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.

Cash Flow Friday Tip #25: Recap from my recent trip to Iowa to inspect a Mobile Home Park we are purchasing.

This will be helpful for not only those who are interested in buying mobile home parks, but also for anyone who is looking for purchase an income property. At the end of the day, your job is to try and match up all of the pieces of the puzzle and identify the ones that don't fit and then determine why. In other words, create the factual story of how the property is really performing, not how the owner told you it was performing.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; 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: #111111; font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to </span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">www.KevinBupp.com/guide</a></span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: blue; background: #F3F3F5;">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'd like to discuss a recent dilemma I faced with the "one" property I self manage and how it added an obscene amount of stress during my recent 2 week family vacation to Europe and why it's prompted me to sell this property asap.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The takeaway lesson behind this recent personal story is why you need to focus on being an investor and never take on the role of being a landlord if your goal is to build a scalable real estate empire.

Cash Flow Friday Tip #23: No doesn't mean "NO" forever when it comes to making offers on properties
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I want to talk about the offer making process when buying income properly and why it's vitally important for you to have systems and processes in place to continually follow up with sellers and property owners "After" your initial offer was declined or after you lost a property to another buyer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Let me tell you exactly what I mean by this. You see, being that we are all human and our lives are forever changing, circumstances have a tendency to change from day to day which means that although a seller might have declined your offer on Tuesday doesn't mean that their circumstances might change on Friday which will make them a more motivated seller. Throughout my 15+ years as an investor this theory has held true time and time again which has allowed me to buy multiple properties from owners who originally declined my original offer. Most investors take the approach of "once and done" and will completely lose interest in a deal if their original offer gets declined which is the complete wrong approach to take.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">So here's what I want you to take away from this week's tip. Whether you're dealing with a broker or directly with a property owner it's your duty as a savvy investor to stay in constant contact with them after your initial offer was declined and this can be through either email or phone and it's up to you to choose the one that best suits that particular relationship. And with technology setting reminders for this type of activity are super simple by using many of the free CRM software systems available on the market, your smartphone, or even the old school method of writing it down in a planner. I don't care how you track it as long as you actually do it. </span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">I can promise that if you'll significantly increase your number of accepted offers if you use this one simple technique, plus it will win you a ton of brownie points with brokers if it's a listed property. So as soon as you finish listening to this podcast I want you to create your follow up plan or system on how you plan to stay in touch with brokers or sellers who have declined your initial offer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> </span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14.95pt; font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to </span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">www.KevinBupp.com/guide</a></span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: blue; background: #F3F3F5;">https://w

Ep #72: Expert Advice from Multifamily Owner & Property Manager - Mike Sherwood
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we're going to speaking with multifamily investment and property management expert, Mike Sherwood. Mike began his real estate investing career in 2007 like many of us do, which was by purchasing a small multifamily property to get his feet wet. He bought this investment with the intention of living in one side and renting out the other which proved to be a very profitable approach for his first deal. This initial exposure to the world of real estate investing was all Mike needed to know confirm that he had found his calling as a real estate investor</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Fast forward a few years and Mike quickly jumped with both feet into the business by starting a full service property management company, fixing and flipping properties, running a local real estate investment club, as well as building his own multifamily real estate portfolio. And get this, this was all while working a full-time job.</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 Mike today:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he built his multifamily portfolio and property management company while working full-time</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The challenges with financing 5+ unit multifamily deals and why starting with a 4 unit or smaller might be easier for the first-time investor</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he found his first money partner and how this relationship has spawned into a long term business partnership</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The importance of building relationships with local banks and financing institutions</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he's finding most deals on the MLS</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he's dealing with a highly competitive marketplace</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What he likes about Buffalo and why he says that it's a great place for investors who like cash flow</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How forming a property management company has helped fund their real estate activities and also provides them access to off market deals</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What the overall infrastructure of his property management company looks like and how he uses technology to help hold it all together</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he’s been able to grow his business remotely from 700 miles away</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What he would change about his real estate business if he could go back and start all over again.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And much more</span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; 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: #111111; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; 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: #111111; font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat:

