    S6E13: Brandon Cobb – Land Development & Building Houses

    In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge (North Idaho real estate agent & investor) and Jeremy Kitchen (hard money lender) welcome Brandon Cobb from Nashville, TN — CEO at HBG Capital, real estate investment consultant, and owner of Land Development Accelerator (a mastermind coaching program teaching how to turn land into new housing communities, covering entitlements, development, and new construction). Brandon, a former medical device sales rep, manages $22M+ in annual land development, has been featured on the cover of REI Wealth and Realty 411 magazines, and published in Forbes. His passion? Creating unforgettable experiences with loved ones, using business as a tool. Brandon shares his raw journey: Fired from his dream job, early business failures, scaling from flips to new builds, and now land development pre-sold to national builders (Lennar, D.R. Horton). Highlights include 10+ year partnership secrets, outsourcing for efficiency, market pivots (COVID losses & wins), land process (finding sites, entitlements, big deposits), forced appreciation, and 7-figure deals. Compelling stories: Losing $1M+ on a land deal, making $1.4M on another, biggest developer mistakes, raising private capital, and why affordable homes are a hot 3-5 year investment. Ideal for real estate investors scaling to land/new construction, agents seeking referral insights, or small business owners diversifying.

    S6E12: Eleven Reasons to Own Rentals

    In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge (real estate agent & investor) and Jeremy Kitchen (hard money lender) dive deep into why rental properties remain one of the most powerful wealth-building tools — even in today's market. We cover 11 powerful reasons (plus a bonus #12 on stacked returns) why owning long-term rentals makes sense for real estate investors, agents, and small business owners: Steady passive income (with extras like laundry, storage, or future Airbnb potential)Property appreciation — North Idaho has historically outpaced inflationMassive tax advantages (deductions, depreciation, and real estate professional benefits)Easy leverage using other people's money (banks love collateralizing real estate)Built-in inflation hedge — fixed-rate debt + rising rents over timePortfolio diversification and recession resilience (rentals often perform well when stocks tank)Full control & customization over your asset (upgrades, tenants, pricing)Automatic equity building through amortization (tenants pay down your mortgage)Generational wealth & legacy planning (easy transfer, step-up basis)Strong demand & resilience in economic shifts (people always need housing + Section 8 options)Personal growth, business savvy, and community impact as a landlord Bonus #12: Stacked returns — see how low cash-flow rentals can deliver 20-30%+ effective ROI in year 1 when you layer cash flow + principal paydown + appreciation + tax savingsWe get real about the challenges (tenants, capex, management), but explain how property managers, systems, and selective buying make rentals truly semi-passive. Perfect for anyone building long-term wealth in real estate — whether you're in North Idaho or looking for referral opportunities nationwide. If you're a real estate investor tired of hearing "rentals don't cash flow anymore," an agent wanting smarter conversations with clients, or a small business owner exploring diversification — this episode is for you.

    S6E11: How I Built My Real Estate Org Chart for Max Asset Protection + Roth IRA LLC Secrets

    In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen dive deep into real-world asset protection and estate planning for real estate investors. Nick shares his actual organizational chart (org chart) — a multi-layered structure featuring a revocable living trust at the top, a Wyoming LLC for charging order protection, multiple Idaho LLCs holding rentals, flips, and an RV park, plus a self-directed Roth IRA LLC for alternative investments. Key topics covered: Why your personal residence stays in the revocable living trust (not an LLC) — preserve homestead exemption, capital gains exclusion ($250k/$500k), avoid due-on-sale clauses & insurance issuesWyoming LLC as a holding company: Strongest charging order protection (even for single-member LLCs), shields personal assets from business liabilities and vice versaHow many properties per LLC?

    S6E10: Networking for Real Estate Investors – Who to Trust, Who to Avoid & Why Meetups Still Matter

    Real estate investors, agents, flippers, and entrepreneurs – don’t skip this one! Hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen tackle the controversial advice floating around: Should new investors avoid networking events and meetups because of “gurus” and sales pitches?Key takeaways:Networking is STILL one of the fastest ways to build deals, find partners, lenders, contractors, and off-market opportunitiesYour network = your net worth – connections solve problems faster and open doors you didn’t know existedNot all advice is equal: Vet who you listen to (experience matters more than loud online opinions)Go with purpose: Have a “shopping list” (e.g., need a roofer? Hard money? Private lender?) so you’re selling YOUR needs, not just being soldRed flags vs. reality: Con artists exist everywhere (even Costco!), but most people at meetups are genuinely helpful – focus on building real relationshipsSuccess stories: Deals closed, partnerships formed, problems solved – all from showing up consistentlyPro tip: You’re either selling or being sold – walk in intentional, leave with winsPerfect for beginners wondering where to start and veterans sharpening their edge.

    S6E6: Goals for 2026 -- Investor Shed Podcast

    Kick off 2026 with motivation! In this New Year's Day episode (dropping January 1st, 2026), hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen get real about goal setting for the year ahead. From stretching revenue targets to optimizing taxes, building online presence, and balancing family life – they break down how to reverse-engineer big dreams into actionable steps. Jeremy shares his 2025 wins (nearly hitting $160K in his real estate photography/media business despite a lofty $200K goal) and his 2026 plans: aiming for $250K revenue, funding Roth IRA/401k aggressively, doing 1-4 flips, trimming expenses, and refocusing on family with monthly date nights. Nick reflects on past goal-setting lessons (like undershooting at $62.5K early in his career), the power of accountability, and his wake-up call from AI search results – committing to ramp up online presence (more reviews, consistent content) to attract investor clients. Plus, he's hunting for a full-time rockstar agent to join the team and finishing his mountain cabin build! Key takeaways: Set lofty (but smart) goals to expand your potential Break them down: Annual → Monthly → Weekly actions Use tools like vision boards, 411 sheets, and accountability partners Optimize taxes (HSA/FSA, business health insurance) Build habits for wins – even small ones compound Perfect for real estate investors, agents, flippers, hard money lenders, and entrepreneurs crushing 2026! 💪 If you're setting goals this year, drop them in the comments – we might shout you out or share tips! #RealEstateInvesting #GoalSetting2026 #RealEstateGoals #InvestorMindset #HouseFlipping #HardMoneyLending #RealEstateAgent #NorthIdahoRealEstate #RealEstatePhotography #BusinessGoals #TaxOptimization #RothIRA #RealEstateTeam #VisionBoard #AccountabilityPartner #EntrepreneurLife #NewYearGoals #InvestInRealEstate #PropertyInvestment #RealEstatePodcast 🔗 Connect with us: Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShed Nick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridge Real Estate Website: northidahorei.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/ Join our FREE Investor Shed Mastermind (weekly calls for real estate investors – while it lasts!): https://www.skool.com/investor-shed-mastermind-3760/about?ref=3954156a8a584514a27931cc84f33c46 Watch now and let's crush 2026 together! 🏡📈
