The Science of Flipping - Stop Buying Single Family Homes — Here's How to Build Real Wealth with Multifamily Real Estate

Episode Date: April 24, 2026

If you're looking to build passive income through multifamily real estate, Elevest Capital gives you access to exclusive apartment investments not available to the public. Non-accredited investors can participate with as little as $10,000. Get on the Investor List: lfscapital.com     In this episode of The MORE Show, I sit down once again with my good friend and business partner Adam Williams, Founder and CEO of Elevest Capital, for a raw and real conversation about what it truly takes to build lasting wealth through real estate. I open up about one of the most painful chapters of my career — losing millions of dollars after scaling too fast, trusting the wrong person, and being too stubborn to pivot out of single family despite being warned by both Adam and Grant Cardone. Rather than wallow in it, I want this story to empower you: there are smarter, more scalable, and more tax-efficient ways to build wealth than grinding through fix-and-flip or single family rentals. Adam breaks down why right now is a once-in-a-cycle perfect storm for multifamily apartment investing — with properties trading at 30-40% discounts, organic rent growth returning, demand outpacing supply, and 100% bonus depreciation back on the table thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill — and how through the MORE Club, everyday investors can get into $40M apartment deals with as little as $10,000, even without being accredited. This episode is about getting out of your own way, finding the right community, and taking real action toward financial freedom.     About Justin: Justin Colby is the host of The Entrepreneur DNA and The Science of Flipping podcasts and a best-selling author.

I stand now today at the Moore Show as someone who has enough scars to help people through the true workings of this business. We were joking. There's all these gurus that don't even do deals. I want to protect people's money as much as I want to help them make money. You just need to have access. You need to have the right community. You need to have the right knowledge. You need to have the right people around you. You need to build the right team and the right ecosystem. And there's so much misinformation out there that I think that it's really awesome for you and I now to be able to create this ecosystem between the show, the club, and the live events where people can get all those pieces of the puzzle.

What is up? The Moore Show Family episode number two, part two is back with my man, Adam Williams. Now, this is always brought to you by Timeformore.com, a community that we are trying to take everyone from learning real estate to doing real estate. Doesn't matter the vertical. We want you to understand how to do it. but more importantly we want you to get engaged get in the game put on your helmet and start doing deals with us adam williams is back for part two put on your helmet i like that strap up your boots

knee pads you're going to need them that's it that's what it's all about that our community is all about one thing and it's actually doing deals versus just sitting there watching and learning but this is one of the things that i love about you justin is you just keep it so freaking real you know you you see these coaches and gurus and nonsense out there that they just tell you all the, you're going to make millions of dollars. And they've never done a deal. Oh. Because if they had done a deal, they wouldn't be saying that.

Well, even saying what you say. Yeah, you make some money. Yeah, you get beat up sometimes. But you're going to do some deals. Well, even more frustrating is COVID gave the opportunity. All these people did like one or two deals. Yeah. And then they became coaches because COVID.

So that was really frustrating. But back to your point about you're going to make some money. There's no doubt. Yeah, you're going to lose some money to. So I want to kind of talk about why we together started the Moore show, the Moore Club. And obviously, you know, more events came from kind of this, this transition that I had that you and I were, you know, are ready looking at doing this. But, you know, the science of flipping has been around for 13 years.

That's how you found me as we talked about. I've been flipping homes for almost 20, 19 years. I've been doing that game. That's awesome. And it was just kind of time. And sometimes you don't realize until it's a little too late that it's time to change the chapter. put the book down, do the thing that needs to be done. And the impetus for this big transition within my own world and my own personal business

is because it's one thing to be able to go out and make a lot of money, but it's another thing to be able to create wealth. And I put out a book last year called Flipping to Wealth. And I really, with all my heart, wanted people to understand doing the transactional business is great. I love wholesaling and flipping. I'll never not say it's a great way to make money, but it doesn't turn into wealth. And so that's really where you and I started to resonate.

