Real Estate Investor Growth Network Podcast

K-Mart Conversions Jen is a little nervous to share this episode with Clint Harris because she'd love to keep his genius strategy all to herself so SHE can snatch up her own K-Mart! In his pursuit of time and location independence, Clint has discovered an almost untapped market of converting deserted big box stores into storage units. He also dives into the importance of diversifying your portfolio, his extensive history with Airbnbs, and transitioning into the world of syndication and raising capital. Clint Harris is a professional real estate investor, entrepreneur, and handles capital raising and investor relations at Nomad Capital. He owns Going Coastal Property Management and hosts the Truly Passive Income podcast. With a background in medical sales, Clint built a lucrative multifamily real estate portfolio, converted to high-performing AirBnB properties. Frustrated with management services, he founded Going Coastal Property Management. For diversification, Clint transitioned to self-storage investments, eventually joining Nomad Capital as a general partner, buying old big box retail buildings and converting them to self-storage. Having raised capital for over $100 million in stabilized assets, his mission is to inspire financial, location, and time independence for investors.

The Dean of DSCR! Whoa! We have celebrity guest, Jeff Ball on today's episode! He, and his company Visio Lending, are the pioneers of the DSCR Loan that has changed the way investors finance their short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals. DSCR loans offer a variety of advantages over Agency (Fannie/Freddie) investment property loans and bank portfolio term loans. Here are a few: (1) qualify based on property level cash flow rather than person DTI (perfect for self-employed, or part-time employed and offers lower documentation requirements with no W-2s or tax returns required); (2) finance in a corporate entity to shield other assets; (3) only prove cash reserves on the current loan being financed; and (4) higher loan concentration limits. This is a great listen...check it out! Jeff Ball serves as the CEO of Visio Lending, the nation's leading lender for DSCR loans. He is responsible for setting Visio's overall strategy and direction. Prior to forming Visio Lending, he founded Visio's predecessor company, Econohomes. Jeff previously served as the Global Head of Semiconductor Investment Banking at JP Morgan, where his clients included some of the largest technology companies in the world, including Intel and Texas Instruments. Before JP Morgan, Jeff was a corporate securities attorney at Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich (now DLA Piper). Jeff received his JD and MBA from Santa Clara University. He received his undergraduate degree in Economics and Theology from Georgetown University.

Spit, Grit, and a Whole Lot of Tears Peter Eberhardt grew up in the far mountains of Northern California. He was always on a bike as a young kid, and at age 12 started racing BMX at his small hometown track. When Peter was 16, someone made a comment that no one from his home track would earn a national ranking and that spurred Peter to set out and put his hometown track on the map. By the time he was 19 (2015), he had achieved multiple district and state championships. However due to not having the national caliber tracks to train on and other resources, Peter struggled to make any headway on the national circuit. At 18,Peter spent every dollar to move himself down to San Diego so that he had the ability to train at the Olympic Training Center and not only on national caliber tracks, but Olympic level tracks. With the cost of living on the rise and not being able to efficiently train due to having to work so hard to make ends meet, Peter decided that he needed to buy a house to get his living costs under control. Peter drove uber for 6 months to buy his first condo at age 21. By the time Peter was 24, he finally earned a national ranking. Early on in 2020 at age 25, Peter had a lightbulb moment with his neighbors moving out, that he realized the power of real estate, and dove all in to learning about different ways of investing. About the same time, he finally accepted that he would never become who he was striving for in BMX racing, and hung up the bike for the time being to focus on other things. Late in 2021, with money saved from uber driving and taking out a HELOC on his condo, Peter purchased a central California 4plex which he then moved into for 8months to gut and renovate all 4 units mostly by himself. After that asset was fully repositioned and stabilized, Peter shifted his mind set around partnering, hired a few mentors and coaches, and is now fully invested in the multifamily space looking for his next deal.

No Meetup? No Problem! Loren Wernette's journey into the world of real estate began in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Faced with the realization that a traditional W2 job wouldn't provide the life and opportunities he aspired to offer his family, Loren embarked on a transformational path. Like many, he initially grappled with the "why not" mindset, dwelling on the barriers preventing him from achieving his real estate dreams. However, in 2021, a pivotal moment around a bonfire changed everything. A friend uttered a single sentence that ignited Loren's determination to shift his focus from "why he can't to how he can." With a newfound vision, Loren set ambitious goals: to own one property by the end of 2021, 10 doors by the close of 2022, and an impressive 100 doors within the span of a decade. He achieved his first milestone by acquiring a tri-plex through seller financing in November 2021. Over the following 15 months, his dedication led to the acquisition of 29 more properties, resulting in a portfolio of 55 doors. Loren Wernette's story is a testament to the power of determination, strategic thinking, and seizing opportunities. His remarkable journey in the real estate industry is one that promises to inspire and educate others looking to break into this dynamic field.

