| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. My name is Gino Barber. I'm one of the co-founders of Jake and Gino. And in this |
| 0:04.8 | how-to video, we're going to be talking about GRM. What is GRM? We're going to be talking a little about |
| 0:11.7 | price per unit, the 1% rule. We may throw a little bit of cap rates in there. But to start out with, |
| 0:17.8 | GRM stands for gross rent multiplier. |
| 0:23.1 | The formula is your properties, purchase price, or the market value, divided by the gross |
| 0:29.4 | rental income. |
| 0:31.1 | I know when I first started out in investing in real estate, this is a quick way for me to |
| 0:35.4 | understand purchase price of a property in relation to how |
| 0:38.7 | much income you're getting from that property. Now, when I started out back in 2011 with Jake, |
| 0:46.1 | the GRM, the gross rental multiply was really low because property prices were low and the |

| 1:11.1 | People are, they're afraid. Prices are depressed. And why do you use this metric? That's the most |
| 1:17.2 | more important part that I want to talk about in this week's call. When we look at it, |
| 1:23.6 | it's one metric that we like to look at. Not the only metric, it's used as a rule of thumb. |
| 1:29.8 | And unfortunately, I can't say an eight gross rental multiplier is great because every market |
| 1:36.0 | is different. What I would do is I would go into the market that you're in and look at it historically. |
| 1:42.2 | And you'll see it was really low back in 2013, |
| 1:45.6 | 14. As we go into the cycle, it starts getting higher, higher, higher, and then all of a sudden |