Like, hey, we need to start doing things that can help people understand true financial freedom, how to really invest, how to really do something for your future beyond just the immediate gratification. Yeah. Yeah, no, I couldn't agree more. And it's interesting because I've also been in this game 21 years now. I started investing in real estate in 2004. And I can get into my journey here in a bit. But what I've realized is that most people that first get into investing in real estate, they think they have to start in this specific spot.

People generally either have time or they have money. A lot of times people don't have both. Sometimes they have neither. But a lot of times you either have a lot of time available where you got money. And so people like put themselves in a box of, okay, well, I got to start wholesaling only because it's the lowest barrier to entry. Or I've got to buy a single family residence because that's what I'm supposed. to do first. And the truth of the matter is you don't have to put yourself in a box. You can have no time and no money. I mean, you have a little bit of you. You have a little bit of

time. But you got basically not a little extra time and not any, a lot of extra money and get into a 200 unit apartment deal. Yeah. Right. You just need to have access. You need to have the right community. You need to have the right knowledge. You need to have the right people around you. You need to build the right team and the right ecosystem. And there's so much misinformation out there, right? that I think that it's really awesome for you and I now to be able to create this ecosystem between the show, the club, and the live events where people can get all those pieces of the puzzle.

Yeah. Right? Yeah, you know, one thing I want to try to impress upon everyone out there listening. They know me as a fix and flipper, but you can make a lot of money, but you can lose a lot. And what happened to me in 2024, you obviously know, but I want everyone to understand this transition is I was challenged by Grant Cardone back in 2024.

on his show to go by 3,000 doors in 36 months. And when you're on his show, you kind of just say yes to anything. He could have said anything. I'm like, okay, I'll do. I'll go to do it. But I wanted to be stubborn and do it in the single family space, not the apartment space. Because I just wanted to show Grant, you could do it in the single family space too. That was stubborn.

But because of that, I was running at such a pace because I could. I understood how to raise capital. I understood how to utilize homes. I understood construction. I basically went so fast. that I broke the machine. Yeah. And that breaking in the machine

is going to cost me millions and millions of dollars and has been very damaging to the functional business that I built for 20 years, right? And at the very same time, not only Grant kind of putting me in a headlock saying, hey, you're better than this,

you need to get into apartments, you need to be able to understand the bigger vision. You were also basically saying, simultaneously. Yeah. Like, hey, dude, we have a world that we can create a lot of money for ourselves.

We can create a lot of wealth for ourselves. We can really set this up in a way. The more show and the more club, that can make sense for both of us. But I didn't really want to hear it. And because of my own stubbornness and ego and not being able to get out of my own way, it's going to cost me millions.

And I've basically, I've had to liquidate my entire portfolio. And I want everyone to hear this story, not to say, whoa, is Justin. Absolutely not. In fact, I actually want to be this empowerment message. Yeah. There's just better ways to do it. Before we dive in, I want to talk to you about L of S Capital.

I stand now today at The Moore Show as someone who has enough scars to help people through the true workings of this business. We were joking. There's all these gurus that don't even do deals. I want to protect people's money as much as I want to help them make money. Yeah. Right?

Yeah. I know the details of your story because you and I are close friends. We're partners on some other businesses. We're obviously partner on more. Partners on more. And I know you're not going to get into details on here because there's some legal stuff and some non-discipline. closure stuff, but, you know, if it's okay to say, you, you were running a really good business. I mean, you had been doing what you were doing on a smaller scale for 15, 17, 18 years successfully.

And not only doing it yourself, but teaching other people successfully how to do it. And I know that because I hired you as a coach and you taught me some things that I didn't know in my 20 year career. Yeah. And you and I partnered on a bunch of deals. And you had a bet one bad actor coming to your world. We're not going to name any names because it's not, you know, fair to do that on the show and there's some legal stuff. But you had a bad actor coming to your world that you trusted. Yeah.

