Join Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor's interview with expert investor David Lindahl as he shares strategies for succeeding in the evolving multifamily housing market. Lindahl will cover key trends, challenges, and opportunities as 2025 approaches. Whether you're experienced or just starting, you'll gain actionable insights to stay competitive and thrive.

Motivated Sellers and Opportunities
Lindahl explains how decreasing interest rates can lead to motivated sellers and buying opportunities. Buying during the market's down cycle may position investors for appreciation as conditions improve.

Currency Debasement & Hedging
Dave discusses real estate, gold, silver, and crypto as hedges against currency devaluation. Banks are reluctant to foreclose, but this could change with better resale prices.

Strategies for Underperforming Properties
When facing potential foreclosure, Dave advises exploring short sales, negotiating with lenders, and prioritizing a strong track record over foreclosure.

Market Cycles & Strategies
Understanding and adjusting to market cycles is crucial. Dave's book, 'Emerging Real Estate Markets,' dives into strategies for each cycle phase.

2025 Strategies & Networking
Dave emphasizes building networks, broker relationships, and starting locally before investing in emerging markets. Consistently making offers will be key in 2025.

Holy Trinity Criteria
For deals, aim for an 8% cap rate, 12% cash-on-cash return, and 1.6+ debt coverage ratio to mitigate risk.

Raising Capital
Shift from “asking for money” to offering diversification opportunities. Building relationships and networks is critical.

AI's Role in Real Estate
AI boosts efficiency in underwriting and deal sourcing. Lindahl mentions companies like Janover for AI-powered commercial loan sourcing.

Upcoming Events & Resources
Dave’s Ultimate Partnering event in Nashville and books like 'Multifamily Millions' offer additional insights.

Please join Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor as she interviews Yohannes Cramlet of Go Raise AI Syndication CRM. Their system can set you up to attract, grow, engage, and close more Investors faster and more efficiently than you can do on your own. They offer DIY or full concierge options that can help you capture, follow up with investor leads, and create content in no time. Unlike most investor management platforms that offer customer relationship managers (CRMs) as an afterthought, this is a true CRM system built specifically for real estate syndicators. Listen and learn how you can put it to work for you.

Overview of Go Raise AI (00:01:17)

Johannes Cramlet introduces himself and provides an overview of Go Raise AI. He explains that it is a CRM and marketing platform designed specifically for capital raisers and investor relations professionals in the real estate syndication and fund management space. The platform includes tools for managing contacts, automating follow-ups, creating email campaigns, hosting webinars, and building credibility with potential investors. Cramlet shares that through Go Raise AI, they have helped raise just under $100 million in capital over the past 48 months.

Importance of Developing Relationships (00:07:01)

Taylor and Cramlet discuss the importance of developing relationships with potential investors, as required by SEC regulations for certain types of securities offerings. They emphasize the need to document these relationships, have suitability conversations, and understand the investors' goals and interests before making offers. Cramlet highlights how Go Raise AI's CRM and automation features can assist with this process while saving time and effort.

Differentiating Go Raise AI from Other Platforms (00:44:10)

Taylor and Cramlet clarify the differences between Go Raise AI and other platforms like investor management software and crowdfunding platforms. Go Raise AI is focused on building relationships and marketing before deals are available, while investor management software is used to manage investors and deals once they are in place. Crowdfunding platforms, on the other hand, market deals to their own databases of investors for a fee, but may not be suitable for those without a substantial track record.

Using AI and Automation (00:30:08)

Cramlet discusses how Go Raise AI leverages AI and automation to streamline various tasks, such as generating email subject lines, creating content, and automating follow-ups. He emphasizes the importance of using technology to save time on administrative tasks, allowing capital raisers to focus on building personal connections and having meaningful conversations with potential investors.

Audience Questions and Resources (00:42:11)

Towards the end of the video, Taylor and Cramlet address questions from the audience, including inquiries about the types of investors using Go Raise AI, integrating broker relationships, and leveraging AI for content creation. They also provide information on how to access Taylor's books on raising capital legally and schedule consultations with their respective teams.
