Cole Baker

I cold called an investor (who owns over $25,000,000 worth of real estate almost all free & clear) to ask for advice.

Here's what he said:

"Real estate is all about satisfying the resident & reducing costs."

Seemingly contradictory statements.

But when executed well:

Crushes.

Here's his advice:

1) Buy units with more bedrooms.

- For him, he buys assets & holds them in perpetuity.
- He found residents stay longer with 2-3 bedrooms.
- This is true for dishwashers & washer/dryers too.
- Here was his point: anticipate their needs.
- Anticipate their growth in life (families).
- & provide them convenience.

As their family grows & they make more money, you have the capacity to support this.

2) Be vertically integrated.

In his opinion:

- The single greatest opportunity to reduce cost.

He wanted to maximize cash flow:

- He had a manager & went in 2 days/week.
- This increased his cash flow, which
- Afforded a better life style.

The conversation was over 40 minutes.

He was very gracious with his time.

(Probably because he afford it).

P.S. Curious to hear your favorite interactions on a cold call?

Upstate Building Industry Alliance

The UBIA is an alliance of builders, contractors, remodelers and other professionals in the construction industry based in Upstate NY. These businesses choose to be a member of an organization that provides education, training and information to be sure they stay informed and up to date on everything from new regulations to newly implemented building and construction codes. 

You might be surprised to know that there is currently no registration, licensing, or certification process in place in New York State. That’s right - if you’re a professional in the building industry, anyone can set up and do likewise. Complaints about them reflect on you and your field. If you’re a consumer, there’s very little to help you when you’re searching for a professional.

Who better than building industry experts to outline standards and inform, educate and update contractors in the building industry? We gathered the Greater Rochester area's most experienced building industry experts to set the standards for our members. We’re involved in and ahead of the latest news and developments in the building industry and how it impacts our local community.  We require our members to take a minimum of two professional courses a year, and to sign a code of ethics and professional conduct to remain members.

💰I help owners and operators of real estate increase their NOI.💵 | Creator of The TCO Method™ | Real Estate Investor | Podcast Host

Since leaving my W2 in 2019, I've helped my clients save over $8M in CapEx costs, deliver over $6.7M in additional recurring annual NOI, and add over $111M in value to their multifamily portfolios  - without deferred maintenance, reducing headcount or cute tricks that involve moving OpEx to CapEx.

During the pandemic, I helped my clients navigate and minimize the supply chain issues and unprecedented cost increases that hammered the industry - causing delays, blown budgets and that highlighted the problems with just-in-time inventory across the MRO supply landscape.

Now, the majority of my work is putting the fundamentals of The TCO Method ® to work for my clients, creating transparency to the Total Cost of Ownership for their assets and helping them reach their business goals.

I created The TCO Method ® after 25 years working side-by-side with industry leaders who helped me understand their business models, needs and challenges and who gave me a lot of the answers I needed to help other operators solve problems.

Their willingness to teach me the business and the access to dozens of operations at the highest levels allowed me to see patterns and identify issues that can be addressed before they become problems.

If you own or operate properties for income, I can help you make more money.
