14
00:01:05,396 --> 00:01:11,086
[prashant]: i was twenty twenty two twenty three
for my engineering education came here from my
15
00:01:11,146 --> 00:01:16,615
[prashant]: grad school graduated late nine that's when
the tech technology boom was picking up so
16
00:01:17,056 --> 00:01:22,665
[prashant]: jumped on that band wagon and we
really spent twenty plus years in the technology
17
00:01:22,705 --> 00:01:27,033
[prashant]: fields or engineer technology fields or kind
of covering technologies if you may call it
18
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:33,503
[prashant]: right now but along the way i
was always interested in real estate i was
19
00:01:33,603 --> 00:01:39,154
[prashant]: dabbling in it i bought some single
families along the way starting around two thousand
20
00:01:39,254 --> 00:01:44,866
[prashant]: seven ish had a handful of them
you know few in florida a couple in
21
00:01:44,966 --> 00:01:50,138
[prashant]: dallas but i did like the cash
flow aspect of it but what i hated
22
00:01:50,198 --> 00:01:53,734
[prashant]: was just the management you know dealing
with tenants
23
00:01:53,402 --> 00:01:53,763
[casey_]: yeah
24
00:01:53,814 --> 00:01:54,095
[prashant]: you know
25
00:01:55,267 --> 00:01:55,508
[casey_]: through
26
00:01:55,357 --> 00:01:55,657
[prashant]: you know
27
00:01:55,608 --> 00:01:58,777
[casey_]: the teas all the teas tenants trash
termites and so
28
00:01:59,003 --> 00:01:59,944
[prashant]: exactly
29
00:01:59,018 --> 00:01:59,138
[casey_]: on
30
00:02:00,125 --> 00:02:05,413
[prashant]: exactly and i'm i'm not a handy
man and kind of a guy so i
31
00:02:05,473 --> 00:02:07,757
[prashant]: can barely change a light bulb in
my
32
00:02:07,771 --> 00:02:07,933
[casey_]: oh
33
00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:11,724
[prashant]: own house so when somebody called me
for a toilet fix or plumbing i had
34
00:02:11,884 --> 00:02:15,411
[prashant]: no clue how to go about dealing
with that stuff so ways
35
00:02:15,222 --> 00:02:15,504
[casey_]: sure
36
00:02:15,471 --> 00:02:21,221
[prashant]: i mean so that was really when
i started thinking and i wanted to make
37
00:02:21,261 --> 00:02:28,093
[prashant]: my life easier so around twenty fifteen
twenty sixteen really i was thinking me and
38
00:02:28,133 --> 00:02:31,999
[prashant]: my wife were thinking that maybe we
should sell all these multiple single families and
39
00:02:32,261 --> 00:02:37,266
[prashant]: i like a six ples or an
eight ples to kind of simplify our problem
40
00:02:37,466 --> 00:02:41,112
[prashant]: may still have some problems but at
least in one location rather than ten different
41
00:02:41,132 --> 00:02:41,933
[prashant]: locations right
42
00:02:42,432 --> 00:02:42,553
[casey_]: yep
43
00:02:42,855 --> 00:02:48,329
[prashant]: so as i was exploring option i
started going to these meet ups and you
44
00:02:48,389 --> 00:02:51,058
[prashant]: know local groups here in dallas where
i live
45
00:02:51,904 --> 00:02:52,471
[casey_]: hm
46
00:02:52,411 --> 00:02:58,136
[prashant]: i quickly learned that you know i
mean i got exposed to this whole concept
47
00:02:58,276 --> 00:03:03,825
[prashant]: of large multi family investing i had
never i had no clue that existed i
48
00:03:03,865 --> 00:03:08,213
[prashant]: didn't know people like you and me
could actually buy by this large multi family
49
00:03:08,433 --> 00:03:14,163
[prashant]: you know complexes so that was kind
of an eye opener for me and you
50
00:03:14,203 --> 00:03:19,271
[prashant]: know i learned about you know how
people are buying these sixty units in larger
51
00:03:19,792 --> 00:03:22,136
[prashant]: complexes how they're raising money from
52
00:03:22,174 --> 00:03:23,401
[casey_]: yeah
53
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:23,158
[prashant]: others to
54
00:03:23,881 --> 00:03:24,066
[casey_]: yeah
55
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:32,522
[prashant]: do this indication style investing so that
was very intriguing and and i started you
56
00:03:32,542 --> 00:03:36,650
[prashant]: know first as a passive invested in
one day to try to explore how that
57
00:03:36,730 --> 00:03:42,651
[prashant]: works and the check started rolling in
monthly quarterly hey this is exactly
58
00:03:42,481 --> 00:03:43,171
[casey_]: yeah
59
00:03:42,671 --> 00:03:45,877
[prashant]: what i was looking for i like
the real estate side i like the cash
60
00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:47,881
[prashant]: flow i don't want to deal with
the tenants so here
61
00:03:47,851 --> 00:03:48,135
[casey_]: yeah
62
00:03:47,921 --> 00:03:50,867
[prashant]: it is this is this is where
i you know this is what i was
63
00:03:50,907 --> 00:03:51,748
[prashant]: looking for really
64
00:03:52,021 --> 00:03:52,402
[casey_]: sure
65
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:53,011
[prashant]: oh
66
00:03:52,803 --> 00:03:54,445
[casey_]: sure man
67
00:03:54,476 --> 00:03:54,757
[prashant]: yeah
68
00:03:54,546 --> 00:03:59,153
[casey_]: that's that's definitely where a lot of
people get the start and get the bug
69
00:03:59,313 --> 00:04:03,541
[casey_]: of saying hey man i didn't have
to do anything during this or not necessary
70
00:04:03,661 --> 00:04:07,828
[casey_]: don't earn this but this is this
is truly passive life right
71
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:08,842
[prashant]: it is
72
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:08,990
[casey_]: and
73
00:04:08,942 --> 00:04:09,766
[prashant]: it is yeah
74
00:04:10,432 --> 00:04:10,572
[casey_]: so
75
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:11,460
[prashant]: yeah
76
00:04:11,654 --> 00:04:16,662
[casey_]: what does your what does this business
look like today how many doors do you
77
00:04:16,722 --> 00:04:21,330
[casey_]: all have or complexes or however you
quantify it what does that look like
78
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:26,537
[prashant]: yeah so right now so let me
take a step back here so i started
79
00:04:26,597 --> 00:04:31,486
[prashant]: as a passive investor in twenty sixteen
