Podcasts about Chester

Podcast guest 510 is author Dr. Christopher Macklin who was unknowingly dating a retilian alien. Dr. Christopher Macklin is a highly respected UFO and ET expert, member of the Galactic Federation, a Remote Viewer and expert on The Deep State, the starseed ET races and how they are connected to humanity, positive and negative ET races that are on our planet, alien connection, paranormal, and manufactured diseases. Born as a highly aware psychic child in Chester, England, Christopher Macklin was often visited by negative ETs as a young child in his room at night. His encounters brought his parents to his side, but not believing him, they felt that Christopher was only experiencing nightmares. He was able to perceive energy fields, spirit activity and multi-dimensional phenomena from a very young age. This left young Christopher to learn early on how to deal with the presence of negative ETs in his life. He began to use his psychic abilities and the power inherent in his Melchizedek Soul to understand why they were visiting him, how to remove them from the planet and how to heal the manipulations and violations that he eventually understood they were inflicting on an unsuspecting humanity. These early experiences would form the basis of Christopher's life work. Christopher specializes in healing abductees and others who have suffered related negative ET trauma. He assists people in removing negative ET presences from their lives, clearing homes and land, and closing multidimensional portals. He also works tirelessly with “illuminati fall out children” who have been mind-controlled and physically tortured by ET influenced governmental agencies and institutions. In addition, he works very closely with the Pleiadians and Arcturians to help heal and rebalance humanity. His new book History, Truth and Healing addresses the negative ET presence and how it has affected humanity.

To build a shopping mall for the rapidly growing virtual fashion market. Hologram sommeliers and critics are braced to help the wine lover in store. Is your winery prepared for the future? The technology in our pockets has fragmented audiences forever. Tribes and influencers matter, but what counts more than ever is brand.

Keeping those values at the forefront of the conversation will not be easy. Paul Caputo will present an overview of the imminent technology landscape and potential trends in order to provoke thought and discussion around maximising wine marketing opportunities. Despite a focus on how wineries might leverage these ideas, they are equally relevant to trade and press audiences More about the today's speaker: Paul Caputo IWA is a UK based wine writer, judge, critic and entrepreneur.

“ -URBANO: ¡Vamos! Parece que no estás muy seguro. -FERNANDO: No es eso Urbano. ¡Es que le tengo miedo al tiempo! Es lo que más me hace sufrir. Ver como pasan los días, y los años...sin que nada cambie. Ayer mismo éramos tú y yo dos críos que veníamos a fumar aquí, a escondidas, los primeros pitillos...¡Y hace ya diez años! Hemos crecido sin darnos cuenta, subiendo y bajando la escalera, rodeados siempre de los padres, que no nos entienden; de vecinos que murmuran de nosotros y de quienes murmuramos...Buscando mil recursos y soportando humillaciones para poder pagar la casa, la luz...y las patatas. Y mañana, o dentro de diez años que pueden pasar como un día, como han pasado estos últimos…., aborreciendo el trabajo…, perdiendo día tras día...Por eso es preciso cortar por lo sano.” Fragmento de “Historia de una escalera” Antonio Buero Vallejo nació en Guadalajara el 29 de Septiembre de 1916. Desde su infancia se interesa por la literatura, sobre todo por el teatro. Estudia en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid y, acusado de , permanece en prisión desde 1939 a 1946. Allí coincide con Miguel Hernández y entablan una fuerte amistad. Al ser puesto en libertad comienza a colaborar en diversas revistas como dibujante y escritor de pequeñas piezas de teatro. Su debut se produce en 1949 con la publicación de “Historia de una escalera”, obra galardonada con el Premio Lope de Vega y que tuvo un gran éxito de público en el Teatro Español de Madrid. Durante la década de los cincuenta escribe y estrena en España y en el extranjero obras tan significativas en su trayectoria literaria como “La Tejedora de sueños” de 1951, “La señal que se espera” (1952), “Casi un cuento de hadas” de 1953, “Madrugada” del mismo año, “Hoy es Fiesta” (1956) o “Un soñador para un pueblo” de 1958. A pesar de sus problemas con la censura vigente, sigue estrenando títulos como “El concierto de San Ovidio” de 1962, “Aventura en lo gris” (1964), “El tragaluz” de 1967 – que se mantiene en cartel durante casi nueve meses- o “Las Meninas” cuyo estreno obtiene un éxito sin precedentes. Además prepara versiones de Shakespeare, como “Hamlet, príncipe de Dinamarca” y Bertolt Brecht (“Madre Coraje, y sus hijos”). Posteriormente realiza un ciclo de conferencias en varias universidades estadounidenses y en 1971 ingresa en la Rea Academia Española, y, más tarde, es nombrado socio de honor del Circulo de Bellas Artes y del Ateneo de Madrid. Asimismo pertenece a diversas academias, comités y sociedades de América, Portugal, Alemania y Francia. Durante los primeros años de democracia en España Buero no cesa de estrenar obras: “Jueces en la noche” de 1979, “Caimán” (1981) y “Dialogo secreto” de 1985, o su versión de ”El pato silvestre” de Henrik Ibsen, en 1982. En 1986 recibe el Premio Miguel de Cervantes por toda su trayectoria