And I know you'll never make excuses. You allowed it to happen because you were the guy steering the ship and you trusted them. But it just goes to show how easy one bad person coming into your world that basically lied to you and defrauded you out of millions and millions and millions of dollars. And now they disappear. You're left holding the bag. Not only your time, your money, your portfolio of real estate. that you built over the years, your reputation in some circumstances can come crumbling down in one bad decision. And you know, you're never going to be able to mitigate that 100%.

Yeah. Right. There are bad actors everywhere. But what we hope we can help is foster a community and relationships and a network of real people that we filter. Real people will one slip through, I don't know. But for the most part, real people that we're doing deals with that we vetted, that we know these people are actually doing what they say they're doing to help create that ecosystem where we can all get involved in this world of investing in real estate and hopefully avoid those pitfalls that you so painfully have gone through, man. You know, listen, I was being stubborn.

You were literally putting me in a head like, hey, bro, apartments, let's do this thing. You got this. I got this. It's a better vertical. I didn't want to hear at the time. Grant was saying the same thing. Yeah. I was like, oh, I'll do it, Grant, but I'll do it.

Single fan, right? Just stubborn. But, you know, listen, this isn't a scare tactic. I don't want people to be fearful. What I'd actually rather is people take that as, oh, shit, like, they've been through it. And there's better ways to do it. And to not listen to what we just said and be scared to get into real estate. It really should be empowering to get into real estate the right way.

Absolutely. Every single person in the United States should be a real estate investor. Of course. Whether you work a full-time job, whether you run your own business doing something completely different, you 100% should be investing in real estate. And I don't care whether you're fixing flipping, whether you're burying, whether you're doing land deals or whether you're investing in multifamily like we do, right? You should be involved in real estate because that is the one thing that is going,

you cannot trade time for dollar and get wealthy. That is the one thing that is going to create wealth and compound. And I always say the eighth wonder of the world is compounding, right? Doubling your money every three to five years, doubling your passive income and your cash flow every three to five years. But the ninth wonder of the world is leverage. And when you can leverage other people's time, resources, expertise, money, skill sets, you can leverage that while you're running your business or you're doing your job over here that has nothing to do with real estate. And you're leveraging all that from one, two, three, four other people that you put around you on your team.

Dude, there's nothing else like it in the world. So is that even something is out there? Can people find those stuff of deals? I've been doing it. I mean, I've been doing it successfully for 20. I start a little bit about me for the people that don't know me. I started investing in real estate in 2004. I met a guy that was a couple years younger than me that was super rich.

And I was like, what are you doing and how can I get involved? And he owned a mortgage company, but he was like, that's not how I make my money. I invest in real estate. I said, show me how to do it. I want to partner with you. Long story short, we partnered in 2004. Him and I did 252 single family resident deals between 2004 and mid-2007. Wow.

We were cranking, right? And thanks to him, because I didn't know anything, right? He taught me everything I knew. I was just, when I get on something, I'm on it. You're going. About halfway through that in mid-2006, about 150 deals in, I said, there's no way I want to manage single families. It was a nightmare.

Yeah, we were making money. It sounded cool. It looked cool. But it was a nightmare. Management nightmare, a risk nightmare, like a bunch of people. It was tough. So I made this plan to transition fully into multifamily apartments. I said, why am I buying one door at a time?

We were doing like 30 deals a month. Yeah. I said, why am I buying one door at a time when I can buy two. 200 doors at a time. And it's the same amount or less work. You hear Grant say this all the time. He's like, I'd rather buy a 300 unit deal for 250 million bucks than a four unit. It's easier. Yeah. And it's less risk and all those things. So anyways, I transitioned into multifamily. I started investing as an LP or a limited partner and other operators deals. And I just did 30, 40 deals like over the next 15 years running my business, but I was investing in multifamily deals. And I learned everything I could about it. And then I started.

Elavest Capital in 2022. And now we, I just had all these people coming at me like you did saying, how can I get in your deals? How can I get involved in your deals? What are you doing? And I didn't have a legal structure to do that. So we formed L of S capital. We've been running since.

