Freedom Before Finance: How to Re-Think Your Business / Investing Strategies w/ Chad Corbett Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Chad Corbett built THREE majorly successful businesses, but there was one problem: he hated the life they gave him. Wanting his freedom back, he SHUT THEM DOWN in 24 hours to start from scratch on a business that made him happier. Buckle up for today's episode!
Chad - In His Words:
By this time I was 29, I had 4 real estate licenses, had managed over $1 Billion in closings, and sold over $100 Million in real estate but I had only made it to a net worth of $150,000. I was living in Kaanapali Beach, Maui and I was NOT fulfilled or challenged so I found the courage to follow my intuition and hit the reset button. I left my W2 J.O.B. even though I didn’t know what I would do in the 2011 economy.

Finding Purpose in My Work and becoming Chad Corbett again.

For the next 2 months, I traveled to Canada on an adventure motorcycle with a flyrod, a journal, and a backpacker’s tent. One night by a lake in interior British Columbia, when I least expected it, I had an experience that changed my life, and the lives of many others, for the better. That night I was watching the last light tuck behind the Three Sisters and paying close attention to the feeling of peace and tranquility in my heart. After weeks of being alone nearly 24 hours a day, with no electronics, I finally felt relaxed and at peace with the risks and tranquility of the wilderness. It was at this moment that I asked myself “How do you need to live in order to be in control of this feeling whenever you want it?”. I had a bit of a burning bush moment as the 3 guiding principles I still live my life by came to me silently but in the loudest voice I had ever heard:

Always help others more than yourself
Always net $100k+ so you can live and give the way you want to
Always be able to run it from a phone or laptop anywhere in the world

"No Bad Days": How To Cultivate Ultimate Gratitude In Life & Business w/ Jeffrey Holst Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

Today we talk about cultivating gratitude no matter what life throws at you. The ROI on this episode will be even greater than most of our investing shows!
Jeffrey Holst is a recovering attorney who spends his time as a podcast host and real estate investor. Jeff graduated early and with honors from Michigan State College of Law where he was the graduating class speaker. He also holds a M.B.A.

At 30 years old, Jeff checked the last item off his personal bucket list by climbing Machu Picchu. He was on top of the world. As he stood looking down at the lost Incan city, he had been living the life of his dreams. He was well traveled, having previously visited the Pyramids in Egypt, climbed to the top of Mt Sinai, swam with sharks in Belize, and backpacked alone around Europe. He married the girl of his dreams. He had a beautiful house in the suburbs and a thriving law practice. Two weeks later, he was in the hospital dying. His business was in disarray, his wife was barely holding it together and he was on his way to bankruptcy.

Today, at 43 years old, just over a decade later, Jeff is back on top. He is a millionaire, with over 250 residential units in his personal portfolio. He also owns multiple commercial properties. He is still married and continues to travel extensively. In February of 2020 Jeff climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and stood at the highest point in Africa. He is the co-host and founder of the Last Life Ever Podcast. As the original “Last Lifer,” Jeff is passionate about helping people live the best possible version of their lives. He is also co-host of the Old Fashioned Real Estate Show where the hosts drink bourbon old fashioneds and talk about real estate investing.

In this episode, J offers valuable insights into why he wished he hadn’t flipped houses, how a fixed-rate long-term debt becomes an asset, and how you can take advantage of depreciation to offset your active income.

J is the author of four best-selling books on real estate investing, including The Book on Negotiating Real Estate and Recession Proof Real Estate Investing.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[04:31] Four ways to make returns in real estate

[06:23] Why owning real estate is a hedge against inflation

[09:16] Levers, tweaks, and your parameters for your buying criteria

[10:29] The best hedge against inflation

[13:17] Recommended loan products and vehicles

[17:17] Understanding the market cycles

[21:11] Recession-proof real estate investing ideas

[27:16] Why he wished he hadn’t flipped houses

[33:29] Two big ways to get tax credits on your properties

[40:43] J Scott’s buying journey

[50:51] Why J Scott got into real estate

Notable quotes from the Episode:

“Life is all about all the relationships with people that have helped you along the way. “

“The real asset these days is the loan... it's literally the best hedge against inflation."

"Don't think about finding a property. Think about finding a great loan product. Apply that to a decent property, now you've got a great investment."

“Make sure all of your investments are basically recession-resistant for at least three years.”