did that for a little while i sold
80
00:04:31,566 --> 00:04:34,731
[prashant]: all of my single families invested in
twenty
81
00:04:34,561 --> 00:04:35,491
[casey_]: yeah
82
00:04:35,773 --> 00:04:37,536
[prashant]: two thousand units or so passively
83
00:04:38,081 --> 00:04:38,263
[casey_]: okay
84
00:04:38,457 --> 00:04:43,576
[prashant]: and then i you know i'm an
engineer i used to be an entrepreneur so
85
00:04:43,656 --> 00:04:47,602
[prashant]: that enreprenel bug bug kind of kicked
in and said he you know what the
86
00:04:47,683 --> 00:04:52,811
[prashant]: sponsors whoever are leading this project you
know i know i know i know the
87
00:04:52,851 --> 00:04:55,435
[prashant]: numbers i understand what they're doing why

88
00:04:55,881 --> 00:04:56,305
[casey_]: there you go

[prashant]: yeah it was great deal in a
great location you know place called sugar land
141
00:06:49,374 --> 00:06:49,836
[prashant]: near used
142
00:06:49,834 --> 00:06:50,401
[casey_]: hm
143
00:06:49,916 --> 00:06:55,097
[prashant]: in really good suburb so first generation
two thousand four built you know first generation
144
00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:57,862
[prashant]: value ad so it's untouched so
145
00:06:57,885 --> 00:06:58,106
[casey_]: wow
146
00:06:57,922 --> 00:07:00,688
[prashant]: we're going to go in and totally
transform the asset
147
00:07:01,911 --> 00:07:05,477
[casey_]: yeah yeah what when you say okay
so i want to dive in a little
148
00:07:05,517 --> 00:07:10,386
[casey_]: bit here on the value add part
of let's talk about that specific deal um
149
00:07:10,846 --> 00:07:16,456
[casey_]: what i think a lot of eople
get lost in in what the value ad
150
00:07:16,516 --> 00:07:19,601
[casey_]: part is now it's obviously pretty easy
to say hey we're going to add a
151
00:07:19,641 --> 00:07:22,686
[casey_]: swimming pool we're going to value add
we're going to remodel units we're going to
152
00:07:22,706 --> 00:07:26,813
[casey_]: value add but the other part of
the you add it's kind of a duel
153
00:07:26,873 --> 00:07:31,621
[casey_]: meaning meaning we're going to add value
to the tenants life but we're also going
154
00:07:31,661 --> 00:07:36,749
[casey_]: to add value to the property buying
by doing things where we can increase the
155
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:41,962
[casey_]: rent so what does the value add
proposition look like on that and then what
156
00:07:42,103 --> 00:07:47,431
[casey_]: do you what how did that how
does that look on the horizon way out
157
00:07:47,491 --> 00:07:49,118
[casey_]: like say two or three years down
the road
158
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:55,234
[prashant]: absolutely so this is like i said
i mean building two thousand four untouched none
159
00:07:55,294 --> 00:07:58,838
[prashant]: of the previous owners had done any
upgrade to the property so
160
00:07:59,315 --> 00:07:59,881
[casey_]: hm
161
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,873
[prashant]: so it's from our perspective we're gonna
go in and completely transform this property inside
162
00:08:05,933 --> 00:08:10,734
[prashant]: and out so on the outside you
know literally you know starting with differed manton
163
00:08:10,854 --> 00:08:15,742
[prashant]: like changing the roofs you know fixing
parking lots and stuff so that's every property
164
00:08:15,802 --> 00:08:23,114
[prashant]: has that but you know improving the
man is that it does have obsuming pool
165
00:08:23,214 --> 00:08:26,921
[prashant]: and club but we're gonna you know
spruce it up add some of their additional
166
00:08:27,001 --> 00:08:32,229
[prashant]: amenities out there to make it more
attractive for quality rest residents to come in
167
00:08:32,373 --> 00:08:32,557
[prashant]: right
168
00:08:33,051 --> 00:08:33,195
[casey_]: yeah
169
00:08:33,701 --> 00:08:39,771
[prashant]: and from true revenue value at from
that standpoint a bunch of stuff you're doing
170
00:08:39,931 --> 00:08:45,761
[prashant]: a you know standard unit up grades
units are really old style brown cabinets a
171
00:08:45,821 --> 00:08:46,643
[prashant]: lot of them still have
172
00:08:46,635 --> 00:08:47,221
[casey_]: hm
173
00:08:46,723 --> 00:08:52,942
[prashant]: carpet you know black appliances so we're
going to transform that little bit more modern
174
00:08:53,042 --> 00:08:54,364
[prashant]: finishes you know gray
175
00:08:54,282 --> 00:08:54,302
[casey_]: a
176
00:08:55,326 --> 00:09:03,319
[prashant]: two tone pained and quarts counter tops
black mat finish um so that in itself
177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,535
[prashant]: we are projecting a two and fifty
dollar rent bomb right on that you know
178
00:09:08,412 --> 00:09:08,793
[casey_]: what do you
179
00:09:08,776 --> 00:09:09,157
[prashant]: inter
180
00:09:08,913 --> 00:09:13,043
[casey_]: what do you think the cost what's
the cost per unit what are you estimating
181
00:09:13,063 --> 00:09:15,048
[casey_]: the cost per unit on that to
be
182
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:20,171
[prashant]: it's anywhere from eight thousand to leven
thousand depending on the finish
183
00:09:20,132 --> 00:09:20,172
[casey_]: a
184
00:09:20,231 --> 00:09:23,258
[prashant]: we're gonna do we have two different
finishes we're going to do so
185
00:09:23,873 --> 00:09:27,299
[casey_]: so if you're looking at a if
you're looking at a two to fifty two
186
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:33,088
[casey_]: fifty dollar month rent bump and that's
three thousand dollars a year and it's even
187
00:09:33,189 --> 00:09:37,534
[casey_]: at the high end eleven thousand dollars
to remodel it it's pretty damn good return
188
00:09:37,594 --> 00:09:38,134
[casey_]: on your money
189
00:09:39,210 --> 00:09:39,391
[prashant]: yeah
190
00:09:39,556 --> 00:09:39,576
[casey_]: i
191
00:09:39,612 --> 00:09:39,773
[prashant]: yeah
192
00:09:39,636 --> 00:09:39,756
[casey_]: mean
193
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:40,295
[prashant]: i mean you
194
00:09:40,377 --> 00:09:43,520
[casey_]: now you're talking almost twenty five per
