In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, we catch up with Real Wealth member Kyle Nott, who was first featured in 2022.

Al Gordon welcomes Chuck and Laura to share their inspiring real estate journey. After joining Lifestyles Unlimited as Preferred Members, they fully embraced both the mentoring and vendor programs to guide their first deal. They purchased a property for $99K and invested $83K in renovations. The property later appraised at $275K, resulting in an impressive $93K equity capture. With just $15K out of pocket, their return on investment soared to 500%. Despite higher interest rates, the property still generates $105 in monthly cash flow, proving that equity capture and positive cash flow are achievable—even in today's market. Click to Listen Now

In this special “Coaching Call” Jake Wurzak goes solo to share everything he's learned from over a decade of raising capital in real estate. Drawing on personal experience—from his first $7 million deal with no clear path to funding, to building DoveHill into a hospitality investment platform—Jake walks through the real, unfiltered playbook for getting deals financed. This episode is packed with insights on how to approach high-net-worth individuals, build trust with investors, and create compelling deal collateral that actually converts. Jake also breaks down how he structures investor communications, designs pitch decks and memos, leverages tools like Juniper Square, and uses short personalized videos to bring deals to life. It's the same method he's using today to raise preferred equity for a current hotel redevelopment project in Savannah, Georgia. Key lessons include: - Why raising money for a single deal is easier than launching a fund - The importance of being honest, conservative, and clear with investors - How to use storytelling, design, and delivery to drive commitments - Tips for building investor databases, managing follow-ups, and closing deals - Real talk on sharing upside, walking away from bad capital, and learning through failure Whether you're about to raise your first $1 million or scaling to institutional capital, this behind-the-scenes coaching call gives you a candid, detailed roadmap for how to actually get it done.

If you're a strategy leader stepping into M&A or refining your inorganic growth strategy, there's one relationship that can either propel you forward or hold you back: your relationship with investment bankers. In this episode, we dive deep into the often opaque world of investment banking with two strategy executives who've worked across both sides of the deal table.    Together, our guests bring more than 40 years of combined experience across investment banking, M&A strategy, and corporate development—having led acquisitions and divestitures in both public and private companies, across industries and borders.  Michael Arlotto is the Global Head of Corporate Development and Ventures at Kenvue, an American consumer health company and the proprietor of many brands you've heard of, like Band-Aid, Benadryl, Neutrogena and Tylenol.  Chris Nuttall is the Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Bazaarvoice, an American tech company that helps brands collect and leverage UGC, which stands for user-generated content. Together, the three of us explore:- How to assess and build the right relationship with an investment banker  - What “transformative M&A” really means—and how to pull it off  - The soft skills and cultural fit that matter just as much as deal terms  - How to avoid M&A regret by starting with strategy and ending with integration  - Why successful M&A is less about buying a company—and more about buying into a multiyear business plan    Whether you're planning your first acquisition or fine-tuning your approach to external growth, this episode will help you build stronger partnerships, avoid costly missteps, and execute deals that deliver long-term value.Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks

This investor built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio with low-money-down loans and little cash-to-close. Thanks to his smart “rinse and repeat” strategy, he's quickly scaled from zero to 13 rental units in just four years, all while collecting thousands of dollars of cash flow a month. He would have never been able to get to this place if he hadn't followed a strategy many investors are too scared to try. Mike Johnson knew the best way to take bigger career risks was to have a backup plan. The ultimate passive income plan? Rental properties. But he didn't want to put 20% to 25% down on each property he bought, so he started where many investors do—house hacking. Four years later, he's continued his repeatable house hacking strategy, purchasing a new property every year, living in one unit, and renting out the others. This has allowed Mike to build a portfolio worth $3.4 million in just four years while buying in B+ or A-class neighborhoods and taking home a healthy amount of cash flow. But he has dealt with his fair share of headaches—squatters, non-paying tenants, and a lot of purple paint. Mike still says investing has been a massive win for him, and you can repeat his same strategy!  In This Episode We Cover: How to start investing in real estate with little money using the house hacking strategy  Why your primary residence IS an investment (and a phenomenal one at that) The biggest mistake Mike made that led to him buying a property with a squatter in the unit  The new 5% down multifamily loan you can use to buy bigger, better, more expensive properties  The cash flow AND appreciation market Mike is bullish on (and keeps investing in) When to self-manage vs. hire property management for your rentals  And So Much More!

