Sid Bahadur Explains Why Strong Underwriting Is the Key to Surviving Real Estate Investing

Sid Bahadur (00:00)
Oh, for sure. So, you know, I always say the money’s made in the buyer, the money’s made in the underwriting. Like once you bought the house at that point, for the most part, your destiny’s already decided, except for like, you know, if you decide to blow up your costs yourself, but for the most part, your underwriting is already decided at that point. So when we look at a deal, like, you we’re analyzing close to right now, my own metrics that I was looking at, on average, we analyze 144 deals to pull the trigger on one deal on average.

Micah Johnson (02:01)
Hello everyone, welcome to the Real Estate Pros Podcast. I’m your host, Micah Johnson. And today I’m joined by Sid, who’s been making some serious moves in real estate investing now for the last 14 years. Sid, man, glad to have you.

Sid Bahadur (02:14)
I’m glad to be here as well. Thank you for having me over.

Micah Johnson (02:18)
excited for you to be here today. ⁓ You got a lot going on and one of my favorite things about what you do is you live out what you talk about.

You don’t just invest, you also do some brokerage stuff. I’m to focus on the investing today. But I just love for folks that come on the show that just live and breathe what we talk about so others can learn from them, especially in the kind of markets that we’re in. There’s some stuff you’re going to share and pump there too. So let’s dig in, man. For folks who aren’t familiar with you yet, tell us a little more about yourself and what your main focus is right now.

Sid Bahadur (02:50)
so we actually have a couple of businesses in the Seattle area. One’s an Airbnb property management company, one’s a construction business, and one’s a brokerage. My recent focus has been a lot on the development side, which is new construction, building new homes, and also on the flipping side is remodeling homes as well.

And one of the biggest things

Micah Johnson (03:13)
Sorry. Hit me with it. No, sorry. Go ahead.

Sid Bahadur (03:15)
Yeah, and one of the biggest reasons for that is Washington just announced zoning law changes as of last year. And so we’re all trying to take advantage of the new middle housing zoning laws in which now you can put in three homes on one lot instead of only one single family home on one lot. That’s been our primary driver for the massive focus here.

Micah Johnson (03:35)
That’s huge. That’s a significant change,

Sid Bahadur (03:40)
Absolutely, yeah. And Washington’s pretty, unfortunately, land and water locked because we have mountains on the east side and on the west side we have the sea, so we don’t really have a lot of land. And so, especially the Seattle area, so to be able to push more housing out, we need to be able to expand for more density. So that’s really opened up lot of opportunity for, you know, for the population growth we’re seeing right now and for the demand for housing we’re seeing.

Micah Johnson (04:07)
So what led you here, man? How did you get to where you are today?

Sid Bahadur (04:11)
Yeah, so 2009, my wife actually was the first one who started investing right after crisis. And she bought her first house for, I think, $6,000 in the after the online crisis. things were just selling for pennies on the dollar at that time and started becoming a landlord. And we kept on first, originally expanding into rental portfolio and eventually mastered rental portfolio of 33 doors or so.

We’re like, hey, that’s a lot already. I don’t think we need any more in rental. And so then we decided to go for property management on not long-term rental, but short-term rental. And that expanded, that grew as well. And after that we started brokerage and brokerage volume now is also $50 million a year or so. And then finally we went into construction and flipping. were like, hey, we already doing burs by the finance and ⁓ rent.

why don’t we do more so on the sellers’ And so that has been our recent focus. And as you get more and more into the real estate industry, you find new mentors, you find new people to work with, and your network just expands, and your knowledge base just expands.

Micah Johnson (06:12)
And what you do expands too. Like your story through the industry, it’s so natural for investors to just grow. That the thing you get started doing nine times out of 10 ain’t going to be the thing that you finished doing. Whatever finishing even looks like. ⁓ None of us know what that is yet because it’s not that we’re trying to work all the time, but we do enjoy what we do. ⁓ But no, it’s powerful,

Construct what shifted that focus to the new construction? Was that the change in zoning that was kind of taking advantage of the new opportunity?

Sid Bahadur (06:49)
Yeah, that was one big one. And predominantly, was the other one. was really the capital required. mean, rental, you know, the average deal size that we needed ourselves as well to be able to justify the time investment moved from, you know, as you evolve as well, like, hey, back in the day, if you were buying homes in Indiana for $200,000 a door, right, or $200,000 a home, or $100,000 a home. Now in Seattle, then we start buying for a million dollars a home, essentially, in the Seattle area.

