You Just Bought Real Estate, Now What? - EP.39

You Just Bought Real Estate, Now What? - EP.39

Author: Brad Johnson March 14, 2019 Duration: 24:55

We’ve spent a lot of time on this podcast telling you how to find alternative investments — how to buy them, how to raise money for them, and more — but we haven’t talked a lot about what to do after you close. 


It’s really no exaggeration to say that a lot of stuff happens after closing — so today, we’re going to get into everything you need to know about what happens after you buy a real estate property! We talk property managers, important steps to take before closing, what you should do immediately after closing, how to go about improving or changing up things in the property, how quickly you should roll out these changes, and more. We hope you’ll join us!


Key Takeaways:

For those looking beyond the ticker symbols, The Alternative Investor explores the tangible and often complex world of assets that don't trade on a public exchange. Host Brad Johnson, drawing from his experience at Evergreen Capital, believes a well-rounded portfolio often exists outside the daily noise of the stock market. This podcast digs into the practicalities of private equity, real estate, venture capital, and other non-traditional avenues. While these opportunities can offer different paths to growth, they come with their own unique set of questions and due diligence. Each conversation is geared towards demystifying that process. You'll hear detailed discussions on how these investments actually work, the structures involved, and the long-term mindset they require. The aim isn't to offer quick tips, but to provide a clearer framework for evaluation. Johnson breaks down real-world cases and strategies, focusing on the critical factors that can influence an outcome. It’s a resource for anyone considering how to allocate capital towards assets that aren’t as easily quoted or sold, with the understanding that higher potential returns often walk hand-in-hand with increased complexity. Tune in for a straightforward take on building resilience and potential through alternative holdings.
