10 Daily Choices That Decide Your Future

Think there's a margin for error in asset management? Think again! 💼🚫 
 
 
 
Asset Management: No Room for Errors 
 
 
 
I discussed asset management training again with my mentor of Millionaire Multifamily Mastermind. He knows I'm candid. It was on a Zoom call with my colleagues. 
 
 
 
This time I thought we were on the same page. It was a moment of bi-directional mentoring. 
 
 
 
So, in Dallas. Texas in Early June 2024 Millionaire Multifamily Mastermind was to have asset management on the training agenda.  There was a bus ride. My business partner Dan Riddle was on the bus.  Charlie Young, CEO of Madera Residential, headquartered in Lubbock, Texas discussed the following: 

✅ Uptown in decline (Dallas, Texas)
✅ Rise of Knox Henderson area (Dallas, Texas)
✅ Rise of Victory Park area (Dallas, Texas)

Charlie Young had site tours of Madera Residential properties in some of the above areas. Dan Riddle told me that there was detailed information discussed on these site tours.

Brad Sumrok's general partner discussed a multifamily property in Richardson, Texas at Springhill.  Dan Riddle told me there was very detailed information discussed on this property site tour.
 
 
Still, more detailed Asset Management training is needed! Now is a challenging time.  This requires more expertise in Asset Management, not less!  Asset Managment cannot take a backseat to Capital Raising!

I will receive my detailed Asset Managment Training at another event in Dallas, Texas in 2025.  It will be a dedicated asset manager's 2nd year to organize and train at a Multifamily Asset Managment Event. Let me know your thoughts. ⬇️

How can detailed asset management training benefit professionals?

What is Millionaire Multifamily Mastermind known for?

What's Madera Residential's origin story?

I would add reading the book "Building An Elite Organization". I met Don Wenner at a Brad Sumrok mastermind event in Reunion, Florida.

Listening is too under-rated! Dora Vanourek

How does servant leadership empower teams?

What role does active listening play in servant leadership?

How does team development contribute to servant leadership?

IBM | Ranked #1 female creator in Canada 🇨🇦 | Certified Executive Coach | Mountaineer 🏔 | Follow me for daily posts about leadership, life hacks and anti-burnout

Servant leaders are weak.

(This is a myth holding you back from reaching your leadership potential)

In reality, servant leaders are the strongest leaders because they empower others.

Servant leadership is not about being passive or a pushover.

It's about:

- leading with empathy and humility
- doing what's right for your team
- a commitment to growth 

Research shows that teams led by servant leaders experience:

- an 85% increase in job satisfaction
- a 50% increase in employee retention

How can you get started with servant leadership?

Take these 3 steps:

1/ Prioritize active listening, while asking:
- What challenges are you facing in your current role?
- How can I support you better?

2/ Foster a culture of trust and respect:
- establish open communication
- be consistent in words and actions

3/ Prioritize team development:
- assess the aspirations of each team member
- offer opportunities for growth

Be the leader you wish you had.

P.S. What leadership value do you appreciate the most?

What’s the most dangerous word you can think of?

Here’s mine:

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

• Financial stagnation leads to loss (inflation)
• Personal stagnation leads to loss (frustration)
• Educational stagnation leads to loss (mental deterioration)

Most people think if they put in 10-20 years of fruitful work, they’ll eventually be able to flip on cruise control.

But when you stop growing, you start dying.

It’s true of your wealth.
It’s true of your personal growth.
It’s true of your intellectual development.

Resting on your laurels is a near-guaranteed way to soon be pushing up daisies. 

You need to challenge yourself.
You need to find new ways to expand.
You need to avoid spinning your wheels at all costs.

That’s why “stagnation” is the most dangerous word I can think of.

What’s yours?

It was an honor to meet Don Wenner in Reunion, Florida and to receive an autographed copy of his book "Building An Elite Organization".  Thank you to Brad Sumrok for making it possible.

Founder & CEO of DLP Capital. 2X Bestselling Author.

This year, I’ve had the honor and privilege of traveling and working alongside John C. Maxwell, a renowned author and speaker known for his profound influence in the field of leadership and personal development. 

A #1 New York Times best-selling author recognized as the top leader in business by the American Management Association, John has published over 80 books sharing his expertise on leadership, communication, teamwork, and personal growth. 

