[23]
- Hey guys, welcome to Advanced Lessons in Millennial Money
[27]
featuring Robert Kiyosaki.
[29]
I'm Alexandra Gonzalez.
[30]
In this episode, I got a chance
[33]
to speak with Robert Kiyosaki and his real estate expert
[36]
and Rich Dad advisor, Ken McElroy.
[39]
For over two decades, Ken McElroy
[42]
has experienced massive success in the real estate world
[45]
from investment analysis and property management
[48]
to acquisitions and property development.
[51]
With over 750 investment dollars in real estate,
[54]
Ken offers a unique perspective
[56]
in how to get the biggest return on your investment.
[59]
One of the topics Robert talks about
[61]
is using debt to get rich.
[63]
We get a lot of questions about how that actually works.
[66]
Let's listen to how Ken and Robert pull this off.
[69]
- So, Kenny, you wanna say anything
[70]
about the beauties of debt and how you learn to use debt
[74]
to get rich?
[74]
- Sure, sure, well I think when I was your age,
[78]
everybody just said stay out of debt.
[79]
So, it wasn't until later that I realized
[83]
that you can use it and you can use it to buy assets.
[87]
So, it's a big difference, doing good debt and bad debt,
[91]
but essentially, all it is, it's a form of money
[95]
from somebody to buy something
[97]
in a loan or a mortgage or whatever you wanna call it.
[100]
So, it's just money.
[102]
And so, being able to use money from a bank
[106]
or from a life company or a pension
[108]
or something like that.
[109]
- Or an investor like me.
[110]
- Yeah, or an investor.
[112]
In the form of a loan or equity
[114]
is the most important thing that you could learn
[116]
because I think I certainly grew up
[119]
with no money and my parents didn't either
[121]
and we always used to have to save for everything
[124]
that we always did, it was always
[126]
how much money can we save and then we can buy something
[128]
and it wasn't until later that I realized
[131]
that when you use debt, you can actually do it,
[134]
you don't even have to have any money.
[136]
You just use other people's money.
[139]
- When you go to the bank and ask to borrow money,
[141]
your bank is going to consider how much debt
[144]
you can have based on net operating income or NOI.
[149]
Not sure what that means?
[150]
Let's listen to Ken explain.
[152]
- NOI means net operating income,
[156]
so if you really think about it,
[159]
it's just income minus expenses.
[162]
That's all it is.
[163]
And so, it's important to know where you are financially,
[168]
so a banker's gonna look at your income after expenses
[172]
so that's a great way to see it.
[174]
- It's really quite simple.
[176]
So let's say, I'll keep the numbers simple.
[178]
You have a thousand dollars income
[181]
and you have 500 dollars in expenses,
[183]
this is a prop.
[184]
- Yep, so you have a 500 dollar NOI
[187]
or net operating income.
[189]
- So why is that important?
[191]
- Well, the banker looks at that number
[194]
because that's the number that they see
[197]
to be able to pay back any debt you might want.
[199]
- [Robert] Right, this is where this comes in, right?
[201]
- Correct.
[202]
So, they're gonna look here and they're gonna say,
[204]
okay this person has 500 dollars in NOI,
[209]
therefore we can give them a loan,
[211]
say up to 350 dollars, 250 dollars
[215]
or something like that.
[216]
So, they're not gonna give you a loan for the whole amount
[219]
because they don't want you to be that tight,
[223]
so what they're gonna do is they're gonna look at the NOI
[225]
and say, how much can we loan you?
[228]
- Now that we've learned about debt and NOI,
[231]
what role does the property play
[233]
when seeking funding for the investment?
[235]
Robert and Ken discuss.
[237]
- Okay, so when Kenny calls me and says,
[239]
I have this property.
[242]
It's in horrible condition, there's no income,
[244]
there's expenses all over the place,
[246]
you get excited right?
[247]
- Yeah, so I do.
[249]
It can work the opposite too.
[252]
So a lot of people get hung up here
[254]
because they don't have a financial statement
[258]
or any way to go to a banker, let's say,
[262]
but sometimes a banker will look
[264]
at the property itself.
