Langsford baby #3 is on the way! Andrew Langsford has some advice specific to having kids in your 40s. Take a read below!

The 119-Unit Adriana – Land acquisition and ground up development, construction completed in 2018.   Leased up and stabilized asset. The story:   Find the opportunity:   Driving downtown Des Moines, I saw an opportunity that had potential and upside. We decided to send the entire downtown Des Moines letters saying “We’re interested in buying your property.”   Vision:   I took the vision to one of our newer partners at the time, who was playing in the NBA, and now has become a trusted friend and partner, and he liked the idea. He said “Lets do it.” We ended up acquiring multiple parcels in downtown Des Moines, with cash flow called a “covered land play.”   Now came increasing the value and operations:   How could we increase density? Raise the height limit.   I told my partner, "I’m going to get the height limit increased." I had never done this before but am never one to shy away from a big challenge. I met with almost every council member to build real relationships. Low and behold, the city wanted to meet with me. They liked what we had to say. This took around 5 years though.    How can we reduce costs to get this to pencil? We asked the city for lower parking requirements, which reduced one level of underground parking.   How to fund the deal? We did a CO-GP structure with an experienced Tax Credit Operator and manager. We raised approximately $6M by selling tax credits.   We had heard the city is not easy to work with. Don’t always believe what you hear. One planner I knew his Mom had health concerns. He shared openly on his life and we talked city planning 20% of the time, life 80% of the time. When I called, it was "How are you? How's the family?" I genuinely cared.    We faced many problems, but overcame every one. The biggest:   Final design review. The city said our building was too big and we had a FAR issue. They said we had to redesign our entire building.    Two ways to solve a FAR issue is you either make your building smaller, or make your land larger. We bought the sidewalks from the city through public process and passed with 100% votes with the council thanking me, while I sat in the front row, for bringing a great opportunity to Des Moines. That was a mountaintop moment.    How much equity do we have? A lot! (Due to the size of this project and partners involved, I’m refraining from posting specifics for privacy reasons)    DM me if you’re interested in investing in similar syndications or our soon to be launch of our Venture Multifamily Growth Fund 1! Most of our target acquisitions at this point are 100+ unit projects.   *Disclaimer: For accredited investors only. Performance shown are targeted returns and are not guaranteed. Target Net Total Return and Target Net Cash Yield are net of all fees.   #venturerealestategroup #TheAdriana #entrepreneur #teamventure #teamvreg #realestatemarket #investmentrealestate #commercialrealestate #realestate #multifamily #invest #develop #build

Arbol Grande Current Multifamily Renovation Project Update!   We closed on this Olympia 25-unit multi-family property in January, 2023, Arbol Grande Apartments. Since then, we have made significant progress on this project. DM us if you’re interested in investing in similar syndications or our soon to be launch of our Venture Multifamily Growth Fund 1! Most of our acquisitions at this point are 100+ unit projects. - Fully renovated & leased 9 units (2 bed, 2 bath, 1,040 sq. ft.)   - Repaved the entire parking lot   - New exterior paint   - One newly renovated short-term rental with consistent bookings   - Approved permits to convert leasing office into studio – means higher NOI   Rehab tips:   - First impressions are critical! The second a tenant lays eyes on the property should be taken into account. Down to their experience on the property to the very second they leave the property. What do they really see?   - Have a contingency budget. Many unplanned surprises happen and it is best to have those costs accounted for beforehand.   - Insurance rates are unfortunately rising. Plan accordingly.   - Watch your vacancies for your Debt-Service Coverage Ratio.   - Staying on schedule and on budget, takes consistent hands on day to day teamwork & involvement.   We look forward to continuous progress toward the completion of this value-ad project!   *Disclaimer: For accredited investors only.

“An opportunity with a billionaire and why we walked from the deal”   We'll keep this story brief and to the point for the LinkedIn community.   - We were asked to joint venture on a 3-project multi-family, mixed-use, & ground-up development project - A Co-GP structure with two general partners  - We brought the expertise and team to get this done - The billionaire owner of the properties flew in for the lunch meeting - Throughout the meeting, we realized we had very different principals including our definition of honor, honesty, respect, and trust, which we put at the forefront of our business - We were not aligned in those areas and given our differences, it just wasn't the best fit or right opportunity for us, and our investors   In a big project like this, alignment in values and principles isn't just important, it's everything. Especially if things go wrong, which happens as we all know. What we learned over the years is to stay true to our principles and values as a company, and ensure our partners are on the same page, no matter how large the benefit may seem. Our reputation is built upon our strong relationships with each and every partner and investor who truly trusts us and our decisions. The team is critical.   To hear more about how our values drive business decisions, join us at our upcoming Investor Forum May 7th from 10:30am-2pm at the Bellevue Club where we will discuss "Real Estate Finance & Investing in Today's Economy" and "Family Office & Private Capital Trends in Alternative Assets."   Please RSVP soon as space is filling up using the following link: http://evite.me/Q3uYWvASCx or email [email protected] with any questions.   We look forward to seeing all who can attend there!   #ventureinvestorforum#Venture #syndication #Realestate #Realestateinvesting #PNWRealestate #Invest #InvestorForum #Entrepreneur #Entrepreneurship #TeamVenture #TeamVREG #Realestatemarket #Seattle #Pugetsound #develop #build 

"I'M NOT LUCKY. I EARNED IT."   A quote I heard real-time when I was with one of our former professional athlete partners having dinner on the east coast.   Here’s what happened: We were sitting at dinner when a few folks struck up a normal conversation and one of them said, "You're so lucky, you know, playing in the NBA." Before I could turn my head to see his reaction, he said, "I'm not lucky. I earned it."   This is a big lesson I learned, and something I often remind myself of. So many hardworking, successful people are misunderstood to be "lucky" for their successes.   He could've said, "All your hard work paid off." But this is something we typically only hear from people who see the day-to-day grind, and know what it takes. 99% don’t know but they think they do.   Investing in real estate requires a lot of grit including research, analysis, strategy, discipline and patience. Every successful deal is surely earned. A successful big portfolio, ha!   We invite you to join us at our upcoming Investor Forum where you'll learn from some of the top industry professionals who focus their time daily into continuing to learn and grow in this industry. People who can attest that all successful deals are backed by a load of preparation.   Featuring two panels this year, Panel 1 will discuss "Real Estate Finance & Investing in Today's Economy" and Panel 2 will discuss "Family Office & Private Capital Trends in Alternative Assets."   This forum is intended for high net worth investors, family offices, institutional level investors, and aspiring investors looking to expand their real estate portfolio and also to get acquainted with Venture Real Estate Group.   As we have done previously, we are saving 10 seats for UW Master of Science in Real Estate students. Additionally, the first 10 RSVPs will receive a bonus copy of VENTURE Magazine Volume 4 AND Volume 5, as well as Volume 6 - soon to be released!   Our goal is that you will leave this event having learned something new, and feeling more confident in real estate finance and trends in alternative assets.   Event Details: ·         Tuesday, May 7th from 10:30am - 2:00pm ·         Hosted at the Bellevue Club Ballroom ·         Complementary lunch and beverages will be provided   Please RSVP to reserve your spot as space does fill up by clicking the following link: http://evite.me/Q3uYWvASCx   We look forward to seeing everyone there!   #ventureinvestorforum#Venture #syndication #Realestate #Realestateinvesting #PNWRealestate #Invest #InvestorForum #Entrepreneur #Entrepreneurship #TeamVenture #TeamVREG #Realestatemarket #Seattle #Pugetsound #develop #build
