He is designing communities that lift people up toward a life of hope, purpose, and happiness.Practical Revolution brings vulnerable individuals who are coming thru and out of serious trauma into the embrace of wraparound support services and healing housing. They also help facilitate intentional healthy community and relationships. All for a fraction of the cost of current permanent supportive housing, in a rapidly scalable platform.Radical Affordability These homes are radically affordable. We are budgeting for rents as low as $300/month all in non-subsidized for an SRO unit. The current developments are coming online for between $50,000 and $70,000 per door all in even after purchasing land and full infrastructure build-out. With sponsored land, cooperative utility companies, and helpful planning and zoning authorities, they can do even better. At this cost, they are able to quickly scale to a meaningful number of homes in a short time frame. Hundreds or even thousands of units built in months, not decades. #ADU #communityfirst #modularhome #prefab #realestate #AI #realestateAI  #threeDrealestate #factoryhomes #transitionalhousing #homeless #affordablehousing

Meet Rebecca Moller, founder and creator of SYmbiHom, the garage ADU kit!Cities need to meet RHNA mandates. Institutions and corporations need to ensure that workforce housing is available to attract and retain young talent and to grow. Homeownership is unaffordable for the average earner.An aging population needs to age in place with income to assist them.In California, one in three homeowners and renters are cost-burdened, spending > 50% of their income on housing. 3.5 million market rate and affordable housing units are needed in California alone. New multi-family construction cannot meet demand. Workers cannot afford to live near work and half of our aging population needs an income subsidy. Increased land cost, land use laws, permitting, development processes, and rising construction costs have slowed the rate at which traditional new residential density can be built. In short, demand outweighs supply—most notably in metro areas where a lack of affordable housing has forced workers far away from their employers. The Solution: convert existing garages into living spaces. and have an easy-to-implement kit to do it. That's SYmbiHom! An efficient, green housing solution and fast track to creating workforce housing in the neighborhoods they serve. Rebecca is passionate about creating housing and in scaling this solution from the 80 kits that have been sold in 2022 to 4,000 kits in 2026.https://www.symbihom.com/Phone: (510) 930-8900Email: info@SYMBiHOM.com#affordablehousing #investmentproperty #Rebecca Moller #athenapaquette

 Reverse 1031 Exchanges With Bill Exeter, CEO of Exeter CompaniesYou want to upgrade your property and get better cash flow BUT you don't want to sell your current building before finding your up-leg property . This is the constant dilemma of what comes first. Why you want to find the property first:·         Your departing property is easy to sell but the new one is not as easy to find and buy.·         You don't want to buy under the pressure of the 45-day time clock ticking on the identification period.·         You don't want to pick something just because time ran out. ·         Sellers don't want contingent offers even in the commercial area. Sometimes the great deal shows up when you least expect it and you have to move FAST to get it – no time to market and sell the old property. How do you buy that one first and still qualify for a 1031 exchange?Enter the Reverse 1031 Exchange! And there are 2 ways to do them. Join us as we discuss the 2 ways to BUY NOW and SELL Later using the Reverse Exchange, unless you have a ton of cash, you will be glad to know that we will also discuss how to finance the whole thing. Bill Exeter has been in the financial services industry for over 40 years.  He has administered, in excess of, 125,000 1031 Exchange transactions, is one of the founding members of the 1031 Exchange industry's trade association, the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, and has administered thousands of Self-Directed IRAs and Individual 401(k) Plans and Custody/Investment Accounts during his extensive career.#reverse1031exchange   #billexeter    #athenapaquette

Rent to Retire Knoxville, TN, Mike Weatherford Story.Is Knoxville a Good Place to invest? Listen to Mike's story in why he moved to Knoxville, TN.Have you ever dreamed of getting out of the rat race and golfing all day, being by the beach, or even hiking in the mountains? Or maybe a combo of all 3?Years ago my parents were wanting to snow-bird from Ottawa Canada to CA and loved the golf course life and the weather in the Palm Springs desert area. Quiet laid back, museums, hiking, it had it all. Knowing that it would be hard to save for a home here and that things usually get more expensive, not less, I suggested to my dad that we go in on a home there. Coincidently I had a client who was moving from their current desert home to a newly built one in the same complex.  I went down to check it out and thought it had everything they wanted. That was January 2001. The condo cost $87,000 my parents and I both chipped in $5k to cover the 10% down and closing costs. The community is the Desert Princess Country Club.We were able to rent it out seasonally, though not a lot at first, then in 2005 and 2006 buying second homes became popular, vacation rentals by owner (that became VRBO) were invented and that part of the real estate investing market became much easier.So, we were able to rent it out and USE it – the best of both worlds! Rent to retire R2R™Let tenants, whether short-term or long-term, pay your bill so you can retire the way you want WHERE you want. We still own that property and will have it paid off soon. Now listen in as we learn from my guests where they bought, how they financed it, and how they manage their rent to retire properties. My first guest is Mike Weatherford, a former pro dirt bike racer, now a medical professional who is married with 2 children, has owned 3 different homes, and took the leap this year in buying his Retirement home.Find out how he picked the city, what he paid, what the market rent is, and how he manages all this when the property is 2000 miles away

