With nearly 20 years of experience and over $450M in developments, Kristi’s worked on everything from national retail rollouts to adaptive reuse and clean energy infrastructure. But today, she’s focused on helping locals take back control through her operating system for development, Dev-OS.

She shares how the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers Beach transformed her mission — and how regular people can now lead impactful local real estate development without waiting for permission or outside capital. From funding tips to dealing with cities to repurposing vacant buildings, Kristi offers a playbook anyone can follow.

We also dig into how she went from semi-pro beach volleyball to opening a regional office at 25, why developers blow millions unnecessarily, and the small-town coffee shop conversation that led to a 19-lot development. This episode is packed with practical advice, real stories, and next steps for anyone ready to build something meaningful where they live.

In this episode of the Cashflow Fight Club podcast, we sit down with Kendall Lajeune, founder of the Only Land Fans podcast and Facebook community with over 9,000 members, to break down his rise from high school band director to land investing leader.

Kendall shares the exact steps he used to scale up from zero to six-figure land flips — often without spending a dime. From his first infill lot to ditching houses entirely, he explains why land investing offers higher margins, less risk, and more scalability. He also discusses how he built a thriving community by focusing on education first — and what beginners get wrong when trying to enter the land space.

We dive deep into the power of wholesaling, the truth about land investing competition, and how to stand out using stellar customer experience and creative deal structures.

Plus, Kendall talks tech: how AI tools like ChatGPT are revolutionizing real estate operations — and how smart investors are already using them to build scalable systems and close more deals.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

02:16 - Steve's transition from theater to real estate investing

07:46 - The advantages of mobile home park investments

11:08 - Risks and red flags in mobile home park investing

23:47 - Passive income through note investing

45:01 - Leveraging virtual assistants for business growth

48:53 - The importance of finding the right partners in real estate

Episode Highlights:

[07:46] The Advantages of Mobile Home Park Investments

Mobile home parks have a recession-resistant nature and role in providing affordable housing without government subsidies. Steve emphasizes the potential for value-add projects in older parks and the benefits of economies of scale when investing in larger parks with 70+ lots. He also points out the dual income streams from lot rent and home payments, as well as the reduced competition in certain markets, particularly in the Midwest. Steve discusses the opportunity to improve parks and increase value through infrastructure upgrades, ultimately leading to the potential for higher returns compared to traditional real estate investments.

[11:08] Risks and Red Flags in Mobile Home Park Investing

Steve emphasizes the challenges posed by aging infrastructure in older parks, particularly underground utilities and the impact of harsh climates in northern regions. He warns about the significant costs associated with major upgrades, such as replumbing entire parks. He also highlights the importance of understanding local market dynamics and the potential difficulties in implementing new policies with existing tenants. Steve stresses the critical need for thorough due diligence to identify these issues before investing in a mobile home park.

[23:47] Passive Income Through Note Investing

Steve describes how investors can purchase notes on mobile homes within parks, typically starting at around $25,000. These investments offer returns between 8-12% over a 7-year term. Steve highlights that this method allows passive investors to benefit from the mobile home park's income stream without direct involvement in park operations. These are secure investments as they're backed by both the mobile home payments and the park itself, providing a safety net for investors even in worst-case scenarios.

[48:53] Finding the Right Partners in Real Estate

Steve emphasizes how having the right partners allows for complementary skills and knowledge, especially when dealing with the many moving parts of commercial real estate. He describes how he found his current partners through networking and building relationships over time. Going through challenges together reveals each partner's character and ability to handle crises.

Which approach reigns supreme when it comes to helping entrepreneurs generate leads and grow their businesses? 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:32 - Adam and Ryan’s backgrounds

05:49 - Round 1: cost structures and pricing models

15:36 - Round 2: flexibility and customization options 

22:07 - Round three: customized client journeys: ensuring service flexibility

35:50  - Coaching success is measured by more than just revenue

46:45 - Their ideal clients

Episode Highlights:

[05:49] Round 1: Cost Structures and Pricing Models

Ryan's coaching program provides an end-to-end service that aims to deeply develop clients through personalized guidance and workshops over several weeks. This done-with-you approach transforms entrepreneurs by helping them clarify their offers, craft effective content, establish lead flow events, and learn to convert leads into sustainable coaching businesses.

Adam's ghostwriting service offers a passive, done-for-you model where specialized writers generate customized content for commercial real estate clients based on intake calls to understand their goals, stories and key performance metrics. Packages can be tailored over durations of 60 days to a year to focus on the unique metrics most important to each client.

[15:36] Round 2: Flexibility and Customization Options 

Adam discusses how his ghostwriting could adjust content frequency and duration packages based on a client's goals. Ryan details his multi-week onboarding process covering offer clarity, content creation, lead flow planning and more. This highlights differences in their approaches, with Adam providing an outsourced content solution and Ryan offering an in-depth coaching program. However, both emphasize flexibility to meet clients where they are. Ryan structures his program systematically while Adam aims for a light-lift intake process. 

[22:07] Round Three: Customized Client Journeys: Ensuring Service Flexibility

Adam discusses how clients receive weekly analytics and have consistent access to provide feedback to iteratively improve results. Ryan emphasizes developing clients through a rigorous yet supportive onboarding process tailored to their unique starting point and goals. Both prioritize ongoing communication and customization to clients. Adam aims to lift the burden of flexibility from clients onto his agency as the service provider. On the other hand, Ryan acknowledges that clients progress at different paces depending on their situation and commitment level. 

[35:50] Going Beyond Initial Client Expectations

Adam notes that client success often involves unexpected revenue streams beyond their initial goals. Through the personalized guidance provided, clients end up launching additional monetization avenues like paid Substack newsletters or coaching programs that further boost their businesses. This highlights how the services can evolve client relationships in unforeseen, value-adding ways.

He believes facing inner darkness and increasing self-awareness are keys to transformation. Tune in to hear all about Dakota's path to renewable energy entrepreneurship and view the world through a more interconnected lens. 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

42:14 - Solar leasing opportunities for land investors

Episode Highlights:

[14:55] Finding Empowerment Through Your Narrative

Dakota believes that the way we shape the meaning of our lives and talk about our stories greatly impacts the outcomes we experience. For him, it really doesn't matter what your story is – it's what it means to you and the way that you talk about it. By framing our experiences in an empowering light and using language that uplifts ourselves, we can take control of our narratives and work towards the realities we desire.

[16:49] The Interconnection Between Internal and External Sustainability

When considering sustainability, Dakota notes that most people only think of environmental factors. However, he believes true sustainability starts from within. We're not going to solve any of these problems in our external reality, until we start to go inside and work on our own personal stuff. Sustainability is interconnected with personal growth, mindset and introspection.

[17:36] The Keys to True Transformation

Dakota believes facing inner darkness and gaining self-awareness are keys to transformation. Confronting our shadows seems terrifying yet our darkest places hold the greatest value. True change begins with introspection to understand ourselves. Through introspection and awareness of strengths and weaknesses, we can expand our perspective with new ideas, energy, and movement. 

[28:08] Dakota’s Four Pillars of Sustainability

1. Human - Focuses on personal empowerment, mindset, and how we operate in the world.
2. Social - Taking care of vulnerable communities and promoting equity.
3. Economic/Business - Building sustainable business models and practices like lean principles.
4. Environmental - Working towards environmental goals like reducing emissions through commercial solar solutions.

Parker outlines how eQRP provides educational resources, networking opportunities, and a marketplace where investors can discover new investment deals. He emphasizes the importance of exposing investors to different options so they can make confident financial decisions. 

Tune in to learn more about eQRP's mission to break financial barriers and how their community is empowering investors. 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:35 - Parker’s background

14:14 - The genesis of eQRP

18:20 - Eligibility for an eQRP 401k plan

20:00 - Empowering self-directed investors through control and action 

22:49 - The financial impact of choosing the right retirement vehicle

26:20 - Building an altruistic environment for investors and syndicators

28:31 - The educational component of eQRP

34:50 - Plugging syndicators into the eQRP investor community

Episode Highlights:

[14:14] The Genesis of eQRP

Parker discusses the Genesis story of eQRP, founded by Damion Lupo after his father's retirement promises fell through. Parker emphasizes eQRP was created to address issues like lack of control and opportunities in traditional retirement systems. Parker emphasizes that eQRP was founded to give people more control over their money and break the "financial shackles" of being promised one thing but experiencing another in retirement. 

[20:00] Empowering Self-Directed Investors Through Control and Action

Parker discusses how eQRP is designed for self-directed, self-responsible investors looking to move quickly with minimal friction. He notes eQRP is typically for those wanting control over their investments rather than a "do it for you" financial advisor service. Parker explains eQRP takes more of a "do it with you" approach through empowering people to take action and control of their finances, rather than having decisions made for them. This highlights how eQRP's structure is tailored for active investors focused on controlling their own path.

[22:49] The Financial Impact of Choosing the Right Retirement Vehicle

Parker discusses how the specific retirement vehicle used can significantly impact both the user experience and financial outcomes. He notes the 401k vehicle involves much less "friction" or barriers. Additionally, Parker points out traditional IRAs fail to fully disclose the tax implications of investing in deals with debt, which can minimize profits. Whereas the 401k allows investors to recoup profits that would otherwise be lost to taxes if using an IRA for deals involving debt, giving more "firepower" to compound returns over time.

Brent shares his proven strategies for finding discounted land deals, implementing creative financing, minimizing taxes, and scaling a profitable enterprise while maintaining a work-life balance. He also discusses how he now coaches others to achieve similar success through land.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00 - Introduction

02:07 - Land investing and replacing military income

06:20 - Making his shift from house flipping to land investing

11:23 - Implementing tax-savvy strategies

14:57 - Revenue in the first position

17:23 - The power of seller financing

20:54 - The snowball effect in land investing

25:36 - Leveraging land notes for active income and passive investment

34:29 - Due diligence mistakes and legal issues

42:16 - Success factors in real estate investing

Episode Highlights:

[11:23] Implementing Tax-Savvy Strategies

Brent faced a large tax bill that showed the need to diversify profits. He now uses land sale earnings to purchase industrial buildings eligible for cost segregation and additional depreciation. This minimizes taxes by offsetting ordinary income from land with write-offs from other real estate. His strategy demonstrates how analyzing tax benefits like depreciation can reduce liability for real estate investors.

[17:23] The Power of Seller Financing

Brent expresses his enthusiasm for seller financing real estate deals, providing an example where he and a partner purchased a parcel of land, then sold it while financing the majority of the sale price for the buyer over several years. Brent sees seller financing as an amazing opportunity that provides ongoing income and calls it one of the best strategies in real estate investing.

[20:54] The Snowball Effect in Land Investing

Brent provides a colorful analogy to explain the snowball effect concept when starting a land investing business. He recalls helping his son build a snowman and how rolling the snowball made it bigger and bigger. This reminded him of how doing one small land deal that generates an extra $100 per month can lead to doing another that makes $200, and so on until you're earning thousands each month. His story helps illustrate how consistently taking action and letting profits compound can rapidly grow a land investing venture over time through the powerful snowball effect.

[34:26] A Painful Lesson in the Importance of Due Diligence

Brent emphasizes the critical importance of thorough due diligence when purchasing real estate, as he learned from an expensive mistake. He lost $115,000 on a recent land deal due to unexpected access issues that tanked the property's value. This experience reinforced how properly vetting every detail, such as ensuring legal ingress/egress, is essential to avoid potential pitfalls. His costly lesson shows other investors the significance of comprehensive due diligence to uncover and mitigate risks on any real estate transaction.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

01:24 - Introduction

12:30 - A commercial approach to podcasting

15:30 - Podcasting for lead generation and personal branding

38:00 - Differing views on attention spans and short form content

Episode Highlights:

[12:30] A Commercial Approach to Podcasting 

James' background in live events and television led him to found OneFinePlay, a podcast production company taking a polished, commercial approach. With over 15 years of experience staging large-scale productions, James emphasized the importance of audience growth metrics and high production value when clients come to him expecting tangible results. While open to experimenting with new formats, James revealed his average podcast costs between $3,000-$4,000 to produce, requiring a business model focused on profitability rather than passion projects. This commercial viability means implementing strategies to attract sponsors through growing, engaged audiences - a model necessitated by OneFinePlay's overheads and team of full-time creatives.

