There are two very important tools that a successful real estate investor must have to grow their portfolio, borrow money from lenders, and keep track of their financial situation.
I’m talking about your personal financial statement and schedule of real estate owned. Both offer a three-dimensional picture of your assets and liabilities, as well as the real estate and investments you own and the cashflow you can expect from them.
I was looking to improve the format of my PFS and SREO recently and came across one that I absolutely love. It was created by my guest today, Paul Winterowd.
Paul is an expert debt provider with Bonneville Multifamily Capital who has real world experience investing in multifamily assets. He’s achieved MBA and CCIM status and helps clients’ returns by sourcing the best debt-financing for their long and short-term investing objectives.
Today Paul is going to explain the purpose of a PFS and SREO and the important details lenders are looking for when they review yours, such as your liquidity, net worth, and debt-service coverage ratio. We’ll also discuss red flags or mistakes investors make when presenting their financial picture.
The best part of this conversation...Paul is making the PFS & SREO spreadsheet he created available to our listeners at no cost. You can go to https://bmfcap.com/pfs/ to download this fantastic spreadsheet. You can also contact Paul directly through email: paul@bmfcap.com

Today we’re going to talk about short sales. This is a technique that’s used to work with a lender to get them to allow the sale of a property for less than the balance owed. Successfully negotiating a short sale can provide a lot of upside value for investors, but it also takes knowledge and skill.
Nicole Espinosa is known as The Short Sale Queen. She has closed thousands of short sale transactions successfully and continues to process hundreds a month for clients nationwide. She’s also the best-selling author of “Short Sales Uncensored” and is the leading short sale expert based out of Dallas, Texas.
Today Nicole is going to take us through the short sale process from A to Z. We’ll discuss why a borrower would consider selling their home on a short sale, and the conversation Nicole’s team might have to convince them this is the best option. We’ll talk about the banks and how to determine if you’ve connected with the right person who can help keep the process moving. Nicole also works with many investors, and she shares a recent scenario that helped them acquire a property for less than it’s current value.
Nicole also talks about the team she’s built out and the systems they use to expedite the short sale process. We also discuss the wave of foreclosures she sees on the horizon due to the forbearance periods ending from the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums.
Having the knowledge of short sales is an incredible tool that you should have in your investor tool kit. Nicole does a great job of making it as understandable as possible, and I know you’ll get a lot of value from listening to this episode.

My guest today has closed over 850 deals over the past 7 years. He’s tried many different strategies, and noticed something very strange while he was in the process of building a real estate business that was doing 25 deals a month. What he realized was that the money he was making was not the money that was ending up in his pocket. Instead, that money was going right back out the door, with very little cashflow or profit to show for all his efforts.
Now I’m sure many of us have found ourselves in the same situation. David Richter saw this as an opportunity to help businesses see where their money really goes. He’s since helped real estate companies completely turn around, from going out of business to building real cash reserves by using a method called the “Profit First Cash Flow System”.
David’s goal is to completely transform the Real Estate Industry when it comes to how real estate investors view their finances. Today David is going to help us achieve true financial clarity and freedom and show us how to stop living deal to deal.

We have some incredibly powerful information to share with you today on disruptive forces and trends that will be dramatically altering the course of real estate investing for the next ten years, and I’m so excited to have Neal Bawa back on the show to share it with us.
For those of you who don’t know Neal, he is considered the Mad Scientist of Multifamily, and I’ve been following Neal and his companies Grocapitus and Multifamily University for years because he takes data science, statistics, and technological advancements and in an amazing and exciting way forecasts trends that very few investors are paying attention to.
So prepare yourself for a fascinating conversation, because Neal is going to take us through several disruptive trends that are going to change the way people live and invest. We’ll be discussing Hybrid Work and how we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in people working from home and companies allowing them to do so.
You’ll also learn about Tokenization and Smart Contracts, and how this will allow investors to buy and sell real estate much like they do stocks or cryptocurrency. It will also lead to a dramatic decrease in the number of syndicators over the next 10 years.
Neal also touches on several other powerful forces that will have a massive impact on investing, such as Suburbanization and the growth of tertiary markets outside Primary Metros, Augmented Reality, Staycations, and 15-minute cities.