cent return
195
00:09:44,490 --> 00:09:45,570
[prashant]: oh
196
00:09:44,551 --> 00:09:47,836
[casey_]: of course some of that's going to
depreciate but five or six years you've got
197
00:09:47,876 --> 00:09:51,442
[casey_]: your money back and you've got almost
a brand new asset at the time you
198
00:09:51,482 --> 00:09:52,264
[casey_]: know especially
199
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:53,760
[prashant]: yeah
200
00:09:52,945 --> 00:09:55,709
[casey_]: if you start talking about courts counter
tops and stuff like that because that stuff
201
00:09:55,789 --> 00:10:03,271
[casey_]: doesn't they don't get destroyed like for
mica and you can set hot pans on
202
00:10:03,331 --> 00:10:07,696
[casey_]: on stuff like that so wow that's
interesting m eight to eleven
203
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:08,068
[prashant]: absolutely
204
00:10:07,776 --> 00:10:10,800
[casey_]: thousand dollars per unit on two hundred
eighty eight units
205
00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:15,376
[prashant]: yeah yeah and if you if you
do the cap rate calculations on that right
206
00:10:15,416 --> 00:10:19,463
[prashant]: if you multiply two to fifty per
month multiplied by two eighty eight multiplied by
207
00:10:20,184 --> 00:10:24,762
[prashant]: twelve divide that by a five cap
you're talking about lions of dollars of you
208
00:10:24,823 --> 00:10:27,902
[prashant]: know added value to the asset right
209
00:10:28,091 --> 00:10:28,333
[casey_]: yeah
210
00:10:28,124 --> 00:10:28,546
[prashant]: right there
211
00:10:28,896 --> 00:10:29,861
[casey_]: yeah yeah
212
00:10:29,721 --> 00:10:30,102
[prashant]: and then
213
00:10:30,324 --> 00:10:30,847
[casey_]: millions
214
00:10:30,603 --> 00:10:31,807
[prashant]: yeah yeah
215
00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:35,016
[casey_]: and you're only talking about even if
you were like let's say ten thousand dollars
216
00:10:35,157 --> 00:10:39,704
[casey_]: units who re eighty eight units um
two point eight million dollars right two point
217
00:10:39,744 --> 00:10:44,935
[casey_]: eight eight million and so so you're
probably adding ten or twelve million on the
218
00:10:44,975 --> 00:10:49,028
[casey_]: cap rate what what caporate was what
caporteis it sitting at right now
219
00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:52,342
[prashant]: we are going in at a four
and a half so that's
220
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:53,251
[casey_]: hm
221
00:10:53,263 --> 00:10:56,226
[prashant]: super strong for two and four asset
so
222
00:10:56,601 --> 00:10:56,902
[casey_]: really
223
00:10:56,786 --> 00:10:56,987
[prashant]: yeah
224
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:57,523
[casey_]: okay
225
00:10:57,627 --> 00:10:57,787
[prashant]: yeah
226
00:10:58,245 --> 00:10:58,446
[casey_]: okay
227
00:10:58,248 --> 00:10:58,848
[prashant]: for that for
228
00:10:58,887 --> 00:10:58,967
[casey_]: and
229
00:10:58,888 --> 00:10:59,028
[prashant]: that
230
00:10:59,027 --> 00:10:59,188
[casey_]: then
231
00:10:59,089 --> 00:10:59,589
[prashant]: particular ship
232
00:11:00,591 --> 00:11:03,558
[casey_]: i'm assuming as you're going in at
a four and a half you're hoping to
233
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,466
[casey_]: expand that a little bit i guess
as
234
00:11:06,943 --> 00:11:07,631
[prashant]: i mean the market
235
00:11:07,288 --> 00:11:07,529
[casey_]: as
236
00:11:08,530 --> 00:11:12,416
[prashant]: yeah the market cap rate for that
sub market right now is high trees so
237
00:11:12,476 --> 00:11:17,084
[prashant]: we just got a better deal it's
a off market transaction out of stage seller
238
00:11:17,304 --> 00:11:21,171
[prashant]: you wanted to get out of there
so we just negotiated a good rice and
239
00:11:21,531 --> 00:11:21,952
[prashant]: were getting
240
00:11:21,894 --> 00:11:22,096
[casey_]: what
241
00:11:21,992 --> 00:11:25,639
[prashant]: it at a higher cap rate than
what it should be trading at right
242
00:11:25,951 --> 00:11:30,119
[casey_]: how how did the off market deal
come about
243
00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:33,464
[prashant]: relationships i mean that's the beauty
244
00:11:33,451 --> 00:11:33,835
[casey_]: broker
245
00:11:33,544 --> 00:11:34,325
[prashant]: of this business
246
00:11:34,379 --> 00:11:34,762
[casey_]: broker
247
00:11:34,946 --> 00:11:37,591
[prashant]: broker broker relationships you been at it
248
00:11:37,714 --> 00:11:37,877
[casey_]: wow
249
00:11:37,791 --> 00:11:41,738
[prashant]: you know that's so you stay in
the game build those relationships and in the
250
00:11:41,838 --> 00:11:47,485
[prashant]: end you know really that's all that
you know matters in this business right you
251
00:11:47,545 --> 00:11:48,026
[prashant]: know whether
252
00:11:47,922 --> 00:11:48,045
[casey_]: yeah
253
00:11:48,126 --> 00:11:53,355
[prashant]: it's broker relationship to get deals or
invested relationship to get the money so it's
254
00:11:53,415 --> 00:11:55,879
[prashant]: all a relationship business in the end
so you
255
00:11:56,012 --> 00:11:56,173
[casey_]: that's
256
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:56,782
[prashant]: unfortunate
257
00:11:56,254 --> 00:11:56,436
[casey_]: right
258
00:11:57,003 --> 00:12:02,827
[prashant]: yah we've been fortunate to have you
know built build a reputation and brokers know
259
00:12:02,967 --> 00:12:06,917
[prashant]: as we get a lot of market
looks at deals now
260
00:12:07,791 --> 00:12:13,360
[casey_]: yeah yeah and that's an i'll tell
you those off market looks it deals because
261
00:12:13,921 --> 00:12:21,112
[casey_]: it's always like it's always to me
seems something goes on market it automatically gets
262
00:12:21,152 --> 00:12:27,038
[casey_]: a ten percent bump um not just
not just because of the demand for people
263
00:12:27,118 --> 00:12:32,032
[casey_]: looking at him and wanting to make
offers on him but i think the agent
264
00:12:32,092 --> 00:12:36,299
[casey_]: really comes in and s like or
the broker comes in i'm talking about once
265
