MINISODE How to Powerfully Handle a Lawsuit Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

The work we do comes with so many rewards, right? But with those rewards inevitably come risks. No matter how good you are, you will come face to face with a big fat lawsuit at some point. Yuck! I know! Not the sexiest topic in the world, but these things happen, and when they do, we need to handle them powerfully and intelligently. How would you handle lawsuits? In this episode, we'll break down a couple of ways you can look into it, how it can affect you either positively or negatively, and what we've learned from our own experience. The best way to handle lawsuits is not necessarily to always spend energy to prevent them but to set up protections and strategies before they come as you grow and scale your business. So let's dive in and get into the nitty-gritty to learn how to powerfully handle a lawsuit. Quotes • “One thing I know for sure is that if you are growing your business and your portfolio, pivoting, building teams, dealing with different contractors… you will face a lawsuit at some point. That's just part of doing business.” (1:39 - 2:07) • “The first thing that I will recommend is: you're going to look into asset protection strategies as you grow your business.” (3:07 - 3:13) • “I'm gonna tell you right now that you are not your lawsuit.” (4:12 - 4:16) • “I know this is a big statement to say, but you should celebrate, when you get sued, you should celebrate. Celebrate it from the perspective of, you're playing a big enough game, right? You’re putting yourself in the arena.” (8:41 - 8:58) • “I think that the most important thing is honoring the other person and seeing the other person and not making the other person the wrong person and you're the right one; but honoring the human beings that are interacting here.” (11:39 - 11:54) • “Look at it as the cost of doing business. It’s the cost of doing business. There's no emotion right there… Just move along, move forward, and learn the lesson, ladies.” (14:16 - 14:33) 3 DAY VIRTUAL EVENT on Dec. 6th, 7th and 8th!

Wholesaling & Flipping 50 Deals in 3 Years with No Experience with Arvi Carkanji Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

When you get into the real estate space with no experience but tons of determination, it’s a recipe for some incredible lessons to be learned along the way if you can adjust and move forward. Originally from Albania, Arvi Carkanji started investing in real estate right out of college after finding out about it, and no matter the missteps never looked back. She bought her first flip in 2019, renovated it, sold it and broke even. She then got a 2nd flip and a 3rd one, in which she ended up house hacking. After 3 years of wholesaling and flipping deal after deal, Arvi, and her fiancé, realized that they were 50 deals in without having started with any experience! Since then, Arvi took her experience and started laying the foundation to scale her business, Money Making Duo, focusing on marketing and creating wealth for others. She now has a team of 10 people who play crucial roles in the company. In this episode, we're going to break down every lesson Arvi learned into actionable steps that will help you scale! So tune in and learn from her journey of wholesaling and flipping 50 deals in 3 years with no experience. Quotes • “I was like, you know what, I can do this. Whatever comes my way, I'm just gonna handle it.” (12:46 - 12:50) • “The first thing that I learned is that I'm not good with contractors or handling budgets, you know, and inspections and all this other stuff. So I was like, I need somebody to help me do all of this.” (14:20 - 14:30) • “So the main thing I did when it came to - alright, like this is serious, stop with all the BS; is to have a central system to handle all my leads.” (21:35 - 21:45) • “Whether it's cold calling, or direct mail, or whatever it is, just be consistent in that. Whether it's 100 leads that you're calling a day or a week, just keep doing it, don't stop doing it, because that's going to convert into deals.” (26:43 - 26:57) • “I always consider marketing as like the bloodline of the business and sales is like your brain. The two can not function without each other.” (29:08 - 29:15) • “Hiring is so very crucial for your company and part of the foundation. If you have everything else in place, but you have the wrong person in the wrong position, it's still gonna cost you money.” (35:53 - 36:05) Connect with Arvi Carkanji: IG: @arvi.carkanji Website: https://moneymakingduo.com/ Book recommendation: The E-Myth Real Estate Agent The Simplifier-Multiplier 3 DAY VIRTUAL EVENT on Dec. 6th, 7th, and 8th!

