Podcast appearances and mentions of collin schwartz

In this episode of REIA Radio, we bring back one of our most downloaded guests ever — Collin Schwartz. A lot has changed since Collin's first appearance at Episode 16. He opens up about his insane crypto rollercoaster, losing (and almost recovering) six figures with one wrong click, and why Bud Light NFTs were a terrible investment. More importantly, Collin shares the real gold: how he's evolved mentally, physically, and financially over the last few years — from battling burnout and bad health to building better businesses and a better life.We talk about trusting your gut, surrounding yourself with the right people, biohacking, the realities of money versus fulfillment, and why constantly reinventing yourself isn't just smart — it's necessary. Whether you're a beginner in real estate or 500 units deep, this is one of those "stop what you're doing and pay attention" episodes.If you got even one thing out of this episode (and honestly, if you didn't, that's a "you" problem), please leave us a five-star review.

Brad Clark was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa but grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska. While working at Hyvee, he met the infamous Collin Schwartz with whom he would go onto to build a beautiful bromantic friendship. During this time, Brad graduated from UNO with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science. With Collin's encouragement, he began educating himself on everything real estate through audibles, podcasts and other educational resources . Brad also worked as a Personal Trainer, first at Union Pacific but quickly transitioned to Crossfit where he felt he was making more of a difference in people's lives. He has an interesting story that involved him going to Kuwait for Crossfit, which you's hear about in the podcast. As much as he loved it, being a personal trainer couldn't have been sustained long term. Today, Brad owns 28 doors comprising 4 multi families and 1 single family home. He's also part owner of Bricktown Construction, an ancillary business of Bricktown Management. Brad's Failing Forward features one hell of a story staring none other than Owen, but also teaches us the importance of proper communication and preparation.

Collin's early stages of Real Estate Investing in Omaha actually involved our very own hosts. Owen, who he connected with through Bigger Pockets, has built a relationship with Collin that has since evolved not only into multiple business partnerships but also very good friends. Ted's origin story with Collin eventually led to an introduction to Collin's current business partner, Chris Pomerleau. Ted also assisted in negotiations when Collin bought his first million dollar multi-family property a mere 14 months after his first investment, creatively financing the downpayment by combining a HELOC and refinancing 2 of his smaller multi-family units. Collin quit his job in February of 2018 and his growth to date has been exponential with 1800 units owned across multiple states, multiple development projects and multiple businesses in Omaha and and out of state. Collin's failing forward teaches us to be thorough on our numbers, especially when it applies to getting an appraisal, but also generally when someone else's opinion can make or break a deal. Truck loads of Golden nuggets in this one. Grab your pens and take notes.

Join Duc and Vince as they chat with Chris Pomerleau and Collin Schwartz about creating business partnerships and scaling multifamily investing. Colin used to work nine-to-five desk jobs before owning Bricktown Management. Meanwhile, Chris served in the U.S. Army for a while before practicing law and learning about real estate.

Now, if you, too, seek financial freedom, tune in to today's episode and learn more about how Chris and Collin got theirs!  Building Relationships in Business We build relationships as soon as we are born, and we continue to do so every day since then. But, among the people we meet throughout our lives, only a few see the world the same as we do. Hence, why meetups, even small ones, are essential for entrepreneurs. They connect like-minded people from different fields, spawning projects upon projects, often leading to successful businesses. However, meetups are not the only ways to build relationships in the industry.  Nowadays, social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn are the more popular choices. Here, meeting investors can also double as making friends, which gives partnerships a more solid foundation.  About Chris Pomerleau and Collin Schwartz: Chris Pomerleau and Collin Schartz are the founders of Park Ave Capital, LLC. As the Director of Investment Strategy, Chris oversees the acquisitions of assets and business development activities. Meanwhile, Collin manages the day-to-day operations of investments as the Director of Operations.  Outline of the episode:  ●    [04:47] What motivated them to pursue an entrepreneurial path. ●    [06:38] How the two scaled to 50 million dollars in assets in 3 years. ●    [08:33] Their most recent deal from friend Steven Ward. ●    [14:07] Chris' law experience and the syndication business. ●    [21:19] Knowing what tool to use to take down values and deals. ●    [23:14] How their largest meetup helped grow the business. ●    [29:15] Collin's transferable skills from his desk job to real estate. ●    [32:06] The first company that started the Chris and Collin dynamic duo. ●    [32:56] Tackling vertically integrated property management. ●    [38:06] Chris and Collin's favorite systems, which improved effectiveness and efficiency. ●    [42:14] The dynamic duo's superpowers. ●    [43:23] The most important lessons they learned in both of their careers. ●    [44:14] Chris and Collin's advice in gaining financial freedom.   Resources: ●    Company Website: https://parkaveinvesting.com ●    Chris Pomerleau's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cashflowwithchris ●    Collin Schwartz' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-schwartz-64519953 ●    “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1612680194   Connect with The Cashflow Project! ●    Website ●     LinkedIn ●    Youtube ●    Facebook ●    Instagram

