Episode: CapEx Reserves, Delinquency Screens and Affordability Underwriting ft. Mike Roeder
Description: On this week’s episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Mike Roeder. They dig into lessons from scaling Granite Towers Equity Group, including why words matter at the property level and how third-party teams should embody owner values. Mike breaks down risk controls like raising CapEx up front instead of out of cash flow, screening hard for delinquency and true affordability, and favoring 1980s–2000s assets with seven-year fixed-rate debt. He also shares hands-on asset management plays, from incentivized collections specialists and secret shopping to revenue boosts like monetizing structured parking and bulk Wi-Fi.