Did you know?  The US has $1.7 trillion in student loan debt outstanding $200 billion of that is private (non-government backed) students loans and about $21 million are in default.  Did you know that if you are in default on a student loan there is a much higher default rate 15-20% if you add up late fees etc.   There is a way out of the digging of that hole and having wages garnished AND a way to stop the downhill roll of the borrower's credit score and God forbid any co-signer credit score being ruined.   Did you know that you cannot file bankruptcy and wipe out student loans?  Angie Merget VP of Business development and Laine Schoneberger Chief Investment officer and Managing Partner walk us thought he numbers, their due diligence and underwriting and therefore how they manage to only have a 1% default rate. AND how the managed the moratorium during Covid.   They also shared how you as an investor can do good and do well financially by investing. You must be an accredited investor.  If you know someone in need of assistance have them, call Angie.  If you want to invest in their fund, Call Angie!  Enjoy!#studentdebt #investingindebt #laineschoneberger #angiemerget #athenapaquette

PadSplit is an affordable housing model, where individuals rent a room in a house while the other rooms are rented by unrelated people.We met with Frank Furman of Padsplit almost 3 years ago! I couldn't believe it when I looked it up. October 2019.Here is that interview where he explains how they started, the nuts and bolts of how it works, the downside to strangers living together, and if it is profitable.For those of you who missed that call: PadSplit is an affordable housing model, where individuals rent a room in a house while the other rooms are rented by unrelated people. Mostly single people, mostly who are new to town, in transition waiting for housing, or on a short job stay/assignment. Some need to build or rebuild credit in order to become viable long-term renters, but usually NOT students. Everything is automated and run through PadSplit.At the time they had 300 units under management in the Atlanta area. At the time, I asked about Indy, CA, etc they were just starting to work on Houston.Frank now joins us to tell us what has developed 2.75 years later.They now have 4,600 units on their platform.They are now in the following cities and markets:Houston, Dallas, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Richmond, Indianapolis, and Las Vegas (before they were just in Atlanta)...LA we're not quite there yet. Hopefully in the next year...anyway, lots more to share and plenty of new ways for investors to take part.To learn more go to https://www.padsplit.com/#affordablehousing  #investmentproperty  #frankfuram #athenapaquette            

 |  | Dear Fellow Investor,  As you probably are aware of by now, I am a strong advocate for affordable housing.  Turning ugly into pretty has been part of my mortgage production goal since 1995 when I was originating AND underwriting the FHA 203k (rehab) loan.  More recently working with HomeNow an agency for homeless that I am opening some of my units to in Indiana.   The last few years, but more so the last 2 years, I have been looking for the most affordable and easiest fastest way to get more housing units on the market. I have shared some of those conversations with you. and here is the newest chapter!  This week, I am chatting with Bob Worsley of Zennihome.  First of all they ship all over the world. Most factory built (modular/prefab) companies I interviewed are not shipping outside of,  at most, 2 or 3 states.   Many of these companies had their prototype but are not yet in production or don't own the factory to produce their homes. Both major blocks to getting our goal met. Zennihome has the factories and is already building AND their architect , co-founder, has built 100's of spec homes.  Bob is doing it in a responsible way. He takes shuttered properties that are an eyesore and are possibly a danger to the environment and community that surrounds them.  He repurposes them, cleans them up, gives them a new life and gives the community something to be proud of and jobs.  Like their factory  in Page, Arizona, once a Navajo Power Generating Station that used to be a coal plant. shuttered with many lost jobs. Now has employs workers in prefab modular housing, a growing industry. This is exactly what the Opportunity Zone program of the 2017 tax bill was designed to do.   Not only are they building these beautiful homes but they are taking it to another level: 100 unit apartment/mixed use building in Mesa AZ.  I have invited Bob to educate us on his product, process of building and shipping from AZ to wherever, timeframes as well as cost.  Some of us in My Cash Flow Academy Community have the land ready to go, we just need the best solution.   Yes he is a real estate investor in the truest sense. He owns 100,000 acres and 1MILLION acres in mineral rights.  Buckle Up!  This will be a fast paced and enlightening take on modular homes. #zennihomes #bobworsley #adu #modularhomes #athenapaquette

