Welkom allemaal bij een nieuwe podcast met de missie om de online automotive beter te maken. Vandaag een nieuwe podcasts waarbij praten met de man die de meeste auto's wast van Nederland: Shailen Rambaran Mishre. Je kwam vandaag binnen, gaf een hand en zei: “Ik was auto's”. Vertel: “Dat klopt, ik heb zo'n 20 jaar geleden de nationale autowasbon opgericht. Dat is een cadeaubon voor autowassen. Ik ben zelf razend enthousiast over auto's wassen. Ik vind het een fantastisch moment om met de auto door de wasstraat te gaan en alles wat daarmee te maken heeft. Ik kwam op het idee van een autowasbon omdat ik ooit een keer een auto heb geleend en ik graag de persoon wilde belonen met een autowasbon. Die bestond alleen toen nog niet. Het was lokaal wel te vinden maar het was nog niet op nationaal niveau ingevoerd. Ik wist alleen niet waar de persoon waar ik de auto van had geleend, normaalgesproken zijn auto wast. Vanuit mijn marketingachtergrond ben ik vanaf dat moment gaan berekenen of er wellicht een autowasbon kon worden ontwikkeld. In 2004 heb ik toen de stap genomen en mijn toenmalige baan als marketingmanager opgezegd om te starten met de cadeaubon voor het autowassen. Nu 20 jaar later zijn we een begrip geworden en hebben we momenteel ruim 800 locaties.” Customer journey “Een product zoals de nationale autowasbon kan enorm waardevol zijn voor bijvoorbeeld dealers. Dit product is namelijk tijdloos, het is voor iedereen en het is ook nog eens nuttig. Met name kan dit product een grote rol spelen in de customer journey. Vroeger werd er bijvoorbeeld een cadeau gegeven bij de aflevering van een auto aan de klant. Nu kan een dealer ervoor kiezen om een autowasbon te geven zodat de eerste grote wasbeurt van de auto gedekt is. Ook kan de bon worden ingezet bij onderhoudsbeurten. Door de bon te geven aan de klant na een onderhoudsbeurt kan de klant zelf bepalen waar en wanneer de auto wordt gewassen waardoor de monteur geen kostbare tijd hoeft te besteden aan het wassen van de auto. Vaak hebben dealers wel een eigen wasstraat, maar de praktijk leert dat deze wasstraten vaak vol staan, en kost extra geld. De autowasbon is met name interessant bij kleinschalig onderhoud zoals een bandenwissel of bij APK, zodat de klant zelf kan bepalen waar en wanneer de auto gewassen wordt, zonder kostbare tijd te verliezen.” Persoonlijk contact “Het is belangrijk dat er persoonlijk contact is met de klant. Dit kan worden versterkt door het gebruik van een product als de autowasbon. Door het geven van een service, zoals de autowasbon, kan de dealer aan de klant laten blijken dat het contact als waardevol wordt gezien. Ook kan de bon worden gebruikt bij klachten. In zo'n geval is het van belang om snel en adequaat te reageren. Hierin kan de autowasbon worden ingezet om de klachten snel te behandelen, door bij de afhandeling van de klacht ook een autowasbon te sturen. Maar de bon kan ook op andere manieren worden ingezet. Zo kan het als een cadeau worden gegeven op speciale momenten, bijvoorbeeld als de auto één of twee jaar eerder verkocht is aan de klant. Er zijn dus verschillende momenten en manieren waarop een dergelijk product kan worden ingezet om het persoonlijk contact met de klant te versterken, een positieve indruk achter te laten en mogelijke klachten adequaat af te handelen.” Shailen, dankjewel voor je komst naar de studio.

Shailynn Taylor's journey with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a degenerative genetic disorder, is one of incredible resilience and hope. Diagnosed at 18 months old, she was told that her life expectancy was only twelve years. At the age of 22, she started experiencing rapid deterioration in her health and even planned her funeral. But just in time, a treatment for SMA was approved in the US, and Shailynn began advocating for access to this life-saving medication. Shailynn's mental health journey, which includes battling depression and anxiety, has been just as challenging as her physical health. She emphasizes the importance of counseling, learning coping mechanisms, and finding a balance to navigate both SMA and mental health complexities. Through her advocacy work, Shailynn shines a light on the need for change in various areas, such as accessible housing and air travel. Despite everything, Shailynn refuses to let SMA define her, instead focusing on living a life full of joy, positivity, and possibility. ..........................................................................

