Suggested Interview Questions
What do you find so compelling about real estate as an investment vehicle?
Tim will share his experiences with a variety of investments, including REITs, and why he loves real estate. Key takeaway: Real estate investments are tax-advantaged physical assets with a simple and controllable business plan.
Why don't you like single-family rentals?
Tim will share his rental property experiences with both single-family and multifamily (apartments). Key takeaway: Vacancies and repairs can destroy single-family rental income and they are subject to market-area comparables. In contrast, apartment buildings are financially more forgiving with scale and property values are based on income.
Which real estate investing approach is better, active or passive?
Tim will compare and contrast his experiences with passive investing and active investing. Key takeaway: Passive investing in real estate, and passive income, is the holy grail of investing and the key to financial freedom.
Why is cash-flow important in this economy?
Tim will discuss what an “asset” is, what debt-service coverage ratios (DSCR) are, and how cash-flow mitigates risk. Key takeaway: Real estate is a very low-risk asset class. It is a hard asset that can be insured and the main reason anyone loses money in real estate is having to sell when they don’t want to.
What trends do you see taking place in multifamily and how do you think they will affect the asset class?
