Real Deals Gone Wrong in 2022
with Dean Rogers*, Marcel Bonee & Derek Harms
How do you think you gain the most experience investing in real estate? Well, you usually learn the most from your losses and mistakes. We’re all experiencing the shifting real estate market. Our panelists grew their portfolios and sold dozens of properties while riding the “appreciation wave” the past couple of years. They continue to do so in 2022, but have started to LOSE money on recent real estate investments. What better way to learn what NOT to do than to hear real-life examples of deals-gone-wrong. This panel of experienced investors (over 1000+ properties) will detail their most recent projects that LOST money. NSDREI President, Derek Harms, will engage the other panelists with some questions like these:
- With the benefit of hindsight, what would you have done differently?
- How have you adjusted your underwriting?
- How are you still making profitable deals in the current market?
- What would you advise investors do who are looking for their next or first deal?
- Have you had to change your acquisition strategy?
- How do you approach sellers who may have refinanced at a 2-3% interest rate?
- What kind of concessions have you had to make to sell properties?
- Do you see the market flattening out or continuing to dive?
