There Are Good Deals In "Bad Markets." There Are Good Deals In "Bad Cities." There Are Good Deals At All Times.

Drew Breneman — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 08:00:00 -0500

Is now a good time to invest?

It’s easy to make excuses.

- “Interest rates are high.”

- “The market is tough.”

- “We’re facing a recession.”

Sure, it’s a challenging market to buy in.

But that means it might be easier to get a broker’s attention.

It might be easier to find deals with less competition.

It might be easier to be taken seriously.

Are you going to need to comb through more deals?

Yes.

Does that mean good deals don’t exist?

No.

- There are good deals in bad markets.

- There are good deals in bad cities.

- There are good deals at all times.

Mike Hennig, Active Real Estate Investor With A Full-Time W2 Job

Drew Breneman — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0500

Buying a house could be a daunting and truly an intimidating pursuit… But if others can do it, so can you.

This is one of my most favorite parts of my conversation with Mike Hennig more than a year ago, which I’m very excited to bring back today. Mike’s insights have been truly impactful to me, and I believe they deserve the spotlight once more.

Mike Hennig has dabbled in real estate investing on a part-time basis since 2007. However, his real estate portfolio defies the notion of part-time, as he possesses a substantial 96-unit property portfolio spread across 15 different locations in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, totaling nearly $10 million in real estate value.

Over the past six years, Mike has been employed as a management consultant at Gallup Inc. and, prior to that, served as an executive at a trading firm situated in the Chicago Board of Trade. Although these roles have no direct connection to the real estate industry, they have generated income that Mike cleverly redirected into his real estate investment endeavors.

He methodically constructed his impressive portfolio while balancing a full-time job unrelated to real estate. In this episode, Mike generously imparts valuable insights, strategies, and advice to assist you in achieving similar success in your personal real estate investment journey.

Notable Takeaways from the Episode:

10:36 First buy story and FHA Loan

13:13 Common problems with college renters

15:51 Best books to get you started in RE

17:09 Common challenges to your first deal

22:32 Growing in RE while working a day job

28:54 Bringing in a partner to expand in the early days

36:55 Inspiration from Bigger Pockets podcast

37:20 First multifamily deal + navigating multifamily lending

42:24 Flipping houses to build capital

49:28 Distributing quarterly distributions to investors

52:32 Benefits of passive investing over other business and investment types

56:43 Tips for investing in real estate while working a full-time job

Conversation on Socioeconomic Indicators Driving US Metro Growth, Dom Scafidi

Drew Breneman — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Dom Scafidi, Marketing Manager at Breneman Capital (formerly Rise Invest), joins Drew on the podcast to discuss socioeconomic indicators that drive US metro growth.

Classic indicators of regional market growth lean on more quantitative pieces of hard data like regional job growth, inward migration, and population growth, with wage growth being a supporting indicator. These data points help us understand which metros are booming and which ones aren't, but they only tell a part of the overall story.

The team takes time to examine other indicators, including air travel numbers, tourism growth, government policy, and fiscal health, that are covered less often but are still important to the metro growth picture.

How are Inflation, Rent Growth, Interest Rates, and Housing Market Related?

Drew Breneman — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 11:19:00 -0500

Drew Breneman and Evan Dillon discuss relevant topics in this time of market turbulence characterized by high inflation and surging cost of borrowing. In an analysis composed of publicly available data from Federal Reserve Economic Data (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/), the hosts interpret timeseries dating back to the 1960’s and 1970’s by conducting correlations to determine the statistical relationships that exist between key indicators. Some of the questions that are addressed include:

How strong is the relationship between inflation and rent growth?
How closely tied are the rental market and single-family home market?
Is there truth to the widely-held public opinion that rising mortgage rates decrease demand for single-family homes, thus increasing demand for rentals?
What can we take away from history and are today’s circumstances different? 1970s vs 2022
What can we learn from prior periods of elevated inflation? How does that shape our outlook today?
