Real estate investors need to manage their portfolios well in order to maximize their benefits. This means identifying declining properties, reviewing the expenses, and comparing them with the returns for new properties. Investors must also find a way to identify the properties that are worth holding onto long-term and those that can be sold to generate profit. One of the investment tools to scale up your investments is the 1031 exchange. A 1031 exchange is a tax deferment program that allows an investor to sell certain properties without paying taxes on any profit at the time of sale and then reinvest those proceeds in other properties as long as they have invested the money into similar types. Join this conversation with Alex Olson and learn more about this investing tool.Alex is a Senior Real Estate Broker for 1031 Exchange Buyers looking for Off Market Multifamily and NNN Investments. He helps clients identify and close real estate transactions in the Kansas City market, St Louis Market, and the states of Kansas and Missouri. If you are participating in a 1031 exchange or are ready to buy in the KC, STL, MO, or KS, Alex would love to speak to you. Similarly, you will enjoy learning about your real estate goals with your existing apartment buildings and how we can improve your financial position in your real estate investments.During this episode, you will learn about:[00:32] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest; Alex Olson[01:28] Alex's backstory on how he got started in commercial real estate investing[03:50] Real estate experiences that motivated him to focus on 1031 Exchange [06:46] Current real estate market sediments and what you need to know before investing[10:53] Why 1031 exchange is less market dependent and its benefits[12:56] Reasons why most people chose the 1031 exchange[18:31] Understanding the rules of the game and how Alex helps investors navigate that[21:42] Preparation criteria that Alex looks for before helping a client start the 1031 process [25:38] The two main requirements you have to meet to qualify for a 1031 exchange[27:36] Rapid Fire Round[34:38] How to reach out and connect with Alex Notable Quotes Despite all the noise in the media about real estate, the changes don't happen overnight. [06:55]The hardest part for people to understand is that as much as interest rates matter in investing, they don't actually matter. What matters is whether the numbers, as a whole, make sense to you. [07:43]Prior preparation is the key to success in 1031 exchanges. The time gap is always short when you start the process. [21:15]In a 1031 exchange, there are certain requirements that you have to meet. One is that you should have a qualified intermediary. Two, the sale proceeds from the property should be stored in an escrow account that you do not have access to. [25:40]The best advice for anyone who wants to join the 1031 exchange is to use people that have done them successfully in the past. Also, be as proactive as you can in the front end so that you can have a lot of time in the back end to close that deal.

Welcome to the Managing CRE Risk podcast, where we believe that if you can identify, understand, and manage risk, you can take huge leaps in your CRE journey and find more success along the way. Our guest today is Brian Olson, a real estate broker who specializes in 1031 exchange. In this conversation, we dig into one particular market, Kansas City, and talk about how to find the best deals, create good relationships with brokers, and make sure that you're running your 1031 exchanges correctly. His great advice applies to any market in the country, so you don't want to miss out on this insightful episode! Learn more about Brian and his journey at shineinsurance.com/managing-commercial-real-estate-risk! “There are a lot of the reasons why Kansas City's drawn a lot of investors here recently.”   04:04 At the beginning of our conversation, Brian explains how the Kansas City market works and why it's a particularly good market to invest in. Kansas City is very landlord-friendly, has low taxes, and has many cash-flowing assets.   Currently, every market in the US has issues with the inventory of multifamily properties. The triple net assets are a bit easier to find and have better cap rates. Brian is specialized in 1031 exchange, which has great cashflow opportunities in Kansas City's stable market. “In real estate, the brokers are typically not like your used car salesman. They're there to help you and to build a long-term relationship with you.”    14:19 For people who want to invest outside of their states, Brian has some great advice on how to lower their risk. Get referrals and find a good off-market broker by using your network. Be proactive. Have constant communication with your broker. Tell them why you like or don't like a deal and what you're looking for. Try to understand the market and have realistic expectations. “Your Qualified Intermediary, broker, and lender are going to be key team members for you.”   24:54 Brian explains the biggest risk he sees people taking in commercial real estate that creates concern. They overpay 10-50% on smaller assets rather than finding off-market deals. The best way to reduce your risk is to build a relationship with a broker, especially in a 1031 scenario.   The biggest mistake people make around a 1031 exchange is closing out on a property but not putting their funds within a Qualified Intermediary. It's also important to make sure to know and engage in a market that you're going to exchange into. About Our Guest, Alex Olson As a 1031 Exchange Real Estate Agent, Brian helps clients identify and close real estate transactions in the Kansas City market, St Louis Market; and the states of Kansas and Missouri. An expert in assisting buyers and sellers (in-state and out-of-state) looking for multifamily properties in Kansas City, St Louis, Kansas, and Missouri.  Mentioned in the show: https://xchangecre.com/ His LinkedIn alex@xchangecre.com Shineinsurance.com www.shineinsurance.com/managing-commercial-real-estate-risk Jeremy's LinkedIn Need an instant insurance ballpark for your next Multifamily deal?!

