The realms of real estate can be appealing especially in the aspect of monetary gain. In reality, there is more to it than that - it is not simply about acquiring low and selling at a high price. To experience more rewards, we must be willing to do the hard work and give value to our product. In this talk, Josh Cantwell stresses the importance of not relying on the “MVP”, recognizing that money is king, and breaking down the dangers of merely getting a deal done. And all the while acknowledging the goal of the hustle - financial freedom - and ultimately, satisfaction in life.[00:01 - 03:52] Opening Segment I welcome today's guest, Josh CantwellHow he got into real estate[03:53 - 14:51] Realities of Attaining Financial FreedomThe meaning of financial freedom and its challenges for entrepreneursJosh talks about his deals and the threat of COVID-19The considerations in building a solid business model[14:52 - 28:48] Dangers of Rushing the DealThe real MVP in real estate investingWhat tenants truly care aboutWhy being on time yet going over budget is better [28:49 - 34:45] Closing SegmentThe truth about business - money is kingFinal wordsTweetable Quotes:“And the big challenge for every entrepreneur in today's market is to sit and think about what they're really trying to do, and realize that yesterday is gone. .” - Josh Cantwell“ You do the hard work. That's where the MVPs are at… Why is somebody gonna pay you more rent, if you're not giving them a better product? Simple as that.” - Josh Cantwell“I was passionate about what I was doing. I was loving it. So if I literally had my number calling, I was off the face of the earth that year, I would have been okay with that. Because I was doing what I love. I was having fun with it.”  - Josh CantwellLearn more about Myers Methods of Multifamily Investing: http://bit.ly/37u6oK3Register for Myers Methods Multifamily Investing Course: https://bit.ly/37iozkBLearn more about the Mid-Atlantic Multifamily Conference: https://bit.ly/2V7SlCC Support the show (https://www.facebook.com/groups/157335752156211/)

Real estate investors are very busy people, and often, rookie investors become busier than ever as they’re learning the tricks of the trade. Kevin Christensen is no different, he works a full-time job, runs a retail store with 5 locations, and self-manages his long and short-term properties, all while doing some handyman work himself!As a United States Marine, Kevin was used to the “improvise, adapt, and overcome” mentality, which has served him well in his investing career. Kevin only started actively investing in real estate around 2 years ago, but has so far done 18 deals, won a lawsuit, and hired two full-time contractors for his properties. He runs a very tight ship, and doesn’t let much slip through the cracks.Kevin’s secret to success is centered around just being himself: work hard, be kind to others, and focus on customer service. As you’ll hear in the episode, Kevin was able to get a $350,000 house reduced to $190,000 simply by listening to the seller’s needs and being courteous throughout the transaction, something that the other wholesalers in his area failed to do.If you’re interested in subject-to properties, it will serve well to heed Kevin’s advice. He was sued in the middle of a subject-to deal while renting out a house as a short-term rental. Kevin walks through exactly why the sellers were suing, how he protected himself, and how he pulled in $14,000 of revenue in only around 2 months!You’ll probably hear Kevin on the BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast soon, because even though he’s a rookie in years, he’s a pro in experience!In This Episode We Cover:How to be a better wholesaler and listen to what sellers needGetting your spouse on board for real estate investingWhat a subject-to property is and how to facilitate a subject-to transactionThe best property management software (that’s also free!)The importance of having a W2 income if you’re going to BRRRR, flip, or buy long-term rentalsWhy short-term rentals can be serious cash-flowing investmentsWhen to BRRRR and when to flip (depending on your goals and finances)And SO much more!Links from the ShowReal Estate Rookie Facebook GroupBiggerPockets PodcastAshley's InstagramTony's InstagramRookie Podcast 32: Debt Free with 2 Rentals and Counting with 24-Year-Old ICU Nurse Prescott WilliamsCozySmartbnbPriceLabsCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/rookie51

