Show Notes
Brent Sprenkle is a Commercial Real Estate broker with a company called Berkadia. He is situated in Los Angeles. He's been in the business for about 22 years. He primarily sells apartment buildings here and locally. He also tries to buy apartment buildings here and there when he can. He helped a lot of people avoid paying capital gains by engaging in 1031 exchanges or doing some other creative things. He also wrote a book, A Billion-Dollar Portfolio.
Brent Sprenkle is also a Math guy. He actually has a Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Math. He worked on DirecTV satellites for about three years, it was not as exciting as it sounds and as it turns out, he wasn't that great of an Engineer. This was his turning point. He moved on to a new career, influenced by friends to buy apartment buildings. One of the things that he believes really helped him was that he was very quick with Math. He can look at a deal and size it up to figure out what it was worth, how to evaluate it. But more importantly, as a principle for buying properties, he can pretty quickly look at a deal and determine if there's a look halfway decent on the surface.
In our conversation, we discussed:
- How to make sure you're underwriting a deal correctly?
- Overview of Deferred Sales Trust
- Brand New Depreciation Schedule
- State of the multifamily market