Unlike single-family investing, multifamily is a team sport, and developing successful partnerships is a proven way to scale a portfolio. There are so many skills involved from finding deals, analyzing deals, making offers, managing renovations, and property management. It’s critical to build a great team and that starts with an ideal partner. But how do you find a great partner? There are various ways to find the perfect alliance, but an interesting approach is to partner with your competition. This is exactly what Chris Pomerleau and Collin Schwartz did.   After Chris and Collin found themselves competing on the same properties, they decided to sit down and see if joining the same team would create a winning partnership. Together, they launched Park Ave Capital which invests in multifamily properties in the heartland of America. Their focus markets include Omaha, Tulsa, Sioux Falls, and Kansas City.    Chris has a background in law and served in the military. Collin created his own property management company after getting his start in retail. Together, they bring a complementary set of skills to find, renovate, and manage properties. They have a portfolio with over 700 units under management and continue to grow.   In this episode, we discuss best practices for forming and running a partnership, insights on the Omaha market and what makes it unique, the challenges of building a winning culture as a property management firm, and comparing the pros and cons of running an in-house PM company to utilizing a third party property manager.       Partner: 1 Question Marketing Survey for New Event   Key Insights on Partnering with Your Competition Both live in Omaha Nebraska, Chris was in the military and practicing law; Collin started a PM firm They invest in Sioux Falls, Tulsa, and Omaha with 700 units under management Competed on deals and then decided to partner Found themselves replicating tasks early in the partnership Splitting roles and profits in a partnership One key solution for partnerships: constant deal flow It’s important to just figure out who is doing what Omaha falls in line with opportunities in the Midwest - less appreciation, less volatility Less competition from larger institutions and syndications, ability to find mom and pop owners where there is a value-add opportunity Omaha was ranked as one of the top 5 markets during COVID by YARDI for rental increase First National Bank, Union-Pacific Railroad, and Mutual of Omaha are stable employers Property management is difficult until you set up systems and get a good team Take care of your residents, employees, and contractors  Collin only focuses on managing their own assets in Omaha Third-Party Property Management vs. In-House Property Management Partner: Download our Sample Deal Package Bullseye Tips:   Apparent Failure: Using the agent’s pro forma to analyze a property and not including enough reserves   Digital Resource: Syndication Pro   Most Recommended Book: Shoe Dog by Phil Knight The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy   Daily Habit: Waking up early, journaling, writing down goals   Wish I Knew When I Was Starting Out: Don’t do everything yourself and think bigger   Best Place to Grab a Bite Block 16 Mahogany   Contact Chris and Collin: LinkedIn for Chris and Collin Parkaveinvesting.com partneringchecklist.com

Pursuing real estate full-time, either as an operator or an investor, is no easy feat. While there are some stories of meteoric rises, it is consistent hard work that moves the needle, albeit slowly at times. Our guest today, Collin Schwartz, has seen tremendous success fueled by 16-hour workdays and more sacrifices than he could count. In this episode, Collin walks us through his journey and how he went from tearing his hair out at his W2 to being driven by his passion for real estate. As a property manager and investor, Collin has a well-rounded knowledge of real estate. That does not stop him from learning more through continued education. He also sheds light on the meetup group that he started and how this has been instrumental in his success. ---Our gracious sponsor: Gene Trowbridge and Jillian Sidoti, founding partners of the top syndication law firm Trowbridge Sidoti, have a legal team with over 88 years of combined legal experience. That team, along with their amazing support staff, has helped clients raise over 3.7 billion dollars in offerings by being dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs to raise capital legally, while allowing them time for other important things in their life.
