Podcasts about Real estate

Want to invest in real estate without swinging a hammer or begging a bank? Matt and Lou sit down with Alex Martyn of SPG Capital to talk about how smart investors are bypassing Wall Street and making their money work in real estate through private lending. This episode is about the real engine behind flips and rentals: capital. Alex breaks down how his fund operates, why he pays investors monthly, and what makes a good borrower (hint: it's not newbies watching HGTV).

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everybody! Happy New Year! It's 2026, and despite "feeling like ass" with a nasty flu, I'm fired up to share our 3-pronged attack strategy for the year ahead. History's repeating itself, folks: distressed real estate is on the rise, from residential notes to commercial defaults. Texas (and Florida's "errors") are hotspots, and opportunity knocks for those willing to roll up their sleeves!Forget 3% mortgages; people are tapping equity at 7% to survive, meaning more distressed assets hitting the market. Austin's getting a little too "hectic" with its "Democratic socialists" for my taste, so we're looking to South Texas for some probate action! This isn't just theory; it's our tactical approach to turn chaos into cash flow.Here's our battle plan for conquering distressed real estate in 2026:Non-Performing Notes & Strategic Sub-To Deals: We're targeting non-performing notes we can buy cheap enough for big checks or 12%+ cash flow. If not, we pivot to subject-to acquisitions with borrowers who have 20%+ equity, saving them from foreclosure while we pick up solid assets (using legal Texas wrap-arounds or lease options).South Texas Probate Power Plays: As Austin gets "not nice," we're diving deep into direct mail campaigns for probate deals in South Texas, aiming to scoop up properties from families who just want to move on.Capitalizing on Distressed Property & Borrower Engagement: Learn how we're reactivating direct marketing campaigns and old websites to find distressed properties, engaging directly with homeowners to help them avoid a credit-crushing foreclosure.The Unsung Hero: Consistent Marketing & Capital Raising: Discover why "consistency" is my word for 2026. Without it, you're a "ghost." We'll talk about effective social media (LinkedIn's good, Facebook's a "dumpster fire"), email lists, and why January-March are prime months for networking to raise capital.Why You Need to Take Action (Seriously!): This isn't a hobby; it's a business. Whether it's funding delinquencies or light rehab, you'll need capital. And if you've got a killer case study or a burning topic, reach out – we love to feature badasses closing deals!This isn't about sitting back and waiting; it's about leaning into the storm and finding the gold. If you're ready to stop getting "hobby results" and want to turn distressed properties into real wealth, it's time to act.

In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Brian Luebben to break down how he built wealth rapidly by combining real estate investing, business buying, and a disciplined cash flow strategy. Brian shares how he transitioned from a successful corporate sales career to financial freedom in just a few years—starting with house hacking and co-living, then scaling into short-term rentals, business acquisitions, and eventually commercial real estate. He explains why many investors get stuck chasing equity instead of cash flow, and how clarity around income goals can simplify investing decisions. You'll also hear practical insights on buying cash-flowing businesses, using real estate for tax advantages like cost segregation, and why mindset alone isn't enough without a clear execution plan. If you're a high-income earner or investor trying to decide between real estate, business ownership, or both, this conversation offers a clear framework for building wealth with intention.

