The 15,700 square foot building in downtown Denver’s mecca for entertainment, retail and hospitality will be home to a Formula 1 racing and lifestyle experience

Denver, CO (November 2024) – Staying true to their promise of bringing an “experiential retail space” to downtown Denver’s popular RiNo district, Magnetic Capital has fully leased their recently purchased building at 2734 Walnut Street to F1® Arcade, the world’s first Formula 1 experiential hospitality brand.

Magnetic Capital purchased the building in June 2024 with Trinity Investors, and along with F1 Arcade are transforming it into a venue that will feature 69 full-motion simulators, an outdoor terrace, and an island bar. Guests will be welcomed to experience the best-in-class social racing experience and incredible hospitality, blending the Formula 1® lifestyle with a high-energy race atmosphere. The venue will also feature a private room, with a capacity of 100, 12 additional simulators, and patio access.

“RiNo continues to be one of the most dynamic neighborhoods of Denver and has proven itself as a mecca for retail, hospitality and entertainment, said Dan Huml of Magnetic Capital. “The property features dynamic spaces with exposed ceilings and a beautiful barrel truss roof. The outdoor area is perfect for accommodating a spacious patio. Given the popularity of Formula 1® in the US, F1® Arcade will be an exciting addition to the RiNo Arts District that will blend well with the fabric of the neighborhood.”

As a complement to the thrilling racing experience, F1® Arcade offers an elevated, globally inspired food and beverage menu, that will also highlight locally influenced dishes and more. Alongside its culinary offerings, F1 Arcade will serve an array of handcrafted signature cocktails and non-alcoholic “designated driver” drinks.

“Experiential retail is a popular trend for people who want more activities than just dinner and drinks out with friends,” added Huml. “They want a place where they can have various options to hangout, have fun and spend more time at a single location. We’re excited to be partnering with Trinity Investors on this concept.”

“Formula 1® continues to grow rapidly in the U.S where we’ve increased from one to three races in just four years and welcomed millions of new fans,” Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer at Formula 1®, shared in a statement. That growth is reflected in the rapid expansion of F1 Arcade around the U.S. as Denver is set to become the third venue to open in quick succession. The F1® Arcades are a fantastic place to enjoy a genuine Formula 1 experience, from the sim racing through to the dining and their unrivalled watch parties are unrivalled to.”

Magnetic Capital is also active in other parts of the Denver Metro Area. The company is currently under construction on a 100,000 square foot mixed-use development at 2nd & Adams in Cherry Creek North, featuring 80,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of retail.

Looking for a Real Estate Safe Haven? Real Estate Investment Is Still a Good Idea If You Do the Homework And Learn from the Trends and Leaders In the Space

/in , /by

By Jeffrey Grant

The financial news headlines are enough to cloud the mindset of any real estate investor wondering if the space is still a viable one — ongoing bank failures and interest rate hikes, recession fears, lingering supply chain issues and a stock market that reflects both unease and uncertainty. What should you do?

If you’re smart during this period, look for opportunities to grow your portfolio rather than cashing it out or just sitting on the sidelines. So-called safe havens might be right under your nose – if you do your homework first.

Well-informed individual investors are looking to diversify their portfolios even during this time of turbulence and trepidation. While some are buckling down or momentarily bowing out, savvier investors are still pursuing a diverse mix of investments to position themselves to do more than just weather the storm. One ally in the battle can be private real estate investment offerings or alternative investment syndicates (alts) for accredited investors working with registered investment advisors (RIAs) or family offices. Private multifamily housing investments in particular are worth a closer look.

Alts, RIA, REIT and Multifamily Home Projects

Why alts, RIAs and multifamily? Because according to new research trending from AltExchange, nine in 10 advisors intend to increase alts allocations over the next two years, and because other financial advisors might not have access to for their clients or may get wrong. The nice thing about these investments is that they are non-correlated to the stock market. And they don’t come with the extra layers of management and other fees frequently found in traditional REIT (real estate investment trusts) or funds.

article continues after advertisement

In many such REIT scenarios, they can be filled with basket-type portfolios – you have to invest in office, shopping centers and other property mixes that you might not be interested in, investment-wise. But select firms offering direct real estate exposure can offer a sound alternative to a REIT by offering investors the ability to decide which single projects to fund, thereby lessening their exposure to broader and more volatile product types. This is one advantage to working with an RIA connected to a private firm like the one I represent — Roers Companies — where we can offer direct investment in specific multifamily properties to accredited investors through the advisors they know and trust.

