In our industry, we tend to put a ton of emphasis on growth. The question is, is that growth worthwhile if we're working round the clock or sneaking off on date nights to finish deals in the bathroom? My guest, Jonathan Popowich knows that struggle all too well. However, he also knows why it's so important to shift away from that - and how to do it.  There's no need to overwork ourselves or stay in a vicious cycle where we feel like we have to achieve at the expense of our personal lives. We just need to shift out of the false mindset we've been stuck in, until this point.  In this episode, John and I go deep on how to keep making our dreams a reality, without ending up on the hamster wheel.  You'll also learn;  Why the wrong economic model makes a bigger impact on our personal lives than we realize How to implement a value-based commission split The importance of becoming the CFO of your business Why a bigger team doesn't necessarily equate to bigger results Guest Bio-  Jonathan Popowich is the Associate Broker and Team Lead at Popowich Real Estate.

Gary and guest co-host Christopher Hummel chat in this episode with good friend Ryan Carr, an investor since 2012 and investor coach who has evolved big time since Gary first interviewed him. Ryan always has about 7 or 8 projects going on at any one time, including being in the middle of authoring a new book called, “The Best & Highest Use Playbook”. Ryan understands the market like few do, and knows where to find great opportunities. Ryan is focusing right now on flips, wholesaling and new development. Gary and Ryan also discussed the “Napkin Formula”, a technique to quickly analyze a deal very quickly to determine if you’ll have a gain or a loss with any property. Too many beginning investors do not know the numbers, and either fail or get lucky with return on investments, so TUNE IN to learn about this quick and indispensable tool! What you'll learn: How his upbringing played into his career choice, as his dad was entrepreneurial Money was NOT a topic of conversation growing up, and knew how hard his parents worked NOW money is a topic with his parents, and they are curious about his real estate investing A long discussion of the ‘victim card’ and now it relates to real estate investing Ryan says the ‘victim card’ is desire, not about how much money, or time - “if they don’t have the time, they are really saying they don’t have the desire” If you have time to watch Netflix or sleep in - your 9 to 5 is what starts making your income, but your 5-9 is what will get you ahead - what book are you reading, what extra shift are you taking, what business are you researching, WHAT are you doing with that time? Facebook is a HUGE time suck - just absorbing other’s content - you HAVE to put out your own! Ryan’s take on the market - stick with what you know Why Ryan believes a downturn in the market shakes out all the people not in it for the right reasons, and why it creates buying opportunities The difference between rural and city/suburban markets Why the higher end homes may be affected if the market shifts If there is a hiccup or dip in the market, government stimulus will likely prop the market up - the government doesn’t want homes Why real estate is the safest place to hold money, even during a crisis or pandemic Why supply and demand is in full effect now How he manages multiple projects at the same time, and what he does if he overbuys How he left his 9-5, and what he was doing with HIS 5-9 every night How his book “The Highest & Best Use Playbook” helps him determine the best use of the land, structure and the best use of his skills Keep the house or take it down? If he keeps it, rent or flip? If renting, renovating or keep it bare bones. 2. If the house is taken down, what is the best use of the land. 3. Does he have the skills to pull this off? Where is he finding the time to write a book?! Why real estate investing, buy and hold, is like buying your own ATM that never runs out of money What are the criteria Ryan uses to help people determine when to leave their full time job to become full time investor, when it costs you money to work And MORE! Ryan’s Bio Ryan Carr is a full-time real estate investor from the Greater Toronto Area.  He specializes in finding the highest and best use of real property, and coaching other to do the same.  Ryan has been known in the past for his knack at finding “hidden opportunity”, and is also a regular contributor to Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine.

