Wheelbarrow Profits Podcast: Multifamily Real Estate Investment

Mike Taravella and Will Coleman look back at 2020 with Jake Stenziano, Gino Barbaro, and Bill Ham of Jake and Gino Multifamily Real Estate Education. Key Information: Lessons Learned: Don’t have a knee jerk reaction to fear in the market. Reserves can be necessary not only for capital improvements but also economic downturns. Reach out to your tenants early and establish positive relationships with them when there is uncertainty about collections.  How to know if you are at the top of the market cycle: Deals only work with heavy IO periods. New and inexperienced investors are entering the market. Cap rates are highly compressed.             As cap rates continue to compress, institutional investors are overlooking smaller unit properties in tertiary markets. Real estate is in many ways the new gold. It is being used as an investment to hedge against rising inflation.

In this week’s episode, Julia & Gino are interviewed by their niece Emily & their daughter Gabriella. At first, I was unsure of where these questions were going to take us? Would I sound stupid? Did I really know my spouse? Were some of the questions going to make me feel uncomfortable? The girls did a terrific job asking questions about our relationship, our strengths & weaknesses, who was a better cook (tough one), and questions that made us really think about our past and how we have grown since getting married. Emily summed it up perfectly at the end by stating that what she learned was that we grew in our marriage and relationship since tying the knot over twenty years ago. Our lives have become more intertwined and so have our experiences, and that we are learning more and more about ourselves every day. To me, that is what makes a successful marriage, one that the spouses continue to grow closer together. I want to thank the girls for making me realize how lucky I am and how much I love my

Mike Taravella and Will Coleman explain what you need to know about supplemental loans. Key Information: Before underwriting your financing assumptions, speak to the lender of the senior loan to determine what terms and conditions are possible for the new loan. Lenders require at least 12 months to pass before you are eligible to apply for a supplemental loan.  For supplemental loans, most lenders will not exceed the LTV on the original loan. Ask your lender whether this is something they would consider. Some banks will do this if they feel comfortable with the sponsor. Minimum Supplemental Loan Amounts:  Fannie Mae: $500,000 Freddie Mac: $1,000,000 Community Banks: $750,000 Regular loans cost the same as supplemental loans to service: legal fees, third party reports, origination fees etc,.  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require the same principal and interest reserves for supplemental loans as they do for regular loans.

Mike Taravella and Will Coleman explain what you need to know about loan assumptions. Key Information: Yield Maintenance prepayment penalties are more expensive than step down prepayment penalties. The lower the U.S. Treasury rates, the more the expensive the prepayment penalty is for yield maintenance loans.  Before getting a property under contract, contact the originator of the senior loan to verify the terms and conditions. Terms to verify: LTV, maturity date, interest only period, DSCR requirements, replacement reserves. Loan assumptions take longer to close than new debt. 75 days is a good estimate.  Supplemental loans can be used in addition to loan assumptions to gain a higher LTV. Available terms will vary depending on the property and the borrower.