[15:30] Podcasting for Lead Generation and Personal Branding

While Ryan agrees audience growth is important, he argues the primary goal of business podcasts should be lead generation and personal branding. As the founder of Podcast Principles, he helps companies launch podcasts as a marketing expense rather than a business in itself. Ryan primarily focuses on LinkedIn and YouTube to attract potential clients.

The hosts debate attention spans in an age of short form content like TikTok. James is skeptical about the idea that attention spans are truly getting shorter, citing his ability to watch hours of TikTok videos in a sitting. Ryan partially agrees but also acknowledges the reality of micro content succeeding on platforms like LinkedIn, for better or worse.

[38:00] Differing Views on Attention Spans and Short Form Content

James and Ryan engage in a lively debate about the impact of platforms like TikTok on modern attention spans. While they disagree on whether attention spans have truly changed, both recognize the need to understand how different audiences are consuming media in a fragmented online world dominated by short videos and reels across social platforms.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Harry Nima Zegarra, as he shares his journey and provides practical tips for evaluating investment types, selecting reliable partners, and maintaining focus during market challenges. 

As an owner of 11 properties in Dallas and partner in over 1000 multifamily units, Harry has navigated it all - from long-term rentals to syndication deals. Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to diversify or simply interested in commercial real estate, this episode is a must-listen for actionable insights from an expert in the field.

37:27 - Tips for different real estate investment strategies

Episode Highlights:

[02:18] From Long-Term Rentals to Apartment Syndication

Harry discusses how he got his start in real estate investing with long-term single family rentals prior to the 2008 crash. As the market became more competitive, he explored commercial options like apartment syndication. He currently owns 11 properties in the Dallas area and has interests in over 1000 multifamily units. 

[20:40] Navigating Partnerships and Overcoming Challenges

Harry stresses the importance of building relationships over time before large deals. It's crucial to align with those sharing similar work ethics and values. Regular communication during both good and bad times is key, as is having complementary skill sets. Harry maintains a long-term mindset, understanding real estate inherently has ups and downs. 

[37:27] Tips for Different Real Estate Investment Strategies

When considering investment types, Harry emphasizes evaluating your goals, resources, and lifestyle. Active investments in single family rentals require more hands-on work managing properties, while syndications offer a more passive approach but come with liquidity constraints as investments are locked in for 5-7 years. Harry emphasizes considering factors like how much time an investor has available, their preferred level of involvement, and understanding the differences between active and passive investments.

When they started with real estate investing, Crystal and Rick started with fix and flips and wholesaling, taking an open-minded approach to allow each deal to guide their strategy of acquire and exit. By allowing each transaction to dictate the strategy, it helped spark their creativity and provided valuable lessons that optimized their process over time. 

[20:09] What is a Real Estate Note? 

A real estate note refers to the documentation involved in a property transaction that includes a promissory note, deed, and deed of trust. The promissory note outlines the terms of the loan between the borrower and lender such as the loan amount, interest rate, repayment period, and payment schedule. The deed transfers ownership of the property to the buyer. And the deed of trust provides collateral for the loan by placing a lien on the property which allows the lender to foreclose on the property if payments are missed, protecting their investment.

[23:20] The Benefits of Notes

Real estate notes provide benefits to both borrowers and investors. For borrowers, notes allow them to purchase property through owner financing without requiring strong credit or a large down payment. Investors are able to earn a fixed rate of return through monthly interest payments as outlined in the promissory note. Notes also offer limited downside risk for investors, as the property acts as collateral in case of default.

In this episode, Mike and Ligia share their story of transitioning from corporate jobs to becoming full-time real estate investors and coaches. After facing unexpected layoffs, they took the opportunity to reevaluate their lives and pursue their dream of financial independence through land flipping. 

They discuss the mindset shifts, strategies, and lessons learned along their entrepreneurial journey.

Whether you start a side hustle or go all-in, we'll give you the mindset shifts and strategies you need to break free from the 9-5 trap and live life on your terms.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:43 - Traumatic job loss sparks career change 

03:18 - Rethinking traditional retirement

04:23 - Research leads to discovering land investing

09:07 - Overcoming self-doubt and limiting beliefs

12:55-  Importance of coaching and taking consistent action

16:18 - The formula for change and success

19:14 - Choosing between side hustle and full commitment 

23:37 - A coaching program for land investing

Episode Highlights:

[04:23] Discovering Land Investing

Mike details how he first discovered land investing through podcast research years prior. When he and Ligia unexpectedly lost their jobs, it gave them the flexibility to fully commit to their new venture. They decided to try land investing for 12 months, treating it as a full-time job. With help from a coaching program, they were able to achieve early success through dedicated action-taking.

[09:07] Pushing Through Mental Struggles 

Ligia shares the mental struggles of transitioning from a steady paycheck to being fully self-employed. Criticism from friends and family added to the self-doubt. She learned to push through fears of failure by focusing on small wins and drawing encouragement from their like-minded community.  

[12:55] Coaching as an Investment, Not Expense 

Coaching should be viewed as an investment rather than an expense. While coaching programs may have an upfront cost, the return on investment can be significant. By investing in a coaching program early on, Mike and Ligia were able to avoid costly mistakes and the success they achieved outweighed the initial coaching costs.

[13:50] The Importance of Taking Action

Mike and Ligia emphasize that taking consistent action is key to any entrepreneurial endeavor. While research and planning have value, ultimately progress happens through real-world testing and iteration. They advise starting a side business first when possible but also not being afraid to fully commit, as they did, when the timing feels right.

09:43 - Finding harmony through purpose

15:52 - A look into their business process flow

18:15 - The value of dual perspectives in coaching

24:40 - The reality of uneven contribution in partnerships

45:26 - Embracing the reality of failure for success

48:15 - Embracing the reality that entrepreneurship is hard work 

Episode Highlights:

[12:16] Finding Harmony Through Purpose

Tom and Adam don't believe in the concept of work/-life balance, as it sets an unrealistic standard of perfectionism. They aim to help people experience harmony by aligning their actions with their deepest motivations.

[13:41] Stepping Into Discomfort to Achieve Growth

Tom and Adam help clients expand beyond limitations by thoughtfully challenging comfort zones. They explain how their coaching brings people outside safe routines. But they don't leave clients to face new fears alone. They walk alongside, guiding clients through uncertainty. This supportive process builds momentum so businesses and lives can progress powerfully.

[15:52] Iterative Process Design for Optimal Client Outcomes

Tom and Adam have carefully designed their coaching process through iterative testing and refinement. They ensure systems can be understood by all skill levels, even children. Their 90-day trials and regular evaluations have optimized a distinct yet complementary workflow - Adam focuses on strategy while Tom addresses mindsets. This delivers value to clients.

[19:10] Gaining Clarity Through the "Believe-Behave-Become" Methodology

Tom and Adam utilize a methodology called "Believe-Behave-Become" with their clients. First, they work to help clients gain a true belief that they can accomplish their goals. Once that belief is established, they assist with behaving following this newfound confidence. If clients believe and behave a certain way, they will then become who they envision. This staged approach aims to bring clarity around priorities and actions needed to achieve business and personal success.

[24:40] The Reality of Uneven Contribution in Partnerships

Tom explains that no relationship, including business partnerships, can truly be 50/50 split. People give differently depending on their capabilities. Some days one partner may only have 20% to contribute while the other covers 80%. The key is flexibility to go back and forth in levels of participation. This understanding is important for partnerships to function effectively over time, as circumstances change for each individual.

[45:26] Embracing the Reality of Failure for Success

Adam notes that even the most accomplished entrepreneurs fail 70% of the time. Being willing to take more risks and fail more than competitors separates the highly successful. This mindset is key for entrepreneurs, as experimenting, learning from mistakes, and continually trying new approaches lead to long-term growth.

Episode Highlights:

[04:54] An Unexpected Career Pivot and Path to Real Estate

Brandon began his career in medical device sales, enjoying his work in sports medicine. However, he was unexpectedly fired from his job one sunny Friday afternoon. Shocked and confused, Brandon decided to pursue entrepreneurship. He started a life coaching business and met his now business partner at a real estate meetup. Together, they invested in real estate deals in Colorado Springs.

[20:10] Addressing the Supply Imbalance for First-Time Homebuyers

Brandon discusses the growing opportunity in affordable housing development to address the supply imbalance for first-time homebuyers. He notes that 33% of home buyers are millennials seeking their first home, yet less than 10% of homes built cater to their price point. This creates a major supply and demand issue. Brandon also touches on how this presents opportunities for build-to-rent strategies due to the affordability of housing needed by this growing demographic.

[27:03] Leveraging Technology and Relationships to Find Development Sites

Brandon discusses his strategies for identifying land parcels for development. This includes using tools like LandGlide to map suitable properties and building relationships with local brokers and municipalities. He explains how to present initial concept plans to get verbal approvals before engaging engineers. 

[33:45] Syndicating Land Deals with Investors to Fund Development Projects

Brandon syndicates land development deals with investors to fund projects. He raises capital from private investors and structures deals to purchase land through syndications. This allows Brandon to acquire land upfront while mitigating risk through equity funding rather than taking on debt.

28:12 - Eyeing new opportunities based on strategy and the economy

36:57 - Setting return expectations 

43:08 - How Jay controls the terms for private lenders

Episode Highlights:

[01:14] Two Great Models to Build Your Real Estate Empire

1. Using passive investors' capital - Investors' money can be pooled together via a syndication to make down payments on assets by taking a limited partnership stake. The remainder comes from bank loans. This model leverages the power of syndication to purchase and operate assets like apartment buildings and mobile home parks.
2. 100% funding using private money - One or a few individuals provide the full capital to purchase assets outright, requiring no bank or financing. This direct private funding model is often used for house flipping, where a property is purchased, renovated, and quickly resold for profit.

[14:49] How Jay Raised $2.15 Million in Private Money by Teaching Investors

After losing bank financing in 2009, Jay Connor knew he needed to change his funding strategy. Rather than desperately pitching deals to investors, he chose to educate his network on private lending. This approach allowed investors to understand the opportunity and proactively commit funds. Within 90 days, Jay’s new "teacher hat" mindset successfully attracted $2.15 million from individuals simply by leading with knowledge, not salesmanship.

[20:12] A Mindset Shift in Raising Capital

Jen and Stacy discussed their evolution in raising capital over the years. Starting from her initial struggles securing funds for small deals, Stacy shared how her mindset shifted from feeling like she was asking for money to recognizing many people have capital sitting idle and desire real estate exposure. This helped Stacy view capital raising as providing an opportunity for passive investors rather than needing funds herself. The pair has since helped many new investors overcome similar hurdles by reframing the ask as giving others a chance to put their money to work.

[36:57] Setting Return Expectations

Jen discussed the typical returns investors can expect when investing in deals with her and Stacy. While stabilized assets alone offer lower cash-on-cash returns around 5-8%, they target properties that also have value-add potential to increase cash flow and property value. This allows them to provide average annual returns on investment of 11.5-13.5% including eventual sale proceeds.

Danny finds most clients through organic LinkedIn engagement, while Chay leverages the platform plus word-of-mouth and location-based Instagram hashtags.

[25:23] Round 3: Startup Cost, Challenges, Risks, and Returns

Danny and Chay both note client budget constraints and finding competent freelance help as the major challenges they face in running their video companies.  Danny shares that clients often see video as a luxury rather than a necessity. Chay has invested more heavily in equipment due to physical production needs. While each has considered hiring employees, risks remain. They've relied on social media and referrals to build contractor networks.

In this episode of In the Champion’s Corner, commercial real estate and insurance expert Jeremy Goodrich discusses the ins and outs of CRE investing. Jeremy shares his unique journey from elementary school teacher to insurance advisor for large CRE portfolios. He offers invaluable insights into risk management strategies, agency compliance, and navigating the changing insurance landscape. 

