Ep #118: Learn About this Little Known Alternative to the 1031 Exchange called the Deferred Sales Trust and How it Can Be an Absolute Game Changer to Your Real Estate Business

<p>Our guest for this week's show is Deferred Sales Trust Expert, Richard Hershey.</p> <p>In today's show, I'll be speaking with Richard about this 1031 exchange alternative called the deferred sales trust. If you've ever been involved in a 1031 transaction before then you know that the short time constraints can be absolutely nerve wrecking and a failed 1031 can leave your money tied up for up to 6 months, and worst yet, a failed 1031 means that all those capital gains you were trying to avoid paying will now be fully realized. Well, welcome to what I'd like to refer to as your 1031 plan "B". Whether you're a new investor or seasoned pro, I'm positive that you'll get a ton of value from my interview with Richard today.</p> <p><strong>In this show with Richard you're going to learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li>What exactly a deferred sales trust is and how this estate planning instrument can offer you an alternative to a 1031 exchange and actually become a "plan B" or failsafe in case you encounter a failed 1031 exchange,</li> <li>The benefits of being able to purchase investments other than just real estate from your sales proceeds by use of the deferred sales trust. These investments could be bonds, stocks, annuities, etc.</li> <li>The costs and fees associated with this type of structure.</li> <li>How, we real estate investors can use this as a strategy when dealing with sellers who don't have an interest in buying more property and who also have a fully depreciated asset that will have some major tax consequences should they sell. In my business I deal with a lot of mom and pop sellers who are in this exact scenario where a deferred sales trust would be the perfect way for them to sell their property without having to exchange into another active real estate investment while still mitigating their exposure to uncle sam.</li> <li>And much more</li> </ul> <p><strong>Recommended Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Grab a free copy of my latest book "The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When Purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…<em>and how to avoid them</em> <a href= "http://www.MobileHomeParkAcademy.com">MobileHomeParkAcademy.com</a></li> <li>Download my free success guide, "7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors" by going to <a href= "http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">KevinBupp.com/guide</a></li> <li>Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link <a href= "https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</a></li> <li>Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

Ep #110: How to Successful Convince a Seller to Owner Finance the Sale of a Property

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In today’s show I’m going to discuss the benefits of using seller financing when buying or selling a property, but more importantly we’re going to discuss how to successfully educate and persuade the owner of a property to consider this type of sale. If you don’t know how to effectively communicate the benefits to a seller then it’s highly unlikely that an owner will consider holding financing for you during a sale. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to <a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">KevinBupp.com/guide</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link <a href="https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</a> </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

Ep #109: How to Create High-Quality Deal Flow by Implementing a Laser Focused Direct Marketing Campaign – with Eric Stark

