Adversity tends to breed ingenuity and genius. More often than not, smart and capable individuals will find a way to use their hardships as fuel to build something better. This is exactly what house flipping, wholesaling, and rental property-owning partners Noah Evans and Jeff Fawson did.Noah and Jeff were both following different paths to real estate success, taking on apprenticeships under investors who had already made it big. It wasn't until Jeff was doing some work on Noah's house that the two began talking, realizing they had the same type of past conflicts and saw each other's strengths as their own weaknesses.Now, they're building a systematized, scaling real estate business, operating in multiple markets, and bringing in not only flipping and wholesaling profits but generational wealth-building cash flow. Noah and Jeff discuss how they research markets for investing, systematizing fix and flips down to a point-by-point checklist, and how to make networking beneficial (instead of a drag).In This Episode We Cover:Using your past struggles to fuel your future success in real estate and lifeNetworking in a way that truly adds value to other investors' livesFinding a partner who matches your weaknesses and struggles in your strengthsHow to identify and research a new market for real estate investingThe systems and tools that Noah and Jeff use to run their scalable businessPaying attention to personal progress, instead of the dollar amount on a dealHow ripped BiggerPockets founder Josh Dorkin has becomeAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Talent SearchBiggerPockets on ItunesBiggerPockets on AudibleBiggerPockets on TwitterBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBrandon Turner's InstagramDavid Greene's InstagramOpen Door CapitalGoBundanceChasing Freedom WebsiteClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show546See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Not everyone will love commercial investing, mixed-use buildings, flipping houses, BRRRRing, or even traditional buy-and-hold rentals. But you'll probably find one type of real estate class that you absolutely love. It may take you some time, but if you're able to find a property type that sparks your creativity, all while providing positive cash flow, you'll know you made it.Katie Neason definitely didn't love government-subsidized rentals. She dreaded the phone calls, the repairs, and the unresponsive tenants. Katie thought that upgrading her investing strategy to multifamily housing would solve the problems. Unfortunately, after buying some fourplexes, she realized that too wasn't for her.After trial and error, Katie found her true real estate loves: flipping, developing, and mixed-use buildings. So, she went into all three and is doing phenomenal! Katie shares a special Deal Deep Dive where she walks through a degraded downtown building that is now the talk of the town due to her smart negotiating, creative redesigns, and ability to use her network to fund the deal!In This Episode We Cover:Why it's important to find the real estate classes you truly enjoy working onUnderstanding the positives and negatives that come with subsidized housingRevitalizing a downtown through smart planning, designing, and financing Taking action so you can achieve “hockey stick” growth in real estateWorking with the city so you can collectively build something that adds value to the communityHow to negotiate so both the buyer and seller walk away with a winAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBPCon 2021David's InstagramBiggerPockets StoreOpen Door CapitalThe Self Storage ConferenceMaui Masterclass with Brandon Turner and Tarl YarberNoah and Jeff's Episode (coming soon!)BiggerPockets Podcast 511: Getting Your Market, Money, and Mindset Right | 3 Coaching Calls!How to Invest in Real Estate—The Ultimate Show for Getting Started with Josh Dorkin, Brandon Turner, and 11 Rockstar InvestorsBiggerPockets WebinarJDC Mindset AcademyAudibleBiggerPockets Podcast 500: Robert Kiyosaki: America's ‘Rich Dad' Sees a Real Estate Crash ComingBiggerPockets Podcast 365: Ret.

I am so excited to have as my guest today Brandon Turner. Brandon is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and speaker, widely recognized as one of the foremost experts on real estate investing. He is also the popular host of the BiggerPockets podcast with over 100 million downloads, best selling author of several books, and founder and managing member of Open Door Capital. He has been featured in numerous online and print publications like Forbes.com, Entrepreneur.com, and Money Magazine. Brandon first shares his background story and how he got into real estate. After getting his college degree in history, Brandon knew that he had two options: become a history teacher or become a lawyer. He chose the latter. But pretty soon he realized that being a lawyer really stunk. He wasn't ready for 60 to 100-hour work weeks just to be able to retire rich at seventy years old. So, he decided to rebel against that by selling his house and buying a duplex just as the market crashed in 2007. That started his journey into multifamily real estate. We then move on to discussing how Brandon got involved with BiggerPockets. When he was 24 years old, Brandon bought a twenty-four unit apartment building. He spent a couple of years fixing it up and by the time he was 27, the building was done and all of the units were rented. He decided to quit his job and retire early. Soon, he started guest posting on BiggerPockets, the biggest real estate blog at the time. He became friends with Josh Dorkin, founder of BiggerPockets and (according to Brandon) he came up with the idea of starting a podcast. Brandon then explains his decision to move to Maui two years ago. He was living in western Washington at the time with 300 cloudy days a year. One day, he was at a kid's birthday party and met Jared. Jared was also a businessman who moved to Hawaii a few years prior. Brandon shares that at that moment his mindset expanded and he decided to visit Hawaii for a month. He loved it and decided to go again, this time for three months. At the end of this trip, he ended up buying a house on Maui. We then talk about Brandon's company Open Door Capital. Brandon first owned a property management company called Open Properties in Washington State. He was buying a couple of properties a year, but he realized that wasn't enough. In 2018, he decided that he wanted to go bigger. He started Open Door Capital in Hawaii with his friend Brian Murray with the goal of owning 1,000 units and 50 million dollars in real estate in the next three years. Today, they have 3400 units and 197 million dollars in real estate. Eventually, we dive into discussing Brandon's new books The Multifamily Millionaire, Volumes I and II. Brandon explains his stack method of exponential growth in real estate that is described in Financial Freedom in Five Years Through Multifamily, Volume I. He explains the difference between linear and exponential growth and how multifamily allows you to go from 1 unit to 5, to 20, to 50 and to reach financial freedom through five or six purchases in five years. He also goes on to explain a bit more about small multifamily and how to find your first deal. Brandon's advice is to define your Crystal Clear Criteria: (1) your property type (2) location (3) condition (4) price range and (5) profitability. Lastly, we talk about the biggest mistakes that people make when they go into the world of multifamily. According to Brandon, the biggest mistake that people make is that they are treating it like a hobby. Eventually, they get frustrated and they don't stick with it. But if they treat it like a business, their chances of achieving that exponential growth and financial freedom are much higher. Don't miss this incredibly fun and inspirational episode of the Just Start Real Estate Podcast, with Brandon Turner, truly an amazing guy and businessman! Notable Quotes: “I like multifamily.