Multifamily housing demand remains high, and the housing crisis in major cities is widespread. Single-family homes are becoming increasingly too expensive to buy or build for the current and next generation of housing seekers. Single-family home construction is generally slowing, and interest rates are pricing out many potential homebuyers, which creates sustained demand for rental housing. So multifamily investing can be an ideal hedge in the current environment — again if you do your due diligence.

Check These Boxes: Scoping, Transparency, Frequent Reporting and Fast Lease-Up Rates

Eleven years ago, Roers Companies’ co-owners (and brothers) Kent and Brian Roers began developing multifamily properties in the Midwest. Now, the business they founded includes 10,000 apartment units and $2 billion in development across 14 states — proof, perhaps, that its one-stop business model is thriving. The leaders and their team have weathered more than a few storms, and they readily attribute tenacity during downturns and diversification as key to their sustained growth and success. But don’t just take my word for it.

According to Kurt Durrwachter, founder and CEO of the 13-year-old Ledge Wealth Management in Sartell, Minn., with nearly $400 million under management, Roers Companies has successfully differentiated itself. He says, “Their one-stop business model with development, construction and property management is very attractive. And their regular reporting of construction and other information offers the kind of detail we rarely see in this business. I think they’re pretty unique, and they have a highly successful leadership team that has done an impressive job of growing the company in just 11 years.”

Roers Companies reached that milestone largely on the strength of “friends-and-family investors” based primarily in Minnesota. That strategy helped them become a top-three Twin Cities developer, Minnesota Real Estate Awards’ 2023 Developer of the Year, and even rank among the Top 25 Developers of multifamily housing in the country, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council.

Now their new initiative, working with RIAs and family offices, will allow Roers Companies to expand into additional markets where multifamily housing is needed and market fundamentals are solid. This next chapter in their story is also helpful in understanding the current and future opportunities that exist for anyone considering what the multifamily niche has to offer — even in a downturn.

One longtime Roers Companies investor notes how the company has done a superior job of checking all the key boxes investors look for.

“They have been very successful in just 10-11years’ time,” observes James Lee, “because they’re doing projects and making site selections in cities with projected job growth and housing shortages, especially in multifamily housing— and their fast lease-up rates are twice as quick as the industry average!

“The critical research, scoping and planning Roers Cos., does—plus the construction and leasing updates and quarterly reporting to their investors that offer true transparency — are often missing with larger investment firms. The returns,” he adds, “can be significant.”

Jeffrey Grant, Senior Managing Director, Capital Markets, leads the RIA initiative for Roers Companies, whose development pipeline includes ground-breaks in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee in 2023.

Creating Wealth and Following Your Dreams

/in /by

By Rick Tobin

Is it better to let your money work hard for you or for you to work hard for your money? For most people, the answer would be that they’d want their money or investments to grow and compound each year so that the investor could enjoy life and travel or sleep more.

The Social Security Administration released their final wage statistics for employed workers across the nation for 2023. As per this latest published report for annual wages, the “median wage” in the U.S. was just $43,222.81. If true, this means that half of Americans made less than $43,222.81 in 2023 while the other half made more than this annual income amount.

“Based on data, about 67.6 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the $63,932.64 raw average wage. By definition, 50 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the median wage, which is estimated to be $43,222.81 for 2023.”

Equity Gains and California Dreamin’

“If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.” – Warren Buffett

The average annual home appreciation rate in California over the past 39 years is 6.77%, as per sources like the California Association of Realtors (CAR).

Earlier this year in 2024, the average California home price statewide surpassed $900,000 for several consecutive months. This was more than double the national home price average closer to $428,000 that was reported for September 2024 by Redfin.

