@JakehellerAI Great insights for AI in Real estate!

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

@coleruudjohnson Curious how you use manus for list building & data scraping

Waiting for interest rates to drop before buying multifamily is a losing strategy.

When rates drop, prices go up and competition floods in.

Buy now, lock in cash flow, refinance later.

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

Would you rather own:

A) 10 single-family rentals across town
B) One 10-unit apartment building

Same unit count. Very different management, financing, and upside.

My answer is B every time. What's yours?

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

5 numbers that matter in every multifamily deal:

1. Cap rate
2. Price per unit
3. Occupancy rate
4. Rent-to-income ratio in the market
5. CapEx needed in the next 5 years

If you can't answer all 5, you're not ready to make an offer.

“Location. Location. Location.” Is lazy advice

The real formula is: cash flow, cash flow, cash flow.

A great location with negative cash flow is a liability. A boring location with strong NOI is an asset.

Buy the numbers, not the zip code.

@thevraa @JakehellerAI @NousResearch Are you using Hermes agent for CRE?

Debate — Turnkey vs. Value-Add

Settle this: Would you rather buy:

A) Fully stabilized, turnkey 20-unit at a 6% cap
B) Value-add 20-unit with deferred maintenance at an 8% cap (after renos)

No wrong answer — but your pick tells me what kind of investor you are.

Monday Question — What's Holding You Back?

Honest question for anyone thinking about buying their first apartment building: What's the #1 thing holding you back?

A) Don't know where to start
B) Don't have enough capital
C) Scared of being a landlord
D) Can't find the right market

Drop your answer. I'll respond to every one.

@MediaKing Great read!

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

@GenZMultifamily What about a 6.5% going in & 8.8% pro forma 😏

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

@kayVee_arts Current vs Pro Forma.. ultimately is up to the buyer to execute the project to get to that income, but can use market rents.

[Daniel Stillson @StillsonCRE]

The difference between residential and commercial real estate lending:

Residential = based on YOUR income
Commercial = based on the PROPERTY'S income

That's why multifamily scales faster. The building qualifies itself.
