Gavin Timms and Don Costa, co-hosts of Coffee With Closers Live, are here with us today to talk about how Don got started in real estate investing, how he overcame a massive loss when the markets crashed in 2008, and how he rebuilt into one of the biggest investing businesses in the country.For Don, the epiphany came when he hit rock bottom. He had to really take a hard look at how he was doing things, realize that there was a better way, and start over. He also realized that it was important to surround himself with like-minded people. Not only did they have valuable experience that he could learn from, but they helped keep him accountable and on track with his goals.That's what a good mastermind program should be. It should feel like a community, a place where you can bounce ideas off of people and get different perspectives on things. That's why Gavin created the REI Network.To learn more and get involved in our program yourself, go to REInetwork.com/join.What's Inside:—A discussion with industry giant Don Costa.—Look at the big issues: don't get lost in the pebbles.—The importance of community.—Why and how you should choose a mastermind program.

As we say in every podcast episode of the Old Dawg's REI Network, “Cash flow is King!” But we don't just buy for cash flow.  We buy in emerging markets where prices are going up.  In today's podcast, Bill looks at the benefits of of buying for both cash flow and equity on all your rental properties.

The ability to travel and work from the road is one of my favorite things about this business, but it's not always easy or smooth. It's been a crazy week. Would you believe it if I told you I've had 5 different coaching calls in 5 different states in the last 7 days? It's amazing. Today I'm in my RV in Michigan to talk about some crazy situations with the bank as we purchased our lake house and give you some advice I learned along the way. So we were getting ready to close on our Michigan lake house when we ran into funding issues. I really thought I was prepared for any problems that might arise, but I did run into issues. Through this story, I've got advice for you that can help you avoid what happened to me.Use a local bank. If your normal bank is located where you are buying your property, I highly recommend going through a local bank. They are smaller and can get things done quicker. As opposed to major companies like Chase or Wells Fargo, they're great banks but they have so many clients things can move really slow. Build Relationships. Being a people person and creating relationships with the people you're working with goes a really long way. When you're friendly and initiate that relationship, they are more inclined to go above and beyond to help you with anything.Finally, be persistent. If you get a no, remember it's a no for that person only. There is almost always a way around. Be persistent, keep trying, keep calling. Stay on the phone until you get that person who can give you a yes. I hope you found these tips and this story useful. I hope to hear from you on any platform about what you're taking away from this show soon!What's Inside:The benefits of utilizing virtual business.On the road as a real estate investor.How I worked past funding issues on our Michigan lake house.Big tips for real estate investors.

Partnerships are key to success in real estate investing.If you've listened to Gavin talk before, you've probably heard him say it a million times. He's never done a single deal by himself. He always works with a partner. So today, he's going to tell you all about how to find partners, what to look for in a potential partner, and how to take all this information and use it yourself.First of all, you need to find someone who is in line with your core business values. What are your goals for the business? Find someone who wants the same things. For Gavin, it's all about working on the business, not in the business, so you need to find someone who is going to help you accomplish this.Don't waste your time trying to partner with someone who is doing 10 deals a month. They aren't going to have time to work on your deals. At the same time, you don't want to partner with someone who is completely new to real estate and hasn't taken a class or read a book. You want to find someone who is trying to grow and expand but has a solid base to start from.There are a lot of good sources online to find wholesalers to partner with. Facebook groups, meetup.com, and Craigslist can all be a great way to meet a potential partner. Also, if you have good relationships with cash buyers, realtors, and property managers, you can ask them. They not only know wholesalers looking to grow, but they might want to partner up with you themselves.At the end of the day, it's all about networking and relationships. To join Gavin and the REI Network, go to REInetwork.com/join.What's Inside:—Collaboration is key.—What to look for in a potential partner.—Your goals must be aligned. —Partner with someone on the same level as you.—Where to find a partner.

Bill Manassero (pronounced  “MANNA+ SARROW”) is the host and top dog of The Old Dawg's REI Network, a blog and weekly podcast for people 50 years and older who are using real estate investing as a means to fund their retirement years and create a legacy for their children and grandchildren.  Prior to forming the Old Dawg's REI Network, Bill and his family were missionaries to orphaned, abandoned and at-risk children living on the streets of Port-au-Prince Haiti. Prior to Haiti, he was a professional musician and, prior to that spent over 20 years in business on the corporate and entrepreneur side.  

