605: Paying Discounted Prices For Distressed Properties Results In Big Profits

Real Estate is a block-to-block business, especially multifamily. There are too many nuances involved to manage multifamily without boots on the ground. This is where a lot of operators went wrong over the past several years. In addition to buying in markets they didn’t know, many inexperienced operators followed the herd by overbidding on properties and used risky debt to make deals pencil. Most of these operators and their investors are now in a world of hurt. Bruce Fraser, Managing Partner of Elkhorn Capital Partners, avoided these overpriced assets and created a smart niche of buying highly distressed properties at deep discounts. As a result, his properties are doing extremely well. Elkhorn Capital oversees over 2000 units across Tulsa and Oklahoma City and plans on further expansion into these markets.
