Are you looking to get into investing during the Covid-19 pandemic? In this episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments, Fuquan talks to Co-Creator of Smart Asset Capital, Brock Mogensen, about navigating the real estate industry as a newer investor during the Covid-19 pandemic. From house hacking his first duplex, to co-founding a successful company, Brock has been able to attain success in a relatively short space of time. Brock started learning about the real estate industry around 3 years ago, and bought his first duplex a year later. In the 6 months that followed, he made the decision to focus on the syndication aspect of real estate, specifically underwriting. He then found 2 business partners with expertise in other aspects of real estate, and they co-founded Smart Asset Capital. Within 1 year, they've closed deals that include an 89-unit apartment building, and office space in a strip mall. Today, Brock gives back through his informative blogs and eBooks, and he runs the largest apartment investors meetup in Wisconsin. How has the Covid-19 pandemic affected Brock's business? He emphasized the importance of communication, and we hear his plan for the rest of the year. What has he put in place to protect his business from a future downturn in the market? If you're interested to get into investing, even during the Covid-19 pandemic, or you want to learn more about syndication and underwriting, this episode is for you. Highlights from the interview Within the 2 years that Brock has been involved in real estate, he has managed to co-found a company, and build up a sizeable portfolio. Surprisingly, their office building and strip mall collections are doing better than their apartment collections, contrary to national data trends. Constant communication is vital for pivoting businesses during the current situation. Focus on one aspect of the industry, and be good at that one part. “Obviously you have to understand the different components of it, but don't try to be an expert in the whole subject. There are a million different things that go into these big deals; pick one piece of the puzzle.”

Do you want to go from “having to work” to “wanting to work”? Do you want to know more about marketing strategies to generate leads and grow your business? Or are you trying to decide which vehicle in real estate will work best for you to reach your ultimate goal? In today's episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments, co-founder of Fox Cities Home Buyers, Corey Reyment, shares his experience navigating from ‘having to work' to ‘wanting to work.' From starting his real estate investing company in September of 2016, to buying his first rental property just three months later, to wholesaling up to 60 properties per year, Corey has been able to grow his business and free himself from the corporate world. Prior to entering real estate, Corey attended the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, majoring in Kinesiology. He then went on to intern as a strength and conditioning coach for the Wisconsin Badger football team, and soon realized it was no longer his ‘dream job.' After taking a sales job, Corey started racking up Sales Rep of the Year awards. However, the many years he spent working in sales still didn't realize Corey's goal of attaining financial freedom. His passion for real estate investing was ignited when he picked up the book, “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” and he then went on to found multiple real estate companies. Since 2016, Corey and his wife, Carrie, have spent their time helping people and sharing their knowledge through local seminars and education programs, all while attaining their own financial freedom. What strategies are they using to grow their business? Corey tells us why wholesaling isn't the easiest area when starting out in real estate, and how he managed to get his first wholesale property with limited capital. What are some of the challenges he faces, and what buying criteria does he use when acquiring his properties? Corey tells us about the many systems they use for operating the moving parts within the business, and we get to hear about his transition into generating passive income. Fuquan gives some important advice to those who are thinking about getting into wholesaling, and we learn what common problems pop up when building a good team in the long-term. If you're in real estate looking to earn passive income, or you're thinking about entering the real estate industry, or even if you're still trying to find the right vehicle to get you to your goal, this episode is for you. Highlights of the Interview: “Rich Dad Poor Dad” was the catalyst that drove Corey to find his passion in real estate investing. He is able to say that he “wants to work” rather than saying he “has to work.” People often worry about capital, when in fact having a good infrastructure is the most important part. “You must have a plan, a purpose, and you must have the right systems in place in order to scale to the next level.” “If you're thinking about getting your foot in it, just take that leap and get your first deal, because that's what catapults you and gives you the confidence to go out and do whatever you want to do with it.”

