I have a confession to make, I have never personally flipped a home. And to be clear, what I mean by that is that I have never bought a property just to renovate it and put it back on the market. I have built homes to sell them retail - and I have renovated and also built homes to put on the rental market. So what am I missing by not flipping? In this episode you'll hear from James Dainard who has flipped over 3,500 properties since 2005. He's also held some of those properties as rentals, as he currently owns over 1,000 rental doors in the Pacific Northwest. James is a Managing Partner at the Heaton Dainard Real Estate brokerage and is featured on BiggerPockets as a co-host for their On the Market podcast. He also has a new book called "House Flipping Framework" which can teach you more about his house flipping strategy. Another book you should have on your audio shelf is our new audiobook: "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business." My husband Rich and I co-wrote the book based on our 20 years of experience growing our company RealWealth. Please don't forget to hit the subscribe button for this podcast!

If you've already bought your first investment property, you may recall the initial fear you had about managing it. And that was just one property. But many investors find out it's not that tricky, and quickly scale up once they've completed their first deal. It can become addicting to feel the success of multiple deals that help you create financial independence. We're reposting an amazing and inspiring interview from someone who has done just that! Elaine Stageberg met her Fannie/Freddie 10-loan limit but figured out how to get financing for many more properties. She now owns more than 200 single-family rentals with her husband Nick, and other properties as joint ventures or within privately equity funds. Find out how she did it in this interview! And when you're done hearing about Elaine's success, check out our new audio book "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business." We share several success stories, including Elaine's, that can help you grow your own business. My husband Rich and I co-authored the book based on our more than 20 years of experience building our real estate investing company RealWealth. Elaine is a psychiatrist, a mother of four, and the owner of a private equity firm. She reached financial freedom at age 30, and currently manages a portfolio of over one-thousand doors worth more than $300 million. She lives in Rochester, Minnesota, with her husband and four young children. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review! Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone! It's your LAST CHANCE to REGISTER for the SAN ANTONIO TOUR this weekend, November 2nd! Please join us for a fun time! 🏡👇 https://realwealth.com/tours/ This episode is part of our "Jumpstart Your Portfolio" series for both experienced investors and newcomers who'd like to use the equity they already have to buy investment property. That could be from rental properties you already own or even your own home. You could do a cash-out refi to get your hands on that equity, but if you have one of those super low mortgage rates, you might not want to give that up. So what's the best way to put your equity to work? In this episode, you'll hear from mortgage lender and real estate investor Richard Advani who has more than 16 years in the mortgage industry. He's a lender at GuaranteedRate.com and specializes in helping investors. For many, that means finding a way to access equity and knowing which instrument is most cost effective. That might include home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs, the 1031 exchange, or even a cash-out refi, if that makes sense. Richard has plenty of personal experience as an investor. He's accumulated almost 20 rental properties in markets across the country. And when he's not busy with real estate, he brings his enthusiasm to the race track as a professional race car driver with the Formula Drift organization. Thanks for listening, Kathy Fettke!

What's going on in the current short-term rental market? Does it still make sense? And if it does, how do you choose the right market and the right property in a specific market? Our guest today on the Real Wealth Show, Avery Carl, will answer those questions and others as she delves into an asset class that can be unpredictable, but very lucrative. She'll address how short-term rentals have evolved, where she likes to invest, how to deal with market saturation, what options you have for management, a few tax benefits, and how STRs compare to long-term rentals. Avery went from a $37,000 a year salary to a real estate portfolio of over 220 doors in just five years. That's given her some valuable experience with this asset class. She is also the author of Amazon bestseller: "Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth" and the host of "The Short Term Show" podcast. We offer property tours in markets that have proven worthy for our investors. And this November 2nd, we'll be hosting one in San Antonio, Texas. We'll be touring finished homes and presenting a new syndicated investment offering for a build-to-rent community. You can sign up for that or any of our other tours at realwealthshow.com, under the Connect tab. We'd love to see you there!

While there's no guarantee that properties will increase in value, historically they have over time -- especially in high growth areas of the nation. But if you want faster appreciation, you have to create it. Real estate investors "force" appreciation by increasing the value of a property through updates, renovations, or development. In this episode, my guest Victor Menasce, shares how he forces appreciation on his properties. And he says it all starts with the right mindset. Victor is a senior partner at Y Street Capital, the President of the Ottawa Real Estate investing Organization, and the host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He's also the author of "Magnetic Capital."