<p>Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Investment and Direct Marketing Expert, Eric Stark.</p> <p>Today’s discussion with Eric is an exciting one, and I say that because I wasn’t completely sure what to expect as I didn’t know too much about Eric prior to the call other than he was a very successful investor whose primary focus was residential properties, so I thought. And being that our show is primarily focused on Commercial I wasn’t sure exactly how our conversation would go, but boy am I glad we did the call together, because not only is Eric a brilliant businessman and marketer, but he also has a portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties which means he is the exact type of guest we look to bring on the show.</p> <p>I personally walked away from this interview with Eric with multiple golden nuggets which we’ll be immediately implementing into our business and I’m positive you’ll find the same value as I did, and then some.</p> <p><strong>In this show with Eric you’re going to learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li>How Eric got his start as a residential wholesaler back in 2008 during the financial crisis and how leveraged that down market to grow his real estate business at a very rapid rate.</li> <li>How he’s combatted a highly competitive marketplace by implementing an aggressive direct mail strategy, which has proven very successful in creating a steady stream of deal flow to his business.</li> <li>The reasons he recommends sending a highly personalized direct mail letter to a very small list versus a generic form letter to a massive list and how this one strategy has continued to bring incredible results for his business.</li> <li>How successfully negotiate and strike a deal with an owner who is not money motivated and whose property isn’t even for sale.</li> <li>What a “top 100 list” is and why Eric suggests every investor needs to create this list for themselves.</li> <li>The custom website tool that Eric includes on all of his mailers which offers free education to the property owners regarding the benefits of seller financing. He’ll share the url so you can check it out for yourself</li> <li>How he uses a pre-recorded message to warm up cold leads and also offer an easy way for property owners to get more information about Eric’s business without having to speak to a live person.</li> <li>The letter he sends to surrounding property owners once he’s purchased a property within the same neighborhood and how this one method alone has resulted in multiple additional acquisitions for Eric and his group.</li> <li>How Eric was able to turn a disgruntled property owner who was sick and tired of receiving his direct mail into a friendship that has brought him multiple investment opportunities, capital for deals, not to mention a mentor who had 50+ years of experience in the industry and who has become an invaluable resource to Eric and his team.</li> <li>Why Eric loves the Detroit market and the reasons he says that you should add it to your list of “cities to consider investing in”.</li> <li>The important role a mentor played in Eric’s overall success and why he feels that a good mentor is critical to your success in this business.</li> <li>The one Dr. Seuss book that Eric suggests will change your life and is one of the best business books he’s ever read.</li> <li>And much more</li> </ul> <p><strong>Recommended Resources</strong></p> <ul> <li>Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to <a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">KevinBupp.com/guide</a></li> <li>Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link <a href="https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</a> </li> <li>Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

Ep #106: How to Build a Cash Flow Machine by Investing in Raw Land – with Seth Williams

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our guest for this week’s show is raw land investment expert and founder of the popular Real Estate Investment website REtipster.com, Seth Williams.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In today’s show we’re going to be speaking with Seth about his part-time investment business and how he has created multiple streams of income by buying and selling raw land. If you’ve been a loyal listener to our show for the past few years then you’ve probably heard me previously talk about this niche of raw land investing. Our company even went as far as testing this particular niche to see if it might prove to be a potential new revenue stream for our existing investment business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I think the most existing part about this niche is the fact that someone could essentially get started and buy their first deal for as low as a few hundred bucks. I personally feel that this niche offers a great opportunity for the beginning investor who has limited money and resources to get started in a “not so competitive” niche and start making some passive income streams which they can bank roll and hopefully later parlay into bigger deals. This is also a great niche for those looking for alternative ways to create additional streams of income and some phenomenal returns.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Whether you’re a new or seasoned investor I’m positive that you’ll get a ton of value from our interview together.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> In this show with Seth you’re going to learn:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How Seth got his start as a Raw Land investor while working a full-time job.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he found a unique niche by marketing directly to tax delinquent land owners.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The reasons I feel that this type of investing is a great way for new investors to get started with very little working capital and use it as a stepping stone to get into bigger commercial deals.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The process of obtaining a tax delinquent property owner list from the county and how to properly scrub it.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he was able to streamline his lead generation process by utilizing a strategic recorded message and website.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What the due diligence process looks like on a raw piece of land.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How to properly come up with an estimated value for a vacant piece of land.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What his direct mail process consists of when mailing to land owners.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And much more</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to <a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">KevinBupp.com/guide</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link <a href="https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</a> </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

CFFT #39: Timing the Market to Sell at the Peak of the Real Estate Cycle

<p>I’ve been reading a book that I highly recommend all of you go and pick up and it’s called Timing the Real Estate Markets and it’s written by Craig Hall. This is an important topic because based on my personal experience and what I’m personally seeing in the market place things are getting “as we in the commercial industry like to call” frothy, which means assets are getting overpriced. Now, we all know that real estate runs in cycles and that all markets are unique, but we also know the old adage of “buy low and sell high”, right? In today’s show I’ll share with you my thoughts on where we’re at in the cycle.</p> <p>Recommended Resources</p> <ul> <li>Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to <a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">www.KevinBupp.com/guide</a></li> <li>Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</li> <li>Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

Cash Flow Friday Tip #35: The 2 Critically Important Clauses that Need to Be In All of Your Commercial Purchase Contracts.