TRANSCRIPT: Host/Lisa: Welcome back to another episode of rising strong mental health and resilience. I'm your host, Lisa Bain, and today I have an inspiring guest who shares her story of resilience in the face of a debilitating genetic disorder. She literally went from planning her funeral to planning her future. Now, let's get started. Host/Lisa: Today I'm speaking with Shailen Taylor, who's a disability advocate and motivational speaker. She has shaped her perspective to value connection and authenticity above all. Welcome to the show, Shailen. Shailynn: Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here with you today. Host/Lisa: At age 18 months, you were diagnosed with SMA, a rare degenerative genetic disorder similar to ALS. Can you tell us more about this and how it shaped your future? Shailynn: For sure? So at about a year old, my parents started to notice that I was having a bit of trouble. When I would walk, my ankles would curve in a little bit. But other than that, I was happy and healthy and meeting most of my milestones. My mom went to lots of different doctors, and they all said that it was fine, I would grow out of the way I was walking, and it would be fine. But after many opinions, at 18 months old, my parents got the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy, type two. They unknowingly were both carriers of the genetic disease. And by both being carriers, they had a one in four chance of having a child with SMA. And so my brother and I are 17 months apart. So before they had my diagnosis, my brother was born. And he was born with a heart defect that required open heart surgery and months and months in the ICU. And so he thankfully, is not affected by SMA, but also has his own medical battles. And so SMA is a genetic disease. It starts at birth, impacting the muscles, slowly deteriorating from the spine out. It leads to other complications with health, but ultimately takes away the ability to walk, to speak, breathe, eat, until it has deteriorated all the muscles in the body. So when I was diagnosed, they told my parents that my life expectancy was twelve years old, that there was no treatment, no cure, just to take me home and love me. But there was nothing that medicine could do to prolong my life in any way. And so I hit twelve and then hit 18. And it wasn't until I hit 22 that I finally started having health practitioners saying to me, your health is deteriorating at a rapid rate, and you need to be aware of what that looks like. Making end of life plans, I completely planned my funeral with my best friend at 20 years old, and then suddenly, there was a treatment approved in the US for my disease when there had never been something on the market. And so I began advocating for those treatments, and it would be a long fight of many years. But I eventually, in 2018, accessed treatment because of the help of my community, who fundraised hundreds of thousands of dollars in order for me to not only pay for four doses of treatment, but knowing that that would qualify me for a medical study in New York, for a clinical trial of a new treatment for my disease that was still at phase one study. Host/Lisa: And you are currently enrolled in that study and taking part in treatment? Correct. Shailynn: So I have completed that study since. After five years, I hit the end of the study. Unfortunately, about the last two years into treatment with that drug, I began seeing a decline in my strength and my energy again, and knew that likely the dose just wasn't high enough for adults as I was receiving the same dose as small children were getting. And it was an oral drug, and the drug that I had purchased was spinal injections of a drug called spinraza. It was the first drug ever to come out for SMA and has been around for almost 14 years now in the SMA community. But this is the first year that they're starting to study a new dose for adults and are really investing in the research and collecting the data of what this drug can do for adults and what possibly increasing the dose could do to benefit adults with SMA as well. Host/Lisa: So how old were you when you started these treatments at an adult, and how old are you? Shailynn: I started my first clinical trial was a two month study out of Alberta children's hospital, and it was an oral drug. They had never made it very far, but that was my first taste of wanting to see what research was like for my disease. And that was in 2016. I was 19 years old then. And so, yeah, I am now 28 years old and have been on treatment consistently since I was 23. And yeah, it's incredible to be 28 and as healthy as I am and able to still keep planning a future when for a long time in my life, that wasn't something I ever allowed myself to do. Right. Host/Lisa: So you've gone from planning your funeral to planning your future. That's a huge turnaround. Can you tell us how all of this has affected your mental health? Shailynn: Definitely. My mental health has been something I've battled with since I was in grade eight, is when I first started struggling with depression and anxiety. And it wasn't until I was 18 that I first was diagnosed with seasonal depression and anxiety. At the time and started my journey of mental health, medications and the battle of trying to be independent as a kid and wanting to push your limits and become your own person was definitely what first made me realize how different I was and how different my future would look. And that grief and jealousy for a long time was just too much, and I didn't have the tools to understand it or to cope with it. My mental health has been something that's come and gone repeatedly. I've recently been being looked at for bipolar, bipolar depression. And so just like medically, my mental health is complex, and then my life is complex on top of it. And so the combination has been much harder of a battle for me than living with SMA has been the battle with my mental health and trying. Host/Lisa: To. Shailynn: Find a balance and find the right medications, the right counseling, the right tools to be able to cope with my life and move forward in my life. Host/Lisa: So that just segues perfectly into my next question, which is, what does coping look like for you? What are your tools? What are your skills? What have you learned over the years? What works for you? Shailynn: So coping for me has definitely expanded a lot. For a long time, I coped by dissociating and learning to stay in my body and cope with the pain. I have a lot of chronic pain, so staying in my body, being able to cope with the pain I'm in, and there's the never ending medical battles. Learning to stop dissociate. Dissociating was huge for me. That was a lot of counseling. I have been going to a counselor for over 15 years now, and that's not like consistently every month, but through the hard times in my mental health journey, I lean back into counseling and being reminded of the tools that are there to cope. My medication, my sleep, being able to prioritize little things like that and realize that they also can have a big impact on my mental health, really has helped me feel a bit more in control of it. And just the