And the thing is our capital needs just kept on going, our ability to invest capital kept on going more and more. And so we’re like, hey, what is the next best option? It’s either we’re in a commercial, which we were not really excited about going to commercially investing in general, A, because the market isn’t doing really good and B, kind of like ⁓ development and flipping as well, because we’ve done a couple of, ⁓

projects for ourselves when we were doing the BIRD method. And so we’re like, hey, this was more natural. that’s, guard us in. Yeah.

Micah Johnson (07:53)
That’s another thing I love about real estate right there is you can find the version that pays your emotional paycheck as well as your financial one really well. Like you don’t have to, mean, some folks just do it for money and that’s fine. I’m okay with that. You don’t have to like love what you do. You can love what it does for you, but finding a section in the business that you enjoy that process of it being done, it lets you live your real life because it’s easy in real estate to just live on closing days.

Right. When I first got into it, it’s like, you only wait for closing days, but that’s only every 45 to 90 days. So where’s the rest of your life go? Like, it feels like it’s just rushing by and then finding parts of the process. I enjoyed like living my normal day to day life out in was really important because it was like, wait a second. on. Where’s my life going?

Sid Bahadur (08:44)
Oh, yeah. I mean, I remember the thrill of the first paycheck and the thrill of the first transaction. And then, you know, there was a huge sugar rush that happened, sugar high that happens there. And it’s really amazing. But you’re right, like 45 days now, my transaction happening one a week right now. And so the thing is, I’ve gotten a bit numb to that side. It’s like, you’re right. Like, how do you… And over time, it changes as well, right? I got to the Maslow’s pyramid. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of that, of hierarchy.

you start wanting something more than money, right? Like, hey, how can I build a legacy? Now for me, my construction projects are like, I really enjoy the thoughtful nature of the homes. Hey, who’s my buyer to live with it? And can I design a home which is more optimized than competition and push a better product out and, you know, and sell it for obviously a higher price as well. And you’ll be surprised in this real estate industry, even in this 21st century,

with all the tools we have at our disposal, this industry is probably one of the most easy to enter and still disrupt as well, as long as you know what you’re doing really, really well, and you are more than 90 % of everyone else, like, know, in terms of your knowledge base, and you can hustle. Yeah, you can build a better product out, can build a better architecture product out, better design product out, and, you know, and sell it for a higher price. And that’s what I love about, you know, right now, new construction development.

This is what drives me right now. It’s super fun.

Micah Johnson (10:17)
Love it, man. I love the energy behind it. I can feel it because it’s again, you get that project that jazzes you up because it’s it’s triggering the entrepreneurial spirit. The ones at the highest level of this game, they’re always going to be the CEO of something real estate is the commodity they chose.

and building the machine that recreates what they want over and over and over becomes that thrill. And that simply becomes tweaking as you go by, which after 14 years, it’s not uncommon at all to lead into multiple businesses because it’s just what vertical integration looks like. If you’re already better at it and then you can do it for others, it’s just what it makes sense to do.

It just stacks on top of itself. And that’s what’s really cool about this industry is the way it does that. It’s like all your life experience counts somehow. Like whatever you’ve been through, you can leverage it into real estate. I promise.

Sid Bahadur (11:11)
Like definitely leverage it up like the burrs you leverage it to flip it right of course or the construction right and the beauty is our property management business our staff there the vertical integration of it they still help us out on the construction side like the design skills that they have we bring those designing team design skills for our projects there like for our you know it’s it’s that sort of vertical integration you never think about our listing you know brokers that we have and our listing staff that we have here

They help us even in other areas of transaction coordination and in our project management or construction project. Yeah, you wear multiple hats and that’s where it shows the best, for sure.

Micah Johnson (11:53)
What’s cool is you get to see the market across the board in your area the way you’re set up. You get to see it from the endpoint, like listing or agents moving properties so you know what buyers are already going after daily, which again, this is why I think it’s so important to have folks on the show that are living this out day to day because real estate changes fast.

