Really comes down to lack of control. That's where Profit First, I feel like how does that fix that not only helps you to focus on it, but it helps you focus on your finances from your perspective, from the entrepreneur, because we check our bank accounts. And Profit First is all about bank accounts. It's all about the practical steps, I should say." - David Richter "It is all about that mindset shift from paying everyone else first besides yourself. That's why I like the practical steps because we hear it so often from so many different sources to pay yourself first. But then, until you start getting into that habit and seeing the tangible benefits of doing that, it's hard for that mindset to sink in. Unless you can totally see the goal line." - David Richter "Many people, when they think they're savvy, and they can read the financial statements, and they can do this, in that there's a big difference between the financial statements like a profit and loss and the actual cash going in and out of the accounts, especially in the real estate investing world because we deal with loans." - David Richter Connect with David Richter: Website: https://simplecfosolutions.com/profit-first-david-richter/ Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Starting his real estate career in 2009, he has built a successful business working with buyers, sellers, land development, new construction, and investors.   In this episode, Marc shares how he got started in real estate by diving into it with both feet. He found ways to get close and obtain as much knowledge and expertise from the experts in the real estate industry and build his portfolio by starting with flipping and now shifting to what he currently focuses on -- storage facilities.   What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode: Find out an investment portfolio that works as flipping but is a better idea than that Discover a strategy he took to get the tools, knowledge, and expertise to become a smart real estate investor Find out another investment strategy that is simplified, easier to manage and maintain but earns good profits just the same   Resource: Website: https://www.jkpropertypartners.com/     Topics Covered:   00:59 - How he got interested in real estate 01:55 - Which property deals did he start out with 02:26 - His idea of flipping at the time he started 03:55 - From realtor to investor 05:11 - What appealed to him about this investment portfolio 05:53 - Added more facilities to the portfolio 06:12 - The market he is focusing on now 06:36 - Market fundamentals in the area that make it an excellent place to invest in 07:22 - No big swings for him just something steady 08:17 - Big benefits for investing in storage facilities 09:19 - Why choose storage facilities over apartments 10:44 - How are storage facilities recession-resistant 11:34 - Comparing the amount of rent per square footage of storage facility versus the rent for the whole apartment 11:58 - Lower overhead costs 12:55 - What's his main advantage over other investors   Key Takeaways:   "My idea was to get into an office [brokerage] where there were experts all around me, and so anything I wanted to learn or have questions about, I could just literally godown the hall, I could just go talk to an expert in the region. I got to learn there, the market very well." - Marc Bushee   "One of the big appealing factors for us about storage facilities is that they're easier to manage, they're easier to maintain. And they're just, it's just more simplified." - Marc Bushee   "From a property management standpoint, [storage facilities] it just simplifies everything, having one central location. I've kind of transferred over most of my property management to other people. It's not always easy to find property managers that want to have 10,15, 20, 30 houses all over town. It's so much easier to have just one site like that." - Marc Bushee   "I can't see where you can go wrong with it [real estate]. There's so much to it as far as like the income itself, there's the wealth-building aspect of your asset appreciating. Ideally, someone's paying off your mortgage, and you're leveraging money, leveraging time." - Marc Bushee   "Is it for everyone to be directly involved in it [real estate]?

That's what the REIA really has done -- it teaches us how to be successful in the environment that we're in." - Zach Weaver   "You need the education to be an engineer or a doctor or lawyer. The same is true in real estate. To be able to be successful here, you need an education. The sophisticated investor has a leg up on everybody else.

What you will learn from today's episode:   Find out an investment strategy that can weather down any economic or market downturns Learn about what economic fundamentals you should consider in choosing the market you invest in    Discover strategies to prepare properly, give your business a good cushion, and have a reserve fund for any market reversals    Resource:   Website: https://comfortlivingproperties.com/   Summary:   Demetri Boundris is a passionate professional real estate investor, realtor, and entrepreneur. He thrives on helping others achieve their goals by investing in real estate. He has invested in real estate for 14 years in areas that exhibit excellent economic fundamentals. With his knowledge and experience, he has acquired properties that provide exceptional returns on investment capital.   In this episode, Demetri shares how investing in commercial multifamily properties allowed him a buffer from any economic losses and how anyone can get involved in real estate investing by becoming an active or passive investor.

Topics Covered:   01:00 - Sharing his background in real estate investing 02:03 - The type of commercial real estate that he has invested in 02:54 - What ignited his interest in real estate at an early stage in his life 04:33 - Why he is engaging in bigger deals 05:57 - Reasons why he is dealing with multifamily investing 07:11 - His latest BRRRR property 08:24 - What kind of property was his five-plex when he acquired it? 10:09 - How long is the turnaround for his recent BRRRR property 11:31 - His market preference for his BRRRR properties and why he has a good reason to invest there 12:55 - Preparing for the bad times 14:27 - What sets him apart from other investors and the creative ways you can create more income 17:30 - Lessons learned from his real estate investing journey 18:39 - Is real estate investing for everyone, and what are the two ways you can be investing in real estate   Key Takeaways:   "The main reason why I invested in real estate was basically for time and to have some options in my life. By making some extra cash flow and having some financial freedom down the road from real estate, I could do what I want with my time." - Demetri Boundris   "It [multifamily commercial properties] produces a little bit more cash flow as well like economies of scale so the more units, generally, really do that. That's one of the reasons why I do like it." - Demetri Boundris   "[His unfair advantage] I think it's finding creative ways to generate more income and properties that some others don't see, like, adding lockers, renting a garage on the property that someone didn't see the opportunity to do, and adding a laundry room." - Demetri Boundris   "Don't pass up on a good deal." - Demetri Boundris   "I don't think it's [real estate investing] for everybody, certainly being an active realtor. But I do think that to some degree, real estate investing can be for everybody. Some people may just want to do it passively. They just want to invest the money and let somebody else take care of everything else, but it certainly can do a lot for someone's life." - Demetri Boundris   Connect with Demetri Boundris:   Website: https://comfortlivingproperties.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/demetri-boundris-c-e-t-me-b22004158/   Connect with Dave Dubeau:   Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  

