Do you dream of ditching your nine-to-five and living off rentals full-time? Today's guests did more than dream—they engineered their exit from corporate America and built a $10,000,000 rental portfolio in just FOUR years. And the best part? They did it without a ton of money and without swinging a single hammer! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Niti Jamdar and Palak Shah spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before realizing they weren't really building wealth. So, they set a clear goal—to leave their W2 jobs in just five years with real estate. They ended up crushing that goal, building a multimillion-dollar portfolio in just four years! If you want to scale your real estate portfolio fast, there's arguably no better investing strategy than the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), which allows you to continuously tap into your equity to buy more rental properties. In this episode, Niti and Palak will share their “SCALE” framework, step by step, which simplifies this strategy so that even the greenest investor can understand it! In This Episode We Cover: How Niti and Palak built a $10,000,000 portfolio in just four years Growing your real estate portfolio faster with the “SCALE” framework How to create time, location, and financial freedom with real estate investing Tips and tricks for managing a successful rehab project from start to finish Leveraging commercial financing to scale faster than you thought possible Boosting rents with high-ROI renovations and tenant-friendly finishes And So Much More!

We've learned quite a bit on Raise the Line about the growing trend of providing medical care in the home, particularly as it relates to services enabled by advances in remote monitoring technologies. In this episode, we're adding to that base of knowledge by focusing on what's happening with in-home physical therapy services. Our guide will be Palak Shah, PT, the co-founder and head of clinical services at Luna, a leading provider of in-home physical therapy that has completed one million patient visits in twenty-eight states since its founding in 2019. “Our patients appreciate this option so much because there are so many hurdles to access -- time constraints, ability to come to a clinic, the cost of travel, the dependency on family and caregivers -- and Luna eliminates all of that,” Shah tells host Michael Carrese.  The company has also focused on convenience for its 3,000 licensed providers through developing an app that integrates documentation, care coordination, billing, scheduling and other administrative tasks. But can you actually provide high-quality care for a full range of patient needs in what might often be small spaces? Based on data from its patient population in Southern California, Shah says Luna found that 87% of people can be seen in the home because large pieces of equipment are not needed to provide the required treatments. Tune in to learn how the services are paid for, how the system works for the hospitals and practice groups the company partners with, and what Luna's providers say about working in the home environment.Mentioned in this episode: Luna

 If you want to build a rental portfolio, you need to know how to scale the right way. Buying a property every year or two is good, but it won't give you the financial freedom you desire. However, if you know how to double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you're acquiring without adding tons of tasks (or stress) to your plate, you could be financially independent faster than you've ever thought. This is precisely what Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah did, building a ten-million-dollar real estate portfolio in less than a decade. As two burnt-out corporate workers, Niti and Palak were tired of putting their jobs before their future family. So after having children, they realized it was time to start building something that would help them regain their freedom instead of shackling them to golden handcuffs. With a busy schedule and little time, Niti and Palak were forced to automate, delegate, and systematize their real estate business. And now, you can copy their exact steps. In their newest book, Accelerate Your Real Estate: Build a Hands-Off Rental Portfolio with the SCALE Strategy, Niti and Palak uncover the five-step system to unlock eight-figure wealth. They used this same strategy to build their portfolio with little free time or money to throw at projects. In this episode, they'll review these five BRRRR-inspired steps, explain why today's market isn't what most people think it is, and debunk the myths that'll stop you from investing. In This Episode We Cover: The five-step “SCALE” system Niti and Palak used to build an eight-figure portfolio  Quitting corporate to find financial freedom, start a family, and build wealth  BRRRRing in 2023 and why the Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat strategy isn't dead Investing with high mortgage rates and why inexperienced investors are wrong about them Outsourcing, delegating, and how to run a HUGE portfolio without any employees  Real estate myths that stop you from building wealth (and how to get around them) And So Much More!

