Episode Breakdown
Market Conditions and Opportunities
The episode begins with Peter and Nathan discussing how the current real estate market is facing challenges due to factors like inflation, rising interest rates, and an increased supply of multifamily properties. However, they also share that challenges also present opportunities for investors.
Despite the challenges, there are still opportunities to be found in the market. The recent softness in the market has led to lower pricing and reduced competition, making it a good time to invest.
MLG Capital’s Investment Strategy
Nathan shares how MLG Capital focuses on buying properties at a discount to their fair market value. They believe that the current market conditions, such as lower occupancy rates and higher interest rates, are temporary and will eventually improve.
The company’s strategy is to acquire properties in areas with strong long-term jobs and population growth. They are also interested in properties that can be value-added through renovations or improvements.
Tax Benefits for Investors
Nathan continues by talking about how MLG Capital emphasizes the tax benefits of investing in their funds. They offer investors the opportunity to pass through depreciation losses, which can offset other income and reduce tax liability.
The company has conducted case studies that demonstrate how investors can potentially benefit from tax savings through repeated investments in their funds.
MLG Capital’s Fund Structure
In response to a question about funds, Nathan shares how MLG Capital raises funds through a syndication model, where investors pool their capital to invest in a diversified portfolio of properties. The company typically acquires 25-35 properties per fund, with an average investment range of $15-25 million per property.
Investors in the fund own a proportionate share of all properties in the portfolio. MLG Capital offers investors the option to invest in the fund at different stages, with different benefits depending on when they invest.
Legacy Fund and Future Plans
To conclude the episode, Nathan shares with listeners how MLG Capital is also offering a new product called the Legacy Fund, designed for investors who want to transition from active ownership of real estate to a more passive approach. The Legacy Fund allows investors to contribute their properties in exchange for shares in the fund, providing diversification and potential tax benefits.
The company is excited about the future and plans to continue investing in the real estate market. They believe that the current opportunities will not last forever and that it is important to act now to capitalize on them.