He has inspired countless individuals and organizations worldwide to reach their full potential while leading with integrity and purpose.

John is a highly sought-after speaker, presenting to crowds in the tens of thousands around the world, which made it truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience when he joined our team this week for a meeting of our leadership and personal development book club, Driven 4 Greatness (D4G). 

John joined us to discuss his recently published book, “High Road Leadership: Bringing People Together in a World That Divides.” We’re highly selective with the titles we choose for D4G, and even among the truly exceptional books we’ve discussed in this group, “High Road Leadership” is a clear standout.

In the book, John asserts that “everything rises and falls on leadership;” good leadership can help people rise up to a better life, while poor leadership can cause people to fall into despair. 

In today’s increasingly divided world, John argues, we see more leadership that does the latter, causing people to fall “into disputes, frustration, anger, and despair.” 

He introduces the concept of high-road leadership as a solution and, ultimately, the key to increasing influence and making the world a better place. 

Leaders who embody high-road leadership value all people, do the right things for the right reasons, take accountability for their actions, and place people above their own agenda.

I highly encourage everyone to read it. If you’ve read it already, I’d love to know what you think about this book.

Sometimes when it comes to leadership success, we get in our own way. 

We develop certain mindset blocks that prevent us from thinking we'd ever be capable as a leader.

These leadership mindset blocks can drag you down. 

They can stunt your leadership growth. 

And prevent you from establishing strong relationships with people in your team.

Resulting in you not lasting very long at all in your leadership position.

Here are some common leadership mindset blocks I've come across as well as different (more helpful) perspectives you can have.

⭐ 1. My opinion isn't worth anything so I'll keep quiet.
Remember, you were hired for a reason. You've built the experience and expertise you need. All you need to do now is start sharing that publicly.

⭐ 2. I want all the glory for myself because I put in the hard work!
Well, it seems you don't want to share your win with others. Oh no! Remember that your success as a leader is because of the accumulative success and skill of people in your team. You can get recognition, but your team deserves recognition too.

⭐ 3. It's faster if I do it myself.
Here, you’re missing a really important point about being a leader - your job is to develop and improve skillset of your team so they can become more skilled and competent individually and as a whole. Gradually detach yourself from low-level tasks you might complete and delegate to others.

👉What do you think about these mindset blocks? Have you experienced them? Do you still have them? Comment below!

Einstein had great words for compound interest. Thanks Denise O'Reilly

Connecting you to Passive Income Opportunities through Alternative Investments in Multifamily & Senior Assisted Living, enabling you to Protect and Grow Your Wealth

The Magic ✨of COMPOUND INTEREST: The Eighth Wonder of the World 🙌 


Ever wondered why the wealthiest people 
rave about compound interest?

It's because it’s the secret ingredient 

that can turn modest investments 
into substantial wealth over time.


Compound interest is often called 
THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD.

Its ability to generate significant returns 

on reinvested earnings makes it a powerful 
tool for achieving financial freedom. 

By investing in assets like 

::: multifamily properties 
::: senior assisted living

you can harness this magic 
to secure your financial future.


1. Understanding Compound Interest

Compound interest means earning interest 

on both your initial investment
and the interest that accumulates over time. 

This creates a snowball effect
where your money grows faster 

as the interest compounds.


2. The Power of Early Investing

The earlier you start investing
the more time your money has to grow. 

Starting now, rather than later, 
maximizes the compounding effect.

Even small investments 
can grow significantly 

over a long period.


3. Multifamily Properties: A Smart Investment

Multifamily properties provide 

steady rental income 
and potential appreciation. 

The income generated can be reinvested

further enhancing your wealth 
through compounding.


4. Senior Assisted Living: A Growing Market

The demand for senior assisted living is rising 
due to an aging population. 

Investing in this market can provide 
high returns and a stable income

perfect for long-term growth.


5. Reinvesting Profits for Exponential Growth

Reinvesting the income from multifamily 
and senior living properties 

allows your investments to compound. 

This reinvestment strategy 
accelerates your wealth accumulation.


6. Mitigating Risk with Diversification

Investing in different types of properties
like multifamily and senior assisted living

diversifies your portfolio. 

This diversification reduces risk and enhances
the stability of your investment returns.


7. Financial Freedom through Compounding

The magic of compound interest
 lies in its exponential growth. 

