Episode: Fast & Easy Multifamily Lending with StackSource Founder Tim MilazzoGuest: Tim Milazzo is the co-founder of StackSource, a technology driven engine for funding commercial real estate deals of all types.  Big Idea: Having access tofast & easy multifamily lending, or any other commercial funding, is the first step to scaling a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio.  The commercial loan landscape is extremely fragmented, with many lenders focused on only certain asset types, loan sizes, or other niche spaces at any given time.  StackSource is a national high volume aggregator of lenders, loan types & contacts, providing borrowers the faster method for finding the correct lender for your particular asset type.    Tim & I discuss how this volume of lenders will put you in a position of strength when you're funding a deal.  Obtaining multiple, competing loan term sheets can be difficult when you're buying a commercial deal because of the short timeline to closing.  The StackSource platform allows you to provide details of your project-whether multi family, industrial, commercial, etc- and then matches your loan type with those lending institutions currently lending in your local market and funding your specific deal type.  The end result is multiple term sheets allowing you to select the best option for your deal.  This is a contrast to how I've bought my last half dozen multi family projects:  calling around asking people I know who is funding this type of deal-then submitting my deal details to that single lender and obtaining one term sheet.  My way is a position of weakness-I am stuck riding with that single lender on that deal.  It's worked out for me because I'm lucky to have found the right lender for my type of loan.  Shall we begin?This Episode of The REI Diamonds Show is Sponsored by the Deal Machine.

I'm your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 206 on fast and easy multifamily lending with StackSource founder, Tim Milazzo. If you're into building wealth through real estate investing, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high-caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers, invite them on the show, and then draw out the jewels of wisdom. Those tactics, mindsets, methods used to create millions of dollars more in the business of real estate. Having access to fast and easy multifamily lending or any other commercial funding is the first step to scaling a multimillion-dollar commercial real estate portfolio. The commercial loan landscape is extremely fragmented with many lenders focused only on certain asset types, or certain loan sizes, or other niche spaces at any given time. StackSource is a national, high-volume, aggregator of those lenders, loan types, contacts, etcetara, providing you, the borrower, with the faster method for finding the correct lender for your particular asset type.On today's episode, Tim and I discuss how this volume of lenders that StackSource has aggregated will put you in a position of strength when you are funding a deal. Obtaining multiple competing loan term sheets can be difficult when you're buying a commercial deal because of the short timeline to closing. It's multiple calls to the lenders that you're googling and they don't do this kind of asset type, etcetara. Whereas the StackSource platform allows you to provide the details of your project, whether multifamily, industrial. commercial, etcetera, and then matches your loan type with those lending institutions currently lending in that local market and funding your specific deal type. So, the end result is a multiple term sheets allowing you to select the best option for your deal, and then proceed with a complete loan package. And this is in contrast to how I bought my last half dozen multifamily projects which was going around, asking people I know who is funding this type of deal, and then submitting my deal details to that single lender, and obtaining a single term sheet. So, I kind of had no other options if that lender did not work out, and I didn't really have the ability to shop the deal due to lack of time and lack of contacts. Whereas I didn't have access to this platform.So, my way was a position of weakness and I'm stuck riding with that single lender on that deal. Now, luckily, it worked out for me because I found just the right lender for just the right loan type who lends in my market but that's not always the case, and the challenge can be even greater if you're investing all over the US.Tim & I Discuss StackSource & Multifamily Lending:·         Hottest Sectors in Commercial Real Estate·         How to Finance Multifamily Investments·         Obtaining Fastest Rate & Term Quotes ·         Finding Commercial Funding Anywhere in the U.S.Relevant Episodes: (There are 206 Content Packed Interviews in Total) Joe Mueller, REO Broker & Investor on Picking the BEST Deals for Your Portfolio John Matheson on How to Access Commercial Credit Dan Breslin on Raising Private Money for Single Family Flips Dave Orloff on Financing Rentals & Fix & Flip Deals

