Welcome back to The Real Estate Nerds Podcast! On today's Bad Beats episode, . Real estate attorney and intrepid host Scott Smith interviews fellow real estate investor Marco Santarelli. Marco is the founder of Norada Real Estate Investments, a nationwide provider of turnkey cash-flow investment properties. Since 2004, they've helped over 1,000 investors create wealth and passive income through real estate. Marco also shares his expertise with investors all over the country for free as the host of the popular Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast. Today, he tells Scott about one of his worst deals, and shares what investors can learn from his mistakes. After all, as us true Real Estate Nerds know, a Bad Beat is only a failure if you don't learn from it. So that's exactly what we're going to do. Let's dive right in.Bad Deals and Good Deals All Start the Same WayScott introduces Marco and gets his perspective on the many ways deals can go bad. In the beginning, it can be hard to tell what you're in for amidst all the excitement.[1:00] Marco jumped right into real estate at 18 years old, the moment he became eligible for financing. 15 years later, he's still in the business and helping other investors find high cash-flow properties. He's seen great success, in part, because he's willing to look at and learn from his mistakes as an investor.[3:00] Both experts agree that good deals and bad deals look the same at first glance. Marco recommends a top-down approach that takes the whole picture into account, rather than remaining hyper-focused on the property itself:[4:00]“You can't look at the property and the property only. You have to look at the macro picture...You start with the market, then work your way down to the suburb, the neighborhoods, then the property.” He suggests further analysis on the tenant, management aspects, and other details of the deal structure.[5:30] Small errors in judgment can escalate quickly. Marco tells a wild story of trusting the wrong property manager. They had a good relationship and had worked together before, that ended abruptly when she ran off with $6,000 of his money. There were red flags he ignored because of their prior success.[6:10] Scott points out how it can be hard to let go of a formerly trusted colleague, even if they've done you wrong: “It's like a breakup, where I'm still in love with you, even though you've been terrible to me.”[7:20] In retrospect, Marco realizes that he should have brought in outside property management. He'd known his runaway manager as an agent, but had never used her as a property manager. Our guest and host agree that just because a person is outstanding at one job doesn't mean they're qualified for another one.Marco Santarelli on How Deals Go WrongStrangely enough, the $6,000 Marco lost isn't the bad beat he came on our show to talk about. Scott and Marco dive into the dirty details of Marco's worst deal.[9:45] Scott asks Marco about what his worst deal was, and what circumstances led up to it. To understand what went wrong, Marco explains the context of the deal. Hhis business, Norada, helps investors with turnkey investments. His company plays an active role in “We want our investor-clients to take their “chunks” of cash and convert it into cash-flow, where you have a stream of cash Flipping business. Things started well enough, and he developed an active business that saw initial success. [12:20] Marco's very first deal under his new business lost him $17,700. Fortunately, his next deals covered the losses and he was making decent average profits. But the complexities of his business set-up, market issues, and operational issues with appraisers contributed to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction.[13:30] When Marco realized how much his business was taking him away from his true passions in life, he knew it was time for a change: “What was once a baby grew into a monster. It was sucking up more and more of my time...I'd built myself a business that was really a job.” He began scaling down and selling off his properties.[14:34] Marco points out that the realities of flipping are stressful, time-consuming, and not nearly as easy as the media would lead new investors to believe. He cautions against getting investing advice from reality shows: “If you watch HGTV, or you watch all these flipping shows on TV, let's face it, it's reality TV. They're going to show you what they want to show you that makes good TV, but it's not as sexy or as glamorous as you see on TV.” [15:00] While TV shows show the “wins” in flipping and make it look like easy money, Scott Smith points out that there's actually a high level of knowledge required to be a successful flipper. Effective flippers understand markets, unexpected price increases, contractor relations, repair times, and much more. Marco agrees, and offers advice to those considering entering real estate as flippers: “If you're going to flip property, even if it's just one, you need to understand that nothing goes exactly as planned.” [15:30][17:00] While Marco started out in flipping, his Bad Beat started out as a joint venture he was persuaded to get in on. The sponsor who approached him allowed him control over the deal. The first few went well, and they quickly were earning capital in the millions. But over time as operations scaled up, this side project become more problematic and emotionally stressful. Market conditions and Marco's lack of fulfilment drove him to shift his focus towards buy-and-holds and helping other investors.[19:00] Appreciation has influenced Marco's transition: “We're in a seller's market in virtually every part of the country, and because of that, prices are appreciating or going up faster than rents.” This created a major problem for Marco's turn-key properties, as flipping is difficult in this climate. He was forced to diversify, as investors had lower interest in these deals and sales naturally slowed. Conservative appraisals created yet another problem.[21:00] Tight inventory made good deals increasingly hard to find. “When you're averaging single digit returns, that's not enough meat on the bone to continue trying to build the business [22:40]. Under these circumstances, Marco was faced with the choice of being more selective and screening deals more carefully, or downgrading the class of properties he was buying to maintain a profit. The only alternative of moving to a different market didn't appeal to Marco at all.The Takeaway: Vet Your Team and Know When To Walk AwayScott and Marco end the show by discussing their strategies for evaluating potential team members.[23:30] Our guest highlights a truth of the investing world: “Real estate is a team sport. You never do anything by yourself.” Scott agrees, and regularly encourages his clients to have a dream team of an attorney, a CPA, and a dealmaker. Marco has prepared a team on the ground in Chicago, but hasn't yet advanced in making purchases as he is still unloading his existing properties.[27:00] The two investors discuss their habits for vetting a team. Scott takes new team members to hang out where he lives in the Austin area, sometimes taking members on a hike or other normal activity. This helps him get to know the other person, as their defenses drop and it allows both people to feel each other out. Marco sees the wisdom in this strategy, but acknowledges that you never really know what someone is like in a business sense until you're already “in bed” with them. He believes the best you can do is get to know someone, do your homework on them, and look at their work and references.[28:30] Contractors are trickier to vet, but tools like Angie's List can help. Evaluating their past work and taking these relationships slowly can also help, in Marco's experience.[29:30] Scott Smith sometimes gets a work product from a team member, then has another professional come in to evaluate that product. Putting the professionals head-to-head gives Scott insight into both of their characters and their work. He notes that this strategy is particularly useful for his own kind: lawyers. This “test” can be done inexpensively, and Scott isn't afraid to have a little fun with watching fellow lawyers face off for under $100: “It's also just kind of entertaining to watch a cock-fight every now and then.”[30:30] The major lesson Scott observes from Marco's story is the value of walking away before a Bad Beat gets worse. Marco's business wasn't a total failure, but it simply wasn't sustainable when scaled up under current market conditions. Marco has retained his success by sharing his knowledge and experience with new investors and being willing to diversify.Connect With Marco SantarelliFollow Marco Santarelli's business activities by checking out his main website, NoradaRealEstate.com.

