  • Battle of the PPM: LP vs. GP Secrets Revealed

    Battle of the PPM: LP vs. GP Secrets Revealed
    2025/02/18
    We dive into the “battle of the PPM” (Private Placement Memorandum) with two special guests from opposite sides of the table. On the GP side, securities attorney Mauricio Rauld (Platinum Legal) explains how these legal documents protect operators and outline deal structures. Representing the LP perspective, experienced investor Jeremy Roll highlights how to spot red flags, interpret complex provisions, and ensure you’re comfortable with all the “fine print” before signing on the dotted line. Learn why the Operating Agreement is the ultimate governing document, what to look for in capital call clauses, how indemnification can affect your returns, and why consistent reporting is not always guaranteed. If you’ve ever been unsure how to read a PPM or wondered if you can negotiate its terms, this lively debate breaks it all down in real-world terms. Today’s Episode Takeaways How a PPM differs from the Operating Agreement and why both matter How LPs can interpret or negotiate tricky clauses like cash calls and preferred returns Indemnification pitfalls: when a GP is personally protected vs. on the hook Common oversights that cause confusion about reporting obligations and voting rights Why a mismatch between the pitch deck and legal docs is a serious warning sign Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review so you never miss out on more deep dives into passive investing strategies, market insights, and more!

  • Making Millions with Multi-Asset Conversions: Clint Harris Explains How

    Making Millions with Multi-Asset Conversions: Clint Harris Explains How
    2025/02/11
    We explore the world of asset class conversions with special guest Clint Harris, who specializes in turning empty big-box buildings (think old Kmarts and abandoned textile mills) into profitable self-storage facilities. Clint shares why changing consumer needs (especially among younger renters) is sparking new demand for creative reuse, and how savvy operators can use “cap rate arbitrage” to transform distressed properties at half the cost (and in a fraction of the time) compared to ground-up development. If you’re curious about office-to-multifamily flips, hotel conversions, or self-storage projects, this episode offers an inside look at the rewards and pitfalls of going beyond traditional real estate strategies. Today’s Episode Takeaways: - Why Conversions? How shifting consumer habits and vacant properties create “cap rate arbitrage.” - Storage Boom: Millennials now make up 38% of self-storage users, transforming the classic “store your junk” model into a climate-controlled, in-and-out amenity. - Key Metrics for Conversions: What operators look for in population density, traffic counts, and market rent comps to ensure profitability. - Challenges & Pitfalls: How unanticipated change orders and extended timelines can sink a project if you lack the right experience or vertical integration. - Beyond Self-Storage: From offices to hotels, RV parks to tiny-home villages—why any distressed asset can be repurposed with the right vision, team, and risk management.

    From Doom to BOOM? Dr. Doom’s Shocking Market Outlook
    2025/02/04
    We sit down with John “Dr. Doom” Drachman for a revealing look at how the multifamily market has evolved since the turbulence of 2022 and what passive investors can do now. John unpacks the factors that led to trouble (“overheated” markets, aggressive loan structures, and short-term flips), why true distress hasn’t fully materialized, and how today’s environment calls for more “boring,” long-term investing strategies. Tune in to learn why survival in 2022 doesn’t necessarily mean smooth sailing ahead, and discover the indicators John is watching to guide his next move in multifamily. Today’s Episode Takeaways: - The story behind the “Dr. Doom” nickname and John’s early warnings in 2022 - Why the feared “tidal wave” of multifamily distress never fully hit—and what might still be ahead - Key lessons for passive investors: avoiding speculative bridge debt, focusing on strong operators, and thinking long-term - How “local knowledge” and regulatory nuances can drastically alter returns—especially in red vs. blue states - Why John is bullish on “boring” approaches like workforce housing and fixed-rate debt in uncertain times Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review so you never miss out on future episodes covering the latest passive investing strategies, market insights, and more!