more I learn about my mental health and the way I think and my patterns, the more I'm able to correct them and learn from them and be aware when I'm starting to fall back into patterns and be able to implement the different tools that are available at the time. Host/Lisa: Would you say that your counselor has helped you discover different tools, or has that been something that's just been part of your life experience, just your own learning as you go along? Shailynn: My counselors have definitely helped me discover new tools, but I think what I find most helpful with counseling is having someone who can challenge my thoughts and make me aware of the unhealthy patterns in my thoughts. And I think that those reminders I still need sometimes to be able to get out of the loops I'll get into. But I've been to over 20 counselors and I think that each one kind of leaves something different with me. And I've been able to come to terms with different things with each one. And I don't think that a person has ever done counseling. In a way, I think there will forever be ways we can learn to cope and to show up differently in the world. Host/Lisa: Absolutely. And I think an important thing that you just brought up and I can definitely relate to, is we're in our own heads. Twenty four seven. And so even though when we say things out loud to our counselor and they call us out on our bs, right, but in our own heads, it's a dialogue that goes on all the time, so it becomes our normal. And I think you're absolutely right. Having somebody be able to call us out on that or just even question, maybe not call us out so blatantly, but even just take us down through some questions and have us examine our own thoughts by exploring different things so that we can realize the self chatter in our own heads that may not even be true. Shailynn: Right, exactly. Host/Lisa: So you do a lot of advocacy work, which I absolutely love. Can you tell us a bit more about what you're involved in? Shailynn: Yeah. So my advocacy work was not something that I went into planning to do. It evolved from me advocating for treatment and realizing that really I was the only person advocating that every adult with SMA's life mattered and could be made better by a treatment that was sitting on a shelf. And the more I got into that world, the more I saw just how many areas need light shone on them and need consistent pressure and awareness in order for change to happen. So I work with advocacy for accessible housing, for accessible air travel, and then I work with newly diagnosed SMA families and helping them through their journey. I've worked with the Canadian Organization for Rare diseases, doing a lot of political advocacy with them and being right in Ottawa meeting with the people making the decisions for rare. Yeah, it has. It's ebbed and flowed and it's something that I have to be very aware while I'm doing because I burn myself out very easily. And so I have to remember that there will always be time for advocacy, and I can only do so much. But it's definitely once you have something that you're so passionate about and so passionate about changing, it just kind of becomes a part of your life, whether you want it or not. And just seeing the changes that have come from different projects I've advocated with is really like fuel to keep advocating, because changes do happen. When multiple voices and people come together, there's room for change. And believing that change is possible is key for me and my mental health to not just get down with the way things.

Shailynn: I think a lot of hope for me has come since treatment. But more than treatment giving me hope, it's seeing little kids and how incredible they're doing on treatment and being able to say, like, wow, if they're able to do that on treatment right from birth, this treatment can do something for me. And believing that I don't need to change anything about the way I am, but hoping that my quality of life can improve. Those little bits of hope are what I cling to. And then, just like family and friends who have always believed so much is possible for me and the community who has come alongside me over the yeah, it's everyone, it's the people who believe in me that give me hope. And then the hope I have for the future of SMA. And SMA not being something that is terminal one day, well, and by being. Host/Lisa: Part of clinical trials, you are creating that change. It may not happen today or tomorrow or next year, but you are a part of that journey of creating that change. Should be very proud of that. You have been quoted as saying that you will not let SMA define you. Can you speak a little bit more to that? Shailynn: Yeah. I think as a teenager I was really scared that my life would only be about SMA and trying to stay healthy. And it is a full time job. SMA is like a huge part of my life. And the research, the conferences, the advocacy, all of it is SMA. But I refuse to let my life just be SMA. I never wanted all my hours to be spent trying to stay alive, because then what was I staying alive for? And so I've always wanted all these experiences. But never really thought I could wait for them in the future. And so instead, it just brought me to live really fast and do all the things I'd ever dreamed while my body was healthy enough. And in doing all of those things, I was able to find myself and realize that I am so much more than SMA. But because of SMA, there's some very special work that I get to do and some amazing people in my life that I would not know if it weren't for the disease. And so I have finally, as an adult, now come to realize that SMA does not define me. It's a huge part of my life. It's a huge part of who I am. But I am my own person with my own goals and just my own experiences I want to have and vision for my life. Host/Lisa: It's interesting because I say the same words about my grief journey. Grief is embedded into every cell of my being. It will never be removed from me. I will carry it until the day I die. But I refuse to let it define me. Shailynn: Definitely, no. Host/Lisa: We are so much more than the challenges that we face. We can let them define us, definitely. We both know probably lots of people that allow that to happen. But when we make that decision not to let that happen, that's where the magic happens. Shailynn: I think it really is. And still being able to give space for that grief and for how it shaped you, but then still choosing to live and to make the most out of life, it's such a duality. But I think it's something that by the end of our lives, almost every human will have experienced both sides of life. Host/Lisa: Absolutely. I think the longer we're on this planet, the longer we're alive, the more adversity we face. Now, you may never experience another adversity such as sma. You might experience other, smaller adversities. I may experience nothing like losing my daughter ever again. Dear God, I hope not. But life is constantly throwing curveballs at us. It's unfortunately part of our learning process as human beings is what I've come to accept, I guess, on some level. But I think we do get stronger. I mean, I hated hearing that