Jonathan Farber achieved financial freedom at 27. He left his corporate enterprise technology sales job to focus on traditional rentals, short-term rentals, Airbnb arbitrage, and wholesaling podcasting, and course creation. He leads a mastermind group of people looking to start real estate investing. He started with house hacking from 21-25 and then started buying traditional rentals and short-term rentals with creative acquisition and financing strategies. Jonathan has done this by using virtual assistants, systems, and a few close team members. In this episode, Jonathan shares how things become more efficient and productive for him as he takes advantage of outsourcing tasks he doesn't like doing, are repetitive and is not good at.  Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Find out how you can be more productive and grow more your real estate business by leveraging virtual assistants Learn how you can start outsourcing to virtual assistants and free yourself of repetitive tasks and focus more on the essential things in your business Discover resources you can hire VAs for without costing you much Resources/Links:  Website: https://jonfarber.co/ Topics Covered:  01:52 - How has his real estate business benefited from having VAs around 02:32 - What is this 'root cause analysis' about 03:26 - His system for productivity 08:06 - Why outsource to a virtual assistant 10:23 - What more can you gain advantage from having virtual assistants 15:59 - Something you can start outsourcing  Key Takeaways:  "I think the mantra with VA is that 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing. It's like an overused, trite expression. But so true. We're all perfectionists. And what I think about with a lot of activities is root cause analysis, like why am I not doing the thing that I want to do?" - Jonathan Farber "I would say my system for productivity is a combination of like EOS, Traction, one thing, these are all books, but you know, just for me, like identifying what were the pieces that I like doing, that I'm good at doing? And then what are the things that I don't like doing and I'm not good at doing." - Jonathan Farber "I think there's really only three things that can't be outsourced, which are taking care of your body, making goals, and creating relationships. Other than that, I feel like almost everything tactically can be outsourced." - Jonathan Farber "I think the absolute easiest way is getting a logo done. I think for a lot of people, it'll open up the mind to the possibility of outsourcing something that in our heads would think is very, may be expensive or difficult." - Jonathan Farber Connect with Jonathan Farber:  Website: https://jonfarber.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanfarber1/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.farber.9 Facebook Group on Real Estate Mentorship Mastermind:https://www.facebook.com/groups/860025821084224/ Biggerpockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/jonathanf29 Podcast Systems University Course: https://jonjfarber.clickfunnels.com/opt-in1613585347289 Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

