    FAR 256 Opening:

    Today we are talking about Opportunity Zones. You may have heard about them. You might have even heard they are the next BIG thing in real estate investing. They represent a tax break for real estate investors as an incentive to bring economic development to underserved areas. I had a chance to speak with Jillian Sidoti and Nancy Tegeder of the law firm of Trowbridge and Sidoti out of southern California.

    News: Opportunity Zones

    Ram Realty CEO isn't buying into Opportunity zones, says "Anyone who has [Opportunity Zone properties] for development thinks they're sitting on gold, but if you are trying to underwrite and make sense of the project with today's rents and costs, it's very challenging for these areas"

    https://therealdeal.com/miami/2019/05/10/ram-realty-ceo-isnt-buying-into-opportunity-zones/

    Fund sponsors and their investors began buying assets in Opportunity Zones en masse this past month, their enthusiasm triggered by the U.S. Treasury's mid-April release of a second tranche of proposed regulations for the tax-sheltering vehicles.

    Motivational Thoughts for the day

    "There is no amount of money that makes time irrelevant." -Mark Dolfini


    The Questions You SHOULD Be Asking May 31, 2019
    Show notes

    A few days ago we got a question from Lamar asking, "What questions should new investors be asking?" We liked the question so much we decided to make an entire episode out of it. We conducted a survey online and got some interesting responses which I will share plus I will weigh in. Here's why this is important. If you are new, you need to make sure that your first project has the best chance of succeeding. In order to do that, you must engage in risk mitigation. And how do you do that? Ask questions. Ask a lot of them. Don't be afraid to be new. Everyone was at some point. The question may be obvious, even to you, but ask it if you don't know or are unsure. Today I'm going to focus on questions that may not be so obvious to you, the newbie, that we all wish we WOULD have asked if we had known.

    Plus we have news about the world of real estate coming up in just a few minutes.

    The Old Fashioned Real Estate Show - Jeffrey Holst May 31, 2019
    Show notes

    Jeff is a recovering attorney who spends his time as a 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 an 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 travelled, 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 was married to 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 41 years old, just over a decade later, Jeff is back on top. He is a millionaire, with over 140 residential units in his personal portfolio. He also owns multiple commercial properties. He is still married and continues to travel extensively. He is also co-host of the Old Fashioned Real Estate Show where the hosts drink bourbon old fashioneds and talk about real estate.

    You can follow him on YouTube and Facebook at Old Fashioned Real Estate or at www.oldfashionedrealestate.com

    Flipping Houses in Ten Days, Ch 4 May 31, 2019
    Show notes

    Today we are going back to my upcoming book, "Flipping Houses in Ten Days" and I'm going to read Chapter 4: Fund the Deal. What's the point of finding a deal if you can't pay for it. But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that if you find a really good deal, you'll be able to put together the funding for it or at the very least, get it sold. Why do I say that? Because YOU my friend have access to a powerful resource for wholesaling properties: The FAN, aka the Flipping America Network at flippingamericanetwork.com. You can post it there and if it's a deal, it WILL get sold. You also, by virtue of the fact that you are listening to me right now, have access to me, your humble Flipping America host. I buy deals still and I know other people across the country who are buying them. I might be able to hook you up with either a lender or a buyer. But that's beside the point. In Chapter 4 I explain your various options about deal funding, do a bit of the math for you and give you some practical steps to take to get your first deal funded.

    First I need to finish my answer to an email - I ran out of time on the last show.

