810: Tom Brady’s Coach: You DON’T Need to Be the Best to Get the Best Results w/Greg Harden Aug 27, 2023

Show notes

Tom Brady is the GOAT (greatest of all time). But that makes his performance coach, Greg Harden, the GCOAT (greatest coach of all time). Greg has been coaching elite athletes like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, and Desmond Howard, as well as top executives at some of the most well-known companies in the world. He knows what makes someone successful and, more importantly, what does not.

But you’re probably thinking, “What do I have in common with Tom Brady?” Ask yourself a few questions. Do you want a better life? Do you want to win? Do you want to enjoy the time you’re not working? What could life be like without fearing the future? All of these questions are answered by Greg today, and they’re the same questions he’s been answering for decades to help top athletes reach their peak.

In today’s show, Greg explains why giving 100%, 100% of the time is the ONLY option for success, how consistency beats skill, why you’re not changing (even though you want to), and how to turn your fear into an eternal fire that will make your life better than it’s ever been before.

In This Episode We Cover:

The mental secrets that only elite athletes know about

How to let go and why your past baggage is self-sabotaging your life

Controlling the controllables and how to stop letting life push you around

The real way to relax and why only the best of the best know how to turn off

Why fear is more predictable than you think and how to turn anxiety and ego into fuel for your fire

And So Much More!

809: How 1 Rental Property Saved Corey Kent’s Financial Future Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Just six years ago, Corey Kent was a broke college graduate, renting out half of a room to save money, eating the same meal every day of the week. His dream was to make a living as a musician without selling out. Now, most country music fans know Corey's name and his platinum record speaks for itself. But what you don’t know is that Corey fueled his music career thanks to a handful of properties he bought years ago.

Corey’s side project real estate portfolio allowed him to launch his music career, make passive income when times got tough, and fall on his feet when the world was shut down. Corey was looking to invest in property at just seventeen years old, but when a bank turned him away, he had to change his entire mindset and learn the personal finance game from a very early age.

After his grandfather taught him the do’s and don’ts of buying raw land, Corey slowly built his real estate portfolio. At this time, Corey was below the poverty line, sleeping in his truck and saving whatever money he could to invest. He continued to buy property, EVEN when times were tight, successfully using his passive income to help him leapfrog into later becoming a chart-topping musician who now can follow his one true passion.

In This Episode We Cover:

Investing in real estate when you have low (or no) credit

Buying land and the rule of thumb that Corey ALWAYS follows before he invests

Corey’s “side project” passive real estate portfolio that helps pay for his lifestyle

How one rental property saved Corey’s family when the lockdowns began

Why real estate DOESN’T need to be your passion to build passive income

And So Much More!

808: This “CARFAX for Properties” Could Change EVERYTHING About Investing w/Sheila Fejeran and Teresa Grobecker Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Real estate investing is about to get much, much easier. Up until now, buying a property has seemed like a guessing game. Your real estate agent, inspector, and title company do their best to ensure you’re buying the right home, but a few months, or weeks, into owning it, something breaks. But not something small—something huge. Now you’re on the hook for tens of thousands in repairs, and this is just one of many things that could go wrong.

What if there was a way to see EXACTLY what a home has been through since it was built? What if you could know about every past owner, system malfunction, renovation, repair, or addition to the home? And what if you could access it in seconds when analyzing deals? Sheila Fejeran and Teresa Grobecker from Consortia are building the technology that lets you do just that.

Consortia is real estate on the blockchain. But before you start thinking crypto, know that this is something MUCH different. Consortia gives interested parties—lenders, agents, buyers, and more—access to information you would have NEVER known about a home. But that’s not all. Consortia makes closing and lending quicker, so you can buy a house FAR faster than ever imagined.