House flipping can make you wealthy. Everyone has seen the TV shows, podcast interviews, and the high-priced renovations, even in their own neighborhoods. But what if where you live is WAY too expensive to flip houses? The home costs are high, the labor costs are high, and underpriced, outdated homes are hard to find. Thankfully, you're not out of luck. Today, we're teaching you how to flip houses from a distance, even thousands of miles away! Dominique Gunderson is currently flipping 12 houses from 2,000 miles away. Yes, it's possible (and profitable), and Dominique has made it her full-time business. As a Los Angeles native, Dominique couldn't afford anything in her home market, but through visiting family in New Orleans, she realized it was the perfect place to flip. So, she slowly started scaling a team that would allow her to be anywhere in the world while she ran her business. In only her mid-twenties, she's been able to build a team that takes care of the renovations and rehabs for her while she handles finding the deals and getting the funding. Today, she's teaching you how to do the same: build your out-of-state team, scale the right way, and when (and how) to delegate so you don't do all the work. She's even breaking down her profit margins and revealing how much you can actually make flipping in affordable markets. In This Episode We Cover: How to flip houses anywhere (and FROM anywhere!) without doing the work yourself How much long-distance flips can make you in 2025 (Dominique's profit margins) Building your boots-on-the-ground team to handle renovations for you When to flip vs. hold and signs a flip should become your next rental property  The secret to scaling your team so you can do less work and make more money  And So Much More!

Key Takeaways:Be very cautious of deals with extremely high cap rates (over 10%), as there are likely underlying issues with the property or tenant.Thoroughly vet the seller and ensure they are the actual owner of the property before proceeding. Verify ownership through title work.Conduct thorough due diligence, including a Phase 1 environmental study, to uncover any potential problems or liabilities.Have a commercial real estate attorney review all lease and purchase documents carefully before moving forward.Work with reputable title and escrow companies, not directly with the seller, to protect yourself from potential scams.Ensure the tenant's financials and business model make sense for the high rent being paid, as it may not be sustainable.

One of the most repeatable, scalable ways to build a real estate portfolio is using “The Stack” method. This investing strategy allows you to slowly scale your real estate using low-money-down loans, turning one down payment into multiple properties. It's one of the smartest, safest ways to build wealth, but it's almost been forgotten. Today, we're talking to an investor reviving “The Stack,” using it to build an eight-rental real estate portfolio starting with just $15,000. Like most investors, Connor Anderson had barely enough money to close on his first house, a condo. He scrounged together just $15,000 to buy his first property and immediately began to rent out the other rooms. But this was just the beginning for Connor. Over the next few years, Connor slowly turned the rent savings from that one condo into a single-family house, a duplex, and now a fourplex, which he is still house hacking in. The best part? Those properties he used to live in are now cash-flowing rentals WITH equity, which he has used to buy more properties. This is “The Stack” method done the right way, and if you want to safely, slowly, and steadily grow your rental portfolio without a ton of money, this is how to do it.  In This Episode We Cover: “The Stack” method and how to use it to build a rental portfolio with little money  Why you DON'T need to rush building a real estate portfolio to be successful One investing area that both Connor and Dave are very bullish on  How Connor scored a zero-dollar-down, off-market duplex  Interest rate buydowns and other strategies to create cash flow in 2025  And So Much More!

Nick breaks down his systems, how hiring VAs has helped scale his business, and why he's leaving traditional real estate behind for good. He and Ron also dive into why competition in land is almost nonexistent and why sticking to the basics will get you paid.

Laura Sides had zero real estate investing experience not too long ago. But, within just six weeks, she made $100,000 on her first real estate deal. How is that even possible? That type of profit is usually reserved for expert real estate investors, not middle-school science teachers! Today, Laura is uncovering the fast-flipping formula that helps her do quick, profitable real estate deals even in her competitive market. During a beach vacation to Florida, Laura read the personal finance and investing classic Rich Dad Poor Dad, and, seemingly overnight, her brain rewired as she became dead set on multiplying her money instead of working for every dollar. So, she took out a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to buy her first real estate deal, but where would it come from? A chance encounter with a neighbor would set her on a path that would change her life forever. Now, she's cracked the house flipping formula, has two killer rental properties she uses as her own vacation homes, and makes significantly more than her teacher's salary working on her schedule, building wealth her way. Want to be like Laura? We ALL do, and today, she's sharing how you can do it, too! In This Episode We Cover: How Laura made a six-figure profit in just six weeks on her FIRST real estate deal The house flipping formula Laura uses to buy low-stress, quick flips that make great profits Why you should ALWAYS be friendly with your neighbors (they might sell you their house) Using a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to buy your first investment property  What Laura looks for on property listings as telltale signs they'll be good deals  And So Much More!

Should you borrow money for your first real estate deal? We're not talking about taking an interest-free loan from your mom; we mean using “private money” to finance your investment. This type of investment property financing is usually reserved for the more experienced investors, but is it a bad idea for someone with such little experience? Is there another way to finance your first deal that gives you more wiggle room if you make a mistake? This is just one of the BiggerPockets Forum questions we're answering today from investors like you. One investor on her second rental wants to know whether bankruptcy or late payments is an immediate red flag in a tenant application. She's struggling to fill up her property, so should she take on a tenant with sub-optimal finances? What do you do when you inherit a tenant paying substantially under-market rent? How do you raise rents the right way? Finally, Henry the house flipper shares his thoughts on the 70% rule and gives his own house-flipping formula you can perform on the spot to see if your deal is a steal! Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question on the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover: Whether you should or shouldn't borrow private money for your first real estate deal Tenant red flags and what to do when you're struggling to fill a vacancy  Raising rents on inherited tenants and why we DON'T ask for market rates  How to attract better tenants to your rental property (and whether to lower the price) Henry's house-flipping formula that beats the 70% rule calculation And So Much More!