His mission is to help people create financial freedom by taking the guesswork out of investing, and he has been helping investors create wealth and passive income for the past 15 years.

When it comes to investing in single-family homes, it's about the market and understanding the location. Does it have what you want—cash flow, appreciation, or a combination of the two? Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Marco Santarelli about passive real estate investing and single-family properties. Marco is the founder and CEO of Norada Real Estate Investments, a nationwide provider of turnkey cash-flow investment properties. Also, he’s the author of Passive Real Estate Investing and host of the Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast. Marco is on a mission to create wealth and passive income by giving people a path to financial freedom with real estate.   Highlights/Topics:    Why did Marco become an out-of-state real estate investor? Competition and high prices forced him out of his market. Investing in markets miles away made more sense. Why invest in only red or blue states? As far as returns go, a lot of that has to do with property or state taxes, or unintended consequences of policies from politicians. How many new investors are going to be interested in investing in that market in the future? None. In California, they’re intentionally trying to destroy the rental market. What’s Marco’s criteria when finding properties? It's not always and only about the property. When investing, take a macro view of things. What are Marco’s Rules of Successful Real Estate Investing? No. 6 is to take a top-down approach. Select real estate markets that align with your investment goals.  With real estate, are there enough opportunities? The United States has more than 400 major metropolitan statistical areas and large regions. Is all real estate local? There's truth in that. Some even think all real estate is not just local, but hyper-local. What are the ABCs of ‘hot’ markets, right now? Atlanta, Baltimore, Carlton, and Dallas. When it comes to making investments, it’s all market data-driven.  Can Marco’s business actually source properties for people? Yes, that's one of the many value-added services. People and properties make his business work. What criteria does Marco consider? What’s his process for helping investors? Everything always starts with a strategy session. It's free and takes 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the level of complexity and questions asked. Why is Marco not a fan of the one-stop-shop concept? There are different resources available to investors, including lenders, property managers, title companies, home inspectors, appraisers, asset protection attorneys, CPAs, and tax advisers.  Resources   Free Book: https://www.noradarealestate.com/freebook/  (https://www.noradarealestate.com/freebook/?utm_source=AndersonAdvisors) Free Strategy Session: https://www.noradarealestate.com/contact (https://www.noradarealestate.com/contact/?utm_source=AndersonAdvisors) 10 Rules of Successful Real Estate Investing Section 8 Housing Clint Coons Anderson Advisors Anderson Advisors Tax and Asset Protection Event Anderson Advisors on YouTube