In "From Burnout To Freedom With Small Teams And Seller Financing," Jenn & Joe Delle Fave share how they transformed their real estate journey from burnout and oversized operations into a lean, profitable creative finance business focused on freedom, family, and great terms. They break down Jen's transition from teaching to full-time investing, Joe's shift into creative finance after being capped by banks, the $100-down 0% interest deal that changed everything, and why they chose fewer, bigger, higher-quality deals over high-volume chaos. They also reveal how they structure seller finance terms, work remotely while traveling, avoid risky flips and thin wholesale fees, navigate today's high-rate market, and use masterminds and mentorship to accelerate results—all while building a business designed to support their life, not the other way around. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Pastor Dexter Jenkins. Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to educate and inspire listeners about wealth creation through real estate and financial literacy, particularly for individuals over 50. Pastor Jenkins shared strategies for building generational wealth, shifting mindsets about money, and leveraging real estate as a primary tool for financial independence. Key Takeaways Intersection of Faith, Finance, and BusinessPastor Jenkins emphasizes that faith and financial success are not mutually exclusive. He advocates using biblical principles as a success manual, especially from Proverbs. Real Estate as “Low-Hanging Fruit” for WealthReal estate is one of the simplest and most effective ways to build wealth because land is finite and historically valuable. Mindset Over MoneyWealth building starts with changing beliefs about money. Many misconceptions learned in childhood or church need to be unlearned. Refire, Don’t RetireFor those over 50, Jenkins encourages leveraging life experience to create new income streams instead of slowing down. Social Security Reality CheckThe average Social Security check (~$1,400/month) is insufficient for most Americans, highlighting the need for personal wealth strategies. The SHIP Method Stewardship: Direct your money intentionally. Ownership: Own assets that appreciate and generate cash flow. Entrepreneurship: Consider business ownership as a wealth-building tool. Education Before ActionStart with learning—books, podcasts, seminars—before diving into real estate or other ventures. Community Wealth BuildingJenkins supports initiatives like “buying back the block” to revitalize neighborhoods and build collective wealth. Secrets to SuccessDesire, planning, education, and execution are essential. Dreams without plans remain dreams. Upcoming ResourcesJenkins is releasing a book: The Real Estate Wealth Creation Blueprint, offering practical steps for using real estate to build wealth. Notable Quotes “Real estate is the lowest hanging fruit on the wealth creation tree.” “People came here to work the land—now it’s time for us to own it.” “It’s not time to retire; it’s time to refire.” “Social Security was designed for a different era. You can’t live on $1,400 a month in America.” “The Bible is more than religion—it’s a success manual.” “If you don’t have a desire for wealth, we can talk all day and nothing will change.” “Stewardship, Ownership, Entrepreneurship—those are the pillars of wealth.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new year has arrived, and with it comes a fresh wave of hot takes, bold predictions, and "can't miss" investing ideas. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG step back from the noise to discuss what clearly doesn't work and then to focus on what actually helps you build wealth in 2026 and beyond. Rather than chasing hot trends, they revisit the timeless rules that have quietly done the heavy lifting through every market cycle. Why diversification still matters even when it feels boring. Why IPO hype and speculative real estate deals often disappoint. How consistency beats cleverness far more often than most people expect. From there, the conversation shifts into a practical framework Stackers can use no matter what the market throws their way. Joe and OG walk through the proper order of investing decisions: start with clear goals, build the right asset allocation, choose appropriate asset selections, and then layer in tax strategy. By putting taxes in the right place (after the big structural decisions), they explain how to improve outcomes without letting tax avoidance distort the entire plan. The episode also digs into real-world traps that tend to surface when uncertainty rises. Real estate crowdfunding. Penny stock temptation. Misunderstood property tax increases. The guys break down where people get tripped up and how to protect yourself without becoming overly cautious or frozen by fear. Just as important, Joe and OG explore the difference between luck and skill in investing stories. If you've ever felt behind because someone else's risky move worked out, this discussion brings perspective and relief by reminding Stackers what sustainable progress actually looks like. What You'll Learn: • Why timeless investing principles matter more than 2026 predictions • How diversification truly reduces risk and where people misuse it • The dangers of IPOs, penny stocks, and "exclusive" real estate deals • The correct order of smart investing decisions: goals first, asset allocation next, asset selection after that, tax strategy layered on last • How to think about tax efficiency without letting taxes drive the plan • What new homeowners often misunderstand about property taxes • How to spot luck masquerading as skill in investing success stories • Ways to stay confident and consistent when markets feel uncertain If you're looking to start 2026 grounded, informed, and focused on the moves that actually matter, this episode delivers a steady, practical roadmap without hype, fear, or shortcuts. Listen for the principles that hold up when markets misbehave and the small mistakes that quietly derail otherwise solid plans.

Today, we're diving into the powerful institution at the heart of the U.S. economy — the Federal Reserve — and uncovering how it influences and shapes inflation. On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, you're going to learn about the history of the Fed and how it became a powerful influence on the economy. You're going to learn about the Federal Reserve's main roles, its role in today's inflationary crisis, and much more.

