Stacking Deeds: Strategies, Market Trends, Tools, and Education For Real Estate Investors Joe Saul-Sehy & Crystal Hammond

Is your real estate empire working for you or are you working for your real estate empire? Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be free to do whatever you wish, not burdened by a full time job hanging over your head? The problem with many real estate investors is that they trade working full-time for someone else for longer hours, maintaining an unwieldy real estate empire. Today we help you change that as we roll back the clock to the fall of 2023 when we chatted with Chad Carson, AKA "Coach Carson" about building a small but mighty real estate empire. One big enough to fund your dreams but not so big that you're constantly working to maintain it. How do you set all of this up? He'll explain.
Of course, we'll also include a compelling headline, a call to Ruth's Rotary phone, and some of Doug's eclectic real estate trivia. 
Enjoy!

Commercial real estate is a different beast than what most of our Deeders are used to. You’re dealing with bigger companies who are more likely to analyze the deal carefully and over a different timeframe than the mom-and-pop renting out your AirBnB. They also have different interests, like triple-net leasing and space that’s easily transferable. So what do you need to know? Today we chat with Neil Timmins, an investor in Iowa who by age 29 became the number one REMAX realtor in the state. After many residential projects, Neil had his first opportunity for a commercial deal and took it, and he was hooked. He’ll share the ins-and-outs of the commercial space, how to find your first deal, who to approach, and more.











 
In our headline, what could go wrong when you invest in a hot market? Plenty. Today we share a cautionary tale so that you don’t make some key mistakes when investing in your first property (or second, third, etc.). Plus, Doug shares his property pop quiz, and more! It’s another exciting day in the back of Ruth’s car learning about real estate!
