Challenge and adversity can come up when we least expect it. One way we can prepare is by changing our mindset and how we react to it. So, how do we overcome challenges and find the positives? Tune into this episode of Constant Smiles, where Dr. Rich Constantine and Elijah Desmond speak with Devin Jordan about his impressive career and dedication to helping others. Devin Jordan is an assistant football coach at the University of Akron, the founder of Beyond The Game non-profit organization and one of the exclusive motivational speakers for The Ohio State University Alumni association. He has a passion of enriching the lives of young people and giving back to the community. As a former student athlete and current college football coach for the University of Akron, and with over 10 years of college football coaching experience, he understands that a kid’s first experience with sports is vital to whether they continue on with them. Devin states that “it’s imperative to teach our youth that there is MORE to gain from sports than just playing the game. This is the purpose of Beyond The Game.” Devin was a highly recruited football prospect coming out of Massillon Washington high school and was blessed to receive a full ride scholarship to play at THE Ohio State University. He had dreams and the talent to make it to the NFL. One day, however, that dream was cut short due to injury. Because Devin had a strong foundation of academics, he was still able to finish his college career with a degree in Human Ecology. After college, Devin worked for big-name companies, such as Nationwide Insurance and Chase Bank, before eventually getting the opportunity to pursue his passion: coaching college football and working with the youth! Listen to how Devin built his inspiring non-profit, and how he overcomes challenges and channels them into helping others. In this episode, we find out: How Devin got into college football coaching His approach to pushing through and not giving up Devin’s thoughts on coaches and mentors How he started his non-profit and overcame all the challenges that came with it Resources and inspiring mentors that Devin uses to stay positive Devin’s tips for maintaining positive habits every day Devin shares who he thinks would make a great guest for the next Constant Smiles podcast Mentions & Links: https://www.gobeyondthegame.org/ (Go Beyond the Game website)

Developing a successful multifamily investing company starts with education and surrounding yourself with the right people. Buying and managing apartments is at the core of any integrated multifamily business, from there it can be expanded into complementary endeavors. Devin Elder understands this as much as anyone. Devin was a guest back on Episode 60, where he shared insights and key metrics for investing in the San Antonio market. Devin is the managing partner of DJE Texas Management Group.    Since we last spoke to Devin, he has elevated his portfolio, developed his own in-house management company, created his own podcast, and launched an apartment investing coaching business. His decision-making process to add these endeavors centered around solving pain points. The property management company was a desire to be more profitable and retain more control over his properties. The podcast allows him to connect with and learn from other investors and expand his perspective. The coaching program allows him to help individuals in a structured method beyond a coffee chat.     With all of these initiatives, Devin has created an integrated apartment investing company with complementary divisions. These business arms allow him to help more people, continue growing his business and still explore new opportunities. During our chat, Devin goes into more detail on building a complementary business, an update on the San Antonio market, and why he started investing in raw land - and buying pet zebras.    Partner: 1 Question Marketing Survey for New Event   Key Takeaways   From corporate America burnout to SFR to flipping and finally to multifamily investing San Antonio Texas Market: The 7th largest metro in the country.  Vertically integrated: Private equity company running the investments as well as the operations company running the day-to-day operations The pros and cons of working with third-party property management companies   I make decisions based on a pain point that needs to be solved   The key questions to ask before starting and running a property management company (it’s about time and money) How Devin and team grew their business quickly  The unexpected benefits of producing a podcast    Doing a podcast, you get to learn so much through awesome conversations, with different viewpoints, with successful people around the world.    What to evaluate if you’re thinking of starting a podcast Apartment Educators: How to set up a system to effortlessly run a coaching business to help others as an additional source of revenue  The different levels of fulfillment one receives from guiding and educating others as a coach and/or mentor How to vet a coaching student, enabling a win-win situation    If you have a student who is intelligent and motivated, but all they are missing is some guidance, it’s a lot of fun and super rewarding to work with those people and see them move their career forward    How to weed out those coaching students that will not benefit from your services The multifamily opportunities in the San Antonio, Texas market and how to take advantage of them   Partner: Download our Sample Deal Package Bullseye Tips:   Apparent Failure: Invested $100K hard earnest money on a deal that he had to walk away from because of COVID, but that set him up to be ruthless about their expenses   Digital Resource: Slack (chat messaging)   Most Recommended Book: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor (Gary Keller)   Daily Habit: I write my thoughts down every day to clear my mind for the day.    Wish I Knew When I Was Starting Out: It’s all going to be alright   Current Curiosity: Rural land business    Contact Devin: DJE Texas Management Group  The DJE Podcast Apartment Education Coaching

The amount of electricity that we talk about; the watts, the power, you probably haven’t heard of anything quite like this, if you’re just riding around on the normal electric bikes that most of us are used to. There are a few people out there that are really pushing the limits and if you’ve done the research, you may be aware of these. When I talk about an ebike having 1000 watts, that’s nothing compared to what you’re about to hear. This week’s guest, Devin Lindstrom, DDS is here to share more about his love for electric vehicles and how he has pushed the limit of what others think is possible.

So you want to get into multi-family investing, but you don't have the money or the track record. Maybe you think that baby steps is the way to go, learning the game through single-family rentals or managing a small complex on your own. But if you have the right team, you don't need to have $5M in the bank or 15 years of property management experience. You can serve as the quarterback and focus your energy on putting together deals, while your mortgage broker, property management company, and general contractor execute the playbook. Devin Elder was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. After graduating from UT-San Antonio with a degree in business, he went the corporate route, working in sales and operations for several area companies. But with each promotion, Devin lost a little more time and a little more autonomy. Then he got fired. In that moment, Devin vowed to find an alternative. At about the same time, Devin bought, renovated and refinanced his first single-family rental. Initially skeptical of real estate as a viable investment, he soon realized that the cashflow from rental properties could be his way out. Two years and 20 doors later, Devin quit his last corporate job and became a full-time investor. Since then, he has shifted his focus to multi-family, working his way from a six-unit that he managed himself to a 75-unit to a 192-unit. Today Devin shares how a desire to scale his real estate business inspired the shift from single- to multi-family and why he takes pride in having a positive impact on the community. He explains the initial lack of confidence that held him back from pursuing multi-family and how he overcame that with the right peer group and a ‘someday is now' philosophy. Listen in to understand why Devin would pursue entrepreneurship sooner if he could do it all over again, and hear his advice around ‘borrowing credibility' to jump-start your multi-family business!
