Denis Shapiro from SIH Capital Group reveals the insider strategy that lets him acquire properties at $36,000 per door while competitors pay $100,000+ for the same rent levels. This isn't theoretical, this is exactly how he's building a portfolio of 300+ units with 98% occupancy rates that would make any operator jealous.<br /><br />THE LIHTC ADVANTAGE EXPLAINED 📊<br /><br />Denis breaks down the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program in plain English, showing how government subsidies create massive pricing disconnects in the market. He walks through real examples, including a property with a $3.2 million loan at 0% interest with only $12,000 annual debt service. The secret is targeting properties in their second 15-year compliance period when original developers are ready to exit but affordability restrictions still apply. This creates the perfect storm for investors willing to hold long-term and meet specific experience requirements.<br /><br />FROM LP TO OPERATOR: THE UNCONVENTIONAL PATH 🚀<br /><br />Most operators never experience the investor side of syndications, but Denis spent years as a limited partner before making the leap. He invested in 12 different deals, experienced three Ponzi schemes, and learned invaluable lessons about communication, transparency, and what investors really want. His investment club with just two other high-level executives became the training ground for analyzing deals and building the discipline that now defines his operating philosophy.<br /><br />Want to learn more about our guest?
