@OmarMora1es Thanks again for having me @OmarMora1es. Had a great time discussing the current state of the market and how to find alpha in the sub-institutional space!
Great conversation with Noah Miller, who found a unique niche in real estate where he is finding *equity-like returns with debt-level risk* for his LPs, even in this tough market.
We talk about:
• Why he went from a very successful institutional career path to opening up his own real estate private equity shop
• How he sources these niche deals (with an example of a recent closing in Fort Lauderdale)
• How has he remained active in this market
• And where he thinks this market is going…
Hope you learn as much as I did!!

@realEstateTrent You’re right. I run a hard money lending firm and the level of interest from investors has been immense. Many choosing to invest in debt rather than equity.
@quahoggy@JaretTurkell I wrote an article about this exact topic for the Scotsman’s Guide which is being published next month. Once it’s released, I’ll share the link here. It does a great job of explaining the nuances.
Thanks to @dbreview and @MeleaVanOstrand for sharing my insights on the local market.
We have continued to partner with mom and pop investors who want a piece of the pie and over the last 12 months, we have provided JV equity, preferred equity and bridge loans in the region.
Real estate pitfalls now: what you need to know.
🔵 With prices rising, sellers may want to back out of contracts before they close.
🔵 Rising insurance costs present a challenge.
🔵 The nation's economy could sputter.

@jefffeldman@realEstateTrent Great point. Reputation and experience is everything in that space. You can’t imagine the amount of loan requests we get daily from borrowers where their 7-8% hard money lender left them at the alter. Read reviews and get recommendations from friends and brokers.
@Keith_Wasserman Don’t think many banks would allow it but private lenders would. We allow seller seconds behind our firsts all the time, but don’t do CA.
@AndyPariPassu @SrHousing_CRE I focus on writing sub institutional checks for mezz/ pref and JV. My average check is between $500k and $2mm because no one else will do it!
@goingparaboIic I’m reading your book now (enjoying it very much) and you keep mentioning Bitcoin being the only truly finite asset on the planet. Why can’t someone / some group just create a new Bitcoin? What’s stopping a new decentralized Bitcoin from being created?
"You'll see some buyers going after distressed properties and that's something we want to be in front of on the lending side," said @GeltFinancial VP Noah Miller
