In a recent Allianz Life survey, more than 75% of people age 44 and up said that they fear outliving their money more than death! Real estate investing is one of the best ways to generate the kind of passive income that can take away that fear, but most of us don’t have the time or the talent to identify a good property, renovate it, find a tenant, get it cash flowing and manage the asset long-term. Is there a way to invest in out-of-state rental properties and earn mailbox money without being actively involved in the process? Maureen McCann is the VP of Sales and Marketing at Spartan Invest, a turnkey real estate investment firm based in Birmingham, Alabama. Spartan has made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the US four years in a row.

Maureen offers insight around the Spartan approach to renovating single-family homes and describes how the business collects recurring revenue on each sale through property management. She also addresses the different ways to buy out-of-state investment properties, from traditional financing to leveraging a retirement savings account.

This week the guys tackle five questions from the audience on windfalls, real estate, and building credit.  Question One  First off, let me start by saying I’m loving the Investment Property series you guys are doing. I totally want to get into this, just need to figure out how to save for that first down payment…  My question is this…you guys talked about saving 15% a month for the reserve account to cover vacancy and break fixes…Let’s say you own a great property, and you don’t have to dip into the reserve account much for a long time. Is there a point where you cap it and stop contributing to the reserve account?  Aaron via Email  You won’t want to keep all of the property earnings in your reserve account because in the unlikely case you do get sued – say goodbye to that money. Part of our strategy is to choose insurance policies with high deductibles so for fixes and updates that are not major will pay out of pocket. By not making small claims, our monthly premium low.e are keeping the reserve account up to our deductible. We don’t want to use the insurance unless we have to to keep our monthly payments low going forward.  What we are keeping in our reserve account is the amount of our deductible. So, if let’s say our deductible is $10,000, we want to be able to cover anything below that therefore we keep $10,000 in our reserve account. There will be big fixes eventually if you hold the property for many years so plan for significant expenses. If you know, you have to replace the AC unit or roof in the next year, plan for that by putting extra money aside in the reserve account the months leading up to it.  Question Two  Could you walk me through your decision to go with Roofstock as opposed to Memphis Invest or some other traditional turn-key company? My wife and I have spoken with Memphis Invest, and it seems like they run a tight ship and have an excellent reputation in the REI community. Were you simply looking for higher returns than their markets offered? I’m drawn to the fact that the properties are completely rehabbed before being rented, and they seemingly do an excellent job of reducing risk within their property management (minimum of 2-year leases, very in-depth vetting, etc.)  Joseph via Email  Memphis Invest is an extremely high-quality operation and great company. For us, the properties Roofstock offered were more what were-were looking for as a beginner investor. The homes were cheaper with Roofstock so we were able to try it out without investing a significant amount of money.  As new investors, homes with Memphis Invest were just more than we wanted to spend on a property. We also wanted to spread around the risk by investing in multiple properties rather than putting all our eggs in one basket. This strategy has worked well for us making our average returns are higher with the less expensive properties.  Question Three  Is there anything I can do credit-wise/savings-wise/career-wise to increase my likelihood of getting approved for a mortgage loan?  Nyequita Smith via Email  Getting approved for a mortgage is all about your attractiveness to creditors. To improve that you’ll need to increase your credit worthiness. Try for more on time payments. If you only have one credit card and then you only have one on time payment a month regardless if it $3,000 or $30. Get more credit cards and put really small things on them like Netflix, Hulu, coffee, etc. Pay each of them off every month. This is a simple way to increase your number of time payments and credit score.  Increase credit utilization. Call your card companies and request to increase your limit. When you have more available, your percentage utilize is lower. If you are maxing out your cards everything it doesn’t look good to creditors. If you increase your limit and only using a small amount ... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you want to watch someone build a legacy in real time, simply pay attention to what Kent Clothier is doing in his life and with his business. Kent is the founder and CEO of Real Estate Worldwide (REWW), where he leads an amazing team of individuals that are focused on building disruptive systems, software and techniques that help real estate investors and professionals achieve astounding success in less time. In 2015, Kent became the only family to have FOUR businesses on the Inc 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies. And for the past 2.5 years I was proud to be a part of that growth, helping to direct the marketing strategies, campaigns and operations during a very high-growth period in his company. Kent started off as a client of mine, became a friend, and then a business partner, but most importantly a valuable mentor in my life as well. I think of him as a "Friend-tor." So in this episode, which has been 2 years too late, I wanted to dig in deeper and ask Kent questions that I might not already know the answer to and help pull out the advice he has for entrepreneurs, whether they are in real estate or any industry. You'll hear how Kent started off in business in his early 20's trading groceries for a profit and built that business, and the business that acquired it, into a $2 billion a year industry-leader. This put millions of dollars into his pocket before he was 30 years old. And you'll hear how a bold but stupid move caused him to lose everything he had within a year only to rebuild his fortune bigger and better in the real estate industry, systematically dominating every market he entered using a principle called "Reverse Wholesaling" that he learned in the grocery business. Most importantly, you'll hear Kent's unwavering focus on what's important in his life, maximizing every moment with his family and friends, very consciously designing his life the way he wants it and encouraging others to do to the same with his message that "The Time Is Now" Here are some of the highlights from this episode: What is Real Estate wholesaling and how does it work? What is holding people back from success? The importance of mindset. Facing the reality of time. It is reckless and irresponsible to act like you have all the time in the world. You don’t. Fighting for your dream. Paying for your time. Mundane things, in business and in your personal life, need to be done. Paying someone for an hour of work is paying for an hour of your time to do whatever you need to do – spend time with family, exercising, relaxing, etc. Is it worth it to spend a large amount of money on something like a business coach or consultant? The benefits of a Visionary/Integrator relationship. Kent benefited from having a lot of mentors over the years. Do you have a mentor? Opportunities in Wholesaling and Real Estate. You can contact Kent on Facebook, www.KentClothier.com or www.REWW.com. Kent is also starting a podcast soon, so keep an eye out for it. Did you enjoy the show? Do you have any book recommendations?