[266]
So they'll say, like the one you explained,
[270]
they'll say well this has a bad NOI on it,
[274]
why would we give you money?
[275]
You know what I mean?
[276]
And so that's when the financial education comes in
[278]
and you say, well this is what I plan to do with it.
[281]
- Correct, what Kenny is saying,
[282]
we've had, I'm keeping the numbers simple.
[285]
He's had income of zero and this is a thousand.
[290]
- Yeah, so you'd have a negative NOI.
[293]
- And the banker goes, tell me why.
[296]
- I can't lend on that, right?
[298]
Because it's a higher risk of being able
[301]
to be paid back.
[302]
- My next question was how can you use NOI
[305]
to determine the value of a property
[308]
when you're looking to invest?
[309]
Let's watch.
[310]
So how can you use NOI to determine
[313]
the value of a property, of an investment property?
[316]
- So, the NOI or the net operating income
[322]
determines the value.
[325]
What you back into it with another vehicle
[330]
called a capitalization rate or cap rate,
[332]
so it's actually, we're getting a little technical,
[335]
but typically, the cap rate or capitalization rate
[339]
divided into the NOI determines the price.
[343]
So that's generally how that works.
[345]
But in the case that we were talking about,
[348]
the value of the building with no tenant in it
[352]
- Is way low. - Is way low.
[354]
And there's really no income.
[356]
So it's basically whatever the structure is.
[361]
So I've seen lots of situations where a vacant building,
[365]
somebody might've spent five, ten million dollars
[367]
on a building that's completely vacant,
[370]
vacant warehouses, vacant whatevers, right?
[372]
Sometimes you see 'em get converted into clubs or whatever.
[376]
Well, there's value there.
[377]
Somebody spent a lot of money on it at one time.
[380]
Somebody owns it, too.
[382]
It could be a bank, it could be whatever.
[384]
So taking that and creating value,
[387]
sticking a restaurant in it, a gym in it,
[389]
a club in it, it doesn't really matter who's in it.
[393]
Well it does because you want them to pay you,
[395]
but now you're creating the income.
[398]
And that's how you create value.
[399]
So in that example, let's say you buy a building
[403]
for a million bucks on a block.
[407]
With a tenant in it, it could be worth
[409]
three, four, five million.
[411]
- If it's a tenant in it, the value is up.
[414]
- Yeah, right?
[416]
'Cause now, what you do is you put all that together
[418]
and then you can actually sell it.
[420]
- Got it.
[421]
And so, even if the NOI is negative,
[423]
if you create a plan that creates value for the property,
[427]
it shows the increase that you're gonna
[429]
give the property's value,
[431]
the bank will give you the loan.
[432]
- Oftentimes, yeah.
[434]
- [Robert] Not always.
[435]
- Not always. - Not always, but
[436]
there are ways to do it.
[438]
So, in that particular case, you might get a loan
[441]
from somebody like Robert.
[442]
Say hey, you know, I need a million bucks
[445]
and this is my plan.
[446]
And then once you get a tenant in it,
[448]
then you go back to the bank and you say,
[450]
hey give me a loan.
[452]
And then they give you a loan and you pay Robert back.
[455]
- Every investor should be looking at ways
[457]
to increase income and reduce expenses.
[460]
But have you ever wondered how that's possible?
[462]
Ken gives us a secret.
[464]
- So the thing that Kenny is always looking for
[467]
is after we stabilize the building,
[470]
he'll tell me, he says look, in five years,
[473]
I'm gonna get this from one thousand to 10 thousand.
[479]
- [Ken] Yeah.
[480]
- And I'll go, okay, so I know I'm in it
[482]
for five years with him as an investor.
[485]
And on top of that, we're gonna reduce the expenses
[489]
back to 500.
[491]
NOI goes up, the value goes up,
[494]
the debt goes up to let's say 10 thousand.
[499]
Does that makes sense to you?
[500]
- Yeah.
