Lots of new followers, so I thought I would introduce myself. I run Tekton Group, a REPE boutique, in Denver CO. We invest in B/C multifamily properties on the Colorado Front Range. We have bought over 500 units here in the last 7 years.

I have been a professional investor for 25 years. I was taught early on that there is no reward without risk and that a true investor INTENTIONALLY manages the risk that she takes. 7 years into my real estate investing career here are a few of my risk management steps.

Real estate investors are yield obsessed. Our core valuation metric, Cap Rate, is literally unlevered yield on purchase price. I have gotten a few questions on the difference between cap rate and Unlevered Yield to Cost (UYtC). A thread on the differences👇🏼

Between 2016 and 2018, we bought 448 apartment units across 17 buildings in one of the worst neighborhoods in metro Denver. We paid an average of $91.6k / unit for the properties (all market rate), and were reportedly the largest sub-institutional landlord in the submarket.

This is the first picture in the history of our family to have three generations of Bodhi men. (To be fair, my Dad changed his last name from Smith to Bodhi, so my son is the first Bodhi grandson).

6) I found it very hard to balance being a good human with my fiduciary responsibilities to my investors I officed out of 2 of our buildings (bad idea!) and was regularly on-site at all of our buildings. Despite my claims to “work for the owners”, tenants figured out who I was.

I get asked frequently for my f’cast of the Denver real estate cycle We don’t have one The key is to maintain consistent underwriting discipline through the cycle. When it is a buyer’s market, a lot of deals will pencil. When it is a sellers market, like now, few will.

Sh*t’s getting real-er. Project is progressing nicely. Framing should be done this week and builder is telling us we’ll be dried in by the end of July. Mtn views on one side and city on the other side. B+ part of Denver, 600’ from a light rail stop, in an OZ. #TuesdayOAC

Sh*t’s getting real on our ground up apartment development project. Framer’s are doing a great job and we should be topped off in July.

Hypothesis (potentially controversial?): While it is more profitable to build 200+ unit heavily amenitized apartment buildings tenants prefer to live in boutique-size (15-50u) less-amenitized new builds in the same location and will pay more for an identical unit

I just spoke to a friend who attended a conference panel recently with 3 MF sponsors representing about 40k units across the country. Those sponsors are expecting, on average, across the country, 17% rent growth in 2022! I guess that is how you get comfortable with 3caps!

Anyone know what is going on in the FL property insurance market? I just read that 3 insurers are no longer writing homeowner policies in FL Tip of the climate change spear? Some misguided legislation? Something else? TIA @EdelkopfYossi

Our business model is based on looking at every deal that fits our buy box, but waiting patiently for the “fat pitches”. Not a sexy business model and certainly not (personally) wealth-maximizing, but this is a model that makes sense to me and fits with my inv philosophy.

I believe strongly that behavioral discipline is a source of alpha. One of my personal strengths is being patient enough to wait for the fat pitches. I have structured a team and a biz that doesn’t force us to do mediocre deals - so we don’t, as we have skin in all our deals.

@JoeCassandra A 3.5% loan in a 6% world might be worth 85-90. Regulators might be pushing on the bank to recognize that loss and shore up their capital. Intimidating the borrower into refi-ing and getting back 100 cents on the dollar helps the bank. They def don’t want the asset.

A *challenge* of having children later in life is that there is a narrow window when your kids are old enough to appreciate experiences and your parents are still young enough to create new ones. My family went to NW Louisiana 2 weeks ago to explore our Creole heritage.

When dealing with unethical people (newsflash: nontrivial number of them in RE), a good lawyer is worth their weight in gold. We are fortunate to have a good one. That is it. That is the tweet.
