EP390 These Teens Control Over 80 Units of Real Estate Investments With Eric, Lila, Deven & Ethan Wohlwend Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

I have the pleasure today of interviewing a unique and fascinating family of real estate investors.

I'll start with Deven who is 16 years old and controls over 45 units. He published his first book when he was 11 and has spoken in front of live audiences across the country.

His brother Ethan is only 13 but just as impressive. He controls 40 units and also published a #1 book when he was 12.

Both boys acquired their properties without using any money or credit from their parents.

Speaking of their parents, Eric and Lila Wohlwend have been investing for 2 decades and control hundreds of single and multi-family residential properties, as well as oil wells, crypto, and precious metals. They've spoken to audiences around the world and have published two #1 bestselling books.

I've been looking forward to this conversation ever since we met at the RPOA annual conference last February.

EP389 This Out-Of-Work Actor Built a $35 Million Self-Storage Portfolio in Three Years With Cameron Barsanti Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

Three years ago, my guest was an out-of-work actor who had just lost his wife's savings on a feature film that he produced. He was collecting unemployment and had a second child on the way. He had very little money in the bank, and the situation couldn't have been more dire.

So how did Cameron Barsanti go from that down-on-his-luck actor to building a $35 million portfolio of self-storage facilities?

Today, Cameron is going to tell us how he created a system to acquire ten self-storage facilities across four states by cold-calling mom-and-pop owners. He'll also talk about his first acquisition, an unpermitted 3-unit on an island in Texas where his main tenant became addicted to crack cocaine during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cameron has a lot of great stories to share, both about his time in the entertainment industry and his transition into real estate investing.

EP388 How to Master Relationship-Based Negotiations for Buying Off-Market Properties With Jeff Stephens Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

Many of us have been in competitive buying situations with multiple offers on the table for that one special property. It's never fun to lose out to another buyer, and today's guest has figured out a way to bypass that process all-together.

Jeff Stephens specializes in relationship-based negotiations and prefers to buy his properties off-market and directly from sellers.

Jeff believes you need to 'solve the person, before you solve the deal', and today he's going to show us how that works.

Jeff is also the founder of "The Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneur" and the host of the popular podcast "Racking Up Rentals".

Today Jeff describes how he creates seller financing notes that allow him to substitute the collateralization. That way he can sell the property and still keep the note with the terms he negotiated intact. This might sound confusing at first, but trust me, this is a concept you need to understand. It certainly was an eye-opener for me!

What's new in short-term rentals? According to AirDNA bookings are up, but so are the number of rentals available. More competition means less profit to go around. Investors who rushed in without a plan are now second-guessing their decisions.

Al Williamson is the world's first landlord scientist and an expert on extended stay Airbnbs—meaning he is a thought leader on furnished rentals that are available on a monthly basis.

Al was also our featured speaker at the annual RPOA Conference where he presented on extended stay rentals.

Kate Stoermer, The CEO Host. Kate is an Airbnb Superhost and VRBO Premier Host, who owns and manages her own portfolio and manages for others. She is experienced with partnerships, private money lending, and has analyzed hundreds of deals.