Learn how to properly assess insurance needs for deals, avoid costly surprises at closing, and maximize returns over the long run. Tune in to hear Jeremy's advice on partnering with the right insurance professional, setting clear standards, and achieving financial freedom through entrepreneurship. 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:39 - Jeremey’s career background

03:45 - The value of prioritizing risk management

06:57 - Understanding agency compliance requirements

09:57 - Finding the right insurance agent

29:21 - How local factors impact underwriting deals

35:13 - A mindset shift towards financial freedom

43:12 - The keys to running a business successfully with your spouse

Episode Highlights:

[03:45] Prioritizing Risk Management and Tenant Safety for Optimal Returns

Jeremy emphasizes the importance of leading a discussion around risk management when engaging investors as an insurance advisor. He wants to ensure the safety of tenants, properties, and the investor's finances. By taking a proactive approach to risk management, an investor can achieve a better return on their sleep by knowing their assets are protected, as well as a better overall ROI. 

[06:57] Understanding Agency Compliance Requirements

Jeremy discusses agency compliance for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loans. Inexperienced agents sometimes provide cheap estimates without understanding guidelines. This often causes problems at closing. Jeremy ensures compliance upfront to avoid any insurance issues delaying the closing process, emphasizing that agents need experience with agency debt to submit compliant policies for a seamless closing.

[09:57] Finding the Right Insurance Agent for Your CRE Needs

When assessing which insurance agent is right, Jeremy recommends they be a specialist in commercial real estate who understands the industry from both an investing and advisory perspective. It's important they can explain complex insurance concepts simply and have relationships with multiple carriers so they can access the best options for clients rather than being limited to one company. Trust also plays a key role, as investors need to feel confident relying on an agent's expertise and recommendations.

[12:07] The Cost of Cheap Insurance

Jeremy shares a story of a client who chose a cheaper insurance policy over his own more expensive quote, saving $15,000 annually but having major coverage gaps. The property suffered a $500,000 loss from a fire six months later, and the client only received a $150,000 payout versus the near $500,000 they would have gotten with Jeremy's policy due to its more robust coverage. This illustrates how opting for a low price can end up costing significantly more in the long run if a claim occurs.

[29:21] How Local Factors Impact Underwriting Deals

When underwriting deals, it's important to understand how local insurance market dynamics in a specific area may impact costs. Jeremy notes factors like weather events, replacement costs, and litigation environment can vary significantly between regions. Properly assessing these local considerations is crucial for accurately gauging insurance expenses when underwriting a property in a given market.

25:30 - Benefits: Land investing vs. multifamily investing

39:00 - The importance of investor experience

41:37 - Multifamily and development operations and investor communications

Episode Highlights:

[10:16] How Apartment Syndication Works

Alec explains how High Country Capital Partners does apartment syndication: they bring their own capital plus investor funds to purchase large apartment complexes. This allows individual investors to own real estate without hassles. They focus on "light value add" deals from 50-480 units, typically from 1980-2010. Investors receive 7-10% annual cash flow plus an equity payout when the property is later sold/refinanced.

[14:29] Four Strategies for Forcing Land Value Growth

Brandon outlines four ways to force appreciation in vacant land and extract value:

1. Force-depreciate the value of the land through entitlements like rezoning, then sell it to another developer for a profit.
2. Get the land entitled with utilities/infrastructure in place, then contract and pre-sell it to an end buyer who provides a down payment to fund development.
3. Develop the land yourself by building homes or commercial properties to sell.
4. Develop it and hold it as a build-to-rent community, using a multifamily-style business model to generate ongoing rental income.

[25:30] The Benefits of Land Investing

• Flexibility with multiple exit strategies like reselling to another developer or building and selling homes individually. This provides more options than renting out an apartment complex long-term. 
• Forced appreciation locks in land value upfront before purchasing. This protects investors from market forces that could impact a multifamily property, like rising interest rates.
• Investors can control 100% of the investment with no debt until development begins. This allows projects to be paused if needed rather than relying on bank financing.
• Land value is secured through entitlements and engineering work done ahead of time by the sponsor. This de-risks the investment compared to taking on a multifamily property requiring renovations.

[30:27] The Benefits of Multifamily Investing

Alec highlights two main benefits of investing in multifamily real estate:

Cashflow: Investors receive a passive, recurring return of 6-8% through quarterly distributions. This provides ongoing income without needing to actively manage the property.

Tax benefits: Large tax breaks are available through depreciation deductions and cost segregation studies. These can help offset other sources of income for investors. The government incentivizes multifamily investing through these tax advantages.

55:46 - The victor vs. victim mindset

Episode Highlights:

[07:06] The Value of Education: Avoiding Costly Lessons in Real Estate

Jay stresses the importance of education when getting started in real estate investing. Despite his background, Jay lacked training specific to real estate mechanics and funding strategies. This resulted in expensive mistakes early on that could have been avoided. Arming yourself with knowledge from experienced investors up front can help you sidestep costly lessons. Formalizing your education pays dividends and sets the stage for success in your real estate endeavors.

[16:15] Piquing Interest Without "Selling"

Jay shares an effective strategy for inviting people to private lending events. Rather than directly asking for money, he frames it as needing their help and support. This subtle difference activates people's desire to be helpful. Combined with buying lunch and portraying the opportunity as high returns for others, it piques interest without pressure. Jay also casts a wide net by inviting people even if they can't invest presently, allowing for future opportunities.

[18:30] Targeting the Right Audience for Your Private Lending Event

Jay recommends the following key target people to invite to a private lending event:

• Retired individuals: They likely have retirement funds seeking better returns than traditional volatile options.
• Centers of influence in the community: People like mayors, Rotary Club members, etc. who are well-connected.
• Entrepreneurs/business owners: They understand business concepts like this private lending program.

The goal is to generate a list of 40 people across these categories who may be open to learning about the opportunity, even if they can't invest immediately. Casting a wide net allows capturing future opportunities as people's situations change over time.

[28:33] Private Lending for Real Estate Deals: How It Works

The investor provides capital for the purchase and renovation. They receive a promissory note and recorded mortgage/deed of trust as collateral. The investor is also named as the mortgagee on insurance and title policies for added protection. When the property is sold, the investor gets their principal back plus any unpaid accrued interest, and the process repeats with new deals.

Experts Ben Nadelstein of Monetary Metals and Rey Trevino of Pecos Country Operating go head to head in this episode of Cash Flow Fight Club to discuss how both gold and oil can be used to generate life-changing wealth and passive income. Listen in for insights on unlocking the cash flow potential of hard assets through leasing and private placement deals.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:23 - About Ben and Rey

09:46 - Generating monthly returns from precious metals

11:48 - How gold and silver leasing works

17:43 - Why gold holds value

19:55 - Understanding gold bonds

20:44 - Storage fees for physical gold

23:43 - Investing in oil production capabilities over the long term

32:42 - Returns on precious metals vs. oil & gas

43:06 - Analyzing potential risks and benefits

1:02:12 - The future of oil and gas

1:07:33 - Who wins today’s matchup?

Episode Highlights:

[09:46] Generating Monthly Returns from Precious Metals

Ben explains how Monetary Metals is unlocking the cash flow potential of gold and silver through their unique leasing programs. Traditionally, precious metals are seen as static holdings. But through their innovative model, clients are able to rent out their gold and silver inventories to businesses. They’re able to generate monthly returns without having to worry about price fluctuations. By eliminating the risks and costs normally associated with ownership, Monetary Metals has found a way for even small investors to earn interest on their holdings paid back in physical ounces of gold and silver itself.

[23:43] Investing in Oil Production Capabilities Over the Long Term

Rey explains that a typical producing well is capable of generating oil for 30 years. This underscores how those who invest in Pecos Country Operating through its private placement deals have the potential to see investment returns not just over the short or medium term, but for decades into the future. By tapping into multi-decade production from successfully drilled wells, investors are able to benefit from a wealth-generating asset that continues paying them month after month for generations.

[32:42] Returns on Precious Metals vs. Oil & Gas

While both precious metals and oil & gas investments have the potential to generate strong returns, there are some key differences in the return profiles:

Precious metals leasing through Monetary Metals aims to provide a more consistent, lower-risk return in the 2-5% range annually through interest paid in physical gold/silver.

Oil & gas private placements with Pecos Country Operating take on more project-based risk but also offer potentially higher returns, with Ray citing examples of 40-100% returns in the first year and a goal of recouping investments within 12 months.

[1:07:33] Why Oil & Gas Took Home the Gold

Black gold was named the champion for this matchup based on its potential for higher overall returns within shorter timeframes, backed by valuable tax benefits that can further boost after-tax gains. While both investments have merit, oil & gas private placements offered by Pecos Country Operating edged out precious metals leasing due to cited examples of 40-100% first-year returns and the longevity of income over 30+ years from individual productive wells, mitigating risk through their focus on established, revenue-generating assets.

This week, we've got a heavyweight bout you won't want to miss as we enter the arena to go toe-to-toe with an ideological firsthand account of what life is like under dictatorial communism versus that of capitalism. Leading us through the rounds will be none other than our champions Mike and Ligia Deaton. Growing up during a time of communism and authoritarian rule in Romania, Ligia knows its power all too well. But after facing the revolution and immigrating to the US, she's also experienced capitalism's impact. 

Get ready for an epic clash of economic systems as Mike and Ligia share lessons from both sides to help you overcome any mindsets holding you back from financial freedom!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

03:21 - Growing up in Romania and what scarcity looked like

13:00 - Mike’s childhood in the U.S.

15:46 - The dangers of private property in communist Romania

20:56 - How their money stories shaped their mindsets

24:33 - Ligia’s transition out of poverty after the revolution

33:53 - How scarcity hinders creativity

38:02 - Breaking free from limiting beliefs

49:08 - Lifestyle differences in Romania vs. the US

54:53 - Exploring business and investment opportunities

Episode Highlights:

[03:23] Growing up in Scarcity Ligia takes us back to her childhood in communist Romania. She recalls living in a society tainted with  fear and scarcity, with rationed food and utilities. Electricity and water were systematically cut off for undetermined periods. Through it all, her mother's resourcefulness helped the family survive.

[20:56] How Their Money Stories Shaped Their Personality and Mentality 

Although Mike came from a background of entrepreneurship through his father, he was more influenced by his frugal, savings-focused mother in his youth, instilling a security mentality. Whereas Ligia grew up facing constant scarcity in communist Romania that ingrained a deep poverty mindset, believing wealth was unattainable as she focused solely on needs. 

Ligia struggled more with residual scarcity thinking until actively breaking free through entrepreneurship. Their differing backgrounds demonstrated how formative early life can be on our money stories if left unaddressed, and it takes conscious reflection to transform our perspectives.

[33:53]  How Scarcity Inhibits Creativity

Living in constant survival mode profoundly impacted Ligia's creativity and ability to dream. With her focus solely on meeting basic needs from day to day, she did not have the mental space or energy to contemplate bigger goals and ambitions. The survival mentality left her feeling paralyzed and unable to envision a future beyond simply working to sustain herself. 

Scarcity can inhibit human potential by training the mind only on the immediate present rather than possibilities. In Ligia’s case, she had to break free of such a limited survival mindset for her to develop creative capacities and pursue prosperity.

26:38 - The challenges of property management

29:45 - Bobby’s real estate outlook

33:11 - Multifamily's long-term appreciation potential

Episode Highlights:

[12:05] Bobby’s Investment Philosophy

Bobby cites Warren Buffett's two famous rules of investing that have strongly influenced his approach:

1. Don't lose money. This rule shapes Bobby's focus on capital protection over maximizing returns, taking a conservative approach to underwriting deals in order to withstand downturns without losing investor capital.
2. Don't forget rule number one. This reinforces the importance of avoiding losses at all costs. Bobby applies meticulous risk analysis and debt management strategies to his properties to ensure they can weather disruptions like recessions.

[13:00] The Tortoise Approach: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Bobby takes what he calls the "tortoise approach" to maximizing returns - going at a steady, conservative pace focused on long-term stability over quick gains. He underwrites deals to withstand potential downturns through a 7-10 year hold period. While others chase higher returns through riskier strategies, Bobby believes his measured tactics will generate strong, reliable performance over an entire real estate cycle. Just as the tortoise eventually surpasses the hare, Bobby is content to achieve steady growth in his portfolio without jeopardizing capital. 

[24:15] The Power of Adaptability

There are many facets involved in running a business from an operational perspective like administration, asset management, and more. Bobby emphasizes the need for an adaptable mindset as an entrepreneur - being willing to take on different roles and responsibilities quickly as needs change. He stresses the importance of flexibility to transition between functions smoothly. This trait is especially crucial in the early days of a startup when learning on the job.

