When my guest today first moved to the United States, he did not yet know how to speak English. When he received his degree in Pharmacy, he ended up leaving a secure job to become an entrepreneur. And when he began building his Multi-Million Dollar Rental Portfolio, he started with only $8 Thousand Dollars.
Since then, Ketan Patel has raised over $10 Million for multifamily syndication, grown a senior care business by a factor of three in just two years, and is a successful High-Performance Coach who helps motivated real estate entrepreneurs create more income and impact by aligning their thoughts, emotions and actions.
Today Ketan and I Role-Play the conversations he might typically have with a high-net worth but overworked Doctor. You’ll see first-hand the persuasion and influence techniques Ketan employs to educate me on the concept of real estate investing, the risk-reward of real estate, building rapport, and getting to the close. You’ll also learn the key questions Ketan asks a high-net worth investor in order to understand their goals and dreams.
All Real Estate Investing involves some degree of salesmanship and the need to understand persuasion and influence. The better you understand this, the more successful you’ll be in the long-run. Ketan definitely brings this all to the forefront during today’s conversation.

Have you ever tried talking to your financial advisor about investing in Real Estate? What did they have to say? Did they bring up the risks and performance compared to investing in stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, or did they encourage you to invest in real estate and build passive income?
If you’re talking with a traditional mainstream financial advisor, it's more likely that they steered you away from real estate into a mutual fund or stock portfolio.
My guest today believes that traditional mainstream financial advice is BROKEN! And he should know, because he used to be a financial advisor and stock coach.
Chris Miles is now a Cash Flow Expert for Real Estate Investors and Anti-Financial Advisor. He uses his company Money Ripples to expose the popular myths around money that have kept so many real estate investors from enjoying financial freedom and peace of mind.
Today Chris and I discuss why your financial advisor is likely forbidden from endorsing investing in real estate, how you can free up cash flow and tap into equity to build your passive income, and how Infinite Banking can pay you Twice from your investment money.
I know you’ll benefit from the insight and wisdom Chris shares today. You can find out more about Chris by listening to his podcast “The Chris Miles Money Show” and through his website: https://moneyripples.com

Today we’re going to talk about the future of retirement and how real estate is an often overlooked vehicle for securing your financial future. Increasingly, pensions are being converted to 401(k)s which is shifting the retirement risk to employees. This has caused today’s guest to reconsider traditional beliefs about retirement savings.
Eric Martel lost a fortune during the dot-com crash of 2001 and started looking for alternative ways to earn passive income. He started various businesses including a gourmet sauce company, but eventually came back to his first love, real estate, which led him to form Martel Turnkey. After four years of rapid success, he was able to retire from his W2 job. Eric is also the author of the recent book called “Stop Trading Your Time For Money”.
Today we discuss Eric’s beginnings as a real estate investor when he purchased an apartment building at the age of 18. He quickly burned out on investing though because he was handling all of the property management and repairs. We’re also going to discuss what it means to have financial freedom, and the goal setting and actionable steps you can take to achieve it.
Eric will also share the turn-key model he’s developed investing in secondary cities with rehabbed houses costing (roughly) $100,000 that can be purchased with 20% down and cashflow $300 a month. We discuss the turnkey aspects of this type of investing, the power of leverage and depreciation, and the risks from tenants and property condition.
This is an important episode for anyone who’s paying attention to their potential retirement income, and will get you to start thinking about meeting your living expense by generating additional passive income.

When you look at all of the disruption, vacancies, and permanent closures in the office, hospitality, and retail space, it’s clear that we need to start thinking differently about Adaptive Reuse of these buildings. And since one of the greatest needs we have in this country is for middle-income housing, I believe we’re going to see a lot more conversion projects designed to expand our middle-income housing inventory.
Recently I saw an article in Costar News about a permanently closed Ramada Inn located in Sheffield, Alabama that was being converted into apartments for middle income workers. I thought this would be a great topic to discuss on the show, so I contacted the developer, Richard Rubin with Los Angeles-based firm Repvblik (pronounced “Republic”), and he agreed to a conversation.
Originally from South Africa, Richard brings a unique and creative perspective to obsolete and vacant buildings, as well as solutions for increasing inventory of workforce housing. Today he’s going to explain the need for workforce housing, the types of adaptive reuse projects he prefers, the economics of adaptive reuse, and how the government can help facilitate this type of project. We’ll also go into detail on the Ramada Inn conversion in Alabama.
It pays to think differently from everyone else when it comes to real estate investing and development. I know you’re going to benefit from hearing Richard’s perspective. You can contact Richard through email: richard@therepvblik.com or on linkedin.

I’m excited to be talking with a good friend and mentor of mine today about raising equity from investors. Al Vardya successfully exited a 26-year career in the Information Technology Industry and began investing in Real Estate back in 2011. He started with single-family homes that he still owns and manages, and then began investing in commercial real estate such as Class B Multifamily, hospitality, and office buildings.
One of Al’s many strengths is that he has created and maintains partnerships with sponsor groups syndicating private placement deals. Al has also built a family and friends network of investors providing capital for these syndications. He invests both as a limited partner and also co-sponsors some of these deals as a General Partner.
To date, Al has raised over $42 Million in investor equity across 37 projects, 12 of which have been exited for an average annual return of 37% to his investors.
Today we’re going to discuss what qualities Al looks for in his sponsors and the type of groups and asset classes he prefers to invest in. He’ll also share how he built his network of over 120 passive investors and how he communicates and educates them in the opportunities he’s pursuing. You’ll also get some incredible insight into the trends and new types of investments Al is targeting for 2021, including new apartment development in Montana and Triple-Net Leases in the Cannabis Industry.
Whether you’re raising money from investors or looking to invest passively in other people’s deals, you’re going to love listening to what Al has to say. If you’re an accredited investor and would like to get in touch with Al, you can do so by phone or email: 248-444-7670
