Stone-Cold, Hard Real Estate Lessons

By

A Disaster of a Deal to Avoid

by Bruce Kellogg

One of the best ways to learn how to profit as a real estate investor is to learn from the mistakes of others. There isn’t a more affordable way to learn this business. We hope the following insight will help readers benefit from their future transactions.

Introduction

This is the story of the property in Fig. 1, which is a 3,800 square foot Victorian house that was built in 1898 ( i.e., age 120). Some years ago, it was converted into five studios and three 1-bedroom apartment units. The purpose of this story is to illustrate many lessons that can be learned about rehab, “flipping”, and syndication.

History

The property was owned by a woman who lived outside the country, an “absentee owner”. She “milked” the property for the cash flow, allowing maintenance to be deferred, and keeping rents low to sustain a steady occupancy. The management company performed to her low standards.

Along Comes “Frank” (pseudonym)

Frank was a newly-minted “real estate entrepreneur”, who had recently completed training in “Apartment Rehab and Re-positioning” by a national trainer. Being a bright fellow and a smooth talker, Frank decided to form a syndication to raise the money needed. He didn’t have any money of his own. (Actually, he was living with relatives!)

The Syndication

According to title records, Frank raised nearly $600,000 from six partners in a Limited-Liability Company (LLC) structure. He gave each partner a security interest in a deed-of-trust that was secondary to a private first loan of $465,000 from a group of dentists who owned “Novocaine LLC”. Frank didn’t care if his partners were “accredited” or not, as long as he got the money for the project.

The Purchase

An LLC, Frank’s investment vehicle, paid $775,000 for the property. (He thought he “stole” it since the per-unit cost was quite low in this particular market. Actually, counting the deferred-maintenance, Frank had overpaid!) With the loan from the dentists, Frank’s partners put in $310,000 plus closing costs. They had a little under $300,000 left for rehab and holding costs.

The “Rehab”

At first glance, the rehab was fairly thorough. New composition roof, laminate and vinyl floors, tile kitchens and showers, new kitchen cabinets and vanities, new vinyl windows, new stoves and refrigerators, new interior and exterior paint. Frank said he spent $200,000 on seven units. For some reason, one unit was not done. (Did Frank run out of money, and the partners said, “NO MORE”?)

On second glance, not so great. Three years on, the cheap/thin laminate floors are peeling. Frank replaced three gorgeous stained-glass windows with cheap imports. (Fig. 2 is one that survived.) The stoves and refrigerators are “discounted/blemished” with some of the blemishes obvious. (The national trainer probably taught Frank this “money-saver”.) The exterior was pressure washed before spraying on the cheap paint, but not scraped or caulked at openings, so it’s looking ragged now.

Selling the “Flip”

All of the tenants were either helped to vacate or offered a rehabilitated unit at about 40% more rent. (That’s how apartment “turnarounds” are done!) Frank listed the apartments for sale for $1.5 million. There were a few showings, but only after the price was reduced below $1.4 million did it go under contract. Even then, two parties backed out based on discouraging inspection reports.

Frank hired a new broker who worked “high-end” homes rather than apartments, and Frank did not have the new broker give the prior inspection reports to the buyers (which is legally required). For some reason the final buyers were not made aware of:

  1. low water pressure (old, clogged pipes)
  2. inadequate electric service
  3. crumbling masonry foundation (not concrete)
  4. termites, wood-eating beetles
  5. dry rot and fungus damage at kitchens and baths
  6. faulty exterior drainage system (basement floods in the rain).                                                                                                                             But the broker made a commission of over $50,000 on the $1.3+ million sale!
Fig. 3

The Current Situation

The present owners are still using the same property manager as the overseas woman, the manager with the low standards. Recently, the owners decided to replace the masonry foundation with a concrete perimeter foundation. They hired a state-licensed contractor, who started work. However, probably to save time and money, neither the manager nor the licensed contractor obtained a permit for the new foundation. Someone, a neighbor probably, complained to Code Enforcement, who issued a “Stop Work Notice”. Fig. 3 shows the boarded-up foundation going into its fourth month.

