Lane is an expert in math- he had to be. As you can imagine, Lane needed math in flying fighter jets. Think of the calculations that Lane used in aviation: How many gallons of fuel did he burn in one hour; what’s the max weight (bombs) could his aircraft hold? How fast could he get to his target? Life comes down to JAMP. Yes, ‘Just A Math Problem.’ The better you are in math, the more successful you will become in real estate. Whether you are flying fighter jets or investing in apartments; you must know some level of math. Lane breaks down five investing equations that are critical to your success. Cash on Cash Yield, Total Return, Cash Flow, Internal Rate of Return and Equity Multiple are discussed.

Investors are counting on your underwriting to make a prudent decision to invest with you. How confident are you in your transaction underwriting and loan sizing? Who is checking your math? Before you submit an LOI…and possibly RISK your earnest money and reputation, make sure you speak with an apartment LENDER to have them check your math.

In this podcast Lane shares his personal journey on how he became a millionaire apartment investor. With a full time and demanding job in the military, he started by educating himself on real estate investing first. He read articles online and listened to podcasts that focused on apartment investing. He began with a limited pot of investable dollars. During this time, Lane began aggressively networking with other investors. He went to many MeetUp’s and real estate net working events. He also joined a local real estate mentoring group. Over a period of time he became confident…that he purchased his first small 23 unit apartment building. One building, became a few and now, Lane owns several apartment buildings. Its not a race…its a journey!

Episode 198 - 4th Quarter Loan Officer Roundtable

/

A fortune cookie once said, “May you live in interesting times!” Today, in the capital markets, we live in interesting times. Your biggest partner in an apartment transaction is the lender. The lender brings to the table about 70-80% of the funds you need to close on your apartment. You want to know what is working and not working for apartment lending. We sit down with the loan officers at Old Capital to discuss all types of lending opportunities. Is Fannie & Freddie still lending? Should you consider a Bridge loan to get higher leverage? Are some syndicators having problems in raising investors money? If rates are going to be low for a while…should you consider an adjustable rate? A great discussion to listen to.