This episode will make you rethink everything you were taught about sales including misleading with enthusiasm. Jerry discusses how a proven sales process produces predictable results by working smarter, not harder.

Now he works as the CEO of his REI Business, but is operationally removed from the business as whole. He does a high volume of wholesale deals, which are all done virtually. Jerry now spends his time helping others learn the REI Business.

Zero to 100 Million in 4 Years We have the better looking twin, Will Matheson on the show today! This young, 31 year old is killing it in the multi-family realm by starting small and short-term holds. He shares his top three reasons why starting small benefitted his company. Will also goes into five things NOT to do when buying multi-family properties. If breaking into the multi-family market is your jam, this is a great episode for you! At the end of 2017, Will Matheson and his twin brother Evan were a few months away from graduating Columbia University's Masters in Real Estate Development program, and they were faced with a choice; go the traditional corporate route or start their own company. Despite having no track record, no ownership experience, and very little equity, they bet on themselves and opted to start their own company, Matheson Capital. By January of 2018, they had already completed their first acquisition, an $800k duplex in Los Angeles. With limited resources, Matheson Capital focused on smaller value-add properties and short- term holds. In the five years since their first purchase, they have completed another dozen multifamily / student housing acquisitions valued at over $100 million. They have worked with high net worth investors, family offices, private equity groups, and Wall Street firms, delivering an average investor IRR of 40% on their six completed projects.

If you struggle with clear communication with your contractors and want to avoid possible disasters, this is the episode for you! Phil is launching a new program called, "Virtual Project Management" that is a "done-by-us" team collaboration. If you are tech savvy and coachable, Phil is your man! What are you waiting for? Hit play! Phil Tudor has a very extensive background and upbringing in the construction industry from the mentoring and guidance of his father who ran a construction company for 30+ years, and is now a building inspector.

Phil started by doing property preservation work for Fannie Mae REO properties which included removing debris, general maintenance, small repairs, and winterizing properties.

That new real estate company went on to partner with Anchored Homes and help do 40+ flips, and 40+ rentals within 2 years.

Back in 2001 Tom was broke as a joke. A near-death experience while whitewater rafting pushed him to find a new way to break free of his 9-to-5 job. His first "deal" almost took him under as well, but real estate investing saved him in the end. Both personally and financially. Hundreds of deals later, he is happy to share the same negotiation, marketing and business techniques that set him free, so you can do the same. Simple, structured, and step-by-step. Techniques that take you from spinning your wheels to doing profitable deals. Investors of all levels struggle with their businesses. Newbies want to get started, but often keep hitting the wall of confusion and spinning their wheels. Intermediate and advanced investors often find that they made a wrong turn and built a business they aren't actually happy with, but don't know how to fix and re-engineer it. Tom works with real estate investors of all levels to get their business built (or re-built) correctly, so that their personal goals and lifestyle stays at the center of everything they do, giving them more money, more time and more freedom to spend as they please. It is amazing what a few tweaks to the core elements of your business can do for you. Tom teaches investors how to identify and implement those core elements. https://tomzeeb.com/trifectahttps://tomzeeb.com/dealflow Social Media Links: https://www.facebook.com/TomZeeb https://www.youtube.com/TractionRealEstateMentors https://www.instagram.com/tomzeebtraction https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaszeeb https://twitter.com/tomzeeb Website: https://tomzeeb.com To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com To join HomeSchooled by Tarek, visit https://go.homeschooled.co/schedule-strategy-session?el=jenjosey