term, and I don't know how you feel about, you're so strong, right? You just kind of want to throat punch people sometimes. Nobody gave us a choice. Nobody gave you a choice or me a choice. But here we are. And it used to make me angry, but now I think, yeah, I am strong. And you, my dear, are definitely strong. And I think we get stronger by learning to carry our stuff longer and longer and longer. Right. And facing these other curveballs completely. Shailynn: Yes. And we learn to carry it with the memory of the people who are not with us. And that makes it less of a lonely battle. Always when you can just step back and remember that, yeah, there are people right next to you that other people may not see, but they're there. Host/Lisa: Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. Now, I've met you a handful of times and you're always chipper and happy and you're just like oozing with positivity. What's your secret? Shailynn: I think my secret is that I know depression, I know sadness, I know grief, and I don't want other people to be feeling those ways. And so I choose to show up joyfully. I choose to be positive and find the positives. But there is no magic trick. It's being around other people who are positive, who choose to show up with joy also, because it's a choice. It's completely a choice to show up angry, bitter, miserable, or to show up with a smile on your face. And I think it's the simplest choice we can make, is to spread kindness to the people we encounter in our day, because we all have no clue what anyone's going through that we pass. And yeah, it's taking space for myself. It's coming to a place where I've learned what I need, what breaks I need to take in order to show up that way. And for me, recently, this last year has been super hard with. I ended up getting c diffs for months and then I was declining on treatment and I had to move home. I was living in Calgary on my own and I had to move back in with my parents at 28. And there was just like a lot of grief that I was experiencing and frustration. And I chose to step away from social media for almost a year. And it wasn't because I didn't feel comfortable sharing the space I was in. It was because I didn't feel I had any positive in me to also bring to people. And I feel that it's important that we talk about the heavy and the grief and those things, but that we also are able to show up with joy while talking about those heavy things. And yeah, it was a long time for me to be able to come to terms with the quick shift my life took and building back what I was dreaming about before it kind of tumbled down. Host/Lisa: So do you think that we can fake it till we make it? Sometimes? Like, even if we're not feeling up to putting that smile on our face or being that person that brings joy. Do you think sometimes we just have to make ourselves do it to get to that point? Or do you think that's doing ourselves a disservice? Shailynn: I think that at some point, we do have to make those tiny changes, because you can stay in that heavy, but nobody is going to bring you out of the heavy except yourself. And so it really is something that you have to force a bit at first, and then it becomes natural. It becomes natural to want to make people smile and to say something kind to them and to make people feel seen. But if you're not feeling seen, the forcing will just drain you. Host/Lisa: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. I think that there's two sides to that coin. And I agree with everything you said. I mean, there are days that I didn't feel like putting the happy face on, but I did it, and then it got easier. But I also got myself into a heap of mental health trouble by putting that mask on too much and not being honest with myself, even about what was going on inside. So I think it is a little bit of a balancing act, definitely. And there's no easy step by step process on how to work with that. I think we've all got to figure out what works for us. But on that topic, do you have any physical or mental rituals that you do for your physical and mental well being? Shailynn: Yeah, when I'm at my healthiest, I'm going to the gym, I'm stretching. I'm leaving the house at least a few times a week. But it's a bit of a balance, as everything is for me, because I also can only do those rituals when my health has the capacity for them. So they've become things that I know are good for me and that I'm my happiest when I'm doing them. But I also have to be able to pause and know that I'll be able to get back to those rituals and those activities. But sometimes I need a break. So finding that balance is tricky for me. My one ritual that I started in high school, and I'm very privileged to be able to do this, but every winter I go somewhere hot for at least a week, because being in Saskatchewan, where it's freezing and so much snow, I'm pretty much trapped in my house so much. And I need to have that freedom back, to be able to drive my wheelchair down a sidewalk, to be able to go where I want on my own time, and also to have a break from the muscle pain that I get all winter from being so tense. And so that is my one ritual that I try my best to save for and stick to is to have that week of recharge in the season that I know is most challenging for me. And it really does help me to make it through the rest of the winter when I've had a bit of a break from feeling so isolated. Host/Lisa: Absolutely. I think there's something powerful, too, in having something to look forward to. Right. Even though things are really awful, like, it could be 400 below or so, it seems, you know, that that trip is coming so good for you for making that a priority. Shailynn: Yeah, it's been very good for me. And then just like I love to swim, I can move freely in the water. So just things like that in that week, I can really take care of myself and move my body. And, yeah, it's very healing. And something that I very much recommend when it's possible is just any kind of little break from everyday life to really recharge. Host/Lisa: Absolutely. I agree. I know that our listeners are going to want to go online and check you out and maybe book you as a speaker. So where's the best place for them to go and do that? Shailynn: The best place for them to reach me is on Instagram. I'll have the link to you for the episode. And, yeah, send me a message. I love being able to be out in the community. I work with everything from schools and kids to women's events, and it really does give me such a purpose to be able to go and spend time connecting with people in the community and being able to normalize disability a bit more. Host/Lisa: And thank you for being so raw and vulnerable. And you've made me comfortable asking you some really hard questions. And I feel like I have learned a little bit more about what SMA is all about and the challenges that people like yourself face. So thank you so much for being my guest today on rising strong. Shailynn: Thank you for giving me a space to share my story. I appreciate it very much so. Host/Lisa: And to the listeners, stay well and be resilient and remember that you were made for more. Catch you next time.

