Our guest this week, Michael Piehler, could've made a number of excuses for not getting started as a real estate entrepreneur…. “I'm too young.” “I don't have any money.” “I have zero experience.” “I look like I'm 15 years old… who's going to take me seriously?”. Which is what the majority of youngsters might do.  Not Michael. Instead, he gets resourceful, focuses on his strengths, and adopts an entrepreneurial mindset and begins asking… “How can I do it?”. Want to see how true entrepreneurs create thriving enterprises – no matter what their circumstances are? Dive in now as young Michael Piehler reveals the mindset and approach that makes the improbable (and even impossible) – highly probable!! Here's a sample of what we discuss: How Michael “attracted” a seasoned investor/money partner as a business partner. The power of “informational interviews”. Is it necessary to have a real estate license to be a successful real estate investor? Why “proximity is power”… and how Michael surrounded himself with real estate superstars that helped catapult his career. Ready to go big NOW… regardless of your resources, tracker record, or experience? The “Co-GP” business model can be your ticket to the fast lane! Much, much more! More about Michael Piehler: Michael is a co-founder and managing partner of North Lone Star Capital, a private equity real estate investment firm.  He was an Economics and Finance major in college, as well as a dual sport athlete playing both varsity hockey and golf, and began his career in commercial real estate as a broker before transitioning to the private equity investment space.

What does it take to get started investing in real estate? Insider knowledge?  A big marketing budget?  Years of studying?  A sophisticated system in place? If you happen to be in that camp, our guest, Christoph Krekeler, will blow away any preconceived notions you may have about what it really takes to get started in real estate investing. His story serves as a simple (and eye-opening!) blueprint on how almost anyone – regardless of your circumstances – can immediately get into the real estate investing game! Here's a sample of what we discuss: How to find great deals right on the MLS (yes… the MLS!) – even in a piping-hot market! Massively increasing a property's value through the power of “forced appreciation”. How Christoph increased his profit on a single-family home rental – by 300%. Buying a 9-unit multifamily property appraised at $560k… for over $100k below market value! The power of “Seller Financing”… and why it works so well in this specific real estate asset class. Christoph's biggest learning lessons… and what he wishes he would've focused on more intently – right from the beginning. The ultimate way to leverage into bigger deals – sooner rather than later! More about Anthony Christoph Krekeler: Originally from Germany, Christoph moved to the US in 2013 to play college soccer until he started his corporate career as a Financial Analyst.  In 2018, he started reading books and listening to podcasts about real estate.  In 2019, while living and working in Germany, he purchased his first two condos in his hometown.

Like the idea of “attracting” deals, capital, and opportunities, rather than constantly having to chase after potential new business? Or how about the idea of creating something once, and then having that promo work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week… forever if you want?!? All that and more is possible by utilizing the power of video marketing – in the right way! In this week's episode, video marketing specialist Mia Blank lays out a simple but powerful strategy on how you can start getting maximum exposure for your REI business – in just 1 hour a week! And here's something else you'll love… Imagine your first call with a “prospect”… and you don't have to say very much… because they're already SOLD and ready to do business with you.

In order to succeed as a real estate entrepreneur, should you burn the boats and destroy the bridges? Which is a philosophy from Sun Tzu's book ‘Art of War' that basically means you leave no other option for your soldiers other than to win and keep advancing (because there's no way for them to turn back and retreat!). Or… is it wiser to have some kind of parachute or safety net, like a job… or savings… or maybe even a spouse that can support the family during the ramp up phase? We think there's no right or wrong answer, and has more to do with your own mindset, personality, and risk tolerance.  For the right person, a ‘burn the bridges' type approach may just be the rocket fuel they need to succeed.  For the majority though, we think having a safety net that gives you some security and peace of mind may be the more tried, true, and proven path. And that certainly was the case the case for our guest this week, Anthony Pimentel. Want to see an almost text-book example of how this is done? Listen in now as Anthony shares his journey on how he's building a real estate empire… all while working a full-time job as an IT professional! Here's a sample of what we discuss: How Anthony survived “The Great Recession”. Is a real estate license necessary to be an investor? How to invest in out-of-state properties… and the challenges of being a long-distance investor. Battle-tested tips on managing contractors from thousands of miles away. What Anthony started doing to mushroom into 300+ multifamily doors… and 350+ self-storage units. The #1 key to his success… Much, much more!   More about Anthony Pimentel: Anthony has been investing in income producing real estate since 2006 in single family and multifamily properties. His areas of expertise include underwriting, due diligence, real estate acquisitions, asset management, asset reposition, and disposition. Prior to real estate, Anthony has spent the last 18 years as a Technology Professional working for a company with annual revenue of $600M+. His duties include overseeing the company's global network infrastructure and cyber security. In addition, Anthony is also co-owner of a national franchise restaurant which has been operating since 2014. Over the last 6+ years he has worked diligently on growing his real estate portfolio to 300+ Multifamily and 350+ Self Storage doors across AZ, IN,TX, and LA through partnerships and syndications.