Most rookie real estate investors want to hit a home run on their first deal, Annie and Trey Johnson did it completely on accident. Neither of them were interested in being landlords or real estate investors, but after they made six figures profits on their first home, they realized there was real money in the real estate game.Annie and Trey were looking for a home to raise their family in. They found the perfect plot of land which had a new manufactured home and a scenic view. After living in the home for a few years they decided to move elsewhere to be closer to family, and instead of selling it, they decided to rent it out for a year.Now they were landlords by accident, and as the money started to flow in every month they questioned “is this something people are normally doing to make money?”. Fast forward a year, they subdivided the land, sold the home, and walked away with profits exceeding $200,000. Not bad for a couple of rookies!Annie and Trey now invest out of state, building up their real estate portfolio by rehabbing inexpensive homes. They’re so into real estate, that Annie even hosted her own socially-distant meetup during 2020!This investor couple walks through their keys to success, the players on their team that make the biggest difference, and how they went from just homeowners to real estate investors!In This Episode We Cover:How to use your primary home to make more moneyThe ability to cash flow using ADUs and mother-in-law suitesHow to parcel out lots of land to sell them separately (and make more money!)Why writing a “love letter” may be a good move when submitting home offersHow a good or bad property manager can make or break your long-distance investingWhat to do when there are no meetups in your area (or COVID has limited them)The best advice for new rookies who are looking to find their first dealHow to find funding for your BRRRRAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowReal Estate Rookie Facebook GroupBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MeetupsRookie Podcast 43: Defeating 5 Years of Analysis Paralysis to Do 4 Deals in 2020 with Jacqueline SmithCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/rookie46

Flipping with no money down... in Hawaii?

Kristi Tanner Smith considers herself privileged—she was an only child in a big house with lots of toys. But Kristi’s mom was diagnosed with a fatal disease and given six months to live when Kristi was five. While her mom did beat that estimate, she ultimately lost her battle when Kristi was 12.During her mom's final years, she tried to teach Kristi about money: "Save up and pay cash for purchases. Be responsible with your finances."Her father was the opposite. So Kristi was able to see both sides of the coin and recognize that being responsible was the better way to go.Kristi lost her father to a freak accident in 10th grade, and she used the insurance settlement to pay for college, where she studied Criminal Justice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of6dysqMJ04 In a sea of investment choices, it can be overwhelming to determine which are the best investments for you. But don't let overwhelm keep you in the dark, procrastinating, making mediocre decisions, losing money, and perpetually frustrated. The first step to confident investing is having a clear picture of exactly what you want and WHY.  Knowing what you want allows you to set goals that will advance you towards your destination and measure your progress.  Secondly, prepare.  Next, you need to be armed with the tools to identify opportunities that match.  Finally, you implement, measure progress, and repeat.

Investing is part of stage 3.  Building a cash-flowing asset portfolio of real estate and business accelerates time and money freedom. In the last article, Saving vs. Investing: What is Investing? Part 1 – Cash Flow, we've illustrated the power of cash flow in creating financial freedom. Before that, we discussed the preparation of habitual saving that allows you to build usable capital. Today, we'll help you select your opportunities by answering: How do I determine the best investments for me?How do I minimize risk? We'll help you determine investment options for you by showing you that the answer lies in the most unexpected place. And then we'll give you the #1 secret to lowering your investment risk. How Do I Determine the Best Investments for Me? Now that you have a vision for what you want your investments to do, let's go shopping.  How do you figure out what the best investment options are? Asset Categories Instead of narrowing down your choices, we first need to expand the options.  Unfortunately, what you're typically offered is like seeing the appetizer menu only, when there's a full range of salad, soup, entrée, dessert, and cocktail menus to choose from. While you may have been led to believe that your options are all housed in the stock market, the world of investing is much broader. There are four main asset categories to choose from: Paper AssetsCommoditiesReal EstateBusiness Paper Assets Paper assets include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, savings accounts, and the forex market. Within this category are equities (stocks), fixed income assets (bonds), and cash equivalents that include money market accounts. Often, paper assets are wrapped into a basket of mutual funds with various risk levels. There are many ways to invest in the stock market, including using a broker or through an individual brokerage account.  Strategies range from buy-and-hold, to options trading with puts and calls. Commodities Commodities are real, hard assets like gold,