On this week's episode I got to sit down with Palak Shah, a mechanical engineer-turned-real estate investor, who is on a mission to empower women and minorities to build their own real estate empires, despite the risk-averse conditioning of their past. Palak is the founder and CEO of Open Spaces, a company with two arms: Open Spaces Capital, an investing arm with a $10 million portfolio of residential and commercial rentals, and Open Spaces Women, an education arm that helps others transition from the corporate grind to real estate investing.   Palak previously worked as a mechanical engineer for 17 years and, after deciding to have kids, realized she had to choose between motherhood and career growth. She and her husband decided to buy a few rent ready rentals and, after realizing it was something they wanted to pursue, Shah quit her job to focus on real estate investing. She found a value add investing strategy that allowed her to buy distressed properties   "We don't realize that the higher up we climb in the corporate ladder, the less time we have for the family. And it came to a point where I felt like I was in a very unfair position where as a woman I had to choose between enjoying motherhood and enjoying career growth."     In this episode you will learn: How to build wealth through long-term rental properties as opposed to flipping them. How to leverage money up front when starting out in real estate investing.

Do you feel exhausted when it comes to communicating with your pre-teen or teen? Today, I have Palak Shah a former mechanical engineer who left her corporate job to pursue a life that worked around her family. Palak shares with us the challenges she ran into being a mom to young kids and struggling to find the balance of being an exceptional employee and a present mom. She talks about how she decided to take a chance and start a business and what that looked like. Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast. Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did! I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you. How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call. If you decide that you want to work that plan with me and have that weekly accountability for several months and dive deep to figure out what is really holding you back we can do that too. But there is no pressure to do that, if you just want to jump on and chat with me and get a plan to get you started that is perfect. These mini coaching sessions are my way to give back to you guys, so I hope you take advantage of it. So if you are interested in more details  you can DM me at Mom Inspired Living or if you know this is something you have been waiting for grab your spot at Mominspiredshow.com/coaching, if you don't see a date and time that works for you, DM me Mom Inspired Living or email me at amber@mominspiredshow.com Guest Info: Palak ShahWebsite - www.openspaceswomen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/openspaceswomen/

Palak Shah is a physical therapist and Co-Founder of Luna who is attacking the problem of providing physical therapy to the growing population of patients with the need to receive in-person care by a physical therapist. Palak explains, "What is super different about Luna is that we're not a home health agency. We're bringing out physical therapy to patient homes for all our patients in 19 states and 32 metro markets today. Having about 1,200 therapists on the platform now throughout the country, bringing technology and high-quality care from the therapists, is Luna's superpower. The vision here is what we're trying to bring with technology and these amazing quality therapists is to reimagine the physical therapy experience." "All of Luna's therapists are moonlighting with Luna, more than 95% and hence the name Luna. So they are working at outpatient clinics today that are in our community, but also have this amazing opportunity to participate with an organization like Luna that allows them supplemental income." @GetLunaCare #COVID19 #HomePhysicalTherapy #HospitalatHome #PhysicalTherapist #PT #PhysicalTherapy #Recovery #Rehab #RehabatHome #Rehabilitation #RehabTherapy #Treatment GetLuna.com Listen to the podcast here

Palak Shah, CEO Ekaya Banaras opens up on post-pandemic style and the new-age closet essentials.

The profession of physical therapy continues to change. Burnout, reimbursement, access, and a growing population of older adults has put us at the forefront of a very unique and opportune time to shape the way future PT's conduct care. Our conversation today will provide insight from one of the leaders working to improve all of the aspects of outpatient physical therapy. The pioneer in the way outpatient PT is done is being led by a company called Luna Physical Therapy. Although I am slightly biased having utilized the platform for almost 2 years, the digital software company is shaping the way outpatient care can be easy, effective, and accessible to the average patient. With one phone call and verifying your insurance, a doctor of physical therapy will come to your door to aid you in your very own care plan to recovery. With innovative voice documentation, concierge teams at your disposal, and setting your own schedule, the company allows for you to work as much as you'd like while making competitive wages given your area. On the side of patient satisfaction, the patient receives personalized, 1:1, physical therapy treatment at their convenience. Nevertheless, this has been a game changer for me and here to discuss more about the company is the Head of Clinical services and part co-founder of Luna itself.

The people who go to work in other people's homes perform essential jobs - like house cleaners, nannies, elder care workers - but lack the same rights and protections as other workers. In the second installment of our coronavirus miniseries, Jim and Molly talk with Palak Shah of the National Domestic Workers Alliance about how the pandemic has affected these workers, and how the Alliance is building a new kind of safety net for them - online.

Palak Shah is the founder of Open Spaces Capital and discusses the five reasons that 30 year mortgage financing is better for landlords and buy and hold real estate investors over 15 year mortgage financing.

