<p>This month Vera Wang Cassara and Diana Lin from Navi Ventures discussed intense and much needed conversations around Multifamily investment, passive investment, entrepreneurship, and much more. Here are a few takeaways:</p><p>1. Finding strategic partnerships that complement your skillsets is crucial in business. It's like finding the missing puzzle piece to complete your vision. But before committing to a long-term partnership, "date" your potential partners to test the waters and ensure you're compatible. Just like in a romantic relationship, you want to make sure you're partnering with someone who shares your values, goals, and work ethic. Take the time to get to know them, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they handle challenges. Don't rush into a partnership – "date" them first! 😉</p><p>2. Education teaches us to be good employees by focusing on skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. But entrepreneurship requires a different set of skills like risk-taking, adaptability, and creativity. In school, we're taught to follow rules and avoid failure. But in entrepreneurship, failure is a necessary step towards success. We need to learn to embrace failure, think outside the box, and be comfortable with uncertainty. Education gives us a foundation, but entrepreneurship requires us to build our own path.</p><p>3. Multifamily investment can be challenging and unglamorous. Being an operator requires hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. It's not just about collecting rent and waiting for the money to roll in. You need to be hands-on, dealing with maintenance issues, difficult tenants, and unexpected expenses. It's a 24/7 job that requires a lot of effort and sacrifice. But the rewards can be worth it – financial freedom, a sense of accomplishment, and the ability to create a legacy. So, if you're considering multifamily investment, be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get to work!</p><p>4. Networking is about creating genuine connections with others in your industry. It's not just about collecting business cards or attending events. It's about building relationships and finding ways to bring value to others. To network effectively, listen more than you talk – 80% of the time, focus on understanding others' needs and challenges. Then, see how you can help them, whether it's through your expertise, resources, or connections. Attend events like @the_real_estate_ladies and Peak Multifamily Meetups to be in proximity of like-minded individuals who share your passion for real estate. But remember, networking is about giving, not just taking. Come prepared to offer value and build meaningful relationships.</p><p>Last but not least, a book recommendation: "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg is a must-read for anyone in business or real estate. It's a quick and easy read that teaches you how to succeed by focusing on giving value to others. The book introduces the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success: Value, Compensation, Influence, Authenticity, and Receptivity. It shows you how to apply these laws in your daily life and business to achieve success and build meaningful relationships. The book is inspiring and practical, with real-life examples and actionable tips. It's a game-changer for anyone looking to build a successful and fulfilling career in real estate or any other industry.&nbsp;</p><p>Follow us on Instagram: <a data-mce-href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hDFDGMSs3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hDFDGMSs3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hDFDGMSs3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==</a></p><figure id="figure-r82t2qs1sbltvz62h2"><img id="r82t2qs1sbltvz62h2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1daukB7TDdJPZYSvdo668aB5N6pCqjIMzRuYisMXBPafyisbM8zRx9Au5rwxNlC2.jpg" alt="diana lin | vera wang cassara | navi ventures | peak square ventures | peak multifmaily " title="diana lin | vera wang cassara | navi ventures | peak square ventures | peak multifmaily " class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 40%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="40%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1daukB7TDdJPZYSvdo668aB5N6pCqjIMzRuYisMXBPafyisbM8zRx9Au5rwxNlC2.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 40%;"></figure>

