Our guest for this week’s show is Deferred Sales Trust Expert, Richard Hershey.

In today’s show, I’ll be speaking with Richard about this 1031 exchange alternative called the deferred sales trust. If you’ve ever been involved in a 1031 transaction before then you know that the short time constraints can be absolutely nerve wrecking and a failed 1031 can leave your money tied up for up to 6 months, and worst yet, a failed 1031 means that all those capital gains you were trying to avoid paying will now be fully realized. Well, welcome to what I’d like to refer to as your 1031 plan "B". Whether you’re a new investor or seasoned pro, I’m positive that you’ll get a ton of value from my interview with Richard today.

In this show with Richard you’re going to learn:

• What exactly a deferred sales trust is and how this estate planning instrument can offer you an alternative to a 1031 exchange and actually become a “plan B” or failsafe in case you encounter a failed 1031 exchange,
• The benefits of being able to purchase investments other than just real estate from your sales proceeds by use of the deferred sales trust. These investments could be bonds, stocks, annuities, etc.
• The costs and fees associated with this type of structure.
• How, we real estate investors can use this as a strategy when dealing with sellers who don’t have an interest in buying more property and who also have a fully depreciated asset that will have some major tax consequences should they sell. In my business I deal with a lot of mom and pop sellers who are in this exact scenario where a deferred sales trust would be the perfect way for them to sell their property without having to exchange into another active real estate investment while still mitigating their exposure to uncle sam.

This week's Cash Flow Friday tip is regarding finding a sponsor for your commercial real estate deal. If you’re brand new to the business and don’t have a track record of owning larger commercial properties then it’s quite common that in order for you to qualify for financing, you’ll need to bring an experienced partner onto the team, one who has a strong track record in the asset type you’re looking to acquire as well as a healthy financial statement; and this person would be referred to as a sponsor.

I’ll be sharing with you a few relatively simple methods you can use to secure a sponsor for your deal.

This week I'm going to share with you a case-study from a fellow podcast listener who after setting a goal to purchase his first apartment complex within 6 months was able to successfully close on a 38 unit property in Kansas City. He achieved this by following a simple process of making just one cold call per day to different property owners within his target markets who owned buildings within the size parameters he wanted to acquire. Tune in to hear the exact system he used.

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real Estate and Parking Lot Expert, John Roy.

In today’s discussion with John, we’re going to discuss the little known niche of parking lot investing. John is one of the foremost experts in the industry and spends time on both the investment side by personally owning parking lots as well as running a full service brokerage that solely specializes on parking lot sales.

My time spent with John was very enlightening, as I knew little to nothing about the parking business prior to our call together. If you’re like me, then you’re always open to learning about new investment methods that can provide you diversification and long-term cash flow and wealth creation. Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what you’re going to learn about in today's show.

In this show with John you’re going to learn:

• How John got his start in the parking lot business and how purchasing a few dilapidated homes near the Notre Dame football stadium has spawned into a full blown multi-million dollar business for him.
• What the air rights of a property are and why these can typically be much more valuable than keeping the parking lot as an ordinary income property.
• The step-by-step process of getting into parking lot investments.
• Why parking lots make for low maintenance investments in comparison to other commercial investments like apartments, office, retail, etc.
• The value-add components to look for when seeking out a parking lot investment.
• How to properly underwrite a parking lot investment when there are no financials available which is a quite common scenario when dealing with small-scale parking lot owners/operators.
• How automation is changing the parking lot industry and how these changes are having a positive impact on the industry as a whole.
• What type of financing is available on parking lots and how to obtain bank financing even when you’re buying a parking lot that doesn’t have accurate financial statements available.
• How to utilize out-of-the-box strategies to find opportunities, even in today’s competitive environment.
• And much more

In today’s show I’m going to discuss the benefits of using seller financing when buying or selling a property, but more importantly we’re going to discuss how to successfully educate and persuade the owner of a property to consider this type of sale. If you don’t know how to effectively communicate the benefits to a seller then it’s highly unlikely that an owner will consider holding financing for you during a sale.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Investment and Direct Marketing Expert, Eric Stark.

Today’s discussion with Eric is an exciting one, and I say that because I wasn’t completely sure what to expect as I didn’t know too much about Eric prior to the call other than he was a very successful investor whose primary focus was residential properties, so I thought. And being that our show is primarily focused on Commercial I wasn’t sure exactly how our conversation would go, but boy am I glad we did the call together, because not only is Eric a brilliant businessman and marketer, but he also has a portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties which means he is the exact type of guest we look to bring on the show.

I personally walked away from this interview with Eric with multiple golden nuggets which we’ll be immediately implementing into our business and I’m positive you’ll find the same value as I did, and then some.