This is our first ever AMA, where we answer listener submitted questions.  --- Transcript:   Emil: Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of the remote real estate investor. My name is Emil Shour and I am joined by Tom Schneider, Michael Albaum. And today we are doing our first ever AMA, ask me anything. So we posted an episode, a short episode last week, asking you guys to submit any questions you have to us. And, we also posted on social. So we've got a combination of people dialing in people asking us questions on social that we're going to tackle in today's episode. So let's start answering some questions.   Theme Song   Emil: All right, guys, tell me how excited are you to answer these listener submitted questions today?   Michael: Before Tom goes, I'm the most excited I win.   Tom: Aah, I'm really excited. And honestly, I think this can be kind of a recurring segment. So some of the stuff that we all do is we also do webinars with rooftop webinars, go check it out. Really great webinars. Anyways, we just like save time at the end for questions. And there's always so many good questions that we don't have time for. It's like it could be its own segment. So I think this whole AMA thing on the podcast could have some legs and be as core sort of a recurring thing. Like maybe we throw an episode in the middle of the week or talking about this before. So with that said, do not stop submitting questions. Just keep firing them in, and we will get to them. I think it could be a longterm thing that we do on the podcast.   Michael: We're going to start a question bank, so to speak. So it keeps sending the questions like Tom said, and we will get to them as soon as we can. Whenever we have time on these AMA episodes, I think it's just so great because the whole point of this podcast was to give the people what they want. And so now that we're getting questions directly from listeners, I think that's super, super valuable. And chances are, if you have a question, somebody else has it as well.   Tom: And I mean, what's fun about it is we as the host, like have some experience, but if there's stuff that's like outside of what we know we're going to bring in folks to help answer those questions. We have access to a lot of resources and a lot of smart people, so do not be shy about if it's a question, a little more novice or it's a little more advanced, we will get the right people in front of the microphone.   Emil: Yeah. And we actually, we've got a lot of good questions. A lot of these I'm curious about myself, so I'm hoping maybe you guys can help answer them. Cause I'm like, Hmm. Some of these are really good. I don't have experience with these. So, all right. Let's start, let's start tackling. Some are the first one we have is submitted by Shailen. Let's, listen to that question right now.   Shailen: All three of you have spoken about how you live, I think in Southern California, but you manage properties all over the country. How are you familiar with those other areas? Have you lived there before? If not, is there, do you travel there to figure out what a good neighborhood is? Rootstock has neighborhoods, but it's hard to know exactly what these mean for renters. If you've never lived there or visited there, can you elaborate more on the remote investing concept? Should you have three to five properties in one city or town before you go to the next town? Or are there some locations where you only have one property that you own?   Emil: All right. So great question all around. How do you choose a market as a real estate remote real estate investor? So this is a massive topic and we actually covered it on a previous episode, episode 21 called the art and science of choosing a real estate market, where we do a deep dive on how do you actually choose a real estate market? It's a long conversation. We spent about 40 minutes talking about it. So Shailen, definitely recommend you go check that one out. Some of the other things you asked about, do you choose one market and buy one property there or do you choose a market and buy several from personal experience? I have, but single properties in different markets. I have markets where I just have one property and I actually recommend people not do that. Now, just from my personal experience, I think it's probably better to choose one or two markets get really knowledgeable on that. Know what properties sell for. You're just, it's harder to be good at many markets versus choosing one or two and, and getting really good there. So even though I've done the one property in multiple markets, it's not necessarily what I recommend for other people. You guys have anything else to anything that there?   Tom: Yeah, you don't necessarily, I mean, just, you know, we had that episode, but to kind of just a Tom note on the topic is you don't necessarily have to go to the market, but have some parameters in the way that you're selecting a market. Be it population, be it like what type of economy is going on and diverse economy. So don't do the, throw the dart at the map method, like have some insight on how you select a market, but you know, you definitely don't need to, necessarily to go there and also to get educated on the market with regards to the different pockets and know what kind of expected returns that you would get be it gross yield. So when you're evaluating a deal, you have some context of this is a good property based on this area, or just wherever you decide to do an investing in market, just get educated on the market. Okay.   Michael: And just to echo that Shailen last thing that I'll add is if you're going to be remote investing, you're going to be relying on a lot of people to be your eyes and ears. Anyhow, most notably is probably going to be your property manager. So this is a great opportunity to start putting that relationship to the test and utilizing people that are remote. Anyhow, because if you go, if you need to go and physically be there in order to make decisions, well, anytime a big decision needs to be made. If you need to go get on a plane or get in the car and go drive there, that makes for just a tougher ownership process. So just consider that when you're thinking about investing at a distance property, managers can be your best friend   Emil: And Shailen asked about the Roofstock neighborhood rating. And so for people who aren't familiar with that, Tom, can you give a background on that? I know you have on previous episodes and you always describe it very well.   