Join Renters Warehouse’s CEO Kevin Ortner –and Chief Strategy Officer Greg Rand as they discuss the long-term benefits of a solid SFR investment strategy –along with tips for getting the most out of your investments, and advice on spotting, and securing the best opportunities.For most of us, it’s difficult to know where to invest. There’s uncertainty everywhere you turn, from the stock market –to the fix-and-flip strategies that are all over TV. With the 07/08 recession still looming in the back of everyone’s minds, most of us are cautious when it comes to investing. The concerns are real –what if another recession is looming on the horizon? What if stock prices are overvalued? What if the housing market experiences a downturn right after you buy a fixer-upper? In today’s episode, Renters Warehouse’s Chief Strategy Officer Greg Rand and Kevin Ortner share how investing in single family residences (SFR) as rentals –as a long-term buy-and-hold strategy can help you to future-proof your investments.
Greg Rand, Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi to give his insight on some listener questions. First, Greg sheds light on an “interesting” thing he saw while he was in Charlotte, but is definitely happening around the country. Lots of gimmicks and “get-rich-quick” schemes from people claiming to have all the answers to make fast cash in real estate investing. The guys jump right into listener questions and start off with a question from Samuel from Southern California. He wants to get out of his market because it is too expensive Greg gives him some great ideas on how he can invest out-of-state. Another listener, Charlotte from Oklahoma City, wants to hear all about the acquisition of Greg and Abhi’s first five rental properties. Dwayne from Nashville wants to know if it’s possible to get into real estate investing debt-free and he wants to know more about “sweat equity.” Greg and Abhi give their opinions and explain a little more about sweat equity. They tell Dwayne to do the research on markets he is interested in and do the due diligence, and that’s the most important part! Our final listener is Christine from St. Louis and while she is shy and introverted, she wants to know more about networking with her shy personality. Think you know how Greg and Abhi will answer these questions? Think again. Tune in now to find out! Visit ThinkRealty.com to listen to all of our episodes!
Greg Rand, Chief Strategy Officer at Renters Warehouse shares how you can profitably invest in single family homes, and reveals the many benefits of single family investing over multifamily. This show starts off with Greg sharing how the US housing market has evolved over the years. Greg cites various statistics to reveal the immense potential […]
Greg Rand, Renters Warehouse, is back for another round of the Power Play. He and Abhi kick-off the show with Greg sharing his passion for giving excellent customer service when working with tenants. He compares a tenant/landlord relationship to a restaurant/customer experience — a tenant won’t sign a lease again if they don’t have a pleasant experience with a landlord just like a customer wouldn’t return to a restaurant if they were treated poorly. The guys start answering listener questions and the first question comes from Adrienne from South Carolina and she has a tenant who has been smoking marijuana in her property and it is a very strong smell. It is not legal in her state, and she is aware it’s very common and wants to know what she can do to warn her tenant without getting him in trouble. What would you do if you were faced with this situation? What about other illegal activities? Another listener, Chante from Houston, is in college and getting her minor in real estate. She knows of an 8-unit apartment complex nearby that’s going to be selling soon and is wondering if she should just go and purchase it! Greg and Abhi give a few pieces of insight for her to consider and give her some tangible advice, like running it by her professors. Another listener has a large amount saved in her 401k and she doesn’t have much of a cash-flow because she saves so much. The guys want you to know you can invest your 401k in real estate through a self-directed IRA. If this is something you’ve thought about then this is the episode for you!

Greg Rand, with Renters Warehouse, is back on air with Abhi and they jump straight into listener questions! The first question is extremely important and to the market in early 2019. There has been a lot of speculation that there is going to be another recession soon because home prices are not rising like they were a year ago. Jeff from Arizona wants to know if he should sell or lease his undeveloped piece of property — his fear of a recession is making him hesitant of investing more into the property and losing equity. Our second question comes from Dwayne from Alabama. He is looking for advice on multi-family rentals. He wants to invest but can’t seem to meet the requirement of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and is curious about private lenders and passive investors and wants any advice and insight he can get! The final questions are great! Shay from Texas is looking to snag a deal after six months of looking and researching and she can’t find anything in her budget/interests. Jacqueline from Colorado is interested in selling her vacation home in the mountains, but feels conflicted and now she is wondering if she would be better off renting it out!

Greg Rand, with Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi and they have lots to discuss! They kick-off the show talking about the Houston market. There have been so many interesting headlines recently about Houston and how the market hasn’t been so great and things are declining.

The guys jump into listener questions and the first question just so happens to come from Marcelino in Houston! He wants to know how he should go about scheduling booking for his Airbnb when he would like to sell the property. Should he sell it as an on-going Airbnb? Or offer to manage the booking for the new owner? Greg has a lot to say on this topic and it’s all about optimizing your ROI!