And styles change fast and when they change they change you may get one stuck for a while like contractor gray was here for a hot minute, but when it goes it goes and you better know where it’s going and that’s what keeps you on those front lines because that determines We were talking a little bit about this up front ⁓ in the pre-call, but we can get it start getting into it now. That’s as much that’s as part of thinking about the buy

How am I, what am I going to do with this house when I sell it? And that is all those aren’t, you don’t make that stuff up along the way. Those are predetermined factors.

Sid Bahadur (12:49)
Oh, for sure. So, you know, I always say the money’s made in the buyer, the money’s made in the underwriting. Like once you bought the house at that point, for the most part, your destiny’s already decided, except for like, you know, if you decide to blow up your costs yourself, but for the most part, your underwriting is already decided at that point. So when we look at a deal, like, you we’re analyzing close to right now, my own metrics that I was looking at, on average, we analyze 144 deals to pull the trigger on one deal on average.

And so, and the reason for that as well for us is that the market, when there’s a lot of competition and there’s excess supply in the market, which we are in that market right now, you wanna make sure and you measure twice and cut once and get a deal that you’re gonna actually perform on. And we look at it from like when we’re buying, we have a seven point checklist of, hey,

If it’s a new construction project, hey, the utility is at, is the title allows multiple units to get built as an example? Is this an environmental critical area, et cetera? Because all of these checklists will add to our cost structure and may also reduce our sale price as an example. And so the money is made in the buy. We have a full pro forma underwriting we do every single time. And then we even have a rough site plan drafted up already that, this is how the units are going to lay out.

And based on if the units are all facing each other or facing the street, street facing front page always gets more money in pricing boost essentially of roughly four and a half percent or so. So we’ll that in the model and we’re like, hey, this is where our model is gonna look like. And then boom, we suddenly, after that, we’re ready to go execute essentially. Right after Fees is ready to start.

Micah Johnson (14:34)
I

that man and it’s very, very important to be that way in our curtain markets. The way things are right now, Florida’s softening too. Now every market’s nuanced, so you may be in one that’s not that way out there, but a lot of markets right now are softening, where inventory’s up, where

it’s going to expose your gaps if it

already in the past few years. And that’s why these kind of markets make you get good or make you go.

There’s no way in between when it comes to that it forces you to see Okay, what is a good deal? How do I how do I buy this? You’re not I was talking to a guy just before this call on the phone Same kind of thing locking out. It’s not about It is it good. I would rather buy nothing. He did 75 deals in 2024. He did four last year

because you were just not going to mess with it, didn’t want to do it. And it’s like that kind of discipline is what’s necessary. You can’t get bored. I know we like to get bored and do something. Believe me, I really have want to make an offer on something right now. And I’m making myself take my own medicine because it’s easy to do. You just want to action. You want to action. But I’ve heard this recently, no deal is better than a bad deal. And I’m hopping on that train.

Sid Bahadur (16:30)
I had a particular no deal is better than a bad deal for sure. And you know, like the biggest thing as a real estate investor, especially if this is your four time job is you, know, you’re psychologically, you know, if you’re not doing anything, A, I, you feel haughty because I’m like, Hey, I haven’t done anything. I haven’t done anything. And I’m just seeing my bills go up, up, up, et cetera, essentially. Right. And so that urge, need to be able to control your urge there and say, Hey, you know where like,

there’s going be better deals here, better deals here. Let’s be disciplined. What is our underwriting standard? And let’s keep that standard the same way. And whatever way your underwriting standard is, right? Whether you’re acquiring an rental property or you’re acquiring a flip or you’re acquiring a construction project, whatever it is, is you have to have a disciplined standard.

Micah Johnson (17:17)
Let’s talk to our newer folks out there. So if you’re new, getting into this, thinking about getting into this industry, I want to talk to them for a second, just so that they realize real estate is a cycle. It is a timing thing. Luck is involved with it. It just is. You cannot take that personal at all in any way. We were all born into it. This was happening before we got here. Everybody that’s alive right now. So when you’re getting into a market like it is right now,

What word of warning would you give them and how to sharpen their axe as it were? What would you encourage them to do in that position if you were getting started in a market like today?

Sid Bahadur (18:03)
Yeah, that’s a great question. So I’ll tell you, least in the Seattle market, every deal that you’re seeing on the market has been probably shopped around five times over. Every wholesale deal that’s been brought over to you, you are not magically getting the first deal on your lap. And so if you are underwriting, seeing every deal as being a quote unquote good deal, there’s something wrong in your deal flow. You need to start understanding.