Tom: Neighborhood score, excellent point. So I think in a future episode, we're going to bring on someone from the data science team to get a little bit more into the weeds, but at a very high level, Roofstock pays a bunch of money for data. A data that has to do with historical population changes, changes in the economy, crime school, as well as forecasting out. So the neighborhood score is the synthesis of all that data that Roofstock collects. And it presents a simple one to five star score of five being, wow, this is a neighborhood that we think would make a great investment with regards to lower risk and better opportunity for appreciation where a one-star would be higher risk though. So that is the neighborhood score at a super high level, but I'm writing down as a note, we're going to bring on the data science team on an episode and grill them into the details of the Roofstock neighborhood score.   Emil: Awesome And again, for anyone who wants a real long, deep dive of how to choose a remote market, make sure you listen to Episode 21 called The Art and Science of Choosing a Real Estate Market.   Tom: All right, Robin from Wisconsin says, I love the show. You guys are super helpful in past episodes. You guys have mentioned you prefer investing in Metro areas versus suburban. How do you define Metro and why is it your preference? Do you consider cities with populations close to 200,000, like Akron, Birmingham, Greensboro to be Metro areas? Is there a population cutoff? So I'll take the first stab at this when I think of a Metro and I'm sure there is like a technical definition for that, but I think of a collection of cities that would like make an area. And also just to be clear, like, I don't think suburbs are bad. I think rural areas are a little bit risky just because there's typically not a very diverse economy, but I think suburbs are great. And actually a lot of my investments are in the suburbs of big cities, but back to kind of asking about defining a Metro, I think of it as a greater area. So if I'm thinking about Dallas, I would be inclusive of Arlington Fort worth. They're all kind of like within striking range of each other. I live over in Northern California in the suburbs of San Francisco. And I would say the Metro of that, you know, San Francisco would be Oakland, San Jose, Walnut Creek, Concord. So I think of Metro as kind of the broader, this wouldn't be too crazy of a drive to do, you know, maybe like an hour to drive across that area.   Michael: To piggyback off Tom's point. I don't have a population cutoff. I don't really think about Metro in the traditional sense because in different parts of the country, it can mean different things to different people. And so I'll usually call a property manager and say, Hey, if someone's going to work in the main employment corridor or whatever that looks like, whether it's financial district, that's the downtown area I'll ask, where is someone willing to live? Where are people that are working here living? And if the property manager tells me, Oh, and these areas great, that's my radius. If you will. I've invested in pretty rural areas, several hours outside of st. Louis. And there wasn't a whole lot of economy there, but there was a military base. And so that for me said, okay, this is good enough. Granted, I was pretty green, not, I don't know if I would make that investment again, but I got really lucky. So I'm less scientific when it comes to identifying a Metro and looking for markets to invest in and the population regard.   Emil: Yeah. I'm with you guys. I mean, for me, it's not even about urban or suburban. I dunno if that was part of the question, more so it's choosing a market that I think is good. And so like you mentioned St. Louis, St. Louis is one I invest in as well, and I'm in a suburb. That's probably like 20 minutes outside of the city. And I'm okay with that. As long as, like you said, people are usually commuting from the suburbs into the city as well. What I care more about is how is that city doing overall in terms of population growth are the returns there for what I'm looking for, those kinds of things. And so one thing that Tom had mentioned in one of our previous episodes that I really like is, is it a big enough city where there's at least one professional sports team? I think that's kind of like 1% rule, 2% rule. I think that's a great just first sniff test to make sure a market is even worth investing in, at least for me, I know people will invest in some of these, some tertiary markets let's call it like a Birmingham or something where there isn't..   Tom: We're going to count AAA base And the Birmingham bombers or whatever they're called. That counts, their in.   Emil: They're going to break through to the MLB soon   Tom: AA baseball is smaller, but AAA, it counts. Yeah!   Emil: So, you know, there are people investing there who are doing really well, but just for me personally, I've always liked that as a good test. Like, is there even a professional sports team? Is this a big enough city to have a professional sports team? And those are the kinds of cities I choose to invest in.   Tom: And just to correct myself, it's the Birmingham barons and they're affiliated with the Chicago white Sox from 1986 to the present. Yeah. So go ahead. Continue.   Emil: That's it. I'm done.   Michael: All right. Let's move on. Alright, Maddie from Facebook is asking and big shout out to Mattie. She's a friend of mine. She says, what is your advice for a first time home buyer looking to invest in real estate or buy their first property? So I talk a lot in the Academy about this and something that's kind of a hybrid of the two, because it's not necessarily a black or white decision of, I have to invest in rental property, or I have to purchase a property for me to live in is a house hack. And so if you are willing to kind of be a bit of a landlord in your own home, how's, that can be a really great way to go. And for those of you who don't know what a house hack is, basically what it involves is buying a property that has more space or rooms than you need for yourself or your family and renting out the other space or rooms.   So whether that's buying a four bed house and renting out their three rooms or buying a duplex triplex or quad, you can live somewhere and make cashflow alongside living potentially for free. So it's a really great way to get involved with real estate investing as well as tackle having a to live. And so if that's not within your budget, something that I talk a lot about is that I invested out of state for 10 years and was renting the whole time. And so in my market that just made sense to do. And so I said, you know what? I'm going to invest in, invest and invest and generate enough cashflow to ultimately at one point in time, purchase a property and have my cash flowing assets pay for that primary residence, which is something I've been lucky enough to have done.   