George Grombacher is the president of Money Alignment Academy and the host of the Lifeblood podcast. He's working to help people get better at money so they can live how they want. In this episode, George talks about what most people’s limiting beliefs about money are, how to become aware of it, and the steps you can do to overcome it. He also shares about handling debt as this is what most people are stuck with that prevents them from being financially secure and prosperous. He also doubles down on the importance of having a budget as this helps you in forecasting for properties to buy where your real estate business is concerned. He also talks about what his Money Alignment Academy is all about and what’s in it for you. Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Find out how to know if you are going through a negative money mindset so you become aware and take action in the right direction Discover about the process of overcoming scarcity mindset so you create abundance and become a successful real estate investor Find out how to be financially secure in six months so you end up getting financially prosperous Resources/Links:  Website: https://moneyalignmentacademy.com/   Topics Covered:  01:04 - The negative money mindset most people have 02:29 - What you can do to turn around that limiting money belief 04:29 - How to know if you are suffering from a negative money mindset 05:11 - Managing debts, getting out of it, and become financially prosperous 08:10 - Key points you need to remember about having debts 09:27 - Why have a budget 10:28 - What a budget is in a nutshell 11:29 - A budget guide you can consider 12:46 - Why more budget percentage on wants than savings 14:15 - Talking about Money Alignment Academy -- what’s it all about Key Takeaways:  “How do I know if I'm suffering from that? I think that if you are plateaued,  you sort of go along doing the same thing, and foods are kind of bland to you. You're just not taking steps up. Or if you feel like you're in a rut, then I bet that you have some kind of negative belief about money or some kind of a negative limiting script running in your head.” - George Grombacher “Once you recognize if you do have some kind of a limiting or negative belief about money, well, then it's just a matter of starting to dig into why it is that I think that and it's probably not a rational thing. Once you become mindful of it, then you can actually start to be logical about it and say, “I'm feeling this way, but I'm not going to act on that, or I'm going to choose to act in this fashion.” - George Grombacher “When we get into debt -- credit card, that's when we stop living, and you start surviving because you get to service debt.”  - George Grombacher “I want everybody to be rich, I want everybody to have financial prosperity, but you can never get financial prosperity unless you have financial security. And that six months will get you there. So get out of credit card debt.” - George Grombacher “I don't have any negative opinion about debt, like taking out a loan to buy real estate. I think that's awesome. Do that. But you and I both know that  consumer debt is just crushing, and it stops you from becoming successful.”- George Grombacher “There's no certainty in the world, we just don't know what's going to happen next. But that really positions you and it gives you a little bit of certainty at least looking backward. And you are more in charge of your cash flow when you have a budget.” - George Grombacher Connect with George Grombacher:  Website: https://moneyalignmentacademy.com/ Podcast: https://moneyalignmentacademy.com/lifebloodpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glgrombacher Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgegrombacher/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GLGrombacher/ Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Have you heard about rental cottages and how it's creating a buzz in the real estate business? Are you interested to know how to go about these investment strategies and cash flow strongly even during off-peak season? How about learning all the tips and tricks about expense management, as these are critical to running your rental cottage business? These and more on the Free Flow Friday on the Property Profits Podcast. We have our guest presenter to share everything about that. Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you’ll learn from today’s episode: Learn about one of the best tools to use to accelerate growth in your cottage rental business Find out how to keep massive cash flows and get top dollars from rental cottages Discover how to turn those rental cottages into Instagram-worthy experiences for renters to want them for possible bookings with you Resources/Links: Website: https://www.simplyparadisefr.com/ Topics Covered: 03:14 - Talking about the cottage rental business, how we got into it, and of the deals he did 03:56 - What a 'Vendor Takeback' mortgage is 06:16 - Taking advantage of an opportunity that presented itself 08:29 - One great strategy and tool when buying rental cottages 10:07 - A great way to add value to a property 13:05 - Where and how to get renters and fill vacancies for your rental cottages 14:16 - Other things that have become effective in running rental cottages 14:41 - How offseason marketing looks like 17:33 - Challenges encountered during COVID and how it turned around 20:52 - Tips and tricks around expense management 27:04 - Where Kyle's focus is on the whole rental cottage business 28:56 - Recalling how rental cottages was just a lifestyle investment which turned out into a primary source of income Key Takeaways: "Great tool for you to use when you're negotiating on buying cottages. It can be an emotional experience for the family to be selling the property. We negotiated a one-year close. So we're going to make the offer today at a greater price, put the deposit down today. And the way we positioned that wasn't, 'Hey, we're not ready to buy it right now.' It gives the whole family one last summer; every kid gets a week at the cottage. Everyone gets a chance to say goodbye to it. And then we'll be closed in the following year. It worked out really well. They went for it right away." - Kyle Ford "Airbnb is a great tool. It's one of the core calendars that we use in our business; the actual format and layout of Airbnb are fantastic. It's a great way to fill our vacancies. But the bulk of what we do is actually on Facebook. We rent to people who don't even know that they're looking for cottages. So Chelsea will post in buy and sell groups, Facebook marketplace, just pictures of our cottage and we get a ton of bookings through that." - Kyle Ford "Here are some tips and tricks around expense management. Our businesses are basically all Google Drive now, links really well, shares on email. We use a Google Sheet to communicate with our maintenance people. At the point right now we have a full-time guest experience manager that does all the front end of the business, and my fiance' does all the sales." - Kyle Ford "We run our cleaning in-house now where we have our own staff cleaners, as well. Generally, that's not going to make sense for you until you hit about the five-property range. Until then, work and hire with a reputable cleaner or cleaning company and pay them well. Do not nickel and dime these cleaners, especially if you're not local to the property. These people can be your holy grail." - Kyle Ford "Put professional cottage check-in instructions, the FAQs. Some things might seem obvious to you. But if you've never been there, you don't necessarily know we have people traveling from abroad who don't speak English. So when they're coming to this new country, a new cottage, they don't necessarily know everything. Now translating these things can be harder. But giving them as much information as possible is going to make your life easier from a management perspective." - Kyle Ford Connect with Kyle Ford: Website: https://www.simplyparadisefr.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?

We had a lot of those people fizzle away. But we started to attract a lot of people that did like the conversations that we were having and did like the people that we were becoming.” - Mandy Branham   “I started to fish in a pond that I knew was fish. I was going to networking groups. So in this time of virtual and digital networking, I want you to go where there are other like-minded investors.  I want you to be going to like-minded sites with people who are talking, thinking about investing.” - Mandy Branham  “It started out with a deal that had to be so good that I was willing to put my own name on it. And so people kind of got that confidence level of ‘Well, if Mandy's willing to put her money on it, then I'm willing to put my money on a deal that I know.” - Mandy Branham  “How we hold the asset in the joint venture is one of the important factors that people need to understand. Another thing to really understand is the exit strategy for the joint venture to be able to go in and that's identified in the joint venture agreement, this is a five-year buy and hold. This is a three-year flip, or this is a three-year buy-and-hold. And so nobody is shocked and shaken when five years comes up.” - Mandy Branham  “The other thing really, really, really big in a joint venture agreement is to identify very clearly, whose roles and responsibilities are.” - Mandy Branham  Connect with Mandy Branham:  Website: https://mandybranham.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/j_v_queen/ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/solutionsdrivenpropertygroup/ LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/mandy-branham Google Business Page: https://g.page/mandy-brahnam?share  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

And the best part is, I don't need to create it, I get smart people on my podcast talking about what they do. And they create the content for me.” - Dave Dubeau “It's another great way to connect with amazing JV partners. I don't just mean JV partners in the sense of other investors, although you'll probably find those there that you're interviewing, but also cross-promotional partners, people that you can work with.” - Dave Dubeau “There are lots of people that have podcasts that are seen as an authority. This just naturally throws you in the same boat. It's kind of like having a book as an author, you're automatically assumed to be an authority if you're an author, the same thing if you run your own podcast.” - Dave Dubeau Here's another cool thing, a shortcut to you. Meeting high-level people, even with a small podcast, you can get some ‘celebrity guests. It's not that tough to get somebody like Grant Cardone, like Robert Kiyosaki, like these kinds of people onto your podcast, even if you don't have a huge list.”  - Dave Dubeau “This is a great way for you to open the door with people that are kind of hard to reach. You could interview people that might not pay attention to you, otherwise, they will, if you've got a podcast.” - Dave Dubeau  “I interview you, you interview me. We both benefit. So this is another one of the reasons it's been so easy for us to get interviewed on so many different podcasts because almost all podcasts hosts would also love to be interviewed well.” - Dave Dubeau   Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?

