Passive Real Estate Investing (Real Estate Investing with Marco Santarelli, Investor and Entrepreneur.)

Go to school, study hard, get a good job. That’s the linear path that a lot of people start on. After getting an engineering degree, Lane Kawaoka started working in the day job as a construction supervisor and bought a house pretty quickly. But he was never home because he was traveling all the time for work, so he started renting his home out. Realizing how much passive cash flow he was able to pull from that got him started into real estate investing as a working professional. He currently has a portfolio of eleven single-family homes in places like Seattle, Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania. He's also a partner in a syndication that controls currently over 1,300 apartment and RV units. Lane has made it a mission to help people get off the corrupt Wall Street roller coaster and focus on main street investments with safer, higher returns that benefit the American middle class.

And today's question comes from Jason. He says, dear Marco, we are looking to take out a HELOC, a Home Equity Line of Crediton our primary residence for the purpose of buying our next home. Since I am a licensed residential contractor, I would like to find a new construction opportunity or a fixer upper fixer property. My question for you is two parts. First, would we be able to get better loan terms as a construction loan / line of credit, through my business or would it be more favorable to finance this as a personal loan? Secondly, there are a lot of HELOC Home Equity Line of Credit products out there. What terms should we be looking for in a favorable agreement and are there terms we should try avoid?

All of our clients at Norada Real Estate, we insist that they order a professional home inspection as part of their due diligence after they put a property under contract.

There are still some amount of education that goes around this topic of home inspections. I wanted to bring on a professional, someone who really knows not only the industry, but the nuts and bolts of doing the actual inspections. My guest today is a gentleman named Tim Tucker.

Real estate becomes an asset when it brings you cash flow. As a real estate investor, you'll be putting other people's money to work for you. When we talk about loopholes of real estate, we're talking about the financial tax and legal advantages of investing in real estate as a passive income earner. It has been successfully utilized by many investors to protect and maximize their real estate investments. Loopholes provide for the defense of your valuable real estate. From a tax perspective, there are real estate loopholes to be opened. Smart investors know how to open those loopholes to their maximum advantage. From the legal side, there are real estate loopholes that need to be closed. When you learn when to open and when to close loopholes, you become a successful and even a sophisticated real estate investor. Bestselling author and Rich Dad advisor Garrett Sutton discusses the loopholes of real estate investing. Garrett has been practicing corporate law for more than 35 years, assisting real estate investors and entrepreneurs in protecting their assets and maximizing their financial goals.

Robert Kiyosaki once said, “Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and especially in investing.” On this show, we talk a lot about passive income and passive investments and how to create wealth through those vehicles, especially real estate. What about partnerships or syndications? Today, I want to explore the world of investment partnerships, they’re also known as syndications, and how you can potentially participate and profit from them as well. What is a syndication? In its simplest form, a syndication is just a pooling of investor money where the investor is typically a passive limited partner. The other partner to the deal is really a general partner or an active partner. That’s the person that puts the deal together. They manage the business plan. They provide the return and the benefits to all investors. You’ll hear general partner or GP often. They’re also referred to as the syndicate or the sponsor. These terms are used interchangeably. At the end of the day, a syndication is nothing but a group investment. It’s a pooling of investment capital to put into an investment opportunity that is managed by a syndicator. We have an amazing guest on today’s show, someone who I’m getting know quite well. In fact I’m meeting him for lunch here in a couple of weeks. We had a great opportunity to get to know each other recently. His name is Mauricio Rauld.

Today's question comes in from Janice and she says, hi Marco. Thank you for taking the time to educate. My question is specifically about age. At the time of investing, I listened to episodes 224 and 225 which had to do with using your principal's home equity to invest, which is what I'm interested in. You briefly mentioned age in one of the episodes but didn't go into detail. Hypothetically, I want to invest equity from my primary residence and rental properties. What recommendations would you give a 30 year old versus a 50 year old if each had $200,000 to invest? I was initially interested in flipping because of the faster turnaround, but have recently come to understand the long term value of buy and hold properties, but maybe that applies more to the younger generation.

Today’s show is about wealth, Wall Street and real assets. I’ve brought Dr. Buck Joffrey on to the show to talk about this. Buck knows the old mantra of, “Investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds,” is simply outdated and dangerous, especially, for high paid professionals given the instability and the volatility in the markets today. He advocates entrepreneurship and investing, especially in hard assets and those that provide cashflow because that’s really the reliable way and the approach to building solid personal finance. I’m in line with his thinking and what he advocates. I want to get him on the show to talk about his perspective on these things. It was an interesting conversation, so I think you’ll thoroughly enjoy it. If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to The Real Estate Investor Ladder of Success – Trevor McGregor.