And like I said, last year we did eight deals, $212 million in real estate. Like we're doing these 100, 200, 300 unit apartment. You know you're involved in everyone. You're a partner. So we're doing these deals now. So when you say, can you get involved? 100%. And guess what? It isn't just Adam doing these deals. I have a team of over 300 people that I leverage their time, their resources, their capital, they're there, there, there.

Yeah. It's leverage, right? So that's what it is. Well, so how does someone take that in, understand how to get a part or be apart or get, see these deals? Like, how does someone get to L ofS Capital? Obviously, the website, L ofScapital.com, or you can reach out to Adam Williams. but how does someone that doesn't have proximity the way we do? You got to get proximity. And that's why I was so excited to create more with you. Because more, whether you just start watching the show and get a little get into it, whether you join the club and get deeper into it where the real proximity happens,

or whether you come attend a live event or all three, that is your in, period. Whether you do it with us or you go find something else like more, do it. If you want to truly do deals because you're not going to get involved. to doing these deals yourself. And you had 15 years before you hit a brick wall. Yeah. Most people do it in 17 days. They'll go out.

Here's what happens. I see this all the time. They go out. They say, I'm working my job. I made some money. I better go buy a single family residence or an Airbnb. They do it. They inevitably lose money.

Yep. And they go, I'm never doing real estate again. And they're done. That's it. And then they get to be 75 years old and they run out of money and they got to go be a Walmart greeter, which is super sad because I don't want to learn how to make money again and reinvent myself at 75 years old. There's a financial calculator that you built that's on L ofS website.

We'll share it with everybody. Yeah. But it's mind blowing when people think that they've been making proper investments, they've been saving up, putting in a 401k, they have $500,000 by the time they're 45, whatever the number is, right? You and I just did a call where you said, okay, if I'm 45 years old and I'm going to retire at 65, and I've put $500,000 into my investment up to this point. They're out of money by 83 years old.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a calculator nerd. So it's interesting. I'll build these calculators for myself and my wife and my family. And then I'll show them to people and they're like, you send it to me, please, right? And now you can go on these Versel, Vercel, whatever, and build these calculators yourself. And it's super cool. I actually had to go like do it on spreadsheets, then hire a coder than, you know, whatever.

But we've refined them and refined them and refined them over the years. And now I share them with everybody I can. And we built a few. We built a retirement calculator, which is what you're talking about. And we will link it, right? Or you'll link it, whatever. But we built, and it's free. I want you guys to go get it.

But it's, it will change your whole outlook. What I found and why I built it is because over 90% of people in this world, at least in the United States, have no idea when they're going to actually retire. They just put a number on it. First and foremost, retirement is not an age. Retirement is a math problem. It is. Right.

When you have enough passive income, you can. can retire. I don't care if you're 30 years old or 130 years old. If you don't have enough passive income, you're never retiring. Period. Right. Okay. So, so they don't know when they're actually going to be able to retire at what age. They don't know how much income they're actually going to need because life is getting more expensive every day like we talk about. How much am I going to need in 30 years? I don't know. I can throw it darted aboard. They don't know how long they're going to live. Am I going to live to 80, 90, 100, 150 if they start replacing hearts and shit? Like, I don't know, right? So they don't know all these things. So if you ask, I'd say

95% of people have no clue those things. They're just, I know what I do every day is I put some money in my 401k and it gets invested in this basket of stuff. And I hope that's enough. They hope and pray, right? Hope and pray is not a plan. Right. So, and then, and then have the maybe 5% of people that you ask and they say, yeah, I know.

I know when I'm going to retire. I know how much I need and all these things. They're wrong. 99% of those people are completely wrong. So we built this calculator. Go put in the things. I think he answered four or five questions. You know, your age now, what age you want to retire at, you want to stop working, how much

income you want to draw every single year and how much you have currently in your investments, right? You click submit and it spits out all the data, whether you're on track or off track, how much you're behind, how much you're ahead, how much you're going to be able to withdraw every single year as passive income without ever working again. And when you'll run out of money, or if your money will last, beyond your lifetime. Yeah.

And it is eye-opening. Yeah. And so that's the first calculator we built. Then we built an investor calculator that shows how multifamily compounds over time if you invest. And then we also built a multifamily versus single-family calculator because I have so many people that come to us at L of S Capital and they say, I bought 12 single-family residences over the past 10 years as rentals. I hate my life because I'm managing these things.

A tenant just moved out. An air conditioner just broke, whatever happened. I want to sell them all and I'm going to move them over and get passive in multifamily. So we built that calculator too. So you'll link those in the show. I'm sure. Yeah. Listen, single family world sucks.

And again, it took me a strong 17, 18 years to realize it. The principle is great. The idea is great. But even if you run the Burr model, you're not going to make money to scale. And so like in 2024 where I got hit with a cement truck, I added 124 single family assets I bought in one year because I could. And that that's a staggering number, but I did it wrong, obviously, because I take the onus of people taking advantage of me because I was running too fast. But even then, if you really look at the numbers, $200 a month net on average, some might be $500, some might be $80. It's just a hard, hard life.

Some might be negative $500. Yeah. I've had them. Well, then even if they're $500 a month, a six grand a year and AC goes out, that's $8,000. It wiped out that whole year. and part of the year. Like it just is a hard fight. It's tough.

Right? So when I say scale at single family, you got to be in hundreds. And then you have economies of scale, right? Just like an apartment would be. So, you know, anyone out there thinking that like single family is the way, why encouragement? When you're in the Moore Club, like stick to transactional, make a lot of money. Because what you and I are looking at now or deals that are 30 million, 40 million. And we have ways that people don't have to cut a $100,000 check to be a part of these deals.

No, of course not. We can actually bring in unaccredited individuals that get tax writeoffs, they get ownership, they get income. They get all the perks of the same person that had a $500,000 check that went into that deal. Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool, man. I would say, like, if you're into flipping, like, and that works for you and you're good at it, don't give up flipping. If you're making money on it, that's super cool. But what we have in my world at Elavest is in what we're, and what we're,

creating and more is I'm flipping, I'm making all this active income. Flipping is a business. It's a transactional business. I flip a house, I make money. Cool. I flip a house. I make money. Cool.

I stop flipping what happens. I don't make any more money. Not cool. So if you're flipping or if you're wholesaling or if you're running single family rentals or Airbnb's and you're having success, whatever you're doing and you want to keep doing that because it's working. Awesome. But maybe let's help you get into a community where you can open your eyes to taking some

of that active income, moving it over into a passive income strategy where you're leveraging and you're not doing any work. Yeah. And you're getting all the tax advantages and more income and building and compounding wealth over time by leveraging somebody else's resources in time. You keep doing what you're doing to make your money. I call it the fuel and then the gas tank, right? Make your money over here.

That's the gas, the fuel and put it into the gas tank. Yeah. That's it. And people need to realize, you know, I made tens and tens of millions of dollars in my flipping world wholesaling and flipping and that's great. But I was having too much. fun and living a single person's lifestyle. And that's, that's great too. But I didn't do this early enough because they don't know, right? The challenge is people watch this or listen to this and they

hear it. They nothing about it. Yeah. And they wonder why their financial circumstances don't change. And it's because it's up to them. And deciding to do something, having time to do something, creates a commitment to going and doing the thing, right? You've heard this my five pillars of success for years now. But people want something, but they're not really willing to take the advice we're giving right now and go to time for more.com and look at the club and say, you know what, I want to create financial freedom. I have a W-2 job right now. I don't always want it. I want to make more money. I want to build like, okay, I'm going to get into this club and start talking and start. It takes action. It takes a couple bucks, but you don't need to go pay me

or you 10 grand. This is a community about doing deals. Yeah. And that's the thing is you've done this now 20 something years. The thing I know about you is your coach and now your partner, you are an action taker. There was a day that you and Dana called me and said, Justin, don't hold back. What do we need to do all day long? I'm all in.

I will call as many people. And I literally said as long as you call 100 agents a day every single day and you make five. You guys were making like 20 something offers because my GM at the time, Anthony was like, bro, they keep sending these offers over here. And like, I don't even know what to do. There's so many. Yeah. Yeah, it's true.

I remember those times. It's funny because we were at one point for about a year straight, we were making an average of 40 offers a day. Yeah. And I'm telling you, it's just either do it or don't. Yeah. Right? Like, it's like, well, I'm going to start a cold calling on this business. And I go and make, you know, 10 calls a day and get told to F off 10 times.

And then I put down the phone. You got to go make 500 calls a day. Yeah. You might get one deal a week, right? If you're going to do something, jump in and do it, right? Surround yourself, immerse yourself up to your freaking eyeballs. Because otherwise, you got no shot in this world today. You got no shot.

Shot zero. So just don't do it at all. Just don't do it at all. And the challenge is more people won't do it at all, but they will be the same people that are going to be complaining over the next two to four years. Yeah. We talked about it before, mentioned it like we're just in a time that if you need to get into real estate, it's a great time right now for the commercial space.

100% why now you know i know but tell people why specifically the multi-family space right now has a huge run coming that everyone needs to be paying attention to whether you invest with elvest or not dude i'm gonna you need to be paying attention to this space i'm going to give you actuals so in november of 2024 i started saying this i've been watching markets and been through several market cycles in real estate now specifically multifamily and in november of 2024 when the election happened, I said, we are entering the perfect storm in multifamily, specifically apartment buildings. I can't talk about anything else. That's not my world. Apartment buildings. And I said there's multiple reasons behind this. Number one, in the markets that we invest in, like Phoenix, like Dallas,

like these markets that have a ton of population growth and a ton of job growth and all this stuff. What happened is, is during COVID, you saw all these builders come in and build a ton of multifamily, right? So what happens is, and I'm going to try to keep this short, but basically, Basically, what happened is there was way more supply, or excuse me, yeah, there was way more supply than demand, right? And that's not normal. So the supply demand metrics are way off. Just now, in the beginning of 2025, we saw that start to balance out.

We're supply and demand. And then if you look at the reports, the co-star reports, in 2026, where we're at now, moving forward, the demand starts to outpace supply again in at least the markets we invest in, right? So that's number one. With that comes rent growth. While that supply was way higher than the demand, we couldn't increase rents like we normally do. But now that the supply is beginning to outpace demand, we're able to start increasing rents as we normally do.

So that organic rent growth begins to kick back in. The third thing and the biggest catalyst to this whole thing is in 2021 and 2022, operators that were buying multifamily deals at the height of values of the market, at top, top, top dollar before the interest rate started to climb, they put a lot. lot of three-year debt and bridge loans on these deals that are coming due right now in 2025, 2026, 2027, et cetera. And what we're saying in all the deals, we've now bought nine deals, we're working on closing our 10th deal in the last 12, 13 months. Every single one of those deals came to us from a lender that we work with, completely off market.

We never do it on-market deals. They just, on-market deals aren't where you want to be. So we get these deals off-market from the lenders that are coming to us and saying, and hey, we got this operator. They bought this deal for $60 million in 2022. Their loan is coming due. The interest rates are too high. There's no way they can refinance it.

Do you want to buy it for $40 million? $20 million discounts. That's happening right now. Out of the nine deals that we've closed in the last 13 months, we've averaged a 35% discount on what the previous owner bought it for. Okay? That's the third thing. And the fourth thing that I said creates the perfect storm in multifamily.