He also shares why it is beneficial for real estate investors to join a club and how COVID affected their organization.   Checkout: REAL ESTATE CLUB/ASSOCIATION SPOTLIGHT: https://www.utahreia.org/    What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Find out what Utah REIA is all about and   Learn about the reasons why a real estate investor should belong to a real estate investors organization Discover the benefits of being a member of a real estate investors association    Key Takeaways:    “So I looked into options and found that there was no local national REIA chapter here in Utah. And I thought, you know, why not take what, and a curriculum I developed a little bit, which should give us almost a year's worth of teaching topics, and work with the National REIA, to bring in some additional benefits, like with Home Depot and some other national service providers and, you know, provide another opportunity, cause there, there were a couple other clubs operating at the time.” - Geoff Dearing   “Well, I think the by far the biggest benefit is the cost for the benefit, I mean, a membership to our organization starts around $120 annually, little under 10 bucks, you know, like 10 bucks a month, where you'll have these really expensive coaching programs or education programs, as they call them, that can run into the 10s of 1000s, if not hundreds of 1000s of dollars.” - Geoff Dearing   “I think the other benefit is that they get to rub shoulders with active real estate investors like yourself, who are actually doing what they want to do. And it's a way to really get the reality and the possibilities brought home.” - Dave Dubeau   “Yeah, that was another point I was definitely going to tackle is, that it allows you to not only because we have primarily local speakers from other successful investors, so people can come and pick those teachers' brains you know and get to know them. And that also attracts other investors wanting to learn” - Geoff Dearing   “Yeah, but after they see other people succeed, and like you said, they take that and they're like, I can do that. You know, I've seen numerous people, rather than jumping into their first home, they say, hey, I can do bigger and I'm going to do an apartment syndication.”- Geoff Dearing   Connect with Geoff Dearing of Utah Real Estate Investors Association:  Website: https://www.utahreia.org/

If you get interviewed on a podcast, or just look at your own experience if you've listened to somebody being interviewed on a podcast, especially if the interviews are 30, 40, 50 minutes long, do you feel like you kind of know the person at the end of that versus 32nd, blurb on whatever? You got a much longer time to hear the person to kind of get to know them much more on a personal connection. It's great production value for content." - Dave Dubeau  "When you get interviewed on somebody else's podcast, that's great content for them and their podcast followers. However, they would love for you to promote their podcast to your followers as well. If you send out your podcast to your followers, you're creating content for them. Plus, it's the double whammy that they see you as the expert because you're interviewed by somebody else." - Dave Dubeau "If you're going to be using podcasting to raise capital, you're not going to go right to the money immediately. Somebody opts-in to your website; you want to make sure that you've got an effective follow-up sequence of emails in place to start that relationship." - Dave Dubeau "If you are really focused on growing your list, and you want to increase the number of prospective investors on your list, then I would suggest you want to take this more seriously. And you make a concerted effort to get booked at least one or two times a month, consistently, month in month out." - Dave Dubeau Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?

You can research all you want; you can educate yourself as much as you want. But without taking action, it's just entertainment." - Keith Makse    "And I also think that it's creativity, and you can look at all the problems that are out there, but to me, problems are just solutions that haven't been found yet.

They'll look at the cash flow, mortgage, and taxes, and then they determine they're going to make $700 a month. But in reality, when you really look at the numbers, maybe it's only $200 a month."- Scott Dillingham  "One quick tip that I have my clients do for better due diligence that's super easy because numbers don't lie, ask the previous owner for his tax return. You can clearly see the expenses that are in that property." - Scott Dillingham  "To make it easier for someone to be refinanced properly, it is best to try to stay with one broker or one lender as you grow. What will happen is, we can recycle documents. It's cumbersome to apply for a mortgage, but if you're with the same person, and they can help you grow, it's easier to update." - Scott Dillingham  Connect with Scott Dillingham:  Website (Mortgages): https://lendcity.ca/  Website (Learning): https://canadianrealestatenetwork.com/  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Van Sturgeon is a real estate investor, homebuilder, renovator, general contractor, and a high-performance coach with over 30 years of experience in the real estate industry.  In this episode, Van shares how he goes about rehab and renovations with the least amount of money but makes a good ROI. He also suggests great sources of good contractors you can depend on.  Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Find out one biggest thing Van advocates that is critical to consider when doing residential renovations Find out which properties you should concentrate on looking for when doing flips to give you the biggest ROI Discover how to make your properties have that curb appeal to give people that powerful sentiment to want to own the property  Resources/Links:  Free Training, Click here: http://www.vansturgeon.com/mentorship  Topics Covered:  01:47 - How he stumbled on the renovation side of things in real estate  03:34 - The biggest thing he advocates when doing residential renovations that have done so well for him in the commercial side of it  05:23 - How to go about rehab and renovation when you're a completely new investor  08:00 - Where to put your dollars when doing rehab on a limited budget  11:25 - One thing he encourages people to do if they seriously consider the rehab and renovation strategy  14:32 - Good sources to find good contractors  Key Takeaways:  "What I think is really critical is the establishment of an actual document. That's called a scope of work that can be given to every contractor. So you have a good comparison of quotes, and then you also hold people accountable because I've had everything itemized within that contract within that actual scope of work." - Van Sturgeon  "If you want to get the best bang for your buck on a limited budget, those are the areas that I would look at, landscaping, so that can involve re-topping of the driveway, painting the garage doors, doing clean up of the hedges, very inexpensive things that all of a sudden dramatically increases the curb appeal." - Van Sturgeon  "I strongly encourage people if you really want to be active in this business, you need to act as your own general contractor and not hire a general contractor. Because being a general contractor myself, in situations where a project is 50,000 to 100,000, my profit margin, something like that, would be somewhere around 30%. And so that stuff is a huge saving." - Van Sturgeon  "By doing a renovation yourself and handling that aspect, it teaches you a new skill set that you can use when you can purchase your second, third, fifth property that you can then evaluate your property, it teaches you how to look at something walking in." - Van Sturgeon  Connect with Van Sturgeon:  Website: http://www.vansturgeon.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vansturgeon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vansturgeon1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDQlgphewMt2Hy4M94pLWog LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/van-sturgeon-029018200  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

