[00:00:00] Srey Rollins: That's what we've loved about real estate. It started us out, like just immigrants coming into this town into the United States with nothing, literally nothing. And it's allowed us to have this home here in Hawaii. We have helped friends and family along the way to grow their portfolios. and we've used to borrow money from people. And we still do right with all our different projects, but now it's given us the ability to become lenders ourselves. So I'm really excited about that.
[00:01:05] Tim Little: Hello, everyone. And welcome to the journey to multifamily millions podcast. I'm your host, founder and CEO of ZANA Investments, Tim Little. And on today's show, we have with us Srey Rollins. Srey is a principal and managing partner at Aisling Investment Group, where she oversees operations and acquisitions. Srey, welcome to the show.
[00:01:25] Srey Rollins: Thank you for having me, Tim. Super excited to be here today.
[00:01:28] Tim Little: Yeah, it's great to have you. And we're going to get into what you're up to these days and dive into the importance of mindset and some other things. But before we do that, please tell us how you got started on your real estate journey and how you got to where you are today.
[00:01:41] Srey Rollins: Oh I think like most Americans, who are working, you may have been laid off, in the past. And that's how my journey actually started. In my years of leadership and management, 24 years actually, I'm 45 this year, after the first time that I got laid off, I realized that no matter how hard I worked, how well I did my job, There was always going to be something that was going to happen that was out of my control. So as the unofficial C suite executive of my family, I realized that in order to make that change, I was going to have to do something about it, where I could be passively investing. I'm sorry, actively investing. So I started out our family with single family homes. A lot of people start out that way, right? So single family homes, and then duplexes. We started doing multifamily, fix and flips, wholesaling, short term arbitrage. And, eventually I landed into the commercial space of multifamily investing. And, as of November of this year, we just wrapped up in nine, a portfolio of nine properties with 200 and 200 plus doors. So super excited about that.
[00:02:56] Tim Little: All right. So you listed a lot of things that you tried along your road to get to, commercial real estate, multifamily. Talk to me about what that process of Progression looks like? I assume you started off with a single family and then you were like, Hey, a duplex makes more sense. How did the fix and flip enter into there? And how long were you doing that before you decided, no, this is another full time job. I don't want to do this. Or maybe that wasn't your thoughts while you were doing it. Let me know.
[00:03:23] Srey Rollins: Yeah. So I actually started because, one of those ladies that love watching HGTV, right? So I'm seeing all these people do it and I'm like,how are they getting this done? So I joined a mastermind, actually got a mentorship and they taught us how to move from, using your own money to invest and start using other people's money to invest. So I learned that was the first step in raising my financial IQ. And that's. A huge part of Aisling's thought process is helping our investors and we call what we call financial friends to raise their financial IQ. So we started there and learned about, what's the proper way to underwrite? How can I do this with a small amount of money of my own and also take the money that I do have and not tie it up in just one property? I can tie it up in a couple of different properties while I utilize other people's money for me. And over, we would drive back by these big apartment buildings and we're like, gosh, I want to own one day. How do we do that? How do we own one of these one day? And we didn't learn about it really until this past year about multifamily syndications. Again, using other people's money and working together in things like syndications in order to achieve and scale your dreams much quicker. So that's what we've been doing. And since then, I've, it's just been a whirlwind of opportunities meeting wonderful people and our business is just, it keeps scaling all the time.
[00:04:51] Tim Little: and there certainly is like a learning curve when you go through those different asset types, right? And I think one of the benefits is that some of those lessons carry over into the next asset. if you go from single family to a duplex, obviously there's skill sets, and tools that carry over. I feel like the fix and flip is a different animal. There, there's some things that, obviously, can carry over. but talk to me about when you were, you say other people's money, who are these people? Were you using hard money lenders? Were you getting friends and family to invest in some of these initial deals? What did that look like?
