I cold called an investor (who owns over $25,000,000 worth of real estate almost all free & clear) to ask for advice.

Here's what he said:

"Real estate is all about satisfying the resident & reducing costs."

Seemingly contradictory statements.

But when executed well:

Crushes.

Here's his advice:

1) Buy units with more bedrooms.

- For him, he buys assets & holds them in perpetuity.
- He found residents stay longer with 2-3 bedrooms.
- This is true for dishwashers & washer/dryers too.
- Here was his point: anticipate their needs.
- Anticipate their growth in life (families).
- & provide them convenience.

As their family grows & they make more money, you have the capacity to support this.

2) Be vertically integrated.

In his opinion:

- The single greatest opportunity to reduce cost.

He wanted to maximize cash flow:

- He had a manager & went in 2 days/week.
- This increased his cash flow, which
- Afforded a better life style.

The conversation was over 40 minutes.

He was very gracious with his time.

(Probably because he afford it).

P.S. Curious to hear your favorite interactions on a cold call?

As you probably already know, I’m first and forement a follower of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you’re wondering why I include that in my professional introductions, it’s because my faith and relationship with God drives every other area of my life, including business. 

I’m a husband to Colleen and a father to Cam. You can’t win in business if you’re not first winning at home. 

I’m Jax, Florida-raised but Cincinnati is my home. I believe God has us here for very specific reasons. Reasons beyond just business. 

Thus far, my professional career is one of two paths; corporate finance and commercial real estate entrepreneurship. 

My corporate career came to a sudden halt on New Years Day 2022, the day after my wedding, after I was fired for electing not to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. I don’t love including this part, but it served as a crucial turning point in my life and career. It was real life experience of standing firm on my God-given convictions even while society, mentors, peers, family members and finances advised otherwise. And I learned to trust God when the future was wildly unclear. I mean, day one of my marriage I became jobless and income-less, for goodness sake! 

Day one of being jobless was not only terrifying, but strangely the most freedom and peace I’ve ever experienced. The future had no ceiling. 

This is where Ten27 Group started to really take shape with my brother, Kevin. I’ve always had an affinity for real estate. When I was young, my favorite things to draw were city skylines, sports stadiums and mansion homes. I dreamed of one day building these skyscrapers myself. This is why Kevin and I began buying up small multifamily properties in Cincinnati in 2020, it was the only way we knew how to get involved. We also knew it was a great investment and a fun one (most of the time). But we never anticipated it becoming more than simply a side gig. 

But after Kevin quit his job and I got fired from mine, things quickly changed. 

While Ten27 isn’t changing the landscape of city skylines (YET), we are buying, building and operating commercial multifamily and mixed-used real estate. Our focus is on Midwest markets such as Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton. We pride ourselves on being faithful stewards of the communities in which we invest. 

If you’re an investor, capital partner or JV partner looking for on-the-ground operators in our target markets, please reach out. I’d love to see if there’s a way to work together. 

God Bless,

Mitch