MINISODE How to Transition from Small to Large Multifamily Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

Are you looking to scale from that Duplex to something bigger? That 10 Unit to a 100 Unit? You’re not alone! For those who want to scale, you need to learn how to take the strategic shifts from small to large Multifamily. This is a massive topic, but I promise you that you’re going to walk away from this episode with some powerful takeaways that you’ll be able to put into action right away! With that, we’ll start by honing in on the three buckets of Multifamily: small, medium, and large. We’ll define them first and then break down the mindset we need to use within each one and then how your focus needs to change from one to the other. Jump into the episode and learn how to transition from small to large Multifamily. Quotes • “There are things that we think about when we're buying 100 units that we don't think about when we're buying a duplex.” (3:17 - 3:22) • “You have to make sure from a financial perspective that you're setting yourself up for success… It's really important that things make sense, as is, in my opinion, rather than losing money.” (4:06 - 4:26) • “If you're starting to get in the realm of like 25 units. Visibility! That is something that that renter is going to want to see or want to know. Is it easy to get to?” (5:30 - 5:38) • “The last point I want to make here with the middle, the medium, is, are there strong property managers in the area that you're looking to buy?” (6:18 - 6:25) • “You don't think about competition when you're buying a two-unit, but you do need to think about it very, very, very much so when you're buying larger units… because you are competing against every other building like yours.” (8:20 - 8:31) • “The value-add play in a larger unit, because there are more units, is going to make a more significant difference on your net operating income.” (9:19 - 9:25) BLACK FRIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON!!!

So in other words, $100,000 is becoming $318,000 with this closing. It's just insane how well this property has done through COVID. And the reason is the community activity.” (21:38 - 21:55) • “As an immigrant, I came here with two suitcases and an $8 a week food budget, and I got a scholarship to attend school, which is why I was able to afford living here.” (25:52 - 26:01) • “ So in terms of the starting from rags to riches kind of concept, I think the mindset is the most important thing.

MINISODE How to Create a Self Care Habit That Sticks Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

One of the three pillars we hold nearest and dearest to our hearts is the pillar of self-care. We need to be taking care of ourselves as women. Duh, right?! We all know that. But the more I continue down my journey through independence, the more I realize that there is a gap between the ‘knowing’ and the ‘doing.’ It’s something we all know we need, but it’s not that simple. To have a healthy ‘self-care life,’ it takes creating habits that stay with us even when we’re not thinking about them. In this episode, we want to talk about the four buckets of self-care (mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual) and the habits to put in place to honor those four areas. So give yourself a little break, take a breather, and dive into the conversation as we unpack how to create a self-care habit that sticks. Quotes • “Self care just doesn't happen by itself… It doesn't just happen without an intention, a really clear intention.” (2:55 - 3:04) • “It's not outside of us. It's really something we want to feel more - that we're taking care of ourselves. we feel more present, you're more joyful, we feel more happy, we feel like we're creating this financial independence and this financial freedom in a way that is calm and is connected to what we're up to in our purpose.” (3:54 - 4:14) • “Are you, on a daily basis, aware of how you feel and mindful of how you feel? And are you able to course correct when it's not serving you?” (6:24 - 6:35) • “Be present to what's going on today in every conversation, with everyone you have. I don't have to be perfect. I might get a little triggered in different ways for different things, but just be aware.” (9:38 - 9:43) • “Something that I've done, that's been helpful as a habit… I've been having a scheduled time to think… For me, scheduling that time to literally ask myself and check in with myself has been really helpful. (11:04 - 11:39) • “What is the area for you that if you created a new habit on a weekly basis, it would create a lot more balance for yourself?” (12:07 - 12:14) Your Voice Matters.

