What She Has Learned From Operating Over 2000 Multifamily Units with Arleen Garza Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

“We look at markets that have good job growth, good population growth and that are landlord-friendly. Those three things are key,” says Arleen Garza, Principal at Real Estate Equity Partners. Arleen tells us that real estate investment doesn’t have to be overly complex; instead, it’s all about finding a formula, repeating what works and revising what doesn’t. It is this approach that has launched Arleen to success as a multifamily syndicator, allowing her to thrive even when times got tough during the COVID pandemic. Over the years, Arleen has passively invested in over 3,500 doors and currently owns and manages over 2,000 doors. Her wealth of knowledge in the industry is a goldmine for listeners, whether they are looking to get started in real estate investment or to up their existing real estate investment game. Arleen explains that her willingness to build lasting relationships with brokers, her intentional awareness of market competitors, and her drive to go above and beyond for her residents have all been major contributors to her success. Tune into today’s episode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show for a conversation about the most impactful takeaways Arleen has gleaned from operating over 2000 multifamily units. Learn how to find and perfect an investment formula, the best ways to discover off-market deals, and why building a team that will support your growth is the key to your success. Quotes • “What I found was that you just stick with it, you go back to what you know, you find the people that can fill in the gaps on what you don’t know, and you just keep moving forward.” (10:50-11:00) • “There is a formula, there are basics to this process, and if you follow them, then you’re going to do fine. Real estate is an asset that’s very tangible. You can touch it, you can see it and, in terms of multi-family, they don’t build B and Cs anymore. They’re building Class A properties. (11:45-12:04) • “We look at markets that have good job growth and good population growth and that are landlord-friendly. Those three things are key.” (17:20-17:30) • “We distributed grocery bags full of food to people because that’s the right thing to do, and that was our way to show our residents that they truly do matter to us for more than just paying the rent.” (20:42-20:55) • “During the time that nothing was happening, I took advantage of that time to talk to these brokers. ‘How are you doing? Are you going to be ok?’ Because their income was impacted, right?” (25:03-25:11) • “If you’re new to this business, one: find a mentor, find somebody who has done this repeatedly, who has a good track record, a demonstrated track record. And then find a co-sponsor. Find someone that has also done it before, that knows the pitfalls and that can also be a good way to get you in the door with these brokers.” (33:26-33:50) • “During COVID, we never shut our doors…. Instead, we took the approach of training our team on how to do their jobs safely. And so, that’s part of the reason why our NOI grew and our occupancy grew because we kept taking care of the residents. We didn’t stop.” (44:11-44:33) Connect with Arleen Garza: https://reepequity.com/ arleen@arleengarza.com How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves.

MINISODE How to Get Over the Fear of Using Other People’s Money Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

How do you build the confidence you need to work with private money partners? According to host Liz Faircloth, that’s the million dollar question. In an industry where women are overly cautious, it can be challenging to overcome the fears associated with using other people's money in your deals. In today’s minisode, Liz shares six strategies to overcome fear and build confidence when it comes to using other people’s money. We know that education is critical in anything we do. However, Liz often sees women overeducating themselves on topics like private money. To simplify the process, Liz shares several topics that women should be focusing on when it comes to learning about private money partners, including the difference between debt and equity and how active or passive your lenders need to be. In addition, knowing your market and your niche inside and out will naturally build your confidence and make it easier to answer the questions private lenders tend to ask. Tune into this week’s minisode to learn more about Liz’s six surefire ways to build the confidence you need to incorporate private money partners into your deals. Quotes • “So how do you build your confidence? That’s the million dollar question. And how do you do it in a way that doesn’t take 10 years?” (2:58-3:04) • “Equity can be a great tool and so can debt, but you need to know the differences, and you need to know the differences between active and passive as you’re educating yourself.” (04:46- 04:54) • “If you're not confident in your area, you’re not confident raising private money, you’re not confident in the team, of course you're going to have a ton of fear….So, you want to mitigate your risk and you want to make sure you’re educated and you know your market inside and out.” (05:14-05:30) • “You don't need to know everything, but you need to know enough to speak about it confidently and also to present deals to private money partners.” (05:50-06:00) How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) The Real Estate InvestHER Membership Our Membership focuses on three pillars: Real Estate Investing, Business Strategies, and Self-Care.

Show notes

By living with intention, Jonna successfully made the transition from stay-at-home mom to top-producing real estate agent and investor.

