On this episode of the Business and BBQ podcast, Tim is joined by Kevin Ortner, CEO of Renter’s Warehouse, the nation’s largest property management company. Renter’s Warehouse is unique in that they provide their clients and potential clients with a vast network of educational resources and individualized support as they consider getting into real estate through rental properties. Kevin purchased his first rental property as a freshman in college, where he essentially got to live rent-free in one side of a duplex by renting out the other side. He caught the bug at that point, seeing the potential in rental investing, and he has been encouraging others to do the same ever since. It is interesting to note that most rental real estate investors own 1-5 properties and are able to make considerable enough profits long-term to make it all worth it. What makes their investment even better is not having to mess with property management.By working with Renter’s Warehouse, investors get all of the benefits of owning rental properties without any of the drawbacks such as maintenance issues, tenant problems, and rent collection. Many people are hesitant to get into rental investing because of their perceptions that they need to put up a lot of money out of pocket or have had previous real estate investing experience, but investing in rental properties and partnering with a property management company like Renter’s Warehouse is simple enough for the average American to be profitable doing it. A property management company even takes the guess work out of choosing the right tenants who will not destroy your home.Kevin goes on to talk about the leadership philosophies and culture that he tries to create at Renter’s Warehouse. Primarily, he tries to surround himself with good people who are emotionally intelligent and skilled and then make everyone feel like they can be transparent, authentic, and willing to learn from mistakes.His new podcast, Rent Estate, is geared specifically towards rental real estate investing, and future episodes will feature interviews with Renter’s Warehouse employees from different areas of business who will provide their own perspectives on the benefits of this type of investment. This educational platform is intended to be another way to provide value in the form of free education to people who are involved in real estate investing or those who are considering buying rental properties for this purpose.Links:Audible trial promotional link: http://www.audibletrial.com/thHubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th Connect with Kevin:kevin@renterswarehouse.com 952-224-9597https://RentersWarehouse.com Rent Estate Revolution: https://amzn.to/3282sK6https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rent-estate-podcast/id1467392453 Connect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriage https://www.facebook.com/timherriage/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/timherriage/?source_id=734272966682056https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/

Listeners are in for a treat on this episode of the Business and Barbecue podcast as Tim talks with his friend Michael Plaks, the “black belt” in real estate taxation. Michael is an accountant who has been working exclusively with real estate investors for 20+ years, so he has seen it all and can talk with investors in their own vernacular. Michael and his team offer their clients an annual advisory program which includes annual tax preparation, bookkeeping, quarterly advisory meetings, and strategies in addition to assistance in fighting Uncle Sam if the need arises.Over the years, Michael has developed several prevailing opinions in the real estate investing realm:1. People confuse income and wealth. An investor owns property long-term, while everyone else involved in real estate is simply working a job. The key question to ask to find out which boat you are in is: “What happens if I stop what I am doing in 3 months?” If your income stream will continue, you are investor gaining wealth. If your income stream would cease, you have a job.2. People shouldn’t buy real estate for the tax benefits. You should be primarily concerned with cash flow and appreciation, followed by tax benefits, not the other way around. There are really only 3 ways to reap tax benefits from real estate, but even those are not guaranteed. Your ultimate strategy should be to purchase a property, do a 1031 exchange for a bigger property, and so on and so forth until you have drastically increased your wealth.3. People should focus first on starting something, and then how to structure it. Michael says that the best idea is to consult with an attorney about what you should do, but from the tax perspective it is best to start earning money before worrying about the structure. He provides listeners with his 3-step process for getting started:a. Set up a separate personal checking account for your business and use it for all business transactionsb. Stop using cash – pay electronically or with a checkc. Use apps to track your expenses and mileageMichael and Tim talk through when it is best for a sole proprietor to make his business official and conclude by talking about accurate bookkeeping leading to having a better handle on your business’ financial position.Links:Audible trial promotional link: https://audibletrial.com/th HubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th Connect with Michael: http://reitaxfirm.com/(713) 721-3321Connect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriage https://www.facebook.com/timherriage/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/timherriage/?source_id=734272966682056https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/https://www.youtube.com/c/TimHerriageWith business questions: ask@timherriage.comWith BBQ questions: bbq@timherriage.com