[00:05:31] Srey Rollins: yeah. Great question. in, in our first duplex, we, it was, someone actually approached us who knew us, liked us, and wanted to do business with us, and he had used all the resources that he could in his circle of friends. So he had the funds to deposit on a multifamily on the duplex, but he didn't have any more credit. So we actually partnered together. We provided the necessary credit,good credit score, debt to income ratio and all that. And he provided the down payment. So that was our first transition from single family homes to duplexes was just in a relationship where we both benefited. And then we, you know, got a couple more duplexes in that manner and liquidated it and then moved forward.
[00:06:21] Tim Little: Yeah. And I think that's a really important point. Cause,a lot of people just ask the question like, Oh, I want to invest in real estate, but I don't know how to get started. Or I, I want to buy a multi in multifamily, but I don't know how to get started. I don't know what I bring to the table, but that's really, to your point about how you guys did it. It was a mutually beneficial relationship, right? someone had skills, someone had the money, whatever the case is. And that's what I tell a lot of people that are looking to get into this business who may have only done it for a single family, which is very individualized. You could do it all yourself. It's not always fun, but you could do it all yourself. but when you come over to that multifamily side of things, it's more of a team sport. And so if you're looking to break in, you really have to find what value you're providing, whether that's doing the underwriting because you're amazing with numbers or you have capital. To bring to the table or you have relationships with brokers, whatever the case may be, you have to be able to convey what value you're bringing to the table in order to get into that side of the business.
[00:07:28] Srey Rollins: Yeah. And, and for us it was good credit. Who would have thought that what your parents told you in school taught you actually paid off? Yeah, it was. My husband started out. His career was as a pilot. He was a commercial airline pilot, and it's the same thing. He started out in his first year as a pilot. He actually qualified because technically he could have applied. He qualified for food stamps back then.and he was like, this is not going to get me to where I need. This is not going to build the legacy or, create the passive income and whatnot that, that he wanted to have. So that's how it all started when, for on my husband's side, before we were, we had just dated when he started that journey.
[00:08:11] Tim Little: we've just built that portfolio together of different types of investments. Yeah. And as, as we're walking down this investing road, so usually there's like a jump up, a transition point when you go from that duplex, triplex, even quadplex to commercial multifamily, something larger than four units, five or more. What did that look like for you? How are you able to get into your first commercial multifamily deal? And what did that deal look like?
[00:08:40] Srey Rollins: Okay. So our first deal we invested in was an LP. Some of your listeners probably already know you're a limited partner. You don't make any of the decisions. that are happening within the investment. But as an LP, we were able to learn about what the general partners were doing, right? But you're sitting in on some of the meetings, learning about some of the decisions that they're making. You get to ask, why are you making these types of decisions? Why is this project to, Elevate that particular investment property done before another one, right? Why did they choose this property manager? So we chose to start out with investing first as an LP to get to learn some of the language, get to know some of the people, and start building relationships. And then from there, that's how we moved into the GP side.
[00:09:39] Tim Little: Yeah, and that's what I was alluding to, because it would have been a little surprising to me if you had gone directly into the active side, because so many people, myself included, start out as LPs and for the listeners, that's limited partner, because you don't necessarily have decision making capability, but you're able to get access. you're able to ask questions. you're able to learn, understand the underwriting, how it's done, what the priorities are in the deal. And I found that hugely valuable to me because there's kind of two ways. If you want to be on the active side to be a general partner or GP, you can do it. You can either go for coaching, mentoring, and just dive right in, or you can be a limited partner first and do what I call, learn while you earn. So you can either pay 25 to 50, 000 for someone to teach you while you do it. Or you can invest 25 to 50, 000 and hopefully make a good return while you have this access and are able to ask the questions that you want and see the deals play out right before your eyes. And I think that's a huge advantage, not just because of the learning aspect, because it helps you really understand the passive investors perspective,
[00:10:58] Srey Rollins: Journey. Yeah. And their journey. Yeah, for sure. And we actually initially went in the other route that you were saying, where you join a mastermind and you jump into acquisitions and operations. We actually started out in that avenue, but in the, while we were looking at different properties, I was doing the underwriting, other, as we were building these relationships, other opportunities came across my desk. So that's how we ended up investing in that first deal as an LP, but we were already on the journey to just jump Reno right in, but God's timing is his timing and the opportunity came in a different way. But that's what, that's how it all unfolded for us.