MINISODE How to Comfortably Ask for Help Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

A lot of women in our community struggle asking for help, and I’ll be the first to raise my hand and say that I find it hard to ask for help in different areas of my business and even in my life. This is not a rookie issue. Even the most seasoned investors struggle with the mindset that asking for help is somehow a sign of weakness or lack of capability. Here’s the thing, by accepting this mindset, we are missing out on a huge opportunity to leverage our time, money and energy all while expediting the process of achieving whatever our goal is. We all have those areas that are tough for us, and I want to encourage you that, number one, you are not alone, and number two, we have some practical tips that will help you break that barrier. So dive into today’s Minisode and take a walk with us as we talk about three ways to comfortably ask for help. Quotes • “A lot of women in our community struggle asking for help. And I can certainly raise my hand and say that I struggle asking for help in different areas of my business and in my life. (01:18-01:31) • “We are inheriting a mindset where it says, ‘well, asking for help is a sign of a weakness, or it will show other people that we are not capable of doing things.’ And that is a mindset of limitation.” (2:16-2:33) • “Asking for help, will get you further quickly… [It] might save you time, might save you money, might save you mistakes; partner up with somebody that already does what you're looking to do.” (2:46-3:07) • “Consciously asking for help is a sign that you are indeed capable and able to do something but you choose to leverage your time, your experience, your skill set.” (3:58-4:09) • “The impact of you asking for help, is that you will allow other people to ask for help as well.” (5:24-5:34) • “For me to play out my best life, if you will, and continually get refined there, it's inevitable: You have to leverage people's time, it's inevitable. You're going to need help in so many different ways in so many different areas.” (08:38-08:49) Your Voice Matters. We appreciate your feedback and would like to hear from you.

Navigating Her First Year in Real Estate Investing with Sara Gair Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

What did your first year in real estate investing look like for you? Do you remember the rush? What would you have done differently? Today we have a special treat because our guest, Sara Gair, is a real estate investor who has just finished her first year - and WOW has she already done some incredible things. When the Pandemic hit, Sara and her husband went all in on real estate investing. They even postponed their wedding and used the time to supercharge their real estate investing journey despite the constraints of COVID. As friends and family watched Sara’s journey, many reached out asking if they could invest with her. She has since automated a lot of the business and slowed down investing in SF properties and flips to focus on wholesaling and apartment complexes. Sara’s story is so unique because instead of focusing on just one strategy, she employs flipping, wholesaling, and rentals as potential exit strategies to land great deals! As a young, female entrepreneur with a degree in mechanical engineering; Sara is not afraid of being a woman in a “man’s” business. Within just one year, she has already learned so many lessons that have set her up for success. Whether you’re new to investing or a seasoned veteran, Sara’s journey will inspire and motivate you as we dive into her first year in real estate investing and get into all the lessons she’s learned, what she would have done differently, and what she does now to set herself up for success on a daily basis. Quotes • “When COVID hit we were working from home, it was like right now it's just - it's too good of a time, we have opportunities throughout the day at lunchtime or like right after work… So, at that point, I started getting my real estate license.” (9:59 - 10:16) • “Having multiple exit strategies makes it much easier for us. Because if one charter doesn't work, three different things are in our toolkit that we can pull from.” (13:33 - 13:39) • “My biggest regret, something I really wish I knew, was how do I have multiple exit strategies? And the thing I always say is just don't leave deals on the table, if it's a good deal… there's so many people out there who are willing to help.” (15:49 - 16:06) •”It's a little scary at first using someone else's money, but it makes it so you can scale way more quickly, and then at that point, it's really just how many deals can you find?” (21:32 - 21:39) •”Just jump in, right, you can definitely get into this analysis paralysis and just not move forward. But just jump in and kind of take a leap… For me, it was like once I knew how to run the numbers, if it's a good deal, we're going to do it.” (25:53 - 26:06) •”It really is nice to be able to run my own business and just have multiple opportunities. And COVID really showed me I want to have those opportunities because I'm replaceable at work, and I don't want to have to depend on somebody else besides myself and my husband.” (36:00- 36:14) Connect with Sara Gair: IG: @gair.realestate Your Voice Matters.

