In this episode they cover: - Initial underwriting – KRI uses a bottom-up approach to underwriting their deals. They may initially use generalizations and averages, but before taking a deal seriously, they always perform a detailed bottom-up underwriting model. - Takeover plan – Ken talks about KRI’s 90 day, three phase takeover plan. Each phase is designed to meet certain goals, and, within 90 days, the property has definitely adopted the KRI way of doing business. - Occupancy – KRI is always focused on occupancy. No matter what! Even during renovation periods. There is no reason to let occupancy slip below 90%. To do so usually leaves a lot of operating cash flow on the table. - People – Finally, and probably most importantly, KRI is always focused on the people they are affecting. So many times, investment firms forget that they are dealing with someone’s home. They deserve the utmost respect and KRI always treats them fairly.