You can imagine it as an hierarchical structure or similar to what you might find in an organizational chart with a company. Aaron explains that it is an evolution where you start out working with real estate investors who spend money by investing in real estate, who then evolve to a position as a business owner in possession of several properties, to being a chief operations officer and having within their organization people that are going to work with new investors to market the properties and find more. He shares that understanding each level of this evolutionary structure will help make the team become more efficient in doing their particular tasks and also enable them to work in harmony with the other levels. — I wanted to do something a little different. I’m bringing on a good friend and one of our preferred mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers and mortgage lenders, Aaron Chapman. Aaron was on years ago, and we talked about non-owner occupied real estate investing and getting loans in the mortgage environment. If you haven’t seen it, go back and read that episode because there’s a lot of foundational information about mortgage lending there. He has this very interesting concept that he refers to as the evolution of the real estate investor. He explained this a couple of times and I found it very interesting because it’s representing a hierarchical structure of what you might find in an org chart with a company, you, being the CEO of that company. Aaron is a 20-year veteran in the finance industry and he focuses specifically and only on real estate investors. He does investment loans and he has a great team of a total of ten staff members that help him do these loans. He’s been married for 22 years and has four kids. He’s a very active guy and a lot of fun and he does a lot of stuff outside the investment and loan industry. He helps out with his local sheriff’s department in the rescue unit. He has been doing this for nine years as a technical off-road and helicopter rappel rescue technician.

How do you profit from the profound demographic shift that's coming ahead? If you want to predict the future with accuracy, only one crystal ball will do and that's people by the numbers. By looking at demographics, we can predict the future from commercial to social to political to cultural trends. Counting people reveals what the trend will be over the next several years. That's because it's based on what people are doing from fertility to the location, meaning where they live and to aging. For instance, women are on the rise in the workforce nowadays, shattering glass ceilings. Meanwhile, Gen Y or the Millennials, the largest generation in history, are going to be moving into their own home soon. These are two of the key changes that will be determining the fortunes and futures of many people and what is going to happen over the next several years. Do you want to get ahead in your field or in real estate? Pay attention to the trends we're about to discuss with my guest, internationally respected demographer Ken Gronbach.

When you understand what inflation is, and how it benefits you as a real estate investor, you will want to build your real estate portfolio to take advantage of these powerful wealth building concepts.

I just came back from a real estate forum in Florida where I was speaking on a panel answering questions about real estate and turnkey operators in the industry. As it turns out, I was asked a very important question about building your reputation in an industry with shady operators. Unfortunately, they only gave me two minutes to answer a question that required at lease 15 minutes. So, I felt the question was important enough to cover as a podcast episode. Especially in our industry where there truly are shady operators. And if you missed last week’s episode, be sure to listen to Common Investor Questions (Part 1).

What if you could convert a portion of your home equity into immediate cash that you can use for any purpose, and what if there were no monthly payment requirements on that immediate cash? Jim Benavidez invests alongside with you in your home. It’s what’s called a home ownership investment, and because it's an investment and not a loan, there are no monthly payments at any given time on the money they provide you. In fact, there are no payments at all until you sell or refinance the home, and that can be up to 30 years later.

How would you like to pay little to no taxes because you're an owner of real estate? Since 1997, the increasing number of property owners have cut their current income taxes by using something called cost segregation. Alan Goldstein, founder of Emunah Cost Segregation, explains that with cost segregation, an owner of real estate can accelerate their depreciation and thereby reduce their federal income taxes for years. Alan is an IRS-enrolled agent, a Florida real estate broker and mortgage broker, and an expert in depreciation. He says basing on a fundamental principle that a dollar now is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, this same logic can be applied to tax deductions because a tax deduction now is worth more than a tax deduction tomorrow.