There's a saying that time equals money, and we're trained to exchange our time for money. And that's a huge mistake if you want to accomplish the things you want to do in your life. Money is simply a resource; you don't want to just be trapped into the framework of exchanging time for money." - Paul Thompson "Value is subjective, so you want to go out into the marketplace and create value." - Paul Thompson "You don't want more money; you want what money can do for you." - Paul Thompson "Figure out what you want personally, figure out how to be resourceful enough to acquire the assets and the money that you need to do what's important to you.

Inventory is getting completely booked up. So you can charge some pretty hefty rates compared to what you normally would, and you're going to see really, really high occupancy rates even through the winter." -James Svetec  "I always tell people like when you're investing in short term rental, a lot of people's concern is that there's a lot of volatility in the market. And the truth is, it's not unpredictable; it's highly predictable. And you can look at data to figure out exactly how well a property is going to perform. You just need to know what you're doing when you're running those numbers. And then you always want to have backups and contingencies in place." - James Svetec   "It's important to number one, just run the numbers conservatively and know what your worst-case scenario is. But then also just have different backups in place so that you're never left with the property that's not going to be cash-flow positive." - James Svetec  "I think what it really comes down to for a lot of people that are on Airbnb is looking for certain amenities, certain features. And especially right now, people in these urban centers wanted to get out of the city. But sometimes they're actually looking to go to the city to work still and maintain the same standard of living that they were in beforehand." - Riley Oickle   Connect with James Svetec and Riley Oickle:  Jame's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamessvetec/  Riley's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rileyoickleinvestor/  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Willie Mandrell has been a buy & hold real estate investor out of Boston for the past 15 years. His niche is distressed three family buildings which he attempted to purchase at 60 cents on the dollar. From there, he fixes them up, rents them out, refinances shortly after, and repeats the process. He loves it.  In this episode, Willie shares how he turns undervalued and worn-out properties into sources of steady cash flows.  Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Learn how to knockout competition in the market  Find out tips for buying properties not from MLS or directly from sellers Find out how you keep cash flowing from worn-out properties  Resources/Links:  Cash Flow Secrets: Real Estate, Investing & Wealth Management Principles They Failed To Teach by Willie Mandrell: https://www.amazon.com/Cash-Flow-Secrets-Management-Principles/dp/1734960906  Topics Covered:  01:38 - What his investment strategy is  04:24 - Where he finds his property deals  05:28 - Why he does not get properties from MLS or going directly to sellers  07:16 - The turnaround for his rehabbed properties  09:00 - Taking properties as vacant and what he does when there is tenancy involved  11:16 - What the cash flows look like for his properties  14:24 - How much is the rental for a three-bedroom house, and how much revenue do you get  Key Takeaways:  "I do everything I can to make sure the building is delivered vacant. And if we don't have it vacant, what we do is allot cash for keys, and cash for keys is essentially just going back to the tenant and just buying them out." - Willie Mandrell    "I want to knock out a lot of the competition. If I was just looking for cosmetic renovations, paint, and carpet as we call it, then my competition is high because most investors can do that. What I go and look for is stuff that you won't even be able to live in, like a war zone." - Willie Mandrell  "What we're doing instead of chasing the market, trying to buy rent-ready stuff, we go and buy bad windows, bad roofs leaking heating systems or bad electrical needs to be updated." - Willie Mandrell  Connect with Willie Mandrell:  YouTube: http://youtube.com/wmandrell  Instagram: http://instagram.com/wjmandrell  Facebook: http://facebook.com/wmandrell  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Click here: https://www.mogulmastermind.ca/  Topics Covered:  00:58 - Opening a branch office right in the middle of the pandemic  02:01 - The pros of having multifamily properties over single-family homes  04:11 - The journey he took to transition to multifamily  05:34 - Describing the process of getting into multifamily   06:47 - How he prepared in transitioning to multifamily  09:57 - How to 10x your real estate business  10:27 - The number of units he had when he started  11:10 - Don't pressure yourself too much on your first multifamily deal  14:16 - Underwriting from three perspectives  13:03 - The best way to approach a realtor when scaling from single-family to multifamily  16:00 - His way of raising capital and getting into joint venture partnership  Key Takeaways:  "The pros for multifamily that I like is number one, its efficiency in terms of using capital. Once you are established, comfortable, and working on a larger scale, you can get more done with less time. And that's part of the name of the game." - James Knull  "It's a totally different way to add value to the building because, in multifamily, we treat the building as a business. And so, the more viable you make the business, the more valuable that business is." - James Knull  "A big part of the jump [single family home to multifamily] is, even if it might be physically possible for you to take on a building of that size. It still might not be wise from a risk tolerance perspective and an experience perspective because you know what they say in investing; you don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket. Diversifying is a really nice way to go."- James Knull  "That whole process [getting into multifamily] I can describe in 30 seconds, but that was about a year and a half of work. So, for people who are thinking about getting into it, that's not an overnight success." - James Knull  "Don't stress out about swinging for the fences on your first deal, like, do a comfortable deal, be very successful at it, do a great job, ensure your investors are thrilled. Keep your paperwork tight, keep your record keeping solid so that when you go to deal number two, you've got something great that you can show people, and then just every good deal you do is a stepping stone into another great deal." - James Knull  "Lining partners up, planting the seeds, whatever we want to call it. If this is something you're thinking about getting into, then have the conversations early just to separate people into a couple of piles -- don't bug them, people that are maybes, and those that are definitely interested when you've got the deal. Once you have those three piles when a deal actually shows up, you've got something to work with." - James Knull  Connect with James Knull:  Website: https://www.mogulrg.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MogulRG  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mogulrg/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-knull-93864511/ Email: [email protected]  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

They have personally endured the financial burdens that the process puts on families and have committed 50% of their profits to this goal.  In this episode, Whitney shares what syndication is, how to know if you are already doing it, what needs to be done if you want to do it legally, and the important steps to know before starting to do syndication. He also talks about getting investors on board, why you should connect to them on a personal level, and making it all about them.

Well, think about what you are good at, like what energizes you. And I would focus on that and be the best that I could possibly be. And then you find other team members that are really good at those other things. And I've seen people move much faster in this business and much better." - Whitney Sewell  "The way you network is so important.

Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 17 minutes from today's episode:  Find out how to look for properties that are recession-proof and can withstand cyclical downturns Learn how to structure deals through seller financing with non-recourse Discover the six key steps to success in acquiring properties that provide a good return on investment Resources/Links:  Terry Hale Training. Click here: https://terryhaletraining.com/intro.php Topics Covered:  00:54 - What is a commercial real estate 01:48 - Which properties does he focus on 02:19 - What makes multifamily and self-storage recession-proof properties 03:44 - How self-storage become a demand for mom-and-pop stores that shut down at this time 04:28 - Talking about what seller financing is 05:40 - Properties he got through seller financing 07:25 - How he creates value add to properties 08:26 - Why he stayed away from capitalization rate formula and started looking at cost per net rentable square feet, 08:14 - What distressed properties did he buy back in the day he was starting out 10:34 - The six key pillars to success in finding properties that provide a good ROI 11:36 - The one thing he has with brokers that made him the choice whenever they have distressed properties  Key Takeaways:  “When I go to the alternate lender who does non-recourse, it could point to higher interest. But it's great because it's non-recourse. And then it's on the loan to value. I lock it in for this price. I create value by filling vacancies, raising rents and adding profit centers and lowering my expenses. We don't have management on these, we've automated, modernized them. So, there's a fraction of the actual cost for management.”  - Terry Hale “I had to get away from competition, I had to get away from the real estate investment trusts and any wall street money dealing with a huge property. So, I found this little cookie-cutter niche, and then I started looking at ownership. If somebody owned that thing for about 20 years, then at that point in time, they're probably more than likely ready to retire. So, I started focusing on those properties.” - Terry Hale “I reverse engineer my thinking, I started looking instead of buying retail property on a capitalization rate, I started looking at more distressed property that is not bankable.” - Terry Hale Connect with Terry Hale:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/terryhaletraining Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terryhale_wealth.by.design/?hl=en Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

I have property managers." - Ali Boone  "Turnkeys are as hands-off as you can get, not completely hands-off, but it's much more passive." - Ali Boone   "When you learn how to do the due diligence, then you almost don't have to worry about the red flags. But in all fairness, because most of us don't know how to do that good level of due diligence, one of the first things is really just talking to other people and see who they have good experiences with." - Ali Boone  "I started a turnkey Facebook group for this exact reason, so more people can be talking, and turnkey providers aren't allowed in it. Because I want people to openly share what works, and what doesn't." - Ali Boone  "One good tip on due diligence, have someone with more experience tell you the list of things to check on." - Ali Boone  "You can have every how-to guide in the world handed to you, but if your mindset is off, there's no how-to guide in the world that's going to help you." - Ali Boone Connect with Ali Boone:  Website: https://www.hipsterinvestments.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AliBooneInvest/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alibooneinvest/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/alibooneinvest Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

So, I went from three to six properties and did it in a variety of ways.” - Doug Meyers “I'm not perfect at it by any means, but having good communication with your tenants where something's going wrong. You're very civil and how you communicate, you're very fair. And I think that alleviates a lot of the problems that are otherwise caused by being a manager from afar.” - Doug Meyers “For me, it's been about finding people to help do the things that I can't do physically. So, it's finding tenants. Personally, I don't have a problem with the afar management of taking calls and all those kinds of things.” - Doug Meyers “When it comes to doing a move-out inspection, or moving inspection and doing showings, that's where for me, it's about establishing a relationship with somebody who can do those activities paying them to do so, and then they come into my loop.