Spend the Night with me in a Haunted House!
Welcome to Part 2 of our Halloween Series on Haunted Houses, Apparitions, Paranormal Experiences, and the Roommates who don’t pay rent & can’t be evicted.
In part one (episode #251) you were introduced to a retired reverend who has been experiencing paranormal activity and communicating with the dead since his near-death experience at the age of 5. You also met several of his paranormal research assistants and heard their stories as well.
Today, we’re going to take you on a ghost hunting adventure to a haunted house in the historic district of Bay City Michigan. You'll find out the strange reasons we were brought there in the first place, how the homeowner was almost pushed off a ladder by a ghost, and what happened that night after 2 A.M. that is so strange, and so hard to explain, that I can't wait to share it with you.
If you're experiencing paranormal activity in your home, rental property, or place of business, you can contact Reverend Hunter through his publisher at https://thunderbaypressmichigan.com

Welcome to our Special Halloween Edition with hair-raising stories about Haunted Houses, Apparitions, Paranormal Experiences, and the Roommates Who Don't Pay Rent, and Can't Be Evicted. We did something similar 3 years ago on EP#94 and it was one of my favorite all-time episodes. Today we go even deeper into paranormal phenomenon and I know you're going to love this incredibly thrilling episode!
I recorded so many great stories that I had to break them up into two episodes: In Part One you'll meet a group of Paranormal Researchers and the Retired Reverend who has brought them together. In Part 2 you'll get to accompany me to a Real-Life Haunted House in Bay City Michigan.
I want to warn you that some of these stories will frighten you, and some may even terrify you. If you're easily scared or prone to nightmares, then this is not the episode for you. Aside from the sound effects I've added in, everything you're about to hear is the actual professed experiences of the people involved. These are real people, with real stories of paranormal events that can't be explained, and are even harder to understand.
If you own a home, rental property, or business that is haunted or experiencing paranormal activity, then Reverend Hunter would like to hear from you. You can contact him through his publisher at Thunder Bay Press:

Today Jennifer goes into detail on two of those strategies and shares how they’ve allowed her and her husband to travel several months a year while maintaining passive cash flow. First, we discuss Supported Living and why it can be more lucrative than market rate housing, while actually reducing the amount of management and expenses you’d typically find in traditional rental properties.
We’ll also discuss Jennifer’s “Build-to-Rent” strategy of building 3 to 4 bedroom duplexes that cashflow and are worth more than the acquisition and construction costs. There are several exit strategies with this method, including cash-out refinance, holding as a rental, or condo-ing and selling off at a profit.

Today we’re going to take a look at the Affordable Housing Crisis in the U.S. and how this will become increasingly important to renters and rental property owners in the coming years. Construction and labor costs have risen to a point where current prices and rents may not justify the expense of building new supply, yet the demand for housing is growing and creating a lack of affordable housing for many people.
My guests today have positioned themselves to be part of the solution. Nick Earls and Eric DiNicola are full-time real estate investors, developers, and founders of Winterspring Capital, a private equity firm based out of Boston, MA.
Nick and Eric have over $100 Million in past and current assets under their belts and focus on several types of multifamily investment and development strategies. Currently they have both an affordable housing development in progress, as well as a $25 Million market-rate 32-unit luxury condo development in Boston.
We’ll also discuss the importance of having a High-Net Worth Investor or group to partner with in order to acquire the best financing from lending institutions. Nick and Eric also discuss the political and public process they go through in the pre-development phase and share tips on how to react when dealing with aggressive input and feedback from the NIMBY crowd.

