Welcome into the show I don't want to waste any time because we have a guest back by

popular demand Neil Bawa is back on the show today and I'm super excited to talk about the state of the market.

I mean that's the thing that's on everyone's mind right now under lockdown or quarantine.

Where is this virus right now?

How is it affected the real estate investors around the world and it's

great to have Neil back on the show. Welcome back my friend. Thanks for having me

again Clayton. Glad to be back. It's great to have you and I should mention of course Neil is the he's the founder of

multifamily.com and you just held a webinar last night you do webinars on a

regular basis tell us about the webinar you held last night

in the middle of this lockdown.

And how did it go?

Yeah, and we were very concerned that investors

had simply lost the will to invest because they were so frustrated and it turned out that we were completely wrong.

We had the largest investor audience in our history. We have 336 investors that showed up at the 90 minute

mark when we were answering questions. We still had 300 of them and we do a poll to

you know that basically we gather money using the poll that comes up at the 45 minute mark and we had about 18 million dollars that were verbally mentioned. I think that about nine million

of that will come in and that was a very very good result and surprisingly it

was very comparable to the raises that we did in December and January.

There didn't seem to be a change. And maybe that is because the stock market did go up last week

and made people feel a little wealthier or better.

But we were concerned that we would have trouble raising 3 million and so we hit 9 million.

So from an investor mindset perspective, that was a surprising but positive piece.
