 12:16
  beginning.
• 12:16
  They're
• 12:16
  making
• 12:17
  money
• 12:17
  from
• 12:17
  their

• 12:21
  You
• 12:21
  know,
• 12:21
  I'm
• 12:21
  not
• 12:21
  saying
• 12:21
  it's
• 12:21
  right
• 12:22
  or
• 12:22
  wrong.
• 12:22
  It's
• 12:22
  just
• 12:23
  a
• 12:23
  whole
• 12:23
  different
• 12:24
  business
• 12:24
  plan.
• 12:24
  Those
• 12:25
  deals
• 12:25
  might
• 12:25
  be
• 12:26
  slimmer
• 12:26
  and
• 12:26
  more,
• 12:27
  you
• 12:27
  know,
• 12:27
  skinnier
• 12:28
  overall,
• 12:28
  but,
• 12:28
  you
• 12:29
  know,
• 12:29
  they're
• 12:29
  making
• 12:29

• 12:31
  and

  more
• 12:31
  transaction.
• 12:32
  Would
• 12:32
  that
• 12:32
  make
• 12:33
  sense?
• 12:33
  Got
• 12:33
  it.
• 12:34
  One
• 12:34
  thing
• 12:34
  I've
• 12:34
  learned
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  last
• 12:35
  couple
• 12:35
  years,
• 12:35
  even
• 12:35
  in
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  value
• 12:36
  space,
• 12:36
  I
• 12:36
  think
• 12:37
  sometimes
• 12:37
  less
• 12:37
  transactions
• 12:38
  can
• 12:38
  be
• 12:38
  more
• 12:38
  so.
• 12:39
  It
• 12:39
  sounds
• 12:39
  like
• 12:39
  you're
• 12:39
  probably
• 12:40
  on
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  right
• 12:40
  approach
• 12:40
  there
• 12:40
  with
• 12:41
  development.
• 12:41
  That's,
• 12:41
  that's,
• 12:42
  you
• 12:42
  know,
• 12:42
  taking
• 12:42
  those
• 12:43
  skinny
• 12:43
  deals
• 12:43
  can
• 12:43
  get
• 12:43
  risky.
• 12:44
  Right.
• 12:44
  Because
• 12:44
  you
• 12:44
  wind
• 12:44
  up
• 12:44
  in
• 12:45
  trouble
• 12:45
  sometimes
• 12:45
  if
• 12:45
  things
• 12:46
  don't
• 12:46
  go
• 12:46
  100%
• 12:46
  as
• 12:47
  you
• 12:47
  expect,
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  it
• 12:48
  makes
• 12:48
  it,
• 12:48
  you
• 12:48
  know,
• 12:49
  what
• 12:49
  should
• 12:49
  have
• 12:49
  been
• 12:49
  a
• 12:49
  decent
• 12:50
  deal
• 12:50
  and
• 12:50
  not
• 12:50
  so
• 12:51
  great
• 12:51
  deal.
• 12:51
  So
• 12:52
  taking
• 12:52
  less
• 12:52
  and
• 12:52
  doing
• 12:53
  more
• 12:53
  work
• 12:53
  on
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  front
• 12:54
  end
• 12:54
  sounds
• 12:54
  like
• 12:54
  a
• 12:54
  really
• 12:54
  safe
• 12:55
  approach.
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  love
• 12:55
  that.
• 12:55
  Of
• 12:56
  course,
• 12:56
  Yeah.
• 12:56
  I
• 12:56
  mean,
• 12:56
  quality
• 12:57
  over
• 12:57
  quantity
• 12:58
  has
• 12:58
  always
• 12:58
  been
• 12:59
  a
• 12:59
  good
• 12:59
  model
• 12:59
  of
• 12:59
  mine
• 12:59
  to
• 13:00
  live
• 13:00
  by.
• 13:00
  You
• 13:00
  know,
• 13:00
  if
• 13:01
  you
• 13:01
  don't
• 13:01
  have
• 13:01
  a
• 13:01
  lot
• 13:01
  of
• 13:02
  margin
• 13:02
  for
• 13:02
  error
• 13:03
  in
• 13:03
  your
• 13:03
  deals,
• 13:04
  I
• 13:04
  mean.
• 13:04
  Yeah,
• 13:04
  it
• 13:04
  just
• 13:04
  Makes
• 13:05
  them
• 13:05
  overall
• 13:06
  skinnier,
• 13:06
  risky.
• 13:07
  And
• 13:07
  in
• 13:07
  the
• 13:07
  end,
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  mean,
• 13:08
  you
• 13:08
  just
• 13:08
  put
• 13:09
  more
• 13:09
  risk
• 13:09
  on
• 13:09
  your
• 13:09
  investors.
• 13:10
  So

  one
• 13:11
  thing
• 13:11
  I

  well.