Do you have a rich brain? If you don't, you might not have a rich wallet either! It takes a certain mindset to be successful in business, and that includes real estate. If you don't have the right mind-money relationship, you may find yourself sabotaging your wealth-building efforts not just once, but over and over again. In this episode, you'll hear from Bronson Hill. He's a managing member at Bronson Equity and a general partner in more than 2000 multifamily units worth more than $200 million. He's also the host of The Mailbox Money Show, has spoken with more than 1500 investors, and has raised more than $40 million for his Real Estate and ATM Machine Fund deals. Bronson authored the besting-selling book, "Fire Yourself: Replace Your Working Income with Passive Income in 3 Years or Less" and a new book that's about to be released called "Rich Brain." Bronson loves to travel and has visited more than 30 countries. He's also a lifelong learner who loves to read and a singer/songwriter who's composed over 75 songs that he occasionally performs in the Los Angeles area. He likes to keep fit and runs every day, and hopes to help end modern day human slavery as a partner with the Dressember organization. Of course, he's able to do all this because he earns passive income from his real estate business. He says on his website: "I believe the goal of generating wealth is not swimming in piles of cash, but in allowing people to more effectively fulfill their purpose in life."

How do you build a real estate portfolio when you already have a busy career that takes up most of your time? Former NFL star, Devon Kennard, can tell you exactly what it takes to do that. Devon played for the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions before he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. As a pro football player, he knew his career wouldn't last forever so he carved out just five hours a week to work on his real estate side hustle and turn it into a cash-flowing portfolio that would maintain his lifestyle after football. In today's episode, you'll hear the kind of discipline and dedication it took to put his plan into action, how he's created financial stability with four passive-income investing strategies, the mindset he needed to turn a side-hustle into a financial game plan, and how his efforts have turned out for him and his family. He's also passionate about sharing what he's learned and has written two books to help other people find financial freedom – "It All Adds Up: Designing Your Game Plan for Success" and his newly released "Real Estate Side Hustle: Four Passive Investing Strategies to Build Wealth Beyond Your Day Job." And he says you don't need a football player's paycheck to do what he has done. You can also learn how to strategically build a self-managing business that's profitable by reading our new book, "Scaling Smart." My husband Rich and I co-authored the book, which just went on sale September 10th. Bigger Pockets asked us to write it based on our decades of combined experience with our real estate investing company RealWealth. You'll find "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business" on Amazon or click on the link in the show notes below!

Have you gotten a little dizzy trying to figure out today's multifamily market? Investors have faced significant challenges. In addition to loans that need refinancing at higher rates and higher costs for things like property insurance and real estate taxes, rents have been softening or even reversing because of a massive increase in supply. That's not an easy problem to overcome for many multi-family property owners. In today's episode, you'll hear from the president of Break of Day Capital, Gary Lipsky. He'll be talking about how investors and syndicators are dealing with challenges like the cost of property management, maintenance, and renovations, what investors should be aware of as they buy into syndication deals and whether lower values are creating opportunities by offsetting higher costs. Gary has more than 20 years of experience in the real estate industry that includes the founding of a multifamily syndication business with more than 3,200 apartment units. He's the author of "Best in Class" and his newly released "Invest Smart: Spotting Red Flags in Real Estate Syndications," the founder of Asset Management Summit, and the host of the Real Estate Investor Podcast. You can find out more about his books at Amazon, along with our new book, "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business." They are both at Amazon. "Scaling Smart" went on sale September 10th. My co-author husband, Rich, and I will be hosting a virtual launch party on September 21st, with special guests that are mentioned in the book and plenty of time to answer your questions.

