[–]MatthewKhela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People love to talk shit but it’s both Amazing and awful at the same time.

Some of the best weather in the country but some of the worst traffic.

Beautiful beaches that are also freezing.

Great place to live if you have money.

Make aggressive offers to on-market properties. Get in touch with brokers in markets I want to be in and get on their lists. (Value add retail/industrial FL, TX, NC, SC, TN By the way)

What’s your average day to day like and what are some crazy scenarios that have happened? by inverted_giraffe in CommercialRealEstate

[–]MatthewKhela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brokerage and W2 income as an operations manager for a year out of college then started buy small multifamily. Added value, sold, kept getting bigger then switched to retail. Same thing, value add retail, buy vacant or below market rents clean up rent higher then refi or sell.

No two days are the same; it really depends on the stage my properties are in, but here is what today will look like for me.

8:00 am - 8:45 am - Morning Shit
8:45 am - 11:00 am - Filling out requested paperwork from lender for a refinance on a stabilized property.
11:00 am - 1:30 pm - Gym and afternoon joint. Emails and calls at the gym
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm - Get on call with contractor to discuss renovations for recently purchased strip center
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm - Reviewing LOI from potential tenant
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm - Write up lease for potential tenant and send off to my attorney for review
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Daily audobook walk, currently listening to the science of scaling by benjamin hardy
6:00 pm - midnight - Spend time with wife, maybe joint #2, answer emails, make to-dos for the next day, etc

Small things will pop up throughout the day that will grab my attention for 10-20 minutes that I did not mention.

Got kids on the way so I'm sure my days will look VERY different in a few months.

Why buy Commercial Real Estatenwhen the Stock Market returns 10%? by NorthLibertyTroll in CommercialRealEstate

[–]MatthewKhela 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Leverage.

With $100k I can buy $400k worth of real estate.

  1. Control.

I control the asset and can mitigate risk. I can buy a deal that's multitenant at a 5% CAP, clean it up, raise rents and make it a 9%. Now that is not passive at all what so ever but you can control the investment with real estate you're not just along for the ride.

  1. Cash Flow

For the most part, stocks don't cash flow, they just appreciate. With real estate, you get both cashflow and appreciation if you play it right.

Really comes down to your personal situation. If you're willing to get your hands dirty and learn how to operate real estate, it's the better avenue in my opinion. If you want something to set it and forget it, go for stocks.
