Mark Podolsky is known as the Land Geek, a title he’s earned for focusing his business on raw land investing. He’s been in the business for over 16 years and has completed over 5,000 land deals with an amazing average ROI of 300% on cash flips, and more than 1000% on deals sold with financing terms. This is quite the achievement if you consider the first deal he made in 2001 was worth only $3000.

Mark says his reason for getting into investing was to simply escape the rat race. Prior to his current business, he was trapped in a state of “no work, no pay” status. Top that with high amounts of stress and not having enough “me” time, Mark knew he had to find a way out fast. Now Mark barely works 5 hours a week, and has created his business in such a way that not only is it mostly automated, but also manned by a great team with the same vision he possesses.

Thank you Mark for taking the time to share your expertise on raw land investing with us.

Jay Conner has been in the real estate industry for over 14 years and is known as an expert in private lending. He has over $52 million worth of real estate transactions under his belt and runs a fully automated business, allowing him to manage his company working not more than ten hours a week, earning no less than a seven figure income.

Jay’s road to becoming a private lending expert started when the bank cut him off during the crash of 2008. Desperate to salvage deals, he was forced to learn how to raise private funds less than two weeks after being cut off. He did his research and was able to create a system that combined the best aspects of all that he learned. His ordeal became a blessing in disguise in the end, as his system was able to raise over $2 million in less than 90 days in private funds, stating the first person he approached handed over $250,000 in private money. It blew him away to realize that his system worked the way it did and raising private money wasn’t entirely complicated as he imagined.

Needless to say, his private funding accomplishment has only helped his career reach new heights and to this day, Jay credits the banker who cut him off.

Five Key Points:

  1. The number one thing that keeps real estate investors from moving forward is not having the funding for the deals.
  2. Private money puts you in control.
  3. The most dangerous number in any business is one: having eggs only in one basket.
  4. Only 13% of for sale by owners will sell in some creative way, the other 87% just want all the money.
  5. The great thing about private money is you can use it for commercial investments too.

Thank you Jay for taking the time to share your expertise on private money with us.

Aloha from Honolulu! Lane Kawaoka is a city project engineer and professional engineer by trade. Since he possesses that engineer’s mindset, Lane decided to apply it to a career in real estate.

Lane's passion project is called Simple Passive Cash Flow. He's a mentor who helps his clients get started in and navigate the tricky world of real estate investing. Lane partners with investors who are busy professionals like engineers, lawyers and doctors who want to get into the real estate game but don't lack the time and expertise to understand all of the intricacies of the real estate investing world.

Real estate is like an intense cross fit workout – you have to “chip away at it” and you will be successful.

 Cash flow markets versus Appreciation markets:

  • Appreciation markets are defined by Rental Value Ratio, which is the monthly rent divided by the cost of the home. The appreciation areas or primary markets are places where everybody wants to live. When demand is high what happens is the rental value ratios get pushed down.
  • Cash flow markets like Birmingham, AL, Atlanta, GA Indianapolis, IN, Kansas City, MO and Memphis, TN don't experience explosive appreciation. However these markets guarantee enough cash flow to replace your working income, giving you the freedom to do what you want.

Pro Tip: Building an effective network – your net worth is your network. Always be adding value to others.

M.C. Laubscher’s a wealth architect and strategist, educator, and financial freedom fighter. He’s the President and CEO of Valhalla Wealth Financial and creator and the host of the popular business and investing podcast, Cashflow Ninja.

M.C.’s mission is to help as many people as possible eliminate the control that banks and financial institutions have over their lives by building their wealth in a variety of ways outside of Wall Street.

He believes the best way to achieve this in the Information Age is by reclaiming the banking function in your own financial life through the structuring of an efficient cash flow management system and creating and building assets that provide multiple streams of income.

M.C. teaches actionable education to his listeners and helps his client's collapse time in their wealth plan and achieve 40 years of financial results in 10 years or less.

M.C. challenges existing societal belief systems and misinformation around concepts such as money, saving, investing, wealth and retirement.

The 3-Question approach towards achieving financial freedom:

  • What do you want? What do you want in life with your health? What do you want with your money and your investing? What do you want from the relationships in your family?
  • Why do you want it/why does it matter? For clarity, you have to know the reason why do you want it and what do you want.
  • Who do you need to become in order to get what you want? Customize and design processes and systems get you to where you want to go.

Pro Tip: Set a target and be crystal clear about what you want in the next quarter, the next six months, or the next year.

Ike Mutabanna is a real estate entrepreneur and the president of Dallas, Texas based IHM Business Group. Ike also hosts the successful podcast, “The Side Business Show,” where listeners learn how to grow their wealth through running a wide variety of side businesses.

Over the last 15 years Ike has spent time as co-founder, president and CTO in a variety of startups and turnaround companies. He’s originally from India where he attended the University of Bombay, India and earned his BE degree. Ike also has a MS degree in Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.

