The Easy Win AI Real Estate Show

With the stock market in retreat in 2022, the concept of a bear market has been very much on the minds of investors. While a bear market in equities is well defined, the concept is not so clear for commercial real estate. In fact, the phrase ‘bear market’ is not typically used to describe a decrease in commercial real estate values. Investors more commonly refer to a ‘downturn’ in property values, or to the end of a real estate bubble.

In this podcast with Paul Fiorilla and the article on the podcast page here, learn more about rea estate bear markets.

My YouTube show/podcast guest today is Andrew Cushman, founder and principal of Vantage Point Acquisitions, who shares his experience and insights on remote management of multifamily real estate assets from the other side of the country, discussing the challenges and strategies for successful long-distance investing.

We discuss the current state of the multifamily market and how rising interest rates have impacted prudent sponsors’ ability to acquire new properties. Andrew talks about the spread between what sellers are asking and what buyers are bidding, and discusses the various factors that may lead to a surge in properties coming to market in the near future.

Andrew also shares his philosophy on optimal deal sizes for efficient management, revealing the "sweet spots" at 120 and 220 units where fixed costs can be spread most effectively. He explains how his company has adapted to the changing market conditions and maintained strong performance despite challenges such as rising insurance costs.

As an active LinkedIn user, Andrew also provides insights into his content strategy and the types of posts that tend to generate the most engagement. From market analysis to the realities of property management, he aims to share valuable information and connect with his audience.

My guest today is Aleksey Chernobelskiy who is principal at Centrio Capital Partners. Aleksey helps Limited Partners (passive investors in real estate syndications – aka ‘LP’s’) with existing and future investments, writing tips, and advising or providing educational content to help them navigate the current market, as well as make decisions on how to act and what to look for as they consider investment opportunities going forward.

Aleksey is a prolific writer. His background includes having run a $10 billion commercial real estate portfolio and he has a quadruple major, (gasp), from the University of Arizona in finance, mathematics, economics and accounting.

The insights he shares in today’s show are largely based on conversations that he has been having with LP’s who are facing issues with some of the deals that they've invested with and who are seeking guidance. He also offers independent third party counsel on how investors should be thinking about the commercial real estate environment in 2024.

Aleksey and I explore the essential aspects of LP investments, focusing on both the opportunities they present and the pitfalls that uninformed investors might encounter. We discuss how LP’s’ lack of knowledge can lead to avoidable mistakes and heightened risks, plus we talk about capital calls dynamics, managing investment dilution, and making informed decisions during a capital call.

Our conversation today provides invaluable guidance for LP’s looking to successfully make their way through the often complex world of real estate syndication, particularly during a downturn, while also providing a roadmap for comprehending the terms and status of an investments before contributing additional money during a capital call.

Watch this episode to learn from Aleksey Chernobelskiy's extensive experience in LP investments. Learn about his approach to tackling the intricacies associated with these types of investments, his tips on risk management, insights on maintaining an informed perspective throughout your investment journey, and his advice on leveraging knowledge to make sound investment decisions.