Peak Multi Family March Recap

<h2>Maximizing Returns: The Power of Diversifying with Multi-family Properties</h2><p>When it comes to investing in real estate, diversification is key. One way to achieve this diversification is by investing in multi-family properties. These properties offer a unique opportunity to maximize returns and minimize risk. In this blog post, we will explore the power of diversifying with multi-family properties and why they should be a part of your investment portfolio.</p><h3>What are Multi-family Properties?</h3><p>Multi-family properties are residential buildings that contain more than one unit. They can range from duplexes and triplexes to apartment complexes and condominiums. Investing in multi-family properties allows you to own multiple units within a single property, providing you with multiple streams of rental income.</p><figure id="figure-dwxoq9docdlthihe7r"><img id="dwxoq9docdlthihe7r" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1491440305722-061438e1cdc8?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8bXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwcHJvcGVydGllc3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDk4MzMxMDN8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="multi-family properties" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1491440305722-061438e1cdc8?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyMnx8bXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwcHJvcGVydGllc3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDk4MzMxMDN8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>The Benefits of Multi-family Properties</h3><p>There are several advantages to investing in multi-family properties:</p><ol><li><strong>Increased Cash Flow:</strong> Owning multiple units means more rental income. With multi-family properties, you can generate higher cash flow compared to single-family homes.</li><li><strong>Economies of Scale:</strong> Managing multiple units within a single property allows for cost savings. You can share expenses such as maintenance, repairs, and property management, resulting in lower overall costs.</li><li><strong>Reduced Risk:</strong> Diversifying your investment across multiple units spreads the risk. If one unit becomes vacant, you still have other units generating income, reducing the impact on your cash flow.</li></ol><figure id="figure-pa45osbwylthihf67"><img id="pa45osbwylthihf67" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528713221337-4c0148dc227c?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxNHx8TXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwUmVhbCUyMEVzdGF0ZSUyMEludmVzdG1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA5ODMzMTQ3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="passive income | generational wealth" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528713221337-4c0148dc227c?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxNHx8TXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwUmVhbCUyMEVzdGF0ZSUyMEludmVzdG1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA5ODMzMTQ3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Maximizing Returns through Appreciation</h3><p>In addition to rental income, multi-family properties can also appreciate in value over time. As the demand for rental properties increases, so does their value. By investing in multi-family properties, you have the potential to benefit from both rental income and property appreciation, further maximizing your returns.</p><figure id="figure-byewlw0d8slthihfjt"><img id="byewlw0d8slthihfjt" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1487955597253-853d8b4c4c62?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8cHJvcGVydHklMjBhcHByZWNpYXRpb258ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA5ODMzMTA1fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="property appreciation" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1487955597253-853d8b4c4c62?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8cHJvcGVydHklMjBhcHByZWNpYXRpb258ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA5ODMzMTA1fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Investing Strategies for Multi-family Properties</h3><p>When diversifying with multi-family properties, it's important to consider the following strategies:</p><ul><li><strong>Location:</strong> Choose properties in desirable locations with high rental demand.

Progress Update on Stephenville Project

<p>Welcome to our beginner's guide to self-storage investing! If you're considering entering the world of real estate investing, self-storage facilities can be an attractive option. In this guide, we'll walk you through the basics of self-storage investing and provide you with the information you need to get started.</p><h2>Understanding Self-Storage Investing</h2><p>Self-storage investing involves purchasing or developing self-storage facilities to generate rental income. These facilities offer individuals and businesses a secure space to store their belongings, making them a popular choice for those in need of extra storage.</p><figure id="figure-kz063fj7zklsan3t8w"><img id="kz063fj7zklsan3t8w" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1600718800089-353dc75b7bfd?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyfHxzZWxmJTIwc3RvcmFnZXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDcyNDAyOTR8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="self storage" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1600718800089-353dc75b7bfd?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyfHxzZWxmJTIwc3RvcmFnZXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDcyNDAyOTR8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p> </p><h3>Benefits of Self-Storage Investing</h3><p>There are several benefits to investing in self-storage properties, including:</p><ul><li>Stable income: Self-storage facilities often provide a steady stream of income, as tenants typically sign long-term contracts.</li><li>Low maintenance: Compared to other types of real estate, self-storage facilities require minimal day-to-day maintenance.</li><li>Resilience: Self-storage properties tend to be less affected by economic downturns, making them a relatively stable investment option.</li></ul><h3>Factors to Consider</h3><p>Prior to immersing yourself in self-storage investments, it's crucial to take into account the following considerations:</p><p>When contemplating investment in self-storage, a thorough examination of the surrounding market conditions is imperative. Is there a consistent trend in population and job growth? What is the predominant housing scenario—more homeowners or renters? Additionally, consider the proximity of the location to university campuses, residential areas, or businesses.</p><p>Given that self-storage is a business highly dependent on micro-locations, it's advisable to scrutinize these metrics within a 3- to 5-mile radius of a facility. Conducting comprehensive research on local market conditions provides a clearer picture of the viability of acquiring a specific property.</p><p>It's paramount to assess the level of competition within your selected market radius. If numerous self-storage facilities already exist nearby, attracting new tenants might be more challenging compared to a scenario with limited options. Additionally, consider the presence of facilities under construction or in the planning stages, as these can influence your property in the future.</p><p>When evaluating competition, examining the market's saturation level can be beneficial. The saturation level is determined by the gross square feet of storage space available per person.

