FAR 170 Expected Air Date: 07/16/18 Opening Your network is your net worth. We've heard that for years. The more you connect with people in this industry, or whatever industry you happen to be in, the more good things can happen. I can't tell you exactly how or when those results might begin to benefit your life, but I can tell you that your best success as an entrepreneur will come from the people you meet, either investors, suppliers, customers, or even your fellow competitors. Today I'm going to talk to you about a giant in our industry, Connected Investors. They are one of the largest networking sites for real estate investors in the world. On their site you can find people in your area, or people in the area where you want to be, vendors, deals, money, just about anything you need. In a few moments we are going to be joined by Marty Coyne, the Chief Technology Officer for Connected Investors. We were talking at a conference recently - yes, NETWORKING! And he told me about a new product they had released. It's an aggregation tool that puts a ton of seller leads all into one place -- a product they call PinPoint Profits. I expressed my doubts and Marty put it on the line. He asked me to use the product and see if it didn't work. I did, and WOW. We've only been using it a few days now but we are stunned by the potential. We have hundreds of new leads and are already in contact with a few of the sellers. I'll keep you posted as we go along, but so far I'm amazed and delighted to tell you about this. But Connected Investors is a LOT more than PinPoint Profits. Marty will explain more in just a few minutes - you don't want to miss any of this, because after we talk about CI for awhile I'm going to throw a couple of real estate technology questions his way. Wait til you hear his answers!

Ben De Leon, Texas Attorney Jul 15, 2018

Show notes

FAR 168 Expected Air Date: 07/12/18 Opening Would you like to just sit down with a lawyer - off the clock - and pick his or her brain about real estate and business issues? Today you can. Well -- today you can, vicariously anyway. Coming up in a few minutes I'm going to interview a real estate attorney from Austin Texas, Ben De Leon. He is the President of De Leon Washburn & Ward, P.C. (dwlawtx.com), one of Texas' most storied independent law firms. As general counsel to some of Texas' fastest growing companies, he is passionate about helping entrepreneurs focus on the success of their business by providing strategic guidance and legal counsel. He serves as outside general counsel to various small to mid-size companies in all areas of business law, including real estate and construction matters. Here's a cool thing - you can kinda pick his brain too - because Ben is a blogger. He talks about issues important to us as investors. I spent some time on his website reading his blog and I can tell you it's recommended reading. Some of it is very eye-opening. That's at dwlawtx.com.

Stop Being Poor Jul 14, 2018

Show notes

FAR 167 Expected Air Date: 07/09/18 Opening I was minding my own business at the pool the other day and a young man walked by with a shirt that read "Stop Being Poor." My first reaction was to be a bit startled, then amused. I thought to myself "he's inviting a heap of criticism upon himself -- I wonder if he can take it?" Then I realized we were at the pool deck of our building in midtown Atlanta and it's unlikely he would run into any poor people at this venue. Of course if we want to see poor people all we need do is step outside the door of our building and start walking in any direction. We won't go a full block before we come across someone with their hand out, making various claims about their homelessness, joblessness or poverty. This show is about real estate and real estate investing, and the subject of poverty is not a happy one. In fact it might be one we prefer not to ever think about. But it is ever with us and should be considered in light of our larger responsibilities to ourselves and the people around us. So later in the show I'm going to tackle the subject and see if I can't bring it around to a real estate connection somehow.

Topic: Stop Being Poor The shirt: "Stop Being Poor". I did some research and learned there was an entire meme on the internet about this.

Poverty is a choice, especially in the United States of America.
1. Many are born into poverty and don't realize the opportunity.
2. Our role is to present the opportunity, not create dependency.
3. Anyone can take the next step.
"The poor will always be with you." -Jesus. Why?
1. Some (non U.S.) lack any reasonable opportunity.
2. Some do not have the ability to lift themselves out. Mental illness or physical disability.
3. Some are trapped by culture - unaware of the steps out of poverty.
4. Some are unmotivated. America is a land of opportunity unparalleled in the world and throughout history. It is also a country where you can do absolutely nothing with your life and receive handouts that make your living standard better than much of the rest of the world. Many will choose this. If you're unmotivated, if you'd rather sleep than work, if you prefer entertainment or fill in the blank with your substance of choice rather than advancing yourself, I'm ok with that. Just don't complain to me about being poor. And please have the intellectual integrity to stop blaming everyone else.
So what do we do with the poor?
1. Feed, clothe, and shelter them.
2. Show them the way out.
3. Feed, clothe, and shelter even those who choose to remain poor. Why? Because this is how we live out beautiful concepts known as mercy and grace. We have all received mercy and grace and perhaps the most Godlike thing we can actually DO with our lives is to be conduits of mercy and grace. What are mercy and grace?
  1. Mercy: NOT getting the negative results you deserve.
  2. Grace: Getting positive blessings you don't and possibly couldn't deserve.