In this show with Eric you’re going to learn:

• How Eric got his start as a residential wholesaler back in 2008 during the financial crisis and how leveraged that down market to grow his real estate business at a very rapid rate.
• How he’s combatted a highly competitive marketplace by implementing an aggressive direct mail strategy, which has proven very successful in creating a steady stream of deal flow to his business.
• The reasons he recommends sending a highly personalized direct mail letter to a very small list versus a generic form letter to a massive list and how this one strategy has continued to bring incredible results for his business.
• How successfully negotiate and strike a deal with an owner who is not money motivated and whose property isn’t even for sale.
• What a “top 100 list” is and why Eric suggests every investor needs to create this list for themselves.
• The custom website tool that Eric includes on all of his mailers which offers free education to the property owners regarding the benefits of seller financing. He’ll share the url so you can check it out for yourself
• How he uses a pre-recorded message to warm up cold leads and also offer an easy way for property owners to get more information about Eric’s business without having to speak to a live person.
• The letter he sends to surrounding property owners once he’s purchased a property within the same neighborhood and how this one method alone has resulted in multiple additional acquisitions for Eric and his group.
• How Eric was able to turn a disgruntled property owner who was sick and tired of receiving his direct mail into a friendship that has brought him multiple investment opportunities, capital for deals, not to mention a mentor who had 50+ years of experience in the industry and who has become an invaluable resource to Eric and his team.
• Why Eric loves the Detroit market and the reasons he says that you should add it to your list of “cities to consider investing in”.
• The important role a mentor played in Eric’s overall success and why he feels that a good mentor is critical to your success in this business.
• The one Dr. Seuss book that Eric suggests will change your life and is one of the best business books he’s ever read.
• And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is raw land investment expert and founder of the popular Real Estate Investment website REtipster.com, Seth Williams.

In today’s show we’re going to be speaking with Seth about his part-time investment business and how he has created multiple streams of income by buying and selling raw land. If you’ve been a loyal listener to our show for the past few years then you’ve probably heard me previously talk about this niche of raw land investing. Our company even went as far as testing this particular niche to see if it might prove to be a potential new revenue stream for our existing investment business.

I think the most existing part about this niche is the fact that someone could essentially get started and buy their first deal for as low as a few hundred bucks. I personally feel that this niche offers a great opportunity for the beginning investor who has limited money and resources to get started in a “not so competitive” niche and start making some passive income streams which they can bank roll and hopefully later parlay into bigger deals. This is also a great niche for those looking for alternative ways to create additional streams of income and some phenomenal returns.

Whether you’re a new or seasoned investor I’m positive that you’ll get a ton of value from our interview together.

 In this show with Seth you’re going to learn:

• How Seth got his start as a Raw Land investor while working a full-time job.
• How he found a unique niche by marketing directly to tax delinquent land owners.
• The reasons I feel that this type of investing is a great way for new investors to get started with very little working capital and use it as a stepping stone to get into bigger commercial deals.
• The process of obtaining a tax delinquent property owner list from the county and how to properly scrub it.
• How he was able to streamline his lead generation process by utilizing a strategic recorded message and website.
• What the due diligence process looks like on a raw piece of land.
• How to properly come up with an estimated value for a vacant piece of land.
• What his direct mail process consists of when mailing to land owners.
• And much more

• The huge opportunity that exists from the huge flood of millennials and baby boomers as it pertains to rental housing, specifically multifamily.

• The reasons to never shop by cap rate and why it really only pertains to the exit of a property.
• Why loopnet is considered the graveyard for commercial deals.
• Why building a database of properties within your desired your market or markets and getting to know those owners is by far the best way to find the best opportunities.
• And much more

I’ve been reading a book that I highly recommend all of you go and pick up and it’s called Timing the Real Estate Markets and it’s written by Craig Hall. This is an important topic because based on my personal experience and what I’m personally seeing in the market place things are getting “as we in the commercial industry like to call” frothy, which means assets are getting overpriced. Now, we all know that real estate runs in cycles and that all markets are unique, but we also know the old adage of “buy low and sell high”, right? In today’s show I’ll share with you my thoughts on where we’re at in the cycle.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Investor and personal development expert, Raul Villacis. In today’s show Raul shares with us the path that took him from a hugely successful Real Estate investor with a multimillion dollar 150+ employee company, to a person struggling to keep his business afloat and barely having enough money to keep the lights on in his home and to feed his family.

