You may have seen his viral video “I Stole a House” which details how squatters exploit the system for illicit financial gain. It got tens of millions of views across all platforms, and led him to be a guest on Dr. Phil and NewsNation, as well as features on Fox News and Joe Rogan.
George McCleary is here today to discuss the squatting epidemic, as well as related crimes like deed fraud. Both are hot-button issues that affect all homeowners and rental property owners nationwide, and not just in liberal jurisdictions.

It always amazes me how many real estate investors are still doing their own year-end taxes, or they’re working with a tax preparer who doesn’t specialize in real estate.
While hiring an expert to do your taxes can be expensive, it’s much preferable to the alternative, which is not maximizing the powerful tax benefits you receive from investing in real estate.
My guest today is a profit first accountant who has saved her clients over $1 billion in taxes.
Shauna The Tax Goddess is going to share the top tax saving strategies for real estate investors. We’ll be discussing cost segregation, real estate professional status, and the differences between short-term rental and long-term rental taxation.
Shauna is also going to share some strategies that many investors aren’t even aware of, such as paying your children, renting out your personal residence for less than 14 days tax-free, and writing off your dog.

As a real estate investor you may have noticed that it has gotten a lot more difficult to acquire financing for your projects. That’s why it’s so important to build your lender relationships.

Today, I’m thrilled to speak with Bobby Fisher, who has helped me source many of my loans under some challenging circumstances.
Bobby is a top West Michigan area commercial loan producer and has expansive experience in commercial real estate and commercial real estate development lending. He’s also the Vice President of Commercial Loans at West Shore Bank.

This apartment investing panel discussion was recorded live at the 2024 Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference sponsored by the RPOA.
Thanks for joining us today on this apartment investing panel discussion where we will be exploring the unique challenges and opportunities associated with multifamily and apartment investing.
You’ll be hearing from three panelists who own, operate and asset manage apartments, and we’ll be offering practical insights on maximizing returns, managing risks, and scaling your portfolio effectively.
Now, let’s meet our panel.
Anthony Chara is a seasoned real estate investor with over 22 years of experience. He has owned or managed several successful multi-million dollar companies during that period, and owns and/or has syndicated approximately 1,600 apartment units around the country. He has also mentored several thousand aspiring real estate investors.
Nick Wyma is the Director of Property Management with Wyma Properties and Lakeside Real Estate Services, which owns and manages over 250 doors.
He’s been investing for 12 years in B-class apartment communities, single-family homes, and commercial buildings. Multifamily is hands-down his favorite asset class.
Nick is also a 3rd generation RPOA member and the current RPOA President.
Allison Koetsier is an Associate Broker with Compass Realty Services and has been a real estate owner and investor for over 20 years.
She owns just under 100 B & C class units including single families, small multi's and smaller apartment complexes.
Allison is also the #1 seller of multifamily properties as a realtor in greater Grand Rapids over the past 15 years.
There seems to be a lot of fear in the commercial real estate world about the amount of distress in commercial office buildings. In San Francisco, a Market Street tower that was purchased for $62 million in 2016 was recently sold for $6.6 million. That’s a 90% haircut!
But where many see distress and ruin, my guest today sees opportunity.
Scott Sherman of Torose Equities is actively acquiring office buildings and retail spaces at a time when many are hesitant to do so.
Scott is here today to discuss his strategy for identifying, buying and financing distressed trophy assets in the office and retail space in high-entry barrier markets such as Miami, Tampa, and other US cities.

One of the biggest expenses in owning rental property is the cost of utilities—electric, gas, water, sewer and trash.
The better we understand these costs and how to control them, the greater our profit potential can be.
Often, tenants are responsible for paying their own utilities, but many owners pay these costs on behalf of the tenants because of how the systems are split and billed by the various providers.
Today, we discuss how owners can maximize ROI through submetering (the practice of installing individual meters for utilities (such as water, electricity, or gas) in rental units or properties) and utility billing with Kelly Koontz, President of Submeter Solutions.

Today we’re going to talk about some of the major trends that will affect real estate investing over the next decade.
We all know there’s a housing shortage in the U.S., but how does this offer local investors a special advantage? Demographics play an important role, with Gen Z leading a youth movement that has created a visible shift in the market.
With over 15 million vacant homes in this country, could those properties help solve the housing shortage? If so, how can investors get access to them?
We’ll be discussing these topics and trends today with Kurt Carlton, the Co-Founder and President of New Western - the largest home buyer in the United States.

After the housing crash in 2008, millions of struggling homeowners asked for loan modifications with their lenders. Many of these homeowners were relieved to find out that their lender was willing to forgive their 2nd mortgage as part of the modification process.
That was all well and good, and it saved borrowers hundreds, if not thousands, in monthly payments.
But now those loans are coming back to haunt them, and the investment groups that bought up those loans for pennies on the dollar are foreclosing on them in order to sell the property at a profit.
There are few people who understand this strategy better than my guest today. Shante Duffy is a trusted expert in the note space, and she’s going to help us understand this strategy from the investor’s point of view and offer suggestions to homeowners who might find themselves in this situation.

We recorded this exciting panel on boutique hotels and resorts at the recent 2024 Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference.
As the host of this podcast, Brian Hamrick doesn’t often have the opportunity to discuss his own investments. But today he sits down with two of his partners to share how they’ve been applying the short-term rental model to recent acquisitions of a boutique hotel and several resorts, along with the challenges faced, and the strategies employed to find success.
Jeremy Garcia and his wife Melanie own quite a few vacation rentals in Muskegon Michigan, and several years ago we partnered on building out an 8-unit boutique hotel in downtown Muskegon. We also acquired a 7-cabin, 3-house resort in North Muskegon with beautiful Lake Michigan frontage.
And we’ve started our own short-term rental property management company called DreamStay – go to www.bookdreamstay.com
Alex Jarbo lives in Asheville, North Carolina and is a writer on short-term rentals for Bigger Pockets.
Several years ago, Alex was on the Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Investor podcast talking about his short-term rental A-frames. Brian and Alex kept in touch after recording that episode, and in 2022 Alex got an amazing resort under contract just outside of Asheville with six cabins and a 6-bed, 6-bath Victorian house on 11 acres that can also serve as an event location for weddings and other gatherings.
You can check that property out at www.engadineInn.com.

Everyone is paying close attention to the Federal Reserve and wondering when they will begin lowering interest rates.
The lower-than-expected jobs report from two weeks ago certainly got people excited, but inflation is still being stubborn.
What is really going on with our economy, and how can we cut through the noise of the popular media and focus on the data that really matters?
In economic times of doubt, it helps to have Dr. Paul Isely make sense of what’s really going on and what we should be paying attention to.
Paul is the Associate Dean and Economist for Undergraduate Programs in the Seidman College of Business at Grand Valley State University. He may not always tell us what we want to hear, but when he speaks, everyone listens.
Today we'll discuss interest rates, inflation, Climate Migration, West Michigan, AI Robots and the upcoming demographic cliff.
On Wednesday, August 7th, Paul Isely will be joining us for an in-person luncheon event to dive deeper into how these and other factors are transforming the real estate landscape in West Michigan and beyond, presenting new challenges and opportunities for investors.

When it comes to real estate investing, there are two types of investors – those who choose to actively find, fund, and manage their portfolio, and those who prefer to take a more passive role and let other professionals handle the work and time commitment.