Pierre-Paul Turgeon is Canada's leading authority and insider when it comes to investing in apartment buildings because of his unique perspective on this type of investment.  He is a former CMHC multifamily underwriter and a full-time multifamily investor with a portfolio of 160 doors valued in excess of $22M. As a former CMHC apartment building underwriter, he has analyzed hundreds of apartment deals in three provinces and three territories.  In this episode, Paul-Pierre talks about how multifamily properties outpace the performance of all other asset classes, as proven time and again. As an authority and former insider at CMHC, he shares CMHC's changing policies that recently hit the real estate industry that can affect you as an investor. He also talks about the three masterclasses he will have this September and October that might interest you.  Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn from today's episode:  Find out one investment portfolio that outperforms any other asset class even during a pandemic Find out one big policy change that's happening now in CMHC, so you know how it affects your real estate business and what you can do about it  Know more about the three masterclasses Pierre is having this September and October -- listening to someone's wisdom coming from the lens of one who is an investor and former industry insider himself  Resources/Links:  Website: https://www.multifamilyinvestingcanada.com/  Topics Covered:  01:29 - Talking about the multifamily investing landscape in Canada right now as of September 2021  02:31 - Which investment portfolio does well during the pandemic  04:22 - Why multifamily properties remain to be a great asset class to invest in  05:40 - Why choose multifamily versus single-family homes for a long-term perspective  07:48 - Pros and cons of multifamily on a good or bad economic situation  09:38 - Seeing an increasing opportunity for multifamily in Canada for quite many, many years to come.   10:42 - The significant rule changes that are happening now in CHMC that you need to be aware of   13:45 - The reasons why those changes are necessary  17:50 - Talking about the three masterclasses Pierre is going to have this September and October that you want to know more about  Key Takeaways:  "In terms of the landscaping, currently today, September 7, 2021, we're still in a pandemic, fourth wave and all of that. I can tell your listeners, in the last year, I saw a repeat of what I saw back in 2008, 2009. That is, apartment buildings outperformed most other asset classes that you can invest in." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  "The big difference [between single-family homes versus multifamily] is when you move to the bigger sandbox of five or more apartment units, or rental units in a building, the value of the asset is derived out of the income of the asset. And you do have a wealth multiplier effect that kicks in, which doesn't kick in when you buy smaller rental properties." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  "I've seen many, many people; regular folks get into the game of multifamily business. It's just the limiting beliefs that prevent people from doing it. So, I want people to understand you do have to have courage and perseverance. I'm not going to say it's easy, but that's the first thing." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  "So the biggest change that came, we've had two, and they're quite earth-shattering. I'll say the first one came; I think it was in July last year. At the onset of the pandemic, about what the uses of equity take out money for when you refinance. This is specifically for CMHC insured loans. It's just restricted to using that equity, taking money for purchasing another property, capital repairs, securing permanent financing if you had a construction loan in place, and certain other uses determined on a case by case basis, the one thing that they don't want you to do now with CMHC takeout funds is to pay equity back to investors." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  "The second thing that came into effect, January 15 of this year. CMHC never required us to get an appraisal on our deals, whether you purchase or refinance. Now, any apartment building between five and 24 units, they do require an appraisal." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  "I don't want to be just some guy, a good-looking guy flapping his jaws in front of people. It's got to be concrete and tangible and usable. That's why those three masterclasses." - Pierre-Paul Turgeon  Connect with Pierre-Paul Turgeon:  Website: https://www.multifamilyinvestingcanada.com/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierre-paul-turgeon-a3a45125/?originalSubdomain=ca Twitter: https://twitter.com/ppturgeon?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turgeonpierrepaul/?hl=en  Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

And that kind of simple complexity built into itself that it can work with landlords of various types.” - Dave Spooner   “What I'll say that I've really picked up on from some of the best landlords that I've had the privilege to work with, and really learn from, and tried to replicate in my own real estate investing is really prioritizing a tenant relationship.” - Dave Spooner   “Fostering that relationship with your tenants is such a critical thing to do. Fortunately, Innago makes that easier. You can communicate through Innago. You can automate a lot of that stuff; you can make sure they have a good relationship and experience with you.

Let’s reconnect with people on a personal level first before we start talking business.” – Dave Dubeau “If you remember back in the day, people used to write Christmas letters, modern version of this, you don’t have to wait till Christmas, but basically catch people up on what you’ve been doing personally, for the last three, four or five years. Just assuming that people haven’t heard a heck of a lot from you. And at the end of it, you have a call to action.” – Dave Dubeau “When people do reach out to you, answer them. If they answer you, have a genuine reconnection because there is money in those connections.” – Dave Dubeau “The last of those three steps is that transition message where we’re going to let them know that, moving ahead, we’re going to do a better job staying in touch, and we’re going to start letting them know about our real estate deal.” – Dave Dubeau “When you’re doing monthly blog posts, at least what we recommend is to have all of your marketing on your investor site and send people short little emails, creating curiosity and sending them to your site.” – Dave Dubeau Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dave-Dubeau-102037658010531 LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?

Cody Yeh is a first-generation immigrant from Taiwan who came to Canada at the age of 18, went to university as an engineer, got a white-collar job but apparently, it wasn’t good enough. Cody is now a Stock & Options Coach, YouTube influencer, a real estate investor, and, more importantly, building an empire to help out more people like yourselves to reach Financial Independence sooner. In this episode, Cody Yeh shares how you can enjoy both worlds and earn cash flows and a good amount of revenue from both real estate business and stocks investment. He talks about the mindset you use in real estate that you can carry over to stocks investment so you can win long-term.

You better make sure you do your own homework, don’t trust everyone. It’s very tough unless you put in some money to add value to the property that may have a chance to turn into a legal duplex, legal duplex to a triplex or something that adds value or buy a really rundown house; if you don’t do that, it’s hard to find that cash flow. And that’s where the stock and option come in. On top of your full-time job or your full-time business running, you can use stock options to generate the cash flow to fund, to buy more real estate.” – Cody Yeh “Active business, stock option, real estate investing — to me, that’s the full circle of it.” – Cody Yeh “In the stocks and options, you do the same thing. You do fundamental analysis; you generate cash flow. But, the underlying stocks of that company, as stocks, you believe will thrive in 10, 20 years; that’s the same thing in real estate. The reason why I invest in GTA is because I believe it will thrive in 10 to 20 years.” – Cody Yeh “Don’t overstretch yourself. A lot of developers went bankrupt. Why? Because they stretch themselves too thin, they’re highly leveraged; they get too greedy. They want to get too many lands and wait for it, but if there’s a market downturn, they don’t have cash flow coming in, they’re forced to sell at the worst price. And this could happen in stocks, as well.” – Cody Yeh “We want to hold the stock long term; you need to have the right mentality to do that to win long term.” – Cody Yeh Connect with Cody Yeh: Stock and Options Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/StockInvestingCanadaUs YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/CodyYeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cody__yeh/ More Cody Yeh’s interviews: https://www.codyyeh.com/interviews Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