• He’ll share with us how his business was decimated by the recession of 2008 and went from employing more than 150 people to losing everything in a matter of months, only to slip into a deep personal depression before rebuilding his path to success.
• Why he attributes most of his downfall to not paying attention to the signs that the RE market was presenting and then allowing his ego and identity to control his decisions on not to sell during the peak.
• Learn how experiencing this huge loss opened up a new door of opportunity in the distressed asset game and how he was able to capitalize on this and rebuild his business when many others were still drowning in their losses.
• Why he says you need to uncover your true identity and what your core passions are if you ever want to experience true happiness and fulfillment in your life and business.
• The system that Raul uses to reboot himself and continually perform at peak levels which he ultimately links to his success.

In today’s show, I’ll be sharing with you a proven exercise that has worked for me and thousands of others, which will help you more clearly define your REI road map for 2016. I suggest you treat this show as somewhat of a homework assignment and take the time to sit down and write down your answers and then revisit them a few times throughout the year to ensure you’re still on the right path. This exercise consists of one primary question and a few supporting sub-questions and can be completed in less than 30 minutes and I can promise you that these 30 minutes will be probably the most critical 30 minutes of the year for you.

This week we're going to be doing a follow-up interview with Mobile Home Park Investment expert, Mike Conlon. Mike was our fifth guest almost 2 years ago shortly after we first launched the show and I thought it would be awesome to bring him back on to get an update on his business and learn how he’s been able to acquire more than 2,000 additional mobile home park spaces since we last spoke.

If you are brand new to the show or if you know very little about mobile home park investments then I encourage you to go back and listen to episode #1 & #5 as it will act as a primer to what we discuss in today’s show. 

Here's a little taste of what you'll learn from our 2nd interview with Mike:

• Details on how he’s been able to acquire an additional 2000+ pads over the past year and a half.
• How the use of technology has allowed him to expand his reach outside of NC market where he was primarily focused and now own parks in WI, IL, AL, MD.
• The reasons why he has sold more than 1,000 pads over the past year.
• Why he and his team are starting to move away from turnaround properties and are focusing more on larger stabilized parks.
• How he handles large rent increases when he purchases a park that has rents that are significantly below market rates.
• Why relationships and credibility play a major roll when it dealing with mom and pop owners.
• Why parks with private utilities don’t scare Mike away, but he prefers not to own parks with waste water treatment plants, but will purchase parks on well and septic.
• His experience with raising capital through private placements and the positive impact it’s had on the growth of his business.
• Why he doesn’t utilize a rent to own or similar program within his parks.
• How he finds quality property managers and what type of compensation he gives.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real estate investor, developer and Tax Credit Expert, Michael Zukerman. In case you’re wondering what Tax Credits are and how they play into the world of real estate development, let me give you a quick explanation. To encourage and promote the revitalization of cities and provide affordable housing by developers, the federal and state governments have created tax credit programs to incentivize investors and developers. These programs are very complex and can spell disaster to an inexperienced developer unless you know exactly how to navigate their murky waters, which is why we’ve decided to bring Michael onto the show.

Michael is a 30 plus year industry veteran and a leading authority in the complex world of tax credit programs, and is here today to help us better understand this exciting topic.

 In this show with Michael you’re going to learn:

• How Michael got his start in the Real Estate industry and the numerous reasons he decided to direct most of his focus on the complex world of Tax Credits.
• Michael will share with us specific details on projects that he and his team are actively working on today in the tax credit space.
• The competitive advantage he gained by forming a partnership with someone who had an extensive background in construction management and why this is something you should also consider if you plan on venturing down the real estate development path.
• The difference between the 4% and 9% low income tax credit programs and how to determine which is the best option for your particular project.
• What a distressed census tracks is and how to locate and identify the ones that present the best opportunity for your low income tax credit development.
• The pros and cons of getting into the low income tax credit game.
• What type of qualifications potential residents must fit in order to be approved to live in one of these tax credit housing properties.
• The opportunity to purchase existing 4% tax credit properties and convert them to market rental rates after the 15 year restriction expires.
• Why he feels that there’s a correction coming in real estate sometime in the next few years and why you need to be prepared.
• And much more

This week I'm going to share with you two critically important clauses that you should be using in all of your purchase agreements. It’s very common that if you’re using a standard commercial contract from a broker that neither one of these clauses will be included and they absolutely should be. Below are the actual clauses so that you can easily cut/paste them and add them to your next contract.

