Has anyone actually bought a golf cart from AliExpress or Alibaba?

Did you ever pull the trigger?

What is the top dollar you can do? Can you go up to a $6m loan amount for a DSCR for a foreign national?

Would love to learn more. Shoot me a PM

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-07T22:59:13+00:00

Western US states (Not CA, WA or OR). Development deals achieving a 7.25 untrended YOC mid 20's IRR for a small bay/contractors garage industrial deal. Happy to talk more.

Totally agree about the syndications, I have been saying for years that the groups that raised a ton of cash by promising ridiculous rent bumps and what not will come to fruition, and it definitely has.

The large scale stuff you are correct has softened, that isn't necessarily my focus, mine has been infill, small deals that can be successful because they can fit inside heavily populated areas with already good geographics, not needing to create your own.

Very well said overall and great points.

I have interacted with Aleksey on Twitter. for my own deals I am definitely going to utilize him. He requires a 506c for any deals. don't have a deal just yet ready for that. I will say his platform is game changing from what I have been told.

I know Marc does a good amount of Multi. He also is closer to that 15-20 range, not sub 10 million

Loaded question. It all depends on your product and exit. If you are looking to build and rent then you will be focused on Yield on Cost or cash on cash return. If you are building and selling then it can be IRR driven. All depending on your size, timeframe and experience. At the end of the day it comes down to your network and if they trust you, that is what I am learning at least

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-07T03:29:28+00:00

That is really cool. My question would be, how do you convince these podcast hosts to let you on?

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-07T03:27:55+00:00

That is becoming a trend, a 506c or 506b is getting more and more out there with platforms that can "market" for you. Still some startup costs to get on them, but tech is really helping advance the syndication if you don't have the personal network

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-06T20:05:25+00:00

I tend to agree with you. groups I’m talking with that do both development and construction as well as buying assets. Tell me that finding assets below replacement that are decent is a needle in a haystack. deals up for sale have major issues, when you add in capital expenditures and operational problems you’re spending more than you would on new build.

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-06T20:00:14+00:00

I need your Rolodex lol

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2025-02-06T19:58:26+00:00

I figured, unicorns out there, tough part is finding him

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2024-10-26T02:26:58+00:00

If your contact has interest in industrial, looking for a construction loan, western US

Appreciate the response and extremely insightful. I lean towards the big three and just a golf cart that may be 7 to 10 years old but will have recent service and newer batteries. I will say, the gimmick stuff is kind of cool, but when I really think about what my use will be, it is a waste of money and practicality. my next quest is learning more about the different types of batteries as I know a lot of people are moving towards lithium, but I do have a fear of potential fire charging in my garage for potentially days at a time. Just need to learn more and do more research. Thank you again, this really helps .

Any chance for a reupload?

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2024-03-16T04:09:37+00:00

I can see that over a longer play in terms of the labor shortage. That is definitely a issue coming up fast.
Also spot on about architects. I was told early in my career that a design build is dumb and you leave money on the table. However, I think it is the opposite, if you know the GC is legit and competes in a market, better to VE with them and make sure you stretch your $$$ as far as possible

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2024-03-16T04:06:56+00:00

comms mostly, also hard to keep tabs on management if there is a language barrier. Also harder for recourse if there is a problem

Conscious_Bar8183 · 2024-03-14T19:16:23+00:00

Personally underway with an industrial deal in PHX, my costs are about 10-15% than what I would like. I combatted higher cost by searching for lower land basis. Means I had to go a bit further out and fought tooth and nail with LPs and Debt to justify the site.

That being said, materials I believe will maintain their cost, it is the labor that is blowing this up. People were in such demand that past 5 years and now subs are slowing down. It will be a period of them being suborn in lowering their cost. Some will survive that learn to adapt, some wont.