Shall We Begin? Hi, welcome to the REI Diamond Show, Chad. How you doing today?Chad Keller: Good, Dan. How about yourself?Dan: I'm also doing well. Yeah, so let's get started with a little bit of a location stamp. I'm recording from Chicago. What market are you living focused in? And, before we dive into the rest of it, will probably start with real estate stuff. So market location.Chad: We're in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We work with investors throughout the nation, but our market specifically is Pittsburgh.Dan: Okay, cool. Before we get into the real estate topic. I was doing some research on LinkedIn. I think I saw that you had built and sold 3 e-commerce brands. Would you mind just touching on that? Going a little bit of a dive on that before we get started?Chad: Yeah, that's pretty much actually how I got into marketing. It was about 8 years ago. I was selling products on Amazon. Facebook was kind of in its heyday where you could really put up anything and have a good product that differentiate itself a little bit. And that's when ads were so new, ad space was very cheap. You could get like 10 to 15 row ads which is return on your spend on those channel, on Facebook specifically. So I was able to grow e-commerce brand, pretty large and about 18 months off of that one brand. It was actually a brand that we put wood veneer that you put on kitchen cabinets. We put on phone cases, bottle openers, a lot of wholesale and everything. But also then created other brands that would sell those products without the veneer on. So it was like three brands and companies within one product. It's able to do that acquired. We were making so much money having videos go viral. Reinvesting that money in Facebook so I kind of self-taught myself Facebook from that. And then, started consulting for startups and then get more into market, in certain marketing agency.Chad & I Discuss Running Ads on Facebook:·        How to Run Effective Ads·        Why Spending MORE per Lead is Better·        Minimum Effective Budgets·        Mistakes made When Advertising for Seller LeadsRelevant Episodes: (There are 201 Content Packed Interviews in Total)• Tod Holland on How to Advertise for Sellers with Facebook• Jack Barry on Building & Managing an Effective & Profitable Real Estate Brokerage Team• From Corp America to Owning $42 Million in Multi-Family Real Estate with Agostino Pintus• REI Diamonds Show with Abhi Golhar on Attracting Off Market Deals & Scaling to Larger New Construction Tract Developments in Atlanta Georgia• How to Rehab a House the RIGHT Way with Van Sturgeon• Motivated Seller Leads from REI Radio Advertising with Chris Arnold – Real Estate Investor

Episode: Life Lessons on Prosperity with The Wealthy Gardener author John SoforicGuest: Dr. John Soforic was a once chiropractor with 200k in student debt. He retired at 49 with a retirement income of $240,000. He then wrote a book for his son in college: The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity between Father and Son. The book became an Amazon bestseller, hit #46 worldwide on audible, and has been translated into 6 languages.Big Idea: Generational Wealth is not just money, equity, or numbers on the balance sheet.   One very critical component of wealth his the knowledge on how to steward that wealth, a critical piece missing from so many estate plans.  John viewed this challenge in his own life as he sought to inspire his 19 year old son to absorb and learn the wisdom he'd discovered over the decade of building his own wealth.  And so The Wealthy Gardener was born.  I listened on audible myself and then found myself immediately recommending the book to a few friends of mine who are early in their real estate investing career.  I'd describe this book as the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” for the new generation, but with a greater focus on real estate and the mindsets needed to create a wealthy life.  John and I discuss real estate, my juvenile delinquent past, our shared experience of having a child attend Temple University, and of course his book, The Wealthy Gardener.  Please enjoy this conversation with John Soforic.This Episode of The REI Diamonds Show is Sponsored by the Deal Machine.

Episode Topic: In this episode of Not Just A Transaction, hosts Nick Prefontaine and Zachary Beach speak with Dan Breslin of Diamond Equity Investments. He explains how he helps clean up neighborhoods by flipping outdated houses. He also shares how families can close the chapter without altering their memories by selling directly to an investor.

