Lane Kawaoka is my guest on this week's episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast. Lane is a full-time engineer but also loves to invest in real estate.

We also talk about what his current goals and how he is changing his investing strategy.

119 Hard Money Loans for Fix and Flips with Ben Shaevitz Sep 20, 2017

Show notes

I have gotten two hard money loans in my 16 year career as a real estate investor. Both of those loans I obtained this year from Ben Shaevitz with Patch of Land. I shy away from hard money loans because of the high rates, hoops you must jump through, and length of time it can take to get the loan. However, I worked with Patch of Land because they were able to eliminate many of those difficulties. The thing that really helped me out was they did not require a full appraisal to get the loan completed. Not only did they lend to me without an appraisal, they were able to complete one loan in less than a week, which helped me get a deal I may not have been able to get otherwise. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk with Ben about Patch of Land, how how he got started in the business, and why I decided to finally use hard money.

118 Flipping Houses, Buying Apartments, and Selling as an Agent with Tyler Sheff Sep 14, 2017

Show notes

Tyler Sheff has seen a lot in his real estate career. He started flipping houses in his early twenties and was very successful before the housing crash. Tyler also held some properties as rentals and eventually sold his properties before the crash, which caused him to incur a huge tax bill. Tyler decided there had to be a better way to invest in real estate, so he started buying apartment buildings after the housing crash and held more of his properties instead of selling them. Tyler eventually got his real estate license and started his own podcast that discusses real estate investing. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast, I talk with Tyler about his career and what he has learned over the years.

Kathy Fettke has seen a lot of ups and downs in the real estate market while living in San Francisco. She has bought rentals in San Francisco, but it can be really tough when almost every property costs more than one million dollars. After a health scare with her husband, she knew she had to find a way to create passive income while living in one of the most expensive markets in the United States. She has learned to buy rentals and even develop land in other markets to create that passive income and wealth. Kathy has also become an expert at helping others invest in other markets for cash flow. She tells us all about how she got started in the real estate business, how she built passive income in the face of a crisis, and how she helps others build more cash flow from markets across the country.

116 Successful Flipper, Landlord, and Agent Shannon Denniston Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast, I interview Shannon Denniston. Shannon has been an extremely successful real estate investor, entrepreneur, and real estate agent.

After making a lot of money and paying a lot of income taxes, Shannon’s accountant told him to buy rentals. He started buying rentals, became a real estate agent, and now is even flipping houses.

115 How much Money do you Need to Invest in Real Estate? Aug 23, 2017

Show notes

One of the biggest roadblocks to investing in real estate is getting the money to buy houses. I get a lot of questions about how people can find the money to invest with, but the first question you should ask is how much money will you need. Once you know exactly how much money you need to invest in real estate, it becomes much easier to get that money and actually buy a house. You will also need varying amounts of money depending on what kind of real estate investing you do. Flipping, renting, wholesaling will all take different amounts of money, and the type of property you buy will also make a difference when trying to figure out how money you will need as well. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk about how much money you will need to invest in different types of real estate using different strategies.

114 How to Become a Successful Real Estate Agent with Aaron Hendon Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

Real estate agents can make a lot of money, and have a lot of freedom. It can also be very tough getting started as an agent. Many real estate agents do not sell a house or make any money for months after they get their license. It can take some agents years to learn the best way to generate business, and some agents never figure it out. On today's podcast I speak with Aaron Hendon who is one of the top real estate agents in Seattle. He tells us what it took for him to become success, how long it took, what he does to find leads, and also gives some tips for investors and other buyers who are looking to buy properties.

113 How to Repair Rental Properties and House Flips Aug 10, 2017

Show notes

Buying Rentals and flips can be an awesome opportunity to make money. However, buying the property is only one step of the process, you usually have to repair properties as well. Even if you buy rental properties that are in perfect shape, you will have to repair them at some point after you run into some less than stellar tenants. I have 15 rental properties and 14 active fix and flips right now. There is a big difference in the way I repair my flips versus my rentals. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I go into how I repair my properties, and what other investors should look out for when buying houses that need work.

Show notes

Hard money loans are a great option for real estate investors who want to flip houses. However, there are many different types of hard money lenders and many different types of hard money loans. In the past hard money was extremely expensive, but competition has driven the cost down in recent years. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk with Dan Leyden, who is a founding partner of Asset Based Lending. Dan talks about the different types of hard money available, rates, terms, how to finance repairs, who can qualify, and he also talks about his company and how they lend hard money.

111 Should you Invest in a Hot Real Estate Market? Jul 28, 2017

Show notes

The real estate market has been crazy in Colorado. Median prices in my town have jumped from $110,000 to $280,000 in 5 or 6 years. My town has some of the lowest prices in the area! With real estate prices increasing so fast, I decided to stop buying residential rental properties and focus more on flipping. There were a number of reasons I stopped buying rentals, but the biggest one was that I would not cash flow on properties anymore. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk about the current real estate market. How crazy it is in Colorado, how the rest of the United States is doing, how you should invest in a crazy market, and why you cannot use national trends to decide how to invest locally.