Learn about the benefits of delayed gratification, the perks of being an information sponge, and why authentic self-worth must come from within. Quotes • “I call it an inkling – and I want every woman to pay attention to that – that little voice in the back of their head, the ‘what-ifs.’ And that’s when I started thinking about real estate investing, when push came to shove and we needed to do something.” (9:36-9:50) • “[The process has required] intention and making concerted choices, really intentional choices like driving old cars at the beginning, staying in the little house we had bought to be a rental….We stayed in that home for nine years, so we could continue to invest in other properties while we stayed small from a personal perspective.” (11:04-11:30) • “I kept intentionally surrounding myself with those that had gone a lot further than I had and were pushing me. I had real estate coaches along the way, I had mentors along the way, top agents that I became friends with….It just gives you a belief like, ‘Oh my gosh, if they can do it, I can do it, and I can succeed.’” (18:41-19:00) • “As women, we feel like we’re not worthy until we’ve reached a certain amount or a certain level, and that is so not true. We are worthy.” (25:10-25:20) Connect with Jonna Weber: https://www.jonnaweber.com/ How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) InvestHER Community on Facebook We have thousand of members in our Facebook InvestHER Community (and growing!)

Show notes

Are you flipping a house or taking on a project using the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) Method? According to your host Andresa Guidelli, there are several things that you need to consider in order to do this successfully. In today’s minisode, Andresa shares her top 4 tips for running successful and profitable projects. First and foremost, vetting your contractors is essential. In today’s hot market, it is crucial to build and maintain relationships with contractors at all times, not just when you need work completed. Once you have decided which contractors you intend to work with, make sure that you have the proper documentation including: scope of work, finishes list, scheduling, and a payment plan. Completing a project successfully doesn’t just require reliable contractors; it includes you, too! It is vital that you manage your projects thoroughly. Andresa reminds listeners that this is a learning process. Reflect on your past mistakes and use them to inform and increase your future earning potential. Tune into this week’s minisode to learn more about how your projects can yield profit! Quotes • “It's always been important to build relationships with general contractors at all times, not just when you need it.” (03:04- 03:12) • “Meet the contractors at their job sites, not yours. Because at their job site you will know exactly how they will run your project.” (03:39- 03:49) • “You or somebody on the team needs to be able to manage the project. Do not expect your general contractor to manage the project for you, it can only be you. You are the owner so you need to take responsibility.” (09:05-09:20) • “Learn your lessons, otherwise they are going to come back.” (10:38-10:41) • “All experiences are lessons. There is no such thing as failure or bad or good, it's all lessons and it is up to you to learn it.” (10:58- 11:06) How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) The Real Estate InvestHER Membership Our Membership focus on three pillars: Real Estate Investing, Business Strategies, and Self-Care.

MINISODE How to Build a Powerhouse Team Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to building a team, most people jump straight into finding the people they want to work with. However, according to hosts Liz Faircloth and Andresa Guidelli, there are actually several steps that you should take BEFORE beginning your search. Whether you are looking to hire a partner or an intern, you need to begin the process by looking within yourself. On today’s minisode, Liz explains that mapping out your goals and taking a personal inventory are crucial as you look to build out your team. You can’t find the “who” if you don’t know where you’re headed! Once you have a clear definition of where you are and what you bring to the table, you can better identify what kind of person you need to bring on. Contrary to popular belief, you will want to hire someone who is quite different from you. According to Liz, diversity is the most important quality a successful team can have. Find someone who can fill the gaps in your business, and you will achieve your goals exponentially quicker. Tune into this week’s minisode to learn more about the steps you need to take in order to build your dream team! Quotes • “A team can be a partnership, it can be a VA, a team can be an intern. It doesn't have to be high-paid employees.” (01:30-1:40) • “You really can't figure out who to bring onto your team if you don’t know where you’re going and what you want to accomplish.”(02:31-02:37) • "Determine who you need to fit your gaps and meet your goals. Those are the two things that a team member should be able to provide.” (07:21-7:28) • “If you have to think about one thing to make a team successful or not, it’s actually diversity of personalities because when you bring people together that are different, the goals are achieved much faster.” (9:05-9:15) How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) InvestHER Community on Facebook We have thousand of members in our Facebook InvestHER Community (and growing!)