Hello guys, welcome back to the REI Network podcast. Today, I'm going to be talking about something that isn't very exciting, but makes all the difference when it comes to making deals. That something is follow-up.Now, I know following up with sellers tends to be the least exciting part of the whole process, but I'm here today to tell you that over 90% of my deals only happen because I do the follow-up as I should. Remember, when you make an offer and a seller says “No,” what they're really saying is “no, not yet.” By going back to those sellers after 30, 45, 60 days and checking back in, you'll already have a relationship built when they decide that they are ready.The vast majority of deals don't happen with just one phone call. Remember, the profit is in the follow-up! But when, and how?Well, the first question is a little tricky. There really is no set answer for the best time or how often to reach back out to a seller. It really all depends on the property and the situation. If it's a hot lead, follow up within the week. Colder deals can wait longer, even a few months.The trick is to set tasks, update them, and take good notes. That way, if it's your VA reaching out instead of you, they know the situation. They know the questions to ask. Communicating with sellers is all about building a rapport, and good notes are the key to doing that. Again, not exciting, but crucial to success!If you want to learn more or partner with us on some deals, go to REInetwork.com/joinWhat's Inside:“No” just means “Not yet”.The profit is in follow up.How to use your CRM to help build rapport with sellers.Tips for using automation.

There is no such thing as “too early” when it comes to planning for retirement, but what do we do when it feels like we're “too late”? Regardless of if you are in your twenties and new to the investment scene, or fifty and looking to retire more comfortably beyond the means of your current savings, investing in things like real estate can help you fund your retirement and create a legacy for your children and grandchildren at any age. Bill Manassero, founder and host of The Old Dawg's REI Network, has dedicated his efforts to helping people aged fifty and older determine what the best strategies and investments are for them. His background, from musician to missionary in Haiti to over twenty years of experience in business, corporate, and entrepreneurship has enabled him to create a space for seniors and retirees to learn about the power of investing and growing wealth through his blog posts and a weekly podcast. Bill's current goal as a real estate investor is to own/control 1,000 units/doors in less than six years, and as he sits down with CamaPlan to discuss his journey, hear about how his goals have guided him through all stages of life and have allowed him to help others form goals of their own.

Having a mentor, reading the books, listening to podcasts…it's all great, but at some point, you need to take the plunge. Today's guest jumped into larger multi-family with a 22-unit class C building in Indianapolis for $350,000 and he did it all the way from Orange County CA. Since then, Bill Manassero has launched the Old Dawg's REI Network - a real estate blog, newsletter and podcast. Bill is also the founder of Manaserro Properties, a Real Estate syndicator of multifamily properties and developer of senior living communities.

How can you actually network in a post-pandemic world? Some in-person events are coming back in certain parts of the country, but virtual networking is still more common. It’s time to put down your excuses and jump into networking.For in-person networking, I recommend:Don’t talk to your close friends at these events.Do talk to the oldest member of the group.Do create win-win scenarios for anyone you approach.For virtual meetups, whether you’re in a Facebook group, a forum or a webinar, you can start networking in there. Provide value in the conversations that people are having, start DMing people, connect with them, and then move to phone conversations to continue building that relationship.If your real estate business is feeling a little stagnant, I challenge you to pick up the phone and network with three new people a day. Whether that’s a cash buyer, a lender, mortgage broker, Realtor, or other wholesalers, every time you create connections with other people in the business, you extend your influence too.I’m so passionate about this topic that I named my business REI Network. If you’re ready to expand the size of your network, let’s connect.What's Inside:How to create your very own VIP buyers who will buy nearly every property you have.Collaboration is my whole model because you don’t need to go it alone.If you want to expand your network, take part in my networking challenge that will dramatically increase your circle of influence.

