Ep #48: The 5 ways to find the perfect mentor or partner for your RE business

It’s a fact that experience is by far the best teacher, but it is absolutely idiotic to go at it alone if you can find a mentor who has been there and done that to hold your hand and show you the way. My suggestion is to learn from those who do what you do (real estate investor) and who have been extremely successful. This same principal also applies to finding another investor to partner or JV with on a deal. If you can find someone who will compliment your skills and who already has a track record you’ll find that the process is much easier than working with someone who has zero experience. This week’s show will outline the methods which I have personally used in my business to find both partners and mentors and with paired with the will to succeed and some good ol’ hard work I know these methods will also yield results for you if applied correctly. In this show you’re going to learn: · How to build a database of all individuals who own the types of buildings you’d like to one day own · How to directly market to these owners through various methods · How to use Linkedin to find your ideal mentor or partner · Why you need to formulate a concise action plan - TODAY · How to use brokers to help you find and get introductions to owners and potential partners <span style="f

Ep #46: The 4 steps to Performing Successful Due Diligence on an Income Producing Commercial Property

Due to a large amount of emails over the past few months from our listeners who have had questions regarding current commercial and multi-family deals they're working on and how to effectively determine if they should move forward or pass I thought it would be appropriate to cover the topic of due diligence and it how it plays into the acquisition process and how proper due diligence can be the difference of identifying and moving forward on a great deal or being able to avoid a lemon. In being a real estate investor you must acknowledge the risks associated with purchasing income producing property; however, you must also devise a solid plan for identifying and minimizing those risks or you will be the guy that is struck with analysis paralysis that looks at everything but buys nothing. The idea of the “perfect deal” that has zero risk doesn’t exist so you might as well stop wasting your time looking for it. In fact, the more problems associated with a particular property typically result in more reward per ones efforts – I said typically but not always! We all make mistakes being a real estate investor, but if you do your homework and do a thorough job during the due diligence process then you’ll do just fine In this show today you’re going to learn: <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 18.85pt; 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;">§ What due diligence is and why it’s some important in the acquisition process <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 18.85pt; 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;">§ How to effectively evaluate your competition during the due diligence process <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 18.85pt; 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;">§ Why sellers are liars until proven otherwise and why you need to verify every possible thing <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 18.85pt; 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; backgrou

Ep #39: Building Massive Cash Flow with Raw Undeveloped Land – with Mark Podolsky

In 2001, Frontier Properties founder Mark Podolsky was an Investment banker with a crazy high-pressure lifestyle in Phoenix. Like several of his colleagues, Mark liked the idea of investing in real estate. So the next time he earned a commission check, Mark went down to a tax sale auction at the county. He ended up buying a property with a commission from a big deal… and what’s more, Mark put everything he had into buying land in New Mexico. “My wife thought I was crazy, he says, but I told her, ‘at least we own land.”Sure enough, Mark was able to sell all his New Mexico property at a profit. Even better, Mark was soon able to quit his job to go into the real estate business full-time. <p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Mark shares with us the steps he took to get to where he is today in having completed more than 5,000+ land transactions.

Ep #37: The secret behind making ultra-high returns by investing in Tax Liens Certificates and Tax Deeds - with Ross Budrakey

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #111111; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">When a property owner fails to pay the taxes on his or her property, then the city or county in which the property is located has the authority to place a lien on the property to protect their interest. A lien is a legal claim against the property for the unpaid amount that is owed; property that has a lien attached to it cannot be sold or refinanced until the back taxes are paid and the lien is removed. Ross Budrakey is a nationally recognized expert and educational trainer in the niche of investing in Tax Lien Certificates and Tax Deeds. Within a year of learning about tax liens and deeds, Ross tripled the value of his retirement account.

Ep #28: Which asset type best fits your investment style

The most successful commercial real estate investors usually specialize in one asset class and don’t try to be a “jack of all asset types”. There are 5 primary asset types which include Office, Retail, Industrial, Multi-Family, and Land. Each of these different asset types have their fair share of pro’s and con’s which we’ll go into detail on with this show.<o:p></o:p> What you’ll come to quickly realize is that when you focus in on a specific asset type, you will become an expert in how this type of property is owned and operated. Being an expert in one particular property type is much better than being mediocre in many. You’ll see that you find your most successes when you deal within one specific property type and stay laser focused.

Ep #26: The 4 steps to building massive deal flow in your RE business – Part 1

Probably one of the most common question we real estate investors (both new and experienced) want to know is; How do I find great properties and generate a steady stream of deal flow to my business in a consistent manner.<o:p></o:p> To be a successful RE investor, you need leads – a whole lot of them; in fact, the more leads you have coming in, the better chance you’ll find a great deal and succeed as a real estate investor. It’s as simple this equation; the more leads you have coming in will equate to more profitable opportunities that present themselves to you. Finding great investment properties is a numbers game and that “the quality is in the quantity.”<o:p></o:p> If you utilize the steps I discuss in this week’s show, I promise that you will find yourself in a situation where you’ll have many RE investment opportunities present themselves to you. In fact, if you do things right and follow my advice, you’ll be investing in only opportunities that meet your specific investment criteria – and will avoid the crap that doesn’t fit your target investment strategy.<o:p></o:p> In this week’s show you will learn the following:<o:p></o:p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.5in; line-height: 16.8pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">· How to identify your target investment type (location, asset class, condition, size, construction type, amenities, target returns, etc)<o:p></o:p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.5in; line-height: 16.8pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">· How to have brokers who specialize in your particular niche sending you deals (pocket listing are the best and you’ll only get these types of deals if you have a solid relationship with the broker)<o:p></o:p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: -.5in; line-height: 16.8pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">· <
