When Ryan Murdock moved to Malta in 2011, he intended to write a "breezy island novel" replete with quirky characters and sun-soaked tranquility. He would go on to write a book, but it was not the one he imagined. In a book that is part thriller, but anthropological examination, and part tribute to the pioneering Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, Ryan told a gripping tale that all serious readers of travel writing need to have on their shelves.

Today's Guest: Ryan Murdock Ryan spent ten years in the electronics manufacturing industry before transitioning to real estate investing and property management in 2007. Today, he is VP of Acquisitions at Open Door Capital, a real estate investment company from Bigger Pocket's Brandon Turner. Ryan has extensive management experience in many facets of real estate including retail, office, multi-family, HOA, nationwide consulting, and mobile home parks. He has been a licensed real estate broker since 2008 and owns and operates a portfolio of residential rental properties. Highlights From The Show: Before Ryan got into real estate investing, he worked as a production facility technician in the electronics manufacturing industry, traveling all over the world. His priorities really changed when he got married and found himself having to decide if he wanted to continue to live overseas. He bought his first rental property when he was thirty years old and has been building his “empire” ever since! Ryan's first investment was in a duplex in Bangor, Maine and he lived on one side while renting out the other, “house hack” style. He financed this investment very traditionally and talks about how this was his first experience with having difficult tenants to deal with. He bought a few more duplexes and was looking aggressively at foreclosures to find other deals, while at the same time, he started his own property management company. He ran this company himself for about five years and then eventually paired up with a bigger management company that had a network of employees that he did not. At about this same time, he also got his real estate license so he could pursue his own deals. Eventually, Ryan got to a point with his own portfolio where he was able to leave this company and go back to managing only his rental properties, aided by much better systems, technology, and automation. As he started to broker other deals and do some consulting, it made sense for him to give the project management portion to his past employers so he could spend his time in more profitable endeavors. Ryan utilizes the BRRRR strategy with his properties, so we spent some time discussing how that worked for him. He talked about how he was completely reinvigorated by finding the BiggerPockets podcast and learning about different strategies that he had not yet explored. It made him take a hard look at his portfolio and get money out to use as working capital to invest in more properties. He encourages our listeners to take a hard look at their own properties in order to maximize their cash flow. I then asked Ryan what made him pick up his life and move to Maui and join forces with Brandon Turner. Ryan and Brandon had partnered to buy a mobile home park and developed a relationship through that process. When Brandon moved to Maui, he asked Ryan to come out and give him a hand, and a week-long stay turned into a month. Brandon eventually hired Ryan as his personal assistant. Because Ryan initially hooked up with Brandon by feeding him a mobile park investment lead, we spent some time exploring this investing strategy. Ryan talked about how to evaluate these types of investments and the techniques they used to add value to these communities. Once Ryan moved to Hawaii, they got really invested in Open Door Capital, Brandon's company which exclusively buys mobile home parks. At the time of recording, they owned about 10 different communities with approximately 1500 lots. Ryan went into quite a bit of detail about what they look for in an investment of this kind and also the type of investor that they look for to partner up with them. He also pitched the “Bring Brandon A Deal” promotion they are running now if someone finds them an off-market mobile park deal. Ryan has an incredibly diverse background in investing and in life, so you do not want to miss this entertaining and informative episode of the Just Start Real Estate Podcast! Notable Quotes: “The real driving factor for getting into real estate was that I just couldn't see myself in another corporate job for the next thirty years.” Ryan Murdock “I went on Amazon and bought every real estate and property management book they had because I had no idea what I was doing.” Ryan Murdock “Maybe if I had read some different or better books I wouldn't have made so many mistakes.” Ryan Murdock “If I am going to be married to my own rental properties, I might as well start managing some for other people and generate a little income.” Ryan Murdock “If you feel like you are getting close to hiring help, you are probably already past the point when you should.” Mike Simmons “I think a lot of people are like me - I had 10 cents in my bank account and every day is a struggle to hustle.” Ryan Murdock “There are different tiers to financial freedom… it doesn't happen overnight.” Ryan Murdock “Finding and listening to the BiggerPockets podcast really lit a fire under me again.” Ryan Murdock “I encourage other investors to keep an eye on their properties' financials.” Ryan Murdock “I just want to buy and hold everything.” Ryan Murdock “Because of Brandon's platform and reach, he is able to attract some extremely talented people.” Ryan Murdock “I'm always amazed at the ways you can make money in real estate.” Mike Simmons Thank You for Listening!

