EP239 How He Fixes Broken Apartments with Jerome Myers

My guest today is a big fan of the Keanu Reeves movie "The Matrix", and he believes that most people really are living in the Matrix and it's his job to help them escape. He does this by teaching them the benefits of multifamily and apartment real estate investing Since leaving a successful corporate America career, Jerome Myers has become a thought leader in the multifamily development space.  Jerome leads The Myers Development Group which focuses on buying broken apartment building businesses and using innovative thinking and solid execution strategies to optimize the operational efficiency of the business.  Jerome asset manages 90 units and 90,000 square feet of workforce housing across Virginia and North Carolina and he's on a mission to hold 1,000 doors in the next 8 years.  He also hosts the podcast "Myers Methods Presents Multifamily Missteps". Today Jerome will take us through the process of acquiring, rehabbing and profiting from two of his multifamily properties, and we'll also discuss why he prefers Joint Ventures over Syndications, why it's so important to know how to convey the "Story" when applying for a loan, and how critical it is to establish a relationship with your lenders.