Keith explores why the real goal of building wealth isn't luxury—it's protecting yourself from the emotional and practical pain of money stress.  You'll hear how owning the right kinds of assets can change your lifestyle options over time, and why waiting on the sidelines can quietly erode your financial future. Keith also pulls back the curtain on a major, often overlooked force that has helped keep real estate values resilient for years, and what that means for anyone thinking about adding more property to their portfolio.  Finally, you'll get a sense of the kinds of opportunities and strategies listeners are using right now to move from just getting by to playing to win in their wealth building journey.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:30   Welcome to GRE from Dar es Salaam Tanzania to Darlington, South Carolina, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education the voice of real estate investing since 2014 and it's a new year, part of the reason why you need to build durable wealth for yourself is actually not to be wealthy. It's really to avoid a lack of wealth. It's in order to pad yourself against poverty. Now, shortly, I want to talk to you more aspirationally if you are or soon plan to make 500k per year or more.    Keith Weinhold  2:15   But first, there are a number of studies that show that beyond a certain level, more wealth barely increases your happiness level. In fact, if you ask many people, they say that doubling their income or doubling their net worth is what they really want, like, that's their goal. Like, in their mind, that's the benchmark in which they've made it. And you know what, when they double their income, though, then they want to double it again. They think that that is the next benchmark. So there can be this endless amount of wanting, because once you've doubled, you just want to keep doubling. But what's really more important is padding against money problems, because if having a little more doesn't change your happiness much, well, it's poverty that can really diminish a level of happiness and fulfillment in your life. So money problems don't just hurt your wallet. They actually hurt your emotions. And this isn't just some motivational poster idea, the statistics are clear. Multiple studies show that when money is scarce, when paying the regular bills feels like a monthly street fight, people report more sadness, more worry and even depression, not just sometimes, but constantly. The reality is that about 71% of Americans say that money is a major source of stress. My gosh, more than seven out of 10. So that's not a fringe category. That's the norm that say money is a major source of stress. Another study found that 42% of adults say money negatively affects their mental health. So close to half of the people walking around you right now feel emotionally beat up by their financial situation, and the gap gets even wider when you compare groups, when people experience serious financial hardship, nearly half, 49% show signs of depression among people without any financial hardship, only about 11% of that group show signs of depression. And Northwestern Mutual did an extensive study on all this. So it's not just a small difference, it's a completely different emotional reality, almost like two separate worlds. To put it plainly. For you, money will not guarantee happiness, but a lack of money can absolutely fuel sadness, and this matters. Because financial confidence isn't just about dollars. It's about dignity. It's about feeling like you're able to breathe, and it's about believing that your future can be bigger than your past. I mean, the research also shows the relationship flows in both directions. Money stress can make mental health worse, and poor mental health can make financial decision making harder. So it's sort of this loop, this cycle. And what breaks the cycle? It's not luck. It's not hoping the economy magically fixes all of its problems. It is going on offense, taking steps that build security instead of surrender, for most people, that turning point comes when they start owning assets, not just paying bills. It comes when money stops being a source of fear and it starts being a tool. Because though we focus on real estate investing here at GRE but ultimately it is a lifestyle improvement show. And before we're done today, I'm going to talk about what you can actionably do to go on offense. Now, what if you already have a higher income, or you expect to make a high income in the near term, if you're earning roughly $500,000 per year or more, and you value time efficiency in making sure that you don't live a rough quality of life. You are on the threshold of a tier that helps ensure that you can avoid some misery. Yes, there is a step change here that can help ensure you have a higher standard of living. Do you know what I might be talking about? Any idea 500k of income is where it begins now. It's only beginning here. At this point, to make sense, where you tilt into starting to fly private instead of flying commercial. Yeah, private flights. Now your situation is going to depend on more than just the income. It's whether or not you're single or you have kids and more, but it's at this income level where you can start to cover a $10,000 flight without biting into your essential living expenses. It's most justifiable when your time savings or your productivity gains translate into real value. I'm talking about things like business deals, meetings and schedules and the benefits of flying privately are pretty significant. Time efficiency is the real superpower here, drive up to the plane, wheels up in minutes. The flexibility is there. You can leave pretty much when you want. You can change your flight plans mid trip if you need to. You get access to smaller airports. That means you can land closer to your final destination and skip big city traffic congestion. You've got privacy and security, no crowds, no TSA stuff. You've got quality of experience, comfort, quiet cabins, custom catering, no competing for overhead bin space. Now even affordable private is still pretty expensive. It is substantially more than first class commercial seats, and I have had limited experience flying private, but at 500k of income, flying private can still feel like a stretch, even though it's doable for you, a more comfortable range is a million dollars or more of annual income, that's when private flights feel much easier to justify for business or lifestyle. Now, with $2 million of annual income or more, most heavy private flyers live here in this range, the $2 million plus income level, they can charter, they can fractionally own, or they can use memberships, all with less stress. When you earn this much, and if you're ultra high net worth, we're talking about $5 million worth of income plus or $20 million worth of net worth plus, well, then private flying is really commonplace. This is where you often have a personal jet, concierge services and flexibility on demand. So as the first episode of the year here, I want to give you some opportunity to dream and goal set. Yeah, you need to stretch out and give space to your aspirations sometimes, and this is a good time to do that, really, though, a more important reason for increasing your income and net worth is that it helps you avoid the discomfort of poverty. But yeah, come on, if nothing else, can you believe that before every commercial flight you have to hear that nonsense about how to inflate a raft if you're. Plane crashes in the water, or you could use your seat as a personal flotation device. Come on your seat. Can't even support your back for a three hour flight. If there's ever been a reason to invest Well, it's so that you never have to hear that stuff again before every flight chase    Keith Weinhold  10:19   last week here on the show, you'll learn more about how stable real estate prices are, why prices have never crashed in your entire life, and also why they can't double in one year. Real Estate is too slow moving 30 days between you making your offer and you closing the deal, that's actually considered pretty fast. In fact, if national home prices ever crash, I will legally change my first name to Fabrice, yes, Fabrice, I would also do that if they doubled in a year. It is almost impossible for either of those things to happen. You learned about how these things have not happened in your entire lifetime on last week's show, yes, even in 2008 in the last 85 years, nominal home prices have risen every single year, except seven of them now. Why is that? Why are the prices of US housing so resilient and just keep going up up up, almost inexorably? Well, it's actually more than just the main well documented reasons that you know about and that we've talked about here. It's about more than these attributes, like population growth, household formation, wage growth, inflation, eroding the currency and land scarcity in desirable areas beyond all of those, one reason that home values just keep going up, up up and are expected to rise again this year is something that We have not discussed yet, and that is government intervention? Yes, in the US and a lot of world places, housing is not a free market. We have a free ish market that sort of comes with training wheels and support animals. Think about how the government helps ensure that home prices stay propped up even through most recessions. We're talking about attributes like ever expanding loan access and mortgage interest deductibility. Then there's depreciation in write offs for investors like us and property tax structures that lag market value when loans have lower down payment requirements or a lowering of credit score requirements and ever expanding loan limits in terms of dollar amounts, well, that increases the demand for those that have the capacity to pay, and it nudges up prices even more incentives, like deducting your mortgage interest in tax depreciation when you don't even have a real expense, but yet you get to write it off anyway. It all heaps on the government driven demand for real estate Now none of these individual things, these government interventions, raise prices overnight, they increase demand structurally. There's evidence that the government is doing even more in recent years to prop up housing demand than they have in the past. This is increasingly a propensity to not let housing fail like it did in 2008 I mean, just look at covid During 2020, and 2021, what a glaring example of how government will prop up home values and not let them fall down if you lost your job during covid. Oh, we'll give you mortgage loan forbearance. That's where you could skip. Oh, just say nine monthly payments, and then you can just tack those nine payments onto the end of your 30 year loan and make those payments decades from now. There was a foreclosure moratorium in effect then too, so you've got forbearance and low rates and stimulus checks and a ban on foreclosures. Well, all of that helped borrowers make payments, and that supported home price growth. There was no fire sailing, really, that could have taken place then, and you will recall that during that time period, in fact, the year 2021 national home prices soared 19% so housing is not a completely free market. You really don't have to look very far to know that. I mean, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are both still government sponsored and still in conservatorship. And here's the thing, so far, I've only talked about how government has propped up the demand side. Side of the market. I've only talked about half of it. Don't forget the sometimes unintentional supply restriction the governments induce as well keeping housing supply in check. Well, that helps drive price appreciation. I'm talking about the zoning spaghetti that new homebuilders have to navigate through the permit purgatory, minimum lot sizes that can seem larger than some European countries, environmental reviews that last longer than the movie Avengers. Endgame was that a three hour, two minute movie, all of these roadblocks limit new housing supply that makes it harder to build. So governments provide an ever present tailwind to housing values by both boosting demand and by crimping supply. Government amplifies these forces, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally, but the result is the same propping up housing values. If all these years since coming out of the Great Recession have shown us anything, and the 2020 pandemic reinforced it, it is to either own assets or get left behind. You've got to own assets or you will be left behind, and that's whether you're trying to stay away from poverty, like I talked about at the top of the show, or whether you're aiming to fly private instead of commercial, something more aspirational, really. That's the lesson I've got more straight ahead here. There will only ever be one get rich education podcast episode 587 and you're listening to it.    Keith Weinhold  16:43   You know, most people think they're playing it safe with their liquid money, but they're actually losing savings accounts and bonds don't keep up when true inflation eats six or 7% of your wealth.

Listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream. You Keith,   Keith Weinhold  18:45   welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, we're talking about new angles with respect to how the future belongs to asset owners. Every year, people say, This is my year, but only a few actually take the action to back that up and make it come true. One thing that I've learned is that people love saying, I want an opportunity, but what they really want is certainty. Unfortunately, certainty only shows up after opportunity is gone. History is full of people who walked past moments like this now owning more of an asset like real estate today, and instead they just look and say, Oh, it's probably nothing. Well, what about alternatives? What's your employer's plan for you? I mean, really, what's a typical employer's plan for employees spend 40 years here at this desk, and I guarantee that you'll become moderately comfortable with a nice 401K balance that you can start withdrawing from by the time you're age 65 at which time you'll start paying taxes on it too. So really, that's it. That's their plan for you. Yes, that's their plan for you. Though, as you know, I do not forecast mortgage rates. No one, not one analyst or rating agency, expects mortgage rates to fall substantially any time soon as we look at the real estate landscape, in fact, among 21 different major research groups, which include PNC Bank, Redfin, Moody's, wells, Fargo, the NAR totality, if you average what their forecasts are, one year from now, mortgage rates are expected to be at the same level that they are today, which is about 6.2% if you want to add more assets, prices are probably only going to be higher one year from now. The Fed is involved in QE like behavior again, which resumed last month, that gives the effect of more money printing, and it provides an environment for a continued price run up across not just real estate, but nearly every asset class. Current CPI inflation is 2.7% and long term inflation expectations are elevated. The Fed is cutting rates. The current Fed funds rate is about 3.6% and the President wants the Fed funds rate cut to 1% central banks are stockpiling gold, and the US dollar just had its worst year since 2017 so a lot is lining up to keep supporting housing values. Now, when we zoom out, starting back in 2012 us home prices have now risen 14 years in a row, and the average annual gain since that time is about 6% which is sustainable and close to historic norms. Year after year. Some people keep waiting for the right moment, and meanwhile, the right moment just keeps passing them by. And look, now here's a really interesting way for you to look at things from a long time investor like me, I have bought a wide variety of investment real estate over the years. I bought single family homes to both live in and single family homes to rent out vacant land, agricultural parcels, small apartment buildings and larger apartment buildings on every single one at the time when I purchased it, it was the most that anyone had ever paid for that property in that property's history, and if there were bids and I ended up getting the property, then I was the highest bidder as well. So on. Effectively, every single property purchase of my life, I paid more than anyone ever. And if someone had no understanding of the real estate market. They might think that that sounded bad, like I executed with a poor strategy or a lack of experience or direction, but that's just usually how it works in real estate, with the incessant postulation of almost unceasing appreciation and inflation, and years later, when it was time for me to sell the property, what were those conditions like? What happened then? You guessed it, I sold it for the most that it had ever sold for. So for that next buyer, that was the most then that anyone had ever paid for the property in history, yet again, and if it was a bidding situation, chances are I sold it to the highest bidder. So therefore, that has nothing to do with luck, that has nothing to do with timing, that is simply being an active participant in the real estate market and enjoying the leverage and all the other benefits all the while. So history shows that trying to time things based on market conditions or what you think market conditions are going to be, that does not work. What does work is owning more assets sooner. Every property that you purchase, expect to pay more for it than anyone ever has in that property's history. And then every property that you sell down the road, expect that you're going to sell it for more than what anyone has ever sold it for. Historically, that is normal. Now if your net worth is below $1 million or even below $5 million you really can't play the game not to lose. That's what keeps people stuck. You've got to play to win. The world already has your money. If you want access to it, you have simply got to go out. Out and get it. You play offense now, and you can play defense later, when your financial position is where you want it really and here's a huge insight, more money is lost trying to avoid a downturn than is lost actually being in the market when one finally happens, like I've discussed lately, real estate price downturns are uncommon. Sitting out and waiting is a wealth killer, because even if a downturn does happen, well, if you're already invested, you are positioned for the upturn. You're going to get the full measure of the upturn. That's where the real gains are, and this is where real estate is different. Leverage just keeps working for you. In the background, your 401, k does not do that. There's no leverage beyond maybe a two to one employer match, and then you get taxed when you finally touch the money. Some people like to gamble a little play a prediction market like poly market. Have something in Bitcoin, maybe even have exposure to a risky altcoin. I guess the NFL playoffs start this coming weekend. Some people want to bet on that and have their fun. Maybe even be invested in a high flying tech stock, or even the sp500. These vehicles rarely build wealth when you're actually young enough to enjoy it, because you're probably unleveraged there, you're exposed. You've only got your dollars working for you, not others, and you sure can do some of that day to day stuff. Go on polymarket and bet on when man will first land on Mars or something. Have your fun while the real wealth is built by the quiet, slow moving leverage of your larger real estate portfolio. In the background. Real estate, you can put 20 to 25% down on a 200k income property and control the whole thing. That's what investors are doing with our GRE marketplace properties right now, often in a low cost market like, say, Kansas City or Memphis, say that, for example, you're looking to add four doors this year, four rental units. Now that might take the form of one duplex and two new build Florida single family rentals. Now, with about 250k you can control $1 million of property adding assets this year. And here at GRE our nationwide provider network connects you with the real deals, and our providers often tell us about them before the public knows, for example, the properties where the builder still in this environment buys your rate down to perhaps four and a half percent. That is still happening. And why do the properties that our GRE investment coaches connect you with seem like such good deals at times? Well, there's a few reasons for that. Investor advantage markets just intrinsically have low prices. There's no agent that you have to compensate. It's a direct model that keeps the price down. These providers provide homes in bulk that helps keep the price down. And since we're dealing with investment properties, income producing properties, there are not any of these owner occupied emotions, so you don't get unreasonable sellers that hold out for a high price because there's some sentimental attachment there, or something like that.    