Today’s guest has worked quickly to build a portfolio of single-family rentals. She works a full-time job as a nurse, and bought 21 homes in less than a year. But she isn’t just motivated by the thought of a secure future for herself. She is specializing in Section 8 homes that house single moms and their kids to be sure they have safe and affordable housing. She is also a former Dale Carnegie instructor, a group leader for InvestHER of South Florida, a member of Real Wealth Network and Bigger Pockets, and is mom to two millennial entrepreneurs. I’m delighted to have Rita Medeiros on our show today to tell us more about what she’s doing with real estate and how that’s helping her and those around her. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Today’s guest ditched his 9-to-5 job 15 years ago, to became a full-time real estate investor. Augustino Pintus says the standard 40-hour-a-week job gave him a false sense of security about long-term wealth, and by giving that up, he’s been able to take control of his time, and his finances.  His motto: “Decide, Commit, Succeed.” He is currently in charge of strategic partnerships, capital development, and deal sourcing for multifamily investment firm Realty Dynamic Equity Parties.    www.RealWealthShow.com  

What better way to kick off the new year than with our annual “Focused Investor” workshop with Rich Fettke, Co-CEO of Real Wealth Network taking place via this Thursday's Webinar (January 9th) and our upcoming live event in San Mateo on January 11th, and Los Angeles on January 12th. This topic has been a crowd pleaser for 14 consecutive years, and is sure to “WOW” anyone looking to have a focused, productive, successful year. You’ll leave with a solid plan for the year and a vision for the next 10 years. Rich Fettke and Kathy Fettke share a sneak peek and some key take-aways of what he will be presenting later this week in this podcast episode. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Today’s guest is a successful dance coach, choreographer and competitor and he's also managed to build a rental portfolio of 11 properties nationwide. Let's find out how he did it. Kurt Senser is a long-time member of the Real Wealth Network. He joined in 2008 so I've personally known him for over a decade now! Kurt had already started building his real estate portfolio before we met, starting in 2004. And since he saved pennies for every down payment, he spent a lot of time researching before plopping any money down. His five-year goal is to have a total of 20 residential properties. I am delighted to have Kurt Senser on today’s show to share his real estate investing story. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Call it dumb luck or brilliant market timing. Our guest today bailed out of the stock market right before the Great Recession, and gravitated toward real estate in 2009 with a pile of cash. Since then, he’s invested in single-family, multi-family, and vacation rentals. He has also invested in fix-and-flips, and more than 25 syndicated deals. He is currently part of the Investor Relations Team at Ashcroft Capital and has made it his mission to share what he’s learned with others. One of his favorite topics is how to create more time in your life or what he calls “time freedom.” I am delighted to welcome Travis Watts to the Real Wealth Show.   www.RealWealthShow.com  

If you're a podcast fan, then you've probably heard of today's guest. Rod Khleif has personally owned and managed over 2000 properties and has built over 23 businesses in a 40 year business career. And while that is all quite impressive, he came from very humble beginnings as an impoverished, young Dutch immigrant, and created incredible success in what he calls a rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story, He has built several successful multi-million dollar businesses. But ask him what he is most proud of, and he will tell you about his work as a community philanthropist. Giving back to the community is a major passion for Rod. He is founder and long-serving president of the Tiny Hands Foundation which helps children from low income families. And today, he's back with us on the Real Wealth Show. www.RealWealthShow.com  

This Family is On a Mission! We talk a lot about building wealth through real estate here on the Real Wealth Show. But there are lots of ways of defining wealth.  We define Real Wealth at Real Wealth Network as having both the time and the money to live life the way you want to, with the people you want to be with. Our guests today have their own definition of wealth.  Suzanne and Joel want to become financially free so that they can do what they loved to do the most -- to support a mission they love and to add value to the lives of others.  Their goal is to have 10 properties by 2023, and they are well on their way.   If you DESIRE to have income producing real estate, do your due diligence with FAITH, and take ACTION.   www.RealWealthShow.com  

Real Estate Investing: Five Benefits of Owning Rental Homes Our guest today is a former athlete and family man who built a career on the corporate side of the solar industry. Along the way, he saw the value of owning rental property, and now owns 16 single-family rentals in seven states. Nate O'Neil is a true believer in the financial power of long-term rentals and is here to tell his story on the Real Wealth Show. Show Notes: There are five really great benefits to holding financed properties over time: 1) Cash flow 2) Appreciation 3) Tax Shelter: $300 of monthly rental cash flow is like $460 of W2 income because W2 income is heavily taxed. This is significant over time, and with a number of properties. You can also depreciate the home over 27.5 years, which offsets taxable gains. 4) Mortgage Pay Down:   A rental home owner's net worth is credited every single month by the amount of principle their loan is paid. I look at is how much principle was paid down by the rent and how much my net worth increased fro

Some people are afraid to buy their first investment property. While others dive in. I was one of those people who dove head first, but only after I'd read a bunch of books, attended dozens of seminars and spoken with many others who had done it already. So I guess you could say I dove in cautiously and aware. I would say that's the case for today's guest. Mark is a business owner, so he already knows how to hire people to get things done that you don't know how to do or don't want to do. He also knows how to do the research necessarily to feel comfortable diving in. He's here with us today to share how he's building a real estate portfolio, one property at a time in just a year. www.RealWealthShow.com  

I was honored to be the keynote speaker at five different conferences this month, all over the country -- from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Denver and Philadelphia, and I just got back from New York. And, what I noticed at all of these events and previous ones during the past few years, is that I've seen a lot more Millennials attending real estate events. It's been incredible to see how quickly some of these young people can build a business. For some, it seems like their energy and tech savvy creates companies overnight. And while these brilliant people know technology better than perhaps other generations, what they don't have necessarily is life experience. What would happen if you could merge wisdom with fresh ideas? Our guest today is Chip Conley, the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality which he began in 1987 at age 26. In 2010, after having created and managed 50 boutique hotels that are mostly in California, he sold his company. A few years later, he was asked by the three co-founders of Airbnb i