To simplify the math, let’s use the $900,000 California home value average and multiply this same home price number by the 6.77% average annual home appreciation percentage rate over the past 39 years.

$900,000 home value x 6.77% annual appreciation = $60,930 in potential future equity gains if future value percentage gains maintained the same 6.77% historical pace.

While there are no absolute guarantees for real estate and life, the fact that the average California homeowner might’ve collected more than $60,900 when they were literally sleeping part of the time is quite impressive. If so, this $60,930 annual equity gain was much higher than the $43,222.81 median wage income average for U.S. workers.

Whether the skies around you are blue or gray, it’s time to take more walks around your neighborhood to find the next great housing investment deal.

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

Good or Bad Times in California

Is time the most valuable and precious commodity of them all? Life is too short for us all. Many people who invest in real estate, stocks, insurance vehicles, bonds, gold, silver, or other investments just want to create more free time to spend with their family and friends instead of being forced to work until they die.

The varying degrees of real estate wealth creation is directly affected by a few different things or factors such as location and time when the property was bought or sold. Since 1977, home appreciation in California has far surpassed the cost-of-living inflation increases two-thirds of the time.

Timing is key when you buy and sell your home for profits. For example, a California home purchased in 1990 and later sold in 2000 would’ve resulted in a net loss. Conversely, a home purchased in 1996 and sold 10 years later in 2006 near the peak of the last major housing bubble in both California and the nation would have resulted in a significant price gain.

Let’s take a look below at how statewide home values or median home sales prices either increased or decreased for a specific year in California:

Between 2008 and 2012, California home prices fell to a still all-time state record loss of -41.7% from peak to trough. However, California home prices skyrocketed more than any other region in the entire 2010 decade, starting shortly after the housing market bottomed in 2012 or 2013, depending on the region.

There’s no other state in the nation that has experienced such extreme home price swings from low to high in a relatively short period of time than California, for better or worse. In spite of falling more than -41% within four years (2008 to 2012), California home prices still rose a net gain of 120% between 2010 and 2020, which was double the national average.

Life is Short, Invest Today

The sooner you start investing in real estate, the more likely it will compound and grow over time as the home value may double or triple while you pay down your mortgage debt until the home is later free and clear.

A few decades ago, it was much more common for young college graduates to marry and start having multiple children in their early to late 20s. Additionally, these same young families followed their heart and grabbed a piece of the American Dream by buying their first home.

In more recent years, housing has become so unaffordable and fewer people are choosing to marry or have children, partly due to how expensive it is to raise children these days, that the average first-time home buyer age and the overall age of all homebuyers nationwide have reached all-time record ages.

Between July 2023 and July 2024, the average age of first-time buyers rose from 35 to 38, and from 58 to 61 for repeat buyers.

The average age of all U.S. homebuyers reached an all-time record high of 56 years of age in 2024, according to the National Association of Realtors and Yahoo! Finance. By comparison just one year earlier in 2023, the average U.S. homebuyer age was seven years younger at 49.

Please note again that California home prices tend to be more than double the national average, so it can be more challenging to purchase here. Yet, rents are significantly higher here in our state too.

If you can set aside a few thousand dollars or more or have family members “gift” you some funds, you may still be able to purchase a home in California or across the nation that has a monthly mortgage payment similar to what rent is these days for many tenants.

The average age of a U.S. home seller in 2023 was 60. For many of these homeowners, they probably bought their home 30 years earlier at the age of 30 when they borrowed a 30-year mortgage.

Either way, your monthly housing payments will make someone wealthy over time whether you rent or own. Homeowners are 40 times wealthier on average than tenants as I’ve shared before in past articles.

It might as well be you who creates wealth while you sleep, so please create a plan and take action sooner rather than later as your future nest egg is depending on you.