Bill Manassero and his family are an example of how helping the community is rewarding for the soul. In this episode of Reach Radio, Fran interviews Bill about his experiences in Haiti and what he is currently doing with Old Dawg's REI Network. Bill recalls the time he went to Haiti and his daughter instantly felt at home. This was the start of it all, the Manassero Family would then move to Haiti to start a non-profit organization. When the 2010 earthquake hit the island, Bill recalls it was devastating but miracles started happening and they made it through. Now, Bill is working for senior communities after taking care of his wife's parents.

Your first real estate check, no matter how big or small it is, is going to be the sweetest check you’ll ever cash. When Gavin closed his first deal and got a $1500 check, it wasn’t the amount that he loved. It was the confirmation that wholesaling could absolutely work for him.After Cornelius realized that he was completely priced out of his local market, he tried to branch out. But he just wasn’t getting the return on his marketing dollars to justify the money he was pouring into his business. Plus, he was trying to work around the edges of his already full life and he just couldn’t stay up on his leads consistently.Gavin and I get it. It’s hard to build a real estate business when you have a family and a full-time job. That’s why we love the virtual wholesaling business.Hear how Cornelius networked within our Facebook group to plug in the right players into his new and improved business system. In just under two months, he had a breakthrough that landed him 2 signed contracts and 2 in escrow. But the biggest win is how much his mindset has improved from “Maybe I can do this” to “Yes! This absolutely works!”.If you’re ready to build out a system that can be done even while you work full-time, or you just need a mentor to get you pointed in the right direction, let’s connect at REI Network and see if we’d be a good fit for you.What's Inside:—Networking within my Facebook group helped Cornelius build up his boots-on-the-ground operation.—Is it your VA or your marketing that’s serving up poor leads to follow up on?—The one thing that might be better than following up: Consistency.

The first few times that Gavin got on a coaching call with Steve and Coco, he could see that Steve was really not into real estate investing. He was just depressed because he couldn’t see how it could ever possibly work for him. The problem for Steve, and it’s the same way for a lot of investors, is that he hadn’t built a real estate system that worked for what he was best at.For most of 2019, Gavin worked with Steve and Coco to help them build a system heavily supported by VAs that moved anything tech-related off of Steve’s plate. If you put Steve on the phone, he can talk to anyone and get their life story out of them. But if you put Steve in front of a computer, he might accidentally break it.By 2020, Steve and Coco were able to build out three teams, and only a month into 2021, they’ve been able to close 5 contracts. Gavin’s strategy as a coach was to find out how to support Steve and Coco so that they could focus on what they do best: talk to sellers.No matter how discouraged he got, Coco reminded Steve that the next “No” could be a “Yes”. If you’re ready for a coach to help you build a system that minimizes your weaknesses, contact us through REI Network, and let’s see if we’d be a good fit.Do you need a wholesaler in the Ohio area? Send an email to Steve and Coco at CCBPropertySolutions@gmail.com. They’d love to talk to you. What's Inside:—Building a customizable system has let Steve sidestep his greatest weakness: anything tech-related.—How Steve and Coco use an admin VA to keep their teams running smoothly.—The team that Steve and Coco have built around themselves makes it possible for them to help out with their grandchildren and sometimes catch a round of golf.

