Stacking Adventures: Every Traveler Has a Story

Are you struggling to get your real estate empire moving? Today we'll give you all of the motivation you need and a great mentor to help you get started. Steven Andrews was working as a manager of a big box retailer, making not-great money when he found a mentor of his own and bought his first home using a credit card for the down payment. Before he knew it, he was buying houses as quickly as possible and creating affordable living for many in his community. You'll hear his story and his tips to get rolling on this episode. In our headline segment, for more inspiration we'll share some celebrities who also began investing in real estate while pursuing other careers. Taylor Swift, Alex Rodriquez, Shaquille O'Neal, and more provide lessons for us to share some great must-do tips and a few don't-do's as well. But that's not all! We'll also share Doug's property pop quiz AND answer a question from a Deeder who's just buying their first home, at age 72! What an inspiration!

What happens when you don't do your due diligence? You end up with problems, like fights with contractors, surprises with your property, or worse yet, gotchas in contracts that you didn't expect. On today's show we describe how we didn't go our due diligence when it came to a recent guest. Scott Carson purchases mortgage notes, and we featured Scott on a recent episode. We'd met him and enjoyed talking to him. Plus, he seemed like a great teacher. What wasn't to like? Sadly, after he appeared on the show, we heard from some of YOU that there had been complaints about Scott's company. It wasn't hard to find the evidence on our own (with a quick Google search). What did we find? What do we make of the issues with Scott and his company? We'll share everything, including how we do NOT agree with some of the discussions about Scott online, where we think Scott may have had issues, but most importantly, how WE got it wrong and what we learned through this whole process that you can use when buying your next property. Plus, we also share a headline ripped from the press AND Doug shares his world-famous (soon to be) pop quiz trivia question. That, AND a call from a Deeder on today's show!

Have you heard the term, "Charity begins at home?" Today's guest will tell you just how wrong that quote is. Randy Molland was on the fast track to big bucks, and after two dramatic life events realized that the key to life was to flip from being a TAKER to being a GIVER. Randy now helps real estate investors and companies set up charitable giving inside of their community to (shockingly) grow quicker and help your local area at the same time. He'll detail just how giving more can help you build more houses, help more people, and experience more happiness, all while getting out of the rat race.

What if there were a way to invest in real estate…without investing in real estate? Scott Carson joins us to share how he buys mortgages. Banks struggle to evaluate loans because of their macro engines, and Scott sneaks into the crevasses to find opportunities to buy the loan from the bank and successfully turn a non-performing loan into a successful investment. He helps people stay in their home while also making money. How does it work? He'll explain how he identifies the loans that banks struggle with, buys the loans, and then works with the homeowner to get them back on their feet. He also covers what he does if he CAN'T help the homeowner (and sometimes still makes money). We talk about the risks, upside, and mechanics of buying loans on today's show. Plus, in our headline segment, we dive into a Reddit thread focused on one big name's child…who says that making money in real estate is super easy. We'll take a look and share some thoughts on taking advice from influencers on the internet. Plus, we'll take a question about HELOCs to Ruth's Rotary Phone AND we'll also share Doug's fascinating trivia (which doubles as a pop quiz!). All that and more on today's show!

We'll apply all the math, show you websites, dive into clues from the listing, and ultimately make a decision about whether Denise's deal is ultimately one she should pursue or if she should keep looking. In our headline segment Rich Dad, Poor Dad guru Robert Kyosaki is in the news, sharing that he's over a BILLION dollars in debt? While we can't confirm that number, we can confirm that we talk about leverage on the show and how to use it wisely without being wiped out. We also answer a call to Ruth's Rotary phone from Pam-a-lama-ding-dong (not her real name) AND we also, like a cherry on top, share Doug's entirely fun and not-for-credit pop quiz.

We'll ask it about shady real estate pros, mistakes investors make when buying, what to look for in a great deal on a location, and much more (including some "best" real estate jokes...which may not be "best" at all). In our headline segment, one major city is seeing a skyscraper change owners and the price tag might make people in that town worry. The bad news? It should make you worry as well, if you're buying near any big city. It should especially worry you if you're in short term rentals. We'll explain.
