The way we build homes hasn’t changed in over a century. And with an unprecedented demand for new housing across the country, we can’t build fast enough.

My guest today has built a business that leverages technology to reverse the dire housing crisis by building custom homes in less than five days.

Garrett Moore is the Founder of Agorus—America’s first scalable offsite customized construction solution. As an ex-Navy SEAL, Garrett has taken the lessons learned in active duty to build a great company and revolutionize the way America is being built.

Today Garrett explains the dire lack of construction workers and why technology is the only solution to providing more housing. We’ll discuss and compare construction methods between a traditional stick-built home, and one built in a controlled factory. We’ll also talk about the quality of these homes, and the ancillary benefits of the Agorus method.

If you love learning how technology is revolutionizing the traditional ways of business, you’ll love this conversation about the future of construction and home building. You can contact Garrett through LinkedIn, or his website: https://agorus.com

Hello and welcome to the RPOA Alternative Strategies in Short-Term Rentals Expert Panel.

This is the panel that goes beyond your typical short-term vacation rentals and dives into alternative and lucrative strategies that you might want to consider.

And we are lucky to have an incredible panel this morning:

Robyn Thompson is nationally known as the Queen of Rehab, and is also an expert on vacation rentals. Robyn has a system that provides a premium experience in very specific locations and strategies that will help you get far ahead of your competition.

Barb Bookout has bypassed vacation rentals altogether, and has concentrated her business on 30-day or longer rentals right here in Grand Rapids.

Barb owns a commercial building in downtown Grand Rapids, and for the past seven years she’s been running it as a vacation rental. Four years ago she transitioned to 30-day or longer rentals and rents to visiting students and travelling medical professionals.

Jeremy Garcia is a Muskegon area investor with several short-term rentals. Full disclosure, Jeremy and I are partners on a commercial 8-unit boutique Airbnb hotel that we recently purchased and are building out in downtown Muskegon.

Instrumental to Jeremy’s strategy is renting to travelling nurses who often stay in his furnished units for 2 to 3 months at a time. Jeremy and his wife Melanie are expanding this model to include not just travelling medical professionals, but also corporate and executive clients.

I’m always fascinated at how technology and innovation can disrupt the traditional way of doing business—especially in the rental property and real estate investing space.

Today’s guest started a proptech company whose mission is to challenge outdated practices to improve the rental experience for tenants and small mom-and-pop landlords.

As a serial entrepreneur in the real estate space, Daniel Mishin founded June Homes to create a substantially better experience for thousands of tenants across NYC, D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Boston. Daniel also secured over $50 million in funding from venture capital and angel investors.

Today Daniel delivers a very important warning about the future of traditional property management methods. Tenants are looking for flexibility in the way they rent, the duration of their lease, and the amenities that are offered. Daniel is going to tell you how to future-proof your rental business and why your website is already outdated.

Today’s episode might make you a little uneasy about the way you traditionally manage your rentals. But you’ll also gain fascinating insight into the future of renting and what you must consider to increase your chances of success. You can find out more at https://junehomes.com.

In 2020, the U.S. assisted living facility market was valued at $83 billion, and that value is expected to increase substantially over the next decade.

My guest today has a mission to revolutionize the assisted living industry by making it available for any individual to invest.

Chuck Bongiovanni is the CEO and co-founder of Majestic Residences Franchise System with a trademarked turnkey operation that generates $5,000 per resident per month.

Today Chuck is going to explain how investors and caretakers can set up six to sixteen bed residential assisted living facilities in residential neighborhoods. We’ll talk about the income and expenses to anticipate, how to staff them, and technology his group is using to provide maximum comfort to the residents. We’ll also discuss the difference in mindset between an investor in this space and a caretaker, and how the two can work together to make these facilities happen.

Most people aren’t aware of these types of facilities, yet they’re in every city and will double in size over the next ten years. I know you’ll find this conversation with Chuck to be interesting and informative. You can find out more at https://www.discovermajesticresidences.com.

It’s been 109 episodes and 2 years of a pandemic, but we’re finally able to catch up with our friend Ramond Harris II. You may remember Ramond as the Detroit flipper, wholesaler and rehabber who shared his story in episodes #168 and #225 while we brainstormed ways for him to fix his broken business model and get rid of three trucks that were costing him over $25,000 per year in debt payments.

This episode was recorded at the RPOA’s 2022 annual conference in Grand Rapids where we were able to reunite with Justin Workman, Patrick Spitzley, and Stephen Benedict for an exciting mastermind session. We were all impressed to learn about the profitable new turn Ramond’s business has taken, and how he’s barged into a new business and found success by disrupting old models and outdated agreements.