Anyone hearing my voice right now has the opportunity to do something different with your life, if you want to. If you think there's a better life out there and you want it badly, you have the freedom in this country to pursue it. There's so much more to life than being rich in material things, but if that's what you want, all you have to do is learn what rich people do and do that. Whatever it is you want to achieve there is almost certainly someone out there whose path you can follow. The real question is not whether there is opportunity. The real question is, how badly do you want it? What can we do?

The people on the street?
The impersonal unknown "poor"
- Let the state help?
- Do your bit.
The working class poor?
- Affordable housing
- Rent with respect for human decency and dignity.

Veronica, Pittsburgh, PA, "I'm new to this, I have my contractor and my funding lined up. I just need deals. What are the top 2 or 3 ways you find deals to fix and flip?"
Max, Long Beach, CA, "I want to get into this business. I have no money, no credit, and no experience. But I WILL work hard and I will work for free just to learn. Can you help me?"

Pat Dornan, Ultimate Rehab Estimator Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

FAR 164 Expected Air Date: 07/2/18 Opening Have you ever asked yourself the question, "what is this remodeling job going to cost?" When you buy an investment property, especially if you are going to flip it, the repair / remodel number is one of the big three numbers you HAVE to know in order to be sure you're going to make money on the project. The other two are the ARV and the cost of the money. Where does the purchase price fit in? Because it seems like that's where you start. It IS the first number that gets activated in the process, but it's the last number to be calculated. You back into a purchase or offer price based on the other three numbers. This is true in any kind of property investment. You must have your exit strategy and a strong understanding of what you will get for the property, you must know your rehab or "value add" number. And you should be mindful of you cost of funds. Today we are going to visit with the guy who can help you nail down that rehab number. His name is Pat Dornan and he is the inventor of the Ultimate Rehab Estimator. Ron was on the program about a year ago when both his software and this show were new. In that time his product has grown, the feature set has expanded remarkably, and he is, in my opinion, on his way to market dominance. There are other construction estimating programs out there designed for the insurance industry and disaster cleanup crews, but they use bloated and many time unrealistic pricing, which frankly seems like more of a WAG to me. If you want to know what a WAG is, you can look it up or contact us, but this is a kid friendly show, so I'm not telling you on the air. The URE takes you through a property board by board, cabinets, countertops, outlets, everything you would typically do in a property. The program is linked to the Home Depot catalog for most every item you would ever need. Then Pat and his team add in the labor rates from every state in the US and sales tax information in every location so they can calculate to within a couple of dollars the exact cost of your rehab. It's an amazingly thorough product and no investor should be without it. Pat will be here in just a few moments.

Warrick, Boulder, CO "Just found your show and am enjoying it. I'm about to do my first flip, buying a house from a wholesaler. He wants me to give him $7500 as a non-refundable deposit. He also said there is no due diligence on the deal. I have to close in 14 days. I didn't want to ask him, but what is due diligence? And is this a bad thing?"
Larry, London, KY, "I'm interested in owning rental properties in this area. I have a few, but I'm not sure I bought them right. What kind of price would you suggest? The market here is probably not as strong as some of the places you mention on your show."
Sheila, Jacksonville, FL "I'm 63 about to retire a bit early. I have enough in my accounts that I know I can live the rest of my days if I can make just a consistent 6% return on my investment. I don't really trust the stock market and I do like real estate. But I don't want to own or manage any properties. I just want 6%. Did I hear you say you have a private lending program that would make something like this?"