Keith Weinhold  28:38   Let me give you three examples of real properties that our GRE investment coaching helps connect you with right now, and this is the place to be entry level homes, because entry level homes are few long term you are going to own a scarce asset that everybody wants. The first one is a brand new build single family rental in Cullman, Alabama. That's right between Birmingham and Huntsville, booming Huntsville. Now this property is currently vacant. However, it's in an A class neighborhood, so good appreciation potential, but less cash flow on this one, the rent is $2,100 the purchase price is 317k Yes, just 317k for this five bed, three bath, 2500 square foot rental, single family home. That's new build. One advantage Alabama has, and why we often have available Alabama properties is that really low property tax in that state you're going to benefit from a low fixed expense ratio over the long term. Alabama, property taxes are well under 1% per year as a percentage of the property value. In fact, at less than 410 Tax of 1% Alabama has the lowest property taxes in the entire continental United States. Only Hawaii has a lower one, where you're going to find a national average of 1% or a little more than 1% the second property is also brand new construction. It is a duplex in Goddard, Kansas, which is outside Wichita, each side of the duplex has three beds, two baths and 1300 68 square feet combined. Rents both sides are $3,500 and the purchase price is 447k and it is leased. Both sides are rented out. You can contact our free investment coaching and scoop up this or one like it today, and I'm looking at pictures of this really good looking new build duplex in the Wichita area. Looks like a two car garage on both sides, really attractive. And again, on these new builds, oftentimes the homebuilder is still buying down your mortgage rate for you, often under 5% the last one I'll mention, and I'm just giving you three samples to help give you an idea here. And if you're listening to this in a few years, you'll probably wish you could purchase these at prices this low. This last one is not new builds. Unfortunately, I can't quickly find the year of construction, but it looks older. It is a Kansas City single family rental, fully renovated. The cash flow numbers are super attractive. $2,100 rent on a purchase price of just $227,500 and free property management for two years is offered here on this renovated Kansas single family rental. Our investment coaching can answer questions about it for you. When something's renovated, you definitely want to see what the scope of work is. And there are also larger properties available. If you're looking to trade up some of your properties with accumulated equity into something else, we can help build an entire portfolio for you, or you might currently be only invested in one market, where we can help you determine what second market might make sense for you based on your time horizon and your own goals. Hey, maybe you've got a private plane in a decade kind of goal, or maybe we'll help you find out that adding more property does not make sense for you at this time in your situation, even though the opportunities are pretty good right now, because compared to two years ago, the inventory to select from is wider today, And the mortgage rates are lower now too GRE investment coaches are your free trusted advisors. It's like having a silent partner on your deal, someone who gives you insight but doesn't take any equity. There's no compensation for you to provide at all. It's about your portfolio, your goals and your direction. And our coaches also help you with services related to managing your real estate assets long term, like your tax and CPA questions, legal questions, though, that's pretty limited, because we're not attorneys here. For example, what happens if you have an appraisal surprise and the appraisal comes in lower than the amount that you've contracted to buy a property for, we help you with something like that, any inventory issues or inspection issues and property management guidance that you might need. In fact, if you've engaged with our free investment coaching in the past, even a few years ago, and we helped you find a property and say, now you have some sort of property management issue. Let us know. Keep in touch with your GRE investment coach. You tell someone like Naresh here, and he will step in. And when you set up a time to chat, which you can do at greinvestmentcoach.com There's really nothing special that you need to do to prepare if you can bring a 20% down payment. Now the ball is already rolling, and in today's environment with closing costs, that's usually about a 50k minimum. It helps if you're pre approved for a mortgage loan with Ridge lending group, or whomever your lender of choice is. What's interesting is that these deals are good. These are real estate pays five ways, properties that our coaches help connect you with. So sometimes we are buying these properties ourselves here at GRE. We have in the past, but there is no way we can buy them all, not even close. That means that an opportunity remains for you. Yes, we are real estate investors ourselves here at GRE, right now, there are better properties available than ones that we've bought ourselves recently, and there is more overall selection too. You can easily see the coach's calendar, select a time and then have a phone call or a zoom chat, whatever you like. If. From there. Our coaches usually give you their phone number, so then later, you can even text them. Our coach, Naresh, he responded to someone on Thanksgiving. That's the level of dedication here. So here's the next step. Book a time at GREinvestmentcoach.com you can do that now. That's where the calendar lives. There's no back and forth. Just pick a time right there that works. It's Free. Select a 30 minute time slot, and lately they've been available seven days a week. And you're going to walk away with clarity on your goals, your timeline and what's realistic for you, if you're tired of watching from the sidelines, tired of trying not to lose, tired of waiting for perfect conditions, and conditions are never perfect, well, this is your moment to play to win. It's pretty easy to remember to connect with a GRE investment coach. Visit greinvestmentcoach.com Until next week, I'm your host.