[29:45] Where the Real Estate Cycle is Headed

Bobby shares his outlook that the market is closer to bottoming out than peaking after recent disruption from rate hikes. With construction slowing from inflation and cap rates improving, he feels positioning is strong for a new upcycle over the next 7-10 years. However, Bobby retains a long-term view, aiming to navigate short-term fluctuations and optimize returns through the full real estate cycle.

Strap in for an adventure as we go behind-the-scenes of Patrick's engineering days, real estate ups and downs, and his ultimate reinvention through education, travel, and strategic partnerships. 

You won't want to miss this inspiring comeback story!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

01:38 - His career background 

04:05 - Getting back up after losing everything during the real estate crash

07:51 - Patrick’s outdoor adventures

16:14 - Travel & entrepreneurship

20:38 - Real estate investing and risks

23:34 - Why tap into recession-proof markets

28:36 - A look into debt funds

31:07 - Finding complementary partners

37:16 - Giving back with passive investing strategies

41:30 - Tips for partnership success

Episode Highlights:

[16:14] The Benefits of Travel in Entrepreneurship

Broad perspective: Travel allows entrepreneurs to gain a broader perspective by experiencing new places and cultures outside their normal bubble. This helps open their mindset to different ways of doing things that can be applied back to their business. 

Personal growth: Travel also aids in personal growth and realizing what's truly important beyond just profits. Facing the world independently through travel builds confidence, an important skill for those venturing out on their own as entrepreneurs. 

[24:09] Targeting “Hard to Move” Industries

Patrick looks for areas with diversified employment across industries that are less vulnerable to sudden downturns, such as healthcare, finance and logistics. These "hard to move" sectors are more stable than those dependent on high tech, tourism or manufacturing. By not relying heavily on just one or two boom-based industries like hospitality, properties in these balanced markets hold their value better even when the broader economy contracts. This is because jobs, populations and demand remain more consistent.

[29:55] A Look into Debt Funds

Rather than focusing on risky construction or flip loans, his real estate asset-backed debt fund targets performing assets with conservative loan-to-value ratios around 50-65% of current property value. This approach aims to capitalize on banks pulling back from lending while minimizing risk. The properties are already cash flowing and any downturn would have to drop values significantly below current levels to threaten losing money. It generates steady income through short to medium term loans on low-risk performing assets in recession-resilient markets.

[31:07] Finding Complementary Partners

Finding the right complementary partners can dramatically accelerate any business venture. By leveraging different strengths and expertise, partnerships allow companies to scale more quickly and take advantage of new opportunities. The key is identifying partners who share the same vision and values to ensure long-term strategic alignment.

Benjamin dove deep into educational content and, encouraged by his mother, found a career with Monetary Metals, a company pioneering methods to create cash flow from gold and silver.

While this conversation discusses the various ways Benjamin and Monetary Metals are creatively restructuring the gold and silver supply chain as well as how investors interact with it; it’s also a story about finding and following passions, reinventing ourselves, and finding purpose by saying yes to our intuition. 

Also in this episode, Ben Nadelstein explains how Monetary Metals is modifying the traditional metals industry model through innovative products like gold leases and bonds. 

As things are looking uncertain in the economic world lately with inflation skyrocketing and markets on a wild ride, more and more investors are looking for safer places to stash their cash. Tune in to discover how their platform is disrupting traditional banking and allowing investors to take control of their wealth in the safest way possible: through the ages-old stability of gold and silver.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

00:00

02:57 - Ben’s personal and career background

12:00 - The power of a strong support network

28:26 - How he got working at Monetary Metals

34:50 - Understanding monetary metals

36:08 - The superiority of gold and silver

40:00 - Divorce of currency from commodity

47:09 - Gold and silver supply chain management

55:08 - Gold leases and bonds with Monetary Metals

Episode Highlights:

[40:00] Currency vs. Commodity

In 1971, the relationship between the U.S. dollar and gold underwent a significant change. Previously, American paper currency had been backed by and redeemable for physical gold reserves held by the Treasury. However, President Nixon made the consequential decision to end this convertibility, severing the final ties between the dollar and gold. This marked the emergence of modern fiat currency, where governments could increase the money supply without constraint from limited gold reserves. This pivotal moment fully divorced legal tender from the commodity backing it previously provided, establishing the fiat monetary system that defines currencies today.

[40:51] Reviving the Gold Standard

Monetary Metals aims to restart the cycle of earning returns through gold that existed under previous gold standards. While fiat currencies like dollars and yen are used globally in trade and finance, this activity does not extend to gold itself. By providing leasing and bonding products, Monetary Metals brings gold back into the realm of generating income, fulfilling its historic function as more than just a static asset. In this way, they seek to revive gold's role as a medium earning interest and powering economic exchange once removed from currencies no longer tied to precious metals.

[55:08] Gold Leases and Bonds with Monetary Metals

Monetary Metals offers gold leases and gold bonds to provide investors opportunities to generate returns from their precious metals holdings. Gold leases have a one year duration with interest rates from 2-5% paid in additional physical gold or silver. Gold bonds can have variable terms and pay higher rates from 5-19%, but require the initial metals to be sold for dollars. Both products allow gold and silver owners to earn income from their assets outside of traditional currency-based markets through Monetary Metals' platform which matches them with mining companies, jewelers and other businesses in need of non-fiat financing.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

03:09 - Seth’s real estate investing journey

10:19 - Finding success through real estate investing

16:04 - The hunter vs. farmer mindset in real estate investing

18:58 - Adapting to market changes in the real estate world

39:24 - What drew him to the blogging business model

42:31 - The challenges of choosing markets for land flipping deals

45:34 - Personal development and finding fulfillment

53:04 - The power of saying yes to things

Episode Highlights:

[16:04] Mindsets for Real Estate Success: The Hunter vs. the Farmer

Hunters get a thrill from chasing down deals and finding new opportunities, but tend to get bored with slow, steady growth. Farmers are more comfortable with incremental gains over long periods of time and prioritize predictability and security. Both mindsets can lead to prosperity, depending on one's temperament and goals. Seth considers himself more of a farmer mindset as he enjoys laying solid groundwork and letting deals grow and unfold over time. This approach fits better with his personality and risk tolerance compared to the ups and downs of chasing deals. 

[25:38] The Power of Delegating Tasks

While he recognizes the importance of building systems and teams to scale, Seth admits he struggles with giving up control over certain aspects of his work. Seth acknowledges delegation as a weakness of his, and something he aims to improve. Refusing to hand over responsibilities can ultimately limit growth. By keeping everything in-house, it's difficult to take his land deals or content creation to the next level. When you learn to practice delegation, you’re able to free up space and take your enterprise to new heights through increased efficiency and bandwidth.

[42:31] The Challenges of Choosing Markets for Land Flipping Deals

While many offer guidelines like focusing on growing areas near cities, Seth notes that there is no foolproof method. Every approach has flaws and limitations when it comes to predicting future performance. Rather than obsess over metrics and data, Seth's experience has shown that the best way to learn is by taking action. Even educated guesses won't prepare you for all scenarios - you only truly start to understand a market once deals begin coming back. As Seth points out, you learn 100 times more from the process of trying different areas than any amount of pre-deal analysis.

25:08 - Applying NLP and mindset coaching to real estate investing

31:32 - Their multifamily investing training

34:21 - Common traits of rockstar coaches

41:51 - From community building to building the academy

Episode Highlights:

[11:51] How to Balance Personal and Professional Life as a Couple

Balancing personal and professional life as an entrepreneurial couple takes communication, flexibility, and making time for what's most important - your relationship. Jen and Stacy have found success by understanding each other's strengths, not taking disagreements personally, and prioritizing fun together even amidst a busy work life. Balancing demands comes down to openly discussing needs, showing grace for differences, and finding moments to simply enjoy your partner's company each day.

Delegation played a key role in Jen and Stacy's ability to balance their personal and professional lives as entrepreneurial partners. By bringing on additional team members like their COO Casey, they could delegate administrative tasks and scale their businesses while creating more time for strategic initiatives. This allowed them to maintain balance while continuously innovating and growing their impact as a couple.

[25:08] Applying NLP and Mindset Coaching to Real Estate Investing

Jen has a background in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and became a certified NLP Master Practitioner. She discovered the power of mindset coaching after her son was diagnosed with ADHD, wanting to better understand how to influence behaviors.

Jen realized all the benefits NLP and mindset training could provide for real estate investing. Not only could it help with influencing others like buyers and sellers, but addressing one's own limiting beliefs is critical to success. This led Jen to incorporate mindset coaching into the Remote Multifamily Investing Academy. She teaches courses to help students overcome mental blocks, stay motivated, and achieve their investing goals through small shifts in perspective. Applying NLP has been transformative for both Jen and Stacy's business and helped countless others overcome obstacles through powerful mindset work.

[41:51] From Facebook Community to Remote Multifamily Investing Academy

Jen discusses how their Facebook community grew organically as they provided value to others interested in multifamily investing. This community became the foundation for their full-fledged Remote Multifamily Investing Academy. They realized there were many cool people in their initial mastermind group, and thought about how they could find more like-minded individuals. This led them to transform it into a more structured academy model where they could enroll students and provide a comprehensive training program to help more people achieve success in real estate investing.

Episode Highlights:

[07:51] Finding Your Place Through Service to Others

We all play a role in the broader system and community around us. We are interconnected with others, and our actions have impacts beyond just ourselves. Focusing outward on how we can contribute to and support our community is a meaningful way to approach life and business. While having big ambitions to change the world is admirable, true change begins on a much smaller scale - with personal growth and improvement. One must first work on bettering themselves before they can truly help others on a larger scale. In order to change the world, we must start by changing what's within our control - ourselves. Only by walking our talk and exemplifying the values we want to promote can we hope to inspire positive change in the world.

[19:46] The Power of Networking in Real Estate

Unlike some other industries, real estate is highly relational and depends a great deal on personal connections. The more people you meet through intentional networking, the more "doors" that open in terms of opportunities. Every new contact has the potential to introduce you to even more people, creating an exponential effect. Networking allows your sphere of influence to continually expand, exposing you to ever greater chances for new business partnerships, deals, resources and more. It underscores the value of prioritizing relationship-building in real estate through activities like industry events, referrals, social media and other avenues that facilitate meeting new people and strengthening your professional network.

[21:52] Leveraging LinkedIn for Networking and Branding Success

Yonah leveraged LinkedIn through intentional networking and content creation, transforming his career. Noticing others' engaging posts, he showcased his cost segregation expertise. Unlike social media, LinkedIn facilitated professional networking through value-driven interactions. This positioning led to podcast interviews, exponentially growing his profile. Weiss views LinkedIn as a constant networking opportunity, underscoring its power when actively engaging others professionally.

Paul has grown his part-time side hustle into a seven-figure consulting business focused on process efficiency. Daniel is a self-taught programmer who now helps businesses automate workflows. They share insights on growing businesses from freelancing to standardization.

08:48 - Daniel’s career background

17:30 - Daniel’s client onboarding process

43:23 - Finding opportunities for recurring revenue

50:05 - The power of doing business for yourself

52:12 - The downsides of their businesses

55:22 - Daniel and Paul’s top tips for efficiency and productivity

Episode Highlights:

[06:26) Paul’s Journey: Getting Started in Productivity Consulting

Paul shares how he got started in productivity consulting after helping his employer implement Asana. His side business grew through his YouTube videos until his consulting income replaced his full-time salary in 2016, allowing him to transition to consulting as a full-time role. His own employer serving as his first client,  helped him realize there was a business opportunity in productivity consulting.

[17:30] Daniel's Journey: His Client Onboarding Process 

Daniel also scopes projects by talking through a client's unique situation to understand pain points and offer potential solutions. He provides the example of a math tutor who struggled with scheduling and invoicing. Daniel automated this process using Calendly for booking and Zapier to create invoices in QuickBooks upon session completion. By discussing real examples, Daniel is able to help clients envision what is possible through his programming and automation skills. This speeds up the sales process and allows him to take on more clients.