Clause #1:

The PURCHASER'S Due Diligence time frame will be for a period of 60 days and will commence when PURCHASER receives all requested Due Diligence from seller as outlined on the Due Diligence request form.  After all documents and materials have been delivered to PURCHASER, PURCHASER may cancel this Agreement for any reason, at the sole discretion of PURCHASER, within sixty (60) days  after receiving all documents and materials from SELLER.  In the event that PURCHASER elects to cancel this Agreement during the initial 60 day inspection period this paragraph shall serve as authority to the Escrow Agent from the SELLER to act upon the “single order” of PURCHASER to distribute the Earnest money to PURCHASER.  Additionally, this paragraph shall serve as the SELLER’S release of the Escrow Agent from liability for disbursing the Earnest money to PURCHASER,

Clause #2:

PURCHASER to have a period of 30 days following above Due Diligence period to secure financing at terms acceptable to PURCHASER.  PURCHASER may cancel this Agreement during this Thirty (30) day period in the event that PURCHASER does not obtain a loan approval for the purchase of the Real Estate and Personal Property that is satisfactory to PURCHASER.  An automatic extension of 30 days shall be granted to PURCHASER for loan approval and funding provided LENDER provides a letter showing the loan approval and funding process is moving forward and additional time is needed to finalize the loan and funding process.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate redevelopment expert, Jay Several. Jay has a very interesting story because his real estate investment career started off as more of a hobby which he dabbled in in his spare time while running his software consulting company.

The exciting part about Jay’s journey is that not only did he start investing full-time just a short 10 years ago, but he started just before the biggest real estate crash in history was about to happen. And if that wasn’t already challenging enough, the projects that he was acquiring weren’t simple deals like stabilized apartment buildings or fully leased NNN shopping center deals. No, he started off by redeveloping vacant buildings and repurposing them for entirely different uses. This, my friends, is not a business for the faint of heart or for the beginner investor. Listen in to hear how Jay makes the magic happen

 In this show with Jay you’re going to learn:

• How jay got involved in Real Estate after selling his software consulting firm
• Why he decided to take the path of redeveloping infill properties instead of purchasing already occupied and cash flowing investments.
• How he was able to profit $1 million on his first deal and how he’s been able to duplicate this success over and over again.
• What qualities he looks for when determining whether or not a property makes for a good redevelopment opportunity.
• Why he never gives exclusive listings to commercial brokers.
• The process he takes to proactively seek out tenants to fill his centers before he’s even finished with the project.
• Why he feels that everything you own should be for sale….at the right price.
• The reasons he prefers the retail sector due to its ease of management.
• The $250,000 mistake he made and how he overcame it and became a smarter investor because of it.
• Why he feels that persistence is one of the most important qualities needed in becoming a successful real estate investor.
• And much more

Founded in 2010 by Dan and his brother Ben Miller, Fundrise has brought real estate crowdfunding to the mainstream, allowing anyone—accredited and unaccredited—to invest in property for as little as $100 per share, and as much as $10 million, and earn favorable returns (historically 12 to 14 percent). 

At Fundrise, Dan is responsible for exploring and opening up new markets and vetting real estate projects. Dan also speaks across the country as one of the leading authorities on real estate crowdfunding.

In this show with gene you’re going to learn:

• What crowdfunding is and how it’s changing the real estate investment landscape as we currently know it by making investments available to the mainstream public.
• How the JOBS act has changed the securities and investment laws that hadn’t been changed since the early 1930’s and what these mean for smaller investors.
• The benefits that Fundrise provides both accredited and non-accredited investors who have an interest in participating in premium grade investments.
• The step by step process that Fundrise goes through to vet their property offerings.
• What separates Fundrise from all of the other crowdfunding sites out in the marketplace.
• Why Fundrise funds all of their own projects with their own money prior to making these properties available to members of their website.
• What advice Dan would give to someone who was attempting to raise capital for the first time.

• And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Attorney and securities & syndication expert, Gene Trowbridge.  In today's show we're going to speak with Gene about his experience as a real estate syndicator and how that led him into becoming a real estate and securities attorney who specializes in working with real estate investors like you and I who are looking to raise private capital to fund out deals.

Our guest for this week’s show is Asset protection specialist, active real estate investor, and real estate attorney, Clint Coons. In today's show we're going to speak with Clint about how we, the real estate investor, can best protect our real estate investments.

I’ve received multiple emails over the past few months from listeners who had questions regarding asset protection and I thought that the best way to cover the topic would be by bringing an expert on the show.

In this show you’re going to learn:

• How Clint got his start as both a Real Estate Attorney and active real Estate investor
• Why you should never take title to an investment property in your own name…ever!
• Why having the appropriate insurance coverage on your properties doesn’t mean that your assets are properly protected.
• Why obtaining a loan for a real estate deal from the bank that you keep most of your money with is a big no-no and what you need to do to protect yourself.
• Why an LLC is the preferred entity structure when forming a JV partnership.
• What a series LLC is and when it makes sense to use it.
• Why you should never allow your CPA to setup your entity structure
• Why it’s best to create the entity for your holding company in Wyoming or Nevada, no matter where you live or invest
• The right questions to ask in order to find the right real estate attorney and asset protection specialist for your unique needs.
• The reason you should never setup your LLC as member managed.
• Why you need to start on your asset protection plan now, even if you don’t yet own any properties.
• And much more...