How does a 27 year old become the CEO of a major online brand? Not only that, how does a 27 year old take an online brand, build upon it, and create something better? Well, if your name is Scott Trench, the answer is: a lot of hard work, some tough decisions, and looking out for the customer whenever possible.Before he was head honcho at BiggerPockets, Scott was a financial analyst in the corporate world. He wasn’t too happy, and spent all his free time finding the best (and quickest) ways to reach financial freedom so he didn’t have to go to a 9-5 for the next 40 years of his life. Without many investments or rental properties, Scott was introduced to the founder of BiggerPockets, Josh Dorkin.Josh saw something in Scott, and hired him as the third employee of BiggerPockets. Scott was given the title “Director of Operations” which really meant taking care of the finances for the business and making sure everyone had their coffee. Scott started acquiring more properties as he worked with Josh and later became such a crucial part of the BiggerPockets family, he was promoted to president. When Josh decided to step away to be with his family, Scott became CEO.In the 2 years he’s been CEO, he’s had to make some tough decisions such as changing the overall management structure of the company. This has helped BiggerPockets grow into a website and business that over 2,000,000 people use and love.

In this episode… The Real Estate Investing arena is fraught with dangers in the form of fraudulent schemes run by “experts” who line their pockets with other people’s money and give half-proven or untried systems in return. It can be a very difficult space to be in if you care about doing things ethically, honestly, and with integrity.   Joshua Dorkin felt all of that when he first began making money in real estate. His first purchase was a California condominium that gave him a pretty good return, so he began looking into what it might take to become proficient at real estate investing. What he found discouraged him and he realized, there’s no “safe” place to go for trusted advice and reliable resources.   In concept, that’s where BiggerPockets was born. When Josh first created the site he used it as a community/forum for people in the acting industry (he was an actor at the time) but quickly transitioned it into a real estate investing themed site and community. It’s now THE biggest site in the industry and is the hub for a podcast, forums, resources, a publishing house, and more.   In this conversation of Inspired Insider Dr. Jeremy Weisz asks Joshua to share his journey, from his humble beginnings as the son of an entrepreneurial single mom, to business school (which he hated), to the pursuit of an acting career in California, and finally, into the realm of real estate investing and the birth of BiggerPockets.   Joshua Dorkin is a humble guy, but confident and encouraged at the difference his efforts have made in the real estate investment space. He’s one of those guys who latches on like a pit bull once he knows what he wants to accomplish and never lets go until he’s done it. BiggerPockets is a testament to that sort of work and determination.   Be sure to listen to this inspiring interview to find out how you can get connected with Joshua and the community over at www.BiggerPockets.com.   Resources Mentioned on this episode www.BiggerPockets.com www.BiggerPockets.com/podcast Get the book Josh mentioned: www.BiggerPockets.com/UBG

It’s a great concept - when it works. But today’s guest, Joshua Dorkin tells the story of how he build an amazingly successful online business that by all rights should have been supporting his lifestyle, but instead left him no room for any kind of life at all.   The pain of overwork is well known, but it’s only when you feel it firsthand that you realize that there’s great wisdom in setting boundaries and learning to delegate.

Building a community based website can be incredibly rewarding and challenging. So in this podcast episode I interview Josh Dorkin founder of BiggerPockets.com – a real estate community website with over 110,000 members. His community also receives over 500,000 unique visitors per month. But it’s not all about big membership numbers and traffic for Josh, instead it’s about the community. In this interview Josh shares the successes and failures he’s experienced from working on BiggerPockets.com for over 8 and a half years! There are great lessons to be had here so listen in.