A few highlights of his career include meeting Ronald Reagan, working with actor Jimmy Stewart, being interviewed by Oprah, and having CNN produce a documentary on his work in Haiti entitled “Rescued.” Bill's story is absolutely fascinating and we dive in by discussing his 25 years of business background, which included working in sales and marketing in the automotive and airline industries in Southern California, launching the Nissan infinity division, and then moving on to the technology sector right as the internet took off. At that time, he even bumped into Mark Cuban who was streaming a variety of games via mics in front of radios. Shortly after the bubble burst and Bill felt called to get into ministry. He always enjoyed traveling but usually, that was for work and meant being away from his family – so what better way to take the family on the road with you – as a family rock band! They partnered with Christian organizations and toured together. During this time, they sponsored a child from Haiti and his daughter became obsessed with learning about the country. Little did they know that soon enough they would be visiting Haiti to perform. The trip had a profound impact not just on Bill's daughter, but the whole family, and Haiti eventually became their new home. They sold everything they owned in the US and returned to Haiti to take care of the kids. Initially, they of course had no idea what they were doing and where to start, but eventually, their efforts grew into an entire organization, Child Hope International, and they invested first in a boy's home, then a girl's home, and then a guest house, and even a school. After being struck by a devastating earthquake, Haiti was in the news across the globe which resulted in Oprah visiting and CNN producing a documentary entitled ‘Rescued' which was all about their efforts. Slowly Bill's children had grown up and started to return to the US to go to university and Bill's wife was diagnosed with cancer. So, jointly they made the decision to pass Child Hope International to the next generation and make plans to return to the US together. This left Bill wondering what to do next with his life. He knew he wanted to diversify his investments before retirement, but he wasn't sure how. After an extensive period of research and reading Rich Dad Poor Dad among other books, Bill had established that real estate investing was the route to go down. He did as much research as he could to develop his plan. He decided to focus on turn-key properties and settled on Atlanta and Memphis as the first areas to make a purchase. After a short trip to both locations, he returned with 3 properties to call his own. Like us all, Bill was learning as he was going along. Some properties were making more money than others and property management turned out to be challenging at times. At last, Bill got himself a mentor who recommended starting a podcast to share his experience of real estate investing for retirement – and after some initial resistance, he went for it. The podcast has over time provided Bill with a large amount of networking opportunities which has certainly helped to open more doors for him in the industry. Bill then shares that he did have the 1000 doors goal and he had reached a staggering 736 doors on the day of recording this episode – a real surprise seeing what a humble person Bill is. Bill shared further that the contacts he was gaining from networking allowed him to do larger projects, which is what got him closer to his 1000 door goal. We then move on to discuss property management. Bill outsources the property management entirely to others. He doesn't really have a choice in this matter since a lot of his properties are not exactly in his backyard. Over the years he realized that the biggest factor for him when recruiting property managers is transparency. Bill also briefly shares his experience with short-term rentals. He has three that are doing really well in this market. Bill was initially affected by COVID-related cancellations but then managed to recover very quickly through a few changes in his marketing language. We then discuss his current projects and what he feels particularly excited about. Bill shares how he has recently gotten into the senior living sector through a contact of his and what the construction of these new senior living facilities involves. These projects are having Bill engage in aspects of the business he has not previously considered, so this goes to show that there is always something new to experiment with.

When what might’ve seemed like a good deal suddenly looks like a terrible deal, how do you renegotiate to regain your advantage? Chris Arnold, one of our coaching students, found himself stuck on a recent deal when the condition of the house told a different story after he’d already agreed on a price.If you’ve given yourself enough breathing room to account for a change in the condition of a home, then negotiating a more fair price isn’t too hard. But what if you just can’t agree to meet in the middle? And what if your seller is bulldozing your best efforts? I talk with Chris about how to start from a position of strength.When you have to reconsider because of one of the 3 Rs, resale value, repairs, and rents, it’s important for you to come to the table with solid numbers. And if you get into a heated disagreement over the price, relying on the numbers can protect your reputation as well.Listen carefully to how Chris and I break down where the negotiations could’ve gone bad, and my tips for how he could do better next time. It can be easy to get carried away in the back and forth of a conversation, especially when there’s a lot of money on the line. But you really want to protect your relationships while also protecting your profits. You’re running a business after all.Practicing with a coach can help you smooth out the edges of your negotiating techniques. I hope listening to this exchange helps you see how you can renegotiate so that you keep your cool while maximizing your profits. If you’re interested in working with me, get in touch through the REI Network website.What's Inside:What's Inside:—One of the best negotiating techniques that will help you reset the energy in the conversation.—I roleplay with Chris, one of my coaching clients, about a recent deal that almost fell through.—By building rapport, you can walk away from a deal without burning a bridge.—The number one, most important tip I have for you today.