To my part, it’s 144 is to one. Doesn’t have to be 144 is to one. Maybe it’s 90 for you, but it can’t be, hey, one is to one or two is to one. Every two deals I’m looking, I’m buying the, you know, there’s definitely something wrong. So that’s one thing. And then second thing I would recommend is if you’re underwriting your first project, you will always assume that you’re always underwriting on a higher

a rosier exit and a lower cost than it’s going be in reality. Why? Because most of the time as a first-time investor, you’re to be taking the deals that other people are passing on and they’re passing on because they have information asymmetry about the exit, which you don’t. For example, one of the most common mistakes that I’ve seen first-time flippers do is, or first-time developers, let’s talk about that. If I’m buying a line for 1 million and selling for 3 million, 3X is a typical good rule to have in thumb because you’re set.

buying for one million, construction for one more million, and then half a million for debt costs and sale costs, et cetera, and you have a half a million profit. If I know it’s on a busy street, I know there’s a 10 % reduction in exit, in home values going down. And so Flipper, developers buying the first time would buy that $1 million at a 10 % discount or buy at $900,000. The way developers think as example is not that way.

The way developers think is, my exit is now going down from 3 million down by 10 % to 2.7 million now. And also on a busy street, if I’m buying an RTL or a busy street, my construction cost actually goes up because my utility pools become more expensive because I end up blocking and navigate traffic, et cetera. And so now suddenly my construction cost went up, my exit went down by 300,000. At a minimum, I need to take a reduction

in price off that line and nothing else has changed. My profit needs to be the same. I need to take a reduction on my profit in line value from 1 million to 700, maybe even 650. And so suddenly now for a first time developer that $900,000 deal that two is to one ratio magically this looks like a deal because every other home is selling for 1 million. Yeah, I’m getting $100,000 discount ends up being that I’m overpaying by 200 grand. And this is where like, like when you’re looking at these deals is okay, what are the characteristics? Hey, if I’m by a cemetery,

And cemeteries lots by cemeteries sell for like 24 % less on price per square for basis, for example. And so if you’re buying something like that and you’re like, hey, I’m getting a 10 % discount there, that’s not enough of a discount. And the discount needs to be on the exit value, not on the entry value. And so like, you know, those are some harder lessons that, you know, people need to know is like, hey, you need to understand what are the things that I buy missing. And sometimes what helps us having an investor broker.

to help guide you, someone who’s done it before, someone’s there who’s reviewing the deals. And obviously they’re getting paid through the, you know, helping you buy the home and obviously helping you sell the home. But it’s worth it to get a competent person who’s done it, then getting burned yourself. Because suddenly you pay, you save 25,000 commission, and you may end up paying 200,000 additional in the home value, right? In this case, sorry.

Micah Johnson (21:53)
Exactly. like to tell folks in that scenario, you know how much money you’re saving, but you have no idea how much you’re fixing to lose. Right. It’s, we, we get chintzy about that and get the education. We buy education all the time. It’s funny to me in real estate folks just want to learn the hard way where we you’ve gone to school here in America. You’ve been in school for a long time. Like it’s normal for us to buy education. However, it’s not normal to buy this kind of education. It’s not as helpful usually, ⁓ but yeah.

Different conversation. However, go get it. Go find that person in your market that is active because Facebook or real estate investors are active. They’re out there meeting people. They’re doing things. Go figure out where they are and talk to them because what Sid laid out is very important and it was super in depth. And I hope you can see that as you get going along, 70 % of ARB minus rehab is not enough.

that is not, they’re leaving out so much in that formula. You’re looking at a quick hand on a way up swinging market and it’s just not enough. And that’s why I’m really glad you dove in there because that’s where, when a deal comes across my desk right now, that’s what I consistently see. I consistently see a 25 to 35,000 overpriced because you leave the same stuff out over and over and over again. And then if you’re actually,

buying that deal like you’re saying. It breaks my heart how many folks you hear the first one was not good. And then what breaks my heart even more is they never come back. And you were in that you had access to the greatest wealth generator the world has ever known that really I grew up with not much in a farming world. Like I never had access to stuff like this before until I was like, holy cow, look at this. This is awesome.