Tom: Yeah. Similar situation I rented for a while, while owning rental properties. I think you're right, Michael, in that it's a product of where we live in that getting into a house to own and live in is just wildly expensive versus being able to buy an investment property. But my piece of advice would be two parts. One have a process, have a buy box. And so you're making these decisions, not subjectively. And the second one would be to have a bias for action. And I've been saying there's a lot lately. I think a lot of people get into paralysis by analysis. They overthink it. They're trying to make their best deal, their first deal. But that's, I guarantee you, that's not going to be the case. And there's just so much value to getting into the game.   Michael: Put me in coach, give me a chance.   Tom: Yeah.   Emil: Yeah. I love what you guys mentioned here. My only addition here, and this is a personal opinion, a lot of people might look at their primary residence as an investment. And I never look at it like an investment. I think it's a place where you call it your own. It's a place to raise your family. And there's a lot of benefits of owning your own home. It might end up being an investment, right? You could choose somewhere that appreciates. And if you think about it, your mortgages in a way, like some for savings as you pay down your loan and you build some equity, but considering that they front load a lot of the interest in your principal, payment is low in the beginning. I don't see it as much of an investment. So if you're looking at this as which one is the better investment, I think you're better off going and buying rental properties. Cause those are, you treat those like an investment, whereas your home, it's a personal decision that you make because you want a home. You want to, for whatever reason. So that's the only thing I'd add here.   Tom: I'm going to digress just a little bit. It's really funny. The offer making process of an investment property versus your personal residence. Cause like with an investment property, it's like, you know, I feel really good saying no and walking away, this is my firm number. Oh, you don't want, I'll get outta here. And then with your personal property, it's like, you know, you have your significant other. And it's like, Oh, they countered this much. I'm like, Oh, we should probably do it. I really want that house. The psychology of the negotiation process is just, I'm not good at doing it on my personal property, but for like my investment properties, I'm pretty disciplined. It's just really funny how the psychology of it is pretty different.   Emil: A hundred percent   Michael: Just to add to that. The primary property that I bought, I knew that it would one day become a rental. So I evaluated it like a rental. And so I was able to go in with the offer because I would have that same issue Tom so I treated it like a rental throughout the entirety of the process.   Tom: Incepted yourself   Michael: That's right!   Emil: It's such an emotional decision buying your primary residence. You know, you walk in, you're like, we love this. We love the location. We love the kitchen, the layout. And you're like, it's, it changes things. It becomes an emotional purchase, not one that's necessarily rational. All right, next question is from an anonymous voicemail. We bats. So let's listen to it on that one.   Anonymous: Hey there Roofstock. What's the best type of loan or a short term, single family home, an arm, a balloon loan, 30 year fixed, what would you guys recommend. Thanks.   Tom: All right. So good question. So when you say short term rental, that could mean a couple different things. Is it a short time horizon that you're owning the property? Cause I think that's really relevant for the type of lending that you're getting. If you're talking about short term rental, as in just like a vacation rental, I would say, get, you know, whatever best terms you can get, I'm going to riff for a second on your hold period. Cause you can get a lot of cost savings in thinking about what type of loan to choose if you know, how long you want to hold the property for. So if you're planning to hold this with like a five year time horizon, that could be a good scenario where you would get an adjustable rate mortgage like you were referencing, just because the rates that you can get with an adjustable rates, those during that initial period can be significantly less expensive. There's risk in that if you're planning for a longer hold time, say like a 10 or 30 or whatever, how long, just because after that initial teaser period, the rates will jump up to whatever market rate is. So you get yourself in a little bit of risk. So my answer to your question and to paraphrase really quickly is if you plan to hold for a short period of time, it would definitely be advantageous to look at what kind of rates you can get with either a five to one arm or a 10 to one. But if you're planning to hold for a longer period, I wouldn't recommend that just because it's hard to say where interest rates are going to go and you're going to be subject to wherever the market rates are at. And if it is like a short term, as in like a vacation rental, I'd say get whatever best rates that you can get according to your planned hold time.   Michael: Piggybacking off Tom's answer. I think whole time is really the end all be all the determining factor here. And what's going to dictate kind of looking backwards. What type of loan you should get. I would say that if your whole time is five years, look at a seven year arm. And if your whole time in seven years look at a 10 year arm, because we have no idea what the market conditions are going to be like in five years from now. So you don't want to be forcing yourself to sell a property in five years because well, the market's in the tank. And so you can't sell for... Can't make a profit on your deal and interest rates have gone up. And so that will often lower sales prices and purchase prices because their purchasing power has been diminished. So give yourself a little bit of breathing room. I would say above and beyond what your plan hold period is. And also a lot of times the savings to be held on arms aren't materially significant. And what I mean by that is if you're different than monthly payment is 50 bucks a month, you've got to decide for yourself, okay, is that $50 a month savings with a lower interest rate, worth it to have a shorter term interest term versus getting the 30 year fixed, which you know is never going to change the life of that loan. You could always refinance if rates drop that kind of thing. So the 30 year long time horizon should be significantly more expensive in order to deter you into an arm, I would say.   