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Marco Santarelli. Marco is the host of the Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast and the founder of Norada Real Estate, a premier real estate investment firm. His mission is to help others to create passive income and financial freedom by taking the guesswork out of investing for the past 15 years. His team is dedicated to researching top real estate growth markets and structuring complete turnkey real estate investments to minimize risk and maximize profitability. Marco started investing in real estate at the age of 18 after watching his mother work extremely hard at two jobs after their parents divorced to raise her two sons. He purchased his first rental at 18, fixed up the home, and rented the house. Many years later, Marco made the leap in 2003 to get back into real estate after trying other businesses. In the nine months after his re-introduction, he accumulated 84 doors, mostly single-family small apartments. Others were asking Marco to coach them, although he wasn't interested. Marco offered to pass along deals to others, realizing there was a niche business to provide investment property rentals to investors. These properties could become turn-key properties and wanted to define a minimum standard for real estate. Marco refers to minimum standards within his own company's standardization for rental properties. There are standards which Marco's company defines for turn-key real estate: Property is in a good, stable market Property is located in a good, safe neighborhood Property is new or newly renovated or new Tenant occupied Cash flow positive Can be managed by full-service property management Remember that turn-key rent-ready real estate is differentiated from the minimum standard for real estate can be in good condition, there may be limited life left on the roof, the home is stabilized with cash flow, a tenant. You can cash flow until you have to make renovations. At some point, you'll need to take your profits and create a passive stream of income to start on the pathway to financial freedom. You need to know the criteria that you want for your investment portfolio, so you aren't wasting time on real estate, which does not fit the requirements for your portfolio.

Interested in finding out more? Email me at Mike@juststartrealestate.com with the subject line “help,” and we’ll get on a call together to see if this program is a good fit for you and your business. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Marco Santarelli. Marco is the host of the Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast and the founder of Norada Real Estate, a premier real estate investment firm. His mission is to help others to create passive income and financial freedom by taking the guesswork out of investing for the past 15 years. His team is dedicated to researching top real estate growth markets and structuring complete turnkey real estate investments to minimize risk and maximize profitability. Marco started investing in real estate at the age of 18 after watching his mother work extremely hard at two jobs after their parents divorced to raise her two sons. He purchased his first rental at 18, fixed up the home, and rented the house.  Many years later, Marco made the leap in 2003 to get back into real estate after trying other businesses. In the nine months after his re-introduction, he accumulated 84 doors, mostly single-family small apartments. Others were asking Marco to coach them, although he wasn’t interested. Marco offered to pass along deals to others, realizing there was a niche business to provide investment property rentals to investors. These properties could become turn-key properties and wanted to define a minimum standard for real estate. Marco refers to minimum standards within his own company’s standardization for rental properties. There are standards which Marco’s company defines for turn-key real estate: Property is in a good, stable market Property is located in a good, safe neighborhood Property is new or newly renovated or new Tenant occupied Cash flow positive  Can be managed by full-service property management Remember that turn-key rent-ready real estate is differentiated from the minimum standard for real estate can be in good condition, there may be limited life left on the roof, the home is stabilized with cash flow, a tenant.

In this episode of “Ask Marco” we answer some listener questions. Here is the actual email text: Hello Marco, I’m looking to purchase my first investment property sooner rather than later. I’ve been reading tons of books, blogs, and and listening to podcasts incessantly for the past couple of months, including the Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast (which is a great podcast. Thank you!) I live in NYC which has way too high an entrance cost into the market. Having lived in Portland Or for 9 years, I know the areas and market. It has a much lower entrance cost than NYC. But, I feel it’s kind of at the top end of a boom and I would still need to save for about a year for down payment money. Being a fan of your podcast I decided to look into Norada and was kind of blown away at how accessible rental properties are in other markets. I got excited at the prospect of being able to acquire multiple properties within a year. So, I guess my first question is addressing my lack of knowledge about these cities. I know NYC and Portland. I’m not too familiar with, say, Kansas City or Dallas and I’m uncertain of exactly what I’d be buying. This is my biggest source of uncertainty. Second, I love that Norada has a lot of the due diligence right there for each property. But, in the spirit of “trust but verify,” what research would you recommend I put forward beyond the wonderful data provided? And lastly, say I saw a property you have on Norada and decided it was what I wanted to purchase.  What would the first steps be? Thank you for your time and help, Robert F. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Download your FREE copy of: The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.