Welcome back to another episode of the Business and BBQ Podcast with Tim Herriage. On this episode, Tim interviews his friend Jeff Tennyson about entrepreneurship, work-life balance, organizational culture, and intentional leadership.Jeff has held basically every position in the book at organizations big and small, and the thing he has found that makes or breaks a company is its culture. Having a good culture where employees are respected, and the focus is on profit, growth, and fun is more impactful on the bottom line of the company than strategy every single time. Because of his diverse work experiences, Jeff has been able to observe great cultures as well as toxic ones, and he makes it his mission now, as the CEO of Lima One Capital to always foster an intentional and healthy culture. If you were to show up at their Greenville, SC, you might walk right into Bagel Mondays or Beer Cart Thursdays, which is not something that can be said of most companies.Lima One Capital is a nationwide lender to real estate investors who can apply for funding for (1) fix and flips, (2) rental properties, or (3) multifamily properties. Lima One currently has 130 employees, provides about 400 loans per month in 43 states, and is on track to loan over $1 billion this year. One of the other interesting and innovative aspects of their culture is the Leadership Lab meetings that occur once per month for Directors and above, where the focus is “fighting for the highest good of those we serve.” Out of this, Jeff created the customer service vision for Lima One where employees are to own every moment and invest in every opportunity.As he has gained more life experience, Jeff has been more intentional about adhering to a better work-life balance, prioritizing what is important to him during each season. He also talks about the pressure that many people feel to “have it all together”, but he brings up the point that no one knows what is going on in your back of stage even when your front of stage is picture perfect. To young entrepreneurs, Jeff emphasizes the importance of knowing what you want to measure and considering your capital base and the way that each decision might affect your risk profile. Having a handle on these two aspects of business and properly implementing your plan will help reduce a lot of the stress you might be carrying, and don’t forget that mistakes are only bad if you don’t learn from them.Links:Audible trial promotional link: https://www.audibletrial.com/thHubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th “Measure What Matters” book: https://amzn.to/2LH9txnConnect with Jeff: https://limaone.com/ https://twitter.com/jgtennysonConnect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriagehttps://www.facebook.com/timherriage/https://www.facebook.com/groups/timherriage/https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/ With business questions: ask@timherriage.comWith BBQ questions: bbq@timherriage.com

On this episode of the Business and BBQ Podcast, Tim discusses the power of positive thinking and simple mindset shifts that can change the direction of your personal and professional ventures. In the past, Tim has struggled with motivation and being easily swayed or discouraged by others, so when an ad for a Dean Graziozi and Tony Robbins Mastermind course crossed his path at just the right time, he decided to give it a shot.Going through this course in recent weeks has made Tim realize some of the negativity that he has been letting into his mind and the necessity of diving more deeply into this idea of positive thinking. Once he is finished with this course, he plans to create a Mastermind about creating wealth through real estate investing focused on rental properties. The main ideas that Tim wants to share in this Mastermind are making beneficial changes to your environment, business relationships, and personal relationships, adding a filter to your decision-making process that helps you determine if this thing adds to your ROI, and choosing to not let problems dictate your life. By focusing on the task at hand and giving your full attention to being there, you are already well on your way.Tim’s 3 main takeaways from the course have been:Have a positive attitude – If you are struggling to keep things in perspective, take a trip to a foreign country and see the poverty and difficulties facing families there.Surround yourself with people who are where you want to be – Take inventory of your current associates and see if they are strengthening you or bringing you down.Commit some time to being unplugged every week – Everyone needs to be “rebooted” every once in a while, taking the time needed to get back to a simpler life and kill negativity.As a practical application of these takeaways, Tim organized a Meet and Eat on Thursday, May 9th, at Heim Barbecue which was intended to help people have a positive attitude, surround themselves with like-minded and aspirational people, and unplug.