This week we're going to speaking with long time mobile home investor , John Fedro.

I wanted to bring John onto the show because as you are probably already aware (if you’re a regular listener to the show) is that my asset of choice are mobile home parks. And if you know anything about the mobile home park business, then you know that a big component of increasing the value of your park is by purchasing used mobile homes and placing them on any vacant pads within your park and then either renting them out or selling them on terms to an end user.

Well, guess what John is an expert at? He has made a living by finding great deals on used mobile homes which he then rents or sells to create passive income. What you’ll learn in today’s show can be applied to both investing in individual mobile homes or investing in entire mobile home parks.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with John today:

• How he accidentally stumbled into mobile home investing.
• How he finds massively discounted mobile homes for sale, in fact, the average price he pays is $6,000
• How he was able to go from a 100% buyer default rate when selling on terms and was able to get that down to less than a 5% default rate.
• How he is able to net a minimum of $300 per month of cash flow on a single mobile home and can usually recoup 100% of his original investment in 6 months or less. 
• How you can become a huge asset to a mobile home park owner by buying homes and moving them into their park or purchasing existing homes within the park.
• Why it took him so long to transition over to investing in Mobile Homes to entire Mobile Home Parks and why he wishes he would have made the switch sooner.
• How he creatively bought into a partnership in an existing mobile home park and is now in the turnaround process and is already eyeing up his second park
• And much more

This week I'm going to tell you about a Mobile Home Park that we're currently in contract on and the important details we uncovered during our due diligence by speaking with a few of the key city employees and why it's important that you never skip this step.

As we do with every property we plan on purchasing, we scheduled a phone or in-person meeting with the key representatives in the town or city where this property is located and these people include: code enforcement, admin to the mayor, zoning, and the chief of police. It's amazing the things that you can uncover when you approach these individuals as a prospective new buyer for a property that's within their jurisdiction, especially if the property is one that they perceive as an eye sore to the community or a waste of valuable community resources.

Well, let's get straight to the point, I'm going to tell you the two things we uncovered on a property we are in contract with that will have a drastic impact on our future plans.

This week we're going to speaking with multifamily investment expert, Spencer Cullor who is the director of acquisitions for ApartmentVestors, an investment firm specializing in the acquisition and management of value-add multifamily apartments in various markets throughout mid-west

During our time together, Spencer shares with us his path to success through multifamily investing and provides intimate details about the lessons he’s learned along the way from the school of hard knocks.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Spencer today:

• How he went from working in the corporate world as an employee to being a homebuilder and then transitioning to commercial real estate.
• What he disliked about the homebuilding business and the specific reasons that he was ready to make a jump out of this business and into investing in commercial real estate.
• What hard lessons he learned on his first commercial acquisition which was a retail shopping center that he purchased near the peak of the market.
• Details on his first multifamily acquisition which was a 40 unit apartment building that was a property with deferred maintenance and less than stellar management and how he’s been able to achieve more than a million of equity in this one deal alone.
• How he dealt with an occupancy drop from 85% to 65% on this first apartment acquisition and what he did to turn it around.
• The challenges he’s experienced with property management companies which is the reason he created his own management company.
• How he used a direct mail campaign to find his first deal and continues to use direct mail today to successfully find deals.
• Why you shouldn’t pay for upside potential on a property.
• Why Spencer doesn’t suggest that you start with a property larger than what you’re comfortable with for your first acquisition. If this number is 30 units then don’t go looking at 100 unit buildings.
• Why Spencer suggests that every investor has a mentor to guide them and how to go about finding them.
• And much more

Jeremy was one of our very first guest way back when we first started this show and I thought it would be awesome to bring him back on to get an update on his business and also cover a topic which I felt was very timely give our current market conditions.  Jeremy is going to share with us the step-by-step process of identifying the most promising real estate markets to invest in in order to find one that best meets your specific investment objectives.

Now remember, Jeremy is a CCIM instructor and a very successful broker and investor so what he’ll be teaching us today is the same curriculum that he teaches other elite industry players as well as practices himself within his own business. Today’s topic is one of those skills that we as an investor need to master if we want to truly succeed and thrive in this business.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Jeremy today:

• Why he's transitioning out of his multi-family investments and into the suburban office class.
• How to use free online tools that Jeremy shares with us to uncover strong US markets that might be ripe to invest in and also those that might be a little to overheated which means you should stay away
• The effects of urbanization and the opportunities it might present with income properties which are located in the suburban markets.
• What the difference of a financial driven and market driven property search is and which you should be using
• The step by step process that Jeremy uses to identify potential markets to invest in - this is the same process that is taught through the CCIM curriculum.