What you'll learn about in this episode: How Dan was able to start a career flipping houses after jail Why some people would rather forego making more profit and sell their home as-is How it is often simpler to sell to an investor than with a realtor Why the key to flipping houses is the fast and convenient sale How Diamond Equity Investments helps sellers close deals within hours or a few weeks Resources: Website: https://diamondequity.com Additional Resources: Pre Property Solutions website: https://www.prepropertysolutions.com/ Contact Us: https://www.prepropertysolutions.com/contact/ Dan Breslin's Bio: Dan Breslin is the current host of the REI Diamonds Podcast. He is the Founder and President of Diamond Equity Investments, a quick flip investing company with yearly revenues of over $3 million currently operating in Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa, and Miami. Since founding the company in 2006, he has closed hundreds of deals, all of those deals off-market except one, and that one was a bad deal. The one deal that he used an agent, he lost money on. These days, he does between anywhere from 25 and 50 deals, dealing directly with the seller every single month. Nick's Bio: In 2003, Nick Prefontaine was in a snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn't walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 3 months later, he was running out of Franciscan Children's hospital. Now Nick speaks to groups that benefit from his message of overcoming adversity. Nick grew up in the real estate industry and got started at an early age. Most notably, he was knocking on Pre-Foreclosure doors at 16, doing up to 50 doors a day. This experience helped shape Nick's real estate career. When someone opens the door you better have something compelling to say. Now, Nick specializes in working with lease purchase buyers to get them into a home and on the path to home ownership. That includes working with them throughout the entire deal which ends in them being able to get their own loan. Getting buyers to the finish line is something Nick and the entire Pre Property Solutions team take pride in. That is something that separates them from their competition. Regardless of a buyer's credit situation, he looks at their complete financial picture and comes up with a plan to get them into a home. Zachary's Bio: Zachary is an Amazon Best-Selling Author of The New Rules of Real Estate Investing and revised edition of Real Estate On Your Terms. He has been an authority in real estate for 7 years now and has personally completed hundreds of real estate transactions and has mentored investors to complete thousands of transactions.

His passion for family and business is what keeps him motivated and excited to take on each day.

Your source for real estate investment, Jewels of wisdom.Welcome to The REI Diamond Show. I'm your host Dan Breslin, and this is episode 196 on investing in 200 unit multifamily apartment buildings with Ken Gee. If you're into building wealth through real estate investing, you are in the right place.My goal is to identify high-caliber Real Estate Investors and other industry service providers, invite them on the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom, those tactics mindsets, and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of the real estate. Ken Gee is a multifamily syndication operator focused on buying and improving complexes and the 200 unit unless B and C markets throughout the United States. Ken and I in this episode discuss the timing and order of renovation of a large multifamily asset and how that's critical to the repositioning process. Spend money on the wrong items or in the wrong order and your target tenant population will ignore your property, damaging your returns. We also cover Tax Strategies, Market Selection, and how to vet a syndication operator through a third-party financial review. Please enjoy this conversation with Ken Gee.All right. Welcome to The REI Diamond Show, Ken. How are you doing today?Ken Gee: Doing great. How about yourself?Dan: Fantastic. Good time of year here in mid-summer and things are going well. The economy still holding together and stock markets up, right?Ken: That's right. Yes, sir.Dan: At the moment. Cool. So, Ken. Can you give our listeners a little bit of background history? So, what your career was? What has it developed into now in the real estate space?Ken: Sure. So, my career is actually taken a number of turns over the years. I initially got my finance degree from Toledo, Ohio, and became a commercial lender for 5 years with a small Regional Bank, or well, at the time was small, it's large now. And then, after about 5 years of that, I decided I wanted to be a CPA. So, with that, I got my CPA license and spent 7 years at Deloitte, in their tax practice, do an MA work. Working with a lot of private Equity Funds, had a lot of fun doing that. And then, at some point here, I bought some Cessna Pilot Centers. Most people don't make the jump from accounting to flying airplanes, but I did. It was a lot of fun. We owned 3 Cessna Pilot Centers for a number of years, and really enjoyed that business. But all through that time, I jumped into real estate back in 1997, and have not looked back since.So, it's all we do now — a hundred percent apartments. We were a vertically integrated real estate company. We do our own investments. We raise money syndications and funds, as well as do third-party management.Ken & I Discuss Investing in Multi Family Syndication:• How to Vet an Operators Financial History• Interest Rate Risk • Priority of Renovation Items• The Power of Procrastination Before RenovationRelevant Episodes: (There are 196 Content Packed Interviews in Total)• Growing a 1,000+ Unit Portfolio within a 20 min Radius with Jason Perohttps://bit.ly/3mh2cEX• Paul Sloate on 3rd Quarter 2018 Economic Market Updatehttps://bit.ly/3CZKkod• Sue Hough on Properly Planning Profitable Renovation Projectshttps://bit.ly/3mh8B38• 100+ Unit Apartment Syndication with Stephanie Walterhttps://bit.ly/2XJ2pqB• How to Become a Real Estate Developer with Adam Gilberthttps://bit.ly/37TAi9V• Converting Dead Leads to Cash with Chris Craddockhttps://bit.ly/3D2Xv7G

This is episode one hundred and ninety-five on Passive Investing in Apartment Syndications with Camilla Jeffs.Camilla Jeffs is the founder of Steady Stream Investments, a company focused on providing investment opportunities in large multifamily and senior housing communities.When you're investing in syndications, choosing the right operator is as important, if not even more important, than selecting the right market or asset. While you're technically investing into an apartment deal, you're really investing in the people who are running the deal. It's probably obvious. But by this line of reasoning, your ability to select profitable investments hinges on your ability to select the right people with whom you will invest.Camilla brings her background, her experience in the corporate HR world, her ability to select professional talent to the apartment syndication investing business.

