Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast. Today Joe has a conversation with Karl Krauskopf, a former corporate strategist, transitioned into real estate and has completed 105 deals in six years, managing a portfolio of value-add multifamily properties in the Pacific Northwest. Drawing on his background in corporate healthcare, he applied his experience in creating scalable systems to real estate, focusing on repeatable processes to streamline operations. Early in his career, Krauskopf balanced a demanding corporate job, a newborn child, and real estate investments. Despite facing challenges, including a significant $56,000 loss due to mortgage fraud, he persevered and learned critical lessons about due diligence and process improvement. One of the key lessons Krauskopf shares is the importance of due diligence, particularly after falling victim to a scam involving identity theft and fraudulent home sale. While title insurance helped mitigate some of his losses, the experience underscored the need to thoroughly vet sellers and ensure all aspects of a deal are legitimate. Krauskopf emphasizes the value of learning from mistakes, understanding market conditions, and adapting quickly, especially in the fast-paced and risk-prone world of real estate. As his real estate career progressed, Krauskopf scaled his operations by leveraging teams and creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to manage acquisitions, investor relations, and marketing. He eventually shifted his focus to multifamily value-add properties, drawn by the long-term stability and growth potential. His adaptable approach to real estate allowed him to pivot successfully between flipping homes, new developments, and multifamily investments. Looking forward, Krauskopf remains excited about upcoming market opportunities, particularly with potential interest rate reductions on the horizon. Book a free real estate investing strategy call!

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School podcast. In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Wendell Butler, founder of Hammerhead Capital, Inc. At just 30 years old, Wendell has rapidly built a real estate investment business that spans single-family flips, multifamily rentals, and syndications, including being a general partner on a 32-unit multifamily deal. Despite only going full-time into real estate within the last year, Wendell has accumulated over 40 rental units and is systemizing his fix-and-flip operation to scale up to 50 properties a year. His journey began somewhat unexpectedly, as he originally pursued a path toward becoming a physician assistant but took a one-year break from school that exposed him to entrepreneurship. That pivot led him to real estate, leveraging nine-to-five jobs like sales and lending to build valuable skills and insider knowledge before taking the full leap into investing. Throughout the conversation, Wendell emphasizes the importance of strategic networking, due diligence, and conservative underwriting—advice he credits to both his lending background and personal experiences. His first “aha moment” came from a simple live-in flip of a condo, which netted him $70,000 tax-free after a year of ownership, proving to him the power of real estate. From there, he moved into house hacking with a duplex, using VA loan benefits and creative financing through family connections. Wendell shares valuable insights on structuring partnerships, particularly how he and his partners tackled their first larger multifamily deal without the expensive and complex syndication route, instead opting for a joint LLC structure with active investor participation. He underscores the importance of not relying solely on assumptions like rezoning or subdividing when underwriting deals and focuses on building long-term relationships and reputation as the keys to continued success. Wendell's story is an inspiring example of how consistent action, leveraging existing skills, and maintaining a learner's mindset can accelerate growth in real estate investing.
