My guest today can best be described as someone who has overcome great odds to achieve incredible things. 

Terrica Lynn Smith is a real estate broker and investor holding over 250 properties in Louisiana.  She’s the developer of a $14Million mixed-use community and founding partner of one of the largest private real estate crowdfunding companies in her state.  She also has created her own board game that she designed to teach development concepts, and she’s been invited to the White House.

Terrica has also had to overcome enormous difficulties and challenges, including growing up in the foster system, homelessness, and Hurricane Katrina.

Today Terrica is going to share how she was able to get her real estate license after failing the test many times, how she realized that 3% commissions weren’t going to cut it, how she sought out a particular type of client, and why most of those clients left her when she made a pivotal business decision.

We’ll also discuss Terrica’s rehab projects, the board game she developed to teach development principles, and the mixed-use $14Million development she’ll be breaking ground on in 2021.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one to four-unit residential properties has reached the highest level since 2010, when we were deep into the great recession.  As of November 2020, over 7.6% of borrowers are 90 days or more behind on paying their mortgage.  In the midst of this national crisis, what effect is this having on investors who own and service their notes.

And how are these investors working with their borrowers to provide forbearance and other options to keep people in their homes?

What does it mean to build Legacy Wealth in real estate investing?  Many of us are doing deals, making our offers, rehabbing and flipping our properties, and trying to make a profit.  But when we look beyond our day-to-day workflow, what do we see ahead of us?  Are we actually building Legacy Wealth that will allow us to retire with passive cashflow and support our families when we’re gone?

We’re going to discuss that topic today with Joe Bell. He’s an expert at helping Real Estate Professionals build legacy retirement and wealth, and he’s the author of “Asset Acquisitions & Abundance: A Guide To Building True Wealth & Legacy Through Real Estate”

Joe has been named in the “Top 40 Under 40” in Alaska, and has been featured in places such as ABC, NBC, Digital Journal, Investor Place, and more.

Real Estate Investing can present many challenges that both new and seasoned investors find difficult to overcome.  If you’re investing out-of-state, it might be difficult to get a broker price opinion, title search, or secure a property that has gone vacant.

In my own business, we quite often need someone to mow the lawn on an REO, or help us create a Dodd Frank compliant mortgage.  More often than not, we find ourselves needing to ‘cure’ a title defect on a non-performing note.

These are all complicated tasks that are either time-consuming or outside our area of expertise.  That’s why it’s so important to have a ‘guy’ who can handle it.

Dickie Baldwin is that guy, and through his company, Baldwin Advisory Group, he helps investors all over the country with many types of legal, property, title, and financing challenges.  Dickie has over 35 years of Real Estate experience as a Realtor, Loan Originator and Mortgage Professional.  He’s solved many problems for investors, and he’s here to share some of those stories with us.

Dickie will be discussing the importance of due diligence, why you need a reputable broker to create your BPO (Broker Price Opinion), why a Title Search is always a good idea, and many of the other considerations investors must make while investing across state borders.

When it comes to successful real estate investing, having access to reliable and accurate data can have a huge impact on your profit potential.  Technology has brought us to a point where there’s an abundance of data available, you just have to know where to find it and how to use it properly.  Today’s guest is levelling the playing field by helping small businesses and investors get access to the same data and public records that are coveted by larger firms.

Sean O’Toole flipped over 150 properties in Silicon Valley before he strategically exited the market in 2006 to focus on real estate technology.  He founded ForeclosureRadar in 2007, and in 2013 he pivoted away from foreclosures to general real estate with the launch of PropertyRadar.

Today, Sean is going to help us understand how data should drive our decisions, what we should look for when applying data to our due diligence, and why having access to the right data can create a consistent pipeline of opportunities and be a game changer.  We’re also going to discuss ‘Information Arbitrage’ and how understanding that concept has helped Sean profit from deals other investors have avoided.

Sean is sharing a glimpse into a world that most investors spend little time understanding or researching.  But those who do take the time can develop x-ray vision into opportunities that might scare away other investors.

Many businesses are struggling to stay afloat during this Covid-19 pandemic, and Commercial real estate is no exception.  So how can real estate investors and professionals stay ahead of the curve, and what type of calculated risks could actually be beneficial for commercial real estate?

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.

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:

Housing values have been rising steadily since the Great Recession, and many people, like myself, have been watching from the sidelines while investors and homeowners pay prices we wouldn’t have dreamed of ten years ago.  Many investors think the housing market shows troubling similarities to 2008, but my guest today disagrees and believes the housing boom is just getting started and today he’s going to explain ‘why’.

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

 

Oct 26, 2020

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:

Hello & welcome to episode 250.  We’ve reached the quarter-century mark and I thought I'd do things a little differently to celebrate this milestone.  We’re not going to have a guest today, I’m just going to spend a little time talking with you about the show: giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at how we put it together, answering some of your questions and feedback, and sharing the systems, technology & lessons I’ve learned from hosting this show over the past 249 episodes.

I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes tour.  I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share these past 250 episodes with you, and want to thank the incredible team at the Rental Property Association for making it possible.

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

Investing in Performing or Non-Performing Notes can yield incredibly lucrative results for those who know what they're doing.  But if you are a beginner there will be many pitfalls and challenges you'll need to overcome in order to be successful.  Back in February 2020 at the RPOA Annual Conference we held an expert panel roundtable to discuss best practices and the situations note investors should avoid.  You'll enjoy hearing our expert's many stories and examples, as well as their greatest hits & losses.

Donna Bauer is a trainer and coach who has done every type of real estate transaction: buying, selling, leasing – everything having to do with real property.  She’s also done every type of note deal whether it be performing, non-performing, seller-financed or anything in-between, and she will tell you that hands-down she prefers paper over property any day of the week.  

Gene Chandler has 46 years of real estate investing experience and is the asset manager for Chandler & Chandler Financial, which specializes in buying one-off and large & small pools of distressed assets directly from banks, hedge funds, and private equity groups.

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. 

Amy’s deepest passion is to empower people to grow their investment skills and entrepreneurial fortitude, and today she’s going to help us do that by sharing how we can best utilize virtual assistants.

Amy is going to explain the mindset that VA’s are an investment and not an expense, the DISC personality profiling she puts her VA’s through, and the process investor’s need to follow to determine if hiring a VA is right for them.

I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation with Amy. If you’ve never considered hiring a VA you’ll definitely be considering it after listening to this episode.

Amy can be contacted through email @ amy@revaglobal.com or https://revaglobal.com