I've had a lot of people ask me if they should use their savings to buy a primary residence or a rental property. As usual, the answer is "it depends." And in this case, maybe the answer is "do both!" At a recent event, a young couple came up to me and told me they had saved $200,000 to buy a home. First of all, I was so impressed! Few people save money today. Then I asked if they had started house shopping yet and if they could afford a home they'd want to live in for a long time. They told me it wouldn't be their dream home. It would just be a condo. Here was my response: If you want to live in a home for a long time for something like raising a family, buying can make a lot of sense if you find a nice community with good schools. The mortgage payments may be a little more than what you'd pay for rent, but when you include the tax benefits, that home loan can be cheaper than rent. Plus, if you have a fixed-rate loan, you don't have to worry about your rent going up. It will remain the same for the life of t

OPM is the key to building wealth quickly. Understanding how to "use other people's money" will help you acquire more than you could just using you own cash.  But you have to do it right. Unfortunately, lots of people are trying to take investor money when they don't really have the experience to do so. My guest today has been putting on events to help people raise money properly. In fact, I'll be speaking at his Raising Money Summit in Denver this weekend. www.RealWealthShow.com For tickets to the Raising Money Summit in Denver this weekend go to: https://www.westword.com/event/raising-money-summit-2019-general-admission-11339043  

Many tech experts are predicting big changes with the new 5G cellular signal.

August has been a volatile month for the global economy and for stock investors. Nearly every news channel is screaming that a recession is around the corner, and some European investors are accepting negative returns for bonds. Should real estate investors be panicking? Should we be mining for gold? Today's guest has been predicting a financial reckoning for some time now. He has been recently associated as the voice of doom and gloom, but I think he's really pointing out the inevitable — that people can't go into debt forever and expect a positive outcome. www.RealWealthShow.com  

I'm not a very good golfer, and I'm even worse at Topgolf because there's an audience and alcohol involved. But I am excited to introduce today's guest, who came up with the wild idea of turning a  high rise bar into a driving range. It's the epitome of cool, and has been quite a success. This interview was done live at Singularity University's Global Summit in San Francisco last month. You may have heard about Singularity through it's famous founders, Peter Diamandis and Ray Kurzweil. SU is located in the Silicon Valley and it's not only a business incubator, it's a global community that uses cutting edge "exponential" technologies to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. I am happy to have as our guest today the Executive Chairman of Singularity University. Erik Anderson. Erik is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WestRiver Group (WRG) since 2002. WRG is a collaboration of leading investment firms providing integrated capital solutions to the global innovation economy.  Anderson is also the Executi

Today we're going to talk about how one of our Real Wealth Network employees is living the dream of "real wealth" on a budget. 10 years ago we put out an ad on Craigslist for a receptionist. It was 2009, smack dab in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis. Not too many real estate companies were hiring at that time, but Real Wealth Network was booming. The unemployment rate was massive, so we had thousands of applicants for the receptionist position. I was so overwhelmed I just asked people to show up at our next event to meet in person. Only 3 people showed up and Maggie Pike was one of them. She has been with us ever since in many roles, from receptionist, to event planner, to my assistant, to Director of our Real Wealth Academy, and now as our Director of Syndications. And, as of Saturday, she is now Mrs. McKinnie. Maggie and her new husband Marc are building a real estate portfolio while living their dream of traveling the world. They are such an inspiration, I decided to interview them for this week's

Buying your first rental property may seem like a monumental task. You have to work outside your comfort zone, to try something new and learn as you go. It's even more difficult if your first properties are out-of-state. So what does it take to pull the trigger on a plan to buy rentals many miles from where you live? How do you manage your properties if you don't live nearby? How do you protect yourself from bad tenants? How do you deal with local issues like storms and flooding? What kind of insurance and back-up reserves should you have for unexpected events? Our guest today is based in California. He took took the leap and has become a long-distance landlord with properties in four different markets. He's here to share his story and some of the things that he's learned. It's a great way to help potential investors make that first move, so let's find out how it's going for Alek Mukherji and his portfolio of single-family rentals. www.RealWealthShow.com  

What were you doing during the 2008 financial meltdown? Perhaps you weren't invested in real estate so you weren't affected. Or maybe you got started buying real estate right after the crash and took advantage of record low home prices due to all the foreclosures. Or maybe you got hit hard like millions of Americans, handing the keys to your property back to the bank. Either way, it's important that we don't forget what happened just 10 years ago. Just like me, today's guest was in mortgage lending during the financial crisis. She had helped her family invest in homes in her own name and when they couldn’t pay during the crisis she was hit really hard, and just like me, she learned some tough lessons. But after the crisis she became a realtor because she knew how to do short sales and she became very successful at that. During this time she was helping her relatives Craig and Arlene Turner invest in a duplex in Stockton, and they told her to listen to the Real Wealth Show. Now, she’s been investing her realto

There's been a lot of headline news about Detroit, specifically that you can buy a home there for $1,000. The Detroit Land Bank Authority is trying to put run-down and vacant properties to productive use. As such, it is now auctioning off thousands of publicly owned properties through its public platform Auction— and the bidding starts at $1,000.  To put that price into context, as of June 2019, the median home price in the Detroit metro area is $163,100. And as of April 2019, the city's median household income is $30,344. So is this a good idea?  I thought it would be a good idea to bring in our Detroit full service property provider /property manager to tell us what's going on.   www.RealWealthShow.com