We are counting down the days until the release of our new book, "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business." My husband Rich and I co-authored the book to share what we have learned about business strategy as the co-founders of real estate investing company, RealWealth. In this episode, we talk about some of those strategies with a woman we mention in the book – entrepreneur, real estate investor, and venture capitalist, Lisa Song Sutton. Before she launched and scaled several companies in various industries including real estate, she was a former litigation attorney in Las Vegas and a former Miss Nevada. She is currently a General Partner for a $20 million venture capital fund called The Veteran Fund which invests in veteran-led companies. You'll hear about some of the key concepts we focus on in our book and the real life experiences that have helped all three of us get clear on our life and business goals. Among the key concepts in this interview: how you choose the right business for profit, impact, and purpose, how you find a partner that shares your vision, how you can deal with shifting priorities, how to make it happen as a husband and wife team, and much much more! We did this interview during the 2024 Limitless Financial Freedom Expo in Dallas where we were also celebrating the release of our new book (September 10th). Bigger Pockets asked us to write the book based on Rich's 20 years of experience as a business coach and our combined 40 years of experience creating and scaling our own company. We'll also be holding a book launch party on September 8th at a climbing gym in Denver, but if you miss that, you can join us for a virtual event on September 21st. It's free to participate.

Should you hold on to that long-time rental or trade it in for something else? Many people say you should hold forever, but is that always the best way to go? In this episode, you'll hear when it might make sense to break that rule for the sake of better cash flow or better appreciation. We call this process "portfolio rebalancing." Among the topics we discuss are property performance reviews, portfolio diversification and risk management, the 1031 exchange, investing at different life stages, and when it might be best to sell or to hold on to your investment properties for the long-term. Joining me to discuss your options are two of our experienced and long-time RealWealth investment counselors, Joe Torre and Aristotle Kumpis. They are active investors who have been advising RealWealth investors for many years. Joe began investing in real estate in 2004 and has a track record of success in both up and down markets. Before he came on board with RealWealth he worked as a data analyst for tech companies in Silicon Valley and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has an MBA in Finance from Columbia University Business School in New York. He enjoys helping people create generational wealth. Aristotle got his real estate license in 2007 and has been helping investors find cash-flowing rental properties since then. He was inspired by his parents who owned rental properties in St. Louis, where he grew up. He attended the University of Missouri in Saint Louis and moved to Southern California in 2002. He also likes to write music and spend time outdoors, especially with his family. During the interview, we mentioned a recent webinar on real estate lending with Richard Advani of Guaranteed Rate.

Are you familiar with the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad? How about the investing game Cashflow Quadrant? If you know about either of these, you're probably also familiar with the legendary Robert Kiyosaki who wrote the book and created the game to teach people about wealth creation and real estate investing. He was on our show many years ago at the very beginning of our podcast. Now, as we celebrate our 1,000th episode, he's come back on to our show to talk about the importance of financial literacy and the building of wealth through the responsible use of debt. He also discusses the transition from smaller deals to bigger ones for bigger financial results. Kiyosaki encourages people to expand their financial horizons by attending events like the upcoming Limitless Expo. He will be a featured speaker at the event along with dozens of other entrepreneurs, investors, and educators. My husband Rich and I are among those participating and presenting at this Expo! So please join us! The Expo is taking place from August 29th through the 31st in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine. You'll find information here.

Have you ever felt I coulda, woulda, shoulda bought some rental properties after the 2008 housing collapse? Prices were so low it was like getting a 75% discount in many cases! But it's always easier to see what you should've done instead of what you might want to do right now. The truth is that when you're in it, you can't see it as clearly. So what are the signs you should look for to recognize those opportunities happening right now, and follow up with smart, timely decisions? In this episode, you'll hear from Brenda Coleman who's our latest Real Wealth Story guest. She's been investing for 17 years and got her start in 2009 when other potential investors were in panic mode. How did she know it was a good time to buy? And what's she looking for today? She'll answer those questions and share a mindset about real estate that has worked for her over the years. Brenda's first property was the building of a spec home in Oregon with her husband in 2006. Since then, she's built more spec homes, done some flips, invested in land, and bought some buy-and-hold properties. She currently owns investment property in 14 states and has replaced her income as a social worker with cash flow from her investments. If you would like more information on some of the hot markets Brenda discussed, such as Charlotte, San Antonio, and North Dallas, go to realwealthshow.com and sign up for a free membership.

