#Whoever_reads_to_the_end_has_a_bonus

(This is my personal post after 3 posts of value)

Lior Lustig is an experienced real estate investor who has been active in the field in Israel and the US since 2007, but his love story with real estate begins in his childhood when he collected articles about the field and researched and studied the subject in depth, with a dream of working in it in the future. For Lior, real estate is much more than blocks and concrete or wooden structures, but an integral part of life. Lior lives in New York.

In the Israeli market, Lior was involved in establishing purchasing groups, TAMA 38 projects, income-generating properties, land, etc. Professionally, Lior is a technology and management professional with an American master's degree in business administration and information systems, and is also a graduate of numerous real estate courses. In Israel, he managed many large technology projects for the Ministry of Defense and various startup companies for about ten years, and moved to Manhattan in 2010 following a startup he founded in the field of e-commerce and real estate. In parallel with managing the startup, he served as a broker and mortgage consultant with specialization in Queens and Brooklyn, in order to deepen his knowledge of the American real estate world from the inside and find off-market deals.
Lior is always looking for a way to improve the real estate transactions he is involved in with the help of his technological knowledge. Lior has experience in seeing and analyzing a real estate transaction from all angles, and examining an investment for him is a comprehensive and precise work process that is examined in several aspects, regional, local and computational.
In the American market, Lior began as an investor and entrepreneur in the single-family sector, and after understanding the limitations of the sector in terms of financing options and returns and the advantages of being a US resident, he began investing in larger multi-family transactions in the order of 6 to 30 housing units. Recently, he began adding investors to his investments after receiving inquiries from members of the forum he manages and from other investors who understood the advantages of American financing that Lior can receive (attractive interest rates and terms), and the potential for high returns and future improvement in the investments that Lior is involved in, without sacrificing the quality of the investment area. Today, in his daily work, Lior is the director of the information systems sector of two large companies in the US, and lives on Long Island with his family. Lior makes real estate investments alongside his work. Since Lior does not depend on these transactions for his livelihood, and does not need to generate transactions on an ongoing basis to make a living, Lior is careful to only enter into excellent transactions, and this after conducting comprehensive market research, which Lior will explain in a lecture, even if it involves waiting several months between transactions. Lior's approach says that it is better to give up on a transaction about which there are doubts, than to enter into a transaction that will turn out to be problematic, and thanks to this approach, Lior is proud that all of the real estate transactions he has initiated directly so far have been successful to very successful in terms of increase in value, yield, etc., and there has not been a single transaction in which there was a financial loss. Many of the transactions involved creative thinking "outside the box" in order to maximize the profits of the transaction, but also a lot of field work and analysis.
As part of the service, Lior provides American identification, analysis, and financing services for transactions – terms that only an American with excellent credit can receive. Lior enters as a partner in all transactions, investing his personal money, and is therefore 100% committed to the success of the transaction, and these are usually small groups of four investors per property, so that the number of apartments each investor receives is significant from the total investment. The profile of investors that Lior works with is experienced investors who are not their first transaction in the US, and who want to move up to the next level of joint ownership in small multi-family transactions but cannot do it alone in terms of knowledge and financing.
Over the years, Lior has gained extensive knowledge and expertise in identifying new markets, analyzing transactions, and working with banks to obtain financing.
Recently, Lior began researching the areas around the new employment centers that Amazon is establishing in Queens and Washington – and of course, his prior familiarity with Queens for 9 years, and his residence in the area are a great advantage in finding suitable deals.

And what's the bonus?
So.
On December 20.12th, Lior will give a lecture on analyzing real estate transactions at an evening I am organizing. Lior, along with 2 other investors and owners of real estate companies in the US, who have a lot of experience
Omri Ben Ya. Michael Zalkind
They will share their experience and knowledge in the areas of:
Single, fourplex, multi-family in direct ownership
We will also discuss financing for these transactions – and their analysis.

I will share and say that it was not easy to convince them to come and share their knowledge and provide value, as they are all very busy and all very humble…
And in the world of investors, sharing knowledge, knowledge, and experience, as well as networking with them and direct access to ask them questions and brainstorm with them,
This is no small matter.
That is something to be appreciated.
Each of them sits down and writes a lecture in a way that truly conveys knowledge and value, and that each person can take something for themselves and thereby improve, raise their level, and increase their profitability and that of their customers.

I am attaching a link to the event website and registration.
No one has really done a meeting like this that aims to provide value to the investor community.
(Since we are not a company or entrepreneurial entity)

And if you're curious about what Lior will talk about (hint – a small multi-family in direct ownership)
Here are some points and a link to the event.

In the lecture, Lior will explain:
Concepts from the world of multi-family, expenses and income that are usually present in multi-family and things to consider
Potential for appreciation and improvement in multi-family transactions and the method by which the bank assesses the value of the property and the advantage it gives to investors
The advantages of purchasing a multi-family are small compared to participating in syndication deals, and of course the advantage compared to purchasing a single family.
An explanation of the world of American financing from the perspective of the local investor and its many advantages + the documents that the American bank usually requests from the investor. What is required to make an investment in a multifamily in the US?
Analysis of a real deal purchased with 3 other investors for a pair of buildings with a total of 12 housing units, with an explanation of the process of identifying the macro market, finding the micro markets, comparative analysis of properties, negotiation techniques that resulted in a 100,000 reduction in the asking price, due diligence, inspection, bank valuation and the high return received from the deal for the investor.

Interesting? Super interesting…
Whether you are a beginner or experienced – there is no limit to learning and improving, especially in the financial field…and I say this as an accountant and financial planner…
Especially in areas such as investments, the ability to analyze and act is at the heart of the business.
(I'll tell you a little secret - many of those who have registered so far are experienced investors who understand that even for them, despite their extensive knowledge, every little refinement will raise them to a higher level... so much the easier it is for investors who are just starting out...
Because courses give you tools and knowledge to get started, from there how professional you become is up to you)