Welcome to Real Estate (Un)Success Stories. Cody's guest in this informative episode is Alex Olson.  As a commercial real estate investor himself, Alex understands the frustrations of not being able to locate off-market deals, not finding deals that cash flow, and running into dead ends. Once you have an agent, learn how to build out your team, identify the core components of getting a transaction done, and getting your deal across the finish line.     Having helped clients complete over $50mm in sales through 35+ transactions, Alex is an expert in helping 1031 Exchange clients. Alex and his Colleague Logan Freeman are taking real estate brokerage to the next level. They have developed a proven system for helping 1031 exchange clients identify cash flowing deals, develop a trusted team, and ensure that your 1031 exchange money is secure.     Key Takeaways:   Don't let your enthusiasm for your perspective and view.

The ALL IN for FOSTER ADOPTION Challenge: The Goal and Strategies for Serving Waiting Kids Today there are over 125,000 youth in the foster care system. Many have never known the security of a loving home and often must wait for over three years for permanency. While others are shuttled between a multitude of homes; the number of placements sometimes soaring into the double digits. One can only imagine what the lasting impact might be on a child who has never known the safety of a loving family. And what about the strain on our communities overall? Sex-traffickers that prey on these children, increased homelessness, and incarceration are seemingly inevitable due to lack of guidance and substantial gaps in education. These bleak, cultural realities stand in contrast to the mission of the church – to care for those in need. What can the local church do? They can go “All IN.” What's at Stake? When asked what's at stake for kids who aren't placed in permanent, loving homes, Alex Olson, an ALL IN for FOSTER ADOPTION Challenge Team Member whose own forever family fostered over 110 youth over time, said, “I had a friend in the system who took his own life at 11 years of age. And many young people I know have had similar experiences. It really is our lives that are at stake.” Human lives made in the image of God are what's at stake.

This week on the show, Templeton Elliott, Mike Munzenrider, and Max Harrison-Caldwell are talking about the Skateism's Aphrodite Tour video with Nike SB and Alex Olson's profile in GQ.

Over the past 12 years, Alex Olson has gone from being the new kid on the block to one of the most influential in our culture. His skateboarding speaks for itself. Beyond that, and perhaps more interesting, is the success that he’s had with his Bianca Chandôn and 917 brands. Olson seems to navigate the world in a different way than the typical pro. He isn’t scared to go on creative tangents in the realms of photography, music, and fashion, and is “woke” to the point of practicing daily meditation and adopting a plant-based diet. Packaged together, all of this makes for the most layered guest that we’ve had to date. Lee Smith peels back a few of them in the latest episode of Mission Statement.

The #IAedchat team welcomed Alex Olson, Clint Heitz, Anna Upah, and Greg Deutmeyer to engage in a conversation about instructional coaching and the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System in the state of Iowa.

Exercise is an amazing thing. It releases endorphins, raises your metabolism, boosts hormone production, and it can help reshape the very body you walk around in. Some people use exercise to accomplish even more remarkable feats, like pushing the boundaries of the re-sculpting process the body is capable of. Today’s guest, Alex Olson, is one of these people. She is a body building fitness competitor, and she totally kicks ass. She’ll tell us how she used diet, exercise, hard work, and discipline to reach a lofty goal, and how it completely changed her self-confidence in the process.