For those of you who remember Ramond from past episodes, I know you’ll be incredibly impressed by his progress and newly acquired confidence. You can contact Ramond through email at ramond.harris@yahoo.com.

My guest today loves short-term rentals and a few years ago he set out to create a platform to bring the tools of industry giants to the normal investor.

Masrur Huq is the founder of Dynamic.RE, a prop-tech solution that leverages big data to help real estate investors increase their profitability and run their rentals and Airbnbs.

Today we’re going to discuss level one due diligence and how to determine a property's highest and best use. Masrur will show us the process he goes through to determine rental and pricing comps, while aggregating data from AirDNA and other sources to pinpoint the highest profit margins.

Being successful in real estate investing often involves finding solutions that others haven’t thought of or discovered. What I love about today’s interview is that Masrur not only came up with a solution, he’s managed to put it into a software format that anyone can use.

Even in these challenging economic times, multifamily real estate continues to perform exceptionally well. Hypergrowth in this investment market has led to intense competition for available properties.

But instead of getting caught up in the frenzy and making a reckless purchase that could sink you, it’s critical to carry out an on the ground inquiry. Take the time to find out what’s really behind the seller’s motivation to sell, use street knowledge to discover whether it’s a sound investment, and think outside of the box about where to find hidden value.

Those are the big ideas motivating my guest today. Sam Liebman is founder and CEO of WealthWay Equity Group a New York-based private equity and real estate development company. He has owned substantial interests in multifamily communities, office buildings and shopping centers, to the ground up construction of a luxury 21-story condominium development in Manhattan. His new book is Harvard Can’t Teach What You Learn from the Streets: The Street Success Guide to Building Wealth through Multi-Family Real Estate.

Sam is going to share some of the great insight you can find in his book. We’ll discuss how he deploys psychological due diligence to uncover the hidden story, why he considers himself a detective and the suspect is always the seller, how the town drunkard saved him $200,000 on a deal, and the office and retail Armageddon he believes is about to happen.

I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation with Sam. You can find his book on Amazon, and contact him through his website:  https://samliebman.com

One of the truths we rely on as residential real estate investors is that everyone needs a place to live. A similar, yet even more powerful truth can be claimed about the investing strategy that we’ll be discussing today. That truth is that everyone needs to eat. Where does the food we eat come from? Farms of course!

So what are the opportunities and strategies we should know to successfully invest in farmland?

My guest today, Brandon Silveira, is a fourth-generation farmer and CEO of FarmFundr, a crowdfunding portal giving investors access to fractional ownership in high-profit potential farmland. Brandon is going to share the compelling reasons to invest in farmland and the potential profits you can make.

According to Brandon, we’ll need to double our farming output to meet the world’s demand for food in the coming decades. There’s a reason why billionaires like Bill Gates are investing in farmland, and Brandon is going to share how you can join them.

We all know that it’s a competitive real estate market right now, and that there seems to be a lot more buyers than there are deals. One of the best ways to find opportunities is to market directly to the seller and bypass the brokers and other buyers altogether.

This is also one of the least understood strategies, and today we’re going to dig in a little deeper with my guest, Justin Silverio.

Justin is the owner of JS2 Homes, Open Letter Marketing, and Invelo. Through his companies, Justin provides thousands of real estate investors a more effective direct-to-seller marketing approach, and educates on best practices around pull lists, marketing campaigns, lead tracking and full analytics.

Today Justin is going to share the different methods of direct marketing, the response rate you can expect, the difference between marketing to residential or commercial sellers, and the processes and automations he’s created to increase his success rate.

My guest today has a vacation rental strategy that is quite unique. Instead of buying or converting residential property into vacation rentals, he prefers to build cabins.

He’s also the host of the popular YouTube channel “Alex Builds” where he teaches the ins and outs of short-term development and management.

We’ll discuss the unique experience that cabins offer, as well as the amenities Alex likes to offer. I’ll also obsess over the cleanliness and logistics of offering a hot tub.

My guest today is a wholesaler and flipper who has figured out a system that allows him to complete up to 35 wholesale transactions a year with an average deal size of $500,000 each.

Max Fisch has completed hundreds of real estate transactions using virtual assistants. He’s been able to scale his business without overburdening himself or his team. And today’s he’s going to share how he utilizes these VAs, and why it’s so important to use industry-specific VAs to scale your business and achieve incredible results.

Max is going help us understand the systems he’s set up to interview, onboard, and train his virtual assistants, why he prefers a global team as opposed to originating from a single country, and the thought process you must go through to determine if hiring a VA is for you.

I know you’re going to enjoy today’s conversation. You can find out more about Max and his companies through Facebook, Instagram, the web and email:
