  Episode #124

  Ep 124 - From Idea to Execution: Build to Rent Development Through Market Headwinds with Andy McMullen & Abel Pacheco

  Aug 18, 202642 min

  What this episode teaches an operator: how a build to rent developer leads through construction setbacks, rising rates, and regulatory delays, and which under-used programs (grants, tax credits, opportunity zones) operators leave on the table. Andy McMullen, founder and managing partner of Legacy Acquisitions, is back for his second show. He and Abel Pacheco go inside The Crest, their partnered 98-unit build to rent community in Lafayette, Louisiana: rain delays, the water quality board, and why build to rent holds up in this rate environment as the affordability gap widens the renter pool. Then the operator's core: leading through adversity, Legacy's values, and stress-testing underwriting when the market turns. In this episode: What setbacks hit The Crest and how were they handled? Why does build to rent fit a high-rate market? How wide is the renter pool getting as affordability slips? Which government grants, tax credits, and opportunity zone programs do operators overlook? How do you build a team that holds under pressure? Three takeaways: the renter pool grows every month the affordability gap widens. Secondary and tertiary markets hide funded programs most operators never claim. Adversity is where a team's real values show up. "For the man who does not know where he's sailing, no wind is favorable." - Andy McMullen, quoting Seneca via his mentor Connect with Andy: Legacy Acquisitions. Abel Pacheco helps operators get the ideas out of their head and into an AI operating system that runs the business, so one operator can run like a team of five.

  Episode #123

  Ep 123 - From Idea to Execution: From a $50K First Deal to 2,000 Units with Matt Faircloth & Abel Pacheco

  Aug 18, 202638 min

  What this episode teaches an operator: how a $50K first equity deal grows into nearly 2,000 units and $200M in transactions, and why action, not knowledge, is what dissolves fear. Matt Faircloth of the DeRosa Group is back for his second show. He and Abel Pacheco trace the arc from his first equity deal in 2010 to a portfolio across four states, then go deep on the operator's inner game: finding your core genius, building the team around your God-given talents, and how to keep making offers in a high-rate, low-competition market. Recorded mid-2023, the market read holds up: less competition is the operator's window. In this episode: How did the first $50K deal actually come together? What does scaling to 2,000 units change about your role? How do you find your core genius and delegate the rest? How should operators handle fear? What does a high-rate market reward? Three takeaways: courage comes after the action, not before it. Scale forces you out of every seat except the one only you can fill. High rates thin the competition, which is exactly when offers get interesting. "You are going to be afraid, and that's okay, right? You're going to feel fear. If you're waiting to have the fear go away before you get started, you will never get started. The courage comes after the action." - Matt Faircloth "Action is what dissolves fear. Not knowledge, not relationships, not lots of phone calls, not research, not reading books. Action is what dissolves fear." - Matt Faircloth Connect with Matt: the DeRosa Group.

  Episode #122

  Ep 122 - From Idea to Execution: From Van Life to $70M in Multifamily Assets with Anthony Vicino & Abel Pacheco

  Aug 18, 202639 min

  What this episode teaches an operator: how deep focus in one lane compounds, how to structure deals for optionality in a rising rate environment, and how a self-described ADHD kid went from living in a van at 28 to $70M in multifamily assets. Anthony Vicino is back for his second show. Co-founder of Invictus Capital, Twin Cities multifamily syndicator, and author of Passive Investing Made Simple, he walks Abel Pacheco through the ten-year transformation: rock bottom at 28 with $80K in debt, then picking a lane and going deep. They get into cap rate compression, structuring for optionality (long terms, IO periods, low prepayment penalties), surviving a capital crunch, and why he treats AI literacy as a competitive edge for operators right now. In this episode: What turned rock bottom into a starting line? Why does picking one lane beat learning everything? How do you structure deals to survive a capital crunch? How is he using AI as an investing tool today? What does the next decade of operating look like? Three takeaways: depth in one asset class beats breadth across five. Optionality in your debt structure is survival in a rate storm. The operators who learn to ask AI better questions inherit an edge. "There is no such thing as a good or a bad market. There is merely the right or wrong market given your skills, resources, and business plan." - Anthony Vicino Connect with Anthony: Invictus Capital, and his book Passive Investing Made Simple.

  Episode #121

  Ep 121 - From Idea to Execution: Capital Raising, Inflation and the Family Office Mindset with Hunter Thompson & Abel Pacheco

  Aug 18, 202635 min

  What this episode teaches an operator: how to raise capital like the family offices do, why an inverted yield curve does not automatically mean a real estate correction, and how inflation can actively work for a real estate investor instead of against them. Hunter Thompson is back for his second show. He and Abel Pacheco get into the family office mindset: building internal infrastructure to manage wealth before you think you're big enough to need it, what the inverted yield curve is signaling, the three mechanisms that make real estate a beneficiary of inflation rather than a hedge (the equity multiplier, NOI growth, and debt eroded by inflation), and tax strategy including tax-deferred sales trusts and depreciation timing. In this episode: What does capital raising look like when you think like a family office? What does the inverted yield curve actually signal? Why can a recession be a buying window for real estate? How does inflation erode your debt while growing your NOI? What is the 100K to Invest Summit and its 22 asset-class niches? Three takeaways: build the wealth infrastructure before the wealth demands it. A recession and a real estate correction are not the same event. Inflation pays the leveraged owner three different ways. "This is that opportunity to surf that crashing wave of liquidity or let the opportunity pass you by." - Hunter Thompson Connect with Hunter: Asym Capital and the 100K to Invest Summit.

  Ep 138 - From Idea to Execution: Booking Paid Speaking Engagements to Grow Your Business with Grant Baldwin & Abel Pacheco

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  What this episode teaches an operator: how to find and book paid speaking engagements, and how speaking builds credibility, leads, and business growth. Grant Baldwin runs The Speaker Lab, a training company that teaches people how to find and book paid speaking work. He and Abel Pacheco walk through Grant's SPEAK framework end to end: picking a problem you solve, preparing a talk that delivers, and turning stages into a pipeline for your business. If you have expertise and a story, this is the execution path from idea to booked calendar. In this episode: How does a speaker actually get paid, and by whom? What is the SPEAK framework? How do you pick the topic and audience where you can win? How do stages turn into leads and deals for an operator? What separates speakers who get rebooked from those who don't? Three takeaways: speaking is a business with a repeatable booking system, not a lottery. Clarity beats charisma: solve one specific problem for one specific room. Every talk should have a next step that leads back to your business. Connect with Grant: The Speaker Lab.