Successful Subject To We have Badass, Maria Acosta back on the show to discuss one of her Subject To deals. A successful Subject To deal has many moving parts and Maria breaks it down from start to finish! She goes into detail on what would make the perfect situation for a Subject To, how to protect yourself from a possible due on sale clause, and the use of a Land Trust. If you know someone that is facing foreclosure, Subject To may be the best solution for you AND the seller! Maria Acosta is a full time Real Estate Investor in the DFW area and she fix and flips houses all over north texas. In addition to flipping houses , she has built a rental portfolio of over 20 units across the states of TX, OH and MI. Maria was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the United States with her family when she was just 4 years old. She lived in Cleveland, OH for 1 year before her family decided to move to NY. Maria came from very humble beginnings and as a kid, her parents both worked at McDonalds to put food on the table, her father would sell clothes out of the trunk of his car and she and her younger brother would go and clean houses and doctor offices with their mom during nights and weekends. Growing up, Maria was always told that she needed to go to school, get good grades, so she could get a good job. Maria graduated High School and she went to Bryant University in RI where she studied Accounting and Finance and later got her masters degree in Financial Planning from Bentley University in MA. After school, she got a job and was hired by a financial services company in July of 2010 and she started taking inbound calls talking to Financial advisors about mutual funds. After a few years of inbound calls, she transitioned to doing outbound calls and had her own territory that she covered. She had made it! She had finished school and got that good job that she was always told to get but she wanted more. After watching numerous shows and seasons of various flipping shows on HGTV, Maria became infatuated with Real Estate and wanted to learn how she could fix and flip houses. She had one of her favorite show hosts that was going to be putting on a free seminar in the DFW area on flipping houses so she attended the seminar. The free seminar turned into a second session and then a 3 rd session where she ended up investing over $40,000 into her Real Estate education. She completed the program in October of 2014 and after charging all of these fees on credit cards, she pushed herself to get her first flip and bought her first house in February of 2015 where she went on to sell it and made over $15,000. Since 2015, she has completed over 40 Real Estate transactions including fix and flips, rentals and wholesales – all part time around her full time job. Maria went on to quit her full time job on November 24 th of 2021 and has been doing Real Estate full time ever since. Maria and her team are dedicated to helping homeowners that are in distress and helping to bring them solutions. They work with homeowners in various situations such as those wanting to sell due to dealing with problem tenants, unwanted inherited properties, properties where homeowners can no longer afford to pay the taxes, keep up with the maintenance, those looking to downsize, those that are relocating and need to sell quickly and one of the biggest areas they help homeowners facing foreclosure. They will assist them in explaining the options their lenders don't want to take the time to explain in how they can save their homes from auction or if they are looking to sell before their auction date, they are prepared to move quickly and help with that route as well. Maria loves talking Real Estate and loves helping others. Since Maria graduated college, she's been donating every year to her High School's Academy of Finance program where funds are raised annually to give the graduating seniors scholarships for college. In the program, students learn the basics of managing their money and more advanced accounting and finance strategies. This is where Maria gained her love for numbers and finance. She is eternally grateful for everything this program has taught her and she wishes nothing more than for all students to learn the basics of managing their money so less people would be put in difficult financial situations because they didn't know how to manage their money. In her spare time, Maria loves playing basketball and shes played rugby since 06'. She is a very competitive person and always gives her heart to everything she does. Maria's parents are still living in New York and her 2 younger brothers both live in Orlando, FL. https://www.themariaacosta.com/rea-program To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com To join HomeSchooled by Tarek, visit https://go.homeschooled.co/schedule-strategy-session?el=jenjosey

Building the Airplane as it Flies If you are full of excuses for why your real estate business hasn't taken off yet, this is the episode for you! We have Devon Smith, a total badass, on today's show. She is a single mom, adjusting gracefully from a recent divorce, lives in an area of the US where hard money lenders are basically non-existent, had her gall bladder removed, living in one of her flips during renovation, and suffered a concussion all while running a fair and honest business. Did I mention she also got her general contractor's license during all of this?? Devon is sharing her first flip that she found with zero marketing dollars, funded by her fantasy football friends, and that fell out of contract two times before settling on the perfect buyer. This episode is longer than most but full of laughs and oozing with inspiration for any of you out there feeling stuck. You don't want to miss it! Devon's words: I started my real estate journey back in 2021 when I was a high school teacher in Washington State. It was during the middle of the pandemic and I was teaching first virtually, then with half the kids in the classroom and half on zoom, then all of the kids with masks, and I was ready for something different. My now ex-husband and I had wanted to buy rentals for a while, so I started learning as much as I could about real estate investing. I got hooked. However, I have ADHD, so everything looked amazing and I knew I needed a mentor to help guide me. My son and I watched Flip or Flop a lot, and a Facebook ad for Homeschooled by Tarek popped up, and my son told me I had attend the session. I have been in that program since July of 2021. The next month, we moved back to our home state of South Dakota, and I have since done 7 investment transactions, all profitable! In that same time period, my ex and I built a brand new house, then separated 5 months later, I had to put down my dog of 14 years, I lived in one of my rehabs while it was under construction, I became a licensed general contractor and a board member of the South Dakota Real Estate Investment Association, I finalized my divorce, I got a concussion while working on a property, had gallbladder surgery after 2 trips to the ER, attended 2 live events hosted by Tarek , and have never been happier. I am a single mom of 2 beautiful kids, Teagan (5 on Monday) and Archer (9). And we adopted a cat named Duncan. They are definitely one of my WHYs; not so much the cat, but my kids for sure :) Social Media Links:Facebook & IG: @devonlynnsmith Website: www.spruceprops.com To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com To join HomeSchooled by Tarek, visit https://go.homeschooled.co/schedule-strategy-session?el=jenjosey