Emil: All right, next question is coming from Elan, who submitted on Facebook, Elan is asking, how can we estimate flipping costs? How deep should we go into flip? I, how much should we spend on a remodel? All right. So Elan's question is around flipping costs. How do you estimate those out?   Michael: There's a really great book that Bigger Pockets put out that's titled Estimating Rehab Costs. I'm pretty sure that's the title. And I think that can be a really great place to start. Um, and there's no substitute, I would say for getting a quote, an estimate from contractors and get numerous quotes and estimates and bids from numerous contractors, because everybody's going to have a little bit different price. That would be your best way as to how to estimate those costs. And then also chatting with local investors, local property managers, as to ballpark costs, they're going to have rough ideas of what things cost in that given market. And that's going to vary from market to market. So we can't say, Oh, do we have a house in San Francisco is going to cost the same to rehab a house in Northern Kentucky. Those two markets just aren't the same.  And as far as how far to go on your rehab or on your remodel, that also, I would suggest talking to your property manager because they're going to be able to give you some insight into what upgrades are going to bring you the most rent. Also chatting with an agent about what upgrades are going to bring in the most resale value. Once you've targeted your demographic, who you're going to sell to whether that's owner occupants or whether that's in other investors, because an investment flip is very different than an owner occupant flip. So that's what I would say on that.   Tom: Yeah. And my feedback, a really common process for these type of flippers is you partner, you have a general contractor who knows exactly what you're doing that you trust and you have some sort of relationship with, and you get a property in contract and during your inspection contingency, that's when you can have him go and price everything out. So you have that contingency to get out. If the deal doesn't pencil out, but the real key takeaway is don't buy a property and then try to figure out what the costs are like, have that as a part of your process is during your transaction contingency. So you can get out if it doesn't pencil, you know, you make your best guess when you're submitting an offer on what you think the costs are going to be. And that's where the, you know, books like Bigger Pockets books is really great. But once you actually have money, skin in the game with an earnest money deposit and you're in a transaction, you want to get that number of what it's going to be. And sure, there's sometimes going to be surprises of when they open up a wall or whatnot, but you're putting your best foot forward during the transaction period of getting an actual cost from contractor partner or, you know, vendor that you're using, that you can use real numbers when making that decision to close the transaction. So that would be my feedback.   Emil: Cool. And then, yeah, last thing is, you know, if you're working with an agent in the area and they're going and looking at homes for you, depending on how you're buying. So one thing I like to do when I'm vetting agents is ask them if they are not like, can they walk through the property and give you at least some idea of estimation, right? Like, okay, a new floor, this much square footage, how much is that going to cost? A lot of them will actually be pretty upfront with you. They'll say I'm not really good at that, but I have a general contractor I work with who can come with me when we inspect it and look at it and do all of that. So that's kind of one thing I like to vet and ask for. Just cause again, we're relying on a team boots on the ground there. So leveraging their knowledge and experience to help us make all these estimates. All right. So we still actually have a lot more questions that we didn't get a chance to go through today that we're going to cover in a future episode, like Michael mentioned, keep submitting these questions. We'll just keep doing future AMS to tackle whatever questions you guys have. And with that, we'll catch you guys in the next episode.   Tom: Happy Investing   Michael: Happy Investing

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Professor Holger Volk, guru of neurology and neurosurgery, though internationally renowned for his (and his teams) work on epilepsy.   Holger spoke to Shailen in the first RVC clinical podcast and being sentimental we thought we’d ask him back for our hundredth podcast. A lot has happened in the last 6 years and we thought that we’d catch up with what has changed. We hope that you enjoy.

We spend some of this episode talking about grief in pets left behind when one of their companions has gone*.   We catch up on some of Kim's regulars and a Weimaraner who fell asleep during his treatment. Kim always takes this to be a good sign!   And Kim lets us know a bit about an upcoming CPD course she is taking near Reading. More on this in due course.   To get in touch: email vetphysiolife@theralph.vet or via the website.   (* Shailen is the founder of The Ralph Site, a non-profit pet loss support website and Facebook community:   Website Public Facebook page Private Facebook group)

To kick start the return of the RVC Clinical podcast we speak to Karen Humm, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Karen was last heard here when she spoke to Shailen about this disease in number 23 of the podcast, two years ago now. As with most of the diseases we treat, prevention is far better than cure. There has been a paper published earlier in the year by groups at Bristol and Swansea University (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26830203) that shows the prevalence can change dramatically depending upon your location. What is it like in your area? If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #rvcpod; or use the RVC facebook page).