[501]
- So I have a friend, for example,
[502]
he actually bought a building in a town up in Idaho
[507]
where I have a vacation house for about a million bucks
[510]
and it was sitting, it was an old Elks building,
[512]
beautiful building downtown.
[513]
But it had been vacant for a long time.
[516]
He bought it and he put like 30 offices in there,
[521]
small offices, you know 1500 to 2,000 feet each
[525]
and grew the revenue, right?
[527]
So everybody pays.
[529]
- [Robert] So the income went up.
[530]
- Yeah, you know what I mean? - Yeah.
[532]
- So he broke it up and leased it up.
[537]
So he has his expenses,
[539]
but now he's got 30 people paying rent
[542]
as opposed to just one big vacant building,
[545]
he turned it into a pretty cool workspace for everybody.
[551]
- Kenny, in his third book, Advanced Guide to Real Estate,
[555]
his job is to get this up, keep this stable,
[559]
then he goes back to the banker and says,
[561]
look, we've got all these tenants, money's going up.
[563]
And so now we want 12 thousand dollars
[568]
because he's improved income, kept expenses low,
[572]
building's more valuable.
[574]
- Yeah, the key there is the bank's always
[577]
looking at your NOI to pay back their loan.
[580]
So the more you can grow that, the more loan you can get.
[585]
- And so, essentially, the renters are paying your debt.
[588]
- Of course.
[590]
Essentially, so if that building I was referring to
[593]
goes to 50 percent vacant, now he's in trouble.
[597]
But if he can keep it full,
[598]
so now you're getting into management,
[599]
but regardless of that, that's how you do it.
[603]
There's opportunities like this everywhere.
[606]
- Once you've bought all these apartments,
[608]
someone has to manage it for you.
[610]
Unless you wanna run the apartment building yourself,
[613]
you're going to need a good property manager.
[616]
Here's the importance of a good property management.
[620]
And I know that another thing that you always mention
[622]
in all your books and the ABCs of Real Estate Investing
[625]
is that property management is very important.
[628]
Poor property management equals poor profits, right?
[631]
And so, I wanted you to kind of explain
[634]
the importance of the property management.
[636]
- Well, essentially all property management is
[638]
is taking care of the property in every way,
[641]
so taking care of the people that might be
[643]
inside of this building, you know,
[644]
for various things that come up from day to day,
[647]
collecting the rent and paying all the expenses.
[650]
That's really all it is.
[652]
And so the property manager's job
[654]
is to make sure the place is clean
[656]
and that things are getting rented and all those things.
[660]
And so the owner of the building
[662]
would hire a company like that
[663]
or they could do it themselves
[665]
and basically keep the place full.
[670]
So in our world, we have a property management company
[674]
that we have about 300 employees,
[676]
all we do is focus on this, these two things.
[680]
How do we keep our expenses low and keep our income high?
[685]
Because we're always trying to grow our NOI
[687]
so our NOI, you know we have a budget
[689]
for let's say, 2017 or 2018 or 2019,
[694]
the goal is to grow that NOI each year.
[698]
- And Kenny's done such things as the way he grew the income
[702]
was, this is a little common,
[704]
he put washing machines, right, in the units.
[708]
There are no washing machines.
[709]
And so when he put washing machines in the building,
[712]
this went up.
[713]
- Yeah, so in my apartment houses,
[717]
we would buy apartment houses
[719]
that had washer and dryer hook-ups but no machines.
[723]
And so the people would walk down
[724]
to the laundromat or whatever,
[726]
and it was a bit of an inconvenience for the people
[728]
and all that.
[729]
So, I said, well let's just buy for 650 dollars,
[733]
we can buy a washer and dryer set
[734]
and stick 'em in all there.
[736]
And we did that.
[737]
And so I probably bought three or four thousand
[740]
sets of washers and dryers for a lot of our properties
[744]
and so now all of a sudden, we can charge
[746]
75 or a hundred dollars more in rent.
[748]
- [Robert] And this goes up.
[749]
This doesn't go up as much.
[751]
- It's a win-win.