*This is a re-posting of a previous interview with Zeona Macintyre on the topic of medium-term rentals.* If long-term rentals aren't giving you enough cash flow, and short-term rentals seem like too much trouble, there IS a third option. By renting your property as a furnished home for 30-days or more, you can increase your cash flow, avoid local short-term regulations and occupancy tax, simplify your bookkeeping, and use your property as a guest home when it's not rented. It's a niche that seems to be growing in popularity and is known as medium-term rentals. In this episode, you'll hear from Zeona McIntyre who's been an Airbnb host since 2012, and is now pivoting into medium-term rentals. She co-authored a book on the topic called: "30 Day Stay: An investor's guide to Mastering the Medium-Term Rental" and is co-host of a podcast called: "Invest2fi." She is also a RealWealth investor and will share her experience in this interview! Zeona spends half the year in Boulder, Colorado and the other half traveling the world as an international pet and house sitter.

Have you ever wondered how long a buy-and-hold strategy should last? Forever? Or, at some point, is it appropriate to sell? It's a decision that most investors have at least thought about. Personally, my husband Rich and I have sold and later regretted it because our properties shot up in value after we let them go. But we've also had better luck in that regard, and couldn't be happier with the outcome. In this episode, you'll hear from someone with great insights into the idea of "portfolio rebalancing." That's when it makes more sense to sell a property and use the money to reinvest in something else that will be more profitable. Our guest is a Dallas area native with a proven track and a $40 million portfolio to show for her effort. She's also our amazing Dallas property team leader and can share many insights about the Dallas market and how you can make it work for you! This is a great interview for investors wanting to know more about the options, such as the 1031 exchange. You can also find out more about Dallas as a RealWealth member. Sign up for free below and then look for our Dallas property team page. And please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave us a review if you like what you hear, we really appreciate it! (Side Note: You can also join our guest for a deeper dive into the Dallas market.

This is the first of our new "Jumpstart Your Wealth" series to help first-time home buyers and investors jumpstart their real estate experience. And the first topic we'd like to address is "Getting Out of Debt." We had an amazing husband-and-wife team on the show last year to talk about their efforts to eliminate debt and get into real estate, so we're reposting that interview as the first Jumpstart episode. Meet Ali & Josh Lupo, better known as "The FI Couple." The FI stands for "financial independence" which they have now obtained. But in this interview you'll hear what they were up against and how they restructured their financial world to fix that problem and gain financial independence. If you listened to it before, it's worth listening to again! It's THAT good! Ali & Josh talk about their humble beginnings as college students pursuing degrees in social service and a wedding that provided a big wake-up call about their finances. It was bad. They had a whole lot of debt and knew they had to do something about it. You'll get all the details in this interview along with another important part of their strategy – to make sure they have a shared vision and goals. You may have seen them on social media. They love to share their experiences on Instagram as The FI Couple and have amassed a huge following. Once you are enchanted by them in this interview, you can find out more at their website www.theficouple.com or @theficouple on Instagram. My hubby and partner, Rich Fettke, is co-host in this episode. He is a long-time coach who loves to help people realize their dreams and live their best lives. He recently published a book called "The Wise Investor" that also offers lessons about money management and financial freedom. Check it out at Amazon! Thanks for listening!

The real estate business is not entirely about the housing market. In this episode, we talk about industrial real estate, oil and gas, bringing US companies back home, or what's known as "reshoring," and of course, the housing market. But the conversation goes beyond that with talk of economic trends, investment strategies, and our recent RealWealth property tour in San Antonio where investors can get a 4.25% interest rate from the builder. In this episode, you'll hear from investor and commercial lender Ben Fraser. He has more than a decade of experience in the mortgage business and is the Chief Investment Officer at Aspen Funds, which was co-founded by his father. Before that, Ben served as a commercial lender at First Business Bank and a commercial credit underwriter for Crossfirst Bank. He's also a seasoned podcaster, and co-hosts the show "Invest Like a Billionaire" with his Dad and his Dad's Aspen co-founder. ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal 👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals ~~~~ FREE RealWealth EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Kathy: @kathyfettke or https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/