  immerse

  yourself
• 14:01
  in
• 14:01
  the
• 14:02
  space
• 14:02
  and

  from

  what's
• 14:05
  out

  there.
• 14:06
  And
• 14:06
  on
• 14:07
  the
• 14:07
  underwriting
• 14:07
  process
• 14:08
  of
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  development,
• 14:09
  I
• 14:09
  imagine
• 14:09
  at
• 14:09
  the
• 14:10
  very
• 14:10
  beginning
• 14:10
  that
• 14:10
  you
• 14:11
  weren't
• 14:11
  aware
• 14:11
  of
• 14:11
  what
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  costs
• 14:12
  were
• 14:12
  of
• 14:12
  permitting
• 14:13
  fees
• 14:13
  and
• 14:14
  building
• 14:14
  fees
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  all
• 14:14
  of
• 14:14
  those
• 14:15
  things.
• 14:15
  You
• 14:16
  worked
• 14:16
  really
• 14:16
  closely
• 14:16
  with
• 14:16
  the
• 14:17
  city
• 14:17
  manager
• 14:17
  in
• 14:17
  order
• 14:18
  to
• 14:18
  find
• 14:18
  out
• 14:18
  those
• 14:18
  things
• 14:19
  for
• 14:19
  your
• 14:19
  underwriting
• 14:19
  process
• 14:20
  on
• 14:20
  development.
• 14:21
  What
• 14:21
  did
• 14:21
  that
• 14:21
  look
• 14:21
  like?
• 14:22
  Yeah,
• 14:22
  great
• 14:22
  question.
• 14:23
  I
• 14:23
  actually
• 14:24
  went
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  spoke
• 14:24
  to
• 14:25
  another
• 14:25
  developer
• 14:26
  that
• 14:26
  is
• 14:26
  doing
• 14:27
  very
• 14:28
  similar
• 14:28
  quality
• 14:28
  deals
• 14:29
  that
• 14:29
  I
• 14:29
  want
• 14:29
  to
• 14:29
  do.
• 14:30
  And
• 14:30
  so
• 14:30
  I
• 14:30
  was
• 14:30
  actually
• 14:31
  able
• 14:31
  to,
• 14:31
  you
• 14:31
  know,
• 14:32
  leverage
• 14:32
  their
• 14:32
  knowledge,
• 14:33
  expertise.
• 14:33
  I
• 14:34
  looked
• 14:34
  at
• 14:34
  past
• 14:35
  budgets
• 14:35
  they
• 14:35
  had
• 14:36
  on
• 14:36
  their
• 14:36
  projects
• 14:37
  previously
• 14:38
  and
• 14:38
  use
• 14:38
  that
• 14:39
  as,
• 14:39
  like,
• 14:39
  some
• 14:39
  sample
• 14:40
  data
• 14:40
  to
• 14:41
  use
• 14:41
  when
• 14:41
  I'm
• 14:42
  underwriting
• 14:42
  my
• 14:43
  projects.
• 14:43
  On
• 14:43
  top
• 14:43
  of
• 14:44
  that,
• 14:44
  you
• 14:44
  know,
• 14:44
  I've
• 14:44
  already
• 14:45
  networked
• 14:45
  with
• 14:45
  other
• 14:45
  companies
• 14:46
  in
• 14:46
  the
• 14:46
  area
• 14:46
  as
• 14:46
  far
• 14:47
  as
• 14:47
  construction
• 14:47
  companies,
• 14:48
  architects,
• 14:49
  civil
• 14:49
  engineers.
• 14:50
  You
• 14:50
  know,
• 14:50
  when
• 14:51
  you
• 14:51
  really
• 14:52
  spend
• 14:52
  time
• 14:52
  in
• 14:53
  the
• 14:53
  beginning
• 14:53
  developing
• 14:54
  those
• 14:55
  relationships,
• 14:55
  you
• 14:55
  know,
• 14:55
  you
• 14:55
  can
• 14:56
  quickly
• 14:56
  send
• 14:57
  an
• 14:57
  email
• 14:57
  to

