    The $10,000 Mistake: Why One Bad Review Can Kill Your Profits

    Think hotel investing is "passive real estate"? Think again. In this episode of Get Diversified, host Jacqueline Landry sits down with industry heavyweights Rikesh "Thunder" Patel and Kevin Kohler to expose the brutal operational realities of the hospitality world. Rikesh, a 20-year veteran with brands like Wyndham and IHG, explains why a single negative guest review is more than just a headache—it can represent a $10,000 loss in revenue. We go deep into the "Brand Trap," where companies like Marriott and Hilton can mandate million-dollar renovations (PIPs) on your dime, and the labor crisis where you must hire eight people just to keep one. Whether you are a seasoned investor or looking to diversify, this episode reveals why you must treat hotels as operating businesses first and real estate second.

    EP# 108.2 | AI-Driven Acquisition: The 5-Minute LOI | Alex Kononov

    Most investors fail not because they can't find deals, but because they can’t move fast enough. They get stuck in "analysis paralysis," drowning in spreadsheets while the best properties get snatched up by faster players.  In this episode, Alex Kononov, founder of Uwise.io, reveals how he’s using an AI-native "Deal Maker" platform to strip the friction out of multifamily investing. Whether you are looking for 4-unit residential or 150-unit commercial assets, Alex breaks down the exact workflow to go from "raw lead" to "submitted offer" in minutes.  Inside this episode, you’ll discover: The "Magic Triangle" Strategy: How to use big-box retail data (Whole Foods, Starbucks, Trader Joe's) to identify the "Path of Progress" before everyone else. The AI Napkin Calculator: How to reverse-engineer your offer price to ensure you’re buying at 75 cents on the dollar. Fact-Checking Sponsors: Why passive investors need to use AI to verify rental rates and cap rates before signing on the dotted line. The Death of Procrastination: How to automate your LOIs and offer letters so you can focus on the only thing that matters—talking to brokers. Resources Mentioned: Visit uwise.ioConnect with Alex: Follow @pathofpro on all social platforms.  CONNECT WITH MORE-LAND:  Website: www.morelandequity.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/more-land-equity-capital/?viewAsMember=true Facebook: www.facebook.com/morelandequity Instagram: www.instagram.com/morelandequity/ SUBSCRIBE TO GET DIVERSIFIED PODCAST:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morelandequitycapital Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3T9pkYD9u09vhUQEr4JdxC Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ru/podcast/get-diversified-podcast/id1673834219 DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

    EP# 108.1 | Tapped Out & Maxed Out: The Seller Financing Hack to Buying 7-Unit Buildings | Alex Kononov

    STOP! If you think you need a massive bank account or a perfect credit score to scale your real estate portfolio, you’ve been lied to.  In this explosive episode of Get Diversified, Jacqueline Landry sits down with Alex Kononov, a real estate titan who went from a W2 job to a 30-unit empire in just 24 months.  But it wasn't easy. Alex reveals the raw, "in-the-trenches" truth about how he closed a 7-unit commercial deal while being completely tapped out of cash and having his credit cards maxed out from previous renovations.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The "Shadow" Strategy: How Alex bypassed skeptical brokers to pitch Seller Financing directly to the owner—securing a deal with only 10% down at a 5% interest rate. The Hoarder House Blueprint: The exact steps Alex took to turn a "smelliest house on the block" into an infinite return cash cow using the BRRRR method. Renovating Through Hell: How to manage a gut-reno during COVID while losing contractors, losing deposits, and paying $30/day just in New Jersey road tolls. The Future of Deal Making: Why traditional underwriting is "slow and fragmented" and how Alex is using AI-native tech to analyze deals 10x faster. The banks said "No." The brokers said "No." Alex found a way to say "YES."  If you’re tired of "waiting for the right time" or "saving up more money," this is your wake-up call. The difference between a struggling landlord and a real estate mogul isn't capital—it’s leverage and persistence.  #RealEstateInvesting #SellerFinancing #BRRRR #FinancialFreedom #PassiveIncome #RealEstateHacks #CommercialRealEstate #EntrepreneurGrowth #GetDiversified #PropertyInvesting #AIInRealEstate #MultifamilyInvesting #WealthBuilding #RealEstateInvestor #NoMoneyDown