Over time, the returns on your investments

 can lead to significant financial freedom
 providing a stable and growing income.
_____

One of the most important pieces of advice 

I share with my kids and 
I would have told my 18 year old self

 is: 

"Start investing early and take advantage
of compound interest. 

This will secure a prosperous future."

A Class does have the high earners. Now... is the KKR strategy well timed in the markets? Jay Parsons

Rental Housing Economist (Apartments, SFR), Speaker and Author

Well, it's finally official -- and it's yet another signal that investors aren't going to find newer vintage, well-located multifamily in the bargain bin.

KKR is buying 5,200 units from Lennar's Quarterra brand for $2.1 billion. Between this deal and Blackstone/AIR and other smaller acquisitions, it appears cap rates for Class A apartments are settling in the low 5% range.

KKR has publicly signaled its interests in multifamily for months, most notably with a research paper published in April that concluded 2024 marked a "once-in-a-decade opportunity" to "buy high-quality properties below replacement cost while achieving attractive long-term yields."

Are they right? Time will tell, but the big bet centers around themes I've written about extensively here: Demand tailwinds are firmly intact, while apartment supply is peaking now before dropping precipitously by 2H'2025 and into 2026-27 -- potentially ushering in a rebound if the economy remains in solid shape.

How do deals like this work in today's environment of higher interest rates and no/minimal rent growth? There were three key comments in KKR's April report that might shed some clues on KKR's strategy here:

1) Conviction/ability to underwrite short-term softness and retain flexibility on hold periods.

"Owners who can carry their investments through the next two years are poised to benefit from sustained structural demand and a pronounced shortage of new supply starting in 2026," KKR wrote in April.

2) Conviction on structural strength of demand fundamentals (and long-term outlook as supply drops off).

"The secular trend is toward more demand, not less" and "Performance has traditionally remained stable through economic cycles." (KKR)

3) More equity, less reliance on debt at today's higher rates.

"Scaled players will see opportunities first and have the freedom to deploy without much leverage, an essential component to success in this environment." (KKR)

We're still early in the new cycle here, but I think more of these types of deals are coming. There's capital willing to buy well-located Class A at these prices... and probably a lot more that would like to jump in, but need/want cap rates to jump another 50-100 bps.

🔶 Highest & Lowest Tax Burden by STATE 🔶 


Alright...

Who is paying the most in taxes
nationwide?

Where does your state rank?

WalletHub did a study in March 2024
based on:

-> property tax
-> individual income tax
-> sales & excise tax

Here we go:

Top 3 High-Tax States:

::: New York: 

Known for Broadway and the Statue of Liberty
also infamous for its high income taxes

especially in bustling NYC.

::: Hawaii: 

A paradise for beaches and luaus
but residents face high income tax rates 

due to its unique geographical challenges.

(ironically property tax alone in the Aloha state
is the lowest in the U.S. at only  ~0.32%!)

::: Vermont: 

Famous for its maple syrup 
and stunning landscapes

but also imposes high income tax rates 

compared to other states.


other high-tax states include:
Massachusetts, California & Connecticut


Top 3 Low-Tax States:

::: Alaska:

The Last Frontier offers scenic beauty 
and a low income tax burden

making it attractive for residents seeking tax relief.

::: New Hampshire: 

Known for its picturesque mountains
and lack of state income tax

drawing individuals looking to minimize their tax bills.

::: Wyoming: 

The Cowboy State with its wide-open spaces 
and no state income tax

making it a prime destination for those seeking tax savings.


other low tax states include: 
Delaware, South Dakota, Florida & Tennessee.

_____

▶ Tax-Saving Strategies:

• Real Estate:

Invest in property for depreciation deductions 
and potential rental income to offset taxes in high-tax states.

• Government Incentives: 

Explore Opportunity Zones or state-specific credits for tax advantages 
when investing in certain industries or locations.

• Residency Planning: 

Consider relocating to a low-tax states
to reduce your income tax burden significantly.

_____

By leveraging these strategies
you can navigate the tax landscape effectively 

while enjoying the unique benefits 
each state has to offer. 🙌

Would you move to another state to pay less in taxes?

Active listening is my superpower! Ernesto Romero and Alexander Ande

Director of Sales @ TEGNA | Top Voice | Lead Acquisition Expert | I help people & companies make more money | Follow me for daily posts on leadership and habits

Want to Be More Persuasive? Master This One EQ Technique.