As the broker and president of JL Investment Group, Joe currently has a lot of things going on in his business. Successfully managing a brokerage requires work in a lot of different areas including marketing, acquisitions, finances, networking, and more. Getting help for all of this work can be difficult. Getting help for all of this work when you're ready to double or triple your business can feel overwhelming. That is why Joe and Fuquan talk about focus in this episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments. As an investor, you can be pulled in a lot of directions. Outside your business, you can feel the pull to chase new deals and strategies. Inside your business, you can feel the push to handle all of the work that needs your attention. Balancing this pull and push as an investor is crucial, especially if you want to grow your business. It took Joe Lieber a little while to understand the true impact of focus in real estate investing. Growing up watching the Carlton Sheets infomercial, he assumed that real estate was the key to wealth. He started the journey to real estate riches at 18 with his first deal and never looked back. Over his 20-year journey, Joe's been involved in almost every part of real estate. Like many investors, Joe assumed that having this experience meant he should handle as much of the business as he could. It wasn't until later, through masterminds and mentoring, did he learn that “working in your business” has limits. Instead “working on your business” is the key to successfully managing a real estate business with all of its moving parts. It's also the key to scaling your business. As a real estate investor, you might be feeling this same pressure while managing your business. You might be wondering if you can keep all of the moving parts rolling without losing your own head. You might also be wondering how to grow your business so it can produce as much income as possible in the fastest time possible. If you have those concerns, Joe and Fuquan have a conversation and insights you need to hear. Joe will break down how he's learned to focus as a real estate investor and the concerns he has about scaling his business. You'll get tips on how to successfully delegate your non-priority tasks, why you need mentoring for better leadership, and how to scale a business without adding all of the headaches through joint venture agreements. Tune in for insights, conversation, and laughs about the journey of a real estate empire builder on the path to scaling his talent and wallet without the stress in the next episode. Highlights from the Interview The TV show that inspired Joe to get into real estate at 18 Are we headed into a mid-cycle reset in the future? (Joe's predictions on the future of the rental market) Why Joe's not a big fan of multifamily or wholesaling at this point in his career The different parts of running an investment brokerage (It's more than you think!) Why Joe would have hired a coach starting from his first day as an investor Building the gold in your relationships as an investor The importance of delegation The “magician vs mule” principle while growing your business

In this episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments, we're covering deals. We will learn what it takes to be an expert deal maker, like the 900-unit owning Kyle Jones of TruePoint Capital. Kyle shares his expertise on structuring deals, building relationships, and handling challenges in the multi-family investing space. Kyle's first taste of real estate began in college, watching the original episodes of “Flip This House”; but, his journey as a real estate investor didn't start until years later, after he did a profitable flip on his own home. As Kyle details with Fuquan, he's been through his share of challenges. He's had deals fall through. He's had property with water leaks that turned into expensive budget leaks. He's had to deal with a lot of the unexpected. One of the unique solutions to a common problem many investors face is scaling up his business. It takes time to produce a good flip and that time is not spent building more profit. While Kyle could wait and slowly build an empire built on house flips, he didn't want to wait. Kyle, like many other investors, turned to multifamily. Getting into multi-family units was only part of the solution for Kyle, though. The other part of the equation was structuring the deal. When you're investing in multi-family units, relationships and systems are crucial to your continued success. You need to build and maintain relationships with brokers, syndicates, and any other members of your team. You have to structure the deal in a way that makes everyone happy. You also have to communicate well with people who are at different levels of understanding when it comes to the numbers. In short, there's a lot going on if you want to get into multi-family investing deals. There is also a lot of money to be made in multifamily and a lot of ways to make that money. Kyle broke down some creative ways behind some of his deals in the episode, including a ground lease and the way he structures deal splits. If you're a multi-family investor who is looking for more insight into challenges that go into structuring a deal or creative ways to structure new deals, this episode will provide that insight from someone who's done hundreds of deals.

In this episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments, we're covering deals. We will learn what it takes to be an expert deal maker, like the 900-unit owning Kyle Jones of TruePoint Capital. Kyle shares his expertise on structuring deals, building relationships, and handling challenges in the multi-family investing space. Kyle's first taste of real estate began in college, watching the original episodes of “Flip This House”; but, his journey as a real estate investor didn't start until years later, after he did a profitable flip on his own home. As Kyle details with Fuquan, he's been through his share of challenges. He's had deals fall through. He's had property with water leaks that turned into expensive budget leaks. He's had to deal with a lot of the unexpected. One of the unique solutions to a common problem many investors face is scaling up his business. It takes time to produce a good flip and that time is not spent building more profit. While Kyle could wait and slowly build an empire built on house flips, he didn't want to wait. Kyle, like many other investors, turned to multifamily. Getting into multi-family units was only part of the solution for Kyle, though. The other part of the equation was structuring the deal. When you're investing in multi-family units, relationships and systems are crucial to your continued success. You need to build and maintain relationships with brokers, syndicates, and any other members of your team. You have to structure the deal in a way that makes everyone happy. You also have to communicate well with people who are at different levels of understanding when it comes to the numbers. In short, there's a lot going on if you want to get into multi-family investing deals. There is also a lot of money to be made in multifamily and a lot of ways to make that money. Kyle broke down some creative ways behind some of his deals in the episode, including a ground lease and the way he structures deal splits. If you're a multi-family investor who is looking for more insight into challenges that go into structuring a deal or creative ways to structure new deals, this episode will provide that insight from someone who's done hundreds of deals. This episode is also for you if you're a single-family flipper or investor and wanted to know what life as a multi-family investor looks like.