In this episode of the Small Axe Podcast, Nico shares his insights on acquiring multifamily properties without needing a huge upfront investment. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, Nico dives deep into both traditional and creative financing strategies to help you get into the apartment complex game.   Key Takeaways:   1. Getting Started with Traditional Financing     - Learn about commercial loans for multifamily properties, typically available for buildings with five or more units.    - Discover why most first-time buyers begin with local banks or credit unions that understand the area and asset class.    - Nico explains loan options such as 20-30 year amortizations, interest-only payments, and how to shop around for the best rates.   2. Creative Financing Options     - If traditional banks don't work out, explore creative strategies like seller financing, where the seller holds the note.    - Hear examples of how Nico and other investors negotiate terms like down payments, interest rates, and even deferred payments with seller financing.   3. Alternative Funding Sources for Down Payments    - If you don't have the required down payment, there are several ways to raise it, including joint ventures, partnerships, retirement accounts, and tapping into home equity.    - Understand how syndications work, where you can raise capital from limited partners to fund a portion or even the entire deal.   4. Exploring Non-Traditional Financing Techniques     - Find out about master lease agreements, loan assumptions, and the benefits and risks of using these methods to structure a deal when traditional bank loans aren't feasible.   5. Joint Ventures and Partnerships    - Nico discusses the importance of partnering with people who align with your goals and values, particularly in joint ventures where all parties are active in the deal.   Resources Mentioned: - *Creative Cash* by Bill Ham – A book on structuring deals creatively, which helped Nico understand and apply creative financing strategies in multifamily investing.   Quotes: - "It's possible to get into your first apartment complex without a ton of cash if you're open to exploring different financing methods." - "When structuring a deal, make sure to align with your partners and carefully consider each financing option."   Action Steps: 1. Evaluate your available financing options for multifamily investing, starting with traditional bank loans. 2. Research creative financing techniques like seller financing and master lease agreements. 3. Think about potential partnerships or joint ventures for raising a down payment. 4. Start building relationships with community banks and credit unions for better financing terms.   Want More Help?

The combination of saving money and buying rentals is a recipe for reaching financial independence much faster than you thought possible. Just ask today's guest, who started with tens of thousands of dollars in debt but was able to achieve FI in just a few years! Henry Washington is a real estate investor, author of Real Estate Deal Maker, and co-host of the On the Market podcast, but he doesn't have your typical “rags-to-riches” money story. Despite an upper-middle-class upbringing and landing a six-figure job right out of college, Henry was a serial spender. Before he knew it, he had racked up $40,000 in credit card debt and was told by banks that he was unlendable. Horrified by what his family's future would look like on its current trajectory, Henry was determined to get his finances in check. He caught the real estate bug, attended meetups and networking events, befriended other investors, and found his first deal! Henry went on to build and scale a real estate portfolio of over 140 units, and in this episode, he provides actionable advice that will help you break into real estate—whether you aspire to own a single rental property or twenty. Along the way, you'll learn about “gamifying” your way to financial freedom, funding a down payment without money in the bank, and the recession-proof investing strategy Henry still uses today! In This Episode We Cover How Henry scaled his real estate portfolio to over 140 units in just seven years How “gamifying” your finances can turn you from a spender into a saver Why finding good deals is the key to a recession-proof investing strategy Getting a crash course in real estate investing through local meetups and networking Creative ways to come up with the down payment for an investment property The three phases of rental property investing that lead to generational wealth And So Much More!

Your first rental property is out there; it just may not be where you live. Austin Wolff came to this conclusion quickly. After paying his “cheap” rent of $1,600 per month for a small place in Los Angeles, he knew he needed to start saving up the money to buy his first investment property if he was ever going to afford to live in Southern California full-time. So, he began compiling a list of America's most affordable, growing real estate markets. He found what he believed to be the best bet, packed up his bags, and moved 1,500 miles away to get the deal done. He left behind his friends, girlfriend (don't worry, they're just doing long-distance now), and filmmaking passion temporarily to do what he felt was best to build wealth. What was the real estate market so good he couldn't let it pass him by? How did he get into his first property with just five percent down and only $25,000 in cash? And why does he believe NOW is the time to buy? Stick around to hear why this real estate-focused data scientist made such a radical move in the name of financial freedom and exactly how he analyzes markets and rental properties to see whether they're worth the effort.  In This Episode We Cover: Moving 1,500 miles away to “house hack” in a much cheaper market  Ranking the top affordable, growing real estate markets in the country  How to get into your first investment property for just five percent down! Conventional vs. FHA loans and what Austin thinks is the better option for rookies  Austin's deal analysis formula that will get you more accurate cash flow estimates  Serious advice for rookies and why waiting on the sidelines could cost you  And So Much More!
