Sharath Kamal Achanta won the Oman Open in March this year despite playing under anxiety and his family concerns as the coronavirus pandemic was starting to spread. This win at 37 shows his longevity in Table Tennis is no mean feat. He was already 20 years old when he played at the national level, considered usually to be a late start. But he has since gone on to become the first Indian table tennis player ever to become nine times Senior National Champion and won medals at Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, and represented India at three Olympic Games. He is also the first table tennis player to be awarded the Padma Shri and through his career given huge visibility to the sport. Despite starting with no recognition as a junior player and an injury that almost put a stop to his playing days at the age of 32, Sharath's career has exemplified the importance of grit and patience for an athlete. Listen to his fascinating journey despite the heartbreaks, hitting rock bottom and bouncing back.

Isabel White's resume reads like something out of a superhero comic book for professionals: After losing her mother to breast cancer as an early teen, she went on to play Division I Field Hockey and Softball at Yale, despite having blown out her knee in High School. She worked for Bill Clinton in the White House, Harvey Weinstein at Miramax, and then spent two years in Costa Rica, where she discovered Yoga... and a husband... temporarily. Complacent, she is not (the list of her other various careers is extensive, but you'll have to listen to find out). Luckily for us, the self-deprecating humor she employs throughout our conversation also makes her accessible to the average human. She doesn't take any of her accomplishments too seriously, which is quite possibly the exact reason she has been able to pivot so gracefully again and again. SHOW NOTES: Dealing with her mother's breast cancer diagnosis at 9 years old, (4:24). Her mother's brief stint seeking treatment in the woods of Oregon with the Cult leader of the popular Wild, Wild Country in the late 1980's, (5:26).

Isabel's best traits that have led to all of her success in so many varied fields - collaboration & competence are top, (20:23). Where and why Isabel has NOT always succeeded, (21:29). Maturing and figuring out what you're willing to put up with, and where you can thrive, (24:24). Working at Miramax, (24:43). Why she chose to leave the entertainment business after achieving a relatively high level of success, (25:24). Working on the political show, Cross-fire, (27:53). Working for Harvey Weinstein at Miramax in 2001, (31 :56). How a vacation to Costa Rica at age 29 led to a marriage and a two year dropping out of society, (34:20).

Becoming a certified yoga instructor, despite already having a fulltime job, (48:37). Examining the inability to relax and the drive that causes Isabel to pursue such a vast array of expertise, (49:46).

The importance of relationship building, and its effect on Isabel's success, (59:58).