We’re going to talk about some fun alternative asset classes today that will expand your thinking about what really constitutes rental property.
My guest today started his career in sports medicine and spent four summers with the Buffalo Bills as an athletic trainer. It didn’t take him long to realize that he loved business and wanted to become an entrepreneur.
Jeff Gebhart started flipping single family rentals and then pivoted to buying commercial properties in West Michigan. His company FNG Properties currently owns roughly $3 Million in Michigan real estate and is a limited partner in over $25 Million in multifamily nationally.
And here’s the fun part… Jeff is also an executive for Silver Lake Management Company, which operates four Craig’s Cruisers, Silver Lake Chicken Shack, Jellystone Campground, Dunes Express Hotel, and the new Billy Bones Best Ever Wings in Grandville, Michigan. Jeff is also a partner in Locked 460 Escape Rooms and the bass player for the locally famous Rocket Fuel Haulers, the unofficial #2 best cover band in Michigan.
Jeff is going to discuss each business model and how it relates to real estate investing, along with the ethos of fun, due diligence and customer service he brings to each endeavor. You’ll also learn how Jeff and his team realized they were in the restaurant business, even though they considered themselves to be in the ‘fun’ business. We’ll also talk about choosing your customer, maximizing your efficiency, and why multifamily real estate and passive investing outperform most other assets.
This is a super fun conversation that I know you’re going to enjoy. You can contact Jeff through email at jeff@craigscruisers.com

Hello and welcome to episode #300! This is a big number for us here on the Rental Property Owner and Real Estate Investor Show, and I want to thank all of you for being such an incredible and receptive audience.
To celebrate, I thought we’d invite back two early guests, so we can check in with them to see how their investing has progressed over the years, and how joining professional organizations like the RPOA have catapulted their investing strategies into new and more lucrative asset classes.
When we first talked with Jeremy and Melanie Garcia on episode #125, they were just getting started through house-hacking, flipping, and rehabbing in Muskegon, Michigan. That was three years ago, and they now have bought and sold over 65 properties, quit their full-time jobs, and entered into the Airbnb space.
Today we’re going to discuss the lessons they’ve learned in scaling their flipping business, why they’ve only worked with hard-money lenders, the aggressive paydown strategies they have to achieve passive cashflow, wraparound mortgages and reverse-engineering their business to achieve the lifestyle they dream of.
We’ll also discuss the multifamily property they recently acquired and the number one thing they did to boost net operating income, as well as their Airbnb strategy and how they differentiate their properties from other short-term rentals.
I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation with Jeremy and Melanie, and gain some tips on how to accelerate your investing business.

Today we’re going to talk about one of my favorite topics – demographics. Specifically, how Generation Z is going to amplify the trends that millennials have already established, such as delaying marriage and living with their friends into their 30’s.
It pays to understand these trends and the disruption they create in the traditional rental housing market. Concepts such as Shared Housing and Coliving are being monetized by savvy investors who see this as a lasting and lucrative trend.
My guest today is one of those investors. Johnny Wolff has roots in Silicon Valley and is the CEO and Founder of HomeRoom Coliving, which is one of the fastest growing coliving companies in the United States.
Today Johnny is going to compare and contrast the Millenial and Gen Z demographics and explain the minimum and maximum technology and services they expect to encounter when renting. Johnny will share the app he uses to create 3D tours, floor plans and dimensions of his properties, and the way he conducts his virtual tours and video interviews.
We’ll also talk about the type of property that works well for coliving, and how Johnny maximizes the space by adding bedrooms in order to increase rent income per square foot.
If you’re looking for ways to add upside value to the traditional rental housing model, then you definitely want to hear how Johnny is increasing net income by over 30%.

My guest today is a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor who hosts the excellent podcast called “Street Smart Success”.
Roger Becker is also a great guy and is not afraid to share the ups & downs of the deals he’s done, which include single family, commercial properties, and a rent-controlled multifamily in San Francisco.
Today Roger goes where very few investors care to travel --- he’ll be sharing some of the more painful investments he made and the lessons he learned from them. He’ll discuss the duplex he house hacked and how he was barely able to pay the mortgage each month. We’ll also talk about the 100% loss he experienced on a commercial office and retail property when he partnered with someone that seemed to know what they were doing but didn’t.
Roger will also go into detail on the 5-unit Rent Controlled Multifamily he acquired in San Francisco, and why he had to sell it when he realized that the tenants would never move out and allow him to increase rents to market rate. We’ll also discuss the difficult decision he faced to condo-ize the building, and how the next investor he sold it to did just that and faced the wrath of the neighbors, city, and media.
I know you’re going to enjoy listening to Roger’s stories and learning from his sometimes painful experiences. You can contract Roger through email: roger@streetsmartsuccess.com