Greg Rand, Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi. They kick-off the show discussing real estate in the news. A recent headline read that you shouldn’t invest in real estate, you should invest in real estate investment trusts. Some of the remarks came across as “interesting” for Abhi and they break down this article for you. Next, the guys spend time answering listeners’ questions. Our first question is from Joel from Raleigh. He owns five single-family rentals and wants to know how he can continue to build his portfolio and eventually reach 40 single-family rentals over the next 30 years. Greg and Abhi offer insight and strategy for Joel and answer why this can be a good route instead of choosing multi-family rentals. Our second listener question comes from Carl from Tulsa. There is lots of chatter about “knowing your market,” and he wants to know what exactly this means. Abhi and Greg break it down for Carl so that he understands just how he can “know” his market and the practical steps he can take to get started or continue moving forward with his real estate investment business. If you think you are “too old” and waited too long to get in the real estate investment game, Greg has quite the response for you!

Greg Rand, Renters Warehouse, is back on air with another round of the Power Play. "On this show, we are responding to some of the many questions we've been receiving from listeners." Our first listener is from Seattle and wants to know if people are really spending over $400k for less than 10% ROI. With Seattle being such a hot spot to invest, it is pricier, but Greg and Abhi recommend investing outside of that market and going to a smaller market. The next listener is a traveling nurse who has saved a good amount of money and plans to invest in the next few years since he has few expenses with his job. He wants to know about investing in different markets and how he can go about purchasing a property in the different cities he visits. He is looking for resources and more information, and Greg and Abhi definitely have more information for him! Greg and Abhi shift gears to touch on Birmingham, AL and why it’s a great place to invest. Greg is on location in Birmingham and fills us in on what to look at as he breaks down the market for listeners. Tune in to hear all about what these two have to say about real estate investing! Visit ThinkRealty.com today to check out all of our radio shows.
Greg Rand, Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi and they have plenty to share with you on this episode! Greg wants to share with you a “lift” city just west of Charlotte called Gastonia and also a city on the way to Gastonia is Belmont. Greg found two great properties for sale and he was under contract and backed out, and he wants to share his reason why. It is a decision that could help you in the future! Greg wants to share something “funny” he read this morning. He says the bad information out there is quite comical but he wants to keep you informed. He read, “Feds could double interest rates.” The headline was misleading because what they meant to say was, the feds could raise the rates two times. One of our listener’s, Cameron from Pennsylvania, has a question for Greg. He wants to know if he invested in a mentor or “guru” when he was first starting out. He and Abhi joke about how there are so many, “get rich by giving us all your money” schemes. Greg says that finding a mentor is something so different and you should find someone you trust and aspire to be in 10 years. Greg and Abhi wrap-up the show with two more listener questions. Chad from Texas wants to know how REI fits into the Dave Ramsey philosophy of “cash only” investing. Our final question has to do with negotiations and how to become an effective negotiator. Tune in to all of our episodes of Think Realty Radio at ThinkRealty.com.
Greg Rand, with Renters Warehouse, kicks off the show discussing lift cities, and his favorite, Charlotte! He talks about how he spends his time with the location rather than what he is purchasing. He has plenty of reasons for why he chose Charlotte, including the new Amazon headquarters. They discuss Spartanburg, SC and why it’s a great town! BMW is located there and Greg says he doesn’t like to invest in cities with only one major company that is in the town, but he thinks Spartanburg is great. Greg lives near the headquarters of Lowe’s Home Improvement and he explains how it creates a gravitational pull in the market. Greg and Abhi are getting into the federal rates rising. Greg gives his insight on the matter and says usually it has no effect on the housing market because most people occupying homes aren’t looking at it because of the federal rates, but because they got married or moved or just want to buy a home. He says there is a lot of “noise” going on right now and it hasn’t stopped him from buying. They wrap-up the show discussing Think Realty Dallas Conference & Expo and why events like these are so helpful and important for networking and real estate education in general. We hope to see you there! Visit ThinkRealty.com today and get your tickets to the event THIS WEEKEND!

He has been a real estate investor for over seven years and is contemplating partnering up with someone. He wants to know if this is a beneficial experience and Greg and Abhi have their opinion for him and anyone that is contemplating partnering up with someone. The second question comes from Clint who lives in a college town in Bloomington, Ind. He wants to know if it’s a good idea to invest in college town rentals. There are plenty of pros and cons to renting to students, and you probably already know how Greg and Abhi will react, but be sure to hear all about the logic behind their answers. There are lots of factors to take into consideration! Our final question comes from Russell who lives in California. He wants to start investing but realizes that in the city where he resides, it is unlikely to invest because of the extremely high property prices. He wants to know how he can start looking at other markets and wants to know if it is practical to do long-distance investing. Greg advises that he finds someone to be a point person for whatever market he decides to invest.