00:12:36,359 --> 00:12:40,406
[casey_]: it goes on the market and it
just seems to me like it's always once
266
00:12:40,446 --> 00:12:43,230
[casey_]: you get that pricing guidance and you
can really start to
267
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:43,457
[prashant]: oh
268
00:12:43,431 --> 00:12:46,861
[casey_]: meaning whether or not there's been a
lot of home work done on it and
269
00:12:46,901 --> 00:12:49,429
[casey_]: then you kind of go from there
so um
270
00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:49,551
[prashant]: yeah
271
00:12:50,201 --> 00:12:54,828
[casey_]: i'd like to talk a little bit
i'm just i'm glad you're closing the deal
272
00:12:54,888 --> 00:12:57,793
[casey_]: tomorrow because a lot of this stuff
is pretty fresh i guess it seems like
273
00:12:57,853 --> 00:12:59,356
[casey_]: in your mind but let's talk a
274
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,482
[prashant]: yeah
275
00:12:59,396 --> 00:13:04,524
[casey_]: little bit about the do diligence because
a lot of eople kind of seem to
276
00:13:04,565 --> 00:13:08,711
[casey_]: get a little bit lost on the
due diligence part where not lost in what
277
00:13:08,751 --> 00:13:12,958
[casey_]: they need to do but you know
was there any kind of outstanding issues with
278
00:13:13,019 --> 00:13:17,486
[casey_]: the property that may be you had
to do special testing on or anything like
279
00:13:17,526 --> 00:13:19,169
[casey_]: that to get to figure them out
280
00:13:20,570 --> 00:13:26,440
[prashant]: now fortunately the nice thing about buying
these newer deals is there's a lot less
281
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:29,245
[prashant]: of those issues that you're referring to
right i
282
00:13:29,222 --> 00:13:29,363
[casey_]: yeah
283
00:13:29,265 --> 00:13:30,627
[prashant]: mean we originally
284
00:13:30,562 --> 00:13:30,845
[casey_]: actually
285
00:13:30,707 --> 00:13:31,028
[prashant]: started
286
00:13:30,926 --> 00:13:31,228
[casey_]: class
287
00:13:31,108 --> 00:13:31,208
[prashant]: by
288
00:13:31,370 --> 00:13:31,915
[casey_]: a stuff
289
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:38,180
[prashant]: yeah class stuff right we started our
careers in twenty seventeen buying se class assets
290
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,846
[prashant]: and that's where the dew deligience really
came into play right you got to look
291
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:48,277
[prashant]: at plumbing shoes and fish shoes and
a lot of other environmental issues and all
292
00:13:48,317 --> 00:13:53,225
[prashant]: that stuff so not a whole lot
here but we still obviously go through and
293
00:13:53,326 --> 00:13:59,785
[prashant]: do now to new religions we have
our in house construction team now so walking
294
00:13:59,845 --> 00:14:04,892
[prashant]: all the units getting all the trades
in you know still do the plumbing check
295
00:14:05,012 --> 00:14:09,179
[prashant]: in you know we still do get
on the roofs and make sure at least
296
00:14:09,259 --> 00:14:09,840
[prashant]: understand
297
00:14:09,802 --> 00:14:09,863
[casey_]: we
298
00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:13,065
[prashant]: what the state of the roof is
so we can decide whether we want to
299
00:14:13,105 --> 00:14:16,940
[prashant]: replace it or fix it or whatever
it is but
300
00:14:16,871 --> 00:14:18,361
[casey_]: okay
301
00:14:17,821 --> 00:14:23,129
[prashant]: but yeah i mean generally speaking newer
deals it's lot less of it we just
302
00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:28,225
[prashant]: go through it and based on that
we create our cape budget which you know
303
00:14:29,106 --> 00:14:31,569
[prashant]: which is what were we allocate the
funds for right
304
00:14:32,391 --> 00:14:39,440
[casey_]: sure sure sure and how much so
all right sixty you said sixty five million
305
00:14:40,271 --> 00:14:40,471
[casey_]: right
306
00:14:40,312 --> 00:14:40,860
[prashant]: hm
307
00:14:41,674 --> 00:14:48,307
[casey_]: and you what was the equity portion
of the sixty five million like word around
308
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,150
[casey_]: thirteen or fourteen fifteen million
309
00:14:52,171 --> 00:14:57,179
[prashant]: no it's around so the total raise
was twenty eight out of that four million
310
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,468
[prashant]: ish was cap x budget so we
have about four out of that four i
311
00:15:02,508 --> 00:15:09,005
[prashant]: would say two million as for interiors
have half and half two million or two
312
00:15:09,065 --> 00:15:10,990
[prashant]: million interior and
313
00:15:11,004 --> 00:15:11,024
[casey_]: a
314
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:16,358
[prashant]: the rest dress is all closing cost
you know down payment and all that other
315
00:15:16,438 --> 00:15:17,099
[prashant]: stuff right
316
00:15:17,901 --> 00:15:18,644
[casey_]: yeah yeah
317
00:15:19,291 --> 00:15:23,846
[prashant]: rate cap cost to nowadays since we
are buying bridge there's rate cap cost involved
318
00:15:23,906 --> 00:15:25,906
[prashant]: in that the port enough
319
00:15:25,962 --> 00:15:26,964
[casey_]: um did
320
00:15:26,911 --> 00:15:27,194
[prashant]: raised
321
00:15:27,024 --> 00:15:29,449
[casey_]: you all sign on the loan yourself
or did you have to bring in
322
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:30,800
[prashant]: yeah
323
00:15:30,643 --> 00:15:31,627
[casey_]: p s to get that band
324
00:15:32,485 --> 00:15:35,272
[prashant]: we do have one k b who
signs on us but we sign on all
325
00:15:35,332 --> 00:15:36,556
[prashant]: our loans for
326
00:15:36,531 --> 00:15:36,631
[casey_]: got
327
00:15:36,596 --> 00:15:36,676
[prashant]: the
328
00:15:36,691 --> 00:15:36,771
[casey_]: you
329
00:15:36,696 --> 00:15:37,057
[prashant]: most part
330
00:15:37,131 --> 00:15:41,978
[casey_]: got you okay and is it a
non recourse fanny freddy kind of deal or
331
00:15:42,018 --> 00:15:42,939
[casey_]: what is it what is that
332
00:15:43,521 --> 00:15:49,135
[prashant]: this one is a bridge non recourse