[39:55] Leveraging Your Strengths for Long-Term Success

Both Paul and Daniel emphasize the importance of focusing on your strengths. Paul has reinvested profits from his business into Bitcoin as a long-term wealth building strategy that plays to his interests in research and passive income. On the other hand, Daniel enjoys the programming and customization work he does for clients, so he continues taking on these types of projects. While the work is time-intensive, it allows Daniel to use his programming skills that he has spent decades developing. Rather than growing his business in ways that pull him away from coding, Daniel finds recurring revenue streams like ongoing client support that don't require large teams.

Both entrepreneurs have found ways to pursue cashflow aligned with their natural talents and passions. This allows their businesses to thrive without burning out doing tasks they are less skilled in or engaged by. Focusing operations on strengths was an important lesson they shared from their experience scaling up.

21:59 - Real estate market trends and stability in the net lease space

28:31 - Tax benefits of ownership

31:46 - Risk factors to consider

35:17 - Net lease investing and property management

Options for syndication and passive income

Episode Highlights:

[07:23] What is Triple Net Leasing?

Dan explains how triple net leases can generate stable cash flow with minimal obligations for owners. Tenants are responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance, allowing landlords to collect rent with no expenses. He compares a sample net leased property like a Wendy's, bringing in $125k annually in rent, to a similar small multifamily. While the multifamily would have $65k in yearly expenses, the absolute triple net leased Wendy's would have zero expenses, making it highly passive for owners.

[10:28] How to Evaluate Net Lease Deals

When analyzing a potential net lease property, Dan looks closely at lease terms like guarantees, sales reporting, and replacement costs. He assigns a cap rate based on factors like credit, term, and rent levels to determine fair value. Key considerations include the size and financial strength of the tenant guarantor, sales performance at the location, and the ease of replacing rental income if the tenant leaves. With the right due diligence, investors can make well-informed purchase decisions on net leased assets.

[31:46] Risk Factors and Rewards

Bankruptcy is a risk factor for investors to consider, though it remains relatively rare for strong tenants. Dan cites recent examples like Rite Aid undergoing bankruptcy proceedings and Walgreens' credit downgrade. Deferred maintenance on properties can also impact value if unaddressed over time. However, Dan notes that net lease cap rates have proven stable even during difficult economic periods, making the asset class attractive from a risk-adjusted return standpoint. With the proper due diligence like periodic property inspections, owners can mitigate issues. Additionally, the long lease terms on quality properties provide stable cash flow for generations. For the right investors, net leasing offers both rewards and security through diligent ownership.

Episode Highlights:

[12:43] Chasing Time Freedom: The Power of Passive Investments and Autonomy

• • Ultimately, what we desire is the freedom of time. It's not about idling away or catching up on sleep, which might be appealing for a short while. Yet, the core objective is to have the liberty to make a difference in ways that matter to us. Having control over how your time is spent is truly empowering. Moreover, passive investments and consistent cash flow from investments, which don't require further effort, are also an excellent way to achieve this autonomy over time. It's indeed remarkable to have such financial independence.

• [14:38] Discovering Your Life's Purpose: A Guide to Self-Assessment and Reflection

• • Consider utilizing personality assessments such as StrengthsFinder to gain insight into your innate talents and passions. You might also want to try a "love it" test for a week to pinpoint the activities that truly invigorate you. By juxtaposing the outcomes of these evaluations with what the world necessitates, you could gain a clearer understanding of your purpose. Bear in mind that your calling may evolve over time. It often requires introspection, prayer, and continuous reassessment of your gifts and how you can utilize them to effectively serve others.

• [17:23] Identifying Your Skill Quadrants for Personal and Professional Growth

• There are four quadrants of skills to consider. The first quadrant is incompetence, which includes tasks you're not good at and should delegate to others. The second quadrant is competence, encompassing tasks you can do, but they might be a struggle for you. The third quadrant is excellence, where you have legendary skills, like in sales, as an example. The final quadrant is your unique ability. This is where your excellence meets never-ending learning, passion, and an energizing effect. It's a realm where you shine and only you can truly identify this unique ability. Focusing on this quadrant could lead to personal and professional growth.
• [24:19] The Power of Networking and Education in Achieving Success

If you're aiming to advance financially or in life, two main factors will guide your journey. The first is networking - the power of connecting with new people. The second is through education, continually expanding your knowledge base. In five years, who you become will be largely influenced by the books you've read and the people you've met. This points back to the importance of networking and education.

46:12 - What Strategic Coach does today

49:25 - Securing financial stability through cash value life insurance 

Episode Highlights:

[27:44] The Birth of Strategic Coach

After facing bankruptcy twice, Dan Sullivan was searching for a way to rebuild his business and make a sustainable income. He started taking friends and past clients through his innovative Strategy Circle thinking tool, charging for his time upfront. Meanwhile, Babs encouraged Dan to find others who could take work off his plate so he could focus fully on his unique ability of coaching and strategy development. They brought on an assistant who was better suited for sales. Around the same time, they received a large tax bill and realized they needed to grow the business quickly. Babs and Dan developed the idea for a group coaching program where Dan could work with multiple entrepreneurs at once. Their first workshop had six participants. This marked the beginning of Strategic Coach, which grew out of Dan's bankruptcy and their realization that a scaled group model would allow Dan to focus on his strengths and accelerate their revenue.

[46:12] Strategic Coach Today

Strategic Coach has grown tremendously in the decades since those early days. Babs shares that it is now a $40 million business with 17-18 coaches on staff in addition to Dan Sullivan. At the core of their model are quarterly multi-day workshops that entrepreneurs commit to for a three-year period. Within this structured program, participants gain new insights and understandings from Dan's unique thinking tools and processes each quarter. Their learnings compound over the three years as they incorporate new strategies and tools while being supported by their peer group. Babs notes many clients have now been with Strategic Coach for over 10 years, benefiting from this long-term coaching approach. The program has transformed thousands of entrepreneurs globally by providing the ongoing development, accountability and community needed to accelerate business growth over an extended period.

[49:25] Securing Financial Stability: The Power of Cash Value Life Insurance

Babs often quotes Keith Cunningham's advice to "keep your powder dry," and for a good reason. Babs has weathered numerous financial downturns, and the best defense against these unpredictable storms was investing in cash value life insurance. Using the insurance's cash value as collateral, Babs secured a line of credit with a bank. Despite the ups and downs of market rates, she enjoys a favorable rate, thanks to the prime minus something arrangement. This strategy has proven to be a lifesaver for Babs on three separate occasions. Growing up, Babs’ mother always warned, "Don't rely on banks for money as they only lend it when you don't need it." This wisdom has echoed throughout Babs' experiences, reinforcing the value of cash value life insurance.

Highlights:

[12:18] Becky's Journey from Stressful Job to Blogging Freedom

Becky goes into more detail on how she got started with her blog Mom Beach while working a stressful job in healthcare that wasn't providing paid maternity leave. She was feeling overworked and stressed, which motivated her to begin blogging as a side project. While it started as just a hobby with occasional posts, she got more serious about it after her son turned 3 years old and she had another difficult boss situation. That's when she began taking online courses to improve her blogging skills and saw her traffic slowly start to increase. Within a couple years, she had built her earnings up to $10,000 per month through affiliate marketing, ads, and the growing traffic to her site. This income allowed her to finally leave her full-time job and focus on Mom Beach as her primary business.

[25:06] Harry Leverages His Podcasting Skills into the Vertical Farming Industry

Harry initiated the Vertical Farming Podcast by capitalizing on his interest in the booming sector of indoor agriculture and his experience in interviewing and production. He interviewed industry leaders, gaining visibility and connections. Gradually, he grew it into Vertical Farming Media, offering services like events, job listings, and an industry directory. Partnerships enabled him to attend global conferences and expand his network, creating more opportunities for serving the vertical farming community.

[37:41] The Power of Delegation in Business Growth

Harry underlines the significance of delegating tasks as businesses expand. He recounts his early days of building his podcast network, where he juggled multiple roles from recording to marketing. However, with an increasing workload, he realized the need for delegation to make room for higher-level tasks. Both Harry and Becky emphasize their use of virtual assistant teams, often from the Philippines, for design, administrative work, and content production. This strategy lets them concentrate on revenue-generating activities while scaling operations. Their experiences demonstrate that avoiding burnout and propelling business growth hinge upon delegating non-essential tasks.

[49:40] The Power of Taking Action and Investing in Yourself 

Becky emphasizes the importance of just getting started rather than procrastinating. Harry echoes this sentiment of taking imperfect action daily to improve even just 1%. He also stresses the value of investing in yourself early through coaching or mentorship to accelerate your learning curve. For Harry, this was a key factor in his ability to pivot out of corporate marketing and build successful businesses through podcasting and other ventures. Ultimately, focusing on your unique strengths and interests is vital to finding long term success and fulfillment in entrepreneurship.

[49:31] Embracing Imperfection

Nicole talks about fully embracing living in her own "era" where she cares less about others' opinions and lives life on her own terms.

[11:47] Creating PrettyBoy Skincare

Ben and Kevin built PrettyBoy from an idea sparked by their own struggles with skin issues and an unmet need in the men's skincare market. They validated their concept through customer surveys to understand pain points and product preferences. Armed with this research, they worked with dermatologists and chemists to formulate a simple, high-quality product containing clinically-backed ingredients. To launch their brand, they focused on creating an experience that resonated with their target demographic through messaging, imagery and a focus on quality. Starting as an online-only business, PrettyBoy is now a growing enterprise disrupting the men's grooming industry through authenticity and effective products.

[16:37] The Power of Experts

Ben and Kevin emphasized the importance of leveraging experts throughout their journey of building PrettyBoy Skincare. With a clear vision but limited technical knowledge, they were able to fill critical gaps by working with dermatologists, chemists and manufacturers who helped turn their concept into a reality. By providing directives based on customer research and prioritizing clinical efficacy, Ben and Kevin allowed experts to help implement their vision. This approach demonstrated that entrepreneurs don't need to know everything themselves - with a well-defined goal and willingness to learn, hiring the right experts can help overcome challenges and accelerate progress towards success.

[19:11] Building a Successful Brand: Putting Customers First and Seeking Support from the Entrepreneurial Community

When starting a brand, whether it's a restaurant or any other business, it's essential to prioritize the vision of your customers. Instead of beginning with the brand itself, focus on sourcing everything that your customers desire in a skincare product. By understanding their top concerns, preferred texture, and desired usage, you can build a brand and formulate products accordingly. Seek feedback from dermatologists and engage with the entrepreneurial community, as they are often willing to provide valuable support and guidance. Remember, being customer-obsessed and open to seeking help are crucial factors in creating a product that people want to buy and ensuring a successful journey in the business world.

Episode Highlights:

[08:16] How Adversity Brings with It The Seed of Opportunity

Having lost everything in a failed business venture, Trevor found himself at rock bottom. However, it was during this difficult time that he discovered real estate investing, a path he had never considered before. Taking a chance, Trevor purchased his first property, igniting a successful career in real estate and coaching. He emphasizes that although pain and adversity are challenging, they push us outside our comfort zones, opening us up to new possibilities. Adversity forces us to reinvent ourselves and explore alternative paths, leading to the discovery of untapped talents and opportunities we may have never considered. Trevor's story serves as a reminder that within every challenge lies hidden potential, waiting to be embraced with courage and determination.

[46:18] The Law of Familiarity

The law of familiarity states that when we feel something is familiar to us, we tend to like it and do more of it. Trevor discusses this law when talking about Geno Smith's journey in the NFL. Even when Smith was a backup quarterback, he would practice plays and scenarios as if he was the starter, to make the experience feel familiar. This helped him stay ready and prepared for his opportunity. Trevor believes modeling other successful people is a way to feel familiar with achieving similar results. As we expose ourselves to strategies, mindsets and habits of high performers, they start to feel familiar and we are more likely to implement them in our own lives. In this way, the law of familiarity can help us accelerate our learning and progress towards our goals.

[1:02:00] The 4S Framework for Achieving Peak Performance and Success

State - Your state is your focus, language, and how you're showing up mentally and physically. Trevor shares how shifting your physiology through movement can positively impact your state.

Story - He says your story is your identity - are you operating from a victim or victor mindset? Trevor talks about leaving behind identities that are holding you back.

Standards - Trevor stresses the importance of continually raising the bar for yourself across different areas of your life. Whereas others are satisfied, champions demand more of themselves.