[00:11:41] Tim Little: Awesome. And so again, what did that first deal that you did as a GP look like? Was that a deal that you found or did you start working with another general partner who had the deal and then you guys brought something to the table like we talked about before?
[00:11:57] Srey Rollins: Yeah. So in this particular one word, we are working with a, an operator and, they are. me making many of those decisions and what I'm bringing to the table. And this part is the capital, a component of the capital we're raising, quite a bit and that's how that's going to go.
[00:12:17] Tim Little: Yeah, because people need to understand the deals don't happen without capital, right? and a lot of times these operators are doing the day to day running and putting together of these deals, finding the right property managers, working with legal, all those things that also need to happen. And not every partner can do that. and so that's why, again, we have those different roles that come into play in these deals. And it's important that people understand that. All right. Multifamily,has been, it's a pretty competitive space, right? For a little while, I felt like everybody was doing it. And while I would say most of the people that I've interacted with in this industry are pretty cordial and supportive, the business itself can get stressful as anyone who has been in it within the past year or two, can tell you. Tell me how you stay positive, in this business and stay motivated, even when things get a little bumpy like they have in the past year or two.
[00:13:17] Srey Rollins: I'm going to be completely transparent with you. Some days, it, I have a type A personality. I am someone that when I set a goal, I like to accomplish it. And when your goal, your why, your mission statement is to help people and empower people to help them grow. And, so it became a part of me to want to spread this knowledge so that people can have this ability for them to. Create wealth or create the legacy the way that they defined it. So when I wasn't able to articulate the business model to someone and they decided not to invest,it actually made me feel like I failed in my journey to help them. But what I've learned over time is one, they have to be willing and wanting to raise their financial IQ. They have to be open. to receive that information. And again, God's timing is not my timing. So maybe it wasn't the right timing. so that's what has gotten me through it. As long as I keep going, and it's not a per that I haven't personally failed, it's just they weren't ready to hear the information. The timing wasn't right. and I just keep pressing forward. My success and the success of our organization doesn't rest solely on me. I have an entire team of people that are helping us create those opportunities for people. And as long as we stay true to our brand promise, then that's what keeps us going every day. Yeah, no, me going.
[00:14:52] Tim Little: You're absolutely right that timing is a huge part of investing, right? And, maybe you caught them right after they had just invested in another deal and they don't have any capital available right now. Or, Sometimes it's a matter of the deal not being a good fit for that investor, whether it's because of their risk tolerance or what they're interested in right now. So all you can do is, make it available to them and have a good understanding of what it is they're looking to do. And then, the rest is up to them.
[00:15:24] Srey Rollins: absolutely. That's what I've come to terms with is, my role. My purpose here is to provide people with information a new way, maybe a different way, and if they're ready to receive it and can step away from some of the fear that's involved in doing something new, perhaps, we can grow something wonderful together and that's what's kept me going.
[00:15:44] Tim Little: Yeah, and let's dig into that a little bit in terms of in your talks with investors or potential investors. What is the biggest element of fear that you see creeping up in those conversations? Is it fear of just not being familiar with the asset? Because so many people have never even heard of it. real estate syndication, right? For us, it's obvious because we were in the industry. So we're like, Oh, everybody knows about it, but that's not the case at all. Is it just the lack of awareness that you usually see, or is it something else?
[00:16:19] Srey Rollins: it's a lack of awareness coupled with what is known. What I have, as I've spoken with other people, is money traumas.so there was one investor in particular, and I've actually never met the actual investor. I've only dealt with it. The person's daughter who, like myself, handles the family's finances. And they had a bad experience with passive investing. So going forward, their grandfather said, as a family, as we invest moving forward, we are not doing passive investments. We are active in everything we do. So even though she has grown her financial IQ and has presented different opportunities for her family. That fear that was instilled has prevented them from reaching out and trying new things. Now, since our conversation and we talked about that fear, I pointed out to her that, oh, that's a money trauma. And we had the opportunity to speak on that money trauma. It opened her eyes and also opened her father's eyes as well. Now they're open to actually investing in this type of. passive investing because we've learned about some of the pros and cons and things of that nature. But that's what it is. It's that money trauma. That's what I've seen with the people that I've been speaking with and all ages, all sorts of background, their experiences with money have shaped how they're going to invest and will invest.