and the reason we went that route is
333
00:15:49,577 --> 00:15:55,087
[prashant]: just the business model we have fit
the debt right so you gotta whenever you're
334
00:15:55,107 --> 00:15:59,253
[prashant]: buying a deal you got to match
the right debt with the right business business
335
00:15:59,314 --> 00:16:03,423
[prashant]: plan that you have so this is
a heavy value added so we ex in
336
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:09,144
[prashant]: the next twenty four months or so
to boost the no i significantly and
337
00:16:09,271 --> 00:16:09,413
[casey_]: kay
338
00:16:09,364 --> 00:16:16,957
[prashant]: bridge bridge that fit well gives us
easy exit out you know no prepayment penalties
339
00:16:17,437 --> 00:16:20,126
[prashant]: and you know our plan is and
a refined
340
00:16:20,041 --> 00:16:20,362
[casey_]: now when
341
00:16:20,327 --> 00:16:20,347
[prashant]: a
342
00:16:20,402 --> 00:16:24,469
[casey_]: you say bridge explain that just a
little bit for the listeners tell us tell
343
00:16:24,509 --> 00:16:28,335
[casey_]: the listeners exactly what because most of
the time when i
344
00:16:29,265 --> 00:16:29,285
[prashant]: a
345
00:16:29,337 --> 00:16:34,648
[casey_]: when i discussed bridge anyway go ahead
and just give us give us your bridge
346
00:16:34,728 --> 00:16:35,229
[casey_]: scenario
347
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:37,101
[prashant]: yeah so bridge is
348
00:16:37,145 --> 00:16:37,286
[casey_]: yes
349
00:16:37,182 --> 00:16:43,392
[prashant]: really a short term loan it's a
five year loan and the goal there is
350
00:16:43,552 --> 00:16:48,501
[prashant]: to bridge the gap between where you're
starting off and getting into a long term
351
00:16:48,642 --> 00:16:53,055
[prashant]: fixed that loan right so that's the
whole definition of bridge is a bridge to
352
00:16:53,416 --> 00:16:53,978
[prashant]: some of the loan
353
00:16:54,581 --> 00:16:54,743
[casey_]: yep
354
00:16:55,050 --> 00:17:02,963
[prashant]: and people take bridge for two reasons
one uh you can get higher leverage so
355
00:17:03,044 --> 00:17:09,042
[prashant]: they kind of bring they can they
allow you to m they fund the capes
356
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:17,075
[prashant]: cost for the project for you you
know for the most part and uh yeah
357
00:17:17,135 --> 00:17:22,395
[prashant]: and it gives you flexibility so there's
no you know prepay penalties like you would
358
00:17:22,455 --> 00:17:27,876
[prashant]: have it a fanny or ready loan
um so it's easy exit so you can
359
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:33,687
[prashant]: and typically when you have a plan
where you may exist in twenty four thirty
360
00:17:33,727 --> 00:17:37,203
[prashant]: six months this is a perfect fit
for that right and
361
00:17:37,193 --> 00:17:37,336
[casey_]: yeah
362
00:17:37,503 --> 00:17:43,244
[prashant]: our business plan was is exactly that
that go in twenty four months to three
363
00:17:43,304 --> 00:17:49,302
[prashant]: months implement our caps both to n
i and then either sell or if do
364
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,987
[prashant]: more permanent loans so get cast out
you know get get our equity pulled out
365
00:17:55,027 --> 00:17:58,333
[prashant]: of the deal or most of the
equity pulled out of the deal at the
366
00:17:58,373 --> 00:18:01,939
[prashant]: refieevent and just hold the deal longer
if you have to
367
00:18:02,732 --> 00:18:07,825
[casey_]: yeah so what that i think catches
a lot of people off guard as well
368
00:18:08,506 --> 00:18:14,521
[casey_]: what do you when you when you
plan on that like what happens if you
369
00:18:14,602 --> 00:18:22,578
[casey_]: get to the end of the business
plan and everything is remodeled and ready to
370
00:18:22,638 --> 00:18:27,025
[casey_]: go but let's say the market has
gone to crap what is the plan at
371
00:18:27,126 --> 00:18:36,703
[casey_]: five years if like let's say you
let's say the property caps the cap rate
372
00:18:36,844 --> 00:18:41,128
[casey_]: determines it's worth say ten million under
what you paid for it what's the plan
373
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:43,610
[casey_]: from five years forward
374
00:18:43,470 --> 00:18:45,181
[prashant]: oh so that's that's
375
00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:45,168
[casey_]: yeah
376
00:18:45,341 --> 00:18:47,786
[prashant]: the risk of bridge right there right
you
377
00:18:47,761 --> 00:18:47,883
[casey_]: yeah
378
00:18:48,066 --> 00:18:54,316
[prashant]: have to have confidence in the dealer
buying in your underwriting and your exit exit
379
00:18:54,397 --> 00:18:54,917
[prashant]: strategy
380
00:18:55,511 --> 00:18:55,653
[casey_]: yep
381
00:18:56,740 --> 00:19:04,013
[prashant]: and your execution ability right because you
don't have any option beyond five you got
382
00:19:04,073 --> 00:19:05,675
[prashant]: to do something by five years
383
00:19:06,662 --> 00:19:06,843
[casey_]: yeah
384
00:19:06,757 --> 00:19:09,422
[prashant]: so it's not for it's not forever
buy right you you
385
00:19:09,381 --> 00:19:09,524
[casey_]: yep
386
00:19:09,442 --> 00:19:15,351
[prashant]: know for people starting off it's not
recommended you just take a bridge dat when
387
00:19:15,392 --> 00:19:17,655
[prashant]: you don't have the experience but once
388
00:19:17,651 --> 00:19:17,794
[casey_]: yeah
389
00:19:17,695 --> 00:19:23,114
[prashant]: you're clear you've done a few deals
once you know exactly what you're buying if
390
00:19:23,154 --> 00:19:32,129
[prashant]: you're underwriting is conservative and you really
have confidence in execution ability then this option
391
00:19:32,249 --> 00:19:34,092
[prashant]: becomes attractive right
392
00:19:33,951 --> 00:19:34,074
[casey_]: yep
393
00:19:34,793 --> 00:19:35,094
[prashant]: but there
394
00:19:35,121 --> 00:19:35,262
[casey_]: yeah
395
00:19:35,134 --> 00:19:36,757
[prashant]: is risk absolutely i mean
396
00:19:36,671 --> 00:19:43,383
[casey_]: well i think and one of my
my listeners certainly understand and know that i'm
397