In This Episode We Cover:

How the “CARFAX for properties” will make buying rentals painless

The blockchain explained and how it will evolve the entire real estate industry

Uncovering unknown property risks and how investors can use Consortia to buy even better deals

Stopping wire fraud in its tracks and how blockchain could solve this HUGE payment problem

Why you should NEVER, ever decline title insurance on a property purchase

And So Much More!

807: How to Build a Deal Flow “Funnel” to Get UNLIMITED Deals Sent To You w/James Dainard and Sam Primm Aug 20, 2023

Show notes

Want to grab the best real estate deals before the rest? The properties with motivated sellers, high-profit potential, equity upside, and BIG cash flow—the real estate deals that every investor dreams about getting. Well, what if we told you that top investors have a tried-and-true way to get them before anyone else and that they do this consistently, every day, every year, while ninety percent of investors are forced to buy their scraps?

Of course, we’re talking about funnels. Not the cake you buy at the fair or the thing you use to pour oil—we’re talking about real estate marketing funnels, and if you know how to use them, you can make money at ANY TIME with ANY property. James Dainard and Sam Primm have been using marketing funnels for years to get off-market deals sent their way. But they’ve also used them to get agent business, find property buyers, and build investor lists. So how do they do it?

Today you’ll get a masterclass on building your own investing funnel, so you can get the best deals sent to you instead of picking up low-profit on-market properties. This is the same system the TOP investors are using, and if you repeat the steps outlined today, you’ll be able to build a bigger portfolio, create more passive income, and reach financial freedom faster.

In This Episode We Cover:

How to find more real estate deals, buyers, sellers, and investors in ANY market

The #1 thing you MUST do when creating a real estate marketing funnel

Metrics and KPIs (key performance indicators) to track (so you don’t waste $$)

TV ads, direct mail, cold calling, and other funnel sources you can use to grab deals

What to do when your funnel is costing you money but not providing the leads you need

How to Find Financial Freedom with Small Multifamily Rentals Aug 19, 2023

Show notes

Small multifamily investing is one of the fastest ways to reach financial freedom through real estate. With just a few multifamily rental properties, you can create passive income streams that’ll allow you to retire from your W2 job, go full-time into real estate investing, or have enough money to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Don’t think it’s still possible? Dave Meyer, multifamily investor and VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, may change your mind.

Dave started investing in real estate by buying a couple of small multifamily rentals within a block of each other. He lived in one of the units while renting out the others, allowing him to live for free and collect some sizable cash flow. Now, years later, Dave is collecting around $5,000 per MONTH from just these two properties. And if you invest in small multifamily rentals, you could experience the same cash flow!

Show notes

Want to invest in multimillion-dollar multifamily deals? You might think you don’t have what it takes to take down seven or even eight-figure real estate investments, but you’d probably be wrong. Today’s guests went from buying $99,000 rental properties to $11M multifamily apartment complexes while raising young children. So how do you scale from small to large multifamily and do it at a time when asset prices are so high, and competition remains fierce?

Breanne and Denise walk through their steps to find, analyze, and raise capital for massive multifamily deals. From finding the right partners to building your team, splitting roles and responsibilities, and chasing deals that seem almost impossible, today’s episode is for ANYONE who wants to level up their real estate portfolio and get into bigger properties with better profits.

In This Episode We Cover:

How to go from small to large multifamily investments and why you need to be “adding more zeros”

805: 2 “Cash Flow” Housing Markets That Are On Track for Big Growth w/Brandon Ribeiro and Peter Stewart Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Think every housing market is too expensive to buy in? Think again. We’re going over two of the country’s biggest cash flow housing markets and showing why they may be your next best bet when buying rental property. And while, traditionally, cash flow real estate markets have been associated with constant turnover, low appreciation, and consistent headaches, these two markets defy the odds—if you know where to buy.