  somebody

  call
• 14:58
  somebody

• 14:59
  ask
• 14:59
  them
• 14:59
  about
• 15:00
  something.
• 15:00
  So

  networking
• 15:01
  is,
• 15:01
  like,
• 15:02
  really
• 15:02
  important
• 15:02
  in
• 15:02
  the

  and

  I've

  to,

  you

  understand

  what

  the

  numbers
• 15:06
  could
• 15:06
  be
• 15:06
  like
• 15:07
  in
• 15:07
  the
• 15:07
  beginning.
• 15:07
  That's
• 15:08
  awesome.
• 15:08
  What
• 15:08
  relationships
• 15:09
  would

  you

  say
• 15:09
  were

  the

  most
• 15:10
  important
• 15:10
  for

  you
• 15:11
  to

  consolidate

  make

  sure
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  you
• 15:12
  had
• 15:12
  at
• 15:13
  the

  beginning?
• 15:13
  Mostly
• 15:13
  just
• 15:14
  other
• 15:14
  developers.
• 15:14
  Other

  have
• 15:39
  a
• 15:40
  passive
• 15:40
  investor
• 15:41
  course.
• 15:41
  What
• 15:42
  information
• 15:42
  would
• 15:42
  you
• 15:43
  give
• 15:43
  for

  passive
• 15:43
  investor
• 15:44
  to
• 15:44
  just
• 15:44
  starting

• 15:45
  How
• 15:45
  should
• 15:45
  they
• 15:45
  be
• 15:45
  vetting
• 15:46
  a
• 15:46
  sponsor
• 15:47
  before
• 15:47
  committing
• 15:47
  capital?
• 15:48
  Yeah,
• 15:48
  great
• 15:48
  question,
• 15:49
  Charles.
• 15:49
  I
• 15:50
  would
• 15:50
  really
• 15:50
  look
• 15:50
  for
• 15:50
  a
• 15:51
  sponsor
• 15:51
  that,
• 15:52
  you
• 15:52
  know,
• 15:52
  you
• 15:53
  can
• 15:53
  know,
• 15:53
  like
• 15:54
  and
• 15:54
  trust.
• 15:54
  What
• 15:54
  I
• 15:54
  mean
• 15:55
  by
• 15:55
  that
• 15:55
  is,
• 15:56
  you
• 15:56
  know,
• 15:56
  you
• 15:56
  really
• 15:56
  want
• 15:56
  to
• 15:57
  understand
• 15:58
  who
• 15:58
  you're
• 15:58
  investing
• 15:59
  with.
• 15:59
  You
• 15:59
  know,
• 15:59
  we
• 15:59
  all
• 15:59
  know
• 16:00
  the
• 16:00
  deal
• 16:00
  is
• 16:00
  obviously
• 16:01
  important,
• 16:02
  really
• 16:02
  critical,
• 16:03
  but
• 16:03
  at
• 16:03
  the
• 16:03
  end
• 16:03
  of
• 16:03
  the
• 16:04
  day,
• 16:04
  you
• 16:04
  are
• 16:05
  investing
• 16:05
  in
• 16:06
  that
• 16:06
  company.
• 16:06
  So
• 16:07
  what
• 16:07
  I
• 16:07
  would
• 16:07
  recommend
• 16:08
  is
• 16:08
  get,
• 16:08
  you
• 16:09
  know,
• 16:09
  investor
• 16:09
  references
• 16:10
  from
• 16:10
  their
• 16:10
  past
• 16:11
  projects.
• 16:11
  You

  know,
• 16:12
  verify
• 16:12
  the
• 16:12
  performance,
• 16:13
  performance
• 16:13
  of
• 16:14
  their
• 16:14
  past
• 16:14
  and
• 16:15
  current
• 16:15
  deals.
• 16:15
  It's
• 16:16
  easy
• 16:16
  to
• 16:16
  see
• 16:17
  like
• 16:17
  projects