Additionally, Code Enforcement has “red tagged” the unit that had not been rehabbed. It cannot be rented. Management has removed the range and refrigerator, indicating the unit has been abandoned for the time being.

Conclusions

  • Frank lost money.
  • Frank’s partners lost money
  • Frank has left town
  • The present owners are going to lose lots of money
  • The contractor’s license is in jeopardy for not getting a permit
  • The owners will likely sue the manager, the contractor, and their broker
  • The broker and the property manager could face disciplinary action by the Bureau of Real Estate

List of Lessons – Learn From this Deal

  • Don’t try to flip a 120 year-old Victorian (unless that’s your specialty)!
  • Hire only top-quality property managers (and pay them well).
  • Invest only with experienced syndicators with a proven “track record” and plenty of “means” behind them.
  • Borrow only from “accredited” investors, or those who know you.
  • When buying at a discount, make sure it’s a genuine discount. Corollary: Don’t fall in love with the “opportunity”.
  • Rehab with quality materials and workmanship.
  • When buying or selling, use brokers or agents with the appropriate specialty.
  • Invest in all appropriate inspection reports when buying.
  • Obtain permits for all construction work/repairs where permits are required.

Investing in Cash Flow – Doing Well by Doing Good

Topstone Investment, LLC (“Topstone”) started in 2013 with two clear objectives – Do Well by Doing Good. At the core of our operations are the values associated with “social investing’. To us, it is more than simply ROI, it is a holistic approach to solving and tackling issues often encountered in the inner city.

The company’s founders found a niche in buying, rehabbing and renting out Section 8 Properties in the Midwest (Kansas City, MO and Saint Louis, MO) markets. Since 2013 the company has acquired over 310 single family residences and rehabbed many to provide the residents with a clean, safe, upgraded home that they can live in. Topstone has acquired a large volume of homes such that certain neighborhoods have improved significantly. Residents are thrilled to be living in a ‘new, fixed up home’ where the property management team actually listens to them.

We work closely with the local Section 8 Housing Authorities to provide families with homes in which the residents can safely raise their families. In return, we have had very low turn over compared to other Section 8 operators and that in turn results in greater cash flow for our company and our investors.

Since 2013, Topstone has expanded into several new markets and has built a ‘local team’ in each of the new markets. We currently offer investment opportunities to investors that are looking for solid passive returns on their funds.

Andrew Chiu: President and Co-Founder

Andrew Chiu is one of Topstone’s original founders and the President of the company. He always seeks to maximize improvement in human and environmental well-being regardless of the company he leads or industry he revolutionizes.

Mr. Chiu is a serial entrepreneur and has a successful 20-year track record with new business ventures.

Mr. Chiu holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information System.

Network with Kent Mak – Co-Founder and VP of Business Development

Kent Mak is one of Topstone’s original founders and is in charge of acquisitions and logistics to manage hundreds of properties in multiple markets simultaneously. He has nearly 20 years of experience with affordable/low income housing in Midwestern markets.

Over time Mr. Mak and his management teams have “cracked the code” to large scale scattered site redevelopment in blighted areas, providing affordable housing and recycling properties in neighborhoods that were cast aside. Through experience with scalability and developing best practices, Mr. Mak and his teams have been able to generate higher than average returns in investment portfolios generally avoided by investors with less operational expertise in markets such as Sacramento, Phoenix, Kansas City, Tulsa, San Antonio and many other markets.

In addition to spending many years working with affordable housing and student housing, Kent has developed supply chains to directly import construction materials directly from China to lower construction costs on large scale projects.

Mr. Mak’s rehab projects were featured in a Showcase of Homes program by the City of Tulsa in 2006-2007 as his teams fought to eradicate blight and provide affordable housing to area residents.

Here is more information about FOREX from Investopedia:

What Is Forex?

The foreign exchange market is the “place” where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can’t pay in euros to see the pyramids because it’s not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.

The need to exchange currencies is the primary reason why the forex market is the largest, most liquid financial market in the world. It dwarfs other markets in size, even the stock market, with an average traded value of around U.S. $2,000 billion per day. (The total volume changes all the time, but as of August 2012, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) reported that the forex market traded in excess of U.S. $4.9 trillion per day.)

