JF2366: Using Old-Fashioned Tactics to Find Buyers and Sellers with Frank Iglesias Feb 23, 2021

From the music industry to IT, and then to real estate, Frank has always been fond of receiving education and learning something new. While working in IT, he picked up a few properties on the side. In 2011, he walked away from the corporate world and became a full-time investor.

Back then, he started by utilizing the power of tried and true methods of reaching people such as direct mail and networking. In 2020, people are still happy to share what they do in a casual conversation and get on the phone to discuss a deal, so old tricks do work when used properly.

JF2365: Embracing Mechanical Repairs with Mike Bonadies Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

Like many other real estate investors, Mike started his journey at a corporate 9 to 5 job. His buddy suggested branching out and becoming a landlord. Since then, has Mike grown his portfolio and has now become a property manager. Most of his properties were built before the 1940s, and few construction companies in the area could handle that kind of work. That’s why he opened his own construction company. He now has a nice cash flow coming from these adjacent fields, and his companies are working in synchrony with each other.

JF2364: How To Go From A Commission Chaser To A Problem Solver With John Chin #SkillsetSunday Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

John cut his teeth as a traditional real estate broker. He escaped the “hamster wheel” of chasing sales thanks to a mentor who put him on the fast track to investing. That paradigm shift made him see licensed agents as problem-solvers for homeowners rather than just salespeople.

Now John teaches real estate agents how to leverage their license into creating 8-10 various income streams as opposed to relying on commission alone. In this episode, he talks about his lead intake process that helps licensees make the most out of their leads.

JF2361: The Importance Of Having An Exit Strategy At The Start | Actively Passive Investing Show With Theo Hicks & Travis Watts Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Today Theo and Travis will discuss the importance of thinking about the exit strategy before entering a deal. In a way, this is not the topic that gets covered often since most investors are not thinking ahead far enough. However, selling the asset is a vital part of the investment process.

Travis gives an example of how something that looks like a great buy at first can turn out to be a lemon if nobody wants to take it off your hands. And just because a property is at a great acquisition point, it doesn’t mean that you should jump into the deal.

JF2358: Reaching a Passive Income Goal With Brian Briscoe Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Brian’s first experience with real estate started when he purchased his first house after reading Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. As an active duty Marine, Brian was relocated every couple of years. Every time he moved, he added a new single-family home to his portfolio.

With his latest acquisition being a 167-unit property, he’s finally approaching his income goal and getting ready to retire from the Marine Corps.
