125 Tips for Cash Flow Part 3 — Financing, Loan Docs, Raising Money, Private Equity & Live Q&A

125 Tips for Cash Flow Part 3 — Financing, Loan Docs, Raising Money, Private Equity & Live Q&A

Author: Mark & Tamiel Kenney January 26, 2023 Duration: 20:44

This is the final installment of the 125 Tips series — and it's where Mark Kenney gets the most candid, including a live Q&A where the real questions finally get real answers.

Financing requirements, loan doc red flags, why private equity is a last resort, actual deal performance across 100+ deals, and whether you should still be buying right now.

In this episode you will learn:

• The lender requirements most investors underestimate — net worth, liquidity, and the lender red flags that can kill deals quietly

• What passive investors must read in loan docs before they write a check — and the worst-case scenario they need to understand

• Why private equity is Mark's last resort — and why he hasn't done a single PE deal without a re-trade, including one on the day of closing

• How Think Multifamily's deals have actually performed — the honest answer on IRR, total returns, and the one deal that went badly

• Whether you should still be buying in today's market — and the rate cap strategy that makes it defensible

• The three skills Mark says determine success in multifamily — his closing answer

This is Part 3 of a three-part series. Listen to Episodes 132 and 133 first.
