I grew up down there in Grapevine and I remember when Keller was nothing but country. Cow pastures and woods... crazy how things change...
Christian: SOLID FOR REAL
I have to give credit where credit is due... It's said respect is to be given and trust is to be earned. I have to say that Christian has both from me. Here's why: I got out of prison last year after a 5 year stretch. I had to start a few months ago literally from square one. Credit score thrashed, bank accounts empty, no family left or support system, no vehicle, my business gone and the only place I could go was a sober living house in a town where I knew nobody. Eight months later, being completely dedicated to bettering my position, I've now overcome the biggest obstacles of starting all over. I've gotten my own place, vehicle, 680 credit, a little money and I'm building a solid network of quality people. And I make the decision to buy a multi family property and start a sober living facility of my own. This is how I ran across Christian and MFS... When I did the zoom meeting and was given the rundown on the program, I wanted to do it but I had to say, "Well I'll have to think it over," knowing I simply didn't have 10 grand to invest into it. A couple days I told them I couldn't do it because of my financial situation. A few minutes later Christian texts me and says he's got a way to make this happen. Instead of 10k upfront, what can you afford right now? I told him I could do $100/wk. He said let's get you started for $100/mo. And when you're able to, then pay more...so I signed up. Well yesterday, I check my bank app at lunch time, and it's in the negative because $1500 had been taken out by MFS. I freaked out. All my bills due. So, I call Christian...he told me not to worry, that every once in a while some billing error might occur and he'd get it figured out. And I gotta say, by 7 o'clock last night he texts me back and says he's got it taken care of. Check your email and there's a refund receipt. And sure enough there it was. That's integrity, that's customer service, that's solid business. So I just wanted to say again Christian, thanks man. I've gotten a ton of value out of this program in a short period of time. I've been here less than a month and I'm getting ready to get a PSA signed on a 5 unit property. Which I think is amazing, but even more so, the way that I've treated by Christian and this community is amazing.

@Sheila Tepley I certainly appreciate your energy and your encouragement. And yeah, things are starting to come together. I have been talking to some people who are invested in a fund for social impact projects. And when I told them about the deal being negotiated, they asked if I had would consider a JV equity partnership. And honestly, I'm thinking that may be the way to go on this first one. It would be much simpler than having to deal with a bank and private debt, and a seller second. I've put together a pretty solid term sheet that I'm going to send in the morning and see what kind of a response I get. I am really having to concentrate on being patient right now...

@Jayson Ewer thanks man. I kind of bungled it really. I got off talking about the project instead of the deal. And when Christian told me to get back on track...I got in my head and the nerves kicked in and I didn't really get back to making any points I needed to or asking the questions I had intended. The mind is an excellent servant but a terrible master... And that's really my main hurdle with this whole thing. I don't have confidence in this arena yet. I just have to keep practicing and talking shop with people who are more experienced than me .
Hello y'all!
My name is Chad. I'm definitely stoked on being a part of this community. I'm new to multi family properties. I have some experience doing land deals. I take action and I'm here to get the roadmap so those actions are as effective and efficient as possible.

Network. Network. Network. Building valuable relationships is absolutely critical, not just in this business, but in life. My investor list includes 2 guys I used to work with and have become friends with over the years. The bottom line is everyone wants to make money, so if you can put together a solid deal and effectively and efficiently communicate to someone how it's going to make them money... you're in there. The key is networking in the circles where people have money.

@Sylvie Henry Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate you saying that. I haven't reached out to the SBA yet; reason being, I used to own a construction company in Tulsa and I tried to get SBA funding early on in that venture. It just didn't work out, they were requiring 24 months of verifiable income and a very high business credit score to meet requirements. The SBA wasn't the actual lender, just an intermediary. By the time my company met the requirements I didn't need to borrow money anymore. But maybe the rules are different now and maybe different for a nonprofit. There's a lot of money available out there for projects like this, I just have been so busy trying to get this real estate deal done, doing all the legal and administrative structuring, securing partnerships and creating a digital footprint that I haven't had time to start reaching out to these organizations. I have a very strong and marketable business plan so I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what I can see. Thanks again!
Cap rate vs Gross Multiplier
I posted something about this subject before but did not get any replies. If you use cap rate on your multi-family, what is a good cap rate in your mind? If you use gross multiplier, what is a good number for you?

The confusion is coming from cap rate on single family properties and multi family properties are completely opposite. Lower cap rate in multifamily means less ROI. Lower cap rate in single family means higher property value.

The risk assessment aspect comes from: higher cap rate in single family riskier because there's only one renter. Higher cap rate in multi family, not as risky due to the mitigation of risk through many renters.
DUE DILIGENCE SAVED US: The Unit They Didn’t Want Us to See
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in multifamily: sellers and property management won’t always volunteer the full story. We had a deal under contract. During the walk, we found a unit that was completely destroyed — vandalized, burned, everything you could do to a unit had been done. What stood out wasn’t just the damage. It was that it wasn’t disclosed, and property management tried to keep us from going into that unit. That’s why due diligence matters. Not because you’re trying to kill a deal, but because you’re protecting your investors and your downside. My takeaway: If they don’t want to show it, it’s probably important. What’s the biggest red flag you’ve seen during a property walk?

I'm looking a small 4 unit apartment building right now and when I tried to pull the title, it wasn't anywhere on the assessor's website. After some digging I found out that it has a redemption deed from the last sale. It turns out that the property was redeemed before it went to tax sale so chain of title remained in tact. But it could have been a real nightmare
