My name is Emil Shour and I got my co hosts with me today who are   Tom: Tom Schneider,   Michael: and Michael Albaum.   Emil: And today we're gonna be doing a little bit of a look back episode. So we're slowly crawling out of the pandemic and we're going to do a look back at our single family rentals and our multifamily rentals and we're going to do a comparison How did each do during the pandemic? Alright, so let's hop into this episode.   Alright guys, before we hop into this theme, let's let's do quick updates. Always love hear what's going on in your portfolio. So Thomas, kick us off what's going on, man?   Tom: What is going on? So not a whole heck of a lot I mentioned before have done a bunch of refinancing and big milestone, it's a new month. So the new payments came in a little bit thinner on the old cash flow because those loans are a little bit bigger, but the interest rates are a little bit lower, but net a little bit of a higher payment. So you know, getting getting used to that and still in acquisition mode, underwriting properties doing all that I'm doing the work like doing the investing work. So Go Bears? Yeah.   Emil: You're in a couple markets. Right, Tom?   Tom: I am. I'm in three markets, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Orlando, Florida. So debating adding a new one, but I don't know, I'll probably take a note from a meal and just densify densify. But I don't know we'll see.

But we'll see.   Michael: All right. All right. All right.   Emil: You anticipated my question I was gonna ask if you are going into marquee already in or if you're looking at new markets, or what's kind of your next step.

You know, you have these properties are appreciating value, but it's it's time for Acquisition time. It's like, oh, man, everything's appreciated a lot. There's still acquisitions to be had, but not not like the good old days. good old days, Wild West.   Emil: I feel like, every real estate investor will say that for the end of time, just like the good old day like it. We're gonna be like, Oh, man, remember and remember in 2020 or 2021? Gosh,   Michael: I was so cheap back then. Yeah.   Tom: Here's the thing is the good old days, like always, like, I mean, we're probably in such a weird time where it's been, you know, hockey stick for a little bit, is it but it seems like it's always like four or three years ago, like we look back three years ago. Oh, man, that was great. And he looked back three years from now. Oh, that was great. Like, I think we're in a particularly weird time. But I know the good old days is always just a few years ago, no matter where,   Emil: Unless you're in 2011 2012. No one was looking back to 2008 2009 2008 2009 thinking, Man, those we