This week's show I'm going to share with you 2 different strategies that we've used multiple times over the years in both apartment buildings as well as mobile home parks to help defer any undesirable tenants or guests from the property.

Very often the properties we purchase have existing management challenges and along with these management challenges often come trouble tenants and their guests who weren't properly screened before moving in. Well, when we purchase the property, these troubled tenants and their guests now become our problem as the new owner.

Listen in to see how to get rid of these bad apples.

This week's show I'm going to share with you a short segment that I recently recorded with financial modeling expert and founder of REFM, Bruce Kirsch. Bruce will offer a few quick tips on how to effectively analyze and underwrite deals to help us avoid any potential mistakes which could affect the final output that you end up with in your evaluation.

This is such a basic topic, but one that is so vitally important because making just one small input mistake in your financial evaluation can be the difference between a good deal and a bad one. There have been many times where I've run a property through my financial modeling software only to have the results seem much better than I originally anticipated, and in almost all circumstances, it was due to an input error on my behalf.

This week we're going to be speaking industry expert, Ann Hambly, who is the founder and CEO of 1st Service Solutions , a national service provider and consultancy firm to the commercial real estate industry who provide advice and solutions for anything ranging from the addition or removal of collateral on an existing CMBS loan, to the most complex loan restructure for all loan types.

And for those of you who might not know what a CMBS loan is here's a quick definition. A CMBS loan, also known as a commercial mortgage-backed security, is a type of fixed-income security that is collateralized by commercial real estate loans. Typically these loans are for commercial properties such as office buildings, hotels, malls, apartment buildings, factories, etc., but not single-family homes. CMBS make up about 2% of the total U.S. fixed income market.

In essence, CMBS are created when a bank takes a group of loans on its books, bundles them together, and sells them in securitized form as a series of bonds. Each series will typically be organized in "tranches" from the senior - or highest-rated, lowest-risk issue - to the highest-risk, lowest-rated issue. The senior issue is first in line to receive principal and interest payments, while the most junior issues will be the first to take a loss if a borrower defaults. Investors choose which issue they invest in based on their desired yield and capacity for risk.

Today we're going to speak about how Ann's company can help investors navigate the tricky and often times complex CMBS loan process as well as discuss some of the opportunities that might exist from maturing CMBS loans that were created back during the 2005-2008 real estate run-up and how her company can help you capitalize on some of these "soon-to-be" distressed opportunities.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Ann today:

• What a CMBS loan is
• What role 1st service solutions  plays in the CMBS market and the services they provide to real estate investors
• How Ann was able to grow her company during one of the worst real estate markets in history which was 2008
• The opportunity that exists with the $100+ billion of maturing CMBS loans and how you can go about uncovering those that might be distressed
• What defeasance means when it comes to CMBS loans
• The benefits of a CMBS loan and how they typically offer much more attractive terms than conventional commercial loans which can include longer amortization, lower rates, non-recourse vs. recourse bank loans, and 10 year balloons instead of 5 or 7 that you have with commercial loans.
• The number one marketing strategy which she feels is responsible for the great success her company has experienced and how you can apply this same strategy to your real estate business.
• How to get a free 1 hour phone consultation with Ann.
• And much more

This week we're going to speaking with real estate expert, Phyllis Rockower. Now, Phyllis doesn't have an extensive background in multifamily or commercial real estate investing like most of our guests do, but what she does have is a ton of experience in starting up her own investment clubs, which is what we're going to be discussing in this week's show.

You see, there are hundreds, if not thousands of real estate investment clubs throughout the US, but the large majority of them are groups who tend to focus on single family investments which isn't going to benefit you if you are a multifamily or commercial real estate investor. Phyllis is going to discuss how she has successfully built two real estate investment clubs that collectively have over 1000 members and how you can do the same. 

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Phyllis today:

• The benefit of surrounding yourself around like minded investors who have an interest in the same type of real estate that you do.
• How to leverage the existing REIA clubs in your area to market your new Multi-Family or commercial investment club to.
• Why she feels that creating a club solely for the intent of making a profit is the wrong idea.
• Why using meetup.com is the single best way to get your group launched and know by the masses.
• Why she suggests that you keep your group small, similar to a mastermind format
• How you might be able to leverage an existing clubs audience by creating a separate sub-group within the existing organization.
• How a group format can help you significantly increase your buying power by means of partnering
• Why you don't need to be a multifamily or commercial expert or have a track record to start your own club
• How to quickly grow your club by sending a targeted direct mail campaign to other local multifamily owners
• Why you shouldn't waste the time or energy on building a website or business plan prior to launching your group.
• Why you should create a legal waiver and have all members sign it releasing you as the organizer from liability.
• And much more

In this week's cashflow Friday tip I want to cover a topic that I think all of us can relate to; and it doesn't matter whether you're new or a seasoned investor who has done hundreds or thousands of deals because we've all experienced a point in time where we felt like we had failed at reaching our goal as an investor or maybe it was a time when we were in a rut and couldn't see the light of day.

