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?