    • Linda, Jacksonville, FL "This roofer had put on two roofs for me doing the hurricane last year so I trusted him. He did mention that his company had merge with another and his job function had changed. Because of the previous relationship with my other two rentals didn't think I would get screwed, The roof that was removed was shingle so the quotes were given on that. The following invoices were sent out first for repairing the roof $4,531.92 (wasn't aware of a repair quote dated 4/2/19, second invoice 4/3/19 in amount of $5,361.92, third invoice sent 4/11/19 in amount of $11,789.54 & finally invoice no date but received via emails on 4/13/19 after numerous requests for an updated invoice. Yes the insurance company has all invoices but remember I was told because of the pitch shingles could not be installed. The requirement for shingles is a 2" pitch across entire roof. Yes this is a rental & yes I believe I'm being screwed but I will seek legal advise on this problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Maybe I need to share this roofing company with the group. What do you think? Surely wouldn't like this to happen to anyone else. By the way, the square footage of the home is less than 1200 sq. ft. & my friend got a modified roof installed 4 years ago & his cost was less $7,000 ( I have his receipt). My friend house was approximately 1400 sq. ft. Thanks again for your interest & help.
    • The charges do seem unreasonable. I've used rolled roofing on low pitch roofs and the cost wasn't much different than shingles. The repairs (I'm assuming the decking) might be legitimate, but this could have been known ahead of time to some extent. Did they get up on the roof to inspect or just use a drone? When I get to a situation like this (I've done 900 flips and bought over 200 rentals so far, so I've seen a lot unfortunately) I realize none of the options are really pleasant. But here is how I proceed:
      • Is the insurance company going to pay or fight the charges? If they do not want to pay they may help you fight them.
      • Next I try to talk with the decision maker. My part would go like this: "The pitch of the roof was known when you quoted. I expect you to honor your quote, even if you made a mistake. I've made mistakes in this business and no one is paying for them but me. I shouldn't pay for yours. We have a written and signed agreement."
      • If that doesn't work here's my next step: "I belong to a group of investors here that collectively own hundreds of properties. And I've been in touch with a nationally syndicated radio show (that would be Flipping America, my show). They know about this situation. Is this how you want me to tell them it ended?" You have to be careful when telling your story. If the company is litigious you may face a lawsuit for slander or libel. But you are permitted to state the facts.
      • If that doesn't work (and I'm assuming he completed the work): "Ok then, I'm going to honor what we agreed to in writing even if you won't." That's all I say. This is basically inviting them to lien the property. In Georgia if a contractor liens the property they have 1 year to follow through and sue for foreclosure of the lien or it just expires. If you plan to keep the house the worst the can happen is you get to tell this to a judge. 9 times out of 10 the liens just expire because 9 times out of 10 the contractor knows they can't win. This is personally a bit distasteful for me because I strongly desire to be honorable in all my dealings. But I've realized over the years that people will run over me if I let them. So I stopped letting them.
      • Here's the potential downside. If they have a case and pursue that case, you will have legal expenses and even if you win, you will still have those legal expenses. If they pursue the case within the time limit I would recommend you consider settling at a reduced number. This is not legal advice. Please consult counsel if it comes to that. I'm just making you aware of the practical issue here. Settling is almost always cheaper than paying lawyers to fight it out.

    Opening:

    We are back to the book today - my upcoming book, "Flipping Houses in Ten Days." You won't be flipping a house in just ten days, but it's ten short chapters. You read one chapter a day for ten days. If you listen to this show regularly you will eventually get the entire book in audio form and here's a NOT secret for you - if you have the Flipping America app, which is completely free, you will eventually have the entire book. Why am I doing this? It's all about giving value and providing content. Besides - I'll need the audio version of the book, so we will have that ready to go in a month or two. Yeah, it's about efficiency and all that. Today I'm going to read Chapter 3, Analyzing a Deal.

    You need the skills to analyze any deal or opportunity that comes your way. And as you progress as a business owner you'll need to translate those analytical skills to different opportunities. We won't get to that translation step in this chapter but I will tell you every step in analyzing a deal, coming up

    Opening:

    As many of you know my mother passed away on April 26th. I've been off the air since then and I thank you for your patience as we have run some reruns during that time. Today I want to read to you the tribute I wrote for her and sent out to friends across the country last week.

    My mother passed away Friday afternoon, April 26, 2019. She had been struggling will illness through most of this year. This week I dedicate this space to my mother and her memory. My mother weighed just over 1 pound when she was born. They didn't have access to incubators so they put her into a warm oven at home. She grew up during the Great Depression, and endured many illnesses in her childhood including one that caused her to miss an entire year of school. She spent that time reading and was so ahead of her class she skipped a couple of grades and graduated at 16. After two years at a Teacher's College she headed to her first job, teaching in a two room schoolhouse in Hudson Colorado. She taught the elementary school. She caught the attention of one of the boys in the high school class, Charles. They could not even pretend to be interested in each other until he graduated. Shortly after his graduation they married. Next month would have been their 70th wedding anniversary.