00:19:43,463 --> 00:19:45,025
[casey_]: a devil's advocate all the time
398
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:45,900
[prashant]: yeah
399
00:19:45,166 --> 00:19:51,176
[casey_]: every day all day long i devil's
advocate everything but the main my main concern
400
00:19:51,236 --> 00:19:55,603
[casey_]: with bridge right now and i've talked
to several several of the big guys in
401
00:19:55,643 --> 00:20:00,030
[casey_]: the business about this as well and
it seems to be the general consensus this
402
00:20:00,892 --> 00:20:05,700
[casey_]: the terror of the bridge loan right
now is is the interest rate exposure um
403
00:20:05,511 --> 00:20:05,941
[prashant]: absolutely
404
00:20:06,261 --> 00:20:11,449
[casey_]: and the interest rate you know comes
down and because that's that's that's probably the
405
00:20:11,570 --> 00:20:19,308
[casey_]: number on um m cap rate effect
or if you will um that there is
406
00:20:19,368 --> 00:20:22,393
[casey_]: in the market really i mean that
that's going to affect your cap rate worse
407
00:20:22,453 --> 00:20:26,019
[casey_]: than just about anything and of course
we all know cap rate determines value so
408
00:20:27,021 --> 00:20:31,465
[casey_]: the interest rate is directly correlated with
the value i think that's the that's probably
409
00:20:31,505 --> 00:20:37,012
[casey_]: the biggest risk right now and the
thing is that it's it's not it's nothing
410
00:20:37,152 --> 00:20:40,858
[casey_]: there's there's generally nothing any of us
can do about that right i mean you
411
00:20:40,898 --> 00:20:40,998
[casey_]: can
412
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,730
[prashant]: yeah
413
00:20:41,058 --> 00:20:44,464
[casey_]: obviously you figure out a way to
buy it down or something you can do
414
00:20:44,564 --> 00:20:48,611
[casey_]: some some some things like that if
if the up front expense carries and you
415
00:20:48,651 --> 00:20:52,897
[casey_]: can carry it out the long term
debt but um so five years and i
416
00:20:52,997 --> 00:20:58,756
[casey_]: feel like i feel like you probably
have it in the back of your mind
417
00:20:58,936 --> 00:21:03,764
[casey_]: that hey five years gets here we
can't do anything well re finance the property
418
00:21:03,804 --> 00:21:07,510
[casey_]: will hold the property will do something
because they don't just make bridge loans to
419
00:21:07,550 --> 00:21:14,359
[casey_]: big enters who could potentially be interest
rate averse in five years and then bankrupt
420
00:21:14,419 --> 00:21:15,280
[casey_]: them right
421
00:21:15,991 --> 00:21:17,593
[prashant]: yeah no absolutely
422
00:21:17,188 --> 00:21:17,309
[casey_]: so
423
00:21:18,174 --> 00:21:21,099
[prashant]: yeah yeah i mean there is a
risk and like you said you're right i
424
00:21:21,159 --> 00:21:26,047
[prashant]: mean there mitigation strategies you know we
are buying a rate cap in this case
425
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:33,227
[prashant]: to uh kind of you know insulate
us from the rising interest rate environment so
426
00:21:33,307 --> 00:21:34,049
[prashant]: what the way we
427
00:21:33,974 --> 00:21:34,561
[casey_]: hm
428
00:21:34,089 --> 00:21:38,135
[prashant]: are doing it is we have a
three ten spread what they call over sulphur
429
00:21:38,997 --> 00:21:43,390
[prashant]: where we are buying a one eight
cat going in so our interest rate all
430
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:45,478
[prashant]: in into trade is going to be
five ten right
431
00:21:46,222 --> 00:21:46,345
[casey_]: yeah
432
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:50,707
[prashant]: for thirty for for thirty three months
and the reason we are doing that is
433
00:21:50,787 --> 00:21:55,395
[prashant]: we don't want any risk while we
are executing our business plan right we don't
434
00:21:55,304 --> 00:21:55,831
[casey_]: hm
435
00:21:55,415 --> 00:21:59,181
[prashant]: want to we don't want to worry
about indrustrates for the first thirty six thirty
436
00:21:59,221 --> 00:22:04,430
[prashant]: months so we just go in focus
on our execution push the n i as
437
00:22:04,530 --> 00:22:10,580
[prashant]: fast and as hard as if we
can and just be ready to you know
438
00:22:10,861 --> 00:22:12,181
[casey_]: yeah
439
00:22:10,921 --> 00:22:12,926
[prashant]: have a capital capital event at
440
00:22:13,842 --> 00:22:14,062
[casey_]: what
441
00:22:13,848 --> 00:22:14,188
[prashant]: thirty six
442
00:22:14,162 --> 00:22:18,610
[casey_]: are you when it comes to remodeling
these units of course
443
00:22:18,633 --> 00:22:19,140
[prashant]: hm
444
00:22:19,451 --> 00:22:22,957
[casey_]: people can't live in them while they're
being remodeled for the most part
445
00:22:23,761 --> 00:22:23,904
[prashant]: yeah
446
00:22:24,199 --> 00:22:30,505
[casey_]: what what is your what's the strategy
for making sure that all of these remodels
447
00:22:30,545 --> 00:22:33,851
[casey_]: get done and are you saying that
the residents are for the most part gonna
448
00:22:33,951 --> 00:22:38,418
[casey_]: are you going to move residents around
within the within the complex if it gets
449
00:22:38,438 --> 00:22:42,505
[casey_]: down to the strand that strato that
part of the strategy always seems to be
450
00:22:42,825 --> 00:22:46,371
[casey_]: a bottle neck for people because they're
like what if i've got somebody as been
451
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:48,575
[casey_]: there ten years and they don't want
to move and they don't want to this
452
00:22:48,615 --> 00:22:52,622
[casey_]: or that or the other what's what
is that and i know that it's few
453
00:22:52,662 --> 00:22:58,034
[casey_]: and far between for the most part
but what your long term residence that are
454
00:22:58,074 --> 00:23:00,119
[casey_]: currently there what is that looking like
455
00:23:00,950 --> 00:23:06,519
[prashant]: so it is a balancing act between
occupancy and upgrade you know
456
00:23:07,015 --> 00:23:07,561
[casey_]: hm
457
00:23:08,362 --> 00:23:09,184
[prashant]: velocity right
458
00:23:09,771 --> 00:23:09,914
[casey_]: yep
459
00:23:09,845 --> 00:23:14,554