Multifamily Market Update 2022 - Pat Swanson with Colliers InternationalDear Fellow Investor,We sat down with Pat Swanson of Colliers International here in California. We asked a lot of questions about the multifamily real estate market!Have you been wondering whether we will finally see a buyers' market in multi-family housing?  Have you been waiting on the sidelines to buy an apartment building only see prices keep going up up up?Is the party finally over for sellers? Are prices finally coming down?I thought it would be a good time to check in with Pat Swanson VP at Colliers International whose team covers SoCal Multifamily real estate, mainly Orange County and Los Angeles counties.His team has closed 44 transactions in the last 12 months and he as always, will come with hard data on market trends and where the market is shifting.With interest rates 1% higher than last summer and cap rates compressing this should be creating softness or even slight price reductions which tends to be a downhill self-fulfilling event, BUT to balance that out the moratorium has been lifted and Additional Dwelling Units (ADU's) are coming to market there might just be a little more upside before the peak...Is he seeing a lot of ADU's in multifamily, is that helping the cash flow and values as we would expect? Is the new state wide rent control affecting values?Will he agree? Does the Data Agree?Pat has a database of over 100,000 multi-family buyers and sellers. Listen to this podcast as shares the pulse of investor sentiment very quickly. For more information on Pat Swanson and his team, visit his site here: https://www.colliers.com/en/experts/pat-swansonFor more investment updates, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://mycashflowacademy.com/#newsletter#multifamily #realestateinvesting #patswanson #athenapaquette

Janice Green, Esq. a family law attorney author, and Professor with a career spanning more than 44 years, discusses the unique challenges of getting divorced after 50.I bring you this guest because I am getting more and more calls about the big D and whether the spouse who is calling me can afford to and qualify to keep the house. It reminds me a lot of during and after the 9/11 Tragedy, people faced a world that was changing (we thought was ending for about 2 weeks) and made life changes like moves and divorces, and marriages.Of course, one of the first things that come to mind: Can I keep the family home? But there are so many more issues that are the same or even more important.    Will I still get his/her spousal social security    Will I get part of the pension he/she gets    Will I get spousal support? What if he/she quits the job and doesn't have the income to pay me?    How much cash will I get and is it enough?    Will I have the same health insurance?    What if he/she remarries, do I still get their pension/social security or out in the cold?    I bought that, shouldn't I get to keep it?    What is community property and what is mine?    Do we even need a lawyer, he/she says we don't?...and Yes, how can I pay them out of the house and keep the house? The big difference is that after the age of 50 you have more assets and are not able to recover as fast from the loss of assets or income as when you were young.Come learn the top 5 deadly mistakes you might be making BEFORE you start the process. Janice has seen it all, so bring your questions... even if you are just asking for a friend.This will be a fast-paced but deep conversation on a topic none of us wants to have but sometimes we are pushed into it. ... And you will LOVE Janice's sense of humor.#JaniceGreen #Divorceafter50 #athenapquette

Join me as I chat with Laura Guy, investor, wholesaler and board member of the Indiana Property Rights Alliance and Central Indiana REIA as she explained how to get your money back through a class action lawsuit.  See the announcement below. Dear Indiana Housing Provider, This past year has been a huge challenge for Housing Providers. On top of not being able to legally enforce our contracts and collect rent, we have been required, under threat of high fines and jail time, to continue providing regular maintenance and services despite possibly not receiving payment. At Indiana Property Rights Alliance, we are not ok with this government overreach into our businesses. We believe that Housing Providers are beneficial to communities, and that the right to own and operate property is a right secured to us in both the Federal and Indiana Constitutions. As such, we are filing a lawsuit against the State of Indiana for this unconstitutional breach of our rights. We will be pursuing damages for Housing Providers that have suffered losses related to the moratorium. Our suit stipulates that no government executive or agency has the right to enact a moratorium in the State of Indiana. If you have sustained losses – which would include rental income, damages, maintenance/utilities paid – while being legally unable to collect rent due to this Moratorium, please contact us. We hope to recover money for those Housing Providers that have been unfairly targeted and suffered financial losses. We also welcome your financial contribution to support the fight for all Indiana Housing Providers. Thank you for your help!Laura Guy Presidentwww.ipraaction.com#housingproviderssueindiana  #propertyrightsalliance  #lauraguy