[00:18:23] Tim Little: That's really interesting because I think so many people assume that it's just the numbers, right? show me the numbers on this deal and that will dictate whether someone invests. But I think you and I both know that's usually not the case. That's not what, it's not what they're actually worried about. Most of it comes down to either trust or like you said, money trauma. So more of that psychological aspect isn't what you would think right off the bat, but is more often than not the case.
[00:18:52] Srey Rollins: And I think for myself, I could admit that's one of the things that I have a challenge with in raising capital. In my previous role, in healthcare, my last position was a solutions analyst. If there's a problem, I will give you a solution. But in this type of relationship, it's not about the math. Math can be math all at once. But if the person is not emotionally tied to it in some way, it's what I'm finding the most, they won't invest and it's not hard, but it's challenging to just help them open their eyes and consider new things. And if those, and that takes time in any relationship, it takes time.
[00:19:32] Tim Little: So I would say to other people who are out there, trying to raise capital, what not give yourself grace. Give your team grace. It takes time to build these relationships and get people to try something new. That's why I always think it's hilarious when I see these pitches about becoming an active investor and they're like, become financially free, in one deal. And I'm like, no,that's not how this works actually. I'll
[00:19:57] Srey Rollins: Yeah,
[00:19:57] Tim Little: let everyone choose their own path. you talk a lot about the financial IQ And I also saw in your bio that your brand promise is to empower, build, and breathe. Can you break those down and explain to me what exactly that means? from your perspective.
[00:20:11] Srey Rollins: Yeah. I'd love to. so the investor journey is really important for us at Aisling. We feel that it is our purpose. To help our investors steward, we're just as when you're investing with us, we're just stewards of that money. And as a proper steward, the first thing we want to do is understand what that legacy is that you want to create, like what is that definition and everybody has a definition of legacy. For myself, we don't have children, another story, another time. We've tried for many years. So our legacy is not for our direct children, but for the nonprofit that we want to open, it's the amount of money that we want to provide to our church. It's the type of aid that we want to give to single parents and survivors of sexual traumas. That's the legacy that we want to leave behind. So with our investors, that empowerment starts with first helping them, on them sharing with us what is legacy for them, right? And then we empower them by raising their financial IQ, by joining our capital community. They're learning about different ways to invest different ways to access capital. in passively or actively. So from there, as we empower them, they start to build. The building is an investment. Now you're starting to pull the different ways for you to access capital, whether it's a tax free account, whether it's,self banking or infinite banking, whatever it is that might be a good plan for them. They start to build. And the breathing portion is that once you have that financial IQ. Once you start building it, you can now take a breath and not feel so pressured that you're not achieving what it is you're set out for yourself and your family. So it's just that sigh of relief that we want our investors to experience.
[00:22:10] Tim Little: Yeah, I liked that last one. Cause that was the one I was more curious about was the breath and it all makes sense now that I hear you explain it. because yeah, the best deals as far as I'm concerned for my investors are the ones where they don't have to think about. Yeah, they get their monthly update and they're like, great. Everything's going awesome. These things are not short term. This is not like day trading. These are five to seven year timelines that we're talking about. And if they're anxious about that entire period, that's, we are doing a disservice. it's, That's exactly what I'd like to see is that breathe where they can finally relax and be like, okay I know things are going well, if things are not going well, Tim will let me know but for now everything's looking great
[00:22:53] Srey Rollins: Yeah. And it's really quite interesting when we talk about the things that prevent people from investing that money trauma. A lot of investors put their money in the stock market. And I would say eight out of 10 people that I've spoken with, they have no, even no idea what their returns are. They're just. Setting and forgetting, right? But then when you offer this new opportunity where they could also set and forget, it's a bit scary, but it's really the same thing. And,
[00:23:20] Tim Little: exactly. And why is it scary? Just because it's not , they aren't exposed to it all the time, right? It's not on CNBC. It's not on Bloomberg all the time but it's just as common for higher net worth individuals to invest in these types of products as it is stocks. So it shouldn't be scary. We just need to shine the light on it. That's all.