Cash Flow Friday Tip #20: Figuring out your "WHY" and how to use it to grow your RE business
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip we're going to talk about the importance if figuring out your WHY, and what I mean by this is what are the reasons you want to be a real estate investor. This is an extremely important exercise and is one that I suggest every investor, both new and seasoned, do in order to create a roadmap for their investing career. This is an exercise which I learned from Jeremy Cyrier who was a past guest on our show and is a very successful real estate broker, trainer, and investor. I went through this exercise when I was first introduced to Jeremy and it's had a significant impact on my overall focus as a real estate investor.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">For example, my WHY is the following: Spending as much time as possible with my family is priceless because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow and commercial real estate investing provides the vehicle that can generate enough passive income for my family and I to live the lifestyle that we choose and spend the maximum amount of time together traveling the world and experiencing all life has to offer. I will make this a reality by focusing solely on acquiring a significant portfolio of mobile home parks and apartment buildings which can produce a yearly passive net income stream of at least 500k. Based on my calculations this should take approximately 1000-1500 rentable units to achieve my investment goals.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">So there you have it, in a nutshell that is my WHY and this is what I work towards every day. You can develop your own why by answering these following 5 questions and then forming them into one continuous statement. I suggest that once you have your WHY statement completed that you review and tweak on a regular basis and have it in plain sight for all to see. I also suggest that you share it with your family and friends and anyone else who you feel might help hold you accountable to this mission. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">5 questions:</span></p> <ol> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Briefly describe what it is you want to do: For example: I want to own 4 apartment buildings in Southwest Florida totaling 500+ doors which produce in excess of 250k in passive income each year.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now describe how you will do it. For example: I will do this by building a relationship with every apartment broker in SW Florida and by sending direct mail to all buildings that meet my general criteria</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Describe why you want to do it. I believe that owning 500+ doors in SW Florida will afford my wife and I the luxury to quit our full-time jobs and travel the world with our 2 kids. Owning 500+ doors will also provide a much more secure retirement plan for our family and will allow us to send our kids to the colleges of their choice.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why do you want this for yourself? Example: Because my family is my world and I want to opportunity to spend every available minute with them and owning 500+ doors will provide me with that time.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What are some other reasons you want this? Example: Because I believe that you should enjoy what you do and both my wife and I are unhappy in our current careers . Real estate can be our escape and can offer the enjoyable career path that we both see

Cash Flow Friday Tip #19: Why CAP rate isn't king and can sometimes be misleading
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip we're going to talk CAP rates and why you as an investor need not to get too hung up on this arbitrary number when looking at deals...especially value-add deals. This topic comes as a direct result of a deal our company has been pursuing now for the past few weeks and just got an accepted offer on. I'm going to provide the background of the story regarding this specific deal so you can fully understand why if you were only searching for deals based on a specific cap rate you probably would have passed on this property and you wouldn't be alone because I'm sure there are many others who passed on this deal I'm about to tell you about in today's show.</span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Also, I wanted to give a shout out again to Marco Santarelli from Norada Real Estate Investments for his contribution to the topic we covered in last week's cash flow Friday tip #18.

Ep #69: How to capitalize on the wave of distressed CMBS loan maturities - with Salvatore Buscemi
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we're going to speaking with real estate and investment expert, Salvatore Buscemi. The topic of discussion for today's show is regarding the wave of CMBS loan maturities that are taking place right now and will continue over the coming years and how we as investors can find opportunity in these distressed commercial assets. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To provide you a clearer picture of why this represents an exciting opportunity, these CMBS loans are typically 10 year terms which means most of these loans coming due were originated during the peak real estate markets of 2005-2008 before the financial crash of 2008 and majority of them were very high leverage loans (as high as 90% LTV) and a large quantity were interest only terms which means they're are upside down in value and would require a large amount of cash from the borrower in order to get out from underneath it. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sal also is giving a free copy of his book "making the yield" to the first 20 listeners who go to the website and register <a href="http://www.MakingTheYield.com" target="_blank">www.MakingTheYield.com</a></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 Sal today:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why CMBS loan maturities represent a great opportunity in the coming years for investors</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What Sal and his team are doing to prepare for capitalizing on these distressed deals</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How to track down these distressed notes by going direct to the lenders</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why he feels that CMBS loans between $2 million & $30 represent the best opportunities for the small to mid-size non-institutional investors</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The reason he is focusing on secondary and tertiary markets</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why it's not as simple as just restructuring these loans similar to what would happen with a portfolio loan</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why he feels the sweet spot for banks that are holding these types of distressed assets are the ones that have between $2 & $5 billion in assets and why that's the niche you need to focus on.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The person we need to speak with at the bank in order to gain access to these distressed deals.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why he feels that there are many markets that are already overheated which will ultimately represent a correction sometime in the coming years and why we need to be cautious as investors</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And much more</span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; 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: #111111; font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to </span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a