Our guest on this episode of the Business and BBQ Podcast is Robert Greenberg, CMO of Patch of Land, a crowdfunded real estate investment mortgage lending organization. Robert has spent more than 30 years in the marketing industry and he and Tim worked together at B2R several years ago. Robert’s marketing philosophy regarding lead generation, lead conversion, and client fulfillment is top notch, and if you listen to what he says, you will come away from this podcast with business-altering information.Early in his career, Robert worked on marketing for Harrah’s casinos, and he learned and applied some timeless lead generation strategies through database marketing. After determining the target market, the key is to get as many of those people as possible into your database and track their behavior patterns as they interact with you. This data can be used to follow up or call people to action based on their typical behaviors. Next, you should think about what your target customers have in common and consider each step of the customer journey, from initial contact to follow up after the service.Tim gives an example of a company cold calling him to see if he needed any Bobcat work done. They found him by Googling “real estate investors”, and then consistently followed up and checked in with him throughout the process to make sure he was satisfied. Tim typically would have given them a review on Google or Facebook, but the company didn’t have an online presence. Instead, he posted a video on his own Facebook page of their work and posted their phone number as his recommendation.When it comes to prospecting, you must understand the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the customer. Take a step back and adopt their mindset to recognize what they really need in this moment. Even if they do not buy anything from you, if you have created value that the customer needed, you have fulfilled the purpose of client relations. This is where knowing your KPIs (key performance indicators) is so important – you know that in order to close 5 deals, you need to talk to 50 people, which means you need to make 100 calls. Working backwards often takes out a lot of the guess work and helps you focus on productivity.Finally, Robert outlines his 4 things to do this week to get more leads:Answer your phone and be accessibleKeep track of leads and follow up with them through a CRM or Excel documentUse your leads data to start doing email marketing through MailchimpAlso, try to build a webpage with a contact form and work on your SEO (search engine optimization).Work within your budget and be resourceful as you first get started. Just start somewhere and be consistent. Provide your customers with a unique perspective that brings them value.Connect with Robert:https://patchofland.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/robtgreenberg Links:Audible trial promotional link: https://www.audibletrial.com/thHubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th “The E Myth” by Michael Gerber: https://amzn.to/2H0VC0zConnect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriage https://www.facebook.com/timherriage/ https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/ With business questions: ask@timherriage.co

If you struggle with procrastination – and who doesn’t at some point? – this is the episode for you! Tim discusses one of his favorite books “Eat That Frog” and tells listeners his top 3 takeaways from author Brian Tracy’s insights on avoiding procrastination. If you have never heard it, the concept of eating a frog comes from Mark Twain who said that you should eat a frog at the beginning of your day because anything you do after that cannot possibly be as bad as eating a frog.First, it is important to know the 6 P’s: proper prior planning prevents poor performance. Understanding and implementing this idea into your daily life is easiest when you follow the 7 Steps:Decide exactly what you want.Write it down on. (Think on paper).Set a deadline.Make a list of everything required to meet your goal.Organize your list into a plan.Take action immediately and avoid analysis paralysis. REMEMBER: “An average plan vigorously executed is far better than a brilliant plan on which nothing is done.”Resolve to do something every day, even if you have to ask for help.The second important tidbit Tim gleaned from “Eat That Frog” is the ability to say “no.” If you say “yes” to too many things just to make other people happy or because you feel like you should, you will get to the point where you have to say “no” to something that you really want to do because of your time limitations. Finally, Brian Tracy outlines a helpful system for setting priorities that can keep you on track and able to pursue your goals. Tracy describes this as the ABCDE system, but Tim lists it backwards to help the categorization.E – Eliminate. There are probably 3-4 things right now that you can take off of your plate.D – Delegate or outsource. Let go of some of your control and come to peace with the fact that “good enough is good enough.”C – Nice to do. These could be things such as networking, or having lunch outside of the office.B – Should do. In contrast to things in the previous or next categories, these are almost imperative items such as proper reporting.A – Must do. These things are very important because of their serious consequences. You may want to number these as A1, A2, A3, A4, etc. based on their exact priority.Links:Audible trial promotional link: http://www.audibletrial.com/thHubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th “Eat That Frog” book: https://amzn.to/2XFICD6Brian Tracy website: https://www.briantracy.com/Connect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriage https://www.facebook.com/timherriage/ https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/ With business questions: ask@timherriage.comWith BBQ questions: bbq@timherriage.com