When people understand what makes real estate work, that’s when the magic starts to happen. After Melissa got dragged into real estate by her husband Carey, she ended up being the marketing person for their operation. And because of her persistence in following-up on leads, I knew I had to partner with her. Melissa just gets what real estate is all about!I’m a systems-oriented person, and that’s what I bring to the table as a real estate coach. I help my clients create a system that lets them scale in a way that brings them more leads, more deals, and more money. When I started working with Melissa, she was making two or three thousand dollars a deal, and she just thought that she’d made it. I helped her shift her mindset so that she could start making ten to fifteen thousand a deal, and living her dream life in Florida.We can’t stamp our authority on the market we’re doing business in. I share my philosophy for how to adapt to the ever-changing predictions we’re constantly getting as we deal with the pandemic. And despite all of the uncertainty that so many of us have experienced, Melissa and Carey have made $100,000, and they’re going to tell you how.I firmly believe that you’re only as good as your network. Listen to how Melissa and Carey combined their strengths, outsourced their weaknesses, and built real relationships that have helped carry them through the pandemic. Pay attention to what you really need to be paying attention to so that you can succeed through uncertainty.If you’re looking for a real estate coach, fill out the form on my REI Network site, and I’d love to see if we’re a good fit to work together.What's Inside:What's Inside:—The number one thing to do that will help you close leads.—Why you’re only as good as your team.—How Melissa and Carey have outsourced their weaknesses.—Why you should stop worrying about what’s happening and what you should really pay attention to.

Bill Manaserro tells his incredible life story which begins with him getting elected to public office at age 18, becoming a corporate VP by age 21, then becoming an entrepreneur, gravitating into the tech space, getting hired by one of Meg Whitman's companies, and then losing it all when the tech bubble burst in the late 90s. Bill had 5 kids at the time and decided to make a major life pivot, become a professional musician, and travel the world long term with his wife and kids. Homeschooling his kids and teaching them life lessons through travel, Bill shares what life was like for his family as itinerant nomads for over 3 years before moving to Haiti where they would be based for the next 12 years. Bill explains how he and his family founded “Child Hope International” which established medical clinics, orphanages, schools and entrepreneurial trainings for the people of Haiti, and ended up getting his family featured on a CNN special with Soledad O'Brien and interviewed by Oprah. He explains how incredibly challenging yet incredibly rewarding life was for his family in Haiti. Bill then talks about how he transitioned back to life in the U.S. and started investing in real estate in 2014 at age 58 and explains how he has acquired 88 units since then. Bill gives his top advice for real estate investors over 50, and shares tips on analyzing and conducting your due diligence on out-of-state rental properties. Bill then explains why he started the “Old Dawg's REI Network” podcast and shares his biggest takeaways from it.

After over 20 years in business, as an entrepreneur and in music, Bill Manassero spent years doing mission work in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As he approached his retirement years, he turned to real estate and began helping other seniors learn how to leverage real estate to sustain them during their golden years.

Today I am joined by one of the "Old Dawgs" of real estate, Bill Manaserro. Bill is the host and "Top Dawg" of The Old Dawg’s REI Network podcast, which focuses on helping investors 50 years and older to build their retirement and leave a legacy for their children. His goal is to build a portfolio of 1,000 doors in just six years.