Greg says rates going up can only be used to your advantage, and he and Abhi agree there is only one time that you should not invest in real estate. Can you guess what that one time is?

Greg advises you save as fast as you can so you can build toward a large down payment. Both Greg and Abhi agree that the way to build wealth is to buy and hold. The final question comes from David from Ohio. He has done all of his research and is ready to pull the trigger, but he is hesitant because he has noticed the population has declined over the years.

Greg Rand, Chief Strategy Officer of Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi and they get straight to business. Abhi and Greg are kicking things off with a listener favorite — smart people saying dumb things about real estate.

Greg warns listeners they should not lack in confidence when it comes to making moves to invest in the housing market. They also get into the concept of “second cities.” Greg uses Nashville as an example and encourages listeners to look into the “next Nashville” if they are wanting to invest in a similar city. Tune-in to hear which city he recommends.

Listener Question Greg and Abhi start off this episode of Think Realty Radio by answering a question sent in by Carrie from Indianapolis. It’s an in-depth question regarding her method of real estate investing, which is to buy a fixer-upper, live in it, fix it up, then rent it out and move onto another property to do the same thing. The problem she’s run into is that she’s having a hard time finding good tenants for her properties. Greg and Abhi dissect her plan and show her where some holes may be and how to plug them to make her method more sound. Solutions offered by the two include heightening her marketing plan to find better tenants, paying specific attention to the neighborhoods in which she’s buying, and finding a property manager to take care of filling the property so she doesn’t have to.

Good friend of the show and CEO of Renters Warehouse Kevin Ortner returns for his regular spot on Think Realty Radio. Renters Warehouse has grown from a local, small Mom ‘n Pop property manager in Minneapolis to become America’s largest third-party property manager of single-family homes. The Total Solution Renters Warehouse has just announced that they’ve merged with Greg Rand’s Own America, and Abhi and Kevin talk about the behind-the-scenes aspects of that decision. Among the most important aspects of the merger is the ability to make it easier for REIs to buy and conduct business on a platform which — until now — wasn’t available to investors. The good thing about this merger for the investor, especially those who are just getting involved in the industry, is that with Renters Warehouse and OwnAmerica teamed up, they’ll be able to provide educational resources, analytical tools, and properties to shop around for, all online. The two also talk about successful investment strategies and their views on the housing market today.

Weekly guest on the show Greg Rand is back this Tuesday for another hard-hitting episode of The Power Play. Greg is the CEO of OwnAmerica and lives, eats, and breathes real estate investing. Correct: It’s Just a Correction In this episode, Greg and Abhi begin by discussing a clip of Greg on Fox News in which he talks about the current shift in the housing market. He reiterates that the market is experiencing a correction — not another crash as many media channels may have you believe. House prices have gone too high, and buyers have reached the point where they won’t pay past a certain point. So of course, at some point, buyers simply have to wait until prices become affordable again. It’s helpful to look at the market as a simple negotiation at scale, as Greg puts it. How do you deal with this? Develop a strategy, which the dynamic duo talk about in the show’s second segment. Greg details all this in easily digestible terms for Think Realty Radio listeners. Learn more from Greg at OwnAmerica.com, or check out his book Crash Boom!: Make a Fortune in Today's Volatile Real Estate Market.
Greg Rand, CEO of OwnAmerica, is on the show and opens it with discussing the recent news of Renters Warehouse acquiring OwnAmerica, which now makes Renters Warehouse America’s largest full-service real estate investment company.

While Greg has never been interested in flipping, he says flipping should be used as a tactical approach to create equity along the way. He gives a few pointers for how it can benefit you so that you are being smart (and ethical) each step of the way. Another listener wants to know how the BRRRR (Buy, Renovate, Rent-Out, Refinance and Repeat) strategy helps you pull money out when you are refinancing. Greg simplifies it for listeners so that you can start building that portfolio! Be sure to read the full article on OwnAmerica and Renters Warehouse at ThinkRealty.com.

Today’s episode revolves around smart people saying dumb things. This includes many media outlets and websites purveying sensational—but misleading—information. But here’s the thing: a lot of the time, the truth is bent negatively in order to attract higher readership. So what do you, the investor, do? You probably already know the answer—it’s to stay educated! According to Greg, to be successful, you have to "Learn it for yourself." In the second half of the episode, Greg and Abhi address three questions from listeners like you.