Entrepreneurial Excellence, with Ron Carucci Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

FAR 163 Expected Air Date: 06/30/18 Opening We've been talking about life and business over the past few weeks and today we have Ron Carucci online to visit with us about start-ups. We discuss several of the misconceptions in the minds of new entrepreneurs, and the mistakes that flow out of those misconceptions. More importantly we discuss how to address them. Ron and his partners work with medium size and larger businesses typically but he was willing to give us 30 minutes of his valuable insight. That's coming up shortly. In case you missed it, I want you to pay attention to Zillow. They are a giant among us. You can pick on the Zestimate all you want and I'll agree with you that it is not to be trusted. But Zillow is huge and has a ton of cash to work with. That's why when they announced recently they are getting into the direct buying space, I sat up and took notice. They have the clout and the national presence to clobber everyone else, I'm looking at you OfferPad, Knock, OpenDoor, and even Mark Spain with your Guaranteed Offer program. Should these people fold up and quit? Absolutely not. Let's all get better at what we do. We are all out there looking for deals and here is the MAIN reason all of these are not going to put us out of business: You ready for this? No, wait. I'll tell you after my talk with Ron.

Guest: Ron Carucci, Co-Founder Navalent Notes from the Interview (You're welcome!) 3 things holding back most Entrepreneurs

Identity - "What is your strategy?" often yields stock answers like mission, vision, values statements. Usually borrowed, plagiarized or counterfeit. Why you? What are the differentiators?
Organizational Continuity - Processes. Intentional design and deplloyment of assets
1. 70% of what we do is just necessary to stay competitive and keep the lights on.
2. Enabling work is what moves us forward. Often these get diluted.
Leadership

Tips for listeners: Don't let HGTV seduce you. It's not for everyone. If you're going to "just do it", "just do it" wisely. Be thoughtful. Give it a year to work. Ask yourself, "Am I willing to do what it takes to succeed?" Scaling is not Growth. Growth is topline increase at the same rate of cost. Scaling is repeatable efficiency.

Ebony, Detroit, MI "Hi Roger can transactional funding be used to purchase properties at tax or bank foreclosure auctions? I know transactional funding is used for back to back closings that must take place the same day. I think it would be best to at least ask the homeowner to agree to a thirty day time frame to allow time to find an end buyer. I know the law states that the homeowner who's being foreclosed on has a six month redemption period to stay in their home without paying a mortgage, they can reclaim their property and they cant be evicted unless they refuse to allow an inspection or if they damage the property. So with that being said can transactional funding still be used as long as the end buyer is ok with purchasing a foreclosure that has a six month redemption period? Or should I check with the companies or local court houses that hold the auctions to find out if transactional funding is allowed for tax and bank foreclosures?
Milton, Villages of Ocala, FL "I need a reputable lender for a rental property. Can you help?"
Jim, West Palm Beach, FL, didn't email but from a strategy call. "I have about 20k to put into a deal and just can't find a deal that small that isn't in a terrible area."

QuantmRE with Matthew Sullivan Jun 24, 2018

Show notes

FAR 162 Expected Air Date: 06/25/18 Opening Many of you listening to this have two types of assets - liquid assets and illiquid assets. A liquid asset is cash or anything that can be turned into cash in about 3 days such as publicly traded stocks. Illiquid assets include things like real estate, which clearly cannot be turned into cash -- until now. Our guest today is Matthew Sullivan, founder and CEO of Quantm RE. Matthew and his company have developed a way to turn your equity into cash. You are not refinancing your home, there's no credit check, and once your equity position is established through an appraisal and title work, you are just hours away from cash in your bank account. The company will buy a percentage of your equity at current value and wait for you to sell the house before getting paid back. Does this sound too good to be true? How does the company make money? Surely it's not doing this out of charity. What are the risks to you as a homeowner and what are the risks to the company? I recorded the interview earlier and I've had a little time to think about this and I think it is one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a long time in real estate. Matthew and his team DO make money, but most of the risk is on them. Once you understand your costs and make a plan for the money you will receive that will more than cover those costs, this is something you should consider. Everyone's situation is different and this wouldn't be a great solution for everyone, but on the whole, this is an idea I can get behind. And wait until you hear what they then do with that shared equity. They give the public, you and me, a chance to own some of it. All that is coming up today on Flipping America.

Guest: Matthew Sullivan, Sell a Piece of Your Home Notes from the Interview The company is called QuantmRE. Find them at www.quantmre.com. The idea here is you sell a percentage of the equity in your house. This gets paid back when you sell the house. The concept is known as shared equity and is a way to turn the equity in your home into cash. The shared equity is then tokenized and sold as a crypto-currency -- a digital currency backed by real estate. The coin will be called EQRE. - the Quantm Coin.