Traveling the US in Your RV with April Crossley Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

“If you want to know how much you’re working in your business, leave your business,” says April Crossley, Owner of Crossley Properties, LLC. April flips and wholesales between 20 and 30 houses a year, owns a portfolio of small multifamily rental properties in Berks County, PA and is a private lender, who invests as an LP and a GP on large multifamily projects across the US. In an attempt to achieve more freedom within her many roles and responsibilities, April recently took her own advice and began traveling across the US full-time in her RV with her husband and dog. Many entrepreneurs may be apprehensive about taking this kind of leap, especially given the demands of their business. However, April explains that it’s crucial to work out the areas in your business where you can delegate to others, especially when it comes to tasks that don’t bring you joy. April didn’t jump in head first; instead, she tested the waters by snowbirding for several years. Once she had identified the areas of her business where she could outsource work to others, who could get it done more efficiently and effectively, only then did she finally take the plunge into traveling full-time. Tune into this week’s episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Show for a conversation with April about finding freedom in your real estate role. Learn about the seven Fs that April focuses on to maximize her happiness, how finding a reliable business partner has allowed April to travel with confidence, and why actively educating yourself on the trends within your industry will always get you where you need to go. Quotes • “If you want to know how much you’re working in your business, leave your business.” (9:15-9:18) • “If I just focus on my strengths and what I’m good at and what I love doing, the business is going to grow even more than trying to force myself to do something I don't like. So really, if it causes me pain or I’m not good at it, I try to get it off my plate.” (12:15-12:29) • “You can learn a lot about somebody just by asking about their family, their career, [what they] do for fun. Let them talk and tell stories about their life, and their core values start coming out...and you can tell if they’re going to be a good fit for you or not.” (17:37-17:55) • “The more you focus on your gifts and strengths, the more you’re going to flourish. And if you bring in someone that has gifts and strengths that balance out yours, you’re just going to flourish twice as fast.” (19:38-19:49) • “If you want to get in great physical shape, it’s not like you’re just going to walk into the gym and transform into this completely ripped, muscular person. It takes work. So people get frustrated and tell me, ‘Well, I’m not finding any deals, and it’s so hard right now, and there’s a million people out there buying houses'....You have a choice. You can sit back and do nothing or you can prepare for when the time is right. One is going to propel you forward and one is going to get you nowhere.” (38:15-38:48) Connect with April Crossley: Website: https://www.crossleypropertygroup.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/april_crossley/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aprilcrossley How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) InvestHER Community on Facebook We have thousand of members in our Facebook InvestHER Community (and growing!)

MINISODE How to Find a Mentor That Sticks Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

One of the questions that gets asked most frequently in the real estate community is, “How do I find a mentor?” However, this might not be the right question to ask. On today’s minisode, co-host Andresa Guidelli will pose a different question to listeners: Are you ready for a mentor? By asking yourself this question instead, you will ensure that you are clear on what kind of mentor you are looking for, what goals you need help attaining, and what you can bring to the table in the mentor-mentee relationship. Tune into this week’s minisode to learn more about preparing yourself for a mentoring relationship and finding the right mentor for you and your goals. Quotes • “The question that I want you to answer is, ‘Am I ready for a mentor?’...because the mentor will show up when you are ready.” (1:46-2:00) • “If you’re not ready to get out of your comfort zone, if you want a mentor that keeps you comfortable, you might as well not have a mentor because you’re going to waste people’s time.” (5:50-6:04) • “Listen to what the mentor needs, not just what your needs are. It’s like a puzzle: if it’s not a match, it’s not a match. You can say, ‘I can do X, Y and Z.’ Is that what the other person needs?” (7:12-7:27) • “You can get the support you need without a mentor….Sometimes one-on-one is the only thing you’re seeing, but you also are able to have mentors in group settings….Even if you are not in the hot seat, you learn so much by watching other people like you going through the process of explaining their challenges and getting them resolved.” (7:57-8:42) How To Join the InvestHER Movement  1) The Real Estate InvestHER Podcast - The weekly show details the journey of some of the most amazing women real estate investors around the world, who open up their lives and share practical and strategic tools for growing a rental portfolio, flipping houses and the mindset that allows them to run a successful investing business while taking care of their families and most importantly taking care of themselves. • Subscribe via Itunes • Subscribe via Android • Subscribe via Stitcher 2) InvestHER Community on Facebook We have thousand of members in our Facebook InvestHER Community (and growing!)