Today's show is a result of a recent article that I read which was written by Multi-Family investor, Chris Urso and in this article Chris describes the 3 most common ways that investors get stuck and how to get unstuck and keep moving forward toward success.

This week's cash flow Friday tip is a slightly different format than our other Friday shows in that it's not really a tip but a recap from my recent trip to Iowa where I was performing due diligence on a park we have under contract. This will be helpful for not only those who are interested in buying mobile home parks, but also for anyone who is looking for purchase an income property. At the end of the day, your job is to try and match up all of the pieces of the puzzle and identify the ones that don't fit and then determine why. In other words, create the factual story of how the property is really performing, not how the owner told you it was performing.

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I'd like to discuss a recent dilemma I faced with the "one" property I self manage and how it added an obscene amount of stress during my recent 2 week family vacation to Europe and why it's prompted me to sell this property asap.

The takeaway lesson behind this recent personal story is why you need to focus on being an investor and never take on the role of being a landlord if your goal is to build a scalable real estate empire. Learn from my mistakes and be the smarter investor!

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I want to talk about the offer making process when buying income properly and why it's vitally important for you to have systems and processes in place to continually follow up with sellers and property owners "After" your initial offer was declined or after you lost a property to another buyer.

Let me tell you exactly what I mean by this. You see, being that we are all human and our lives are forever changing, circumstances have a tendency to change from day to day which means that although a seller might have declined your offer on Tuesday doesn't mean that their circumstances might change on Friday which will make them a more motivated seller. Throughout my 15+ years as an investor this theory has held true time and time again which has allowed me to buy multiple properties from owners who originally declined my original offer. Most investors take the approach of "once and done" and will completely lose interest in a deal if their original offer gets declined which is the complete wrong approach to take.

So here's what I want you to take away from this week's tip. Whether you're dealing with a broker or directly with a property owner it's your duty as a savvy investor to stay in constant contact with them after your initial offer was declined and this can be through either email or phone and it's up to you to choose the one that best suits that particular relationship. And with technology setting reminders for this type of activity are super simple by using many of the free CRM software systems available on the market, your smartphone, or even the old school method of writing it down in a planner. I don't care how you track it as long as you actually do it.

I can promise that if you'll significantly increase your number of accepted offers if you use this one simple technique, plus it will win you a ton of brownie points with brokers if it's a listed property. So as soon as you finish listening to this podcast I want you to create your follow up plan or system on how you plan to stay in touch with brokers or sellers who have declined your initial offer.

This week we're going to speaking with Mark Hanf who is president of Pacific Private Money Inc., one of the fastest-growing hard money loan brokers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded a short time ago in 2008, Mark built his company from the ground up and to over $100 million in loan originations in just four years and has attracted more than 500 private investors to his lending practice.

Private money is a very important topic as it's somewhat the lifeblood of being a successful real estate investor. I have yet to meet a successful real estate investor who hasn't used private money in one form or another in their business. In today's show Mark shares some great pointers on how you the investor can start building your rolodex of private investors who can help you fund your next deal.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Mark today:

• Understanding the difference between hard money and private money because they are two completely different things.
• Why every investor needs to create a credibility package prior to pursuing capital for their deals and what to place in this package even if you don't have any real estate experience.
• The best ways to find private individuals who are ripe for becoming for private lenders
• Using meetup.com to find local real estate investment clubs to network and find potential partners and private investors
• Attending self-directed IRA events to network and make friends with the attendees who are looking to use their IRA to invest.
• Why you need to start your own meetup.com Real Estate club if there isn't one in your area that meets your needs
• Why your investors always need to get paid first, even before you get paid
• Why he feels that relationships are everything in this business and are by far your most valuable asset.
• How referrals from your existing investors play a major role in developing your private money database
• And much more

It didn't take more than a few moments on the phone together to realize that she was the person with the expertise I was looking for.  She is wise beyond her years, gets straight to the point and says it like it is. If you didn't know it you would think she had been in the real estate industry for 30+ years based on her knowledge and the way she presents herself but she is only 28 years young and I'm positive that you'll be just as impressed with her as I was.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Jilliene today:

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

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Mike today:

• The importance of building relationships with local banks and financing institutions
• How he's finding most deals on the MLS

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip we're going to talk about the importance if figuring out your WHY, and what I mean by this is what are 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 experiencing all life has to offer. I will make this a reality by focusing solely on acquiring a significant portfolio of mobile home parks and apartment buildings which can produce a yearly passive net income stream of at least 500k. Based on my calculations this should take approximately 1000-1500 rentable units to achieve my investment goals.