Right? And it’s just about learning and applying. And this is a long game. It’s not quick. It’s not one inning. It’s a lot of innings.

Sid Bahadur (23:58)
sure. Yep, for sure. It’s definitely a game of discipline and patience. so don’t jump in just because you saw one Instagram video about, I flipped and I made half a million dollars. I flipped and made $100,000. Go in because, hey, I learned this. This is where I’m going to do it. You know, how are we going to do it essentially? Absolutely. Yeah.

Micah Johnson (24:18)
Right. And plan to stay in. Will you get that $100,000, $500,000 flip? You will if you learn to hit singles and doubles. Home runs always come home if you learn how to do it.

Sid Bahadur (24:31)
I’m literally listing a flip this week that is probably going to be a million dollars in profit. We bought it for 1.3 million. We spent close to $800,000 in, and this is the client of mine. He’s a repeat flipper as me as well. We spent 800 grand in the remodel and we’re going to be listing it for three and a half million or so, including sale costs and all of that. Even after that, it’s going be a million plus in profit. So, but you know, for all of those, I also have deals which are, you know, making a hundred or two hundred.

But when I’m underwriting all of those deals,

I am trying to underwrite with at least a 15 % profit margin, if not 20, because if the market goes down by five or 10, I still want to come out alive and not be left with nothing.

Micah Johnson (26:01)
Well, you see what happened in 2008. Like you, if, if, if you were anywhere near real estate and it was hard not to be, if you’re our age and I’m 40, if you’re, if I wasn’t that old then, but I still saw what was happening. It’s hard not to be because ADHD hit me and I forgot what I was going to say right there. It was a really great point, but then it ran off. Um, simply, but it’s, it’s, it’s around that. Just getting caught is.

is what we’re not trying to do. And the way you don’t get caught is you be disciplined. You discipline yourself. It’s a get rich slow scheme, if you want to call it that, whatever it is. And you surround yourself with people. What I love about this industry is how many high level real estate people would love to tell you. They like talking. They like teaching. There’s a lot of abundance energy because the best earned it. And they know no one’s just going to come take that from them. That’s not the way that works.

Oh, that’s what that was connected back to is 14 years that you’ve gone 14 years to be able to do that deal that you’re talking about. You couldn’t have just started and did it. You couldn’t have started yesterday and do that deal. You know what saying? Like, Oh my God.

Sid Bahadur (27:14)
I wish I could teach all of this that I learned from my own deal experience and from other people’s deal experiences back in the day to be able to effectively coach ourselves. I’ll give you an example. ⁓ The city allowed a zoning law to get changed to allow from three story homes, town homes to get built four story. And I was like, that sounds like a bad idea because three is already, you know, so.

For those of you who don’t know, when you’re in the ride, you’re in the with price per square foot basis. Hey, how much are we gonna sell? Let’s go sell for, say, 500 bucks per square foot. A two-story home may sell for 500. Three stories will take a 14 % price per square foot discount. And so now the pressure means now what I know is I would have said, hey, you know what? I think there’s gonna be another 14 % discount on the price per square foot off the three-story thing, Sid. But if I was the first time doing it, I would have just taken, price per square foot is everything.

Let’s just take the average 500 of square foot without context and do it. So yeah, this is a lot of stuff that’s been built over a whole decade plus now.

Micah Johnson (28:22)
And it’s what you go through and it’s just the part and it’s why you earn your seat at the table. That’s why I tell a lot of folks, you hear guys and girls come in and you know, want to own a thousand units. Like, okay, that’s fine. Are you willing to become the person who can own a thousand units? Cause that’s all real estate’s gonna ask of you. Are you willing to become who is necessary to do what you want to do? That’s it.

Will you or will you not? And if you will, great. Like, it’s not up to me. It’s up to you. How are you going to play the game? And along the way, so many find out they never wanted a thousand units. So it’s just this made up thing in their head of what they thought would get them what they wanted versus, just show up each day, get it done. Keep your vision in your mind, but keep getting the things done. Because in reality, we live in a market or we live in a world where we, chase a market that moves is volatile.

