In this episode, Jonathan Farber brings back John Cohen for his second episode on his path from bringing his tax expertise to his real estate start to having held over a total of 4,000 units through 27 deals. John is an experienced multitalented investor based in New York. In this episode, we delve into topics like: balancing risk and aggressive deals, what first steps to take in real estate, looking towards opportunities post-pandemic, and more!


Top Takeaways:


Drawing the line between making an aggressive deal and keeping yourself safe - 11:45 - 17:30

There will always be a few who take it to a truly careless level of risk

Stay forward thinking and include future economic changes in your underwriting

The more aware you stay of the financial trends, the better you can ride that line

Starting over in real estate today - 19:00 - 21:45

The number one thing you can do is build yourself a mentor relationship by providing value

Put your financial gain on the back burner and soak up as much as you can

If you can do the things no one wants to do better than anyone else, you’ve become irreplaceable

Preparing for real estate in the post-pandemic world - 28:00 - 32:15

Consider whether you really need an office as your biggest fixed expense

Being able to be in the same room as your colleagues doesn’t mean you need to go back to that

Consider what that amount could be put towards that would bring you more revenue