Dear Real Estate Investor,As you probably know, there is insurance for the inside of your condo to cover your personal property and the betterments and improvements (like your kitchen cabinets) called H06. AND there is also the insurance that the Homeowners Association covers called the master insurance policy which covers the "outside" of the condo. but what does it cover exactly? If your tenant trips and falls, breaks his leg, will the master insurance cover that? What if your tenant had a guest over and they broke their leg on a tripping hazard? Debbie & Shawn Zenker have been in the insurance business for 30 years and have seen it all. Debbie & Shawn Zenker will explain what the Master insurance (HOA) insurance covers and what your own insurance covers and what they won't. If the master insurance covers the inside of units should you still get your own H06 insurance?  The biggest problem is when there is a claim and the 2 types of insurance will cover different things and you are stuck in the middle following up. Who coordinates that? Let's say your neighbor upstairs has a water leak that comes through the walls and causes damage to your unit. Who pays for the fixing and who is authorized and how fast will they pay? What if the insurance for the H0-6 and your insurance both say "that's not our responsibility"? Or who will cover this? Both say "not us" - what can a homeowner do?What if they won't pay the the higher grade improvements? How much will they really cover and who decides the amount?What if your tenant's dog  bites a neighbor does the H06 cover that or do you need extra insurance?I have seen people not able to fix damage for months because of disputes between the insurances and not knowing what they were actually covered for so... This is a must listen to webinar for ALL investors!

Dear Investor, What a ride this year has been!  Especially for investors or people thinking in investing in the apartment building space. Back in April, I wondered if i would be paying all the mortgages out of savings while my tenants had a rent free year.  Luckily it didn't turn out that badly but in some areas across the country and for some investors, it did.Join me as I speak with Pat Swanson, Vice President at Colliers multi-family broker in Southern CA as he updates us on the effects of Covid19 economic shutdown, and the regulations that put a moratorium on evictions, on residential commercial properties (apartment buildings). Inquiring minds want to know:Were sales slower during pandemic shutdown and have they recovered? Have property values come down because of Covid?  What is the data showing on the overall collections for A B and C class properties. in LA and OC?Are there pockets or areas that did better?Is this a buying opportunity time or still a seller's market?Are banks lending with the smaller down payments like before the pandemic? or requiring bigger down payments? Are the banks counting the lower collections in valuing the property or treating this rocky time as a temporary thing? Did the OC do better than LA?Where is the smart money going to (other states) to get a stronger cap rate and less intrusion? As one of Southern California's most accomplished multifamily investment advisors, Pat's success is predicated on exceeding his clients' expectations. From acquisition and disposition strategies to portfolio management, Pat's experience also includes bulk condo sales, distressed asset resolution, value-add repositioning, and 1031 Exchanges.  Throughout his commercial real estate career, his accomplishments have been recognized with multiple awards - the most recent was achieving CoStar's Power Broker Award, which celebrates the Top Commercial Brokers in the Country, as well as being the top Multifamily Agent in California for Colliers International from 2016-2019. In addition to being a proud business graduate from USC, Pat was a three-year starter for the nationally ranked Trojan football team. His athletic ability extends beyond college football with a Black Belt in MooYea-Do Karate.  Away from work, Pat is active with Light the Night, a key fundraiser for leukemia and lymphoma research. He is also involved with Swim with Mike, a charity for handicapped children and the Special Olympics.  Pat and his wife Alexis have four children — Ty, Micah, Shayne and Ryanne#californiarentals #multifamilyrental #rentaltrends #2020trends

Maybe it's time for me to profit from this business! You have probably heard more and more over the last 2 years about investing in real estate that involves the cultivation, production and distribution of Cannabis. You may have even seen listings on the MLS that tag a property as Cannabis friendly (I saw a couple in Lancaster last week). but who do you finance it with since this is still illegal at the federal level?Where does the profit go since you cannot deposit the money into a federally insured bank? and what if the law changes?What is the play here?