Imagine walking away from a $200k salary to bet on a gap in the real estate market. That's exactly what Jesse Vasquez did. Today, his portfolio generates over $2.1 million annually by focusing on the "Mid-Term Rental" (MTR) strategy—a sweet spot between long-term leasing and high-turnover Airbnbs.In this episode of UpFlip, Jesse reveals how MTRs generate 3-5x the cash flow of traditional rentals. Whether you have zero properties or a full portfolio, Jesse breaks down how to secure contracts with hospitals, insurance companies, and construction firms to keep your units booked for months at a time.In this episode, you'll learn:The MTR Goldmine: Why 30-day stays (mid-term rentals) are the most stable and profitable niche in real estate today.The "Lead Connector" Model: How to earn 10% referral fees by simply connecting companies to landlords—without owning or renting anything yourself.Rental Arbitrage 101: How Jesse rents homes for $3,000 and legally subleases them to corporations for $10,000.The "Extended Stay" Hack: A guerrilla marketing tactic where you drive by hotels to spot out-of-state work trucks and steal their corporate contracts.The Indeed & LinkedIn Strategy: A step-by-step workflow to find travel nurse recruiters on job boards and DM them to secure direct bookings.Insurance Housing Secrets: Why insurance companies pay 3-5x market rates to house displaced families and how to get on their radar.Reverse Engineering Demand: How to use Furnished Finder and Airbnb not to list, but to research exactly which companies are sending employees to your city.The Perfect Pitch: The exact "money-saving" script Jesse uses when cold-calling HR departments.Essential Amenities: The under-$100 upgrades (like blackout curtains and noise machines) that are non-negotiable for night-shift nurses.The Empathy Edge: Why focusing on the human element—like a family needing a dinner table after a fire—will skyrocket your business faster than focusing on ROI.Timestamps(00:00) Intro: From "Golden Handcuffs" to $170k/Month(04:30) The "Foot in the Door" Moment: Landing the First Contract(08:45) How to Identify the Best Properties for MTR(16:20) Rental Arbitrage: Making Money Without Owning Homes(21:00) How to Find Leads (The "Extended Stay" & Indeed Method)(27:15) The Fan Blitz: Best Upgrades & Mistakes to AvoidTags: Property Management, Entrepreneurship, Passive Income, Real Estate, Mid Term Rental, Rental Arbitrage, Insurance Housing, Jesse VasquezResources:Grow your mid-term rental business today:  https://www.upflip.com/course/the-mid-term-rental-blueprint Connect with Jesse: https://www.instagram.com/therealjessevasquez/

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Pastor Dexter Jenkins. Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to educate and inspire listeners about wealth creation through real estate and financial literacy, particularly for individuals over 50. Pastor Jenkins shared strategies for building generational wealth, shifting mindsets about money, and leveraging real estate as a primary tool for financial independence. Key Takeaways Intersection of Faith, Finance, and BusinessPastor Jenkins emphasizes that faith and financial success are not mutually exclusive. He advocates using biblical principles as a success manual, especially from Proverbs. Real Estate as “Low-Hanging Fruit” for WealthReal estate is one of the simplest and most effective ways to build wealth because land is finite and historically valuable. Mindset Over MoneyWealth building starts with changing beliefs about money. Many misconceptions learned in childhood or church need to be unlearned. Refire, Don’t RetireFor those over 50, Jenkins encourages leveraging life experience to create new income streams instead of slowing down. Social Security Reality CheckThe average Social Security check (~$1,400/month) is insufficient for most Americans, highlighting the need for personal wealth strategies. The SHIP Method Stewardship: Direct your money intentionally. Ownership: Own assets that appreciate and generate cash flow. Entrepreneurship: Consider business ownership as a wealth-building tool. Education Before ActionStart with learning—books, podcasts, seminars—before diving into real estate or other ventures. Community Wealth BuildingJenkins supports initiatives like “buying back the block” to revitalize neighborhoods and build collective wealth. Secrets to SuccessDesire, planning, education, and execution are essential. Dreams without plans remain dreams. Upcoming ResourcesJenkins is releasing a book: The Real Estate Wealth Creation Blueprint, offering practical steps for using real estate to build wealth. Notable Quotes “Real estate is the lowest hanging fruit on the wealth creation tree.” “People came here to work the land—now it’s time for us to own it.” “It’s not time to retire; it’s time to refire.” “Social Security was designed for a different era. You can’t live on $1,400 a month in America.” “The Bible is more than religion—it’s a success manual.” “If you don’t have a desire for wealth, we can talk all day and nothing will change.” “Stewardship, Ownership, Entrepreneurship—those are the pillars of wealth.