But for anybody who may not recognize the name, could you kind of go through – we'll call it – the origination story?What did you do before real estate? How did you find real estate? How did real estate investing evolve into Steady Stream Investments in your business model today?Camilla: Yes. Perfect. I started real estate investing when I was quite young. I got my first property at the age of twenty-two. It was a house hack that we did.We didn't know about it. It wasn't a cool term back then, house hacking. We just figured out we want to own our own place, but we didn't have enough money to own our own place, basically.So we bought a home that had a basement apartment in it. We rented it out. It worked out perfect. We only paid about one hundred dollars a month in rent to live there. It even had a pool in the backyard. It was so cool.Camilla & I Discuss Passive Investing:• Investing in 100 Unit+ Apartment Deals• Market with the Most Promise• Identifying the Biggest Risk in a Syndication Deal• Understanding Whether You should consider Syndication InvestingRelevant Episodes: (There are 195 Content Packed Interviews in Total)• Being a Professional Passive Investor with Dr. Jeff Anzalonehttps://bit.ly/3CqnQfJ• 100+ Unit Apartment Syndication with Stephanie Walterhttps://bit.ly/3yvdlph• Marketing, Meetups & $100 Million in Apartment Syndications with Adam Adamshttps://bit.ly/3AilUnJ

Episode: How to Buy a House with No Money Down with Tim Padavic Guest: Tim Padavic is the Vice President of The Federal Savings Bank. He’s licensed to lend in all 50 states. Big Idea: Offering Your Retail Buyer “No Money Down” Wins More Deals (for Agents) & Keeps More Money in YOUR Pocket (for Flippers). Buying a house with no money down allows more buyers to participate in the red-hot real estate market. Recent surveys show the reason many buyers remain on the sideline is a limited savings for the down payment. Agents & buyers obviously benefit by knowing how to buy house with no money down. Fix & Flip investors also benefit because they can offer buyers of their projects the option of no-or certainly very low money down. If you’re flipping houses and use a real estate agent to sell your flips-you can share this episode & Tim’s contact info as a resource they might use in selling your house at a higher price. Think about it-if a buyer doesn’t need any money down-or any seller credits for down payment assistance, that money stays in YOUR pocket. Worth noting-this no money down strategy is only applicable on Owner Occupied residential property. This Episode of The REI Diamonds Show is Sponsored by the Deal Machine.

Agents and buyers obviously benefit by knowing how to buy a house with no money down and fix-and-flip investors also benefit because they can offer the buyers of their projects—the houses they’ve fixed to flip—the option of no money down or certainly very low money down financing. That’s the topic today. And if you’re flipping houses and you use a real estate agent to sell those flips, I suggest that you share this episode and Tim Padavic’s contact info at the end as a resource that they might use in selling your house at a higher price. Think about it. If a buyer doesn’t need any money down or any seller credits to cover closing costs or down payment assistance, the money stays in your pocket. I’m not getting paid for this. Tim’s not kicking me anything back. I just know Tim from my network. He’s a valuable resource for me on my flips and he is licensed in all 50 states so I invited him to come on the show as a value-add to you, the valued member of my network. Worth noting here before we get into the interview, this no money down strategy is only applicable on owner-occupied residential property. So, this is for owner-occupied properties. Tim, this episode, we do not discuss investor financing on this episode. Tim does not even get into investor financing. He specializes in homeowners looking to buy houses in which to live and that’s where the no money down financing mechanism that we’re going to discuss here today works. Ready to get started? Tim Padavic, welcome to the REI Diamond Show. Tim: In regards to how I get started, in ’98, I got started brokering loans. We actually did most of our business in the refinance and remodel business. We helped rehabbers remodel homes for the homebuyer or the homeowner and we would lower their payment and get them their home improvement, all the way until about 2008 when the collapse happened and then I’ve been doing purchases ever since. And most of my purchases, if not all of them, my specialty is people getting into their home either for the first time or maybe a move. They don’t really work with investors or second homes or anything like that. It’s not that I wouldn’t it, it’s just not my specialty. My specialty’s getting people into homes. People who are looking for a possibly a rehabbed home or upgrading to a rehabbed home. Something that is real nice for them to move into and the south side of Chicago has been a key focus of those rehabbed homes and the price points are right and some of the programs that we have available tie in really nicely.