His young interest in real estate stemmed from a fear of his dad running out of work and not being able to provide for his family and David knew that creating a perpetual income stream through real estate could ease that fear, but his father thought otherwise. His father thought tenants were nothing more than headaches and he wanted no part of it</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom: 12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fast forward a number of years and David went on to build a multi-million dollar contracting firm, has built or renovated more than 250 homes, built 100 condo units, built more than 5 million sq ft of commercial and office space and has built quite the impressive rental portfolio.

Cash Flow Friday Tip #16: The secret for finding Self Directed IRA money for your next deal.
<p style="margin-bottom: 1.3em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'm going to share with you an easy method for finding individuals with Self Directed IRA's who can make ideal candidates for becoming an active investor or private lender for your next deal. Unfortunately, we can't just go and purchase a list of names and mailing addresses from a list broker for these individuals who have self directed IRA's as that would be too easy and everyone would be doing it already. What we can do though is use this little secret method that I'm going to teach you in today's show to find those who have self directed IRA's and who are already actively buying or lending on real estate using their IRA which means they already know the benefits and are essentially semi-warm leads or prospects. What does all of this mean for you? Well, this means you'll be able to directly target millions of dollars of self directed IRA funds which can act as an excellent source of capital for your RE deals.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1.3em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So, in today's show, I'll break down this process for you into 4 simple steps.

The benefits I'm about to discuss should be used in your negotiations when trying to pitch the idea to the seller or to the broker representing the seller.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">Here is what I feel are the top 6 benefits of owner financing for you the buyer:</span></p> <ol> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Non-recourse debt and does not appear on your credit</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">No credit checks required (most of the time)</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ease and quickness of financing </span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">No need to prove existing track record</span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Flexibility to structure creative terms including interest rates, amortization term, down payment amount, etc.</span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The ability to purchase un-financeable deals.

Now I will say this, most of the time an owner won't just come out and say that they'll do seller financing and I don't suggest you even bring it up during your first meeting with them. In fact, most of the time you'll need to establish a rapport with the sellers before they'll ever consider it, so be sure to be delicate with how you

Cash Flow Friday Tip #11: How to correctly evaluate a prospective tenants background and credit history
<p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'd like to talk about how to effectively dissect and read through a credit report when evaluating prospective tenants.

Cash Flow Friday Tip #9: Fast Track the growth of your RE business by hiring a VA
<p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'd like to talk about using VA's or virtual assistants to help grow your real estate business by allowing you to delegate the busy work so you can focus on the money making activities. Throughout the past 5 years I've employed VA's both in a full-time capacity as well as freelance work and my experience overall has been fantastic. In addition to my real estate business I own a ecommerce company where I've employed the same 3 VA's full-time for over 4 years now and it's been a wonderful relationship. These 3 VA's consist of a graphic designer, web developer, and SEO specialist and all are college educated and very good at what they do. I believe the highest paid person on that team is my web developer and she makes $550 per month (40 hours per week) which breaks down to approx $3.44 per hour and she is super happy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">I n my real estate business we have used numerous VA's throughout the years to handle mundane tasks such as data collection, cold calling, list building, appointment setting, email follow up, etc and as of today we have one girl who's been working with us for the past few months on numerous projects and she works approx 25-30 hours per week. She is working on more specific tasks like researching banks and who currently hold distressed Multi-Family notes and tracking down the inside contacts or asset managers so we can build relationships with them. She's assisting me with a few of my podcast projects that I am working on and I'll probably add a few duties to her list shortly. She's very organized and is extremely efficient and guess what, she only charges $2.93 an hour. For her same qualities here in the US I'd have to pay $12-15 per hour if not more</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">Here are some of the other things I've used VA's for in the past.