And I said it way before it even has. happened before Trump was even in office. I said if Trump gets in office, which he did, he is going to bring back 100% bonus depreciation. Bonus depreciation, I'm not going to get to it in detail, but it's one of the biggest benefits of investing in multifamily real estate. And 100% bonus depreciation had started stepping down to 80% and then it went down to 60% and then it went down to 40%. And it was going to go away. Trump is at his core, a real estate investor, developer. He brought back 100% bonus depreciation July of 2025 with the one big beautiful bill and investors are going bananas. So now, back just to recap, we're able to buy properties

at 30 and 40% discounts. I mean tens of millions of dollars off of what they last traded for. Organic rent growth is back. Demand is outpacing supply and the maximum tax benefits that we've ever had as real estate investors and multifamily are back. It's here. And it's probably going to be here a big part of this for the next 18 to 24 months. And you do not need 100,000 to get in this game and you do not need to be an accredited investor all the things justin said you just need to get around people that can get you access get you the tools get you the community get you the people to bring you in and show you the way we can we do you and i do webinars every saturday now where we're showing people how to get in these deals with 10 grand yeah it's crazy

it's crazy and people are mind blunt the game has changed ladies and gentlemen most of everyone is heard of syndication's been a part of syndications you guys all get that game uh there's accreditation six figure checks. The game legally has changed now that Adam and I have an ability to find those that might only have 10 grand, 15, 20 grand, but want the perks and wealth accumulation and income and tax writeoffs of a great $40 million apartment. Well, that now exists. And so with proximity of access, proximity to people that are connected and have relationships and the banks call directly, that's the world you want to be in. Now, it's a small world. There's not. a lot of ability.

I mean, it's quite literally why you and I decided, why don't we create a club around this? Yeah. They can have access to us. We can show them what we do, how we do it. If they want to play a part of it, great. But also to teach them how to find their own deals. Yeah.

How do they build their relationships? But ladies and gentlemen, I mean, the games changed. I've made the point. If you are looking to buy a single family asset to keep for the long term, you're dumb. There's no world I do that. or would ever do that again ever ever knowing that the rules have been built for us now knowing

that the SEC and the IRS and everyone wrote these laws and there's a way to be compliant amongst all of it and create this opportunity of tax-free income wealth accumulation being paid monthly like that is why everyone in the world does the burr model or buys a single fan they want to build wealth they want to return on their investment and they want to have tax redoffs yeah well why not take your 10 15 20 25 30 50 and go buy a 40 million dollar apartment all the same that's right and look I mean with the more club what's so cool is like maybe maybe multifamily isn't your jam maybe you're like I want to own a bunch of cool vacation rentals awesome there are people in there that that's what they do totally there are people in there that do land deals I mean listen Airbnb and vacation rentals becomes a company yeah

which then gives you the opportunity to be full-time real estate. Yeah. Which gives you the tax write-offs that we're all talking about. I mean, there's a reason to have one Airbnb because now you have a company within the real estate space. You don't have to be a full-time real estate investor to get the same tax write-offs that you and I do. Yeah. Because you have one single. So I'm not telling people don't go that route.

I'm saying if you're looking to build wealth and accumulate wealth, specifically in a single family, $150,000 home range, stop the nonsense. get into the more club not because we need the money because i want to show you and adam wants to show you there's just better ways yeah there's better ways well and the more people that we can put in our ecosystem and partner with just as you did with me when i first met you the better yeah right this is a this is a team sport man and i love it and without my partners and i have hundreds of them now i would not be anywhere where i am and i'm just so grateful for that so it's time not only to pass that knowledge pass that wealth, pass those skills on, but be involved in them, right? Like, I want to make more money. Bottom line. I want to do more deals. So let's talk about L of S a little bit. We've kind of

circled. What is L of S capital? Yeah. So L of S capital is a private equity firm. It's a multifamily investment firm. All we do is apartment deals, period. And our sweet spot is 80s, 90s, and 2000 vintage garden style, generally between 100 and 400 units, generally between 20 and 60 million acquisition. We've done higher up as high as 140 million dollar acquisitions. But what we're looking to do is we're looking to acquire the asset, the building, right, at a deep discount. Right now we're buying them.