On March 17th, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Scott Hawley of Belmont University at the Study Center for a second talk titled “Taming Chaos: Generative Modeling As a Foil to Human Creativity.”Dr. Hawley is a Professor of Physics at Belmont, and his research interests include machine learning, neural networks, and the ethics of A.I. Last week, we posted his talk on machine learning and classification. Today, we are glad to post his reflections on generative models and creativity. Here is how Dr. Hawley described the talk: “We did it. We finally killed art.” This tweet in the summer of 2021 by Ryan Murdock summarized the feeding frenzy of worldwide activity in generative ‘A.I.'-based artwork since he first paired text prompts with image-generating software last January. The hard-won styles of seasoned masters could be appropriated with little more than a suffix of “in the style of [....].” Sophisticated generative models of visual art have become increasingly common, with ever-higher qualities of output and speed of execution. Yet these exist along the continuum of the timeline of generative art stretching back centuries. The interplay between randomness and the intentionality of the artist is at the heart of disputes over whether such products constitute artwork and to what extent computational methods mimic or diverge from human creativity. In this talk, we provide a survey of historical and cutting-edge generative art methods, conversations, and opportunities presented by generative models used by humans in the creation of visual, textual, and auditory artistic artifacts.During the talk, Dr. Hawley made extensive use of slides and you can view those here while you listen. You can also follow Dr. Hawley on Twitter @drscotthawley.And finally, here is a link to a recent short essay by Dr. Hawley at A.I. Theology, “Human Mercy Is The Antidote To AI-Driven Bureaucracy.” This is a public episode.

Eventually, Ryan got to a point with his own portfolio where he was able to leave this company and go back to managing only his rental properties, aided by much better systems, technology, and automation. As he started to broker other deals and do some consulting, it made sense for him to give the project management portion to his past employers so he could spend his time in more profitable endeavors. Ryan utilizes the BRRRR strategy with his properties, so we spent some time discussing how that worked for him. He talked about how he was completely reinvigorated by finding the BiggerPockets podcast and learning about different strategies that he had not yet explored. It made him take a hard look at his portfolio and get money out to use as working capital to invest in more properties. He encourages our listeners to take a hard look at their own properties in order to maximize their cash flow. I then asked Ryan what made him pick up his life and move to Maui and join forces with Brandon Turner. Ryan and Brandon had partnered to buy a mobile home park and developed a relationship through that process. When Brandon moved to Maui, he asked Ryan to come out and give him a hand, and a week-long stay turned into a month. Brandon eventually hired Ryan as his personal assistant. Because Ryan initially hooked up with Brandon by feeding him a mobile park investment lead, we spent some time exploring this investing strategy. Ryan talked about how to evaluate these types of investments and the techniques they used to add value to these communities. Once Ryan moved to Hawaii, they got really invested in Open Door Capital, Brandon’s company which exclusively buys mobile home parks. At the time of recording, they owned about 10 different communities with approximately 1500 lots. Ryan went into quite a bit of detail about what they look for in an investment of this kind and also the type of investor that they look for to partner up with them. He also pitched the “Bring Brandon A Deal” promotion they are running now if someone finds them an off-market mobile park deal. Ryan has an incredibly diverse background in investing and in life, so you do not want to miss this entertaining and informative episode of the Just Start Real Estate Podcast! Notable Quotes: “The real driving factor for getting into real estate was that I just couldn’t see myself in another corporate job for the next thirty years.” Ryan Murdock “I went on Amazon and bought every real estate and property management book they had because I had no idea what I was doing.” Ryan Murdock “Maybe if I had read some different or better books I wouldn’t have made so many mistakes.” Ryan Murdock “If I am going to be married to my own rental properties, I might as well start managing some for other people and generate a little income.” Ryan Murdock “If you feel like you are getting close to hiring help, you are probably already past the point when you should.” Mike Simmons “I think a lot of people are like me - I had 10 cents in my bank account and every day is a struggle to hustle.” Ryan Murdock “There are different tiers to financial freedom… it doesn’t happen overnight.” Ryan Murdock “Finding and listening to the BiggerPockets podcast really lit a fire under me again.” Ryan Murdock “I encourage other investors to keep an eye on their properties’ financials.” Ryan Murdock “I just want to buy and hold everything.” Ryan Murdock “Because of Brandon’s platform and reach, he is able to attract some extremely talented people.” Ryan Murdock “I’m always amazed at the ways you can make money in real estate.” Mike Simmons Links: Level Jumping: How I Grew My Business to Over $1 Million in Profits in 12 Months Real Estate Investing for Dummies Property Management for Dummies BiggerPockets Podcast Open Door Capital Bring Brandon A Deal Return on Investments Just Start Real Estate JSRE on Facebook Mike on Facebook Mike on Instagram Mike on LinkedIn Mike on Twitter

There are many ways to make money in real estate, and if we want to take advantage of everything the industry has to offer, we can’t limit ourselves to just one avenue. Adding investing to the list of services we provide does more than increase our number of revenue streams. By offering clients the opportunity to sell their homes through us and to us, we pave the way for tailor-made value. The problem is, many agents are nervous about entering the space. How can first-time investors get started, and what obstacles might they face? How can we build confidence in ourselves as we go? In this episode, Director of Operations and Vice President of Acquisitions at Open Door Capital, Ryan Murdock shares how agents can establish themselves as investors. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode - Why all real estate agents should be investing No one understands real estate better than agents, why not take advantage of the knowledge we have and enter the investment space ourselves? We’re more than capable of great results, so stop giving opportunities away. - How to create an investment business that works for us One of the greatest things about real estate is the number of paths we can take. Carve out a niche - there’s no reason to get boxed in to something we don’t enjoy. - How to build confidence when we’re new to investing The only way to get more comfortable in the investing space is by getting started. Stop procrastinating, get the funds and just do it!