Peter Stewart, Indianapolis agent and investor, is on today to discuss why his underrated but surprisingly lucrative housing market deserves your dollars. He’s got clients doing BRRRRs, flips, and regular rental properties with crazy cash flow numbers and returns in the triple-digit percentages! Then we talk to Brandon Ribeiro, Philadelphia commercial agent who recently scored his buyer a rock-bottom mortgage rate (3%!) that will double the cash flow on his newest property.

Interested in investing in markets like this? Need a local expert to guide you through the buying process? Check out BiggerPockets Agent Finder to connect with an expert agent in your area. It’s completely free, and you’ll get matched with experts who can talk about cash flow, not just granite countertops.

In This Episode We Cover:

Two cash flow real estate markets with strong signs for buyers

The market metrics you MUST look at before buying in ANY area

The “danger” of investing in cash flow areas and what you MUST avoid when doing so

The 130% cash-on-cash return BRRRR that you can buy in THIS market

How to lock down a rock-bottom mortgage rate with seller-financing

Real estate investing isn’t what it used to be. Back in 2010, in a post-crash housing market, almost any property in any area could cash flow easily. Back then, the question wasn’t “Where are the deals?” It was “Which deal should I buy?” But things have changed, and now in 2023, homes are hard to purchase, let alone cash flow, and more and more real estate investors are giving up simply because they don’t know the new rules of the game. So, here’s what you NEED to know.

Before we unlock every wealth-building secret in the book, let’s welcome back Danny Zapata, Philip Hernandez, and Wendy St. Clair, our recent mentees of the ninety-day mentorship! We brought them back on the show to talk about deals they’ve done, the progress they’ve made, and where they’ve fallen off track. One mentee left their job, another is handling headache evictions, and one had to put a pause on real estate. But now, they’re ALL ready to expand their empires, but they’ll need some advice first.

In this episode, David and Rob show you how to get more real estate deals TODAY, why you’re doing meetups all wrong, the reality of cash flow and why “mailbox money” isn’t what it used to be, and what to do when you CAN’T find the momentum to keep growing your wealth.

In This Episode We Cover

How to find more real estate deals instantly (even in 2023!)

The “reverse escalator” of wealth and why most Americans are getting left behind

What to do when you’ve lost momentum along your real estate journey

Replacing your job with real estate and the smartest, cheapest way to buy home-run rental properties

Why you MUST sacrifice short-term cash flow for long-term wealth

803: Building a $1.8M Real Estate Portfolio by Outsourcing Your “Weaknesses” w/Andy Gil Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

Want to build a million-dollar real estate portfolio? We’ve got good news for you! You DON’T have to rush full-steam ahead, buying every property that crosses your path to reach financial freedom. That’s right, instead of buying dozens of units a year, you can buy a dozen units within a couple of decades, taking the slow, steady path to building wealth instead of ferociously racing to rack up as many rentals as possible.

While it may sound like every real estate investor is constantly on a buying spree, this is far from the truth. Investors like Andy Gil have been able to build seven-figure real estate portfolios without sacrificing time with family or infringing on their morals to make more money. Far from it, actually; Andy is outwardly trying to make it easier for often neglected renters to find a safe place to stay.

Through the past two decades, Andy has been building his rental property portfolio up to the twelve units it is today. He never thought he would be the person to buy a house, let alone own a rental portfolio. Still, thanks to his differences that make him a superhero in aspects most investors would dread, he’s built serious wealth without sacrificing what’s important. In this episode, you’ll hear precisely how Andy did it, his “T-Rex” policy that entices renters, outsourcing your weaknesses, and using your differences to build wealth.

In This Episode We Cover:

Andy’s “T-Rex” rental policy that leads to low vacancy and a steady stream of passive income

Outsourcing your weaknesses and why you MUST know what you don’t do well

Buying a “fractured condo association” and why Andy is all-in on this uncommon asset class

Taking obstacles and turning them into opportunities along your investing journey

How multifamily real estate investors can prepare for an upcoming wave of vacancies

Why unit count DOESN’T matter, but the wealth in those units does!

And So Much More!
