This week we're going to speaking with multifamily investment and property management expert, Mike Sherwood. Mike began his real estate investing career in 2007 like many of us do, which was by purchasing a small multifamily property to get his feet wet.  He bought this investment with the intention of living in one side and renting out the other which proved to be a very profitable approach for his first deal. This initial exposure to the world of real estate investing was all Mike needed to know confirm that he had found his calling as a real estate investor Fast forward a few years and Mike quickly jumped with both feet into the business by starting a full service property management company, fixing and flipping properties, running a local real estate investment club, as well as building his own multifamily real estate portfolio. And get this, this was all while working a full-time job. Here's What You'll Learn How he built his multifamily portfolio and property management company while working full-ti

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip we're going to talk about the importance if figuring out your "WHY", and getting a clear picture on the reasons you want to be a real estate investor. This is an extremely important exercise and is one that I suggest every investor, both new and seasoned, do in order to create a roadmap for their investing career. This is an exercise which I learned from Jeremy Cyrier who was a past guest on our show and is a very successful real estate broker, trainer, and investor. I went through this exercise when I was first introduced to Jeremy and it's had a significant impact on my overall focus as a real estate investor. For example, my WHY is the following: Spending as much time as possible with my family is priceless because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow and commercial real estate investing provides the vehicle that can generate enough passive income for my family and I to live the lifestyle that we choose and spend the maximum amount of time together traveling the world and

This week we're going to speaking with multifamily investment expert and hotel entrepreneur, Chris Winterhalter.

In addition to his current investments he’s also active in a national extended stay development project, and based on his financial projections the numbers look pretty darn exciting. Chris is a top-notch guy and I’m positive that you’ll enjoy our interview together. Here's What You'll Learn How he got started as investor during one of the worst times in real estate history which was during the financial crisis of 2008 What qualities initially attracted him to multi-family apartments as a primary investment vehicle How he transitioned from doing single family fix and flips to purchasing his first 12 unit multifamily building What economic fundamen

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip we're going to talk CAP rates and why you as an investor need not to get too hung up on this arbitrary number when looking at deals...especially value-add deals. This topic comes as a direct result of a deal our company has been pursuing now for the past few weeks and just got an accepted offer on. I'm going to provide the background of the story regarding this specific deal so you can fully understand why if you were only searching for deals based on a specific cap rate you probably would have passed on this property and you wouldn't be alone because I'm sure there are many others who passed on this deal I'm about to tell you about in today's show. Also, I wanted to give a shout out again to Marco Santarelli from Norada Real Estate Investments for his contribution to the topic we covered in last week's cash flow Friday tip #18. If you haven't had the chance to listen to it I suggest you go and check it out, and if you're not familiar with Marco's blog be sure to go and ha

Chris is as real as they come and I’m positive that you’ll enjoy his story and gain a ton of value from what he has to share with us today. Here's What You'll Learn What it took for him to realize that single family investing was a slow way to building massive wealth as a real estate investor The story behind his first multifamily deal and what he learned from the experience. How he was able to use the residential bird dogs he already had relationships with to help him find multifamily deals The economic drivers he looks for in markets he invests in Why you need to become an absolute expert in any given marke

This week we're going to speaking with real estate and investment expert, Salvatore Buscemi. The topic of discussion for today's show is regarding the wave of CMBS loan maturities that are taking place right now and will continue over the coming years and how we as investors can find opportunity in these distressed commercial assets. To provide you a clearer picture of why this represents an exciting opportunity, these CMBS loans are typically 10 year terms which means most of these loans coming due were originated during the peak real estate markets of 2005-2008 before the financial crash of 2008 and majority of them were very high leverage loans (as high as  90% LTV) and a large quantity were interest only terms which means they're are upside down in value and would require a large amount of cash from the borrower in order to get out from underneath it. Sal also is giving a free copy of his book "making the yield" to the first 20 listeners who go to the website and register www.MakingTheYield.com  Here's

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'm going to share with you the 10 reasons why I think that every real estate investor should hire a professional 3rd party property management company. Now let me clarify, this applies to basically all asset types except mobile home parks and maybe self storage properties where your management is on-site and is typically employed by the property owner themselves. If your goal is to own a large rental portfolio of income properties then you'll need to become an expert at outsourcing and delegating responsibilities and hiring a professional property management company is one of the most important.

This week we're going to speaking with real estate investor, David Fontana. David started thinking about real estate at the very young age of 14, an age when most of us were more interested in riding our bikes or playing a game of catch. His young interest in real estate stemmed from a fear of his dad running out of work and not being able to provide for his family and David knew that creating a perpetual income stream through real estate could ease that fear, but his father thought otherwise. His father thought tenants were nothing more than headaches and he wanted no part of it Fast forward a number of years and David went on to build a multi-million dollar contracting firm, has built or renovated more than 250 homes, built 100 condo units, built more than 5 million sq ft of commercial and office space and has built quite the impressive rental portfolio. To date David has 68 rental units in his portfolio with a goal to get to 300 units by 2018. Here's What You'll Learn What intrigued David about real es

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'm going to share with you an easy method for finding individuals with Self Directed IRA's who can make ideal candidates for becoming an active investor or private lender for your next deal. Unfortunately, we can't just go and purchase a list of names and mailing addresses from a list broker for these individuals who have self directed IRA's as that would be too easy and everyone would be doing it already. What we can do though is use this little secret method that I'm going to teach you in today's show to find those who have self directed IRA's and who are already actively buying or lending on real estate using their IRA which means they already know the benefits and are essentially semi-warm leads or prospects. What does all of this mean for you? Well,  this means  you'll be able to directly target millions of dollars of self directed IRA funds which can act as an excellent source of capital for your RE deals. So, in today's show,  I'll  break down this process for you