If you’ve tried doing this, if you’ve tried cold calling and dialing for dollars, and it didn’t work for you, it’s going to scare you off trying other things.” – Dave Dubeau “And I started using marketing to sell my marketing. Because I was selling doorknob ads or selling advertising, what I did was I created business builder workshops in the local areas where I was selling the advertising with 75 to 100 people. And then, I would do a 45-minute presentation on how to create an effective app. I entice people out because I’ve shown them how to build their business, which is what they’re interested in, that’s in their own best interest. At the end of that presentation, I made them an offer about my doorknob ads. Instead of me chasing after people trying to convince them to buy my advertising, I actually got a lineup of people eagerly coming after me with their credit cards in hand to buy my advertising.” – Dave Dubeau “My clients and people that I’ve worked with have raised hundreds of millions of dollars literally, again, by applying marketing, educational marketing in attracting investors, and raising capital. It’s just so much more pleasant than chasing after.” – Dave Dubeau Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?

Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you’ll learn in just 17 minutes from today’s episode: Learn what mistakes to avoid when raising capital so you won’t run the risk of going to jail Find out how to raise capital even when you don’t have a social media presence Find out the four-step process to getting people to invest in your deals Resources/Links: Website: https://bakerson.com/ Topics Covered: 01:27 – How he got started in real estate 05:11 – What got him into syndication and how his podcast show started 08:52 – Sharing amazing experiences in Mexico during his hiatus from the real estate world 11:39 – What people are doing wrong when raising capital 17:48 – The know-like-trust factor four-step process of getting people to invest in your deals Key Takeaways: “There’s plenty of people that raise capital without any social media presence. And they do this by just connecting with the right people.” – Ruben Greth “My biggest advice and what I define capital raising is, besides nurturing of the investors and keeping them fresh, I think, really, what capital raising boils down to is the same thing that creates success in any business, which is just meeting people.” – Ruben Greth “But the bottom line is, you can never like or trust anybody if you don’t know them. I think a lot of people get stuck on how do I convert two out of 10 people into my investment versus one out of 10? And really, what they should be asking is how do I get in front of 10,000 people. That’s the idea, network.” – Ruben Greth “How do people know you? Well, you have to do a massive amount of networking, and preferably, I think the path of least resistance is to start a podcast much like yourself, so I commend you for doing that. Because you start producing content and then people start to see you and then they can start to know you.” – Ruben Greth Connect with Ruben Greth: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubengreth/ Website: https://bakerson.com/ Podcast: https://capitalraisershow.libsyn.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

You can register here: https://investorattractionworkshop.com/  Topics Covered: 00:45 – What happens if you have the lone ranger syndrome 03:00 – The real magic to a good deal 04:27 – The whole idea of working with investor partners and using other people’s money Key Takeaways: “If you’re stuck in that, me, me, me or mine or the Lone Ranger syndrome, then it’s going to take you decades and decades to save up the money that you need to go buy your own deals. It’s virtually impossible to create a significant portfolio that way.” – Dave Dubeau “I realize that short term in and out deals are good for a quick little pop of cash, but you’re really leaving almost all of the profits on the table; the real magic to real estate in my mind is holding on to it long term.” – Dave Dubeau “A lot of really good deals require capital; you’re not going to get over financing on all the best deals. You’re going to have to actually come up with some cash and do deals with a down payment and traditional financing. And if you can’t do it, then you need to be able to do that with investor partners so that you can grow your portfolio and take things where you want to take them with your real estate investing.” – Dave Dubeau “If you’ve got investor partners lined up, you can do as many deals as you want to and grow your portfolio as quickly and as big as you’d like to as well. And you’re going to be able to create the cash flow, the network, the lifestyle that you want, while big bonuses helping somebody else to do the same thing.” – Dave Dubeau “Once you get to wrap your head around the fact that like good old Zig Ziglar said, you can have everything in life you want to if you just help enough other people get what they want in return. Right, and those other people we’re talking about are our investor partners.” – Dave Dubeau Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Property Profits Podcast  www.davedubeau.com  www.investorattractionworkshop.com  Facebook  LinkedIn  Do you like the show?

If you’re a business owner, I mean, definitely look within your business and see if you can make that more profitable, because that’s one of the few places that people get stuck in the rat race, too.” – Chris Miles “Definitely business franchises is another way if you don’t have a business, you could buy a franchise where maybe you can get some of the tax benefits off of that; where you can get some of those write-offs, especially if you’re an employee.” – Chris Miles “I’ve got a friend; he’s the land geek. He talks about flipping land. That’s another great thing you could do where there’s high ROI.” – Chris Miles “I help people meet, create a game plan, and I connect them. So, like, my guy wants to do oil. It’s great. I know a company that does it. I’m not recommending it; I don’t ever tell people you should buy this or invest in this. I stay away from that line. But I do say, based on your objectives, or your timelines and stuff, because even in real estate, there are so many variances you can do you have to figure out which one actually fits what you’re trying to accomplish.” – Chris Miles Connect with Chris Miles: Website: http://www.moneyripples.com/ Podcast: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/moneyripples Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneyripples LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriscmiles/ Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Are you often faced with the dilemma of how to ask for testimonials, both written and video form? Most of us find it awkward to ask for them.

Well, then, I have a good idea of how you can rake in more business for you through testimonials without so much bothering them as getting them excited and happy to give kind words instead. Join me in this Free Flow Friday on the Property Profits Podcast, and together let’s dig down on the effective ways of getting the best testimonials.

So, you’ve got the video, let’s say up on your website. And then to the side of it, you’ve got the written version of the testimonial, so that way when people are listening to it, they’re reading at the same time. It’s just a double whammy. “– Dave Dubeau “We’re not going to bribe anybody to give us a video testimonial or a testimonial. It’s got to come from the heart. – Dave Dubeau Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau Do you like the show?