literaria. Antonio Buero Vallejo compagina su éxito en el campo de la literatura con su otra gran pasión, la pintura. En 1993 publica “Libro de estampas”, donde se recogen pinturas acompañadas de textos inéditos del autor. En 1997 ve la luz su última obra, “Misión al pueblo desierto”, estrenada en Madrid dos años después. En 1998 es nombrado presidente de honor de la Fundación Fomento del Teatro. Antonio Buero Vallejo falleció en Madrid el 29 de Abril del año 2000, a los 84 años. Antonio Buero Vallejo es quizá el autor teatral más importante y, desde luego más representativo de la España de posguerra. Su primer estreno, “Historia de una escalera” de 1949, original síntesis de dos herencias tan dispares como el sainete y la tragedia de Unamuno, supuso una abierta ruptura con el teatro que se venía haciendo en España en los diez años inmediatamente anteriores. Dicho primer estreno anticipaba también la significación que tendrá Buero desde aquel momento: su empeño en escribir un teatro trágico, que desde García Lorca y hasta entonces, ningún autor español había acometido, y en armonizar la pureza y el criticismo de su arte con un amplio éxito de público. Pero es su drama “En la ardiente oscuridad” (primero que escribe, en 1946, aunque el estreno date de 1950) el mejor punto de partida para acercarnos a este universo dramático. Debemos señalar enseguida algunos datos biográficos del autor que anteceden inmediatamente a la escritura de la citada obra: estudiante de Bellas Artes en el Madrid de la II República; soldado republicano desde 1936 a 1939; muerte del padre, fusilado en Madrid en 1937; condenado a muerte en 1939, hasta la conmutación de la pena ocho meses después; recluido durante seis años en diferentes colonias penitenciarias…...Cuando recobra la libertad abandona la pintura y empieza a escribir. Que el primer drama que escribe sea “En la ardiente oscuridad” es algo que, si puedo decirlo de este modo, da que pensar. Sin embargo, en la superficie, “En la ardiente oscuridad” no guarda relación con tales hechos. Sólo cuando penetramos en la estructura trágica, profunda, de esta obra – una obra que prefigura todas las demás del autor – comprendemos que el teatro de Buero Vallejo surge a causa y frente a la guerra y la posguerra españolas. “En la ardiente oscuridad” es un drama sobre ciegos. En un centro para estudiantes invidentes, donde domina una pedagogía consistente en ignorar la situación de la ceguera – como una forma de intentar superarla , aparece un nuevo alumno, Ignacio, el protagonista, que opone a las mentiras oficiales del centro una afirmación rebelde: la verdad de que es ciego, la verdad de que todos son ciegos y de que necesitan ver. La ceguera, como símbolo de las limitaciones humanas, y la necesidad de ver, como símbolo de la aspiración de lo absoluto, son claves fundamentales para entender el pensamiento de la obra. La antinomia Ignacio – Carlos (éste último alumno destacado del centro) y la muerte del primero a manos del segundo es otro aspecto que debemos destacar para poder añadir inmediatamente que “En la ardiente oscuridad” contiene de manera expresa o esboza estas constantes del teatro de Buero: la antinomia ; las taras físicas, además de la ceguera, la locura, la sordera, etc., que pueden homologarse con aquella; una imagen totalizadora de lo humano, que abarca los conflictos sociales y políticos y, simultáneamente, el misterio del mundo y de la vida, etc. Estas y otras características nos han servido de hilo conductor para llegar a la estructura profunda del teatro de Buero Vallejo, pudiendo proponer así una interpretación nueva del mismo. En esa estructura hemos hallado primero un trasfondo mítico siempre presente o latente: la tríada Edipo, Don Quijote y Caín-Abel y segundo, una presencia-ausencia de Dios, de acuerdo a una visión trágica: un Dios que no es el de las religiones, Dios de certezas, sino el Dios incierto y equívoco de la tragedia, el Dios de Pascal y de Racine. Ambas dimensiones son complementarias entre sí y demuestran la enorme coherencia del teatro de Buero en el ámbito de lo trágico; pues, al fin, es impensable una tragedia sin mitos y sin dioses. Comprobamos así que el teatro de Buero apunta a la necesidad de

Dr. Chester Zoda's education company “Digital Doctor,” helps doctors build passive income with online courses. At the start of the pandemic, Dr Zoda was working 80–100-hour weeks and feeling burnt out and overworked. He wanted to spend more time with family but was unable due to clinical obligations. He wanted to find a way to make extra money, so he created an online course teaching digital marketing via Facebook advertising. His first online course made $5,000 in the first month of launch and was featured on the frontpage of Oberlo magazine. He started taking on additional clients on-the-side, helping Ecommerce and Digital Marketers launch their online courses. After many requests, he eventually decided to teach his methods to a small group of doctors. In late 2020, he left clinical practice completely to focus on the business we discussed today. He teaches healthcare practitioners how to create online courses. There are patients (and other clinicians) throughout the world who will pay for us to tell them what we say to our patients or trainees each day. What I think he has mastered most, is how to use the search engine algorithms to set up ads that will show up in our target audiences. How to make sure we show up at the top, which works as social proof that we are the experts we claim to be and thus deserve what we charge for our courses.