[00:23:43] Srey Rollins: absolutely.
[00:23:44] Tim Little: Awesome. So tell me a little more about Aisling. Nowadays what you guys are investing in and if you foresee that changing it all over the next couple of years just based on what you're seeing
[00:23:57] Srey Rollins: Okay, great question. as we've gotten ourselves into rooms with different people that are. smarter than me, have higher financial IQs and are wealthier, in that relationship building, we have been approached by other types of investors who are doing boutique hotels, they're doing,help me out here, assisted luxury, assisted living resorts, things like that. So we are looking to branch into, not just multifamily investing, but in boutique hotels and potentially as luxury assisted living resorts too.
[00:24:31] Tim Little: yeah and that's that brings to mind the fact that there are so many different types of commercial real estate out there people just think oh apartment buildings that is not it right there like you said there's assisted living luxury assisted and so many others you have your traditional value add multifamily, which is what I was in for most of this time. But now I'm starting to look at ground up development just cause it may make more sense in the current environment that we're in and you have to keep assessing, right? Like it, it may not make sense to do the same type of product. In perpetuity you may need to adjust based on what the market looks like returns, etc that's awesome that you guys are looking into those less common things there's stuff that i've seen that i'm not necessarily ready to jump into yet Like car washes is one that i've seen a lot and I live in florida So I know the value of a car wash because there's one every mile to the point where i'd be more concerned about saturation than anything else and then ATMs and stuff like that. But, I think it's just a matter of educating yourself once you move into those different assets, because obviously they're going to have different considerations, and valuations. And as long as you guys understand that and you're able to communicate it to your investors, then you might be able to find those hidden gems out there that others might be missing because they're not looking at those different asset types.
[00:25:59] Srey Rollins: You brought up a really good point, actually segue into something else that Aisling is moving into. So we are launching our new vertical in February, as capital lenders ourselves. So we will be lending capital out to different types of developers, whether it's in multifamily or fix and flips, things of that nature. So that's something that we are going to be launching and,really excited to see where that vertical is going to take us. Thank you.
[00:26:24] Tim Little: Now let's jump into that then. So are you, since you brought it up,what is that going to look like? Is that going to be like a fund? that you're going to run in terms of your taking in investor capital vetting the deals of other operators and then investing that way, with capital or something different.
[00:26:43] Srey Rollins: something different. So, when we are capital lending, that's going to be something that we're actually loaning privately. We are not intending on taking other investors at this time. And for those, we do have some investors that want to grow their wealth, with smaller money moves. So they got a couple grand and stuff. So in our Ashley Investment Group syndication, and sometimes we do fund to funds. and whatnot. The people that want to invest with us in that way, they would invest through Oshley Investment Group. But with Oshley Capital, we're just loaning out money. We're not going to be partnering, taking on other investors with us at this time. And we might, because eventually people run out of funds. Yes. Yeah. No, money is always a problem. So if you're able to provide that as a solution, you'll always be in demand. And that's what we've loved about real estate. It started us out, like just immigrants coming into this town into the United States with nothing, literally nothing. And it's allowed us to have this home here in Hawaii. We have helped friends and family along the way to grow their portfolios. and we've used to borrow money from people. And we still do right with all our different projects, but now it's given us the ability to become lenders ourselves. So I'm really excited about that.