It's not easy to find a good investment property in today's market. Prices and mortgage rates are high, and it can be really difficult to make the numbers work. As a lifelong Californian, Kathy has learned this lesson. It's just too expensive in California to invest here. So 20 years ago, she started looking in other states and had to evaluate realtors, property managers, renovation teams, and others. With the experience she gained, she launched RealWealth with her husband, Rich, to help other investors find rental properties, and they now have great systems in place to find the best property teams in strong but affordable growth markets. As a more recent addition to the RealWealth crew is a husband-and-wife team who are experienced investors themselves, and are now traveling the country in an RV to vet property teams for our RealWealth investors. Rebekah and Grant have bought, sold and 1031 exchanged all kinds of real estate including single family rentals, short-term rentals, and fix-and-flips. Rebekah was also a real estate agent with her own brokerage, specializing in helping investors buy and sell their properties. Grant bought his first home in college and rented out rooms to friends. Since then, he's bought many rental properties using the BRRRR method which stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat. In this episode, you'll hear about our vetting process, the standards we've set for renovations and property management, how builders are giving our investors great deals on properties and loans, and how we maintain that level of quality with our property teams. You'll even hear about Grant and Rebekah's unique work/travel situation, and about Chattanooga as one of our newest markets, although it's still in the vetting process so it's not yet on our website. If you are a RealWealth member, speak with your RealWealth investment counselor for more information. Until we've finished the vetting process, we are recommending Chattanooga for experienced investors only. If you'd like to find out more about the teams that we have vetted at RealWealth, go to realwealthshow.com. It's free to join and talk to an investment counselor. ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal 👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals ~~~~ FREE RealWealth EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Kathy: @kathyfettke or https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/

How do large corporations decide what part of the country they should move to or build new facilities? It's much more than a random recommendation, a sale price, or a gut feeling. They do in-depth studies and often hire expensive consultants because it's a huge investment and they don't want to get it wrong. In this episode, you'll hear from site selection consultant, John Boyd Jr., who has his finger on development across the nation. John will talk about the site selection process, the exodus from California and where companies are going, challenges in choosing the right location, industries that are driving growth in various parts of the country, and the impact of climate change. He'll also share some information on a few of the hottest growth markets in the nation today, including an area near San Antonio, Texas. John is at The Boyd Company out of Princeton, New Jersey. It's one of the most trusted and well-known corporate site selection firms in the nation with clients like Boeing, Chevron, Pratt & Whitney, PepsiCo, Visa International, Shell, Honda Motor Company, Hewlett-Packard, and JP Morgan Chase. John is often invited to speak at conferences and is routinely featured in the global news media to talk about corporate site selection, economic development and the real estate industry.

One of the most compelling reasons for owning investment property is the huge amount of money you can save on taxes. So it's extremely important to understand the kind of tax benefits and deductions available to you. In this interview, you will hear about cost segregation studies and how they can help you depreciate different components of your properties more quickly. There's also a bonus depreciation that can amplify those savings, a short-term rental loophole, and how much it might cost to get one of these studies done. Our guest is a new partner with RealWealth to help our members with cost segregation studies. He has experience in tech leadership roles, business development for fintech companies, and online lending. He's also a real estate investor with a BA in International Business from Texas State University. You can find out more about our guest and cost segregation on our website. Just log in to the investor portal as a free RealWealth member and look under resources.

If you haven't considered the impact of climate-related natural disasters on your real estate decisions, you'll get valuable insights from this episode. Call it climate change or climate risk or simply a natural climate cycle that we're going through – whatever side you are on – there are an increasing number of risks related to our environment that are having an impact on real estate. In this interview, you'll hear from Dr. Howard Botts who is the chief scientist and executive director of the science and analytics team for real estate data firm CoreLogic. With 30+ years experience in geo-spatial modeling, he's a recognized expert on natural hazard risk solutions. He speaks frequently on climate change impacts to the real estate ecosystem, and he says there's great reason to be concerned. He'll discuss climate change vs climate risk and the impact on real estate. That includes tangible impacts on real estate, property insurance challenges that we're seeing across the country, strategies for getting insurance and managing your properties, how the government and communities are responding, and what individuals can do to protect themselves. Real estate investors will find that the rental property markets RealWealth is focused on are not in the high-risk areas mentioned by our guest.

The jobs report for May was a surprise to the upside, with 272,000 new jobs. Wage growth also came in hotter than expected. Good news, right? But maybe it's not so good for the fight against inflation. It stokes fear among Fed officials that inflation could heat up again if they cut interest rates too soon. With so much weight given to those reports, just how accurate are they? In this episode, José Torres will explain the jobs report and how the data varies depending on the method used to collect the information. As an economist with decades of high-level experience, he'll share other insights about the economy, inflation, interest rates, mortgage rates, a possible recession, and how all this impacts real estate and the housing market. José Torres is senior economist at Interactive Brokers. Previously he worked as an economist for the US government at the FDIC and the BLS. He also taught economics at the City University of New York and earned a master's degree in financial economics from West Texas A&M University. He's given frequent presentations to public officials and private executives and is often asked for interviews by major media outlets in both English and Spanish.