Sarah Larbi specializes in helping take the mystery out of homeownership for Canadians who thought real estate investing was out of reach. She has earned their trust and respect by having the drive and focus to embark, build and grow a seven-figure, 10 property investment portfolio by her early 30’s. Sarah’s goal is to inspire and train other fellow Canadian’s to realize their property-owning dreams by sharing her 7-step investing process through her online training programs. Her results-oriented approach has been featured in The Toronto Star, 1010 News Talk Radio, and Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine as well as numerous online media. She is an invited speaker at the Canadian Real Estate Wealth Investor Forum and is often a guest on numerous North American finance-focused podcasts. Sarah is the co-host of two podcasts related to the Canadian real estate market.   “In this real estate game, it is about time in the market, not timing the market. So just do your research, jump in and keep learning along the way.” Sarah Larbi   Worst investment ever Desire to be wealthy Sarah had a great desire to be wealthy and she wanted to find out how she could retire at 40 while still enjoying financial freedom. So she did some research and real estate investing kept coming back over and over and over. While she came across other ways of creating wealth, she was drawn to real estate. She managed to convince her boyfriend to join her and buy real estate property. She took a second job and cashed in some of her vacation money to be able to have enough downpayment to buy the cheapest house that they could afford. Mistake no.1: Renting to family At the time Sarah and her boyfriend were looking to buy their first rental property her sister needed a place to live closer to her daughter's school. So they decided to look for property in that area with plans to rent out the house to her sister. They didn’t do any kind of research they simply asked the sister what kind of house she wanted and could afford. That’s the only information they worked with to buy their first rental property. They didn’t research the location or make any price and property comparisons. Mistake no.2: Not using a local realtor Sarah used the realtor that was originally helping them in a town about an hour away to find their rental property. They kept going back and forth because the realtor didn't know the market and neither did they. Mistake no.3: Borrowing from the bank instead of a mortgage broker Once they got a property they went to their bank for financing. The bank wanted 35% downpayment forcing her to look for a mortgage broker but at this point, she’d wasted a lot of time trying to negotiate with the bank. Making the math work Luckily, Sarah happened to listen to several real estate investing podcasts and she learned that she needed to figure out how to at least break even or make some cash flow from her real estate property. She worked out that she needed to collect $800 in rent per month to break even. What she didn’t know, because she had done zero market research, was that the actual market rent was about $1100. While they didn’t lose any money from buying the property, it remains her worst investment because they didn’t make the money that they should have been making had they looked and seen the comparables of what the rent go for in the first place. Lessons learned Use local agents Sarah has learned to only use realtors that are local in areas she’s looking to invest in because the local realtors know where the best deals are. They’re also likely to have a team of electricians, plumbers, paralegals, etc. so that you don't have to go and source from scratch. Don’t be too analytical Be careful that you don't spend all your time doing research. Do your research but make sure that you're not sitting on your butt five years from now, still doing research. Do enough research, feel comfortable, get the right help, get your right team and then just go ahead and do it and trust that you've done enough research. There are lots of people complaining that they should have done something 10 years ago, but they’ve just been reading and analyzing nonstop but never dared to do anything. Andrew’s takeaways Don’t jump in blindly Don't just jump into real estate investing, take a little time to research so that you can do it will all the facts at hand. This makes risk management easier. Ask for help You don’t know what’s out there when you’re dealing with an investment property. But the truth is that there's a lot of help available and a lot of people are willing to help as long as you ask for their help to avoid making your next mistake. Actionable advice Join and attend a networking group that's real estate investing specific and build your circle. Have people that are doing what you want to do. And those that are talking to you and saying, “You're crazy, don't do it”, those are not the people you want to be around. Don't listen to them. Go and network with people that you want to be like, people you want to learn from and create that that circle around you of those like-minded people. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Sarah’s number one goal is to reduce her job hours, either to part-time or to not too many because she’s not working to make money anymore. She’s at the stage where she can start taking some of her time back. Parting words   “Learn and take action. Reach out to people that are doing it around you. There are ups and downs, just pick yourself back up and keep going.” Sarah Larbi   Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points Andrew’s online programs Valuation Master Class Women Building Wealth The Build Your Wealth Membership Group Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points Connect with Sarah Larbi Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Blog Website Connect with Andrew Stotz astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast

I'm here with Stefan. How's it going Stefan? Stefan: Very good. How are you? Jon: Doing great. Thanks for joining us today. So, talk to us about your respect the grind. I love that. Stefan: Thanks dude. Yeah, well respect the grind is a saying I've been saying ... I'm a real estate coach and investor and I had a student some years ago and he was saying, "Oh Stefan, this isn't working. I'm making my calls and my offers and I'm just not getting anywhere and I don't think this whole thing works." I said, "Jason, you just got to respect the grind. It's going to take you ten years and ten thousand hours to be a master, and why do you think that you can cut the line and get ahead of everyone who's been working at this for so long?" So it's a saying to respect the process and respect that journey towards mastery. That's what it's really about. Jon: That's great man. Yeah, it's true, and so many people think that things can just fall into their lap. And then just come so easily, when the truth is, it's the overnight success 10 years in the making, kind of thing, right? I mean, it takes a lot of effort, a lot of work to get to success. And then kind of like, I think Gary Vee says, "If you want to be in the 1%, you got to be willing to do 99% more than the rest of the groups." So I agree, the grind is very essential. And you talk about, I think in your book or on your podcast and your sites, that you became a multimillionaire and you started with $1,200. Tell us about how you became a multimillionaire. Was it mostly real estate related? Really what drove that?
