During the Great Recession there was a lot of opportunity for those who knew how to invest in short sales and foreclosure properties.  As the economy improved over the past 10 years, these strategies were needed less and less for various reasons.

But now with Coronavirus’ impact on our economy, is this cycle starting up again?  My guest today not only has an answer to that question, she is actively investing in, and teaching others to invest in, pre-foreclosure and short sales.

Dwan Bent-Twyford has been on numerous TV shows, she’s written four best-sellers, runs her own blog and YouTube channel, and her mission is to teach people how to build a business that they can pass down to their grandchildren, just like she’s doing.

Today, Dwan is going to do a deep dive into short sales and the foreclosure process.  She will share who she contacts at the bank and the conversation she has with them, her persuasion techniques to get the price she wants, and how she finds her distressed homeowners through strategic marketing.  Dwan will also discuss her outlook on the opportunities to expect due to the coronavirus’ effect on borrower’s ability to pay their mortgages.

This is a great episode for anyone who is looking for ways to find properties off-market by dealing directly with the seller and lender. You can contact Dwan through her website and continue the experience through her podcast:

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 all new 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:

You may remember a podcast conversation I had with UK investor Susannah Cole several months ago where she shared the HMO concept – Homes of Multiple Occupancy.  This is somewhat unique in the United States, but very prevalent in the UK, and it basically is a co-living situation where professionals rent out rooms in a shared house.  I wasn’t really aware of this concept in the U.S. outside student housing, group homes and boarding houses, but apparently my guest today has been quite successful at it.

Shortly after Susannah’s episode aired I was contacted by Ron Thomas, an investor out of Albuquerque, New Mexico who has not only developed this model for his real estate business, but claims it works better than any other real estate strategy he’s tried.

Ron has been developing and perfecting his sytems for Shared Residence since 2009, and teaches his model to other local real estate investors.  Today he’s going to explain how it works and how he’s averaging $1,000 net per property.  We’ll also discuss the type of home that works best for this strategy, how Ron markets to his residents, and some creative financing strategies that can keep the acquisition cost reasonable.

Ron has a lot of great wisdom to share in this episode that every level of investor will benefit from. You can find out more about Ron and his training by going to https://courses.shared-residence.com

One of the things I’m trying to accomplish during this Coronavirus Pandemic is systematizing and streamlining my business in order to become a leaner and more efficient real estate investor in this new and uncertain economy.

One of the ways I’d like to do that, but I don’t really understand it or know how to execute on it, is through the use of Virtual Assistants. How do I find the right fit and in what ways can they make my business even more successful?

That’s why I’m looking forward to our conversation with Amy Ransdell today.  Amy is the CMO for virtual assistant provider REVA Global and lead generation company Deal-Dialers.  She also runs an investment team and brokerage sales team in Marietta Georgia and has been buying, renovating, and wholesaling homes for over 18 years.

What does it take to raise OPM “Other People’s Money” in order to acquire larger real estate deals than you’d ordinarily be able to do by yourself?  Should you be thinking about raising OPM in order to take your investing business to the Next Level?

According to my guest today, it takes a certain type of person to thrive in syndicating and 40% of the people he’s seen do their first syndication deal never do it again.

That’s why he wrote a book about Syndication and its pitfalls called “Syndicating is a BI#@H: And Other Truths You Haven’t Been Told”. And today Bruce Petersen is here to discuss these truths and help you figure out if syndication is a road you want to travel.

Bruce built his Apt-Guy empire and wealth by syndicating over 1,100 units in real estate, and today he’s going to share his secrets to success. We’ll be discussing the importance of having a mentor or coach, how he raised money for his first syndication without having a track record, and the many challenges and surprises he encountered while syndicating.

Bruce also has some great stories about the dead guy in the pool, failing bathtubs, the uncomfortable conversations he’s had to have with investors, and the $5 Million dollar wire that disappeared and what really happened to it.

I know you’re going to get a lot of great syndication knowledge from today’s conversation.  You can contact Bruce by going to www.apt-guy.com or on Instagram at apt.guy.com or facebook at “the apt guy”.

Up until early March we were in a booming real estate market with high valuations and a bright economic future.  Now, seemingly overnight, we find ourselves in a new kind of recession and it’s hard to see just how it will end and whether real estate will hold its value.

As real estate values increase, so too does the idea of selling your investment property and taking your profits off the table.  One of the major considerations in doing so however, are the tax consequences.  Many investors choose not to sell because they simply don’t want to pay taxes on their long-term gains.

There is a way, however, to take those gains and not pay taxes on them by transitioning those profits into a different investment property. I’m talking about the 1031 exchange, and it’s a tool that you can use to delay paying those taxes.

Dave Foster is a 1031 Exchange Expert, and he’s here today to help us understand how it works.  Dave is the Founder & CEO of the 1031 Exchange Investor, and he’s also a degreed accountant and serial real estate investor, as well as a qualified intermediary and consultant.  Today he’s going to share his tax saving strategies in order to help you maximize your real estate investment returns.

We’ll be discussing the timeline you must follow when doing a 1031 exchange, why you must have a qualified intermediary, the types of properties and investments you can do this with, and whether or not you can 1031 into a syndication.  Dave also shares some great examples and unique 1031 strategies that I guarantee will make you say 'Wow'!

If you’ve ever considered selling an investment property and sheltering your profits through a 1031 exchange, you’ll definitely want to hear what Dave has to say.  You can contact Dave through his website www.the1031investor.com
