In our latest episode of Multifamily Chronicles, we had the pleasure of hosting Salvatore Buscemi, a co-founder and partner at Brahmin Partners. He shared insights on his journey from working at Goldman Sachs to founding a family office focused on private real estate and venture investments. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation: ✅ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬: Sal emphasized the importance of being relationship-focused, not transactional. He stressed that long-term success comes from building trust and maintaining strong connections, especially in an industry where networking is crucial. ✅ 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭: Despite challenges in multifamily, Sal pointed out that the best time to invest in real estate is when the market is down. He shared that owners who bought within the last two years and couldn’t refinance are now feeling the pressure, creating potential opportunities for other investors to buy their assets at a discount. ✅ 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Sal’s advice for new investors is clear: before you even find a deal, start building relationships with potential investors. Additionally, look for sponsors who show conviction by investing a significant amount of their own equity—5% is cute, but 10% or more shows real commitment. ✅ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞: Sal stays on top of market trends by subscribing to newsletters and analyzing global events. He noted that while financial media can be biased, paying attention to what’s happening behind the scenes and understanding the broader economic picture is crucial for making informed investment decisions. These insights provide a unique perspective on the importance of relationships, market timing, and capital raising in the real estate world.

Skip the bidding wars and frenzy! In multifamily acquisitions, patience is a superpower. Sure, a hot deal can be tempting, but waiting for the right property sets you up for long-term success. Here's why: The right fit: Don't settle for a property that doesn't align with your investment goals. Being patient allows you to find a deal that perfectly complements your strategy. Hidden problems: A fresh coat of paint can't hide structural issues. Waiting allows for a thorough inspection, potentially saving you from costly surprises down the road. Market fluctuations: Markets ebb and flow. Patience allows you to enter when prices are favorable, maximizing your return on investment. Remember: The best deals come to those who wait. Focus on building your knowledge, network, and capital. When the perfect property appears, you'll be ready to strike! Want to learn more about crafting a patient and profitable acquisition strategy? DM me "PATIENCE" and let's chat! ** Hello! My name is AJ Smith. I'm an Iowa native who buys and operates multifamily real estate in the Midwest. I buy value add deals with private money lenders and equity partners to generate excellent risk adjusted returns. If you are interested in learning more about how we can work together, send me a DM and let's start the conversation.**
