E69: Risk vs. Reward in Real Estate Financing

The Lone Star Capital Podcast

In the latest episode of the Lone Star Capital Podcast, Craig McGrouther and I explore strategies for real estate investors navigating the volatile debt market, focusing on the nuances of short-term and long-term interest rates and their impact on deals right now. We discuss the recent rapid rise in long-term treasury yields, complicating underwriting and feasibility for transacting.
We emphasize the need for a buffer to accommodate interest rate fluctuations and highlight our unique approach using tax-exempt financing. By partnering with nonprofits and housing authorities, we enhance the financial viability of our investments through higher net operating incomes and debt coverage ratios, which allows for more favorable financing terms. This strategy mitigates the challenges of the high-rate environment, offering traditional investors an example of how innovative financing solutions can improve the risk-return profile of real estate investments.