So there you have it, in a nutshell that is my WHY and this is what I work towards every day. You can develop your own why by answering these following 5 questions and then forming them into one continuous statement. I suggest that once you have your WHY statement completed that you review and tweak on a regular basis and have it in plain sight for all to see. I also suggest that you share it with your family and friends and anyone else who you feel might help hold you accountable to this mission.

5 questions:

1. Briefly describe what it is you want to do: For example: I want to own 4 apartment buildings in Southwest Florida totaling 500+ doors which produce in excess of 250k in passive income each year.
2. Now describe how you will do it. For example: I will do this by building a relationship with every apartment broker in SW Florida and by sending direct mail to all buildings that meet my general criteria
3. Describe why you want to do it. I believe that owning  500+ doors in SW Florida will afford my wife and I  the luxury to quit our full-time jobs and travel the world with our 2 kids. Owning 500+ doors will also provide a much more secure retirement plan for our family and will allow us to send our kids to the colleges of their choice.
4. Why do you want this for yourself? Example: Because my family is my world and I want to opportunity to spend every available minute with them and owning 500+ doors will provide me with that time.
5. What are some other reasons you want this? Example: Because I believe that you should enjoy what you do and both my wife and I are unhappy in our current careers . Real estate can be our escape and can offer the enjoyable career path that we both seek.

Now after you've come up with your answers to these 5 questions now what you'll need to do is start with the #5 answer and work backwards and merge them together to form a statement or sentence. So merge #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 together and you'll end up with your why.

Please don't dismiss these type of exercises as they allow you to think through what you envision your future should be like. You can have anything you want in this life if you work hard enough for it and plan accordingly and this offers a way for you to plan for your real estate investing success. I promise that if you take the 20-30 minutes to complete this that you'll be glad you did and will have a much clearer focus.

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 have a look because it's chalk full of incredible information regarding real estate investing and you can check it out by going to Norada Real Estate

• 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 market before investing in it
• Why he invests with a 1-5 year horizon in order to keep momentum going for his business
• How he was able to persuade a partner with strong financials and wall street experience to get his first large 100 unit building done
• Why he suggests using loopnet to source brokers for a particular market and asset type
• Why he also suggests to not ignore overpriced deals on loopnet and to make an offer…no matter what.
• Why he suggests to always do your due diligence and not take anyone’s word especially the brokers.

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 a few things you’ll learn in our interview with Sal today:

• Why CMBS loan maturities represent a great opportunity in the coming years for investors
• What Sal and his team are doing to prepare for capitalizing on these distressed deals
• How to track down these distressed notes by going direct to the lenders
• Why he feels that CMBS loans between $2 million & $30 represent the best opportunities for the small to mid-size non-institutional investors
• The reason he is focusing on secondary and tertiary markets
• Why it's not as simple as just restructuring these loans similar to what would happen with a portfolio loan
• Why he feels the sweet spot for banks that are holding these types of distressed assets are the ones that have between $2 & $5 billion in assets and why that's the niche you need to focus on.
• The person we need to speak with at the bank in order to gain access to these distressed deals.
• Why he feels that there are many markets that are already overheated which will ultimately represent a correction sometime in the coming years and why we need to be cautious as investors
• And much more

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 responsabilities 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 a few things you’ll learn in our interview with David today:

• What intrigued David about real estate at the age of 14
• Why he decided to make the switch from being a contractor to a long term investor
• What attracted him to Charlotte, NC and why he thinks it's the next large growth city
• How he found one of his best deals through a brokers personal website
• When hard money makes sense and when it doesn't
• How he was able to obtain owner financing on a recent 21 unit building in Charlotte
• Why he uses a multiple offers strategy when buying apartment buildings
• The risks of buying the underlying LLC that owns the asset instead of buying the real property itself.
• Why he loves condemned buildings
• Why he lives by the motto "don't be cheap" and how he attributes that to his success as an investor
• And much more

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 into 4 simple steps. Enjoy!

In this week's Cash Flow Friday tip I’m going to share a strategy which I learned from one of our previous guests and have since implemented into a few of my rentals and it’s proven successful. 

This strategy I'll talk about today is implementing a monthly pet rental fee into your lease agreements in place of a flat fee pet deposit.

How does a 10-15% increase in monthly rental premium sound?