[752]
Because they have to go spend some money anyway
[754]
to go do their laundry, now they can do it
[756]
here and for me, if I can pay back
[760]
those washers and dryers in one year
[763]
because it's only 650 dollars for a set
[766]
and if I can get 75 dollars more
[769]
then all of a sudden, I've got 900
[770]
to almost a thousand dollars more in rent.
[773]
So I'm actually, it's what I call a one-year payback.
[777]
- So what Kenny does, he borrows the money here
[780]
to put washing machines in here.
[783]
Again, the tenant pays it all off
[785]
and the washing machines stay there.
[788]
- And I think that's a brilliant idea
[790]
because I know that both of you have
[791]
created incentives for the renters.
[794]
So for example, if they stayed for a year,
[795]
you would do certain renovations
[797]
like including the washing machine.
[799]
And so, every year, there was another incentive,
[801]
which not only increased the property's value,
[804]
but also the renter's paying for it essentially.
[807]
- [Robert] And the banker is happy.
[810]
- My last question was pulled straight
[812]
from the YouTube comments that you guys left.
[814]
I asked Robert how would you respond to critics
[817]
who say real estate is a slow lane approach
[819]
to getting rich.
[821]
This was Robert's reaction.
[823]
Well, one of my last questions
[825]
is what would you guys respond
[826]
to the critics who say that real estate
[829]
is a slow lane approach to getting rich?
[833]
- [Robert] They're entitled to their point of view.
[835]
- Yeah.
[836]
That's fine with me.
[837]
I can't think of another.
[839]
I mean, I think it's really super simple.
[843]
Real estate is very slow and very dumb.
[846]
- Every month, we got cash flow.
[847]
- Yeah, you know.
[849]
I like that, I like we're not banking on something going up.
[853]
This is called creating value.
[856]
We're not parking our money in something
[857]
and hoping it goes up.
[859]
This is very strategic.
[860]
- Perfect.
[861]
- Everybody's got their point of view.
[863]
Most people wanna get rich quick.
[864]
That's why they never get rich.
[866]
- [Ken] Yeah, this is not that.
[867]
- [Robert] Yeah, this is financial education.
[870]
This is smart, this is having your banker
[873]
be your partner.
[874]
- Yeah, and these are long-term assets, by the way.
[878]
This is business, this is like managing a business.
[881]
We would not sell these.
[883]
So, unlike the stock market or something,
[887]
we're not trying to time things.
[888]
We're trying to generate cash flow here
[890]
and then move to the next one.
[892]
- Okay, great.
[893]
- So, can I give you one last thing
[895]
'cause those guys always upset me?
[898]
So what Kenny does, he increases this,
[900]
fixes this, and then when this goes up,
[905]
he gives my money back.
[907]
So I might give Kenny a million dollars
[910]
for five years, let's say.
[912]
He increases this, decreases this.
[915]
The bank says, oh yeah, NOI is up,
[917]
so he puts all this money in there.
[919]
I get my million dollars back.
[922]
I still own the property.
[924]
I still have the cash flow going in.
[927]
So all you guys wanna get rich quick,
[929]
it's called an infinite return, right?
[932]
- Yeah, and it's tax free.
[933]
- [Robert] It's tax free.
[935]
- The reason it's tax free is because when we use debt
[939]
to pay back debt, it's debt.
[943]
So it's owed.
[945]
So, when Robert gets his money back,
[947]
it's actually tax free.
[948]
- [Robert] Yeah, let me say I lend Kenny,
[949]
and this is pretty common numbers.
[952]
I lend him one million.
[953]
He fixes all this, the bank gives him three million.
[959]
I get my million dollars back and that is tax free.
[963]
I get it back.
[964]
And I still own the building with Kenny.
[967]
- So yeah, so to your question,
[969]
you gotta wonder why if you can invest a million dollars
[972]
and get it back tax free and still
[974]
have lots of cash flow--
[976]
- [Robert] And still have the cash flowing this way.
[977]
- Why somebody would think that.
[979]
It's a pretty simple model.
[981]
- And that's it for this episode
