Why I Invest in Multifamily Real Estate and How I am Creating Generational Wealth Through Passive Income - Maria Marks

Learn at a high level what goes into a Multifamily deal the terminology that comes with it and what the GP team does to make sure that the deal actually happens! S1 E3

My name is Maria Marks and I'm the host of the Apartment Wealth Podcast.  Today we're gonna talk about what goes into a multifamily deal, some terminology that we use, and what the team does to make sure that the deal actually happens.  So let's get into it. If you would like more information or would like my investment checklist click the link in my Instagram bio @maria_marks132 Message me with any questions!!  Terminology:  GP LP  Split  Underwriting  PSA  There's six main things that the team does together, and that is  1. Identifying the property  2. Due diligence  3. The bank and capital raise  4. Asset management  5. Distributions  6. The exit or the sale  When you're going to buy a house and you are walking into the house, I'm assuming most of the time that the house looks in pristine condition, it's so nice. It's nice and clean. Everything's put away. You really can't see all the issues that are going on on the house before you buy it. And then after you buy it, then you find out, oh, well actually the paint's chipping behind this cabinet, or, They didn't actually paint behind the refrigerator. That's kind of like what it's like to buy an apartment. When you're doing the underwriting, you're talking to brokers, you're walking the properties, you're seeing it in the pristine condition, just like when you buy a house. Investing passively requires trust in the team that's performing the deal. Yes, it's important to understand all the parts of the deal, but you wanna trust the team that's working on it. You wanna be confident in the investments that you're making, and that's why we're here to help you become a confident investor.  DISCLAIMER: This is an educational podcast.

Why I gave up on the stock market! S.1 E.2

Want my investment checklist? Check out my Instagram @maria_marks132 The link in my bio has more information! Hey everyone, my name is Maria Marks and I am the host of the Apartment Wealth Podcast. Today as the title states, we are talking about the stock market and why I do not invest. Now, before I get into my topic and all of my things of why I don't like it, I want you to know that I'm not forcing you or thinking that you need to take all your money out of the stock market and put it into multi-family. I think you should do what's best for your family, what's best for your investments. And the only reason I'm doing this is to explain a little bit more about multi. So with that, I feel like I should tell you a little, little story about me. When I was younger, I thought you went to school, you got good grades, you got a job, you got married, you had kids, and then you invested in the stock market. So I had to do my own research. I researched stocks so I could be proficient in them but what I found out wasn't what I thought! I feel like I have more chances to make money if I go to Vegas and I put all of my money on red. So that's why I turn to multi-family. When you invest in a multi-family. You have a portion of that property, you can drive by it, you can touch it, you can feel it. You can see it. It exists. It's not a piece of paper that says you invested in Disney stock. It's an actual, tangible thing, and that's why I. Now, I didn't just research this for a day and think that this is what I'm going to put all my money in. I have been through tons of masterminds, I've spent lots of money in researching and understanding the ins and outs of multi-family. I've listened to podcasts, I've read books on this, and that's why I'm sharing this with all of you because now I'm starting to understand it. I want you guys to understand it as well, because when you make an investment, I want it to be something that you are super confident in because if you're not confident, it's not going to sit right with you. Investing my first little bit of money was so difficult, but understanding the investment and knowing what I was investing in made it a little bit easier, and that's why we. When you invest in a multi-family property, after the deal closes, you get monthly check-ins or quarterly check-ins, whatever the deal ends up doing. And on those check-ins, you know how much percentages occupied, how the deal is doing, how much money they're making, and what little adjustments they need to be doing so that they don't lose all your money. And I like that because I'm getting a constant check-in of what's going on. I get a physical report on my investment and how it's doing, and to me, that is everything I. Have a control problem, like my husband will say, and I like to know what's going on in my investments. My goal is to help you become a confident investor. I want you to be able to invest your money and know what you're investing in. I don't want you to have those secrets like I do. And those surprises when you find out that the thing that you thought was real wasn't, I don't want that for you. So if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to talk to you more about multifamily and if multi-family is something you want to invest in, I want you to know everything about it. Please remember this podcast is for educational purposes only. I am not a CPA or attorney, I am here to provide the knowledge I have learned.