[00:28:07] Tim Little: Yeah, that's awesome. And you talk about the financial IQ and that just makes me think about financial literacy, which I think is something that's You know, woefully missing in one our schools, but to society in general, and I'm a huge advocate for, not, not just my own kids, but anyone who will listen, in terms of making them smarter so that they can make smarter decisions for themselves about their own money and how to grow it. and not just go with whatever it was their parents did and their parents before them, because if their parents are like my parents, They didn't necessarily have money to invest, so they didn't know anything about investing. and so therein lies the problem with this. With a lot of people. And yeah, raising that financial IQ, that financial literacy is a big part of my mission as well.
[00:28:53] Srey Rollins: That's wonderful. That's something that I have. We share the same passion in that regard. I actually started reaching out to different high schools in the area to speak and share with these young minds about all the different Things that you can do in real estate and I'm still advocating for them to go to college. That's super important for me I feel like that is important and trust me There are many people that have created a lot of wealth and prosperity without going to college But being that i'm speaking at a high school gym, I encourage that quite a bit but I want to open their eyes and it's really interesting because they'll go to their parents and be like, hey, have you heard of this? And then their parents are like who the heck are you?
[00:29:36] Tim Little: Oh, that's awesome. All right. We do have to transition to the turbo round now. So I'm going to ask you three questions that I ask every guest, and I'm just going to ask you for a quick, honest answer. Are you ready to go?
[00:29:48] Srey Rollins: okay, here we go
[00:29:49] Tim Little: All right, first question. What is one red flag every investor should look out for?
[00:29:55] Srey Rollins: Promises that don't come with the word projected if people are saying that you will get this in Absolution, it's a major red flag for me because there's so many things in investment that you have no control over so it's important that the person is using words that Will let you know that they're Making their business model with, conservative numbers.
[00:30:22] Tim Little: Yes, and I would say if you ever see the word guaranteed, in an investment, then you should probably just run away. Because as much as we like, real estate and it's backed by something real, something physical that we can see and add value to, unlike, Stocks which you know are pieces of paper representing companies which are something but it's not the same thing as something that's backed up by brick and mortar, etc There's still risk involved in any investment. So yeah, if that sponsor is not making that clear then they are not doing that part of their job
[00:30:57] Srey Rollins: absolutely.
[00:30:57] Tim Little: All right. What is a myth about this business that you would like to set straight?
[00:31:02] Srey Rollins: About the business, I'm sure of this myth, you people have heard it time and time again, but it still rings true today and that you need to have massive amounts of wealth in order to create wealth. Yes. You need to have some money to start the game. But you can start as little as a couple grand, right? the single mom or a family who got their tax return. They can use that money to start a small investment as joining capital groups, such as myself or others out there where you're just putting small money moves in to create wealth. You don't need a huge amount. You can buy your first investment property. There are loans out there. It's 0 percent down.
[00:31:44] Tim Little: Yep it's certainly possible and I mean You know, like I'm in the military and anyone, any military member who will listen, I'll say, Hey, use your VA loan because a VA loan, you can use 0 percent down now. It's, and everybody's situation is different. So I'm not necessarily saying that's the best choice for everyone. And don't. Don't get ahead of your skis in terms of what you can afford, but there's unique aspects to it, like buying a duplex with your VA loan and being able to count the rent for that second unit as to qualify, et cetera. Living on one side and renting out the other, where. If the 20 year old me knew that, then I could have set myself on a much faster trajectory to build wealth and to build my real estate empire. had I started 10, 15 years earlier, knowing now what, knowing then what I know now. So yeah, that's
[00:32:40] Srey Rollins: I absolutely agree with you Tim and thank you. I appreciate your service. My family does.
[00:32:46] Tim Little: Oh, thank you. All right. Final question. What does success look like to you? And you can take that either personally, professionally, wherever you want to take it.
[00:32:55] Srey Rollins: Okay, gosh, professionally. It will be that we've been able to live out that brand promise to empower our investors in the legacy that they have defined to help them build a legacy that they can rely on and to breathe in what it is that they've invested in, who they have invested with and who they are investing for, right? That would be a success for us as a company. Personally, success for me is being able to live out God's purpose that he has, outlined for myself and for my husband. Through our purpose, we hope that we can help to educate others and let others help themselves in achieving what it is that they would like for their legacy.