Strategy - Trevor defines strategy as having clarity on your desired outcome, why you want it, and what actions to take. With the right strategy, your goals feel achievable and within reach.

Episode Highlights:

[14:44] The Vending Machine Business Model

Process:

• Location scouting is a major time investment to find the best places to maximize revenue
• Pitching the idea to landowners/business owners to get permission to place machines
• Working with a manufacturer like Everest to purchase, customize, and get machines placed

Investment:

• Machines range from $50,000-$60,000 each to purchase
• It's a considerable investment to buy multiple machines

Payback:

• Steve aims for a two-year payback period for the machines to pay for themselves
• Low overhead costs like maintenance help accelerate the return on investment
• Seasonality in Florida requires budgeting for slower winter months

Overall, this model requires upfront costs, learning curves, and balancing machine placements with profitable locations and lease agreements. But with the right locations, vending machines can generate ongoing passive income.

[21:01] Business Model for Nursing Tutoring Platform: Business Funnels and Automation

• • Nicole's innovative nursing tutoring platform uses a multi-pronged approach, offering self-study courses on key topics and a monthly membership for access to all content, a student forum, and weekly live group sessions. Memberships are available at discounted rates for longer terms. Nicole's model focuses on nurturing a nursing mindset in students, bolstering their academic and career success. Automation allows for passive operations, enabling her to focus on member support. Her long-term vision includes business expansion by growing the membership base, aiding more students, and potentially teaching others her tutoring methods.

• [51:44] Tips for Running an Online Business

• Perfection shouldn't be your initial goal. Instead, launch your product and focus on marketing and gathering feedback. Conduct market research to ensure your solution addresses the right problem. A pre-sale can validate your idea before full-fledged production. Engage with communities like Facebook groups to better understand your target market's needs. Be open to experimentation and pivot your offerings based on what resonates with your audience. Automate tasks like emails to free up your time and maintain a mindset that if your solution can make a difference, it's essential to get it out there through consistent marketing.

31:24 - Ways to overcome resistance and building a champion mindset

41:48 - Enhancing creativity through unplugging and time-blocking

Episode Highlights:

[07:01] The Concept of Stacking Your Wins

• The concept of stacking your wins is a powerful mindset shift that can propel individuals towards success. It's about nurturing the belief in yourself and your ability to win, which then drives the actions needed to achieve your goals. This strategy involves celebrating even the small victories along your journey, thereby building a track record of success that strengthens your self-confidence and perseverance. This approach aligns with teachings from thought leaders like Dan Sullivan and Tony Robbins, who emphasize the role of belief and confidence in personal growth. Adopting this technique can involve simple practices, such as daily reflections on your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. This helps cultivate an attitude of accomplishment and progress, as opposed to focusing solely on unmet goals or challenges ahead.

[11:25] Finding Joy and Success in Business

In the relentless pursuit of success, one can easily lose sight of the joy inherent in the journey, transforming it into a never-ending chase that feels unfulfilling. It's unnecessary to build another prison where you're shackled by your own goals and mindset. But you can still achieve more by doing less and still make an impact on others. 

[19:08] The Arena of Life: Separating Role Performance from Self-Worth

Many people, when faced with failure in their various roles - be it as a business owner, parent, coach, or spiritual guide - tend to internalize these setbacks and label themselves as failures. This self-attached label can trigger a downward spiral, as our lives are composed of numerous roles, and the performance in each should not define our self-worth. It's crucial to understand that failing in a role does not equate to personal failure. For example, if one experiences failure as a business partner, it doesn't tarnish their worth as an individual. Maintaining a self-perception of always being a '10', irrespective of role performance, can significantly enhance resilience and readiness for future ventures.

[25:47] Charging Based on Your Worth

Often, the biggest obstacle people face is not their skill set or knowledge, but rather the self-doubt that resides within their minds. This issue is particularly prevalent in sales and among business owners, especially women. The tendency is to undervalue oneself and charge based on what is believed others are willing to pay, rather than acknowledging personal worth. It's crucial to understand that there's a reason for the price you set, and it should reflect your worth, not others' perceived willingness to pay.

Finally, find out why Bronson's fund earns the spotlight for its ability to harness the time value of money, delivering upfront returns through monthly distributions. Sit back, relax, and let's deep-dive into these intriguing investment opportunities!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[02:46] - Bronson and Patrick’s background 

[10:32] - Patrick’s recessionary acquisitions strategy

[19:50] - Bronson’s ATM fund

[26:33] - The ATM fund’s minimum investment, ROI

[40:54] - Diversifying retirement account funds

[44:32] - The benefits of checkbook control accounts

[48:52] - Risks in ATM funds

Episode Highlights:

[10:32] Patrick’s Recessionary Acquisition Strategy

• The recessionary acquisitions strategy involves capitalizing on buying opportunities during economic downturns, specifically, buying distressed properties from owners needing quick exits, closing within 14 days of due diligence. Properties are bought all-cash at a discount, often 20-30% below market value. This approach focuses on making immediate returns on the acquisition, allowing for compounding growth by reinvesting and acquiring additional assets. Through tax advantage exchanges and strategic selling, one asset can be transformed into two, and further multiplied. As we approach 2025, with an expected increase in distressed operators, taking action and purchasing quickly becomes crucial for long-term financial success. This strategy minimizes risk by calculating returns precisely and allows for flexibility in case of unfavorable market conditions.

[19:50] Bronson’s ATM Fund: Consistent Cash Flow

• The ATM Fund offers investors the opportunity to diversify their investment across a portfolio of over 25,000 ATMs across 12+ states. With a minimum investment of $52,000 (which may increase to $100,000), investors can expect consistent monthly cash flow, known as a "preferred return," starting from around the fourth month of investment. The fund has a proven track record of never missing a monthly payment in its 11-year history, providing reliability to investors. Individual investments have a duration of seven years and offer attractive returns of approximately 1.8 times the equity multiple, with an 11% cash-on-cash return and a 19% internal rate of return (IRR) when factoring in early distributions. Moreover, the fund provides strong tax benefits through high depreciation of 80% in the first year, offsetting gains for investors. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the ATM industry has demonstrated steady growth of around 4% annually, making it a resilient investment option.

[16:47] - The three phases in the helping/service industry

[26:56] - The power of mentorship

[30:49] - The key factors of success

[38:23] - Chris’ mission with Infinite Skies

Episode Highlights:

[13:45] The Payment for Being an Entrepreneur

While this personal growth is rewarding, it also comes with its challenges. Entrepreneurs must constantly improve themselves and may experience more stress and isolation than other careers. However, according to Chris, this constant personal development is the price entrepreneurs pay for the rewards and freedoms of being their own boss.

[16:47] The Three Phases In The Helping/Service Industry

Chris talks about the three phases that people in helping or service industries like social workers, doctors, nurses, and therapists often go through:

1. Phase one is being purely passionate about the work and not concerned about pay. Just wanting to help people and make an impact.
2. Phase two is when people become managers of others doing the actual jobs they originally wanted to do themselves. They take on more administrative tasks and responsibilities to earn a more livable wage.
3. Phase three is when people either leave the industry altogether to pursue higher paying work, or they stay but become jaded, hostile, and no longer able to properly serve their clients and community.

According to Chris, his goal through real estate investing and the work he does is to help people avoid moving from phase two to phase three - to allow them to stay passionate about their helping roles while also attaining adequate pay and financial security.

[31:30] The Key Factors of Success

• Grit and determination. He notes how you can often tell who will succeed based on those who are raring to go and knocking down any obstacles without playing the victim.
• Not being afraid of failure. Successful people see failures and setbacks as learning opportunities rather than something to fear.
• Defining what "enough" means for themselves. Setting clear goals based on personal fulfillment rather than constantly comparing to others.
• Letting go of limiting beliefs and messages absorbed from childhood that no longer serve them. Successful people are willing to challenge old mindsets.
• Constant personal development and growth. Entrepreneurship provides ongoing lessons that force people out of their comfort zones.
• Surrounding yourself with complementary skills. No one person can do it all, so successful entrepreneurs build teams to cover different strengths.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[01:31] - Michelle’s transition from corporate to consulting 

[07:32] - The importance of passion and mentorship in entrepreneurship

[13:16] - Overcoming regret and saying yes to opportunities

[18:54] - The different mindset of entrepreneurs and corporate executives

[21:14] - The lean operating system 

[29:01] - Work-life balance and productivity tips

[34:03] - Managing distractions and optimizing work hours for productivity

[46:45] - Embracing failure as an opportunity for innovation

Episode Highlights:

[07:32] The Importance of Passion and Mentorship in Entrepreneurship

Passion is a key driver in starting a successful business, according to an experienced entrepreneur. It's important to focus on what you enjoy doing, as starting a business in something you dislike can quickly turn into a job that you hate. Along with passion, having the necessary skill set is also crucial. Seeking out successful individuals in your industry and learning from them through mentorship and coaching is a great way to develop your skills and knowledge. By being open to learning and absorbing everything you can about your desired business, you can increase your chances of success.

[13:16] Overcoming Regret and Embracing Opportunities

Regret can be a powerful force in the mind, according to a business owner. For Michelle, the fear of looking back on her life with regret was a bigger motivator than the fear of failure. To combat this, she took the advice of a friend who encouraged her to say "yes" to every opportunity that came her way. Whether it was a small coffee meeting or appearing on a podcast, she believed that every opportunity had the potential to lead to something great. By being open to new experiences and possibilities, you can overcome your fears and move beyond the barriers holding you back. 

[21:14] The Lean Operating System and Trusting Frontline Staff

Implementing a lean operating system requires leaders to trust their frontline staff, a difficult pill for some to swallow. However, employees are a company's biggest asset, as they work directly with the issues and often develop workarounds for existing problems. By providing staff with tools, coaching, and methodology, they can improve the organization as a whole by identifying and fixing problems at the source. This approach empowers employees to take ownership of their work and encourages innovation and continuous improvement. Through trusting and supporting frontline staff, leaders can foster a culture of collaboration and growth, leading to greater success for the company in the long run.

[46:45] Embracing Failure as an Opportunity for Innovation

Failure is a learning opportunity. In a society where failure is often stigmatized, reframe failure with the mindset of "What can I learn?" or "What's the inherent lesson?" By embracing failure, entrepreneurs can drive innovation and ultimately reach their goals. As an entrepreneur herself, Michelle constantly tests and experiments with different approaches and changes, analyzing the results to determine what works and what doesn't. Through this iterative process, she is able to innovate and stay ahead of the competition.

[40:13] - Business strategy and risk management for both asset classes

Episode Highlights:

[06:59] The Laundry Facility Investment Fund

Sam explained that investing in individual laundromats through single-asset syndications is not financially viable due to the high setup costs involved. Instead, they have introduced an investment fund model with the goal of raising $10 million to acquire 20-25 laundry facilities in a specific region. This approach allows for economies of scale in areas such as staffing, marketing, and supply costs. By pooling multiple stores into one fund, they can offer a minimum investment of $50,000 to accredited investors, while also improving diversification and reducing competition risks. 

- Minimum Investment: $50,000 into a $10 million fund - Projected Returns: 11-14% cash-on-cash, 16-20% IRR over 8 years - Tax Benefits: Large upfront depreciation on equipment purchases can provide substantial tax write-offs

[16:21] Understanding the Car Wash Business Model

Rob explains that there are three main types of car wash facilities: self-serve bays, in-bay automatics, and express tunnels. Self-serve bays allow customers to wash their own cars using their own supplies, while in-bay automatics provide a wash by rotating equipment around the stationary vehicle. However, Rob invests in express tunnels, where cars queue up and are loaded onto a conveyor belt or track for a thorough cleaning using friction, chemicals, and high-pressure water. This model offers a quick wash time of just 3 minutes on average, preventing long wait times that can discourage customers. 

- Minimum Investment: $50,000 for a single-asset syndication - Projected Returns: 17-18% IRR, over 50% cash-on-cash returns initially - Tax Benefits: Significant depreciation available, especially on tunnel equipment. Investors can expect a 40%+ tax write-off in year 1 on a $50k investment.

