As investors, it’s our goal to find opportunities to turn a passive investment into a major return. But when things go wrong, what can we do to ensure that we aren’t positioned to take a major loss? In 2009, Hans Box took a leap of faith, quit his job at PriceWaterhouseCooper, and bought a handful of rental properties. Under a client’s mentorship, he invested a substantial amount of his net worth into a deal overseeing 800 units of multifamily housing. When things started to go wrong, Hans’s partners voted for him and his current business partner to take over the deal, and he was able to take the investment from the negatives to a 24% return. Today, Hans brings his CPA skills to the podcast to share the story of how salvaging a high-risk deal informed his unique outlook on investing. You’ll learn what a deal should look like and how to interpret it, what you can do to minimize and mitigate your risk as you structure it, and how creating reliable streams of passive income have allowed Hans to focus on the things he loves the most about investing.Key TakeawaysHow Hans’ first deal taught him the value of being able to remove an underperforming sponsor or manager. How partners, sponsors, managers, and operating teams should perform under ideal circumstances.How to factor and evaluate what a return is actually going to look like, financial strength, and profitability.Why lifestyle investing isn’t about sitting on a beach for the rest of your life. The unique value of being both a mentor and a mentee - and why tracking your progress is so essential to effective coaching.Want the Full Show Notes?To get access to the full show notes, including audio, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit JustinDonald.com/11Get the Lifestyle Investor Book!To get access to The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cashflow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom visit JustinDonald.com/bookRate & Review If you enjoyed today’s episode of The Lifestyle Investor, hit the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.

Many lifestyle investors don’t just want to live life on their terms - they want to use their skills and knowledge to help others do the same. It’s why so many of us use our time to focus on building incredible networks, launch masterminds, and work to become better spouses, parents, and friends. It’s also what naturally leads some lifestyle investors into the world of franchising. Today’s guest, Erik Van Horn, understands this well. He’s founded the Franchise Tribe, a mastermind for franchise owners, as well as the host of the Franchise Secrets podcast - and he consistently brings real value into people’s lives while generating very serious ROI. He’s also a participant of Clubhouse, a platform where people can join virtual rooms, share stages, and listen in - and participate in - real conversations about life and business. In this episode of the podcast, I’m excited to talk to Erik about the power and value of networks, doing work because you want to (not because you need to), and the ins and outs of franchise deals.Key TakeawaysHow the Franchise Tribe helped countless business owners when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Why Erik got “back into the game” and launched his mastermind despite having reliable streams of low-maintenance passive income. The biggest mistake that young franchisors make.What to look for when bringing in team members and partners as a lifestyle investor.Why the magic happens when your time no longer has to produce income.Want the Full Show Notes?To get access to the full show notes, including audio, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit JustinDonald.com/10Get the Lifestyle Investor Book!To get access to The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cashflow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom visit JustinDonald.com/bookRate & Review If you enjoyed today’s episode of The Lifestyle Investor, hit the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.