HOW TO ACHIEVE GENERATIONAL WEALTH IN REAL ESTATE

/in /by

By Joe Arias

In the last two centuries, real estate was how 90% of millionaires made their fortunes. To achieve generational wealth, there is no doubt that real estate should be the main asset class to invest in. For over two centuries, and arguably longer, real estate has continued to offer unique benefits for generating generational wealth in real estate. You are asking yourself whether it’s too late for you to start the journey to achieve this goal. The answer is no! It is never too late to begin. If you plan to pass down wealth to your kids or your grandkids, then real estate is the perfect asset class for this. To best understand how to achieve generational wealth through real estate, it is equally important to know why it works.

Appreciation

If you are unfamiliar with what appreciation is in real estate, essentially it is defined as an increase in value over time. Real estate generally increases in value over the long run. Compare what a house costs in one of the most expensive real estate markets during the 1970s compared to the value of a home now in the 2020s. In 1970, you could buy a home in San Francisco for an average price of $25,000. An average home price in San Francisco now will set you back $1,700,000. That’s right, your grandparents’ home can be worth over 7 figures. What if they pass that home down to you? That would be considered generational wealth in real estate as you are now taking ownership of a million-dollar asset. Over time, appreciation works in favor of real estate as the asset class stays ahead of inflation.

Depreciation

One of the main benefits of investing in real estate is tax benefits. Depreciation is one of them. This does not mean that your home is losing value. Simply put, depreciation describes the ability to write off some of the value of your asset every year. What this does is significantly reduce the tax burden that an owner is responsible for. Essentially, you are protecting your wealth as your net worth grows. One of the main destroyers of wealth is tax liabilities. Therefore, it is important to understand the proper legal accounting practices that help reduce your overall burdens. Another benefit of depreciation is that often, the write off exceeds the amount of cash flow you may have brought in from a rental. The amount written off oftentimes is more than the entirety of the cash flow will actually help reduce your tax obligations. Of course, you do need to speak with a CPA to get all the details and to support you when filing for taxes. Most CPAs understand how to utilize depreciation properly.

Loan Pay Down

Most investors of real estate use leverage to purchase properties. This involves taking out a loan to buy real estate and using a fraction of your available cash within the deal. In some cases, there are opportunities to buy without any of your own money. For the sake of keeping the concept simple, if you are just starting in real estate, you can take out a 30-year fixed mortgage with a low-interest rate. Over time as you rent your unit and earn an income from the cash flow, a part of the rent also covers the monthly expenses including the mortgage. Your loan’s principal payment is paid down over time. Each payment adds equity to your position gradually adding to your net worth. By the end of your 30-year term, you will have a fully paid off property that you can pass on to your children.

Leverage

One important wealth generator in real estate is the ability to buy properties using leverage. If you were presented with two options which would you choose? Buy one property free and clear for $100,000 or use the $100,000 towards down payments on 5 properties with each requiring $20,000 down payments. If you opted for the second option, then you understand the power of leverage. You are essentially making your money work harder for you. Tied with loan pay down, rental cash flow, and appreciation, your investments are magnified when you leverage your cash across multiple properties instead of sticking to only one deal.

Forced Equity

When you invest in real estate, investors have the opportunity to make a significant amount of money directly from the purchase of the property. Forced equity is defined as the wealth that is created when you buy a property at a discounted price and improve the property to be valued more. For example, let’s say you bought a property for $50,000 and added $25,000 in improvements, then based on the comparable homes in the neighborhood, your property could be worth closer to $100,000. By improving the property, an investor can force the creation of equity in their deals which overall is a driver of wealth.

Passing Your Property To Your Heirs

Now that you understand all the ways to generate wealth, it is also important to understand the different ways you can pass your properties down to your heirs. There are four main ways to accomplish this. First, you can sell your home to your kids. A second approach is simply giving the property to your kids. Bequeathing your property would be a third option. Last, a deed transfer can be done.

Each of the options presented has different ramifications from a tax and legal perspective so it is best to consult with your lawyer and accountant to gain the best insight for transferring over your real estate assets.

Overall, real estate can create generational wealth in a variety of different ways. It is no coincidence that 90% of millionaires were created through real estate. Consider starting your journey towards financial freedom and generational wealth.