a pile of letters that spell out the word war

<p>When it comes to evaluating the financial performance of an investment, two commonly used metrics are Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Accounting Rate of Return (ARR). While both are used to assess the potential profitability of an investment, they have distinct differences in their calculation and interpretation.</p><h3>Internal Rate of Return (IRR)</h3><p><strong>IRR</strong> is a metric used to estimate the profitability of an investment by calculating the annualized rate of return that makes the net present value of all cash flows from the investment equal to zero. In simpler terms, it represents the percentage return on an investment over a specific period of time, taking into account the timing and amount of cash flows.</p><figure id="figure-4606b6nekdlrzpnqi2"><img id="4606b6nekdlrzpnqi2" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528425646626-fcc5dd57daf5?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNXx8TXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwUmVhbCUyMEVzdGF0ZSUyMEludmVzdG1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA2NTgwMDYwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="woman holding boy during daytime" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528425646626-fcc5dd57daf5?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNXx8TXVsdGktZmFtaWx5JTIwUmVhbCUyMEVzdGF0ZSUyMEludmVzdG1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA2NTgwMDYwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p> </p><h3>Accounting Rate of Return (ARR)</h3><p><strong>ARR</strong>, on the other hand, is a financial ratio used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing the average accounting profit to the average investment made in the project. It is often expressed as a percentage and provides a simple way to assess the return on investment based on accounting profits.</p><figure id="figure-cs0oads8rtlrzpnrbg"><img id="cs0oads8rtlrzpnrbg" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1559526324-4b87b5e36e44?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw5fHxhY2NvdW50aW5nJTIwcmF0ZSUyMG9mJTIwcmV0dXJufGVufDB8fHx8MTcwNjU3OTk4NHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="accounting rate of return" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1559526324-4b87b5e36e44?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw5fHxhY2NvdW50aW5nJTIwcmF0ZSUyMG9mJTIwcmV0dXJufGVufDB8fHx8MTcwNjU3OTk4NHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p> </p><h3>Key Differences</h3><p>One of the main differences between IRR and ARR lies in their calculation method. IRR is calculated based on the time value of money, taking into consideration the timing and magnitude of cash flows, while ARR is calculated using accounting profits and the average investment.</p><p>Another important distinction is in their interpretation. IRR provides a more comprehensive picture of the potential return on an investment, considering the time value of money and the cash flow pattern, whereas ARR focuses solely on accounting profits and does not consider the timing of cash flows.</p><figure id="figure-9mjy1qzo7ylrzpnszf"><img id="9mjy1qzo7ylrzpnszf" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1553729459-efe14ef6055d?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw0fHxpbnZlc3RtZW50JTIwY29tcGFyaXNvbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDY1Nzk5ODZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="investment comparison" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1553729459-efe14ef6055d?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw0fHxpbnZlc3RtZW50JTIwY29tcGFyaXNvbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MDY1Nzk5ODZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p> </p><h3>Application in Decision Making</h3><p>IRR is often used to compare the potential returns of different investment opportunities and to make decisions on whether to proceed with a project. It helps in identifying the maximum rate of return a project can generate and is particularly useful in capital budgeting decisions.</p><p>ARR, on the other hand, is commonly used in performance evaluation and is more suitable for assessing the profitability of a project from an accounting perspective. It provides a straightforward measure of the return on investment based on accounting profits.</p><figure id="figure-wr8e01c0cglrzpnuei"><img id="wr8e01c0cglrzpnuei" src="https://images.unsplash.com/flagged/photo-1564767609342-620cb19b2357?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOXx8aW52ZXN0bWVudCUyMGRlY2lzaW9ufGVufDB8fHx8MTcwNjU3OTk4OHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="investment decision" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/flagged/photo-1564767609342-620cb19b2357?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOXx8aW52ZXN0bWVudCUyMGRlY2lzaW9ufGVufDB8fHx8MTcwNjU3OTk4OHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p> </p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>While both IRR and ARR are used to evaluate the profitability of investments, they differ in their calculation method, interpretation, and application.