MINISODE How to Vet a Real Estate Accountant Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

Getting a Real Estate Accountant on your team is absolutely vital to the success of your business. They provide you financial wisdom and they help take some work of that full plate of yours. BUT, not all accountants are alike and we need to be equipped to know how to pick the right fit for our businesses. Take it from me, I’m on my fourth, yes FOURTH, accountant, because I just didn’t know what I didn’t know. When I finally smartened up and found the right person, not only did he help us, he cleaned up our past tax returns and we actually got money back! So what kinds of conversations are you having with your accountant? Do they actually give you valuable insights and strategies on your numbers? Are the majority of their client base even real estate investors? In this episode, me and Andressa will break down the questions we believe will help you, not only vet your accountant, but avoid major pitfalls as you scale your business and evolve with your team! Quotes • “I would say, out of everyone on your team, your accountant… I would even say your accountant over your attorney… is one of THE most important people that you have on your team.” (01:23-01:38) • “Honestly I’d rather work with someone who the majority of their client base (and you want to ask them this) actually are real estate investors.” (4:46-4:49) • “Do they own property…? I really want to see that they have in their wherewithal and their experience, that it matches in some way.” (7:44-8:12) • “Do they have experience with other real estate investors…? If they’re like, ‘Oh, we work with everyone, we help everybody, it’s the same thing, really doesn’t matter,’ it does!

Inside the Brilliant Mind of the #1 Commercial Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform's Founder with Jilliene Helman Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

“We don't yell if people make mistakes. We want them to take risks, we want them to try things,” says Jilliene Helman, Founder and CEO of RealtyMogul. Jilliene has loved real estate since she was a little girl and always knew she wanted to go into the “money business.” After getting rejected from a handful of real estate related jobs, Jilliene decided to start her own real estate company. She compiled her experience from banking, past family real estate investments, and copious amounts of research to create a real estate company with a clear mission: helping individual investors live the lives of their dreams by generating wealth through real estate. Now, Jilliene’s company, RealtyMogul has achieved impressive success and was recently named the #1 Commercial Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform by Motley Fool. On today’s episode, Jilliene shares her wisdom on finding your niche in real estate. She explains that there is a subset of real estate for everyone. If you like design, Jilliene suggests looking into Airbnb where you can decorate your property to your taste. If you like math, you can focus on one piece of the market that tailors to your specific mathematical interests. Her advice is to make money, but also to fill your life and career path with something that is deeply fulfilling and that caters to your natural strengths. Tune into today’s episode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show for a conversation with Jilliene Helman about why real estate is one of the best asset classes available to individual investors, the politics behind real estate, and the importance of self-care for career-focused women. Then, be sure to check out Jilliene’s features as an expert on startups and real estate on Bloomberg, CNBC, The New York Times, and Yahoo! Finance and Entrepreneur. Quotes • “So the mission has never changed. How we accomplish that mission has changed, but I wouldn't say that I had it all perfectly mapped out. You know, just things evolve, right? And you learn and things change.” (12:45-12:57) • “So, it's a very scary time to be investing right now. And the reasons are that we've really never experienced an economy like this before. Like, we should have seen a market downturn during COVID. And it didn't happen.” (15:42-15:50) • “There's real risk in real estate investing.” (22:48-22:51) • “One of our core values in the company is to own it.” (27:11-27:15) • “I think that people need to figure out what is their strength, how can they play to that strength and what's their end goal and then by figuring out your strength and your end goal combine those two together and figure out the vertical within real estate that's going to be the most fun.” (37:15-37:15) • “I’m Jewish, and one of the things that has become more and more impactful to me as I get older is like taking time off for Shabbat, like Friday nights, I'm like off my phone, and I'm having dinner with family.” (48:04-48:11) Connect with Jilliene Helman: Website: https://www.realtymogul.com/ IG: @realty_mogul FB: https://www.facebook.com/RealtyMogul Twitter: @Realty_Mogul LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/realty-mogul Your Voice Matters.
