In this episode of the Real Wealth show, we'll peek behind the curtain to see the reality of buy and hold investing. Our guest will talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of being a landlord, and how patience and perseverance can really pay off. Brent Palmer lives with his wife in the San Francisco Bay Area. His investing story begins with a full-time job as an engineer, two side jobs, and a desire to get off the work treadmill. After listening to the Real Wealth Show, joining as a member, and attending live events, he pulled the trigger and bought three properties in Kansas City. Those first investments came with challenges however, but he stuck with it, bought more single-family rentals in a different market, and has been able to quit those two side jobs.

The key to buying real estate may no longer be “location, location, location.” According to one long-time real estate investor, it’s now “property management, property management, property management.” That’s just one piece of sage advice you’ll get from this interview with Myron Schroer. He’s had a real estate license since the 1970’s, has purchased real estate in several parts of the country, and is teaching his kids and grandkids about the business with a family corporation. You’ll find out how he and his wife got started, how they got the whole family involved, how they choose their markets, and where they have invested.

If you put in the time and the effort, you can build wealth through real estate. But there are always surprises along the way, even for experienced investors. In this episode, we hear from a California couple who got started decades ago with rental properties in the San Francisco Bay Area, independently of each other. After they were married fourteen years ago, they continued to invest together, but over the last six months, they’ve almost completely reworked their portfolio. It’s all thanks to a few revelations, and challenges, during the pandemic that inspired them to buy properties in other states. You’ll hear their story, along with some great advice about the 1031 exchange, the benefits of an “escalation clause” when you are competing against other buyers, and what inspired them to invest in real estate in the first place. You can learn more about doing this for yourself by joining RealWealth. You’ll find plenty of free educational material on our website. Our investment counselors can also refer you to

Sometimes we are too busy to realize that we are too busy! It’s all too often that we look back and wonder what took us so long to do the things we really want to do. Having a serious health issue isn’t the wake-up call we want to get, but for some people, it’s been the catalyst needed to make a big change. In this episode, you’ll hear from a couple who experienced this kind of life-changing moment. Ryan Dixon had a near-death experience, so he and his wife, Christina, decided their lives had to change. Life is too precious, and you never know how long it will last. They started researching ways to create passive income so they could take a year off to go sailing and travel through Europe with their two boys. In a matter of months, they had a cash flowing real estate portfolio, and an entirely different kind of lifestyle -- and, they share their story in this interview.

You may recall that, back in 2012, Warren Buffet said on a CNBC interview that he would buy a few hundred thousand homes if he could figure out how to manage them. Well, some companies did figure out how to do that, and 9 years later, they are transforming what has been an exclusive mom and pop industry for centuries. It’s an honor to have Dallas Tanner on the Real Wealth show today. He is President and CEO of Invitation Homes and is also a member of the company’s board of directors.

Leah Collich started building her portfolio in 2010 when it was a very different market. Demand was low, supply was high, and prices were cheap. In 2017, she became a RealWealth member and expanded her portfolio into five new markets while living overseas. She now owns over a dozen properties in Texas, Florida, Ohio and Alabama. When we invited her to share her experience on an investor panel, we were so impressed that we offered her a job. And she shares some of her inside knowledge in this interview.

Sometimes the real estate industry grabs you quickly, and sometimes it grabs you over time. For one California woman, it began with a job in the mortgage industry and slowly grew into much more than that. Joanne Mendoza was a mortgage lender in the 90’s and 2000’s. At some point she began working more with both buyers and lenders and started putting the real estate pieces together. She’s now a real estate broker helping people find properties, and is also building an out-of-state portfolio of rental properties for herself. In this episode, she talks about the ups and downs of her real estate journey, how she’s funding her deals, where she’s investing, and how it is giving her financial freedom. Joanne has also published a new book called: “The Power of Real Estate Investing for Women: A Step-by-Step Guide to Investing, Buying, and Selling Real Estate.” You’ll find it on Amazon.

The printing of trillions of dollars seems to be the new normal. But is it? And does it have to be paid back, and if so, how and by whom? And if it can't be repaid, then what?

Many investors work their way up from single-family rentals to larger multi-families, but in today’s episode, you’ll hear from someone who’s taking the opposite approach. Richard Woolley launched his personal investing career with the purchase of two triplexes but decided that single-family homes were the way to go. Richard has a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management and has worked as VP of Preconstruction for a New York multi-family developer.

Building a portfolio of rental properties can be your ticket to financial freedom. But it also exposes you to risks and the need for asset protection. One way to do this is by transferring your investment properties into an LLC, or another kind of legal entity, like a land trust. That topic inspires many questions among new investors including where they should set up their LLCs. In this episode, we hear from tax and asset protection attorney, Clint Coons, who will answer that question and many more with easy to understand explanations. Among the topics he’ll cover are the where, the why, and the how you might want to set up your LLC along with the difference between LLCs and other entities. You can schedule a free session with someone at Clint's firm or watch the replay of a recent webinar by Clint on our website.

One of the best things about investing in real estate is the use of “other people’s money” or OPM. You can use OPM to pay for your deal while you get all the cash flow, appreciation and tax benefits. What do we need to know about the lending environment today? In this episode, we’ll hear from private real estate lender Brian Stark. Brian has more than 20 years experience as a lender and is currently VP of Originations at real estate lender Icecap Group in New York City. He has actively invested in single-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate. He’s bought and sold hundreds of properties, wholesaled many more, and originated more than 1,400 real estate loans totalling well over $150 million. www.RealWealthShow.com Click here to join the network for free Transcript: [00:00:00] [music] Presenter: You're listening to The Real Wealth Show with Kathy Fettke, the real estate investors resource.

This past year, we learned a lot about which states are more business-friendly than others. Some had mandatory shut downs, like California. The rules were particularly strict in Los Angeles where the city would turn the water and electricity off at businesses that defied the shut down order. On the other side of the country in Florida, the economy and businesses have been mostly open for the entire year. It was certainly a risk for Florida, but the state gave people the opportunity to make choices for themselves. And now we can see the results of that decision. CDC statistics show that the Covid-19 case rates and death rates since the beginning of the pandemic are nearly identical in both states. As an aside, Florida’s death rate is 40% lower than in the State of New York, along with dozens of other states. But even though Florida and California had nearly identical public health outcomes, their diverging strategies have had an enormous economic impact. You'll hear more about that in this episode along with a
