Ep. 206 Colin Murphy: Personal Perspective on Single Family Investing during COVID19

Personal Perspective on Single Family Investing during COVID19

Today we talk with Colin Murphy about how the COVID19 crisis is affecting the single family market. Colin is active in the affordable single family home market ($150k-$180k concrete block homes) and they have been remarkably resilient which means he hasn’t seen many discounted prices or special deals as a result of COVID19.

At least in the near future, Colin doesn’t think we will see a wave of short sales or foreclosures. Some of the reasons for this are that banks aren’t giving out the bad loans now that they were giving out 12 years ago. Also, a record number of home owners have refinanced which has given them additional cash flow to weather a storm. There is just not as many distressed homes on the market to get a discounted price or deals. This can all change, however, as real estate is a lagging indicator and is a couple of months behind the wider economy.

Lessons for a Single Family Home Portfolio

Joe Turney had worked for 20 years in computer software which gave him a great income, but very little retirement and wealth. Between 2005-2010 he had several close people pass away including his dad, and it was then he started realizing he was trading his life for dollars. He decided he wasn’t going to do that anymore and he wanted out of the corporate rat race, the commuting, and the alarm clocks. 

Joe wanted a lifestyle with more freedom. He asked several people with that lifestyle what they did and they all said “real estate.” He decided to go into real estate and taught himself the ropes by reading, taking online courses, and just doing.

Joe’s advice is to just get out, take action, and be willing to make mistakes. Join us for this podcast as Joe takes us on his personal journey of his life-style changing path into real estate.

Ep. 174 Frankie Herrera: Real Estate Success through Listening and Solving Problems

Don’t miss a single show!

Get the Invest Florida Show Mobile App! Click here—-> Apple Android

 Listening vs Talking

When people do business, they are usually always talking and selling. Frankie Herrera, however, takes the opposite approach. Frankie’s strategy is to get in front of the investors and listen in order to understand the problem and then provide a solution that’s mutually beneficial.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE Q&A:

[13:55] Does Frankie have a specific formula to determine if the property is a good investment?

Frankie does not have a specific formula but instead looks at the big picture. Ultimately, it just has to make sense. Frankie likes to physically be there to see the property and the surrounding area to get a gut feeling as well as to see what the comps are saying.

[18:05] How does Frankie find the people he can help?

In 2014 he bought into a franchise called HomeVestors.  For advertising, they do mass mail marketing, TV spots, billboards, and pay-per-click — all on a very large schedule. There are 34 local franchises, and they pool their money together to be the “100 pound gorilla” in the room.

[24:05] How does Frankie acquire capital?

Frankie maintains very clean and understandable books/financials so that banks can look and easily see it’s a good investment. This really helps to get good size lines of credit. They leverage those lines of credit as well as their own money from their property management company.

[30:30] How is the market right now?

It’s hard to read the market so they do a lot of testing. They buy a lot of property and throw it out there wholesale to see how the investors are doing.

[33:20] Any advice for Newbies?

Pay attention and listen to absolutely everything that’s out there. Try to stay in a relatively safe place. Don’t feel like you have to shoot for a home run on your first one. Start hitting singles. Singles turn into doubles and triples, and then your home runs will come. Focus on one thing at a time. Be careful of the amount you will improve a property. You will not be living there, so don’t get wrapped up in too many improvements. Don’t over-improve the property.

Northeast Florida is one of the state’s strongest real estate markets. With robust investment opportunity across various asset classes and consistent post-recession growth, the northeast region remains popular among investors. The Jacksonville single family market in particular has seen phenomenal growth and promise over the past several years.

Although the single family market has slowed somewhat throughout the state, strong economic drivers and steady population growth continue to foster investment demand. It may require some creativity and a little extra elbow grease in finding deals, Jacksonville remains fertile ground for single family investors.

Ep. 153 John Schaub: Earning Long Term Cashflow Through Single Family Tenants

When you’re a single-family real estate investor, there comes a time when you need to start thinking about scaling your investing. The question at that point is whether to scale through a transition to other asset classes or continue to scale through single-family investments. While some investors find commercial and multifamily assets to jibe with their investment strategy, you may find that you can still build your SFR portfolio while earning long term cashflow through single family tenants.

Single family properties may not seem like the most direct path to your investment goals, but an investment strategy focused on earning cashflow through long term single tenants can prove to be successful.

Earning Long Term Cashflow Through Single Family Tenants

single family tenantsJust ask John Schaub. John is an active single family investor, landlord and author in Sarasota, FL

Getting his start in real estate as a broker, John initially subscribed to the notion that – in order to generate true wealth as a real estate investor – he would have to invest in commercial and multifamily properties. However, he soon found that these types of properties demanded a lot more work to maintain cashflow.

This episode, John talks the merit of single family properties as a way to earn long term cashflow. He discusses how stable, long term single family tenants can offer a (relatively) stress-free investment strategy.