(Pretty good!) What are the odds of you catching Becky watching a “body horror” movie? (Slim to none!) What are the odds of you finding Merie having sex behind a Dumpster (Less than zero - who has that kind of quad strength?!) What is the thing Merie reveals about herself that horrifies Becky so much she wishes to turn back time to before she heard it?

Today Alexa is joined by the President of the British Voice Association, who is also a jazz singer, composer, and educator teaching at Chester, Leeds, and York Universities, Louise Gibbs. Join in the chat from all things from gardening to jazz to improvisation and all you need to know about the British Voice Association.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Louise has always had the instinct as a musician to create rather than reproduce. After she had her first piano lesson, Louise went home and created her own compositions, then when she played them for her teacher in the second lesson she was told never to do it again and to follow the sheet music. That's when she knew that classical might not be for her.  We need to remember that most music just existed in people's imagination and in the oral tradition before it was ever written down.  A jazz singer is someone who treats a piece of music as a form which they improvise with, it's a more compositional approach. Whereas a jazz stylist will take the features of that music and reproduce them, with that you often get the same result every time.  Every time you alter something, you're adding some form of improvisation.  The British Voice Association (BVA) is the 'voice for voice' in the UK, an association of multi-disciplinary professionals who work to promote the field of voice in its broadest sense. Their remit is the encouragement of a healthy voice, vocal skills and communication in such areas as the performing arts, business and industry, medicine and education.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘I was always taken by the rhythm'  ‘Jazz is the ability to make something new every time and be creative with that' ‘The idea of not knowing what you're going all the time can put a lot of fear into people'  ‘You have to be able to embody rhythm and if you're not familiar with it, it's very tricky to do'   EPISODE RESOURCES  BAST Training    Guest Website: louisegibbs.co.uk britishvoiceassociation.org.uk   Relevant Links & Mentions:  Jazz Artists Mentioned: Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, Miles Davis iSing Magazine - Vocal Style: A beginners guide to singing jazz by Louise Gibbs: https://www.isingmag.com/vocal-style-a-beginners-guide-to-singing-jazz/ BVA Event: Breakthroughs & Boundaries Forum (Sunday 17th July 2022)  Louise Gibbs' Email: louise@jazzmine.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST  Louise Gibbs is a jazz singer, composer and educator, and graduate in both music and education from Columbia University, New York. She is Visiting Professor at the University of Chester, and teaches jazz and popular voice and musicianship for the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and York. She has held academic and teaching positions at Leeds College of Music (Course Leader for the Postgraduate Programme and the Jazz Programmes), Goldsmiths, University of London, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Royal College of Music, and given workshops for major conservatoires and international institutions in the US and New Zealand. She maintains active research and writing interests in voice, improvisation, education and musical aesthetics. Louise is currently President of the multidisciplinary British Voice Association.  Louise continues to perform her own music, and the jazz repertory. Described in Jazzwise as “meeting all musical challenges with creativity and charisma” she has recorded with top UK and US artists and has five acclaimed albums as leader. Her performance of self-penned song suite, Seven Deadly Sings for voice and septet earned a 4-star review: “Both in its conception and execution, …is an unqualified triumph”.  Louise is a keen gardener, allotment-holder, and sourdough bread baker.    ABOUT THE PODCAST BAST Training is here to help singers gain the knowledge, skills and understanding required to be a great singing teacher.

