One of the most recession-resistant asset classes is warehouse investment, and today we sit with industry expert Scott Krone to find out why. With a Master\\u2019s of Architecture from Illinois Institute of Technology, Scott is the Founder of Coda Management Group; a company that specializes in creating and seeking existing warehouse investment opportunities. We open the show by hearing more from Scott about Coda and what they do in the real estate space. Scott then talks about warehouses as an asset class and draws relatable comparisons to multi-family. He notes why warehouse investment is a simplified version of multifamily, and how they\\u2019re typically favorable toward NNN leases. Looking at present times, we ask Scott to tell us about how his warehouses have performed during the coronavirus pandemic. Listeners will delight in some of the ways this asset class has soared, as Scott uses examples of basketball and indoor golf. Following this, Scott gets into the nitty-gritty things and explains how he evaluates markets for warehouse opportunities, the strengths of warehouse opportunities, and who he works with to find inventory. To conclude the show, we ask Scott about his biggest business blunders and what his most useful industry tool is. Be sure to join us today!\\xa0

\\u201cOur main portfolio of investments right now is actively pursuing self-storage opportunities \\u2014 either creating them or looking for existing opportunities.\\u201d \\u2014 Scott Krone [0:02:03]
\\u201cIf you\\u2019re doing a triple net lease, then it\\u2019s just straight income to you and your tenant takes care of the rest. So within our flex warehouse space, we have modified gross and triple net leases. It\\u2019s much easier for us to manage compared to multi-family.\\u201d \\u2014 Scott Krone [0:03:27]
\\u201cWarehouses are much more predictable. We could look at demographics, saturations, market rates \\u2014 it\\u2019s a lot more analytical than comparatively to multi-family.\\u201d \\u2014 Scott Krone [0:02:05]
\\u201cWe\\u2019re not going in paying top dollar, we\\u2019re coming in and making sure that we have a competitive advantage once we do buy. We truly believe that you make your money on the buy, not on the sell.\\u201d \\u2014 Scott Krone [0:09:01]
