Episode #29: Disposition with Michael Becker

Going full cycle on deals is often very important, particularly when you’re trying to build a track record. But seeing a deal through till the projected end isn’t always necessary if returns are high before this point. Today's guest, Michael Becker, Principal at SPI Advisory, is here to share more on disposition with us. In this show, Michael sheds light on a host of disposition-related topics, such as SPI’s adaptive approach to selling their properties, why he believes that going full cycle is necessary for newer operators and the importance of not being over-distributed when exiting a deal.