<p>This week I'm going to share with you two critically important clauses that you should be using in all of your purchase agreements. It’s very common that if you’re using a standard commercial contract from a broker that neither one of these clauses will be included and they absolutely should be. Below are the actual clauses so that you can easily cut/paste them and add them to your next contract.</p> <p><strong>Clause #1:</strong></p> <p>The PURCHASER'S Due Diligence time frame will be for a period of 60 days and will commence when PURCHASER receives all requested Due Diligence from seller as outlined on the Due Diligence request form. After all documents and materials have been delivered to PURCHASER, PURCHASER may cancel this Agreement for any reason, at the sole discretion of PURCHASER, within sixty (60) days after receiving all documents and materials from SELLER. In the event that PURCHASER elects to cancel this Agreement during the initial 60 day inspection period this paragraph shall serve as authority to the Escrow Agent from the SELLER to act upon the “single order” of PURCHASER to distribute the Earnest money to PURCHASER. Additionally, this paragraph shall serve as the SELLER’S release of the Escrow Agent from liability for disbursing the Earnest money to PURCHASER,</p> <p><strong>Clause #2:</strong></p> <p>PURCHASER to have a period of 30 days following above Due Diligence period to secure financing at terms acceptable to PURCHASER. PURCHASER may cancel this Agreement during this Thirty (30) day period in the event that PURCHASER does not obtain a loan approval for the purchase of the Real Estate and Personal Property that is satisfactory to PURCHASER. An automatic extension of 30 days shall be granted to PURCHASER for loan approval and funding provided LENDER provides a letter showing the loan approval and funding process is moving forward and additional time is needed to finalize the loan and funding process.</p> <p>Recommended Resources</p> <ul> <li>Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to <a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">www.KevinBupp.com/guide</a></li> <li>Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</li> <li>Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

<p>Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Attorney and securities & syndication expert, Gene Trowbridge.

Ep #80: Understanding and successfully navigating the world of CMBS loans - with Ann Hambly

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we're going to be speaking industry expert, Ann Hambly, who is the founder and CEO of 1st Service Solutions , a national service provider and consultancy firm to the commercial real estate industry who provide advice and solutions for anything ranging from the addition or removal of collateral on an existing CMBS loan, to the most complex loan restructure for all loan types.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 15.65pt; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #191919; font-size: 12pt;">And for those of you who might not know what a CMBS loan is here's a quick definition. A CMBS loan, also known as a commercial mortgage-backed security, is a type of fixed-income security that is collateralized by commercial real estate loans. Typically these loans are for commercial properties such as office buildings, hotels, malls, apartment buildings, factories, etc., but <em><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">not</span></em> single-family homes. CMBS make up about 2% of the total U.S. fixed income market. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 15.65pt; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #191919; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.65pt; line-height: 15.65pt; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #191919; font-size: 12pt;">In essence, CMBS are created when a bank takes a group of loans on its books, bundles them together, and sells them in securitized form as a series of bonds. Each series will typically be organized in "tranches" from the senior - or highest-rated, lowest-risk issue - to the highest-risk, lowest-rated issue. The senior issue is first in line to receive principal and interest payments, while the most junior issues will be the first to take a loss if a borrower defaults. Investors choose which issue they invest in based on their desired yield and capacity for risk.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.65pt; line-height: 15.65pt; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #191919; font-size: 12pt;">Today we're going to speak about how Ann's company can help investors navigate the tricky and often times complex CMBS loan process as well as discuss some of the opportunities that might exist from maturing CMBS loans that were created back during the 2005-2008 real estate run-up and how her company can help you capitalize on some of these "soon-to-be" distressed opportunities.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Ann today:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What a CMBS loan is</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What role 1st service solutions plays in the CMBS market and the services they provide to real estate investors</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How Ann was able to grow her company during one of the worst real estate markets in history which was 2008</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The opportunity that exists with the $100+ billion of maturing CMBS loans and how you can go ab
