Thought I was going to finish 2020 empty handed, tough real estate market out here.
Managed to snag a great deal at the last minute and wanted to share the details.
Here’s how I analyze multifamily real estate investment opportunities 👇

During the inspection, did a full walk through with a trusted contractor (worked with for years), receiving quotes unit-by-unit.
Estimated time to complete = 4-6 months.
Since I know the area very well, I can estimate rents and opex with great accuracy (I have another property within 15 mins walking distance).
Tenants are responsible for hydro/gas.
I look for yield above 15%, cash on cash above 7% and debt service above 1.5.
As you can see, the numbers check out.
This would improve all of my metrics. But even if it isn’t feasible, the base case is good enough for my criteria.
But if cap rates on stabilized properties remain around the current 3.5% to 4% range, the property could be worth $1.56m to $1.78m.

Introducing "The Balloon Effect"
Many businesses & creators have experienced a similar pattern of success.
From @MrBeastYT and @MorningBrew to @oatly and @Rovio.
Let's break down what "The Balloon Effect" is and examples of it in real life.
Keep reading 👇
1/ What is "The Balloon Effect"?
It is a particular pattern of growth.
It is not Instagram's growth trajectory.
It is not https://t.co/5axsTUKek6's growth trajectory.
"The Balloon Effect" is defined by several years of hard work & grit complemented by slow, linear growth.
2/ And then one day, one month, or one quarter...everything changes.
A business hits a tipping point and its trajectory shifts entirely.
Gradual growth turns to exponential growth & your brand and your size explode.
Like a step function.
3/ Now, you're probably wondering.
Why is it called "The Balloon Effect"?
Because filling/popping a water balloon follows the exact pattern I just described (and so many businesses experience).
Long unsexy slog 👉 Exponential tipping point.
4/ Initially, you turn on the faucet & water takes up space in the empty balloon.
Through effort you open the faucet, yet the results are unexciting.
But it's what must be done for water (or growth) to happen at all.
It's not sexy, but it's necessary.