Listen to this, especially if you do not own real estate, or don’t think you should. You’ll learn how a missionary fresh off Haiti acquired over 100 units in 3 short years. In this episode, Jim interviews Bill Manassero, real estate investor, baby boomer, and real estate podcaster. Founder of the Old Dawg’s REI Network, host of the Old Dawgs Real Estate Network Podcast and Executive Director/President of Child Hope International, Bill has set the audacious goal of owning 1000 doors in 6 years. Currently, in year 3, he has already managed to own 100 doors. Bill shares his real estate journey—beginning with his very first purchases that were out of state to where he is today. He discusses how he scaled up by taking on mortgages or “good debt” and explains why he advocates for investing in multi-family homes as opposed to single-family homes. Bill urges all baby boomers to consider real estate investing as a way to fund their retirement. Tune in as Bill shares some of the hacks he’s learned along the way so that you can yield amazing cash flow from your investment property as soon as possible!   Time Stamped Show Notes:   ●     00:37 – Drying up that cash flow is a predicament that many boomers face; this is a fact discussed by Todd Tresidder in Episode 32 and Jordan Goodman in Episode 18 ●     01:07 – However, some people have lifetime pensions and no financial worries ●     01:16 – A couple of market haircuts might mean that even $1 million in savings may not be enough for retirement ●     01:37 – Jim recently closed on a duplex and was speaking with a home inspector o      01:43 – Found out that the home inspector owned 15 rental properties o      01:58 – When the market crashed, his real estate holding dropped like everyone else’s; however, his rental checks started coming in with increased regularity ●     02:23 – Today’s guest, Bill Manassero, is a baby boomer, real estate investor and real estate podcaster with a goal of owning 1000 doors ●     02:58 – Bill worked as a missionary in Haiti 12 years back o      04:01 – Towards the end of his stint, Bill left with no retirement benefits and was wondering what to do next o      04:25 – Was keen on becoming an entrepreneur since he wanted to enjoy his retirement years with his wife, kids, and grandkids. o      04:38 – Inspired by the likes of John Lee Dumas, he ventured into the world of internet by selling Amazon’s stuff on EBay o      05:10 – Was making decent money, but then got kicked out of EBay due to a couple of bad reviews o      06:02 – Invested his inheritance into 5 properties in Memphis and Atlanta o      06:58 – On the back of his initial success, invested in another duplex in Indianapolis o      07:17 – Still associated with Child Hope International based in Haiti; set a goal of 1000 units by the end of year 6 with the goal of benefiting this non-profit o      07:41 – Simple strategy of doubling units every years; has managed to reach 100 units at the end of year 3 ●     08:30 – Started blogging his real estate story which slowly evolved into a podcast; aiming to help people who are approaching retirement or already in retirement ●     09:40 – Purchased his first three properties in cash; realized that if he wished to grow further, he had to take up mortgages, which is “good debt” ●     11:02 – Aims to make a cash flow amount of $100 per door ●     12:10 – Inflation means that a dollar today will be worth less in the future; investing in real estate is a great way to counter inflation ●     12:49 – While some stocks might totally dissolve in value in a tough market, that is not the case with real estate o      13:17 – No matter how bad the economy is, people will always need a place to stay o      14:02 – Real estate is a tangible asset, and historically values have always gone up in real estate ●     14:37 – Define your needs in order to zero in on a property investment; if you need $200-$1,000 more, consider a single family home, duplex or fourplex o      14:56 – Apartments are a way to get to a high-income level quickly ●     15:17 – Ended up paying the same amount for the duplex as two single family homes but got twice as much rent; single property tax and low maintenance were the other perks ●     15:32 – Started investing in multi-family homes to exploit economies of scale ●     17:00 – 4 steps to invest in property: o      17:06 – Education is the first step; know what you are buying and where you are buying ▪       07:14 – Do not buy in a market that is on the decline; buy in a market where jobs are being created and there is demand for housing ▪       17:29 – Know the kind of property you want to get, and what you hope to get out of that ▪       17:44 – Know what you are buying, and what you should be paying for the property ▪       17:52 – Not recommended to buy a turnkey property since you end up paying a premium; no guarantee if the property manager is any good o      18:23 – Find a mentor who will help you build a rental portfolio o      18:39 – Determine how much money you need to set aside, create a plan about the amount of money you need to set aside and the properties that you need to buy o      18:55 – Step in there and take action ●     19:38 – Your education is put to good use after purchasing a property as you need to find tenants and deal with taxes ●     20:45 – Bill is based in California but owns properties in Memphis, Atlanta, and Minneapolis o      20:55 – Better to find a property in your own neighborhood o      21:35 – California is a speculative market and not right for someone looking for a good cash flow o      21:56 – Tennessee is a big commercial hub; great demand and duplex prices as low as $30,000 renders it a good market o      22:22 – Zillow estimate for the Minneapolis property that Bill purchased for $55,000 is currently $150,000 ▪       23:02 – Rents out this property at $2,200 per month ▪       23:56 – After having the property vacant for six months, was able to get a good property manager and subsequently tenants through BiggerPockets ●     26:10 – Bill talks about his experience purchasing a 22 unit complex in his second year o      26:25 – Found a 22 unit apartment property on Loopnet selling for $400,000 o      27:53 – Offered $370,000 and ended up getting the property for $350,000 after inspection o      28:02 – Appraised value by bank was $400,000 o      28:24 – 30% down payment was required due to Bill’s poor credit history o      29:06 – A multi-family home consisting of more than 5 units is looked upon as a business plan o      29:39 – After refurbishing the property, the value of the property has doubled ●     31:48 – Top reasons for boomers to invest in real estate o      31:50 – Strive to arrive on accurate valuations and driving up passive income o      32:08 – Bill’s properties are located in other states; recommends a passive investment approach where the property manager is the one dealing with the daily grind ▪       33:04 – Finding a good property manager is critical for out of state investors ●     33:16 – Open your properties under LLC to protect your other properties and personal assets; matters are generally settled between the tenant and the insurance provider and an out of state investor is completely out of the picture o      33:50 – If the tenant knows you, they are more apt to go for your personal assets in the event of a lawsuit ●     37:34 – Looking back, Bill would have slowed down a bit and found time to listen to people a bit more ●     38:41 – Connect with Bill through his email ●     39:01 – Check out the Child Hope website to know more about how they are helping children in Haiti ●     39:53 – The Old Dawgs Real Estate Network Podcast is geared towards 50 plus individuals looking to invest in real estate ●     40:21 – For Bill, investing in real estate is a way of helping out the kids in Haiti, visiting different places, and giving his daughters the marriages of their dreams ●     41:50 – Just because you are retired does not mean that it is over o      42:09 – Bill started investing in real estate at the age of 60 and is loving every minute of it; real estate investing is like a hobby that reaps great rewards ●     42:39 – In Planet Boomerville, we know that life is just beginning, and the whole idea is that this part of life is to be as good or better than the prior life ●     43:40 – Jim Enright’s sign-off message: Be stellar, and live life lively ●     43:50 – Spread the word with your baby boomer friends in person and on Facebook—Teach them how to listen to podcasts and how to subscribe 3 Key Points: 1.       Do not buy in a market that is on the decline; buy in a market where jobs are being created and there is demand for housing. 2.       Investing in multi-family housing is a great way to exploit economies of scale. 3.       A passive investment approach can yield rich returns for you; hiring a good property manager is critical for out of state investors.