SimplePassiveCashflow.com/clubPardon the grammar - I'm an Engeneer, Enginere, Engenere... I'm good with math!________Here are the Show Notes________Dealing with an eviction: “Hi Lane! I delivered an evection notice to tenants yesterday and had the opportunity to speak with husband at the door. He stated that he and his wife had both started new jobs and would be able to make one full payment in a week (this was the story for seemingly a month or two) and would be able to make a partial payment in 10 days. Before we proceeded forward with an agreement, wanted to see if that works for you. They are currently $3,000 behind before for a total of two months. Here is what I did…I okayed the concession to give more time. I requested some sort of proof of new job status (a hire letter or email). I am more than willing to work with people… These have been long tenants of almost a couple years and B+ /A- home that rents for $1500 a month.Caveat… I am really near to selling these properties this year and don’t really want to rock the boat in terms of enforcing long-term behavior.Revamping my turnkey rental content – simplepassivecashflow.com/turnkeyI have currently sold 2 of 10 SFH rentals (P&L offer)One of them Columbia is had $27K to get back online. Going to pay 37K to sell retail. Another property Riverwood just went vacant. Going to pay 20-30K to sell retail too. Talked with my team – PM, Contractor, couple other hui membersIs it a good area to go retailWill I recoup capital overlay based on comps Soon I will unrolling my private lending platform. CrowdfundAloha.com! So if you are looking for a 1st lien property with my partners let me know. We are talking about even providing turnkey services.This is not really a money making things cause the margins are just really tough these days. After over 1000 strategy calls with investors and coaching clients over the past couple years here is what I tell W2 employees... For those who are able to save more than $30k a year or have substantial liquidity (over 200k), being a landlord and especially flipping is a lot of work. If you like it cool/good for you... but just remember why we got into this... To be free from a JOB. A lot of us (80%) who stumble upon simplepassivecashflow.com and start drinking Kool-Aide will be financially free in 4-7 years pending taking action. So I always urge people to start with the end in mind and take a more passive approach.Do the math here… you with 300 dollars per property (2 months of work to buy a turnkey rental) you are going to need 20-40 of these to replace your income. I have 10 of these and have systems in place but have 1-2 evictions a year and 3-4 big things that happen. Image if I had 30, just 3 x those numbers.Directly investing in a turnkey rental or small MFH is a good way to start to learn and build up the war chest to go into my scaleable investments such as private placement syndications. Whatever you do, try to be as close to the investment as possible. This is the fundamental problem I have with Wall Street who takes too much fees off the hard-working efforts of the middle class. Looking at some deals. So folks in the Hui Deal Pipeline Club (who have reached out to me and built a relationship) will see those really soon. :P I hope I have enough liquidity… I might need to borrow some money :PSingle Family Homes becoming a legitimate asset class – Spring 2018 ConferenceThe lending requirements and new loan products is slowly changing. I know a lot of you have heard that Short Term Rentals (Air Bnb) income is starting to become part of the loan calculations.Something I'm following is lending on large portfolios of single-family homes. Some of the highlights:1) up to 10-year term with 1.25 DSCR2) portfolios minimum size of 50 properties3) assumablePilot program details download here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aTIbru2HEPbw_KLHTvU5-Iyk0aoQB8GxLook even a SFH conference - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cI15DnBUn8LRA54NTCh667exeR3OtlIuOther Fannie Changes - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WumUWsduuLnHqDi6IJXNipX7IsT9AUFaAirBnb lending requirements looseningI read this following article that described rent concession in a few major cities that I like as apartment markets.http://www.nreionline.com/multifamily/more-apartment-landlords-offer-free-rent-lure-tenantsHere is another article citing industrial as the sector to be in:http://www.nreionline.com/industrial-cre-market-study/exclusive-research-clear-sailing-industrial-sector-through-2018My takeaway is that this is important to monitor especially if you are developing because this is a leading indicator of softness in the market. It might be economic reasons or just because a bunch of new build inventory is coming online in that area. Either way…Robert Kiyosaki has a saying, "there are three sides to a coin". People argue that its a good time to buy or bad time to buy. For example "mfh” is overheated or commercial is getting killed by Amazon and e-commerce. I think these are mental justifications by tire kickers not to do anything.Sophisticated investors live on the edge of the “coin”. They buy deals out our reach of amateurs due to the lack for network/knowledge. These opportunities are undervalued, with undermarket rents, with value-add opportunity.They are patient and don’t stray from standards that make them get crushed in a market correction. (Cashflow from other investments make this possible) They invest following the macro and micro trends and don’t gamble on gimmicks such as guessing where Amazon’s next HQ is going or where the hurricanes just crushed a market.The trouble is as an outsider is figuring out which of these deals transcends the two side of coin and is on the edge. And starting out its going to be slim pickings due to lack of network but you have to push through this rough part.I am from the camp that you need to become an expert or get beyond the surface level investor stuff in some freebie pdf guide or video. Or just find the right people to work with. To many people get shinny object syndrome and float from sector to sector, from a money-making activity to another, read book after book and never get anywhere. You see these people at a lot of networking events. There is a lot of movement but no tangible results. This is where coaching comes in but for some people not able to get over having another person call them out on their BS you need to get laser focused and take massive action or quit fooling yourself.I’ll be at the notebuyerbootcamp on the panel for syndication in Chicago next week.
