BiggerPockets’ Post

I first experienced the magic of the Bigger Pockets community at their annual conference – BPCON – last fall. I was surrounded by 2,500 real estate investors of all ages and life experiences, who had traveled across the country to come together with other community members in their shared ambition of becoming world-class real estate investors, accelerating their financial independence. This gathering vividly showcased what we at TCG have long admired from a distance: Scott Trench and the entire BiggerPockets team are category creators defining the future of real estate investing. That’s why I’m so excited to announce TCG’s investment in BiggerPockets, the leading platform democratizing access to real estate investing with premium content, advanced tools, and resources for every investor’s journey. BiggerPockets connects their members with trusted service professionals to make each part of the investment journey – from research and financing, to property purchase, to management and value creation – as informed and seamless as possible. Our investment will help unlock tremendous growth opportunities for BiggerPockets, accelerating audience growth, providing a world-class membership experience, and continuing to create a robust marketplace that connects investors with their ideal team of experts. Today, they’re launching four new products built in direct response to community feedback. Market Finder, Deal Finder, Real Estate Tax Pro Finder and Property Manager Finder are all aimed at helping members better understand where to invest, how to find the right deal, and how to manage and maximize their investment. As the leading real estate podcast network with over 150 million downloads, 3 million books sold, and 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, BiggerPockets is doing so much more than reshaping the real estate market; they’re expanding it by educating a new class of investors. The platform has already facilitated $30 billion in self-reported real estate asset purchases. And we’re just getting started. We're dedicated to helping the BiggerPockets team continue to drive value for their millions of passionate community members and backing their mission to empower individuals to become best-in-class real estate investors on their journey to achieving financial freedom.

Ever considered how property investments can pave the way for a lasting legacy? Here's our perspective on building generational wealth. 🏠✨ In the realm of wealth creation, one of our key motivations is building a legacy that extends far beyond our lifetime. Property investments serve as our chosen avenue, ensuring a seamless flow of inheritance and streamlined estate planning for the next generation. It's not merely about acquiring assets; it's about crafting a tangible, enduring gift for our children and their children. Through our podcast conversations, it's clear that many share this vision.

As stewards of generational wealth, we find purpose in this endeavor, nurturing assets that will stand the test of time. #GenerationalWealth #LegacyBuilding #RealEstateInvesting #FinancialStewardship #EstatePlanningJourney

https://lnkd.in/e7kHgp9w I really loved this podcast with Michael Episcope Trust takes a long time to build, so being consistent in communicating and giving updates is crucial. That's why we make it a priority to communicate consistently and effectively with our investors and team. "And people will accept a lower level of return if you communicate to them about how you're making it, how you're doing and how they are doing becuase they will sleep well" Love that and makes sense! His insight into the real estate market was super accurate, and this is exactly why we did NOT want to put up just another "real estate" fund. We needed something more, a way to give back and help other people who otherwise wouldn't get the help they needed. So, Funding Impact (we) have bridged real estate and health care for families seeking home based communities where their IDD adult children flourish with personalized, compassionate care. Additionally, his checklist, specifically, when it comes to evaluating real estate deals; is still applicable to deals in general, the framework that is and I'm gonna share it below. 1. Business Plan: Gut check, does it make sense, experience  2. Underwriting: Cap rate, terminal cap rate 3. Revenue: How much is revenue growing from business plan and market rate revenue? 4. Returns: Viewing returns relative to leverage (property operating metrics with leverage, which should enhance return, 2:1 debt to equity, 65% debt, and 35% equity. This is realistic. Careful of using too much leverage because fees are usually wild. 5. Comparing: Comparable properties and what they're trading for 6. Sales: On the rent side 7. Fees: Range in RE 1.5% asset management fee anually, small acquisition fee and performance fee between 10%-20% , keep it fair and even across the board for everyone.
