Warrior Win

Karl Schlobohm

I am a teacher turning CRE investor and have been a warrior for 2 years. I just closed my first deal on a storage development project in north Florida last week, and just closed today on a 27-unit apartment complex in GA.

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

I would not have made it this far this quickly without my learning and networking within the warrior group.

How did you find this property?

I called the listing agent and discovered that fellow Warrior Charlie Peters was selling.

How did you structure the financing of this property?

Charlie Peters seller-financed the property to our JV partnership.

Was this a joint venture or syndication?

Joint Venture.

How did you raise the equity?

I am gaining an equity stake in the value-add.

What was the equity raise?

0

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

This one didn’t have too many hurdles. Previous management did a great job maintaining the property and elevating occupancy – but they were charging 12%. We just didn’t need a whole management company to cover the 27 units. The other hurdle I faced in closing deals up to this point was that I wanted to build my own equity in commercial RE before investing capital. This gave me a way to earn equity without having to put down my retirement savings.

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

Network = net worth. If you’re approach is solutions-based, you will always find sellers and/or partners that are looking for solutions.