In this episode, I talked with Palak Shah, who is the founder and owner of Open Spaces Capital that generates over $1M in revenue. She brought her knowledge and 17 years of experience in building systems, processes, and scaling from her corporate career in engineering leadership to fast track her real estate investing journey. In her first two years investing full-time, she purchased, renovated, rented, and refinanced properties creating a $4M rental portfolio. It is now her passion to empower other investors to pursue entrepreneurship through real estate investing to live a financially free life without taking undue risks or over-leveraging through her coaching program at Open Spaces Women. We began, as we often do, talking about Palak's background and what brought her real estate investing. She worked as a mechanical engineer in the corporate world for 17 years, traveling all over the world, loving her career, but when she had kids, everything changed. She had less and less time to spend with her family as she climbed the corporate ladder, and that left her feeling resentful and wanting something more. By the time she decided to leave her corporate job, she and her husband had already invested in a couple of rental properties, and she started to get her footing as an investor with those. I asked Palak how she transitioned from her full-time job into real estate investing. She walked through how she analyzed the feasibility of working from home while raising her kids rather than remaining in her corporate position. We talked about how vital it is to have the support of your spouse as you move into a venture, especially when investing money. Palak discussed different investing strategies she utilizes in her real estate market of Philadelphia. She primarily employs the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) Method to grow both her portfolio and passive income. Palak talked about different ways she ‘supercharges' that particular strategy. I asked Palak if she is at all interested in other types of real estate investing such as wholesaling or flipping and she talked about how that would require her to expand her skill-set which would defeat the whole purpose of why she got into REI in the first place - to spend more time with her children. She is willing to spend money to hire a reputable wholesaler, agent, or general contractor so that she doesn't have to spend the time learning those tasks. Then we discussed how Palak finds her deals. She starts off by saying it does take some time and effort to build a good deal pipeline, but it begins with cultivating good relationships. She works with wholesalers and has done several deals with a realtor, but she still often finds workable deals on the MLS. We talked about how important it is in working with realtors to train them to the specifics you are looking for as an investor and how you run your numbers. Palak then walked us through a deal she did that ended up cash-flowing $3500 per month. She says she loves the property because so many positive things came out of doing that deal, such as completely revamping the neighborhood and even helping a neighbor to start a business. Palak said that since they figured out this super-charged BRRRR strategy she really wants to help other investors, especially dual-income families trying to raise kids. She has started a coaching program and has a new cohort beginning June 6th that you can check out by visiting https://www.openspaceswomen.com. I hope you will join me for this terrific and super-informative interview with brilliant engineer-turned-real estate investor, Palak Shah!

In this episode I interview Palak Shah. Just over 3 years ago Palak was a Mechanical Engineer with no experience in real estate investing. As a new mom, she asked her boss for a little flexibility in her schedule so that she could spend more time at home and to her surprise, her boss told her no. Her frustration led her to make a change and to her decision to become a real estate investor with the goal of creating financial and time freedom. She started listening to real estate podcasts, reading books and taking notes and most importantly applying what she learned. Within 3 years she built a real estate portfolio of over $4 million dollars and is scaling rapidly, all while being a full time mom. She also coaches others through her company Open Spaces to do the same.

This episode is part of a series recorded at PodMAX, an event that connects podcast hosts and entrepreneurs within the real estate space who have fascinating stories to share. Palak Shah, owner and founder of Open Spaces Capital and Open Spaces Women, joins True Multifamily to share her story of having a theft as soon as she closed the property. She mentioned how important contingency is and how her team made lemonades out of the lemons given to them. Palak shares her different approach, providing a long term strategy to provide quality housing when it comes to property management. Upon quitting her job and building her amazing portfolio, she envisioned getting women the support to learn more about real estate and learn more about value add investing, empowering women throughout the process. She was also featured on the BiggerPockets Money Podcast. For Palak, the best way to scale is to find a scalable model and to keep on doing it, providing excellent service to tenants through social impact and profitability.

For Palak Shah, successfully climbing the corporate ladder came at an unacceptable cost in work-life balance and having time to spend with her kids. After months of turmoil, the decision was made to become a single income family with Palak pursuing her passion in real estate and learning to grow a portfolio under the constraints of their much reduced financial resources. In this jam-packed and informative episode, Palak chronicles her journey into entrepreneurship in value-add investing and building a 4 million dollar portfolio, discussing strategies in project sourcing and funding options, targeting markets, screening tenants, women working in male-dominated industries, the gender wealth gap, and flexing your risk-taking muscles. Palak offers a wealth of information to investors on her website www.openspaceswomen.com, and although she does not downplay the hard work that comes with this choice, she has had no second thoughts on her decision to leave the corporate world and pursue her dreams.