Most people say there's so much in the collision repair industry that's broken. There's the issue of insurance companies demanding to use after-market parts to reduce repair costs without considering how it would affect the consumer's safety. There are also concerns about the low enrollment rates at vo-tech schools causing a shortage of technicians coming in. Unfortunately, the collision repair business has become a crappy business to work in. And as a result, the customer experience also suffers. This is what Tom Bemiller observed as he got into the industry. Then he remembered a quote saying happy employees make happy customers. He thought if there was a way to create a better environment for the people working at the shops and improve the experience of fixing cars, then that will translate to a better experience for the customers. Join Matt DiFrancesco and Tom Bemiller, Founder, and CEO of The Aureus Group, as they talk about why Tom thinks that the industry severely lacks leadership, what the five core values of his company are, and why he wants to be a catalyst for change in the industry. Tom talks about: (02:20) How he started his career in the collision industry (08:17) What “repairing the repair process” means (11:10) One of the biggest problems in the collision industry (11:39) The importance of investing in personal development (14:47) The culture you need to create to become the best company to work for (18:14) The number one complaint they get from customers (20:11) The Aureus Group's five core values (25:10) What it means to love what you do (30:27) The challenges of being a leader (31:33) Tom's goals for the future Connect with Tom Bemiller Website: www.theaureusgroup.com Email: tbemiller@theaureusgroup.com (610) 256-1956 Connect With Matt DiFrancesco: matt@highliftfin.com (814)201-5855 LinkedIn: Matt DiFrancesco LinkedIn: High Lift Financial Facebook: High Lift Financial About Our Guest: Tom Bemiller doesn't consider himself a car guy. He's not particularly passionate about cars, he's never fixed cars, and in fact, he doesn't even own a car - he drives a rental. He got into the auto repair industry by accident. At 14, he went looking for a summer job that is near his house and the only one that was willing to hire him was a body shop. He started sweeping floors until eventually, he realized that it was a pretty decent place to work in. He ended up spending a couple more summers and Christmas breaks working for that body shop. After he graduated from college, he decided to work in the body shop again just until he could figure out what he wanted to do next in his life. While there, he got involved in a car accident. That's when the body shop owner asked him to take the car to all their competitors to see what the experience was like. The project exposed him to the side of the industry he's never seen before. He just couldn't believe how terrible the places and the service would be. This sparked his passion to fix things that need to be fixed in the industry.

The National Pawnbrokers Association tells Money Box it will hold talks with the Financial Conduct Authority next week. That follows a report which shows people on low incomes are pawning goods to pay for food and fuel. As the cost of living crisis hits more households, pawnbrokers say they're becoming a more important source of credit. Critics argue that pawnbrokers charge annual interest rates of 120% and undervalue people's possessions whilst supporters say they're a vital source of finance for people on low incomes who can't get loans from banks. We'll discuss this - and hear from people in Chester selling things like phones and laptops in order to keep afloat financially. New analysis of Land Registry figures suggests house prices have gone up by 11 percent since before the pandemic. But the data, which compares average prices of properties sold in December 2019 with those in December 2021 shows that not all homes are equal. Prices of terrace houses rose by 13% but prices for flats dropped by the same amount. Semi detached and detached houses rose the most. Up by 20% and 26% respectively. We'll discuss that with property and mortgage experts. We'll hear how some young people are facing months of delays trying to access money from their Child Trust Funds. And the new rules on claiming tax relief for working from home.