[prashant]: so we we are shooting for eight
to ten units you know per per month
460
00:23:15,336 --> 00:23:17,670
[prashant]: starting one three and
461
00:23:17,584 --> 00:23:17,604
[casey_]: a
462
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:24,842
[prashant]: that that equites to you know twenty
eight vacant units you know ten percent of
463
00:23:25,103 --> 00:23:30,792
[prashant]: the units so we may do seven
some months do tend some months but we'll
464
00:23:30,832 --> 00:23:35,440
[prashant]: have to balance the occupancy keep it
over ninety you know ninety to nine three
465
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,130
[prashant]: range and still kind of keep doing
those upgrade so you know but in general
466
00:23:41,191 --> 00:23:41,211
[casey_]: a
467
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:46,426
[prashant]: that's what we shoot for on eight
or so average per month
468
00:23:47,764 --> 00:23:47,926
[casey_]: yeah
469
00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:49,253
[prashant]: keeping the occupancy intact
470
00:23:50,941 --> 00:23:54,666
[casey_]: um and yeah that that that that
that's the perfect way to put it keeping
471
00:23:54,686 --> 00:24:01,034
[casey_]: the occupancy intact because so so what
what when you get it doesn't it seems
472
00:24:01,094 --> 00:24:05,582
[casey_]: to me like keeping the occupancy intact
is going to be harder the further down
473
00:24:05,622 --> 00:24:10,350
[casey_]: the road you go that is that
is that generally the idea that that he
474
00:24:10,530 --> 00:24:14,957
[casey_]: once it we get twenty two twenty
three twenty four months into this deal at
475
00:24:15,018 --> 00:24:15,398
[casey_]: our ten
476
00:24:15,385 --> 00:24:15,567
[prashant]: yeah
477
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:15,779
[casey_]: units
478
00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:15,871
[prashant]: i mean
479
00:24:15,879 --> 00:24:16,941
[casey_]: per month those
480
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,580
[prashant]: yeah
481
00:24:17,061 --> 00:24:21,408
[casey_]: last fifty units are they people that
have been there a while and if they
482
00:24:21,528 --> 00:24:21,609
[casey_]: are
483
00:24:21,578 --> 00:24:21,700
[prashant]: yeah
484
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:21,789
[casey_]: what
485
00:24:21,761 --> 00:24:21,862
[prashant]: but
486
00:24:21,809 --> 00:24:22,149
[casey_]: do you do
487
00:24:23,090 --> 00:24:27,955
[prashant]: no but if you think about it
at five per cent vacancy rate at a
488
00:24:28,035 --> 00:24:34,122
[prashant]: two two eight eight unit property you
know so that's ten plus units available every
489
00:24:34,163 --> 00:24:34,904
[prashant]: month right
490
00:24:35,161 --> 00:24:35,302
[casey_]: yeah
491
00:24:35,164 --> 00:24:40,353
[prashant]: so if you're ninety five percent occupied
on a two unit property let's say three
492
00:24:40,413 --> 00:24:46,851
[prashant]: hundred just for calculations sake that's fifteen
units of vegan units every month available for
493
00:24:46,931 --> 00:24:51,744
[prashant]: us to either upgrade or turn so
we don't do we may not upgrade all
494
00:24:51,784 --> 00:24:55,531
[prashant]: the units that are available because sometimes
you got to turn them faster so we
495
00:24:55,591 --> 00:24:58,857
[prashant]: may keep some classic units you know
for for a little while
496
00:24:58,633 --> 00:24:59,664
[casey_]: yeah ah
497
00:24:59,598 --> 00:24:59,838
[prashant]: but
498
00:25:00,463 --> 00:25:00,628
[casey_]: yeah
499
00:25:00,591 --> 00:25:01,160
[prashant]: but we have
500
00:25:01,621 --> 00:25:03,631
[casey_]: oh
501
00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:04,626
[prashant]: you know we should have it to
ten units available
502
00:25:04,471 --> 00:25:05,911
[casey_]: yeah
503
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:07,353
[prashant]: based on our plan oh
504
00:25:07,731 --> 00:25:14,439
[casey_]: okay what is what is the single
biggest expense in this remodel that's going to
505
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:15,000
[casey_]: take place
506
00:25:17,062 --> 00:25:22,733
[prashant]: so for this specific deal it's really
the unit upgrade which is going to cost
507
00:25:22,833 --> 00:25:24,076
[prashant]: us two plus million dollars right
508
00:25:24,082 --> 00:25:27,416
[casey_]: well all right what's the single what's
509
00:25:27,342 --> 00:25:27,583
[prashant]: single
510
00:25:27,497 --> 00:25:27,637
[casey_]: this
511
00:25:27,644 --> 00:25:27,825
[prashant]: item
512
00:25:28,621 --> 00:25:30,728
[casey_]: yeah what's a single item that's going
to be the like eight
513
00:25:30,731 --> 00:25:30,893
[prashant]: it's
514
00:25:30,808 --> 00:25:32,614
[casey_]: does eight the vac have to be
done
515
00:25:32,491 --> 00:25:32,712
[prashant]: yeah
516
00:25:32,674 --> 00:25:32,855
[casey_]: i mean
517
00:25:33,074 --> 00:25:33,175
[prashant]: so
518
00:25:33,216 --> 00:25:33,517
[casey_]: what is
519
00:25:34,581 --> 00:25:39,452
[prashant]: yeah so in this case the roofs
for this deal so there are original roofs
520
00:25:39,652 --> 00:25:41,997
[prashant]: two tousand four so that's going to
be our biggest
521
00:25:42,252 --> 00:25:42,973
[casey_]: yeah that's
522
00:25:42,991 --> 00:25:43,133
[prashant]: yeah
523
00:25:43,013 --> 00:25:46,539
[casey_]: when the thirty year ruth really started
coming about now all of a sudden
524
00:25:47,193 --> 00:25:48,435
[prashant]: exactly exactly
525
00:25:48,082 --> 00:25:53,673
[casey_]: we're eighteen years into that thirty year
cychewhen everybody is going okay well ah
526
00:25:53,743 --> 00:25:56,267
[prashant]: so for this one we're going to
just go in and replace the roof and
527
00:25:56,327 --> 00:26:00,374
[prashant]: that kind of goes well with our
full you know
528
00:26:00,301 --> 00:26:00,522
[casey_]: yeah
529
00:26:01,055 --> 00:26:02,297
[prashant]: face lift plan
530
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:02,495
[casey_]: yeah
531
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:06,484
[prashant]: anyways right you don't want to have