Ike is an active commercial real estate investor and multifamily syndicator. In his downtime you will find Ike pursuing his newfound passion for mountain climbing, having recently started training for technical climbs on rock cliffs.

The 3X advantages of syndication versus single-family investment:

1) Risk diversification is much better in a ten-unit apartment building versus three single-family houses.

2) Economies of scale is better in terms of net income. The more net income allows you to hire property managers, allowing you to focus your time and energy on further investments.

3) Value appreciation - you have the ability to force appreciation with creative strategies to increase rent and overall income and push the value of your properties.

Favorite quote: “When you want something really, really bad and you take the action to achieve it, the universe comes together to help you achieve it.” The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho.

Every deal starts with a financial model. Brendon Bergen is the Director of Asset Management for Affirmed Housing Group in San Diego. He embraces the team aspect of the real estate game and is always on the lookout for the most efficient way to operate an asset and add value for the residents.

 

Brendon’s company looks after the environment and has implemented solar powered electrical systems at their properties in order to strive for Net Zero electric. Solar offers a triple win solution; the owner benefits, the city benefits and the tenants pay a fraction of “on grid” electrical prices. They install high efficiency water systems as well.

 

Brendan loves working on repositioning older, rundown assets. He tackles the challenge of each project head on and enjoys witnessing the tangible transformation of the renovations. Improving the asset and the tenant experience results in win, win.

 

Brendon moved from Cleveland to California to pursue his real estate career right at the beginning of ‘The Great Recession’ – the worst time to be knocking on doors to interview for a job in real estate. He relied on the grit that he developed on the wresting mat to manage the “no’s” that he received job prospecting. His perseverance paid off and Brendon landed a job as an analyst for a portfolio holding retail centers, office and industrial real estate.

 

Brendon’s number one tip for success in the real estate game is to be resilient. He highly recommends joining the Urban Land Institute as a networking platform and a way to learn who the players are in your market.

 

Thank you Brendon for taking time out of your busy day to share your success tips with us today.

Riana King is an Arizona native with fourteen years of experience in the real estate industry. For the past seven years, she has worked for Real Property Management (RPM), which has locations in Scottsdale, AZ and Tucson, AZ. Riana manages residential long-term, short-term vacation, multi-family, and commercial properties and her clients range from accidental landlords to clients with much larger portfolios.

According to Riana, the most important thing to look for in a property management company is a solid foundation. She warns against part-time property managers and one-man shops that might not have the time or resources to fully devote themselves to each client. A sign of a good company, she says, is the ability to call them and get a real person on the phone right away. At RPM, Riana prides herself on her own communication and reachability.

Landlords don’t have to be local to Arizona to take advantage of Riana’s services. Riana uses technology to keep out-of-state and even overseas clients in the loop and acts as their eyes and ears. If her clients need someone to go in-person to check on their properties, Riana is the one to do it.

Investment property is a business, Riana says, and you have to be able to trust the other people on your team so that you can use your own time wisely. Riana works to keep her strategies in line with her what her clients want. She says that the key is to find a property manager with the resources of a large company, but who treats you as an individual and helps you reach your specific goals.

Property managers like Riana spend most of their day “putting out fires,” which can be stressful for some but which Riana finds exciting and motivating. She lives by the words of former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, “Discipline yourself so others won’t need to.”

Connect with Riana King and Real Property Management on Facebook or check out RPM’s Scottsdale and Tucson websites.

Thank you Riana for taking time out to share some great property management tips with us.

Tom Charek offers his clients the knockout combination of his experience as a large-scale commercial builder and his training as an engineer. Tom is no stranger to large-scale projects and completed $400 million dollars of development in 18 months with the Geis Companies in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tom combines his experience on the construction and project management side of a deal with his knowledge of business structure and finance to deliver a total package to his clients who invest in a range of development from apartment buildings to hotels to office buildings. Tom will tell you if a deal is bad early on so that you don’t waste time and money and you can keep moving forward.

The three questions that you must ask when evaluating a development opportunity are:

1) is the land good?

2) is the city good?

3) is it easy to build?

Tom entered the real estate investing game when he was looking to own his first home. He fixed and flipped his way to success by purchasing and renovating a tri-plex, collecting the rent, managing the property and exiting for a profit. A few years of hard work and hustle will pay off if you are willing to make sacrifices and self-manage your investment properties.

Many investors hold onto properties for too long. Tom recommends selling an investment property after you renovate so that you maximize the improvement value and you do not have to spend time, effort and money a second time. Trends change so plan your exit and renovations accordingly.

Tom encourages investors to study their local market and determine where for the same rental rate you can purchase or build for the lowest cost.

Thank you Tom for taking some time out to share your business insights with us.

Host John Carney shares his beliefs about taking massive amounts of focused action to achieve success in business and in life.