It goes up and down. It lives in 18 year cycles, more years. Like there’s more studies than you want that you can read on how that works. And you just have to accept that. What’s working now? That’s what you’re looking for. What is the product that’s moving? So as you continue to grow, don’t be surprised if a couple years in it shifts where wholesaling becomes the thing that you need to move because the other pieces aren’t working or whatever it is. Like you’re experiencing with new builds.

something changes in the market and boom, now we got an action to take because that’s what makes you the investor is sitting back looking at the market, taking advantage of what happens.

Sid Bahadur (29:54)
Yeah, and speaking of the cyclicality aspect, right? This is something, it is a very cyclical industry in general, right? Typically, one of the best things that I’ve learned over my career as well is, at the tail end of the market, there’s a lot more investors who come in who don’t understand how to run the ride. And if the market dips, because there’s a vacuum left by people who are seeing that decline happening, they come in, they make it burn, right?

At that point in time, wholesaling is actually really nice because you’re selling shovels to people who are diggored essentially. But wholesaling right after the market dips is very tough because all those people who want to diggored are already burned out. And so right after the dip happens, a lot of wholesalers, unfortunately. you know, like, hey, sell shovel right before the market is dipping, but after market dips, then you actually want to be the one buying all those deals to buy whether it be as rental or as that.

And so like take advantage of that every cyclicality, when obviously it’s going up, you’re really invested in putting more in development and flip projects and burr projects and you’re taking advantage of that going up, right? So every phase, like you said, make hay while the sun shines and wherever you find that, do it. Don’t be stuck to one idea for sure.

Micah Johnson (31:10)
It can’t be because what you got to look at what are the best doing right in 2008. Warren was sitting on the most cash he had in a long time and then he started spending it and spending it and spending it. And then this last time, guess what he’s done? He’s now sitting again on the most cash and that’s what the best are doing because they know we’re entering in a cycle where you buy because it runs what we’re talking about out. call it the riff raff.

It may, it just shakes loose all this stuff that’s in the system kind of hung up in there and boom, it falls out. And if you don’t got any money, you don’t get to play the game. ⁓ Sid. Okay. Let me ask you this, man. What are you excited about for this year? What’s going on in y’all’s world? What you’re pumped about.

Sid Bahadur (31:57)
I’m really excited for the, so typically the second half of the year is a shake out in the market that always happens. Spring time is always busy, market goes up and after summertime it goes down. This year I’m really excited for that shake out to happen, especially we are hoarding a lot of cash to get more deals in, to acquire. My goal is to acquire another six projects or so this year. That being said, I’m not really married to a number, not really setting myself up because that’s what really sets yourself for failure is like you’re

setting a target for numbers. But we have the project bandwidth to acquire more and more and for the next four months. Get those done and get those listed in the spring market. That is honestly the best opportunity we’re seeing right now is this. So hold it

Micah Johnson (32:43)
Love that man. I love the way you’re facing that goal too. Let’s talk about that for just a second. Where when you’re setting goals, don’t make them arbitrary. Don’t beat yourself up, right? We have these desires to do things, but the market determines what we’re going to do. you got to be really careful. I’m going to double my business this year. Okay.

I’m okay with that, but does the market say that that’s possible? What does the data say? And now what actions are you taking based on the data? Because now you’re getting somewhere. And I love that you’re putting that mindset in because if you’re out there listening or watching in and you got that backwards and it’s easy to do, a lot of us do it because we put numbers and we’re high achievers and just wind us up and let us go. Don’t just go do, right? Understand what you’re doing. Is it in line?

There’s a really good book out there called Bumpers by Nick Peterson that’s about that of do things that keep things going.

Micah Johnson (33:43)
Well, Sid, man, I really appreciate your time here today, your perspective, your story. Thanks for sharing it with us. think we need more folks out there like yourself doing it, building a real business in the industry. So what do you got for folks here at the end? What’s the sign off thought you have for them?

Sid Bahadur (34:00)
Yeah, I would say is your ⁓ best friend is underwriting. So focus on that, focus on developing that skill, tagging along with other people who have done it before you and what was their mistakes. That is the biggest skill that will help you succeed in this industry. Then you’ll need to learn how to do project management. You’ll also need to learn how to do design or whatever certainty that you have in that niche and people management as if your business grows.

Your focus, the number one skill is always you need to be able write your own deals really, really well. You cannot outsource this to a wholesaler, you cannot outsource it to your broker. Have an independent opinion on why you think words.
