Nate Armstrong grew up in a home that lived a paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle. When he decided he didn’t want that for himself or his family, he began a career in real estate investing. Part of his success is due to allowing himself to learn from both good experiences and bad. Through tumultuous times, Nate developed personal REI strategies that have proven effective for him, and that he now uses when making important decisions. One of these strategies is the BRRR (or BR³) Strategy—Buy, Rent, Rehab, Resell, which Nate has been using to immense success. Other topics discussed include the acronym SAFE, why the cost of capital is dropping and what that means for investors, and why the rental market keeps getting stronger. Learn more about Nate and how you can get involved with his company at HomeInvest.com. The Power Play: Abhi and Greg continue the conversation about the BRRR Strategy, and talk about rental-flipping—existing rentals that are immediate money-makers.

Host Todd Dexheimer rented a skid steer to move some dirt and ended up tipping in on it’s front. Hear about his story and the lessons he took from the experience. Often in business mistakes happens to us. We make a mistake or go down a path, knowing it’s not right, but we keep the pedal down. If this is happening to you, you need to stop, get out, dig and make the correction. The goal, however, is to set yourself up so that when mistakes do happen, you don’t keep pushing the pedal down, but react right away positively to make the correction. A few things we can do to help us along the way: 1. First of understand that you will make mistakes. It is going to happen, so be able to identify them quickly and make the change 2. Stay out of the ruts. If you feel yourself being pulled in, stop, reflect and take the needed steps to get out 3. Have people in your life/business that can help you. Mentor’s/coaches are a key ingredient. Business partners and key employees can also be helpful, as well as mastermind groups. Make sure you utilize people around you properly. Don’t be embarrassed by your mistakes, but instead embrace them. 4. Don’t take a bigger scoop than you and your business can handle. This happens all the time with businesses. Things go well, so they ramp up fast, not wanting to miss out on the profits. The scoops they are taking are too big, however, and they end up making mistakes and ultimately hurting the business. If you identify the issues early, then you will prosper, if not, you will tip over. This podcast made possible by our friends at HomeInvest.com.

Armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience, Mark Podolsky bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001. Today Mark is the owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company, and has been buying and selling land full time since 2001. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,000 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips, and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms. Prior to his land investing success, Mark had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency (i.e. his income stopped as soon as he stopped working). Escaping solo-economic dependency changed Mark’s life in so many positive ways that he decided to teach, coach and mentor others to help them achieve their financial goals. Even though Mark invests a lot of his time helping others, he stays actively involved in running his land investing business, and is dedicated to teaching the most current and relevant “real world” land investing methods to his students. 3 value bombs: Step back and focus on what makes you money The Entrepreneur builds something bigger than themselves Focus on the 20% that produces 80% of the results You can connect with Mark at thelandgeek.com and support@thelandgeek.com This podcast made possible by our friends at HomeInvest.com.

This hump day hustle Todd Dexheimer and John Stiles put on their gloves, throw some punches and go for the knockout. In the end there was some sweat, blood and a few black eyes, but it’s up to you - the judges - to decide who wins (www.facebook.com/PillarsofWealthCreation/). Is it Apartment investing (more passively) or buying single family to 4 unit homes? Passive Apartment investing can be lucrative. You are dealing with an asset that is scalable, has security of having a lot of tenants and is valued based on the financial performance. In this case it is also passive and you are dealing with a professional sponsor that is able to find the good off-market deals. 1-4 family homes allows you to get a fixed 30 year mortgage and maintain control over the asset. It also allows you to have flexibility of living in a unit and renting out the rest. A single family home especially allows you to rent in a soft market and easily sell in a hot market.

Prep work is extremely important when choosing a market out of state to invest in. After doing the research as described in episode 63, it is now time to hammer down the details. 1. Decide on 1 or 2 markets that have the potential that you are looking for. 2. You need to know where the market is trending, meaning the areas people are moving into and out of. 3. Know and understand the good and bad areas of the city. 4. Get to know Real Estate Brokers. 5. Get to know property managers. 6. Work on building the rest of your team. 7. Visit the city. With all of the prep work and finally visiting you likely will have to make a few adjustments to you original assumptions, but with some small tweaks, you will be ready to make offers. Be sure to follow up with those that you met while in town and be active right away with offers and feedback. You will quickly be forgotten otherwise.

We get asked a lot of questions about syndication by people that are interested in investing in syndications and by others that are interested in putting one together. Syndication can seem daunting and the thought of raising money can be intimidating. With a little bit of knowledge and a paradigm shift, doing a syndication or investing in one, can be easy and profitable. In this episode we answer a lot of common questions about syndication. How much profit should I give away? What type of structure should I use? In an equity partnership how do the splits look? How do I set a syndication up?

After completing well over 100 renovation projects ranging from $20,000 budgets to budgets near $1,000,000, I have learned a few things about estimating costs. I have learned that it is really easy to under budget. Even with the experience that I have gained, I tend to under budget vs. over-budget. Over the past several projects, I have been diligent with having enough in the contingency budget, so that we don’t get stuck in a bad spot. It is so easy to forget some of the little stuff or not think about the behind the walls items. A few mistakes here and there can lead to a disastrous result.

So how exactly do you find these magical partners? We have already hit on this when talking about syndications, but I want to go through finding partners in more detail. Any business is a relationship business. Business owners and Real Estate investors often think that they can go at it alone, but make no mistake, this is a team sport. I get it, it is easy to think that you are giving away a lot of money by bringing on partners or employees. You may think you can do it on your own and you would be right. The big issue is that you will make more mistakes, have more risk and exposure, learn and grow much slower and not have nearly as much fun. Finding any type of partner (money partners or business partners) will come through putting yourself out there and talk about what you are doing or want to do. Don’t be the shy kid in the corner that watches all the pretty girls dancing, go over there and dance! Even as an introvert, you need to put yourself out there and get out of your comfort zone.

The type of financing will depend on the type of deal, which we will briefly cover. If you are buying a stable building with 90%+ economic occupancy (paying tenants) and the amount you will finance is $1,000,000 or more, then the property may qualify for non-recourse agency debt (fannie mae or Freddie mac). If your building is in need of repair and has high vacancy, then you may need to go the local bank route or a with a bridge lender. There are 3 basic types of lenders: Local, national and conduit lenders. In this episode we cover the pro’s and cons of each and how you can qualify for a large apartment loan.

Now that you have found a deal and determined that it’s worth making an offer, we need to formulate the offer and present it. You will be either making an offer to a broker or directly to the seller. Before submitting your offer, you need to determine what your maximum offer will be – your strike price. You also need to decide the ideal price and how low you want to start. A lot of this will be determined by the market cycle and the competition involved. This podcast made possible by Trevor McGregor International.

Underwriting is all about the numbers with a dash of common sense. The property that you are looking at will have a history of what current rents and expenses are and a story. One of the most important keys to a successful apartment deal is the purchase. You need to determine if it is a deal or not. The value of the property is based on the income that can come in and that’s it. Too often do we see people chase a deal, just to buy something or because it’s in a great area and they expect it to appreciate. When we see that, we wonder when that building will be coming back on market as a distressed asset for us or you to grab at bottom dollar and at a price that will work!