Thousands of people, despite all their best efforts to succeed, grow, and thrive, end up failing financially. Our subconscious beliefs often work against us, setting up hidden obstacles in the way of achieving what we consciously think we want and blocking the path to our highest potential. It’s those money and wealth limiting beliefs that hurt us the most. These negative beliefs are the money phrases that we have all heard before and that many of us say consciously or even subconsciously all the time. You need to be careful because of these seemingly harmless phrases about money can interfere with the wealth building process, exactly what you're trying to work towards. Buck Joffrey, an accomplished surgeon, entrepreneur, asset manager, and bestselling author of 7 Secrets of Eternal Wealth, shares the most common limiting beliefs and created a roadmap in his course to help people towards their journey of investing on their own and ultimately financial independence. Learn more about Your Roadmap to Real Wealth. Download your FREE copy of:  The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing. --- After working with thousands of investors over the past fourteen years when I'm creating more income, wealth, and freedom, I've seen firsthand that it is our subconscious beliefs that often work against us, setting up hidden obstacles in the way of achieving what we consciously think we want and blocking the path to our highest potential. Thousands of people, despite all their best efforts to succeed and grow and thrive, end up failing financially, feeling hopeless and clueless about what they do differently to bring about a better income. It's the negative beliefs that are the subconscious beliefs that hurt us the most. These negative beliefs are the money phrases that we have all heard before and that many of us say consciously or even subconsciously all the time. You need to be careful. Some of these seemingly harmless phrases about money can interfere with the wealth building process, exactly what you're trying to work towards. Here're some of the most popular phrases about money that you hear other people say, maybe you say these yourself. The first one is “It takes money to make money.” This phrase is limiting at best and destructive at worst. How about this one? “Money doesn't grow on trees.” This belief sets people up to believe that money is scarce and difficult to earn instead of seeing money as being abundant, which it is. Here's another one, “Another day, another dollar.” How often have you heard that one? “The masses trade time for money.” This creates the belief that making money is a linear process directly connected to time. How about, “Money is the root of all evil?” The real thing is the love of money is the root of all evil, but it has been misquoted so often for centuries that most people believe money itself is the root of all evil. It is not. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” There's a classic. This is a very dangerous belief as it puts a major emphasis on saving, and saving in itself is not bad, but the masses are so focused on clipping coupons and living frugally that they missed the major opportunities around them. “Money can't buy you happiness.” I've heard family members say this in the past. You don't get rich to get happier. You get rich for the financial freedom and time freedom that it brings you. If you're unhappy without money, guess what? You're not going to be happy when you have lots of it. Selfishness is a virtue. The masses are programmed from an early age to put the needs of others before their own. That sounds like a spiritual thing, a spirit-driven philosophy, it's the worst advice you can get when it comes to money because once you acquire wealth, then you can volunteer your time and give back to charity. It's all about being, doing, having, and then giving. What about more money and more problems? Another myth. Another myth among the masses is the idea that millionaires are workaholics, overloaded with so many problems that they don't have time to enjoy life. This is another excuse the middle class uses to justify being broke. When it comes to money, the best advice is to always look at it from a consciousness of freedom, possibility, opportunity, and abundance perspective. Never look at money from a fear or scarcity point of view. That's going to drive you in the wrong direction. If you're rich, keep thinking the way you're thinking and if not, maybe it's time to change the way you think about money. We're talking about beliefs and how they affect your money and wealth. It's my pleasure to welcome Buck Joffrey. Buck is an accomplished surgeon, entrepreneur, and asset manager. He's also the number one bestselling author of 7 Secrets of Eternal Wealth. He had a negative net worth when he finished surgical training back in 2008, but he quickly became a serial entrepreneur and a real estate investor, and he amassed an eight-figure net worth.

I just got back from Memphis, Tennessee where I had a great three days there. We had a two-day event. The first day was all about education, getting to know new things about things related to real estate and real estate investing and taxes and whatnot. Then we had a great networking event that evening where I got the opportunity to meet a lot of investors from all around. In fact, we had one person there from Australia, we had a couple there from Hawaii, and it was fun. These people are there to learn and they’re people who listen to this podcast and it was just a lot of fun to meet people who listen to and from their drive to work. It’s great to put faces and names to people who are out there listening and educating themselves, learning to better their financial future and create financial freedom for themselves. That first day was all about education, the evening was all networking. We got to sit around and have something to eat and have a few drinks and just overlook the Mississippi River. It was just a great time. The second day was all about a property tour. We got to go around the Memphis market, learn about various neighborhoods, get to see properties at different stages of the game; some being pre-renovation, some of them being in the middle of renovation, some of them having completed renovation. It was an exciting event. Then we had some more networking after that. It was great two and a half days of mingling and meeting other real estate investors. One of the things we got talking about there was taxes and taxation and whatnot. The question comes up, “Why do people hate paying taxes?” One reason is because they just simply don’t understand them. Albert Einstein said, “The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.” Aside from that, we just simply don’t like to pay any more than we have to. Some people feel that there is an obligation to pay, but at the same time I think you have an obligation to learn how to reduce, minimize or even eliminate the taxes that you pay when the opportunity is there. The thing is you may not know what opportunities exist because it’s just a simple matter of honest ignorance. I always say that ignorance is expensive, but knowledge leads to increased wealth and the ability to lower your taxes. If you don’t, you would think that your tax adviser would be well-educated on this stuff, but that’s just simply not the case as you’re going to learn today with my guest Bruce Jones. I had a great interview with Bruce. Something that he’s going to share a few things actually are things that I’ve looked at in the past but never quite completely grasped because it’s just what most financial planners and advisers don’t really know or understand. This is a great episode and there’s some stuff that we’re going to talk about today that might go over your head. Don’t let that get you lost just because we’re getting deep in the weeds. You could always go back and listen to this episode over again, or better yet, you can just contact Bruce and his team and learn more about it. It’s just free education.