For most of us, real estate investing requires a lot of hard work: finding deals, marketing your deals, managing cash flow, managing tenants, and more. What if there was another way? What if there was a way to passively get deals and manage properties without all of the headaches? Lane Kawaoka, an engineer turned investor, found an investing path that worked for him. Starting in college, Lane built a slow-but-steady portfolio of properties but found it hard to scale his investing to boss levels. After he made two shifts in his investing journey, his life changed completely. Lane leveled up his mastermind groups with high net worth individuals with lots of experience. Lane's unique approach to real estate investing doesn't focus on complicated deals or active management because of his goals. Lane entered the real estate market to break free of the rat race. He wanted to work when he wanted and how he wanted. This pursuit of freedom shaped how Lane worked as an investor. Lane just had one problem. It was hard to scale. As Lane describes, two big shifts helped him scale from passive investor to passive investor boss. The first was upgrading his mastermind. At first, Lane felt that investing money in a mastermind was a waste. After he started to see the impact of high-quality masterminds, he went all in. The connections and knowledge he gained from his investments in masterminds completely changed how he viewed investing and helped him capitalize on his network and reputation to build a successful real estate business managing over 2,000 units. (Of course, having an engineering degree and construction project management couldn't hurt either.) Second, he shifted to syndicates of Class B & C multifamily investments and started building stable passive real estate income. By working with smarter people and connecting with people who already had the deals, Lane found a way to profit without having to grind through finding and managing deals. This freed up his time and allowed him to focus less time on actively handling the deal. Having a specific set of reliable cash flow strategies and a mastermind are just two of the tools Lane Kawaoka used to level up his passive investing. Lane also delves into other tools, such as using turnkey properties, syndicates, and buying the real estate business (vs property). He goes into all of these resources and more in the next episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments with Fuquan. If you are a passive real estate investor who wants to level up your investing smarts the easy way, this episode will give you an insider's look at one of the smartest passive real estate investors you will ever meet. Tune in to learn how Lane got to where he is, how he stays sharp, and what he plans to do in the near future to stay competitive and profitable. Highlights from the Interview How Lane successfully scaled from 11 properties to over 2600 multi-family units What's the toughest part of real estate investing? How can a mastermind help you in real estate investing? The importance of network and reputation in getting high-level deals Why you need to balance cash flow to level up your network and your net worth Lane's investing strategy that focuses on Class B & C properties Challenges in multi-family investing How Lane evaluates deals and the syndicates who get his deals Using turnkey for short-term profitability What inspired Lane to start a podcast about passive real estate investing How to scale from investor to business owner The importance of investing in high-quality masterminds Where Lane is looking to invest next

Senior living is a topic that's been covered on the Passion for Real Estate Investments podcasts before, but we've never dived into the variety of opportunities within the senior living niche. The senior living niche has evolved from “nursing home” to communities with community chefs and places that look more like Disneyland! Many people ignore senior living communities because they still assume senior living is “nursing homes” or “facilities” instead of the amazing transformations that have happened in all areas of senior living. Investors who are considering this asset class can get involved in an active or passive level. They have a variety of options for investing in different types of properties (as well as groups of properties). They also have an opportunity to make a powerful lasting impact on a person's life. At the same time, work in senior living, like other types of real estate, has its risks and challenges. Like every type of real estate, location matters in real estate for senior living. You also have to worry about stabilizing your cash flow. As a managing director of Tuscan Gardens, Sean has firsthand knowledge of those issues. He shared with Fuquan how his business moved through and how his business managed to capitalize on these problems when other senior living communities were failing. If you are an investor who has heard about real estate in the senior living space but wanted to know more about what it takes to get involved and maintain a successful, high-quality community (and get tips on other strategies you might want to consider), this episode will have everything you need to get started. Highlights from the Interview Why real estate in the senior living niche? The demographic trends that make investing early in the senior market a good opportunity How to be an active or passive investor in the senior living space What to look for in a good senior living community Handling moves and transitions with senior residents the right way How senior living has evolved from nursing homes to beautiful communities with amenities Risks of investing in the senior living space Finding a good location for a senior living investment How companies like Tuscan Gardens balance cash flow and vacancies