In this episode we talk to Dr Christopher Macklin about The Global Enlightenment Project and the Galactic Federation. His work with the Galactic Federation has lead him to chair a meeting on the removal of the Greys from Earth. Born as a highly aware psychic child in Chester, England, Christopher Macklin was often visited by negative ETs as a young child in his room at night. His screams brought his parents to his side, but not believing him, they felt that Christopher was only experiencing nightmares. He was able to perceive energy fields, spirit activity and multi-dimensional phenomena from a very young age. This left young Christopher to learn early on how to deal with the presence of negative ETs in his life. He began to use his psychic abilities and the power inherent in his Melchizedek Soul to understand why they were visiting him, how to remove them from the planet and how to heal the manipulations and violations that he eventually understood they were inflicting on an unsuspecting humanity. These early experiences would form the basis of Christopher's life work. Christopher specializes in healing abductees and others who have suffered related negative ET trauma. He assists people in removing negative ET presences from their lives, clearing homes and land, and closing multidimensional portals. He also works tirelessly with “illuminati fall out children” who have been mind-controlled and physically tortured by ET influenced governmental agencies and institutions. In addition, he works very closely with the Pleiadians and Arcturians to help heal and rebalance humanity. His new book History, Truth and Healing addresses the negative ET presence and how it has affected humanity. Christopher treats Emotional Disorders, including Addictions, Chronic Depression, Schizophrenia and Bi-Polar Disorder. The whole person, and their whole life are treated, therefore relationships of families and loved ones can also be repaired and restored. As an author, his book include:History, Truth & Healing: Manufactured Diseases: HIV/AIDS, Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, Morgellons and Lyme Disease and Centering the Mind: Healing of Chronic Stress, Anxiety, Depression, ADD, OCD & PTSD in Children, Adolescents and Adults Today Christopher serves an international client base, helping thousands of people rebalance and heal from various physical, mental and emotional issues. His client's testimonials serve as ample proof in understanding the life changing experiences he is able to facilitate. At www.globalenlightenmentproject.com you can learn more about ETs: the good and the bad, Manufactured Diseases, Remote Viewing, The Galactic Federation, How to Connect with your Galactic Family, Mind Control and many resources for Enlightenment, as well as several other great books. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Support the show from just £1 at www.buymeacoffee.com/paranormalpod Share your story or contact us to say Hi! at podcast@pursuitoftheparanormal.co.uk Check out our brand new Merch Store at https://linktr.ee/pursuitoftheparanormal --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pursuitoftheparanormal/message

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Joel Florek: The way that we structured the contract, the syndication, is that the general partners would have the right to buy out the limited partner shares via an 18% IRR after a 36-month period. And the reason why we did that is, you know, typically investors want to see a defined time horizon on what their investment is going to look like. [00:00:36] Sam Wilson: Joel Florek is a multifamily and RV resort investor with $18 million in assets under management. The portfolio of properties is based in Indiana and Michigan. Joel, welcome to the show.  [00:00:47] Joel Florek: Hey, thank you so much for having me, happy to be here today.  [00:00:50] Sam Wilson: Pleasure's mine. Three questions I ask every guest who comes to the show, in 90 seconds or less: where did you start? Where are you now? How did you get there?  [00:00:57] Joel Florek: Started with a little four-unit building fresh out of college. My parents helped me with the down payment, got the bank to finance the rest. And I, I house hacked it, lived in one unit, rented out the others. As you said, now, just about 150 units, you know, 200 site campground in the mix, family, kids, living the dream. Couldn't be happier. [00:01:18] Sam Wilson: So you got out of college and you bought a four-unit property, and then you just kept going with real estate. Was that the plan all along?  [00:01:26] Joel Florek: I knew as I was ending my college career, that for me, financial independence was the priority. The means that which I achieved that, but I wasn't really sure how things were going to shake out. [00:01:40] Joel Florek: I knew multifamily was going to be a part of it. And that four-unit was the first step. I had a corporate job as a program manager. So had my day job, you know, picked up that property and it just so happened. I was able to work out a number of creatively finance deals to be able to grow that portfolio pretty quick, a 16 unit with just $5,000 down, bought a three-year unit on a credit card. [00:02:07] Joel Florek: And so, did a number of fun things and other seller finance, low money down deal to pick up an eight-unit. You know, it was over a period of three years, those deals, but this first 31 units where, you know, however, the heck I could figure out how to put the deal together and buy it. That's how I did it. [00:02:27] Joel Florek: I tried finding some investors. No one really wanted to give me the time of day or trust me with their money that early, but I just said, you know, screw it. I'll figure it out and make it work. And I did. And things got a little bit easier, but there's still challenges and challenges that you face every day. [00:02:47] Sam Wilson: How did you know or what gave you the confidence to figure out how to do those really creative seller finance deals? I mean, that's typically not something you're like, oh, okay. I got a four-unit. Now I'm going to go out and buy a 16-unit property. I'm gonna negotiate it to a point where the seller is willing to take five grand and trust me to get it done. I mean, that's something like a needle in a haystack for most people. How'd you, how'd you do that?  [00:03:08] Joel Florek: Yeah. Yeah. You know, I tried every other way to buy it. It was a question I asked right away, you know, would you guys be willing to keep any money on the table as a seller second position, or what have you? I got a degree in finance. [00:03:23] Joel Florek: I mean, I don't want to say I was, you know, some financial genius, what have you, but I was familiar with lending and the process and some of the avenues, and of course, getting on, do some Google research and being on BiggerPockets early in, you know, in my career, you see a lot of that stuff. So I asked some of those questions, but ultimately, we built trust over a period of months in that particular deal, that 16 unit. And through that trust that I built with the sellers, they actually came back to me with the proposal after I exhausted every other opportunity that I could, you know, try to put together. And they said, Hey, you know, we like you. We think we can get this done if we keep a little money on the table. And again, originally they said no to that, but they came back, gave me the proposal. And I said, you know, let me call my bank. Let's talk stock in a few days. [00:04:14] Sam Wilson: Right, yeah. For five grand down. That sounds, that sounds like a sweetheart deal assuming that the place was, you know, partially habitable.  [00:04:22] Sam Wilson: Oh, it was beautiful. It was 16 units on the water. Everyone had a deck porch overlooking, you know, all two-bedroom, you know, 1100, 1200 square foot units, carports. It was great. Small town though. And that's been kind of, my niche is I have been in smaller towns and that has allowed me to kind of grow. [00:04:44] Sam Wilson: Now. I've been a little more competitive of, of an area I'm in, you know, larger Chicago, MSA, but still. I'm playing in Chesterton, Indiana. I'm playing in Southwest, Michigan, Three Oaks where I have, you know, it's a 40 unit apartment complex that we bought. And the only other multifamily is a two, three units in the entire town. [00:05:06] Sam Wilson: It's a tiny town, 3000, 4000 people, but it's down the road from a major vacation destination, New Buffalo, and you know, you're still a short shot, St. Joseph with Whirlpool headquarters. And so I play in these smaller markets. Niles is a town of, you know, 20, 30,000. That's the next exit up from south bend where Notre Dame is. [00:05:28] Sam Wilson: But again, smaller MSA, smaller town, lot less investors out clamoring for these deals. So, gives me a shot to get in and be able to, to build a portfolio.  [00:05:40] Sam Wilson: Yeah. That's really a compelling thesis, especially, I mean, it's all within striking distance from where you live currently, is that right? [00:05:49] Joel Florek: Originally, no. The first portfolio that I built up was all an iron mountain. So I built that 23 units in Iron Mountain, Michigan, which now is like 500 miles from me. But that's where I was out of college. I lived in the town, bought the units and that town eventually chased my wife down here to where she's from. [00:06:09] Joel Florek: And we're managing those units in-house, 500 miles away for years, went really well. Sold off that portfolio last year, did a lot of trading last year. But now yes, all our portfolio is, you know, more or less within our area that I have a management team, takes care of the day-to-day campgrounds like four and a half hours away so we're kind of back in that boat again.  [00:06:33] Sam Wilson: And that, that sounds like sorta what you'd have to do, I would think, you know, if you're buying 16 unit properties, things like that in various small towns, like one, you're going to have to know the small towns, I would think. And two, it needs to be within striking distance probably of where you live. [00:06:50] Sam Wilson: This isn't the, Hey, we're buying 400 units in Orlando. We can manage it from Cincinnati pipe a by it's.  [00:06:57] Joel Florek: Correct, correct. And, and even so, you know, I've had so many other deals have been brought to me where if they were closer to my portfolio, I'd say, yeah, absolutely. But it's an hour in the wrong direction yet from where my stuff is. [00:07:13] Joel Florek: So it's like, yeah, that would have been a great 20 units to pick up, but it's just a little too far to put onto my team for management. So it won't work for us. So yeah, you're certainly spot on, but my last purchase was a 44 unit. We just closed last month. [00:07:31] Joel Florek: Last August closed on 48 units, closed on a 40 unit December before that. So right now we're kind of playing in that 50 unit range is, is where we're finding that can be competitive going out in the marketplace that I'm still seeing the cash flow and the returns that are attractive enough.  [00:07:54] Sam Wilson: Tell me on the cap rate basis. Where are these units falling for you as a small, I'm using your term, small-town investor, like what do you see on a cap rate basis for a 50 unit and under multifamily property?  [00:08:05] Joel Florek: It's a loaded question. It's a loaded question. So, I love these conversations because, you know, it obviously would be super easy if we could just be like, oh yeah, this is what the cap rate is, like super easy. But you know, of course, it depends what class of asset we're talking about. [00:08:25] Joel Florek: The 44 unit that we just closed, you know, this is over in Chester, Indiana. It's a small town but it's very much a part of the Chicago, Northwest Indiana, MSA. That's definitely more of a dense Metro area or suburban. But, you know, I'll use like my 48 unit that I closed over Niles as an example of the 40 unit. [00:08:46] Joel Florek: Both of those we purchased at probably like high five low six cap, depending on the, how you would underwrite. But in both cases, there were very clear opportunities for value-add. The 48 unit, for example, our units are $250 a unit under market rate in as is condition.  [00:09:09] Sam Wilson: Wow.  [00:09:10] Joel Florek: So the challenge that you have in many of these markets though, is there are very few comps for you to simply go out and be like, oh yeah, that's what the market is for these units. It's like, you know, like, yeah, there's this other complex, but those units are kind of junk, but they're getting that? Like, I think we could probably do better. So again, you really got to know your markets and you can find these amazing diamonds in the rough where it's like, wow, this thing's killer. [00:09:39] Sam Wilson: Right? Right. That is a challenge. Something I wouldn't have thought about. What are you comping this up against, especially if you're the only, what'd you say, you bought a property and you were the only property in town outside of a triplex or two triplex. [00:09:50] Joel Florek: Yeah, Three Oaks. Exactly. So you're not drawing comps necessarily from that town. What you're doing is you're looking at all the little towns within a 20-minute drive and trying to say, where are all of those little towns at? And is there any reason why this little town wouldn't be the same because, you know, people commute from one town to the next, to the next. So, you know, they live in our particular community because it's got this adorable little downtown and bus stop happens to be, you know, right at the property. You go to a great school district in the next town over.  [00:10:28] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. Tell me about financing these deals. Are you the majority owner in them? Do you have, have you been able to build this portfolio on your own? What's that look like?  [00:10:37] Joel Florek: Yeah, so like the 48 unit, that was a purchase that I did on my own, the 40 unit. Recently a 44 unit purchase, as well as a 15 unit townhome portfolio that we bought. Those were all syndicated deals. In each of those cases, I would be the largest owner in any of those deals. In all cases have been financing through larger regional or community. Banks that have an emphasis on lending in commercial real estate, particularly a, you know, strong multifamily arm. So, I've got a shortlist of a half dozen different lenders that I know are competitive in the area and have the benefit of being, you know, right near Chicago. They get, we talk about small towns, but again, I'm just over an hour. Downtown loop Chicago. So we have a huge number of lenders available that play all day in the Chicago MSA. [00:11:37] Joel Florek: And you can convince those lenders to stretch out if you build a relationship. So they might take a little risk on one deal. And if we have a good, you know, good relationship, they'll expand that beyond their normal footprint on a client by client basis.  [00:11:53] Sam Wilson: Got it. Tell me about this 15 unit. We talked about this a little bit. It was kind of a unique financing where you did a buyout, I think, of your investors or something. [00:12:03] Joel Florek: We're right in the process of executing the exit for our investors. Just about three years ago, back in 2019. I purchase this 15-unit townhome portfolio in Chesterton, Indiana. [00:12:14] Joel Florek: And the deal's been great. We've exceeded every metric along the way. Our investors have been getting about 10% cash on cash returns over the last year. You know, they get their monthly distribution and it's been everything that we expected it to be and more. Operationally, the way that we structured the contract, the syndication is that the general partners would have the right to buy out the limited partner shares via an 18% IRR after a 36-month period. And the reason why we did that is, you know, typically investors want to see a defined time horizon on what their investment is going to look. Right. That's why you typically hear 3, 5, 7-year time horizon for syndications. Well, we're really sure. [00:13:05] Joel Florek: I mean, it's this awesome portfolio and I'd love to hang on to these things potentially long-term. So from that standpoint, why kill the golden goose? I looked at it back in 2019. I said, well, I don't know what the world is gonna look like three years from now. And you know, I do know though that there's a good chance that I may just want to keep hanging onto these things for as long as I own properties in this area, it fits that definition of that like upper-class B class, a very insulated, like it's going to be super hard to near impossible for someone to build something new and compete with me. So, so yeah, so we structured this, so investors have a defined time horizon on their investment. They also have an expectation, you know, that the buyout is based on an IRR, which makes it really clear how we're going to define what their shares are valued at come to exit, and then we can just have a really clean refinanced, buy out the investors. And, you know, I'll be able to hang onto this deal for as long as we have it. [00:14:10] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah. You can buy out the investors you know, via refinance. Are you putting any cash into the deal as well when you buy them out in order to make it hit that 18 IRR or has it just worked out such that, you know, you're able to do this with a refinance and plus the cash flows and they hit their number? [00:14:26] Joel Florek: In this particular deal, we'll have no problem with the refinance.  [00:14:30] Sam Wilson: Got it. Got it.  [00:14:31] Joel Florek: Yeah, there, there won't be any issues whatsoever.  [00:14:34] Sam Wilson: Cool. Tell me about the RV outdoor hospitality campground. What's that look like and why the, why the left turn into that?  [00:14:42] Joel Florek: You know, part of it is just want to get a different challenge. I feel like apartments, you know, it's kinda the same thing over and over and over again. It's the exact same business plan, more or less the same problems that you ended up dealing with over and over and over again. And one of the things I was concerned about was burnout. I didn't want to get burned out of multifamily and then make some rash decision to say, you know, throw my hands up. I'm out of this game.  [00:15:11] Joel Florek: I want to make sure that I still love and enjoy all the benefits that come along with multifamily for the long term. And knowing my own personality, I think a great way to do that is to have a professional distraction that can pull me away and let me just get some of those creative juices out in another manner.  [00:15:32] Joel Florek: Beyond that, there are, you know, there's a whole list of reasons. Number one, cash flow is generally much stronger. You're buying at eight to 12 caps in that space and I'm getting the same financing on those properties as I can multifamily. So right there, you know that yeah, cash flow is going to be much stronger. The number of levers that you can pull when it comes to adding value to those properties is infinitely larger. Kind of a cool thing, there was an old airstream that was for sale on the highway. And we said, screw it, let's buy that thing. So we, we did that on a whim, bought that the other month because one of the things we want to do is park models. [00:16:12] Joel Florek: So I don't have to get any approvals from any agencies to renovate this airstream, put it on my property and rent it out as like an Airbnb. So what we're going to end up doing, our idea, our vision, as we'd like to get five, six airstreams and do like a little airstream village on the property, string lights through the trees. [00:16:32] Joel Florek: So that's one of those, like I say, just kind of creative, fun things that we get to do in this space. My wife wanted to kind of get involved in business. She has no desire to get involved in multifamily, but the campground thing was really appealing to her. You're really doing short-term rentals and this and that, but we wanted something that was scalable and larger than just going and buying one vacation rental. [00:16:56] Joel Florek: So this fit the mold. We have a team of six employees who are on-site who take care of all the day-to-day operations for us. And I was able to hire and bring onto the team some of my family members as well to help us in certain capacities. So, it's become this family business for us and we're just in the beginning of it. [00:17:17] Joel Florek: Pretty cool thing, you know, like I say, it's yeah, yeah. It's pretty fun. And like I say, from a cash flow standpoint, stronger cash flow, more opportunities to add value. Again, still a very scalable business. You'll get, you know, one of the largest multifamily owners in the country, Sam Zell, while he also is in mobile home parks. [00:17:40] Joel Florek: And he's also the largest owner of RV parks around the country. So, there's a reason why he plays in those sandboxes because, you know, they're, they're very, very interesting and lucrative financial investments within the real estate space.  [00:17:56] Sam Wilson: I love it. I love it. Joel, thank you for taking the time to share with us kind of your story of how you've grown your portfolio, how you found value and found out ways to add value, especially buying in small towns and just that, that unique strategy. [00:18:09] Sam Wilson: I think that's the cool thing about real estate is there's just, there's no end to really the unique ways that people have figured out, Hey, this, this is the way it works both for your personality and for your you know, for your own checkbook. It's like, okay, this works for my life and for how we want to do things. [00:18:24] Sam Wilson: And then of course I love the campground. What'd you call it a professional distraction. So that's absolutely awesome. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that.  [00:18:36] Joel Florek: Yeah, feel free to give me a call 9 0 6 4 5 8 8 3 5 6. Find me on Facebook, would love to chat more. [00:18:43] Sam Wilson: Awesome. Joel, thank you for your time today. We'll certainly include all of that information as well in the show notes, have a great rest of your day.  [00:18:49] Joel Florek: Awesome. Hey, thank you very much for having me.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Rupa Health. We are living in an epidemic of chronic disease that is destroying our health, our communities, and our economy. The common denominator between all of these things is food, or more specifically, our food system. The way our food is grown, transported, processed, and consumed is making us sick and driving health disparities related to income and race, especially among marginalized groups. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Marcia Chatelain, Dr. Rupa Marya, Raj Patel, and Karen Washington about creating a society that cultivates health, how our existing social structures predispose us to illness, and how we can make great changes to our food system through grassroots efforts. Dr. Marcia Chatelain is a professor of history and African American studies at Georgetown University. The author of South Side Girls: Growing up in the Great Migration, she teaches about women's and girls' history, as well as black capitalism. Her latest book, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, examines the intricate relationship among African American politicians, civil rights organizations, communities, and the fast food industry. Dr. Rupa Marya is an associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, where she practices and teaches Internal Medicine. Her research examines the health impacts of social systems, from agriculture to policing. She is a cofounder of the Do No Harm Coalition, a collective of health workers committed to addressing disease through structural change. Raj Patel is a research professor at the University of Texas at Austin's Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs, a professor in the university's department of nutrition, and a research associate at Rhodes University, South Africa. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved, the New York Times bestselling The Value of Nothing, and coauthor of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. Karen Washington is a farmer, activist, and food advocate. She is the co-owner and farmer at Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York. Karen cofounded Black Urban Growers (BUGS), an organization supporting growers in both urban and rural settings. In 2012, Ebony magazine voted her one of the 100 most influential African Americans in the country, and in 2014 Karen was the recipient of the James Beard Leadership Award.