The number one problem most real estate investors face today is knowing “how to protect” not “what to protect.”  Caught between attorneys, tax professionals, and self-proclaimed gurus, the average real estate investor finds himself awash in the quagmire of information and ideas with little coherency or consistency. Unfortunately, the reality is that most professionals do not understand the complex nature of real estate asset protection from the legal and tax perspective.  As a result you are left with a piece-meal plan based upon a fragmented stream of advice that seldom allows you to feel secure in your planning. In this episode we talk to asset protection attorney Clint Coons to examine some of the entities and strategies used by real estate investors to protect their wealth. Clint is a successful real estate investor and the manager of Anderson Business Advisors and Law Group.

I’m going to do something a little bit different today. Recently, I was invited to be a guest on The Real Estate CPA show, which is hosted by Brandon Hall. If you recall, Brandon was a guest of mine on episode 90. That episode was titled Sheltering Your Rental Income from Taxes (and Other Tax Tips). Brandon is a sharp guy, a great investor, and CPA. He focuses on creative tax strategies but he’s really dialed into the whole tax scene and how to reduce your taxes as an investor. He invited me on his show and we had a great conversation about a lot of different things. Some of it is great review for investors and other questions that he had was great for virtually any investor listening in. I wanted to share that episode with you. I did get Brandon’s permission to re-air if you will that episode on my show. We talked about things like the biggest real estate investing myth, what drives different markets, and the market differences, how to choose a market. We talked about investing locally versus long distance, the macroeconomic factors in selecting a market and there are four of them. Those are good to know. The three kinds of markets at a spectrum, there are three categorizations for that. Different types of neighborhoods, what is an A, B, and C classification for a neighborhood. This is really what I tell people when I’m doing a live presentation. It’s some good material and a few other things. It’s a great interview and I wanted to share that with you. Without any further delay, I’m going to let that roll. Hopefully, you enjoy it and we will see you again next week.

Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire, theft and some weather damage, these includes specialized forms of insurance such as building insurance, content insurance, fire insurance, flood insurance and earthquake insurance. Prevention they say is better than cure. The cost of property insurance often depends on what it would cost to replace the house and which additional items to be insured are attached to the policy. The insurance policy itself is a lengthy contract, and names what will and what will not be paid in the case of various events. Let's explore some of the basics and nuances of property insurance, as well as some uncommon or strange scenarios with my guest today. www.PassiveRealEstateInvesting.com www.NoradaRealEstate.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to another episode where we’re going to talk about the Houston, Texas market. One thing that we’ve been getting asked a little bit about recently is the effects of Hurricane Harvey. As you know, Hurricane Harvey ripped through the Caribbean and beat up some of the islands down there and hit the coast pretty hard. However, the good news is that there was no bad news. We haven’t heard from any one of our clients that had invested in the Houston market reporting any kind of flooding or damage. That’s a good thing. There’s really one key reason why that was, and we’re going to talk about that today with my guest, Bryan. Houston is an interesting city. We’ve been there for many, many years. We’ve had a lot of happy clients and success there because it’s such an incredibly diverse and progressive city. It’s the nation’s fourth largest city, growing fast. It’s known as the city of infinite possibilities. It’s quickly approaching six million residents, that’s more than 32 states and it just continues to grow. Strong jobs, strong population growth, a friendly business climate, lots of cheap land to build on, it’s just a great market. Coupled with all that, we have a lot of what we refer to as STEM jobs. STEM meaning science, technology, engineering and math. When you have jobs in the STEM field, what you have are high paying jobs. Roughly 6% of employment in Houston is held by STEM job holders. That adds to equality rental pool, that just means more stable tenants. Houston is drawing businesses in from everywhere as well as new residents. These are not only people who are looking to buy and live there, but also people who are tenants. That’s good for you and I as landlords. That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