Episode: Reverse Wholesaling with Kent Clothier of REWW Guest: Kent Clothier is the Founder & CEO of Real Estate World Wide and creator of the Boardroom Mastermind. Kent has purchased & sold more than 5,000 properties since 2005. Big Idea: “If I had to go make $100,000 this month, what would I do? Whatever the answer to that question-why aren’t you doing it?” Kent prompts his own further success asking this question of himself often. Kent asked me this question about 10 years ago, and my answer was Diamond Equity. In 2020, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac reported originating approx. $4.1 Trillion in mortgage loans. No doubt, we have all witness a very vibrant & hot market. They have forecasted $2.7 Trillion for 2021, most likely due to the low inventory situation. How can you position yourself to profit from this constrained market? Kent & I discuss this and other trends on this week’s episode.

Diamond show. I am your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 185 on reverse wholesaling with Kent Clothier of REWW. If you are into building wealth through real estate investing, congratulations you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers, invite them on the show, and then draw out the jewels of wisdom. Those tactics, mindsets, and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate. Today’s guest is Kent Clothier, the founder and CEO of Real Estate Worldwide. Real estate worldwide, also known as REWW, operates three core units. First is the Academy, the online education platform. Second is S.M.A.R.T., an online real estate investor data source, and the third is the Boardroom Mastermind, and Kent is a real estate investor first and foremost, and having purchased and sold more than 5,000 properties since 2005. So, today’s episode is one that I have personally been looking forward to for years, almost since I started the podcast. Kent is one of the early single-family real estate investor thought leaders who I personally paid attention to. We are talking 12 years now. And during the episode, you are going to hear my personal experience with Kent, including some watershed moments of my career, some like real big turning points that led me to where I am today, and those moments were spurred by ideas that Kent shared way way back in my career. And he also shares them again in a few moments. Ready to roll? Dan: All right, cool. Welcome to the The R.E.I. Diamonds Show. Kent, how are you doing today? Kent Clothier: I am doing good, brother. Thanks for having me. Dan: Yeah, for sure. Appreciate you blocking out the time to be with us. Just so the listeners who might not know who you already are, can you give us the background how you got started in real estate and what your primary business model looks like today? Kent: Yes. So, I have been doing it now for 18 years. Got started in the industry back in December of 2002, started wholesaling a few houses, got really good at it over the years. Started flipping, started wholesaling hundreds of houses a year down in South Florida. Before I knew it, we turned it into a turnkey operation back before that phrase even existed, and that company still operates today. My two brothers and my father run it based out of Memphis, Tennessee, it is called REI Nation. We basically turnkey about 800 properties a year in nine different cities, managed about 7,500 properties for our investors. So, it is our kind of primary real estate core business there. And on the flip side of that, I have been in the training education software space showing other investors how to do it for the last 15 years. And so back in 2006, I started a company called Real Estate Worldwide. Started showing people kind of what I had figured out, which was a process called reverse whole selling, and put together a lot of tools to show people how to be really successful at it, and happy to say that we have had about 60,000 people go through our education over the years now, a little over 60,000. And the latest and greatest thing that I am personally working on as I am out here really kind of evangelizing that now is the time to really start getting into the seller financing space just because of all the things that are happening in the current real estate market.