• 16:18
  like
• 16:18
  on
• 16:18
  their
• 16:19
  website,
• 16:19
  but,
• 16:20
  you
• 16:20
  know,
• 16:20
  really
• 16:20
  like,
• 16:20
  ask
• 16:21
  the
• 16:21
  sponsor
• 16:22
  for
• 16:22
  legitimate
• 16:23
  information
• 16:23
  about
• 16:24
  how
• 16:24
  you
• 16:24
  can
• 16:24
  verify
• 16:24
  those
• 16:25
  numbers
• 16:25
  of
• 16:25
  what
• 16:25
  they're
• 16:26
  showcasing
• 16:26
  or
• 16:27
  not
• 16:27
  showcasing
• 16:28
  on
• 16:28
  the

  website.

  additionally,
• 16:29
  you
• 16:30
  can
• 16:30
  do
• 16:30
  background
• 16:30
  checks.
• 16:31
  I
• 16:31
  don't
• 16:31
  hear
• 16:32
  a
• 16:32
  lot
• 16:32
  of
• 16:32
  people
• 16:32
  talk
• 16:32
  about
• 16:32
  that.
• 16:33
  It's
• 16:33
  a
• 16:33
  really
• 16:34
  simple
• 16:34
  process
• 16:34
  to
• 16:35
  run
• 16:35
  a
• 16:35
  background
• 16:35
  check
• 16:35
  on

  somebody
• 16:36
  and,
• 16:37
  you

  All

  those
• 16:41
  things
• 16:41
  are
• 16:41
  really

  simple.

  But

  one
• 16:43
  of
• 16:43
  the
• 16:43
  most

  I

  if

  we

  Awesome.

  yep,

  for
• 17:37
  it.
• 17:37
  Erica.
• 17:38
  I
• 17:38
  guess
• 17:38
  I
• 17:38
  can
• 17:38
  imagine
• 17:39
  that
• 17:39
  it
• 17:39
  gets
• 17:40
  very
• 17:40
  frustrating
• 17:40
  for
• 17:40
  people
• 17:41
  getting
• 17:41
  into
• 17:41
  investing.
• 17:42
  Maybe,
• 17:42
  you
• 17:42
  know,
• 17:43
  have
• 17:43
  a
• 17:43
  really
• 17:43
  good
• 17:43
  paying
• 17:44
  W2
• 17:44
  salary
• 17:45
  position
• 17:45
  and
• 17:46
  want
• 17:46
  to
• 17:46
  get
• 17:46
  into
• 17:46
  real
• 17:46
  estate
• 17:46
  investing.
• 17:47
  I
• 17:47
  see
• 17:47
  quite
• 17:47
  often
• 17:48
  where
• 17:48
  they
• 17:48
  attempt
• 17:48
  to
• 17:48
  do
• 17:48
  fix
• 17:49
  and
• 17:49
  flips
• 17:49
  and
• 17:50
  all
• 17:50
  of
• 17:50
  those
• 17:50
  things
• 17:50
  to
• 17:51
  scale
• 17:51
  in.
• 17:51
  What
• 17:51
  would
• 17:52
  you
• 17:52
  say
• 17:52
  is
• 17:52
  the
• 17:52
  biggest
• 17:52
  benefit
• 17:53
  of
• 17:53
  investing
• 17:54
  with
• 17:54
  someone
• 17:54
  like
• 17:54
  yourself
• 17:55
  versus
• 17:56
  trying
• 17:56
  to
• 17:56
  do
• 17:56
  fix
• 17:56
  and
• 17:56
  flips
• 17:57
  or
• 17:57
  wholesaling
• 17:57
  or
• 17:58
  any
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  those
• 17:58
  other
• 17:58
  strategies?
• 17:59
  Question.
• 17:59
  Let's
• 18:00
  say,
• 18:00
  you
• 18:00
  know,
• 18:00
  when
• 18:00
  you're
• 18:01
  investing
• 18:02
  with
• 18:02
  a
• 18:03
  operator
• 18:03
  or
• 18:03
