Hunter
Hey, thanks again. Really appreciate it. Excited to dive in today. Great.
Brett
And for our listeners to know for the first time, maybe give them the 32nd overview and then like the 32nd focus as well.
Hunter
Sure. So I founded two companies, a sim capital that’s company where we buy deals directly. Though. I started out as a capital allocator around 2010 scale that up to raising about nine figures of equity from investors and working with some excellent operators in a variety of different asset classes. 2022 came around, which I’m sure we’re going to talk about in a little bit, where interest rates rose fast and they’ve risen in 40 years. It created serious distress in multi family, and I thought it would be kind of the opportunity of a generation to be honest, for reasons I will talk about, and we kind of stopped looking at anything other than multifamily in Phoenix. My partner moved to Phoenix, then I moved to Phoenix, and this has been our number one and only focus ever since. And also have a e learning coaching business that helps people learn how to raise capital, and that’s raising capital.com.
Brett
Excellent, so we’re gonna be talking about the year of the year of the multifamily tap out. And by the way, this we also think this is a positive thing, because it’s an opportunity to be a buyer. But let’s just talk about Hunter. You know, this year we talked before the show that people been in an arm bar, people meeting the multifamily syndicator, operator. And the arm bar, let’s say, started in 2023 2024 they’ve been holding on. Maybe they did a sweep or two, but now they found themselves on their back again, and that arm is about to get snapped, and some of them are just handing the keys back. So are you seeing that? Do you feel like this is finally the year when things are hitting the bottom, or are we still in this extend, pretend world?
Hunter
Well, good question. You know number one in Phoenix, which tends to lead the country, not be number one necessarily, but certainly one of the fastest moving. So I would probably think it would be one of the fastest in terms of rebounds, because there’s more transactions, typically, and there’s so much investor appetite for Phoenix that it will go down faster, because you see more volume of transactions, and will go up faster. This is true of basically all the recent recessions, and that has certainly happened in Phoenix, like the bottom has certainly been formed in Phoenix. I mean, to create a new bottom, sure it’s possible what it would take additional factors in the current economic landscape, the bottom has been formed, if that makes sense. So if we had a massive sell off on the stock market, like a 40% reduction, I could see us taking another leg down, but it would be in a different climate, basically.
Brett
Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Okay. And so, so talk about give us some real life examples. I mean, I’m just seeing some of these things are really tough. And by the way, we’ve had some investors and some of the passive deals that we put into that are literally just complete losses, and the gap between what was owed and the equity of the value of the property is just so far. It’s such a big bar. It’s big, big margin. So break down to me some examples that you’re seeing and what people are feeling out there.