One unique aspect of this international market is that there is no central marketplace for foreign exchange. Rather, currency trading is conducted electronically over-the-counter (OTC), which means that all transactions occur via computer networks between traders around the world, rather than on one centralized exchange. The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney – across almost every time zone. This means that when the trading day in the U.S. ends, the forex market begins anew in Tokyo and Hong Kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time of the day, with price quotes changing constantly.

Live Free, Have FUN with MULTIFAMILY Income – The Amazing Story Behind Brad & Jennifer Sumrok’s Real Estate Success

By

The World is Your Oyster

Brad and Jennifer Sumrok are always on the go: From traveling around the world, to teaching students nationally and having homes in two states. We caught up with Brad one recent afternoon as his wife prepared some healthy shakes in the background. The financially independent couple were getting ready to take off to Hong Kong and Thailand for a 24-day birthday getaway.

The Sumroks have a second home in the sunny Gulf Coast of Florida, but say they get away internationally at least two times each year. Recently that includes destinations like Italy, Costa Rica, and Machu Picchu in Peru.

Though Brad says one of his most memorable excursions was taking his dad on his dream vacation — a 13-day cruise and land exploration of Alaska, for his 80th birthday. On another occasion Brad took off to live in Mexico for six weeks to immerse himself in the culture and learn Spanish.

The Keys to Freedom

For the Sumroks, financial freedom came from investing in Multifamily real estate. Brad says that in 2003 he found a mentor who taught him about real estate and financial independence. In under three years, Brad replaced his six-figure corporate income and put $1M in his pocket from his investments and quit his job. He was just 38 years old. What do you do when you don’t have to work to survive anymore, especially starting at such a young age?

While you’ll find Brad Sumrok’s popular Facebook profile rich in travel pics, workout videos, and his investment properties, Brad says that he really found his gift in teaching others how to master investing in apartment buildings for passive income.

Although he had rarely spoken on stage prior to getting into real estate he says “when you are led to something, when you are living in your passion, and area of mastery, you are not really working.” Adding that what he does now is simply “sharing life experience and transferring that mastery,” to his students.

Apartment Investor Mastery

Brad Sumrok currently hosts three weekend training events in Texas each year. These March, July, and November events attract hundreds of attendees from all over the United States, and beyond. Over 400 guests visited the March 2017 weekend, which combines live training and loading up in buses to get out and look at active multifamily property deals.

As of early 2017, Mr. Sumrok personally owned property in five states, and six different property markets. In the last year his students acquired 29 multifamily complexes, in 11 markets, totaling 2,885 units, worth $133M.

Brad says there are three main types of attendees at his events. This includes: active single-family home investors who are feeling the pain of daily management and trying to scale, and passive investors who have capital to work with and want hands-free, cash-flowing opportunities. Or like him in 2002 — the educated corporate workers who may have some savings, but have never been taught about being an investor or business owner, and who may want to skip over single-family investing and start immediately as a multifamily investor, either buying large deals as a Syndicator or smaller deals with their own money.

While his weekend training events are held in Texas, the strategies taught there can be applied anywhere in the US, as demonstrated by many of Brad’s students and Brad himself who buy in different US markets. Brad says that while he enjoys world travel he believes success comes when you “invest in what you know, and where you know,” and that area of mastery for this educator is in US apartment buildings.

While this may sound complicated or a big move to make, attendees love Brad’s ability to break it down and make it simple. For those who can commit a few hours per week, achieving their own financial freedom can be a realistic and attainable goal as well.

Enriching People, Changing Many Lives

Those interested in finding out more about Brad and his events can do so online at ApartmentInvestorMastery.com or BradSumrok.com. Then it’s up to each individual and family to decide how they will flex their freedom. For the Sumroks, it isn’t just travel and education, but also increasingly enriching others’ lives.

Recently that has included help- ing family members realize their dreams, charitable contributions for back to school drives, and organizing and matching charitable donations and GoFundMe campaigns for local people such as those who need critical surgeries, but lack the funds. What will you do with your freedom?