Keith, Bakersfield, CA "What is your opinion of flat fee real estate services and the agents that do them?"
James, Boulder, CO "We are looking into buying rental properties in college towns. It won't work here in Boulder with the Air Force Academy, but it seems like a decent idea. Your thoughts?"
Casey, Seattle, WA "I was in a meeting a month ago and someone there had been on your show, so I went looking for it. I can't believe all the great information you are just giving away, but I thank you. I'm really new at this, but my husband and I have some rental properties. They seem to pay for themselves, but I think maybe not quite, when you consider everything. We have 4 houses that together cost us $1.4 million. We get about $6500 per month from them. They are all free and clear with good tenants in good areas. What I don't know is whether they are really a sound investment. They are in Seattle and we believe they will be worth more in a few years than we paid for them."

Leading Great Teams with Jeffrey Davidson Jun 24, 2018

Show notes

FAR 161 Expected Air Date: 06/23/18 Opening For most people Real Estate Investing is a Team Sport. You may not have any employees or if you do they won't be a large number. This is in part by design. We got into this business to get away from the inherently stifling nature of the corporate world. We didn't set out to create another corporate world. We are entrepreneurs. We want to come and go as we please. We want to go to the beach with our spouses and family on Thursday through Sunday. Ok, we want to fly to the Caribbean Thursday and come back Sunday. Or we want to take off and play a couple of golf courses in Alabama on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. Whatever you wanted to do with the time, you mainly want it flexible, so we don't have much in the way of a staff do we? Even though this is true, we STILL have a team. By the time you are working this business full time, you have assembled a team whether you want to admit it or not. You have a Realtor or three, a couple of general contractors, probably have several handymen, plumbers, and electricians on speed dial, you are getting to know a real estate attorney, you have wholesalers, birddogs, VA's and possibly even an employee or two. You have a team. Your team won't all be employees but like any team, it needs to be recruited, managed, and maintained with excellence. And this is where today's guest shines. Jeffrey Davidson is a master team builder, consultant, and all-around helpful guy. He knows some things about real estate investing too, but his focus day in and day out is helping business leaders lead more effectively. Stay tuned because in just a few moments, he's going to lay some wisdom on us all. I'll be asking him for leadership tips and hiring expertise. His company is called Leading Great Teams. He will be along in just a few moments.

Carmen, Tampa, FL "I want to put money into one of your deals, but you never talk about how to do that. How do I do that?
Fred, Brooklyn, NY "Can you explain the concept of remote flipping? I would very much prefer to be flipping houses in more affordable areas."
Carlie, Madison, WI "I have a private lender who wants 15% with no upfront money. He will fund the entire thing. I have a hard money lender who will loan me 85% of my project cost at a rate of 12% but I have to pay 2 points and make a huge down payment. I'm trying to figure out which is the better way to go but I'm stuck. I'm buying the house for 280k. I think I'll sell it for 420 when it's repaired. The rehab budget is $35,000.

Show notes

FAR 160 Expected Air Date: 06/21/18 Opening Looking for an opportunity to get into a real estate business that doesn't require a lot of cash, doesn't have much competition, and can be done remotely without ever leaving your computer? Today Mark Podolsky is going to join us and talk about an opportunity to do just that. You won't have tenants to deal with, you never have to make repairs, the cash flow is about as automated as it gets. It really works and just saying this gets me fired up about it.

Karen, Boston, MA "I found your show on iHeart radio, but then downloaded the app. I haven't found you on the radio here in Boston but I don't even care. The app is great and allows me to listen to all your previous shows. So here's my question. I want to buy a couple of rental properties, but they are around $300,000 to buy a modest home that I could rent for maybe $1800 per month. That rent would cover my principal and interest payment and most of the taxes, but that's it. I think I would have to come out of pocket a bit on these. I have a high paying job and the extra expense isn't a factor. I don't even need the income. I just wanted to build equity. Am I thinking about it the wrong way?"
Keith, Ellijay, GA "Seasonal cabin rental. Yes or no?"
Ashley, Jacksonville, FL "I'm looking at a single family home in a great area that I think will cash flow ok. I have an opportunity with a duplex in an ok, not great area that cash flows even better. How should I make a decision as to which one to buy?"