It's called empathy, and it's the key to unlocking influence.

By understanding and acknowledging the emotions and perspectives of others, you build trust and rapport. This creates a foundation for effective communication and persuasion.

How to put empathy into practice:

↳ Active listening: Give your full attention to the other person, not just their words but also their body language and tone of voice.
↳ Reflecting back: Summarize what you've heard to ensure understanding and show that you're truly listening.
↳ Validating emotions: Acknowledge how the other person is feeling, even if you don't necessarily agree with their perspective.
↳ Finding common ground: Identify shared goals or values to build connection and cooperation.

Empathy isn't just about being nice. It's a strategic tool for achieving your objectives while building stronger relationships.

No one can underestimate the effect of Blackstone and KKR. Volume is already low in Dallas/ Fort Worth Texas market. Jay Parsons

Going into 2024, the consensus seemed to be moderately increasing deal flow in multifamily, partly based on the views that a) more distress would be forced to market and b) interest rates would decline. Neither has really happened yet, so apartment sales transactions (in terms of properties sold) are down to the lowest levels since 2012.

AND YET ... the buzz is that apartment brokers are seeing a big spike in BOVs (broker opinions of value) from owners contemplating potential sales, particularly as cap rates now appear to be stabilizing around the view that a) interest rates will eventually go down at lease moderately, b) demand fundamentals remain strong, c) rents will rebound once the current supply wave passes, and d) there's dry powder out there needing to deploy at some point.

What do you think? Will we finally see a spike in sales volumes during the second half of 2024? Will the Blackstone and KKR moves push more wanna-be buyers off the sidelines in coming months?

Are you an aspiring or a seasoned real estate investor? Either way, building networks and joining select communities can bond you to like-minded individuals. 



So, what's next?
✅ Seek out bi-directional mentoring from select mentors.
✅ Mentors must possess a proven track record. 
✅ Leverage the mentors/mentee relationship.
✅ Create time savings. 
 
 
 
Partners in Success: My real estate journey has definitely taught me the value of choosing partners wisely. I am meeting with two of mine to discuss a real estate case study video. 
 
 
 
Since I am in full process improvement mode, I'll be laying out our additional criteria to select future general partners. This way we can wisely select any future general partners on multifamily real estate properties. 
 
 
 
So where did we meet our current general partners? In the select communities we joined. We also created additional multifamily skills mastery together. Then we leveraged our mentor/mentee relationship and shaved years off our learning curve!

Thank you to Julie Roy and Rachel Supalla!  It was an honor to be a guest on Episode 15.

I am now on my 21st podcast guest appearance. Let's review a few tips promoting your personal brand. More tips to share? ⬇

Podcast appearances: A powerful tool to accelerate your personal brand! 
 
Do you know the secret to making yourself a sought-after guest on podcasts? Let me share some insights. 
 
1. Be an expert: Podcast hosts crave knowledgeable guests. Dig deep into your field and offer unique, insightful thoughts. I am a multifamily investor expert with over 9 years of experience and a portfolio of 18 multifamily properties. 
    
2. Be engaging: Podcasts are entertainment. Bring energy and enthusiasm to hook listeners' attention.  I offer some original thoughts on each podcast. 
 
3. Be promotable: Have a compelling story or message that hosts can easily promote. I have a Speaker Kit that contains my life before investing and my multifamily journey.  Do you have a Speaker Kit? 
 
Here's an example from personal experience - I have a stage broker and I'm in both RaiseMasters and Millionaire Multifamily Mastermind. My podcasters also refer me to other podcasters as an expert guest.  That's at least four sources of referrals.  I'm now on my 16th podcast!  
 
One of those 16 podcasts, The Real Estate Investing Club, has over 450 Episodes.  The Host is Gabe Petersen. 
 
On my latest podcast, The Apartment Gurus with host Tate Siemer, we discussed Capital Calls.  This was a topic for an expert.  I could talk from experience about that challenging topic.  Tate was excited to promote the topic and me on the podcast. 
 
Remember, your goal is to add value to the podcast and its audience. Frequency of appearances comes naturally from being expertly engaging and promotable.  Also, ask for guest appearance opportunities.  Never stop asking!