The last two we did were at 41% discounts off of the highs, right? So the last one we just did was average comps were 252 a door that they sold for. We're buying it for 150 a door, right? That's the type of discount. So we want to buy the asset at a discount, 200 unit building as an example, at a discount. We want to go in and we want to renovate the units, increase the net operating income, increase the rents, decrease the expenses, improve the operations and the management of the property. And we want to get monthly distributions as investors along the way in the deal.

And then in three to five years, we want to sell that asset and double our money. It's that simple. That's what we do. So the key to something like that is you guys really, and you guys, I'm actually a partner in LFS Capital. But we really stick in our circle of genius. I mean, it is really the same rinse and repeat deal flow since the beginning of this thing. It's funny because I get deals on my desk almost every day. I'm sure you do.

Do you want to do my RV deal? Do you want to do my land? Do you want to this? And I love all these people. A lot of my friends. And I just tell them, guys, I stay in my lane because every time I step out of my lane, I get a toe blown off. Yeah. And I need my toes.

And look, I can talk about all that stuff. I can talk about storage. I can talk about RV, but it's not what I do. Yeah. It's not my knowledge. I can talk multifamily until you get sick of it. No doubt. So stay in my lane.

Again, this goes back to the one, you know, economy is of scale. I love the fact that we're only buying assets that are 90 plus percent occupied. Yeah. The same type of vintage. Yeah. The same type of layout. Same similar door count. I mean, it's just all the same things that, you know, Warren Buffett says, you know,

sticking to your circle of genius. It really does matter because just like I said earlier in this episode, I am genius at flipping homes and buying it. But if you go outside of it and I was going with speed, what changed for me was the speed of which I was doing this, things break. You get your tones blown off. You get your fingers blown off. Maybe sometimes your hands and your arms, right? Like you might survive, but you're going to pay the price. And what we do at L-Avest and what we focus on in the asset themselves are rinse and repeat.

Because we know it works. It is a proven model. There's 2.4 billion under management, whatever the actual number is, something close. Like, it just works every time. Yeah. And that's what it is. It's like you get really, really good at something, the more you do it. And you learn, oh, I balk my head on that wall.

I'm not going to do that again. That hurt, right? But you're going to bonk your head on another wall and then another wall. But you're just going to get better and better and better. And when you've been doing it so long, like, yes, L ofS, we started LVS in 2022. I'd been doing these deals for 15, 16 years before we started Elavest, myself, with my own money. So you learn, you learn what to do, who to trust, the pieces of the puzzle, the partners, the lenders, the attorneys, like all the things you need. What's really cool is a person coming from the outside in, like we keep talking about, maybe it's into the club or whatever it is.

Person coming from the outside in, you don't need to have any knowledge. You can come in and surround yourself with the people that have taken 20 years to build all those pieces of puzzle and say, hey, here's where I want to plug in. I got some money, but I don't have time. Hey, I'm really good at this. Maybe I'm an underwriter. Hey, maybe I'm a good property manager. Maybe I'm this. And you just plug yourself into that group, you know, and just get involved.

You don't have to have it all. A learning curve, right? You don't need to know it all. And you might know some. You might know nothing. But you don't want to have to go through the scars and jump in into the potholes and get hurt. And like shorten and condense the time that you can learn. That's right.

And that's the whole point of the Moore Club. And listen, we're going to have a lot of these episodes. L ofscapital.com, time for more.com. If you want to learn from Adam and myself and understand more of these type of deals, we are in this club all day, every day. If you want to even just be around other experts in different niches, RV parks or flipping or sub two or whatever these, like this group is about doing deals and being active

because it's time for, you and I agree, it's time for people to take their financial status and take ownership of it and to understand that. it's up to them to go create their financial freedom. Yeah, a lot of people are going to have to make a lot of hard decisions in the coming years and the coming months. And look, you're either going to make them and you're going to do something or you're not and you're going to wish you would.

Yeah. Just don't take it from me. That's reality, period. Adam Williams, L ofScapital.com, time for more.com. This is the Moore show. This is the second episode. We got thousands mo. Let's go.