    My parents crisscrossed the country following various jobs until they settled in Louisville KY where my Dad started his own construction business. They lived in an airstream travel trailer with my two older brothers until I came along and they decided they needed to get something larger. As Dad's business grew my mother was finally able to pursue her lifelong dream of a degree in library science to become a librarian. She taught me to read by the time I was five and faithfully took my younger sister me to the library regularly. We didn't have a lot of money in those days but mom always scrimped and saved so I would be able to buy a book or two with the book fair came to school (anyone else remember those?). She always knew what book or genre I needed to read next. She loved science fiction and instilled that love in me. It was the same for music. Although she had not studied it, she loved music, loved to listen and loved to sing. She was a walking Arts and Crafts movement. She quilted, knitted, cross-stiched, and latch-hook-rugged her way in their retirement motorhome across America numerous times, to Canada, and even to Alaska.

    When not traveling, my mother would volunteer in the children's program at her church. She never sought the limelight or a leadership role, content to take attendance and listen to the children recite Bible verses. She faithfully did this over a period of 25 years after they retired.

    In my last conversation with her we talked about many of these things -- things that had a profound impact on my life yet she barely remembers them. (She had completely forgotten about "Georgie Girl" and me teaching myself the Budweiser theme song on the piano.) But her mind was never unclear about her love for her family, the grands, the great-grands, all the cousins, in-laws, and associated friends and significant others. Her faith in God never wavered. Her trust in his love never faltered.

    I decided to share an excerpt from a letter with you I sent to her on Mother's Day 2017.

    Dear Mom,

    ...I am blessed to have led organizations and touched individual lives. Every big thing and every good thing I have done is because of the unique combination in me of Dad's "big ideas" mentality combined with the insatiable desire you planted in me to learn and grow. As much as there is any story to my life, it is the story of your influence, your loving guidance, your correction, and support. I am so blessed that you are my Mother.

    I wish for you a very Happy Mother's Day.

    • Hey would you buy me lunch just so you could pick my brain? 32 cents per day. For less than the price of that lunch, just $9.67 per month, you can have a whole month's worth of my brain pickings by joining the Premium membership. Just go to flippingamericanetwork.com and click on the FAN. On this show I keep a pretty narrow focus on real estate and small business development. But if you subscribe to my FAN premium blog you'll find out what I think about a wide variety of topics. I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I'm going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests.

Download the Property Grade app. You answer 10 simple questions about the property and the app instantly tells you what you can expect to make, your return on investment, your return on cash, and then the program gives the project a letter grade using the proprietary Flipping America Investment Property Grade algorithm.
    Guest: Mike Ventry, Accuplan Your Questions: Send emails to questions@rogerblankenship.com
    • My name is Carlos from Houston, Texas and I want to get into flipping houses and have some questions as to what I need to be able to get started?
    • 1) Do I need a DBA to start or LLC to protect myself?
    • 2) What type of credit score would I need if any is needed?
    • 3) Do I need a Real Estate License to purchase houses on foreclosure?
    • 4) Could I get directly with a Broker and pay them a percentage to be able to buy houses?
    • Any advise you could give me would be greatly appreciated so I can start my new journey.
    • Tammy from Long Beach, CA "I've been offered a small house to own as a rental for $260,000. It's a steal of a deal - probably worth $300-310,000. It rents for $2200 per momth. My payments including taxes and insurance will be $1723.65. This looks like almost $500 per month in cash flow. My husband listens to your show and based on what he's heard he doesn't think this is a good deal. How is this not a good deal?"

    Flipping Houses in 10 Days, Chapters 7-8 May 10, 2019
    Show notes

    Chapters 7-8

    Expected Air Date: 4/25/19

    Opening:

    Today we are going back to my forthcoming book, Flipping Houses in Ten Days. I call it this not because you can flip a house in ten days (at least not now) but because it's ten short chapters and you can pretty easily read it in ten days. Last week I read chapter 5 on the show and didn't quite get finished. I still had a couple of pages to go when we ran out of time. But that is by far the longest chapter in the book. To prove that point today I'm going to read TWO chapters. Chapters 7 and 8. Chapter 7 is "Count Your Chickens" and Chapter 8 is "Check Up From the Neck Up." They are coming up in a minute.