I am your host Dan Breslin and this is episode 184 on buying vacation rental property with Avery Carl. If you’re in the building wealth through real estate investing, congratulations, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers invite them on the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom those tactics mindsets and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate. Today we are joined by Avery Carl. Avery runs the Short Term Shop, a high-volume boutique real-estate firm focused on short-term vacation rentals. We cover exactly what’s needed to get into and profitably operate a vacation rental. We also talked about a few of the hottest vacation rental markets in the US and why those markets tend to be a more stable investment over the long term and finally, we discussed a few reasons why adding a vacation rental or two or three is a perfect start or addition to any real estate investors portfolio. No matter where you’re currently located. Let’s begin. All right Avery Carl, welcome to the REI Diamond Show. How you doing today? Avery Carl: Pretty good. How are you? Dan: I am doing well. So we’re just the beginning of February here for a timestamp. I am curious where you are recording from in the country and what the weather is like there currently? Avery: I am recording in 30A, Florida so Panhandle of Florida and it is about 65 degrees. Dan: Is that cold for you guys there? Avery: Yeah. Dan: Yeah. We’re getting the polar vortex here in Chicago and we have the ice shelf forming out the window here and it’s cold. It’s making me want to jump in the car and drive to Florida and spend some time in a vacation rental, which the’re all pretty much booked up in Florida right now. We checked but we all get to all that in a moment. So Avery, do you want to start out by telling us how you got started in real estate? And what does your primary business model look like today? Avery: Absolutely. So I kind of ended up in real estate and real estate investing by mistake or not by mistake. I just kind of fell into it, my husband and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2013 from New York City. And, obviously, we who can’t afford to buy something in New York City when you’re just starting out so we moved to Nashville so that we could buy a house and have some space. And, when we got there I didn’t have my real estate license yet. I was working as a marketing manager in the music business and our real estate agent was trying to get us to buy in this really hip superfast depreciating area of Nashville, and we didn’t really want to do that because we were just coming from Brooklyn really tired of neighbors.

Guest: Brandon Barnes focuses on virtual wholesale real estate investing in the Atlanta, Georgia market. He does over $1 million per year in revenue. Big Idea: “That’s a Real Estate Investor’s Superpower: Being Able to Comp Properties & Have a Feel for Purchase Price” Brandon mentions this “superpower” about half way into the interview. He’s spot on. The Real Estate Investor’s Superpower can be summed up in two main points. First you have to know how much to offer so that you get your offer accepted. Second, you have to know how much you can sell the house for once you’re done renovation. Or renting & refinancing if you’re planning to buy & hold. Brandon believes in Offers Over Appointments. In other words, he and his team would rather simply make offers over the phone than schedule face to face appointments. This is obvious if you’re a virtual wholesaler, but most of us in real estate prefer seeing the property prior to making an offer. You have to at least see photos before making an offer, right? The answer may surprise you. Check out the episode for full details. This Episode of The REI Diamonds Show is Sponsored by the Deal Machine.

I am your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 183 on Virtual Wholesale Real Estate Investing with Brandon Barnes. If you are into building wealth through real estate investing, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers. I invite them onto the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom, those tactics, mindsets and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate. Dan: Now, most real estate investors, including myself, prefer making offers after physically seeing the house. You go see the condition, underwrite the deal, figure out the values. They have to repair value and then make an offer. Today’s guest, Brandon Barnes, he used to do the same, but now, he prefers making all of his offers immediately over the phone without ever seeing the property or even seeing photos of the property. I mean, how does this work? Do we not need to know the condition of the house to make an offer or at a minimum, see the photos? These answers may surprise you. Dan: All right. Welcome Brandon Barnes to the REI Diamonds Show. How are you doing today? Brandon Barnes: Hey, I am well. Thank you for having me there. Dan: Yeah, for sure. It has been much anticipated. Your name has been floating around the Atlanta Market where I do a lot of business for the past couple years here. I was highly excited to look forward to having you get on the show here once we started getting together with bookings. For those that may not know who Brandon Barnes already is, do you want to kind of give a little bit of a background for us, Brandon? Maybe how you began real estate investing and maybe even the details about your first deal if you could go back to that origination. Brandon: Yeah, for sure. Look, I am here in the Atlanta area just like you mentioned. I started off my journey whole selling, specifically. I mean, that is just the art of finding off-market properties at a discount and kind of jumping to this game by chance, honestly. I gotten fired from a Corporate America job and I always thought I would climb the ladder and become an entrepreneur at some perfect opportunity, but I got fired. I reached out to a buddy that I knew from Pittsburgh when I was working for the HJ Heinz Company up there and I asked him what this real estate thing was all about. Brandon: He said he had actually moved to Atlanta and was following a mentor program for wholesaling and I should come by and listen to it and this is a great opportunity to start a business. I was sold. Just a few months in the second month, I sent a thousand postcards and got my first contract. By month three, I had actually done my first deal for 15K and never looked back. I split that deal with them and kept on mailing. It was a great intro into the business.