Let's take a look at why Bill Manassero chose to volunteer overseas. You can listen to the show by clicking on the arrows below or finding it on your podcast app in your Smartphone. Volunteering Overseas: How it can give you a better retirement Bill Manassero is the President and Founder of Child Hope International. It's a charitable organization that works with orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children on the streets of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. The Manassero family's unique ministry, helped street children get off the streets, and build a promising life for themselves in the Haitian society. Bill and his family served as missionaries in Haiti from 2003 to 2015. Transitioning back to the states for retirement, he began investing in real estate as a means to fund their retirement and help fund their Haitian Mission. He now shares his real estate knowledge with other seniors through his Old Dawg’s REI Network – a website, blog and weekly podcast. Bill tells us some amazing and touching stories of his time spent Volunteering Overseas. Before Bill and his family went to Haiti, they had a children's music ministry. They traveled all around the world doing family concerts for various camps, schools, and groups. Bill noticed one of his daughters saving money. He asked her what she was saving for. His daughter said she wanted to build an orphanage, a school, and a church in Haiti. She was only nine years old at the time! This was the catalyst to start their Haitian Mission. His organization is very much volunteer driven — A good majority of the volunteers are retired. The volunteers commit to anywhere from 1 week to 2 years of service. The volunteers help with things such as teaching life skills such as baking and sewing. They also show the children how to set up a business so they can become self sufficient. The volunteers feed hundreds of children every week. It was fascinating to hear how much volunteering overseas has impacted not only the Haitian Children, but the volunteers as well. We asked, “What do you think people should know BEFORE they retire?” and he responded with: Look forward to it. Prepare yourself for a new adventure to do anything you want to do. Take a look at the spiritual and emotional side.  Start getting excited. Don't get hung up on the money aspect. Focus on the freedom you will have.  You can use that freedom to help others and help yourself. What advice would you give to a retiree who feels stuck? Try to change your perspective on your retirement. Spend time with those in need.