a beautiful color and beautiful landscaping with crappy
532
00:26:06,524 --> 00:26:07,366
[prashant]: roof on top right
533
00:26:07,641 --> 00:26:07,782
[casey_]: yeah
534
00:26:08,087 --> 00:26:12,775
[prashant]: so it's it kind of you know
we are okay with it and you know
535
00:26:13,076 --> 00:26:13,897
[prashant]: it needs to be replaced
536
00:26:13,614 --> 00:26:14,251
[casey_]: kay
537
00:26:13,937 --> 00:26:14,578
[prashant]: anyway itself
538
00:26:14,961 --> 00:26:20,330
[casey_]: you have opportunities for for other value
ad items like maybe covered parking or
539
00:26:20,672 --> 00:26:21,119
[prashant]: absolutely
540
00:26:21,031 --> 00:26:25,118
[casey_]: or storage i mean is there is
there do you plan on adding any of
541
00:26:25,178 --> 00:26:26,780
[casey_]: that stuff to it or is it
already there
542
00:26:27,540 --> 00:26:32,645
[prashant]: yeah so few things so first thing
i mean there's two technology items that we
543
00:26:32,705 --> 00:26:37,251
[prashant]: are adding so one is why fie
to the whole property so there's what we
544
00:26:37,332 --> 00:26:38,583
[prashant]: call the property wide wif
545
00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:39,493
[casey_]: okay
546
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:44,087
[prashant]: that's a huge that's going to be
a huge revenue generator especially for this a
547
00:26:44,207 --> 00:26:50,999
[prashant]: class demographics right so we we are
going to be paying let's say twenty bucks
548
00:26:51,179 --> 00:26:55,730
[prashant]: to that provider and we can charge
sixty bucks to the tenants you know sixty
549
00:26:55,790 --> 00:26:56,171
[prashant]: bucks is
550
00:26:56,146 --> 00:26:56,327
[casey_]: yeah
551
00:26:56,231 --> 00:26:56,411
[prashant]: still
552
00:26:56,508 --> 00:26:56,589
[casey_]: and
553
00:26:56,993 --> 00:26:57,454
[prashant]: cheaper
554
00:26:57,172 --> 00:26:57,434
[casey_]: so you
555
00:26:57,554 --> 00:26:58,717
[prashant]: than what they're paying right now
556
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:02,959
[casey_]: so it's similar to like a hotel
where you have to put your partment number
557
00:27:03,099 --> 00:27:06,346
[casey_]: in your last name in your code
in and then you got you're on the
558
00:27:06,386 --> 00:27:06,707
[casey_]: wife
559
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,802
[prashant]: exact exactly
560
00:27:07,629 --> 00:27:07,789
[casey_]: yeah
561
00:27:07,962 --> 00:27:11,448
[prashant]: exactly they don't have to sign up
anything as soon as they check in sign
562
00:27:11,488 --> 00:27:15,475
[prashant]: the las boom they get a code
they have why fie through ll the property
563
00:27:15,495 --> 00:27:18,784
[prashant]: they can be by the pool have
wifie walk around the probe i mean it's
564
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:19,560
[prashant]: you
565
00:27:19,501 --> 00:27:20,461
[casey_]: yeah
566
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:25,049
[prashant]: know it's super convenient and residence love
it you know we've implemented it and a
567
00:27:25,109 --> 00:27:27,553
[prashant]: couple of our other properties so that's
that's
568
00:27:27,571 --> 00:27:28,119
[casey_]: yeah
569
00:27:27,693 --> 00:27:32,308
[prashant]: one we are doing we are also
implementing you know smart locks smart termes technology
570
00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:36,322
[prashant]: so it's an amenity fee that we're
going to charge but it's
571
00:27:36,342 --> 00:27:36,843
[casey_]: now is each
572
00:27:36,784 --> 00:27:36,945
[prashant]: still
573
00:27:36,963 --> 00:27:40,429
[casey_]: unit is each unit metored separately so
so each
574
00:27:40,381 --> 00:27:40,402
[prashant]: s
575
00:27:42,023 --> 00:27:42,224
[casey_]: you know
576
00:27:42,140 --> 00:27:42,282
[prashant]: yeah
577
00:27:42,244 --> 00:27:46,902
[casey_]: when somebody comes in and and gets
electric
578
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:46,844
[prashant]: yeah
579
00:27:47,002 --> 00:27:49,207
[casey_]: then they okay that's that that's
580
00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:49,420
[prashant]: yeah
581
00:27:49,287 --> 00:27:49,788
[casey_]: another big
582
00:27:49,661 --> 00:27:54,749
[prashant]: they got yeah they get their own
electric so it's individual yes in this case
583
00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:55,711
[prashant]: and then you
584
00:27:55,654 --> 00:27:55,955
[casey_]: um
585
00:27:55,791 --> 00:28:01,521
[prashant]: mentioned you know patios and stuff so
we ave we are gonna extend a handful
586
00:28:01,561 --> 00:28:06,128
[prashant]: of patios there we're going to add
some additional dat's already had some covered parking
587
00:28:06,188 --> 00:28:10,576
[prashant]: and garages so we're gonna add some
additional covered parking because that's a need package
588
00:28:10,616 --> 00:28:15,603
[prashant]: lockers is another thing you know a
lot right now all these amazon deliveries are
589
00:28:15,643 --> 00:28:19,607
[prashant]: sitting in the office takes up a
lot of time from the staff so we're
590
00:28:19,627 --> 00:28:20,588
[prashant]: going to just implement
591
00:28:20,581 --> 00:28:20,762
[casey_]: yeah
592
00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:21,049
[prashant]: you know
593
00:28:21,242 --> 00:28:24,788
[casey_]: package lockers and i think that's a
big thing that's coming for a lot of
594
00:28:24,828 --> 00:28:29,276
[casey_]: these places i really do and i'll
tell you some of that stuff some of
595
00:28:29,316 --> 00:28:34,905
[casey_]: that stuff is like passive income looking
in some of these lockers some of this
596
00:28:34,945 --> 00:28:35,947
[casey_]: locker situation
597
00:28:36,671 --> 00:28:36,731
[prashant]: it
598
00:28:36,808 --> 00:28:37,129

[casey_]: and
601
00:28:37,763 --> 00:28:37,803
[prashant]: a
602
00:28:38,090 --> 00:28:40,895
[casey_]: and i think that that's you know
i think that's going to kind of be
603
00:28:41,516 --> 00:28:45,202
[casey_]: at least the short term answer for
a lot of what's going on and and
604
00:28:45,260 --> 00:28:45,402
