Ep#68 Insider Secrets Passive Investors Need to Know

Author: James Kandasamy August 24, 2020 Duration: 41:57

Passive investing in commercial real estate has increased in popularity, especially over the last decade. At the same time, the knowledge surrounding the space has not grown as quickly as the popularity for the investments has. This can be a cause for concern, as investing without prudent strategies is a great way to lose a considerable amount of money.


Today we are going to discuss...

  • Whether your cash flows are being counted as a return of capital or return on capital
  • Where we get accurate underwriting standards if 98% of broker's opinions are useless
  • If you are going to close 5 deals, whether that means you should underwrite 100 or not

James Kandasamy hosts Achieve Wealth Through Value Add Real Estate Investing Podcast, a resource dedicated to the nuanced world of commercial property investment. The focus here is squarely on the "value-add" strategy-a hands-on approach to identifying underperforming assets, implementing physical or operational improvements, and unlocking their true financial potential. Whether you're an active investor looking to manage projects directly or someone seeking passive opportunities through syndications and funds, this podcast breaks down the process into actionable insights. Episodes delve into market analysis, deal structuring, asset management, and risk mitigation, all through conversations with experienced operators and deep dives into real-world case studies. It’s a straightforward guide for building tangible wealth, moving beyond theory to discuss the practical steps and critical decisions that define success in this asset class. Tune in for a clear-eyed perspective on transforming properties and portfolios alike.
