    Navigating the Commercial Real Estate Crisis, with John Chang of Marcus & Millichap

    Navigating the Commercial Real Estate Crisis, with John Chang of Marcus & Millichap

    There's been a lot of debate about the state of the economy and so many questions about where we're headed next. Are we going to see banks tumbling because of commercial loans that can’t be refinanced? Are we headed into a recession because of high interest rates? What's going to happen with the housing market as demand keeps pushing home prices unaffordably higher? Are they ever going to come down? 
     
    In this episode, you’ll be getting answers to all those questions and many more from one of my all-time favorite guests, John Chang of Marcus & Millichap. I've been lucky enough to be on his side of the table during debates at the Best Ever Conference, which is coming up, by the way. If you haven't bought a ticket, do it. I'm not being paid to say this. I just love that conference and I will be there. John Chang will also be speaking there and you won't want to miss it. But he's also here with me on the Real Wealth Show.
     
    So here's a little bit about John. He serves as the National Director of Research Services for Marcus and Millichap. He’s become a leading source of market analysis, insight and forecasting, and is responsible for the production of his company’s vast array of commercial real estate publications. They cover all major commercial property types including hotels, industrial, manufactured housing, multifamily, office, medical office, retail multi-tenant, retail single-tenant, self-storage and senior housing.
     
    Join RealWealth for more information and insight about the single-family rental business, and be sure to subscribe to this podcast for some of the best expert interviews on the internet!

    How the Corporate Transparency Act Could Create a Paperwork Nightmare for Small Business Owners

    How the Corporate Transparency Act Could Create a Paperwork Nightmare for Small Business Owners

    The Corporate Transparency Act is suddenly in the spotlight as a paperwork nightmare that just got shot down in court, but only for a specific group of individuals. Millions more will still be required to comply with the legislation, and the Federal Government has said it will appeal the ruling that protects members of that one group, so the fight is not over.
     
    The Corporate Transparency Act is meant to control financial crimes like money laundering and the financing of terrorism, but it will also impact some five million above-board companies and individuals, such as real estate investors with LLC’s or other kinds of entities AND the CPA’s or attorneys who handle their affairs. And violating the Act could add up to tens of thousands of dollars in fines and jail time. There are also strict deadlines to comply.
     
    In this episode, you’ll hear from syndication attorney Mauricio Rauld. He’s the founder and chairman of Premier Law Group and the host of The Real Estate Syndicator LIVE Show on YouTube. He’s one of the top syndication attorneys in the US helping real estate syndicators raise hundreds of millions of dollars for investors pursuing their financial freedom. And he will explain in detail how these new regulations could affect you!
     
    Please remember to join RealWealth to learn what you need to know about real estate investing including the use of LLC’s as a popular asset protection strategy. And don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast to keep yourself informed from some of the most respected real estate experts in the country. And please check this podcast out on YouTube where you can watch the video version of this podcast in addition to lots more valuable content RealWealth posts on the regular!

    What You Need to Know About HVAC Systems “Before” You Buy that Rental!

    What You Need to Know About HVAC Systems “Before” You Buy that Rental!

    What potential issues should you be looking for when purchasing an investment property? It’s easy to spot superficial issues, but others may not be obvious - such as the condition of the home’s heating and cooling system. And replacing an HVAC system can be costly! The secret formula is simple, cost effective, and reliable. But how do you make that happen?
     
    In this episode, you’ll hear from an expert who can answer that question. And he covers a lot of ground with clear explanations that will leave you feeling well informed. Among the topics he talks about:
     
    1 - The average life expectancy of an HVAC system
    2 - Why life expectancy varies from region to region.
    3 - How much you can expect to pay for a new system
    4 - Whether you should get a high efficiency system for rentals
    5 - The pros and cons of a high efficiency system
    6 - What you need to know about maintenance
     
    Our expert is Howard Bynder. He is a Colorado-based entrepreneur and real estate investor who operates The Bee Heat & AC company. His company provides services in Colorado and parts of Arizona. He also thrives on sharing what he knows with homeowners and investors to help them make better decisions about real estate. He even coaches his employees on the creation of long-term wealth and smart real estate decisions. You can find out more about Howard at The Bee Heat & AC website and his YouTube channel, The HVAC Dope Show.
     
    If you’d like to find out more about buying newly-built rentals which would have brand-new HVAC systems that need no repairs, be sure you’ve signed up as a RealWealth member. It’s free and will help get you going on your real estate investing journey. That’s at realwealthshow.com.

    Reduce Your Risk in Real Estate Deals: Secrets from a Master Negotiator

    Reduce Your Risk in Real Estate Deals: Secrets from a Master Negotiator

    Real estate deals are often put together with options, such as the option to buy if certain conditions are met. But exactly what are they? And how can they work in your favor to lower your risk in a real estate transaction? That’s what you’ll find out in this interview!
    In this episode, my long-time partner and master negotiator, Fred Bates, will answer those questions. Fred and I have done 14 syndications together building homes all over the country. We’ve had projects in  Florida, Montana, Nevada, California, and Oregon. And right now, we have another project in Oregon with a much lower risk to the investor thanks to the use of an option. You’ll hear how Fred negotiated that deal and why he’s calling it his best deal ever!
    The Oregon project is an exciting deal which is open to accredited  investors until sometime next month. It provides a 12.5% preferred return with distributions expected to begin by the end of this year. Investors will also get 25% of the profits. You can find out more about our Ridgewater project in Klamath Falls, Oregon at growdevelopments.com. I’ll also be doing a webinar on this project February 29th, which you can join live or watch as a replay.
    Also, please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review!
    Thanks for listening!