Some success stories begin at our parents' house or basements… and some others can begin at a jail cell. However, as Og Mandino once said, ‘failure will never overtake if one’s determination to succeed is strong enough’. That’s part of Dan Breslin’s story, founder and president of Diamond Equity Investments. Dan made his first real estate deal with $100 dollars only, and he’s been flipping properties since 2006 in big cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, and Tampa.  Dan passed from reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad in a jail cell, to buying houses, condos and apartment buildings “as is”, and selling them FAST. One of his first dreams, as he began knowing the real estate business, was to create the dream home for the newlywed couple, and by pursuing that dream, he has now fixed and flipped for more than 3 million dollars in revenue With any business and dream coming true, Having great people around you that are committed to the same cause when you are starting a business or want to make a dream come true, can lead you to commit greater opportunities for each other. Walk with us in this Income Hacker’s episode to discover how greed can cause you to dismiss the value of being in a partnership, and that maybe splitting gains is not as bad if you are making an actual profit.  “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” – Napoleon Hill Podcast Summary: What margins and ROI are income hackers looking for in a flix-n-flip or wholesale deal  04:00 - Dan’s background, starting out in Philadelphia investing $100 bucks to produce $6,000 in his first wholesale deal, and moving out to Chicago to be closer to her daughter, while also tackling the Florida and Atlanta markets. 10:28 - Dan’s first Income Hack and the mindset shift that his dad brought to him by pulling the trigger on a property and doing a fix-n-flip. 14:34 - How greed might cause you to dismiss the value of being in a partnership and why splitting gains is not as bad if you are making more profits.  18:15 - It’s all about having great people around you committed to the same cause and creating bigger and bigger opportunities for each other. 20:36 - Advice for newbies: How a wish differs from a burning desire and the will to make it happen. 23:01 - “Finding somebody in the marketplace who’s doing what it is that you want to do and finding a way to bring something of value to that person”. 27:52 - How to get your real estate career started by being the source of the deal. 29:58 - How to get off-market deals by making offers on properties that are not listed in the market or being contacted by the seller directly rather than a real estate agent. 31:44 - Strategies for finding off-market deals: from bandit signs and direct mail, to U-haul trucks and listsource.com. 42:36 - How Dan is teaching Income Hacking and an entrepreneurial spirit to his team members. 48:52 - Dan’s why: making dreams come true and carrying out God’s plan.   Connect with Dan Diamond Equity Investments REI Diamonds Podcast Subscribe to REI’s newsletter and Become a Wholesale Real Estate Master Contact Dan   Episode Resources Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

Dan Breslin is the current host of the REI Diamonds Podcast. Dan is the Founder & President of Diamond Equity Investments, a quick flip investment company with yearly revenues over $3 Million; currently operating in Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA, Tampa & Miami, FL. Since founding the company in 2006, he has closed hundreds of deals. All of those deal excluding ONE he purchased “Off Market”. That other one-the one he bought using an agent-he actually made a bad deal and lost money. These days he does between 25-50 “Off Market” directly with the Sellers every Month.

Dan Breslin has been in the real estate business for almost 12 years now. He is also one of the most prolific in the industry. In fact, he has 83 deals all lined up for him as of the moment. While he is now one of the most successful people in the real estate industry, his journey actually started out rocky. Fortunately, he came across 2 books that helped him change his life for the better—the Bible and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Earning a $6,000 assignment fee on his first deal however was not a guarantee he won't get back to his old ways. Thankfully, he picked up the Bible again and from there went on to give his life back to God and decided to follow the right path wholeheartedly. If you are looking for inspiration and motivation to start your real estate journey, this is one episode you shouldn't miss!

After listening to this podcast recorded for the REI Diamonds show with Dan Breslin, I realized there were too many solid learning points and discussions not to bring this to the Investor Empowerment Radio Show listeners.  In this episode we talk about my start up in the REO industry as well as my RE Investing beginnings, the state of the real estate market and what my personal experience tells me is going to happen next, as well as my worst and best deals.  This is quality stuff, don't miss it!

Dan Breslin fell on his face after the last market crash, was forced to take public transportation when his buddy's cars were not available, and started back up from Ground Zero a few short years ago.  Today Dan runs a full scale wholesaling and fix and flipping operation in 4 separate markets throughout the county making tens of thousands of dollars per month!  Dig into this incredible interview where Dan reveals how he built his team, the systems he using, and the mindset needed to make multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars per year all from his office in Chicago.  I shouldn't even have to say it, but you can't miss this!
