Any comments about your experience so far in the Warrior Program?

Love the Warrior Program. Great Warriors who are always looking to help everyone. I love giving back and helping others in the group and just joined as a coach.

How did you find this property?

Broker relationship. The existing buyer was dragging their feet on PSA and the broker brought us in to take over and get the deal done.

How did you structure the financing of this property?

Bridge debt.

Was this a joint venture or syndication?

Syndication.

How did you raise the equity?

We raised and some other partners raised as well.

What was the equity raise?

$4M

What are some hurdles you had to overcome to get this deal done?

Our biggest hurdle is we had to pull a large check writer (25% of the equity) out of the deal a week before closing and had to scramble to fill the gap.

What are some of the lessons you learned with this deal?

 
Several:
 
– The risk of a large check writer falling out
– The specific city we are in has a 90 eviction notice period.
– We have a very experience asset manager on our team. Get out of his way and let him work his magic.