A big goal of this episode is that the next time you hear the word “Recession” or even “Depression”… you don't get fearful (like the masses)… but you actually get excited! Because those words should become synonymous with ‘Clearance Sale'… and “Buying Opportunity”. Here's what we discuss in this week's episode to help reframe your thinking and actions so you can take full advantage of the next downturn: How Bill bought a property every couple of months with a 3-step postcard mailing sequence to NOD's (Notices of Default). The smart way to leverage your equity. How Kimmie P got every single envelope she delivered to potential sellers… OPENED (we can almost guarantee you've never heard about this sneaky little trick!). Does “wholesaling” still work during dips and downturns? Yes, but not as well as it does during more robust times.  Here's the exception… and one wholesaling strategy that can actually flourish during a recession… The ultimate strategy that works like gangbusters during a downturn! Want to go fishing in a pond loaded with distressed properties? Focus on the “3 D's”! Where to get the names and contact info of distressed sellers who are ready and eager to unload their properties. The 2 most recession-resistant real estate asset classes are… Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, says this is the #1 skill of an entrepreneur (and it's especially true during a downturn!).

After 28 years of military service (with much of that time being deployed out of the country), Ismael “Rey” Reyes took off like a rocket in building his real estate empire. How did he it? First off, he learned the ropes by investing as much as he could while he was serving (acquiring 7 single-family homes even though he was constrained by time and geography), and more importantly, he really engrained and fostered one of the primary tenets of the military – TEAMWORK. Here's a sample of what we discuss: The pro's and cons of investing in single-family homes as an out-of-area investor. The benefits of being a passive “Limited Partner” first… before doing your own thing as an active “General Partner”. Are high-ticket “Masterminds” worth the investment? How to go big NOW… rather than later. Want to start getting red-hot deals from brokers? Use this leap-frog approach to jump to the front of the line… How to put together the right TEAM to start acquiring larger multimillion dollar commercial buildings and apartment complexes. The lifeblood of any syndication business is… Much, much more! More about Ismail “Rey” Reyes: Rey has been actively investing in residential real estate since 2005 and has focused exclusively on multifamily since 2016.  He and his partners have invested in 14 multifamily properties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee, totaling over 900 units, and valued at $100 million-plus.  Rey also provides independent consulting to multifamily investors and is the bestselling author of BLUF: The Bottom-Line Up Front about Passively Investing in Multi-family Properties.

One of the founders of AirBNB said that the secret to scaling a business is to first focus on doing the unscalable. In other words, work “in” your business first so you can truly learn and understand the ins and outs of your operation… down to the nitty gritty details.  We know many are at odds with that approach, but it worked for AirBNB… and it certainly worked for our guest this week, Brian Burke. In a storied 30+ year career, Brian has acquired over $800M in real estate (in various asset classes), launched 42 Real Estate Funds, and repositioned 4,000+ apartment units. Yes… he's now at a stage where he delegates just about everything, but he got to that point by first learning every facet of the real estate investing game from A-Z. Here's a sample of what we discuss: How Brian bought his first property with no money down. When to “hold'em”… and when to “fold'em” (in other words, when you should be buying… when you should be selling.. and when you should be doing nothing!) The primary signal that tells him it's time to sell. His latest venture… and where the opportunities are in today's new economy. A peek into his “crystal ball”… and when he thinks it'll be time to be an aggressive buyer again. This is more important than the economic cycle… The 2 primary metrics he tracks and pays close attention to… The pros and pitfalls of new construction What Brian would've done differently to scale his business… in 1/3 the time. His biggest lessons from his biggest mistake. Brian's 3 keys to success in real estate (or any business for that matter!) Much, much more! More about Brian Burke: Brian Burke is President / CEO of Praxis Capital Inc, a vertically integrated real estate private equity investment firm.  He's acquired over 800 million dollars' worth of real estate over a 30-year career including over 4,000 multifamily units and more than 700 single-family homes, with the assistance of proprietary software that he wrote himself.  Brian has subdivided land, built homes, and constructed self-storage, but really prefers to reposition existing multifamily properties. Brian is the author of The Hands-Off Investor: An Insider's Guide to Investing in Passive Real Estate Syndications, and is a frequent public speaker at real estate conferences and events nationwide.
