[00:01 - 07:46] The Advantages of Vertical Integration in Multi-Family Syndication

Jorge Abreu is the founder and CEO of Elevate Commercial Investment Group, based in Texas

Elevate Commercial Investment Group owns its own construction firm, J&T Construction, which handles all new construction and CapEx projects

Jorge pursued a career in real estate after studying to be an electrical engineer and has experience in single-family, new construction, small multi-family, and large multi-family deals

Jorge's decision to vertically integrate was driven by negative experiences with unreliable contractors



[07:47 - 15:01] Navigating Real Estate Downturn

Vertical integration provides more control over renovations and a better cost structure, leading to higher profitability

In any finished product, the three pillars are cost, schedule, and quality, and it's important to prioritize two out of three

Due diligence and having a detailed scope of work upfront can prevent costly mistakes and ensure a successful project

In today's environment, an acquisition strategy should focus on cash-flowing assets, good lender relationships, and avoiding adjustable rates or negative cash flow situations



[15:02 - 22:02] Making the Most of Downtime in Real Estate

The two biggest risks in real estate are running out of time or money, so it's important to plan carefully

When buying a property, look for cash flow that's already in place rather than relying solely on pro forma projections

Uncovering unknowns about the seller can provide insights into their motivation and help with negotiations

To finance a deal, consider options like seller carryback and private/JV equity



[22:03 - 30:11] Closing Segment

The housing shortage is only getting worse, and rising interest rates will motivate more people to enter the market

Focus is critical in real estate investing, and it's important to stay attuned to the market and be ready to seize opportunities