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ted and Owen recap a goal-planning lunch session featuring Brandon Turner, Collin Schwartz, and Vince Gettings (Titan Group), and get real about what actually works when setting goals: process goals vs. outcome goals. Because “lose 20 pounds” isn't a plan—it's a wish. Ted breaks down his approach: start with the big vision, then work it down into 90-day goals, monthly targets, weekly priorities, and daily “rocks” that keep momentum moving even when life gets chaotic.They also hit the constant entrepreneur tug-of-war: building what you love (community, podcast, events) vs. building what pays the bills—plus why some “loss leader” work can still be worth it if it fuels the bigger mission. They wrap with what's coming next, including the REIA Mastery Series event on January 16 with five keynote speakers, a full-day format, and 6 Nebraska real estate CE credit hours for licensed agents. The episode closes with a preview of an upcoming interview with local investor and business owner Jay Miralles—the kind of convo that would've gone two hours if they didn't have a hard stop.If you keep saying, “I can't delegate because training takes too long,” start screen-recording what you do (and why you do it).

In this episode, Travis and his producer dig into a deceptively simple question: is owning rental properties actually worth the headache? They cover single family vs. multifamily, house hacking, and Travis's own real estate regrets to help listeners decide whether rentals fit their wealth-building plan.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Travis still believes single-family rentals are worth it—especially for beginners—despite the horror stories and extra management work The difference between buying a simple single-family home and taking on a multifamily deal that behaves more like running a small hotel than owning a house How incentives shape advice: why many multifamily syndicators are financially motivated to downplay single-family investing House hacking strategies for young investors (owner-occupied FHA loans, duplexes/4-plexes, living in one unit, and letting tenants cover your mortgage) Hard-earned lessons from Travis's past sales—how selling too soon and thinking short term cost him six figures in long-term equity and cash flow Top 3 Takeaways Single-family rentals and small multifamily properties are still powerful wealth-building tools, but you need to treat them like a real business with real risk—not like an HGTV side project. “Don't wait to buy real estate; buy real estate and wait” holds up over time—if someone else is covering your mortgage, holding long term usually beats trying to time the market. The best move for young, unencumbered investors is often house hacking: live cheaply (or free), let tenants pay down your loan, and stack properties instead of selling them at the first sign of short-term profit. Notable Quotes “Buying a multifamily deal is more similar to buying a hotel than buying a house that just cash flows passively on the side.” “You can't plan your life around being the exception; plan around the rule that real estate rewards patience.” “Don't wait to buy real estate—buy real estate and wait.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Most real estate investors focus on rent increases, but the hidden metric that drives apartment profits is tenant renewal rate. In this Strategy Saturday episode, Charles Carillo breaks down what tenant renewal rate is, how to calculate it, and why tenant retention often matters more than raising rents. With the average U.S. apartment renewal rate sitting around 54%, tenant turnover is quietly costing owners thousands per unit each year. You'll learn: What tenant renewal rate means in multifamily investing How tenant retention directly increases NOI Why tenant turnover often costs more than $5,000 per unit How renewal rates signal asset health to buyers and investors The key factors that influence whether tenants stay or leave Understanding your property's renewal rate and improving it year over year, is one of the most effective ways to create long-term value in multifamily real estate.