Syndicated real estate deals can be complicated and can look like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but you CAN make sense of it all with a few good pointers! And that's what you're going to get in this interview – a short-but-sweet overview of the syndicated real estate deal in language you can understand. Our guest is a syndication lawyer who will explain things like capital calls and how to deal with them, the difference between a private placement memorandum and an operating agreement, and why it's so important to look at how the syndicators are defining their terms. One of those oh-so-important terms is the "preferred return." You definitely want to understand that one! Attorney Bethany LaFlam describes herself as a seasoned deal lawyer, a conscious wealth creator, a real estate investor, and a mother. She has more than 20 years of experience practicing law and is currently a managing partner for the Premier Law Group, which focuses mostly on real estate syndications and funds. Among other career highlights is Bethany's first job at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm called Quinn Emanuel. She then launched a boutique law firm in Newport Beach, California, and merged that practice into a firm in Chicago. Her clients have ranged from real estate syndicators and developers to industries involving aerospace, energy, medical services, and technology. If you'd like to put Bethany's advice into practice, please check out our current syndicated deal in Ridgewater, Oregon. We are building homes there and are offering a 12% preferred return to accredited investors. You can find out more at https://growdevelopments.com Thanks for listening!

With interest rates hovering around 7% and housing prices still soaring, does it make sense to be a homeowner? Or would it be wiser to rent, spend less money, and enjoy more lifestyle flexibility? And how will the lawsuits against NAR impact the cost of buying a home? Will they help bring prices down by reducing real estate agent fees? These are hot topics for American home buyers and investors. In this episode, you'll hear from a guest who's made it his business to democratize real estate agent fees. He also believes that, in many cases, renting is a better financial option than buying. What you'll hear in this interview is a lively discussion about how the lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors might impact home prices, housing inventory, and real estate agent compensation. The debate also heats up when we discuss the virtues of real estate investing versus stock market investing. If you know me, you know where I stand on that issue! My guest, Jack Ryan, is the founder and CEO of REX Real Estate, which is a startup proptech brokerage that provides a digital alternative to the traditional real estate agent model. Jack has an impressive educational background with degrees from Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School. He's a former Goldman Sachs partner who transitioned into a high school teaching position on the South Side of Chicago before he founded REX. He now resides in Austin, Texas. You'll find his book on Amazon: "Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home: A Case Against Home Ownership".

Tax deductions are a big deal for real estate investors and there's one important deduction that's dangling from a cliff right now. It's the 100% bonus depreciation that's currently hung up in the Senate, past the date mentioned in this interview. But our guest, Brandon Hall, will fill you in on exactly how this deduction works and why it's so important. He'll also dive into several other very useful tax topics including how you can qualify as a real estate professional for additional tax savings, whether real estate investors are experiencing more audits right now, and what situations might increase your risk of an audit.

I love getting together with long-time real estate investing friends. It's been a few decades now since I started investing in rental properties and co-founded RealWealth to help other people do the same. We recently held a live event in the San Francisco Bay Area to showcase a few rental markets we are excited about and I had the opportunity to catch up with many people I've gotten to know over the years. You're going to hear from one of those people in this interview who also happens to be one of my all-time favorite real estate experts! My guest today is none other than Brandon Turner, former host of the very popular BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast. His current podcast is called: "The Better Life Podcast." As real estate investor, he is the founder of Open Door Capital LLC and has built a portfolio with more than 13,000 units and more than $1 Billion in assets under management. He's also a prolific author on the topic of real estate. You'll see many of his books on Amazon including: "The Book on Rental Property Investing," "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Managing Rental Properties." In this interview, you'll hear his personal story, what he's investing in, how he deals with new investing challenges, and the three things he wishes he did differently from the start. Keep listening! You're sure to be educated and entertained!