In this episode of “Ask Marco” we answer some listener questions. Here is the actual email text: Hello Marco, I’m looking to purchase my first investment property sooner rather than later. I’ve been reading tons of books, blogs, and and listening to podcasts incessantly for the past couple of months, including the Passive Real Estate Investing Podcast (which is a great podcast. Thank you!) I live in NYC which has way too high an entrance cost into the market. Having lived in Portland Or for 9 years, I know the areas and market. It has a much lower entrance cost than NYC. But, I feel it’s kind of at the top end of a boom and I would still need to save for about a year for down payment money. Being a fan of your podcast I decided to look into Norada and was kind of blown away at how accessible rental properties are in other markets. I got excited at the prospect of being able to acquire multiple properties within a year. So, I guess my first question is addressing my lack of knowledge about these cities. I know NYC and Portland. I’m not too familiar with, say, Kansas City or Dallas and I’m uncertain of exactly what I’d be buying. This is my biggest source of uncertainty. Second, I love that Norada has a lot of the due diligence right there for each property. But, in the spirit of “trust but verify,” what research would you recommend I put forward beyond the wonderful data provided? And lastly, say I saw a property you have on Norada and decided it was what I wanted to purchase.  What would the first steps be? Thank you for your time and help, Robert F. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Download your FREE copy of: The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.

Think and Grow Rich is one of those books you see most often on the recommended reading list of people who have achieved really great things. The book was written by the commission of Andrew Carnegie. Based on interviews of over 500 people in history who now we know as great men in the early 20th century, he’s commissioned this book. He interviewed people, such as Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright, Howard Taft. This book is amazing. I read it so long ago. It was first published in 1937. It has sold more than 70 million copies. It gives it the distinction of being the all-time best-seller in the personal success category. Today’s episode is about Think and Grow Rich for real estate investors. The perfect person to bring on for this is a person who I know and respect, a friend of mine. His name is Mani Vaya. Mani is the founder of 2000Books.com where he interviews some of today’s top authors. Over the last five years, Mani has read over 1,000 books in the field of business and personal development. Get this, over the last few years, he has been reading seven books a week, which basically averages out to one book per day. The first book that revolutionized his thinking was Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. As a real estate investor, it made sense to bring him on to talk about the book and how it ties in with real estate investing.

Another question about a lender’s ability to accelerate a loan using the “Due on Sale” clause — and how to avoid it.

Americans can now retain both low income housing tax credit and private activity bonds with the new tax reform in act. This is a need that the government recognized so they created this tax break. Author of The ABCs Of Real Estate Investment, Ken McElroy deals with rental business but is a big fan of home ownership. While he understands why most investors look for good deals with low down payment, he does the complete opposite by finding rental demands in affluent areas because it will lead to less property management problems. Learn more on how you can start getting on track with you financial setting and how to stay on the course. — This episode is very exciting because I have a very special guest. A lot of you may know him. If you don’t, you’re going to get to know him. Ken McElroy is an extremely successful individual and one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors. We had a great interview, chock-full of nuggets and wisdom. I just want to take a moment to thank everybody for the success the show has had over the last two and a half years. We have over 500 five-star reviews on iTunes US. Every country has its own iTunes store, so it has its own review and rating system. This is just the US. In speaking of other countries, we are also heard in over 125 countries. Thank you to everybody from as far as Israel, Australia, the UK, Portugal, France, you name it. It’s because of you that the show is a success. The reason I do it is to help share information, wisdom and knowledge with you. Once again, I just want to say that we had an incredible 2017. It was our busiest year ever. We’re on track to make 2018 the same. We love helping real estate investors, people who are real estate investors or want to be real estate investors. If you’re one of those people that have been listening for a while, sitting on the fence, you’ve got some investable capital and you know you need to make a decision on your financial future, let us help you take it to the next level or let us help you get started. That’s what we’re here to do. Just schedule a free strategy session with one of our investment counselors. Have that initial 30 or 60-minute conversation to figure out where you are today, where you want to go, what is the plan and the path to get you there. We can take that roadmap and help you take it one step at a time to achieve those financial goals. It really just comes down to having a plan, executing that plan, and having a criteria that’s attached to it. It’s not that hard to do and we want to help you do it. In fact, I’m probably going to record a podcast episode about that topic. I will try to do that here in the very near future. Last but not least, I’ve been very busy looking at underwriting some syndication deals as well. I’ve looked at a number of them last year. Unfortunately, they just didn’t meet my criteria and my underwriting basically just punted it out the door. One of them took over three months to underwrite. What we have on the table right now for people who are either accredited or are not accredited but have a smaller amount of investment capital, I’m looking to put together syndicated or group investments of ten-pack or twenty-pack single-family homes. That’s something that I have started working on. However, I’m probably not going to release or announce that for a month or two. Two opportunities I’m working on actively right now and that actually is open to accredited investors are cannabis-related investments. Believe it or not, real estate does play into some of those opportunities. You would have to just reach out to me directly for that information and I would need to connect with you via email and/or phone before I can send you that information.