She took the risk and left the safety of her career to build her own path as an entrepreneur.

One of the lies many of us have bought over the years is the American Dream. It seemed to work - at least back in the day of the GI bill and guaranteed mortgages. You work hard, go to college, and things will work out. You’ll be okay. And now, a lot of us who were privileged enough to be able to follow that path, are finding ourselves unable to reach that place of security anymore. It’s a new precarity - shared by almost everyone in America today - and what our guest Alissa Quart has beautifully documented in work at the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and in her new book, Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America. In today’s conversation, Alissa deconstructs the individualist, pull yourself up by the bootstraps myth, and looks at the way the system has failed so many Americans. “It’s not your fault,” emerges as the theme from Alissa’s eye-opening research and reporting.Today’s show begins with a monologue from Douglas on how the dynamics of cult thinking might help us understand the seemingly irrational commitment to Trump by his supporters. A full transcript of the essay that inspired this talk can be found on Rushkoff’s Medium page. If you enjoy this episode, you might also like our very first episode with debt resisters Astra Taylor and Thomas Gokey. Also mentioned in today’s show was Episode 93 guest Palak Shah whose work at the National Domestic Workers Alliance resonates with the many of the topics discussed in this episode.This show features intro music sampled from Fugazi’s Foreman’s Dog courtesy of Dischord records. Musical interludes include new, unreleased music from Herkimer Diamonds courtesy of Majestic Litter: https://majesticlitter.bandcamp.com/.You also heard a sampled loop from Episode 31 guest and Mondo 2000 creator, R.U.

Playing for Team Human today is Palak Shah, Social Innovations Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA). Palak will be enlightening us about America’s hidden labor force, the value they create, and how we can support her efforts to give them the voice and dignity they deserve. While domestic work has long been viewed as something less than “real work,” Palak explains how this invisible labor is actually the backbone of both our society and the economy. Together, Palak and Douglas look at how our perceptions of domestic work are so deeply influenced by biases of gender, race, and class. Shah also looks at how the legacy of slavery and decades of immigration policy continue to influence domestic work in today's economy. As the economy goes digital and the labor force increasingly moves online to platforms and apps, Shah and the NDWA are working to shape the way technology and the on-demand economy intersects with care work. It’s a conversation that brings us back to fundamental Team Human questions – Who is going to care for our children, our sick, and our elderly? Who's going to care for our caregivers?In this episode, Palak mentions a specific innovation for “portable benefits” called Alia. This week Alia is featured in Wired magazine. Read about it here: How an App Could Give Some Workers a Safety NetAlso mentioned is the Fair Care Pledge and the Good Work Code. This episode features a recording of Palak Shah’s speech before a live audience at the 2015 Persona Democracy Forum. Visit the PDF website for details and the complete presentation.Rushkoff opens the show with a monologue about the recent Facebook campaign to restore its image as a friend and partner in building a safe space on the internet.

Palak Shah is the Social Innovations Director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), the leading voice for the millions of women who work as domestic workers, women who have been excluded from U.S. labor laws for decades. The NDWA, founded in 2007 and consisting of 55 organizations around the country, champions an eight-value framework called the Good Work Code, which includes principles like safety, transparency, stability, flexibility, and inclusion. Shah helps domestic workers navigate challenges that derive from their jobs moving online—how to leave a job that feels unsafe, for instance, without fearing the repercussions of a negative rating on an app.

Palak Shah discusses The Good Work Code, an attempt to bring comprehensive worker's rights to Silicon Valley. And Yochai Benkler asks why the people who create all the content on Facebook - you and me - don't own it. All that and a commentary from Laura on Apple's questionable borrowing practices. Palak Shah is Social Innovations Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. In addition to helping create The Good Work Code, she has worked in state government, for Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, and in the grassroots, from Los Angeles' Bus Riders' Union to Generation Five and Oakland Rising, both in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yochai Benkler is author of The Wealth of Networks: How social production transforms markets and freedom. He is Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School, and faculty co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University.