John references three books that helped him grow as an entrepreneur and real estate investor. These books taught him how to focus his attention, cut out the chatter and accelerate his career as a real estate investor and developer.

John believes that every action matters. Consistently working hard is the key ingredient to success in the real estate game. All of the action, mistakes, lessons and wins that you have accumulated over the course of your life matter today and in the future. 

All of the “little wins” add up to bigger wins. You will have more “little wins” over time and those are the lessons that you want to recall when you encounter obstacles. Tap into your past experience to keep moving forward. 

We all have multiple tasks to accomplish every day. A hierarchy of priorities exists, and we have to remember to focus on what’s important now.

Books:

The 10X Rule by Grant Cardnone

Do you want to stamp “Guarantee” on your success? Apply a multiple of 10X to what you do in life and every action you take. Be accountable for your actions and the results they produce – both good and bad.

 

The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday

Ryan Holiday examines the writing and wisdom of Marcus Aurelius. “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” We face resistance in our lives the minute we wake up each morning. We encounter obstacles in our life every day, at home with our families and at the office in our chosen professions. We have choices. We are in control of how we react to challenges and failures. Our reactions determine either success or failure.

 

The Way Of The Seal by Mark Divine, Commander, US Navy SEALs (Retired)

Learn how to become laser focused on the task at hand. This book is about forging mental toughness as the key to a better life, better relationships and a better business. Being physically strong is important in life but without mental and spiritual strength we will fall short of maximizing our true potential. The good news is that mental toughness can be taught and forged through practice and discipline.

Key points:

  1. Real estate investors face obstacles every day. The Obstacle becomes the way.
  2. Apply the 10X Rule to every action
  3. There is no short cut to success in real estate. It takes consistent effort over time to make it.
  4. Every action matters – you draw experience and lessons from all of your actions.
  5. Have a hierarchy of priorities and stay focused on what’s important now.

Thank you for tuning in to my first solo podcast. I truly hope that you took away some actionable advice. Until next week, work hard, play hard, and profit hard.

Michael Gibbons is a highly respected investment banker with decades of experience successfully owning and operating multi family real estate. Mike is the senior managing director, principal and co-founder of Brown Gibbons Lang and Company (BGL) with offices across the USA and Global M&A Partner offices in more than 40 countries across 5 continents, which allows BGL to deliver their clients unparalleled access to corporations, investors, and opportunities globally.

Michael always had an interest in real estate and started out with a few doubles and a 4-plex. He learned how to install toilets and more importantly what it will take to run a real estate ownership organization effectively. The key is to build up the number of units that you are managing so that you don’t have to personally do all of the work.

Michael and his team are dedicated to providing well-managed, quality multifamily homes. Michael owns an interest in over 10,000 units and lives by the philosophy that each unit must be “good enough for mom to live in.” He believes that everyone deserves to be proud of where they live, and the apartment communities that he owns provide a safe, clean, well-maintained and friendly environment that residents are proud to call home.

Michael’s winning formula is to look out for undermanaged and/or poorly maintained properties and apply a high standard to maintenance and management. You must apply social responsibility to your real estate investments and success will follow.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Dan Burkons joins us in the locker room today to share his story of success as multifamily sales agent. Dan’s kicked off his career by listing and selling 14 units in East Cleveland 15 years ago. Today he’s closing $58 Million dollar deals. Everyone starts small and grows bigger by working hard over time.

Dan has worked with clients who started with one small deal, quit their day jobs and scaled to 10,000 doors. He believes that having sold management in place is a critical component of success. Pairing a profitable operating and management system with private equity is required to successfully scale.

Something will always go wrong closing a commercial deal. Find out who is creating the roadblock and what their motivation is. You will overcome the obstacle by drilling down into the problem, identifying the root person raising the objection and getting to the decision maker to find a way to solve the issue.

Ice hockey taught Dan that hard work is fun if you like the people who you are doing it with. He attributes his success in business to working hard with people he enjoys working with.

Thank you Dan for taking time out of your busy day to share your story with us.

With over $1 Million in sales by the age of 21, earning a “C” in marketing class didn’t make sense to Jack Gibson.

Jack’s been a driven entrepreneur since his freshman year in college. He powered through a tough start in the nutrition supplement industry and established a multimillion-dollar business before he walked at graduation.

When the oil market tanked, Jack decided that it was time to start investing the income from his business in real estate and multiply his passive income. 90 days and 100 hours of podcasts gave him a level of comfort to get started in the real estate game. Jack actively recruited his team and was able to scale his real estate holdings to 70 plus doors in less than two years.

Jack was able to add value to his existing business network by offering opportunities in real estate and founded High Returns Real Estate to help other people become successful in the industry.

Jack's advice for winning more to keep your word and treat everyone with integrity.

Thank you Jack for taking some time out to share your story and business insights with us.
