Steve and Alex discuss hard money loans for real estate investments as well as the real estate market in general. Hard money loans, also called bridge loans, are specialized lending instruments designed to assist real estate developers and house flippers who want to develop or renovate a property quickly and then sell it for a profit. These short-term loans are not generally available from traditional lending institutions such as banks but are offered instead by private lenders such as Investor Loan Source. Guest: Alexander Buriak, D.C. – COO at Investor Loan Source Our process for providing real estate investor funding is unique, as we place more emphasis on the hard asset and value of the collateral (property), and less on the borrower. Our asset-based real estate investment loan model means we can provide more real estate money to more investors than is available from standard bank loan models. If you’ve been seeking out a hard money loan for a real estate investment, you know that finding real estate investment property lenders who will loan cash for buying and fixing properties with a quick timeline is difficult. But this isn’t so with ILS. At ILS, providing real estate investor loans is our #1 business; it’s all we do. We offer several business real estate loan products designed to serve a variety of investor and property profiles, including owner-financed loans.

Guest: Todd Breen of Virtually Incredible, Surevestor and Home Property Management Todd has always been a visionary in the property management industry and was one of the first to use video in his property management company.  His company Virtually Incredible started as a place to train others on how to use video in their business. It has since expanded over the years to include outsourcing solutions for property management companies such as leasing line, video SEO, and tenant screening services. Todd talks about how he scaled his different businesses by both using outsourcing as well as building an outsourcing company.   Visionary vs System Integrator Roles Steve discusses how the visionary role in a company is different than the systems integrator role and the importance of both.  Sometimes you need to wear two hats and have the visionary interject their ideas into a systemized company so it doesn't get stuck in a routine by-the-book mentality and risk missing new, fresh ideas.   Keeping your finger on the pulse of the company Todd, Steve, and Alex discuss how involved they are in different aspects of the business in order to keep an eye on how things are going and to be able to take KPIs and identify problems early to implement a correction. There are benefits to having team members evaluate performance themselves to come up with ways to improve systems.  A great company has a balance of upper management having their finger on the pulse of the company and making decisions on the company's path forward while also taking in account any feedback from the staff that has the better feel for the customer/client's experience.   Setting company values Establishing company values is important in business, and using these values in your praise/critique of staff performance has proven to be very effective in building companies with a strong core set of values shared by all employees. When hiring employees from a different culture, Todd found it was important for HR to screen for a match of values when hiring.   Do you have set values in your company? Join our Facebook group and come discuss what you are doing at your company. Have you set your company's values? What are they?

Steve and Alex talk with Errol Allen about the importance of having systems and procedures in place in order to maximize the efficiency of how your business runs. When you flow chart how you step through specific tasks in the office, inefficiencies can be pinpointed and fixed. Training your employees properly allows you to hold them accountable for their performance. This also reduces turnover because employees have a clear understanding of what is expected. Documenting procedures is the key to properly train staff so they perform their tasks correctly every time. Task manuals show them exactly how to do their job. This also ensures that all clients receive the same experience and level of service regardless of which employee they are working with. Guest: Errol Allen of EA ConsultingInternationally known operations consultant, speaker, author and customer service expert Errol Allen provides practical advice and solutions garnered from over 25 years of hands – on experience. He possesses a multi-faceted perspective of organizations through the various positions held during his corporate tenure with companies such as ADT Security Systems, TCI Cablevision, The Houston Post, Excel Communications, e-talk and GEICO Insurance.