[40:13] Business Strategy and Risk Management

Laundry Facilities 

• Focus on modernizing customer experience with clean, safe stores offering value-added services like delivery/drop-off
• Launch investment fund to aggregate multiple properties for economies of scale and strategic portfolio growth
• Main risks are security issues due to cash-heavy business and potential competition

Car Wash 

• Invest exclusively in high-volume express tunnel models for optimal throughput and customer experience
• Leverage prime commercial real estate locations for maximum vehicle access and visibility
• Mitigate competition risk through thorough due diligence on surrounding sites
• Potential add-on services like pet washing to increase customer spend per visit
• Build in-house management team to directly oversee brand consistency and operations

[15:09] - Chasing personal success

[17:47] - The pursuit of growth through continuous learning

[21:00] - Coaching and finding your community

[24:20] - Investing in mentorship and coaching

Episode Highlights:

[11:39] Purposeful Careers: Building for Personal Success

• • A career should be driven by purpose or be purposeful itself. When your career aligns with your purpose, like my journey as a police officer, it brings fulfillment and joy because you are doing what you love. However, if your current job lacks that sense of purpose, it becomes crucial to use your paychecks wisely. Take those earnings and invest them in something that resonates with you, whether it's nurturing relationships, gaining valuable experiences, or investing in assets like real estate or dividend stocks. By using your paychecks purposefully, you can build something meaningful for yourself. It's essential to have a perspective that goes beyond the societal notion of success, which often revolves around titles like executive VP, CEO, or partner. Instead, focus on creating a path that aligns with your true aspirations and values.

• [15:09] Chasing Personal Success: Maurice's Unconventional Journey

• • In 2021, Maurice made a bold decision to leave his job when he realized that he hadn't received a promotion since 2013. Contrary to societal expectations, he consistently turned down partner roles, preferring a good salary and staying off management's radar. This confused many, but Maurice was resolute in his pursuit of personal success, which meant prioritizing experiences and building relationships over titles and responsibilities.
  • Maurice's experience serves as a powerful reminder that success should be defined individually, not by others' standards. By courageously carving his own path, he prioritized what truly mattered to him, leaving behind the conventional notions of success.

• [17:47] The Pursuit of Growth: Maurice's Journey of Continuous Learning

• Maurice believes in surrounding himself with extraordinary individuals who inspire and challenge him, emphasizing that it's not about financial success but rather their drive to make a difference through initiatives and philanthropy. He has a deep-rooted desire to constantly be in a state of learning, rejecting the notion of reaching the pinnacle of knowledge on a mountaintop. For Maurice, stagnation is a problem. Instead, he actively seeks out unfamiliar situations that push him beyond his comfort zone, where he can embrace the unknown and embark on a journey of continuous growth and discovery.

[44:59] - Real estate investment risks and potential returns

Episode Highlights:

[13:14] Investment Considerations for Office-to-Condo Model

The office-to-condo model is an investment strategy where office buildings are converted into residential condominiums. This approach allows developers to capitalize on the growing demand for urban housing and repurpose underutilized office spaces. Here are some key points about the office-to-condo model:

1. Minimum Investment: The minimum investment for the office-to-condo model is typically around $100,000. This investment amount may vary depending on the specific project and location.
2. Accredited Investors: Developers usually prefer to work with accredited investors for such projects. Accredited investors are individuals or entities that meet certain financial criteria and are deemed to have a higher level of sophistication and understanding of investment risks.
3. Return on Investment: With the office-to-condo model, investors can expect a return of their capital within approximately 30 months. This timeline may vary based on project specifics.
4. Long-Term Cash Flow: One of the advantages of the office-to-condo model is the potential for a steady stream of cash flow over the long term. By acting as a "bank," developers can create a second mortgage income stream, doubling their profits. This cash flow can last for up to 30 years or as long as the investor holds the mortgage.

[23:42] Investment Considerations for Ground-Up Condominium Construction Model

The Ground-Up Condominium Construction model is a real estate investment strategy that involves constructing condominium buildings from scratch. Here are some key points about this model:

1. Higher Projected Returns: The Ground-Up Condominium Construction model offers higher projected returns compared to traditional value-add multifamily investments. Investors can expect returns in the range of 60-70% over a shorter hold period of 24-30 months. These returns are subject to market conditions and project-specific factors.
2. Design Optimization: With ground-up construction, developers have the opportunity to fully design the building to optimize functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics. This allows for greater control over the final product and can enhance the market appeal of the condominiums. However, there are inherent risks associated with obtaining approvals, demolition, and foundation work.
3. Exit Strategy: The exit strategy for the Ground-Up Condominium Construction model involves pre-selling individual condo units. This means that the project must be sufficiently completed before closing sales can take place. Pre-selling allows developers to secure buyers and ensure a smoother transition to the next phase of the project.
4. Minimum Investment and Returns: Passive investors can participate in this model with a minimum investment of $50,000. Depending on the specific project, annualized returns of 23-25% or higher can be expected.

Today, he remains deeply engaged in various aspects of the real estate industry, alongside hosting the widely acclaimed "Know Your Shit" podcast, writing books, and coaching clients on his customer-centric approach.

[39:21] - Embracing pain to discover your untapped potential

[1:00:50] - Embracing life’s challenges

Episode Highlights:

[06:02] Understanding the Power of Differential Cashflow in Commercial Ventures

When it comes to commercial ventures, grasping the concept of differential cashflow is essential. It serves as the foundation upon which successful transactions are built. The ability to comprehend that you are essentially selling the customer the future of an asset, and quantifying the value of that future, is paramount. Failure to accurately assess the future sale price and potential rents indicates a lack of proficiency in the role. In order to excel in this field, it is crucial to fully comprehend and effectively communicate the quantifiable aspects of the investment to prospective investors. Only then can you truly succeed in your professional endeavors.

[16:43] Get Off the Mountain Top to See the Best Version of You

People often feel satisfied staying on the "mountaintop" after reaching a high point, but that is where growth stops. Josh believes the only way to see what you are truly capable of is to willingly get "off the mountain top" and back into challenging situations represented by being in the "valley". It is only by facing difficulties and discomfort that one can push past perceived limits and reach an even "higher mountaintop" in terms of abilities and potential.

[39:21] Embracing Pain to Discover Your Untapped Potential

While many individuals shy away from difficult situations due to the anticipated pain, Josh challenges this mindset. He contends that pain, though uncomfortable, provides a unique opportunity to uncover your true limits. By confronting pain head-on in challenging circumstances, you have the chance to push yourself beyond perceived boundaries and discover your untapped potential. It is through these experiences that personal growth flourishes. Rather than succumbing to fear, Josh advocates facing your pain and using it as a catalyst to test your abilities, ultimately becoming the best version of yourself.

[1:00:50] - Embracing Life’s Challenges

In life, when we encounter adversity, it's tempting to retreat and avoid the incoming fire. However, there is immense power in facing challenges head-on and running towards the flames rather than running away. Taking a proactive and fearless approach to life allows us to seize opportunities and pursue our dreams with determination. Instead of being shot in the back, let's embrace the aggressive and bold mindset that leads us to the abundance and fulfillment life has to offer. So, let's march forward, ready to conquer and claim the goodness that awaits us.

Episode Highlights:

[11:43] Mid-Sized Multifamily Value-Add Properties vs. Built-to-Rent Development

Jesse discussed his approach to small to mid-sized multifamily value-add properties. He looks for underperforming assets that can be improved through renovations, better management, and driving rents higher. This allows him to increase the net operating income and property value.

Ruben then explained his build-to-rent model. He partners with experienced developers and general contractors to acquire land, obtain entitlements, and construct entire subdivisions of single-family rental homes. Ruben discussed raising capital in phases - first for infrastructure, then vertical development. Build-to-rent aims to provide the home experience to renters while cash flows for investors.

Both guests also touched on financing. Jesse emphasized flexibility and avoiding variable rate debt. Ruben noted being able to force appreciation at each stage of the build-to-rent process through incremental value creation as infrastructure and amenities are added.

[40:01] The Pros and Cons

For small multifamily (Jesse's model)

• Pros: It's a very proven asset class that has historically performed well through economic cycles due to rental demand. Properties can often be acquired below replacement cost. 
• Cons: Individual properties have more vacancy risk. Scaling the business is challenging due to financing complexity with a large number of small properties. Cash flow can vary with tenant turnover. Amenities are generally more limited.

For build-to-rent (Ruben's model)

• Pros: It allows for large returns through multiple exits and appreciation forced at each development stage. Renters prefer the home experience it provides. Strong demand from institutional buyers. 
• Cons: It carries more development risk that investors may not fully understand. Locations need to support rapid growth. Expenses like maintenance may rise over time with many individual housing units.

[1:02:34] Today’s Winner: Ruben’s Build-to-Rent

• The build-to-rent model emerged as the clear winner due to its significant potential upside, flexibility in exit strategies, alignment with the growing demand for housing, and effective risk mitigation through partnering with experienced operators and builders. Overall, it offers attractive opportunities for investors seeking larger returns, adaptability, growth, and secure investment paths.

[15:12] Strategies for a Successful Career Change

Through asking strategic questions, you can quickly understand complex problems or opportunities and determine the best path forward. It’s a powerful skill that you can have in your tool box as you’re able to pick apart a problem or situation and typically find the one thread or proposition that can solve a big part of an issue within 10 minutes of focused discussion. By actively seeking feedback from people we work with, friends, family, clients and colleagues, we can gain valuable insights into how others perceive us and our impact. This feedback can help uncover talents we're unaware of possessing.

• • The "do not do" list is crucial, especially when facing challenges and responsibilities like family and financial concerns. Have you prepared enough for the next 190 days, following a six month emergency game plan? It's essential to have savings readily available, allowing you to focus on your goals without the constant worry of needing immediate income. Prioritizing saving money becomes the mission for financial security.

• [21:52] Two Ways to Get to Where You Want to Be

• 1. Job hopping - By regularly changing jobs every 1-2 years, you can increase your compensation and benefits at each new role. This allows you to continuously advance your career and financial position rather than staying stagnant at one company.
• 2. Developing a side hustle - Having a side business or side project that generates additional income provides an avenue for financial independence beyond just a single paycheck. It allows you to gain more control over your cash flow and get closer to your goals through entrepreneurial efforts.

[26:11] Outsourcing to Focus on What Matters

• • When you're feeling overwhelmed after leaving your job, it's time to take a step back and evaluate your tasks. Start by writing down everything you do on a daily basis, from mundane chores to important business activities. As you check off the list, identify what can be outsourced, allowing you to focus on what you truly love and excel at. By outsourcing and reclaiming your time, you can concentrate on high-value activities that bring significant returns and make a lasting impact.

• [33:58] The Importance of Writing Down Your Goals

• The most successful individuals in the world understand the power of writing down their goals.By identifying these three tasks and breaking them down into actionable steps, progress becomes tangible. Writing down goals transforms mere dreams and intentions into concrete targets. It triggers a connection within the mind, stimulating visualization and problem-solving abilities.

Episode Highlights:

[18:40] Why Running an Apartment Complex is Like Parenting

Running an apartment complex is akin to parenting - exciting yet challenging. Managing the property, securing tenants, and closing deals can be stressful, like the difficulties of pregnancy. Success requires attention, intention, and continuous learning, mirroring the demands of raising children. Rather than acquiring more properties, focusing on improving and mastering the current one is vital. By giving it the necessary attention and intention, one can effectively navigate property management and achieve success.

[27:58] Michael’s Experience Raising Funds

Michael takes a hands-on yet high-touch approach, simplifying paperwork and processes for investors. He aims to provide top-notch service. While he has experience using SyndicationPro, Michael noted the platform is still developing. He is transitioning to Juniper Square which seems more advanced currently. Michael highlighted tracking response rates at different stages of capital raising to avoid being surprised by lower-than-expected results later on. Putting others above himself in his dealings and communications is a trait Michael believes leads to building strong, trusting relationships with investors.

[1:01:13] Key Success Factors for Capital Raising

• Authenticity. Don't try to appear further along than you actually are. People can see through that.
• Put others above yourself. Make it about serving investors well rather than how things make you look or feel.
• Build trust and relationships over time through authentic interactions and high-touch service.
• Continually learn and improve your process based on metrics like response rates at different stages. Track what's working.
• Simplify and streamline things for investors like paperwork. Don't make them jump through unnecessary hoops.
• Have a support system to help you through challenges. Michael mentioned mentors who have been invaluable guides.

