Send us Fan MailThe apartment market has been getting kicked in the teeth for a few years now — values down, days on market up, and rates climbing again instead of falling. In this conversation, Cody Charnell and I go back and forth on what's actually happening in the Long Beach 5+ unit market, why our buyers are still buying, and the ADU mistake that's quietly costing fourplex owners real money.If you're an owner waiting for rates to drop before you sell, you need to hear the two-to-three year outlook we're working with. And if you're a buyer sitting on the sidelines because rates are high, you may be looking at this backwards.Juan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

Send us Fan MailFour investors sat down at our monthly 4-Doors to More Doors meetup and walked through exactly how they built their portfolios. Not theory. First deals, real street corners, real numbers, and the mistakes they'd tell you to avoid.Brad went from zero to more than 400 doors and left his corporate job. Mark has built 24 ADUs and started in the late 1970s when banks simply weren't lending. Brian owns multifamily across Long Beach plus self-storage and has never chased a cheaper market out of state. Victor came into real estate by accident and now operates more than 20 Jersey Mike's locations alongside his apartment portfolio.None of them were handed a building.

Send us Fan MailInvestors chase the highest cap rate. Investors also want the building that doesn't need work. You almost never get both in the same deal, because renovated product trades at a compressed cap rate and the high-cap deals are the ones that need a contractor on speed dial.This one breaks that rule.Cody and I are walking through our newest listing at 5529 Dairy Ave in North Long Beach. It's 10 units, taken down to the studs and rebuilt: new roof, new plumbing, new electrical, new windows, tankless water heaters, high-end finishes in every unit. Asking price is $3.35M, which prices it at a 10.87 gross rent multiplier and a 7% cap rate on current rents.For context, the Long Beach average over the last 12 months on 5+ unit properties is an 11 GRM and a 6.4% cap. This building beats the market on both, and normally the only properties that beat the market are the ones that still need a lot of work.Juan Huizar 📞 (562) 307-0838https://sageregroup.com/team/juan-huizar/DRE #01417642Cody Charnell📞 (562) 896-3851https://sageregroup.com/team/cody-charnell/DRE #01950585Juan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

Send us Fan MailIf you think you need wealthy parents or generational wealth to build a real estate portfolio — this video is proof that you don't. Juan Huizar, President of Sage Real Estate, immigrated from La Victorina, Zacatecas, Mexico at age four. His family walked through the desert for a better life, settled in California's Central Valley, and by nine years old Juan was working the garlic fields for $10 a day. Today he owns apartment buildings, commercial property, and a business in one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S. In this video, Juan shares the full story — the village with a dirt floor and no running water, the years of field work that gave him his hunger, the mentor (Mark Malan) who taught him that real estate is how you build lasting wealth, and the exact first steps he took: a fix-and-flip condo at 23 that turned into $35,000, then a triplex, and 20+ years later an 8-unit building, a 10-unit building, and two laundromats bought in a single 12-month stretch.Watch the video: https://youtu.be/gc7xdEc224QJuan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

Send us Fan MailGot an apartment building with a unit that's "non-conforming," "grandfathered," or flat-out unpermitted? You're not alone — in Long Beach, a huge share of older buildings have been chopped up over the decades, and most owners are stuck. You can't count that income at the bank, you're carrying liability if a tenant gets hurt, and it quietly drags down your property's value.In this episode, Juan Huizar and Cody Charnell break down a new statewide California law that finally creates a real, streamlined pathway to legalize an existing unpermitted unit — without the full cost, fees, and energy standards of building a brand-new ADU.