Across the United States, Security Deposits tie up over $45 Billion dollars a year in non-interest-bearing accounts, and neither the landlord or the renter benefits from these funds while they’re just sitting there. The security deposit is meant to protect the landlord from any damages caused by the renter, but often when it comes to serious damage the landlord will have to take the tenant to court to get paid and often does not recoup the time, money and effort that this process requires.
There is an alternative to security deposits that some states are just beginning to recognize as legal. The concept of Security Deposit Insurance has been gaining momentum over the past several years, and my guest today is going to explain how it works to the landlord and renter’s benefit.
Paraag Sarva is the co-founder of Rhino, the leading security deposit insurance provider in the U.S. and he’s spent 10 years as a landlord in the New York metro area with over 250 units.
Today we’re going to discuss the disruptive nature of Security Deposit Insurance, how it works, the costs and benefits, and whether or not you or your property manager can provide this at your properties.

In order to understand how to structure an investment opportunity for your potential investors, you need to be clear on how the cash flow and profit will be distributed. This is called a Waterfall, and there always seems to be quite a bit of confusion as to what that actually means and how to convey it.
My friend Paul Moore recently wrote an in-depth article on Commercial Real Estate Waterfalls and I immediately contacted him to see if he’d share this valuable information with our listeners.
You may have heard Paul previously on this show talking about both apartment investing and self-storage. He is the Founder and Managing Partner of Wellings Capital and has completed over 85 real estate investments and exits.
Today Paul discusses the meaning of Preferred Return, Cash-On-Cash Return, Cumulative Return, and Internal Rate of Return v.s. Annualized Return. We discuss different deal structures and whether or not the sponsor/General Partner should receive a ‘Catch-up’. These are all terms you need to understand and carefully consider when structuring your deals, and they can make a big difference in the profit you and your investors receive.
Paul shares a lot of wisdom in this episode and you’ll definitely benefit from understanding these terms no matter what type of investor you happen to be. You can find out more about Paul and access his report on waterfalls through his website: https://www.wellingscapital.com

My guest today believes that the Best Time to Buy Real Estate was 20 Years ago, but the next best time is NOW.
Joe DiSanto built a multi-million-dollar post-production company, produced critically acclaimed films and Emmy-winning TV show, all while investing millions of dollars in real estate. Joe semi-retired at the age of 43, and now he’s sharing his lifetime of fiscal know-how through his company Play Louder, which helps people increase their net worth and strategize their plan for the future.
Today Joe shares the process he went through to acquire and build out two separate commercial office conversion projects for his company’s use. He utilized an SBA loan that he acquired through Lehman Brothers just before they collapsed at the start of the Great Recession. He also talks about the General Contractor challenges he had on his second property and the huge cost overruns that he had to mitigate himself.
Along the way we’ll discuss hydraulic car stackers that helped him add 4,500 sq. ft. to his office space, the two Emmy’s he won, and the HBO documentary series he produced with Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters.

One of the most lucrative ways to invest in real estate is to find an underperforming, tired multifamily property and bring it back to life through better management, renovations, and capital improvements. I’ve done this myself many times and have added exponential value to the property and investment.
My guest today is going to share with us the five most important steps you must follow when renovating a multifamily apartment property. He’s also going to tell you what to look for in an investment sponsor if you’d prefer to invest passively in these types of opportunities.
Ken Gee is the founder and managing partner of KRI Partners and the KRI group of companies. He has over 24 years of real estate, banking, private equity transaction, and principal investing experience. He’s also been involved with transactions valued at over $2 Billion dollars.
Today Ken’s going to take us through the five most important steps his team takes when acquiring and improving a multifamily apartment project, the importance of understanding the market you’re investing in, the amenities he likes to add, and why you should wait at least 30 days before beginning any improvements.
We’ll also discuss the three things you should look for in a sponsor you might invest with passively, including their track record and the way they prioritize their investors.