You've probably heard of investors who start off with a single family unit one year and end up buying a multi-family unit the next and you're wondering one thing: How? What is the strategy that allows a real estate investor to scale up fast? Keir Weimer gives “mindset” as the answer. No matter what you're trying to achieve in real estate, you need the right mindset to help you navigate the roller coaster that is real estate. You need the right mindset to find good opportunities. You need the right mindset to build the right team, find the right mentor, and the right processes to grow your real estate investments. “Mindset” , Keir realized is the reason he was able to grow as a real estate investor so fast. When he started receiving rejection letters for graduate school, he made an important decision. Rather than remain in that failure, he created a solution. He became an entrepreneur, became an agent and then a top-selling broker. Keir knew that his goal was never to remain a broker. It was to become the owner, so he found the right mentors, put in the right systems, and scaled up. Once he reached the top, he learned another thing about “mindset”: You have to give in order to grow more. That is what Keir shares with Fuquan today. Mindset is the reason Keir was able to grow so fast as a real estate investor. Mindset is also the missing piece you need as an investor to get to that next level in real estate, whether it's a new unit or a new role. Tune in to get insight to Keir's top tips on how to earn more by growing your mindset. Highlights from the Interview Keir's journey from grad school reject to top-selling luxury real estate agent The skills Keir learned that leveled up his investing practice Why real estate offers so many money-making opportunities to learn How to scale your real estate investing skills fast Why he chose to dive in multifamily investing…after the housing recession The mindset you need to stay ahead of downturns Why mindset is crucial to every level of real estate investing Why Keir believes in giving back to grow even more
If you're looking for a real estate investing strategy that doesn't require dealing with tenants, tools, rent payments while collecting checks, Mark Podolsky may be the mentor you're looking for. On the Passion for Real Estate Investments podcast, we've talked to asset managers, fund managers, and more….but we haven't talked to a person who bought and flipped real land and turned it into cash. Mark was so tired of the 45 minute Monday morning commute that he started dreaded Fridays. He was looking for a way to make money where he could control where and how he worked. He found that way when he was introduced to buying and flipping raw deals for pennies on the dollar. This strategy is what Mark introduces us to in this episode. Mark breaks down his first attempt at buying land with just $3,000 and how he flipped that using tax liens to start getting cash flow. He also walks Fuquan through an investing scenario so you can get an idea of how he is able to turn parcels of land into cash without waiting for rent payments, dropping a lot of money, or building a wall or fixing a leaky toilet. The system Mark created from his real estate investing strategy allows him to earn cash for less than 2 hours of work. Tune in to learn how to get started! Highlights from the Interview Why real estate investing gives you more time for less money How Mark got started in real estate investing with just $3,000 How he flipped his first tax deeds and got a MASSIVE return How he survived the economic downturn in 2008 Breakdown of Mark's tax lien investing strategy How he survived the economic downturn of 2008 The 2 major ways people can lose money using Mark's land investing strategy (and why it's so hard to even lose money) A look at Mark's automated business strategy that allows him to make money while only working about 2 hours a week!
We've already covered real estate fund management @passion4rei series, but we haven't dived into how to transition into the fund management side of real estate investing. That's why our host, @fuquanbilal, sits down to chat with Greg Hughes, a fellow mastermind buddy and co-manager of four alternative investment funds. Greg began his career in real estate investing while house hacking at 19 and continued to grow as an investor and strategist reaching the point where he is today. Currently, he co-manages four alternative investment funds and has raised over $95 million in funds and gets cash flow from hundreds of houses in multiple states. Greg shares how he transitioned from a 15-year old with his own lawn care company to a real estate investor and strategist with an (almost) recession-proof diverse portfolio. He covers what he learned during the last housing crisis and how he and evolved to keep his cash flowing. Greg also gives insights into what he's doing now to keep his business growing and scaling into the future. One big topic of the conversation was the 1031 exchange, a tax-saving investment strategy that you might not be aware of. Greg explains how a 1031 exchange works, how it benefits both the investor/owner and the person on the lease, and how to leverage it in different ways. On top of all that, Greg and Fuquan have a real interesting conversation about growth, scaling, and adapting as an investor. It's one thing to start an investment strategy in real estate. It's an entirely different thing to adapt that strategy in a changing world. Greg covers how he adapted his investing strategies before and during the recession and how he's preparing now for the future. He also shares how he is scaling his business even more and gives insight into the challenges in that scaling process. Highlights from the Interview How Greg transitioned from a 19-year old business owner/real estate investor to co-manager of four fund management companies Why Greg chose real estate & alternative investments instead of the stock market Challenges of moving from property owner to fund manager How did your investing strategy survive the recession? How do I adapt my strategy for a new market? Planning a cash flow strategy to protect your assets Biggest challenges as a fund manager Dealing with outside property managers vs your own 1031 exchange – How does it work? What he's looking forward to in 2020 Why investing in your education as an investor is critical to your success
