i have a special guest today with some
[2]
fun news
[3]
we just purchased a new building and it
[6]
was a brewery
[7]
because we're getting our kids ready for
[9]
[Music]
[14]
college
[22]
[Music]
[29]
explain what you're doing with the 529
[31]
okay so
[33]
i opened a 529 account for both beckham
[35]
and ellie and we were scrolling away
[37]
money and i was talking to sean i was
[38]
like
[38]
why don't we buy a single family home
[41]
and
[42]
have the passive income pay down the
[43]
loan and have this like nice little nest
[46]
egg for them
[46]
versus the 0.05 interest that we were
[49]
making
[49]
on it so i love the idea and i just
[51]
thought hey let's do it at the
[52]
commercial level
[53]
uh where we maybe could pay for both
[55]
kids college in one single shot exactly
[58]
so we found a unique deal um tell them
[60]
it's a little different than the last
[61]
few weeks so
[62]
it's a single tenant versus a strip
[64]
center
[65]
and uh what was really cool and what i
[67]
love the most about this is sean was
[69]
able to actually
[71]
secure the lease a 10 year lease during
[74]
the due diligence process
[75]
and he was able to get three percent
[78]
rent bombs every year
[79]
in that ten year lease which is
[81]
important and we made a cute little
[83]
chart to kind of explain
[84]
what that does to the value of the
[86]
building and you know what happens
[88]
basically with the cash balance the loan
[90]
pay down and the equity so
[92]
britt will tell you you know how it
[93]
starts today and then what it looks like
[95]
in the magic of compounding and time
[97]
over a decade so walk us through this
[100]
three things year one
[101]
so our loan balance is 875 thousand
[104]
dollars so
[104]
over that 10-year period it actually
[107]
drops down to 635 000.
[109]
so we're building up you know about 200
[110]
grand in equity there and then what
[112]
happens to the value of the building
[113]
over time the equity goes up so this is
[115]
what i love so
[116]
um 481 thousand dollars uh first today
[119]
first year and then over that period of
[121]
time that 10-year period it gets
[122]
all the way up to 1.5 million dollars so
[124]
that's huge so when they're
[126]
ready to go to college we'll have a
[127]
significant amount of money for them to
[129]
go to usc
[131]
or washington or you know if we choose
[133]
an ivy league school
[134]
and we even choose to pay for their
[135]
education like there's the ability to do
[138]
it there and two things that are
[139]
affecting the value so
[140]
the loan paying down or the equity i
[142]
should say plus the rents going up
[144]
directly correlate to the the value of
[147]
the building so that's why that equity
[148]
is steadily growing
[149]
and then the the cash balance right so
[151]
every year so the first year
[153]
our cash balance and we're thinking and
[154]
leave it in there right yeah exactly
[155]
we're not going to touch it it's 36 000
[157]
and then over that 10-year period um
[159]
you're building it up to over 800
[162]
000 which is huge so yeah if we account
[165]
for the rent bumps
[166]
and the loan stays constant we end up
[168]
accumulating about 800
[170]
grand in savings by doing nothing right
[173]
that's just going into the account yeah
[174]
wait wait and i want to tell them about
[176]
the fact that they're triple net so for
[178]
those that people don't know triple net
[180]
you're literally having your tenant pay
[182]
for insurances
[183]
taxes and then the common area
[185]
maintenance right so like
[187]
a typical concern of someone might be oh
[189]
the taxes and the insurance and like the
[191]
property management and
[193]
this is really structured where since
[195]
it's a single tenant net lease deal they
[198]
pay for all that and our base rent or
[200]
our take-home cash flow ends up being
[202]
very predictable and pretty much
[203]
constant
[203]
throughout the full decade and fingers
[205]
crossed that we keep our tenants
[207]
as long as they stay healthy and
[208]
thriving and paying if not you know
[210]
we'll cross that bridge when we come to
[211]
it you'd backfill it with a different
[212]
tenant
[213]
but i think the risk to reward ratio is
[215]
significantly high
[216]
yeah getting in light like we had seller
[218]
financing there were some cool things
[219]
about this deal that we really liked
[221]
you know we're interested in hearing you
[222]
know your questions your comments your
[224]

[225]
how this is set up i think this is great
[227]
not just for college but no

[232]