In this episode my guest Phil Bottfeld and I are talk about the different models used by management companies for out-of-town investors.  The first way is the way http://www.memphisinvest.com sells you a property, rehabs it, and manages it for you.  The second way companies work is how http://www.homeunion.com operates where they sell you a house and then management it for you.  We compare and contrast these two methods and discuss the fees involved with each.

We interview Chris Clothier from Memphis Invest to explain real estate investments without the mess. Collect the rent check while someone else does the dirty work!  Passive Income  If you’ve listened to LMM for any length of time, you know how much we emphasize the importance of passive income. One of the keys to building wealth and achieving financial independence is to have more than one source of income and because there are only so many hours in a day, some of that income should be passive. Passive income is income generated with minimal effort on your part. Good sources of passive income can include your investments and retirement accounts, making money from things you already do like driving, shopping, or going out to dinner and our favorite, rental property income. Becoming a landlord can generate significant passive income. But how can owning rental property be considered passive income if you’re searching for homes to buy, tenets to live in them, and handling any repairs that have to be done and the whole list of other things a landlord has to do? The secret to making rental property a source of truly passive income is hiring a management company to deal with the day to day hassles of being a landlord. Turn Key Turn key rental property means that the home is ready to be rented out as is. Any needed repairs or upgrades have been completed and it’s ready for occupancy. This is the best kind of property to buy if you’re going to be an out of state landlord. It’s hard enough to deal with renovations when you’re local, almost impossible if you’re trying to do everything from a distance. There are turnkey management companies too. The right turnkey management company can do nearly everything for you from finding the property and renovating it, to putting a tenant in place and dealing with any repairs and maintenance that might need to be done. They collect the rent and send you a check. They also handle the sometimes protracted process involved when a tenant has to be evicted. You pay a management fee which is typically 8-12% of the monthly rent, some charge additional fees to cover expenses, and some charge a flat monthly fee. You can’t just blindly turn such a big investment over to anyone. You need to do your research when looking for a management company. Are there any real estate centered Meet Ups you could attend either in your local area or the area you want to buy in? It might be worth a trip to talk to some local investors and get recommendations for a management company. If you can’t travel, the internet has plenty of reviews for management companies so you at least have a starting point.   Once you have a few recommendations you can start interviewing companies. The preliminary round can be over the phone but once you have your list further narrowed down, you probably want to make a trip down in person. Some key questions are:   * How long has the company been in business in the local area? * What services do you offer? * How many properties do you manage? * Can the renter and I reach someone 24 hours a day? * What are the fees? * Under what circumstances can I cancel my contract? * Do the fees change when there is no tenet in the property? * How do you screen tenets?