[1:04:11] The Downsides of Capital Raising

The weight of responsibility can be overwhelming as it involves handling people's life savings, leading to sleepless nights. Understanding the gravity of this responsibility and approaching it seriously is crucial. Conversely, if someone lacks concern about accepting others' money, it may indicate their unsuitability for this business. Capital raising demands a deep understanding of seriousness and genuine care for investors' financial well-being. Despite the downsides, certain individuals, like Michael, find fulfillment in shouldering this responsibility.

[34:59] - The benefits of investing in self-storage

[42:10] - Where to look for value-add properties

[51:47] - Risks and Opportunities: Self-storage vs. Mobile homes

Episode Highlights:

[03:51] Round 1: Get to Know Mike and Pete

Pete shares that he has been investing in real estate since the 1980s, starting with single-family homes and then moving into mobile homes and RV parks. He bought his first park in 2007 and then transformed it into an affordable housing solution by renting land for tiny homes and park models. On the other hand, Mike started as a landlord of single-family and duplex properties but wanted more autonomy and cash flow. In 2011 he transitioned into self-storage, quitting his job as a physical therapist. Though it was a big pay cut initially, he was able to turn his first struggling storage facility around and has been investing in storage ever since.

[16:18] Round 2: Mobile Home Parks vs. Self-Storage From A Business Standpoint

Mobile Home Parks

Pete explains that RV and mobile home parks can generate higher returns per square foot of land compared to multifamily properties. By renting land for tiny homes and park models, they can get $7,200 to $14,000 per lot annually versus $4,200 for seasonal RV rentals. The business model focuses on providing affordable housing solutions through a land lease arrangement. Residents have been able to build equity in their homes while the parks have seen rising revenue. The main risks are government regulations and overpaying for properties.

Self-Storage

Mike describes how self-storage benefits from lower operating expenses of 25-28% compared to 50-55% for multifamily. This yields higher profits per square foot despite similar rental rates. His strategy involves buying underperforming, neglected properties and deploying systems to improve operations and cash flow. He aims to double or triple the value of the properties within 2-4 years through a combination of buy and hold, value add, and fix and flip strategies. The main risks he mentions are overpaying due to cheap debt, interest rate resets, and a potential buyer's market in self-storage due to the current economic environment.

[51:47] Round 3: Risks and Opportunities

Mobile Home Parks

• The main risks are overleveraging properties and rising interest rates when debt refinances come due. 
• There will always be demand for affordable housing solutions as long as population growth continues. 
• Investors can expect returns in the 15%+ range once properties are stabilized. It typically takes 3-5 years for investors to recoup their initial capital. 

Self-Storage

• The main risks are overpaying for properties, high leverage, and interest rate resets that impact cash flow. 
• Self-storage is recession-resistant due to drivers of demand like downsizing, foreclosures, and job displacement.
• Investors can target equity returns of 16-20% and debt returns of 8-12%. Minimum investments are typically $50k-$250k. 

Overall, both investors emphasize the importance of a long-term view, risk mitigation, and focusing on lifestyle and serving customers/investors over chasing the highest returns.

Episode Highlights:

[11:34] The Importance of Skills Beyond Wealth

Opportunities like these arise once every decade or so, but simply accumulating wealth doesn't grant you essential skills. Let's say you strike gold with Dogecoin and amass a staggering $100 million—while this may seem mind-boggling in terms of percentages and probability, it won't necessarily equate to success. Without knowledge of business, leadership, employee management, motivating others, attracting leads, building infrastructure, or assessing risk, the money alone won't bring you much value. You might indulge in luxury purchases or spend recklessly, but without skills, you won't gain much beyond that.

[21:47] Hunter's Unique Funding Strategy Leads to Vertical Integration and Increased Control

Hunter pioneered a unique funding approach, investing in ventures led by industry experts, despite his lack of experience. He convinced accomplished individuals to accept million-dollar investments, securing favorable returns and splits without scrutiny. By pooling investors and surpassing the million-dollar mark, Hunter funded his own ventures and formed valuable partnerships across industries. This allowed him to access opportunities beyond his reach. Now, after a decade of capital placement, Hunter is embracing vertical integration to purchase deals and gain complete control. He attributes this transition to continuous learning, growing confidence, enhanced capital-raising abilities, and an established reputation.

[26:49] Strategic Investments and Diversification for Passive Investors

Hunter offers insightful advice for passive investors, suggesting a strategy that involves identifying five trustworthy groups with bulletproof integrity and aligning investment beliefs. He emphasizes the importance of going all in with these groups, committing $100,000 to each deal they present. This approach, according to Hunter, is an optimal way for passive investors to navigate the investment game. In the realm of entrepreneurship and business ownership, Hunter advises being hyper-specialized and localized. Instead of relying on a single investment partner, he recommends diversifying investments across five different individuals or groups. By doing so, passive investors can mitigate risks and maximize opportunities.

Episode Highlights:

[04:29] Round 1: Avery and Glenn & Amber’s Background

Avery Carl is the CEO of the nation's top short-term rental and Airbnb rental agency, The Short Term Shop, overseeing a portfolio of over 220 rental units and having connected investors with over 5,000 cash-flowing short-term rentals. Avery is on a mission to help investors reach financial independence through short-term rentals.

Real estate power couple, Glenn & Amber Schworm, have built their empire over the last 15 years after being $80,000 deep in credit card debt. From their point of desperation, they began cashing in on large chunks of profit in the single-family space through flipping homes. They have flipped over 1,000 homes with a finished value of over $100 million in counting since 2007. Now, with a proven business model in hand, they are also on a mission to transform the lives of others with their flipping model.

[10:48] Round 2: Short-Term Rentals vs. House-Flipping

Glenn and Amber, like many others, found that house flipping offered a unique set of pros that appealed to his entrepreneurial spirit. Unlike being a landlord with the responsibilities of managing rental properties, house flipping allowed him to focus on transforming distressed properties into beautiful homes. The design aspect was thrilling, and the potential for quick cash influxes was enticing. While the current market presents challenges in finding off-market deals, networking, and strategic marketing are valuable to uncover those lucrative opportunities.

On the other hand, Avery talks about how she focuses on vacation rental markets that are tourism-dependent and have a history of short-term rentals. She mentions that buying properties that are already furnished can reduce costs for short-term rentals. Sellers in vacation markets are often willing to leave the furniture since removing it can be a hassle. This can reduce the initial investment needed to get a short-term rental up and running.

[29:50] Round 3: Whose Model is the Best?

Glenn highlights the advantages of house flipping, stating that it generates the necessary funds for purchasing investment properties. He emphasizes the tax benefits that come with cash-out refinances. Avery, on the other hand, argues in favor of short-term rentals in the right market, citing a simpler business model with fewer complications. She emphasizes the importance of adaptability for success. Glenn and Amber both acknowledge the sound strategy of Avery's hyper-focused short-term rental model in tourism markets. Ultimately, they all agree real estate offers numerous benefits, such as tax advantages, appreciation, and potential for passive income. And while the concept of "passive income" is often associated with real estate, all business models require active management to some extent.

Episode Highlights:

[03:56] Rod’s Story of Failure, Resilience, and Success

As a Dutch immigrant, Rod faced struggles, including eating expired food and wearing secondhand clothes. However, his mother's work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit inspired him. Witnessing her success in the stock market and real estate, Rod decided to pursue a career in real estate himself. Starting with modest earnings, he learned the importance of mindset and psychology from a mentor, which became a turning point in his life. Over the years, Rod built an impressive portfolio of rental properties and apartment units, experiencing significant wealth growth. However, in 2008, he suffered a devastating loss of $50 million during the financial crisis. Despite this setback, Rod's focus on mindset and psychology played a crucial role in his recovery. Today, he shares his journey and emphasizes the vital role mindset plays in achieving success.

[07:35] Setting Goals and Making the Decision to Create the Life You Deserve

In his book "Think and Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill emphasizes the importance of having a burning desire to overcome fear, limiting beliefs, and the comfort zone. It all begins with setting goals and understanding the why behind those goals, which is even more significant than the goals themselves. When faced with adversity and losing everything, realigning with goals becomes crucial. Taking it a step further, making the decision to venture beyond the confines of a traditional job or explore a side hustle is vital for creating the life you truly deserve.

[14:42] Leveraging Partnerships and Playing to Your Strengths

Focus on your strengths and find ways to complement your weaknesses. In the multifamily space, successful partnerships often involve pairing an analytical person with an outgoing person. This combination is a match made in heaven. While it's important to address and improve upon your weaknesses, prioritize leveraging your strengths for success.

[38:56] The Transformative Power of Affirmations

The power of affirmations and self-identification is profound. By consciously stating "I am" followed by positive attributes or goals, we reinforce our desired identity and internalize those qualities. Surrounding ourselves with visual reminders and shouting affirmations with conviction can transform our mindset and behavior. This practice helps overcome fear, boost confidence, and drives us towards achieving our goals. Affirmations have been used by successful individuals to enhance performance and create positive change. Embracing their potential as a tool for personal growth and transformation is key.

[32:08] - The benefits of vineyard investing

[34:07] - The risks involved in these types of investments

Episode Highlights:

[13:47] Vineyard Investments vs. Campground Investing

Keeley Hubbard discussed how they syndicate Texas vineyard investments. The key points were:

• They are filling the large supply gap for Texas wineries since Texas only produces about half the grapes needed for the wine demand.
• They use mechanized vineyards to reduce costs and increase profit margins. This allows them to offer higher returns to investors.
• Investors have a longer horizon of 10+ years since it takes 4-5 years for the vines to mature and start generating revenue. But after that, the vineyards will cash flow for 20-25 years.
• They raise around $7-7.5 million per vineyard block and offer investors returns over 250% over 10 years plus 16-18% annual cash flow for years 15-25.

Adam Lendi Lindy and Justin Hoggatt Hoggett discussed how they syndicate their campground and RV park deals. The key points were:

• They focus on the business performance and revenue streams to increase property values and cash flow.
• They manage the properties themselves through their operating company to have more control and maximize performance.
• They recently launched a $25 million fund to purchase multiple properties and diversify cash flows. Minimum investment is $100,000.
• They target returns of around 15% cash on cash and 2.2-3x equity multiple over their 5 year hold period.

[14:40] Unlocking the Potential of Vacation Destination Properties

In this model, you prioritize catering to transient guests who stay for less than 30 days. The main focus revolves around vacation destination properties, as they offer unique advantages over long-term residences. While some may prefer the security of a campground filled with long-term tenants, maximizing the number of nightly stays leads to significantly higher revenue per night. Moreover, there are additional revenue streams that may accompany your core offerings. Investing in the hospitality industry is not only exciting but also brimming with opportunity. However, it's important to note that navigating this space requires intricate and meticulous underwriting processes to ensure success.

[32:08] Refinancing Flexibility From Vineyard Investing

Unlike many other investments that require refinancing, vineyard investing offers more flexibility. Refinancing typically occurs around year eight, allowing time for the investment to mature. If interest rates are above 8%, investors can choose to maintain the existing financing terms, ensuring the investment continues to generate cash flow in double digits. Investing in vineyards provides an opportunity for long-term growth and financial stability.

[34:39] Embracing Your True Calling and Passion

Spending time on something that doesn't align with your passion or calling can lead to a sense of mediocrity.

The longer you wait, the higher the risk of settling for an ordinary life. Embracing your true calling and pursuing what you are passionate about can lead to extraordinary outcomes.

[40:58] Fixed vs. Growth Mindsets

The concept of fixed mindset vs. growth mindset revolves around the belief that some people see their abilities and intelligence as fixed traits, while others believe they can be developed through hard work and dedication. Coachability and accountability play key roles in determining success. Being open to guidance from mentors and coaches, and being willing to make adjustments based on feedback, is crucial for growth. Additionally, maintaining discipline and motivation, even in the face of challenges, is essential for achieving goals. By embracing a growth mindset, being coachable, and prioritizing accountability, individuals and teams can unlock their full potential and achieve success.

[45:13] Embracing Risk and Unleashing Creativity as an Entrepreneur

In our society, there is often a strong emphasis on security and financial stability, which can sometimes hinder creativity and the willingness to take risks.