There are so many ways to invest your money, but it's difficult to know whether you are making the right decisions. Should you invest in real estate, stocks, bonds, or just tuck your money away in a savings account? Is it smart to invest when inflation remains stubbornly high? What happens if we really do have a recession? What's up with the central bank and interest rates? In today's episode, you'll hear from Mike Larson who teaches people about money, the economy, and how to invest. He's the vice president and editor-in-chief of an educational platform called MoneyShow where he oversees all aspects of investor education, content creation and conferences. Previously, he was a senior editor and analyst at Weiss Ratings and also worked at Bankrate.com and Bloomberg News. His areas of expertise as an analyst include commercial and residential real estate, central bank policy, and domestic and global interest rates, You can see Mike in person at an upcoming symposium called "The Big Money Pivot" this May 7th through 9th. It's being held at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, California, which is very close to the San Francisco airport. Mike will be giving the opening remarks and an update on the market. I will also be giving my 2024 Housing Forecast and Real Estate Investing Outlook as one of the speakers. You'll find more information on the symposium under the live events tab at MoneyShow.com.

Welcome to a very special episode of The Real Wealth Show. Today, we dive into a personal story about how I got into real estate and the real estate professional who opened so many doors for me and became my mentor. It's a story about how we came together as co-hosts of a wealth building radio show many years ago, how both of us turned challenges into opportunities, and how he helped me during a very difficult time in my life, although he claims that he also learned a lot from me! This special guest is real estate investor, home builder, mortgage broker, mentor, coach trainer, and best-selling author Gary Massari. He got his start a long time ago at Falender Properties. Gary would find the land and then work with his company subdividing and selling the lots to builders. He's currently the CEO of REI Homes & ADU's out of Danville, California which specializes in the construction of energy efficient smart homes and ADUs. And he's the CEO of REI Fortunes which teaches people how to create debt free wealth. Back in the early days as my radio show co-host, he also taught financial wealth principles to our more than 25,000 weekly listeners, including me. I was a stay-at-home mom at the time who was suddenly launched into the role of breadwinner and needed to figure out a way to support two young daughters and a husband going through a medical crisis. I'm eternally grateful for all that Gary taught me. But as you'll hear in this interview, Gary also claims to have learned alot from me since, over time, we ended up doing things very differently in the real estate world, and we've both been successful. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode about how our real estate experiences not only gave us financial stability and freedom, but how they also shaped our lives in ways that aren't measured by money. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn how to navigate the complexities of real estate investment with resilience, warmth, and wisdom. Please join RealWealth if you'd like to create your own path to financial freedom with real estate. We'd love to have you on board! It's free to join and will give you the resources and connections you need to build a rental portfolio. As always, I encourage you to be a podcast subscriber if you haven't already done so.

Do you have a really clear strategy for your real estate portfolio and a clear vision for where you want to go? Most of us know we need this, but maybe we haven't taken the time to figure it out or we just simply don't know how. In today's episode, you'll hear from someone who shares some great insights on how to create a strategy that fits your goals. You might recognize the name Dave Meyer. As a real estate investor and VP for Data and Analytics for BiggerPockets, he's been on the main podcast many times. He also hosts the new BiggerPockets "On the Market" podcast, for which I also appear as co-host. And he's the author of "Start with Strategy," which is just being released, and before that, "By the Numbers." In this interview, David talks about strategy, vision, deal design, and portfolio management. Dave has done most of his investing in Colorado, but lives in Europe so he's had to learn how to invest from a distance.You can follow Dave on Instagram @thedatadeli And you can learn more about real estate investing as a RealWealth member.

Are your real estate investments earning enough profit to make it all worthwhile? Do you know how much money is going out versus how much is coming back in? Do you need a better way of tracking the cash flow that you're working so hard to create? In this episode, you'll hear from real estate investor, David Richter, who learned by experience that he was spending too much for the amount of money he was getting from his rental properties. So he created a system for tracking cash flow called "Profit First" to help himself and other investors understand exactly how much they were really making. David has been investing in real estate for more than 10 years and has closed more than 850 deals. That includes wholesale, turnkey, BRRRR, owner finance, rentals, lease options, and other investing strategies. He created his Profit First cash flow system after he realized the need for tracking his cash flow. He's also the author of: "Profit First for Real Estate Investing," and he's the founder of SimpleCFO Solutions to help other investors so they can "stop living from deal to deal." You can also find out more about how to manage your real estate portfolio, get organized, avoid taxes, and make a profit by signing up for a free RealWealth membership at realwealthshow.com.
