785: Making $1M+ Per YEAR After a Decade of Real Estate Fumbles w/Dean Rogers Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Want to make over a million dollars a year? Real estate may be the best way to get there. Just follow the same steps Dean Rogers took. In just a decade, Dean went from making $65,000 per year to over a million dollars; but the payoff wasn’t instantaneous. After being put in a position that most people would kill to be in, Dean left behind a seven-figure salary, glitz, glamor, fame, and a childhood dream to do something that fulfilled him. He had to start over entirely while his peers made more money than most of us could imagine.

Dean took over a ninety-percent pay cut just to enter the tireless, W2 working world that he thought he would excel in. After realizing that hard work and continuous overachieving gets you nothing but a meager pay raise, he knew he had to go in another direction. He stumbled upon a real estate podcast, started investing with no money (seriously!), and grew a small side hustle into a full-on business that pays him as much as only professional athletes make.

Dean’s story goes from riches to rags to riches again as he left his dangerous yet high-paying career to live paycheck to paycheck doing something that he knew would pay off Now, he rakes in more money in one year than most Americans make in a decade, controlling his own life, putting his health and family first, and helping new investors, like you, along the way. Want to make your millions? Tune in!

In This Episode We Cover:

How Dean does over 100 real estate deals per year and profits seven figures

Walking away from a high salary when you know that the career isn’t worth the cash

Investing with no money and how to do your first deal without ANY experience

Why you should always make this ONE phone call before partnering with anyone

Losing six figures on bad deals and red flags that you should look out for

Building your “friends with benefits” that all build wealth together

And So Much More!

784: How I Went from 200+ Tenant Phone Calls to 1 Per Year Using This “System” w/Pasha Maleknia Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

You’ve built a sizable rental property portfolio; now, it’s time to relax. You book a trip to the beach, get on your swimsuit, and are about to head out the door, but then, your tenant calls you. “The toilet is leaking,” “I lost my keys,” “The oven just went out.” Instead of enjoying your vacation, you’re spending hours looking up plumbers, locksmiths, and electricians. You’re juggling phone calls while trying to enjoy your time off. Wasn’t real estate investing supposed to be passive?

This is the scenario that most landlords are living in. And it only gets worse the more homes you buy and the more money you make. But, there is a way never to pick up another tenant phone call again while giving your renters the best experience imaginable. All you have to do is build a system like Pasha Maleknia did. Pasha went from 218 tenant phone calls a year to only one by creating and tweaking this passive income system. In today’s episode, he’ll provide the exact steps so you can do it too.

Pasha’s system isn’t complex, and most of it can be built for free. There’s no expensive software or complicated formulas to create this rental portfolio system. If you have some time to set aside from your day, you can build something like this in a matter of hours. So, are you ready to trade tenant phone calls for more trips to the beach? If so, stick around!

In This Episode We Cover:

The five-step system to turn a nightmare rental portfolio into truly passive income

Why you DON’T need to spend a lot of money or time building a rental systems

782: Unbelievable Returns from Flipping This New Type of Real Estate w/Jessie Rodriguez Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

The real estate market is crumbling…or is it? According to experienced investors like Jessie Rodriguez, now is one of the best times in recent memory to start building wealth. As a multi-decade house-flipping veteran, Jessie understands how the housing market works. He lost his business, his home, and the majority of his wealth in 2007 but has made it out not only surviving but thriving with a house-flipping business that prints cash. And he knows something that you probably don’t.

The past few years have been a bloodbath for flippers. With home prices correcting and buyers fleeing the market, many flippers from years back aren’t around today. But, the tide has started to turn, and buyers are getting back into bidding wars, willing to spend good money on homes that fit their remote-first lifestyle. Jessie and his team are HEAVILY capitalizing on this, and more good news may be on the way.

In this episode, Jessie talks about rebuilding his business after losing it all in 2007, why now may be one of the BEST times to start house flipping, key indicators of a market shift that most investors miss, the biggest myth in today’s real estate space, and how Jessie’s team is redeveloping a historic building and turning it into a passive income stream that offers millions in profits. The best part? You can copy Jessie’s strategy to build your own wealth in 2023, so don’t skip this!

In This Episode We Cover:

Rebuilding your wealth after losing EVERYTHING in a financial crash

The biggest myth of 2023 real estate and why most investors are wasting time

Signs of a housing market shift and the metrics that predict where we’re headed

Finding a mentor and how the right one can put you decades beyond the competition

Redeveloping historic real estate and the unusual deals that are making Jessie a fortune

Building a seven-figure passive income stream, EVEN if you’re new to rentals

And So Much More!

781.5: What to Buy During the Newest Real Estate Crash w/Willy Walker Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Commercial real estate has been teetering on the edge of crash territory for months now. With banks tightening their funding, forcing investors to refinance at higher rates and occupancy down across multiple sectors, commercial could be crashing very soon. But we aren’t here to prompt fear for real estate investing; instead, we’re presenting some opportunities to build wealth, even when most investors think the sky is falling.

To help give us a read on the whole commercial real estate situation is Willy Walker, CEO of Walker & Dunlop, one of the largest commercial real estate finance companies in the nation. Willy knows precisely what’s happening in the industry because he is the industry. As the third largest apartment lender in the US, valued at over $2 billion, Willy’s ability to forecast the commercial real estate market has helped Walker & Dunlop grow to new heights. And he has some news to share.

Willy touches on the “pain to come” for commercial real estate, why residential has stayed safe, big investors’ refinancing dilemma, and why banks are pulling out of lending for large assets. With commercial investors needing cash to fund their deals but failing to find it, everyday investors (just like you) could help fill the void and walk away with a sizable profit. If you want to fuel your wealth, not your fear, stick around!

In This Episode We Cover:

The impending commercial real estate crash and who’s in danger

Balloon loans, risky refinances, and why high mortgage rates have put investors in a tough spot

Residential vs. commercial real estate and why one can fall while the other holds strong

Private lending and how you can take advantage of banks pulling back from larger investments

Asset classes that could have the biggest opportunity if a crash hits

US debt and how increasing the debt ceiling will lead to unmanageable consequences

780: The Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Medium-Term Rental Empire w/Jesse Vasquez Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

Your real estate cash flow is suffering. Rent growth is slowing, mortgage rates are rising, and property prices are staying put. So where can you find more room to profit with your rental property? The answer is medium-term rentals! Until a couple of years ago, medium-term rentals, also called corporate rentals or traveling nurse rentals, were the sleepy investing strategy that only experienced investors like Jesse Vasquez knew about. But now, they’ve become (arguably) the best rental property on the planet.

With medium-term rentals, you can often make four (or more) times the rent than a regular rental. You’ll also have minimal turnover, more professional tenants, and be able to book out your place at a high monthly rate for four, five, or six months at a time. They’re easier to manage than short-term rentals but have substantially more cash flow than long-term rentals. So, how do you get in on this high-cash flow craze?

We brought Jesse back to the show for a step-by-step tutorial on starting, running, and profiting with a medium-term rental. He gives in-depth answers on how much it costs to start, the best locations to buy (or rent), how to get the biggest rental contracts from top corporations, amenities guests will expect, and what to charge. If you want to take your rental property from break-even to making bank, this is the strategy for you!