Ep #60: Police Officer turned Real Estate Investor with more than $200 million in acquisitions under his belt - with Brian Burke

One of the most impressive parts of Brian's story is how he started his professional career as a police officer and invested in real estate in his spare time. In fact, he worked a full-time job for a # of years before taking the leap of faith into becoming a full-time real estate investor. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In this show you’re going to learn:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How he was able to build a rental portfolio while working a full-time job</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The steps he took to self educate himself into becoming a real estate investor</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why he feels it's critical to prove your investment concept with your own money before taking investors capital</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Learn the different fund structures that Brian uses for his different projects</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What markets he's excited about today and why</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What his crystal ball is telling him about the next few years</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">His goal to underwrite 1 multi-family deal per day with the goal of buying 2-3 deals in 2015</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And much more..</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; 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: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 12pt;">Recommended Resources</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Download my free success guide, “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to </span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.kevinbupp.com/guide">www.KevinBupp.com/guide</a></span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Schedule a free "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link </span><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -0.25in; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: blue; background: #f3f3f5;">https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2</span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-orig

Cash Flow Friday Tip #8: Why emotions make bad business partners
<p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'd like to talk about the topic of allowing emotions to get involved when purchasing an investment property and why this can have disastrous consequences. Over the years I have seen many investors make bad decisions on real estate purchases because they let their heart do the talking and didn't focus enough on the numbers. What I mean by this is never fall in love with a building because it's got great architecture or because it's in the neighborhood you grew up in or how about a piece of raw dirt that you feel (no know) has a promising redevelopment future without knowing the facts. Try to resist this so-called "falling in love" with any given investment property because I can promise you one thing - It will never love you back.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">To make things easy you need to take a rational approach to decision making when it comes to investing in a property. And to do this you need to only figure two things</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">1. What you would like to pay for this property</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">2. What the maximum amount you should pay based on its actual performance </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">Now I know this is easier said than done and there are always going to be exceptions to the rules. For instance, I own an mixed use property that sits on a commercial lot and has an office building and a 6 unit apartment building on it. Immediately next door to my property is a rundown 4 unit property that based on its current income is worth about 80k but the owner is asking 130k. The beauty of this is that the assemblage of his lot and my own would significantly increase the value of the total package to an end user, primarily because of the redevelopment opportunities that would now exist due to the almost doubled lot size and I'm getting ready to put this property on the market so the timing is right. So the moral of the story is that if you're planning on paying top dollar for a property make sure it's a good business decision and not some sort of emotional rationalization. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">I will tell you from experience that there will always be another deal down the road so don't get hung up on one if it doesn't make sense. Invest to make money, not to fulfill your emotional obligations - that's what girlfriends or wives are for.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="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; font-size: 12pt;">Alright guys, that's all we have for today. Thanks again for listening in to the Cash Flow Friday Tip and until we meet again next week, Get out there and make some cash flow happen.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size

Ep #59: Creating Massive Cash Flow with Vacation Rentals - with Matt Landau
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our guest for this week’s show is Vacation Rental Expert, Matt Landau. Matt currently owns and operates multiple vacation rentals in Panama City, Panama and is the founder of the popular niche vacation rental website, VacationRentalMarketingBlog.com</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Matt and I had an awesome conversation regarding the vacation rental industry which has seen explosive growth over the past few years with the emergence of sites such as VRBO.com, Homeaway.com, AirBNB.com and many others. Matt talks about how he got his start in the industry and how he was able to quickly able to become known as one of the leading providers of premium vacation rentals in the historical district of Panama city, Panama. He also discusses what unique qualities attracted him to Panama City's historic district which he describes as New Orleans 100 years ago in that it's rough around the edges but is full of opportunity and is abundant with culture. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Matt believes that the Vacation Rental niche is still in its infancy and that there is a still a ton of opportunity available for those investors who are looking for an investment vehicle that offers strong returns and stable growth. Being someone that has personally used vacation rentals for multiple vacations I have to agree with him, especially if you're buying in highly desirable tourist markets. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In this show you’re going to learn:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; color: #111111;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #111111;">How he got his start in the vacation rental business</span></span></li> <li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; color: #111111;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #111111;">The important role that 3 mentors played in his life and how he found them</span></span></li> <li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; color: #111111;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #111111;">What unique attributes excited him about investing in the emerging tourist destination of Panama City, Panama</span></span></li> <li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: 14.95pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; color: #111111;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #111111;">Why he feels that the vacation rental market is still in its infancy and will continue to grow at a fast rate </span></span></li> <li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in
