    The AirBNB Playbook: Achieving Success in the STR Investment Market with Taylor Jones

    Episode 47 – Taylor Jones "Do I want small? Do I want big? Do I want coastal mountain, lake, urban? Do I want more turnkey or, you know, more of a gut reno value add? How much do I want to maximize tax savings versus cash flow? Do you wanna maximize cashflow or real estate appreciation or tax benefit? Because there is no such thing as getting all three maximized in a market. That doesn't exist. If it did, everybody would buy there and then that market would suck tomorrow. So you kinda have to figure out where do you wanna give? Do you care about the long-term appreciation? Do you care about the tax benefit? Or do you just want this to be a kick-ass ATM machine that just prints money for you?"Join me this week as I interview Taylor Jones, Head of Acquisitions for STR Search. Taylor started his career in baseball and eventually transitioned into real estate during COVID. Over the past few years, Taylor has become an expert in short-term rentals (STRs) and acquisitions. He has acquired an Airbnb portfolio worth over $92 million and is currently helping other investors navigate the STR market to find investments that help them reach their personal goals.   Taylor and I discuss: The financial factors of Airbnb investmentsOperational management of STRsOwner-managed rentals versus hiring personnelTax benefits and investment strategies with STRsNavigating the STR market and finding the right property  LinkedIn: @taylor-jones-38997154 X (formerly Twitter): @MrJonesSTRs Instagram: @MrJonesSTRs Email: taylor@strsearch.com https://strsearch.com/ ------------------------THE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEY Get your free e-book here: Top 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate Investments Invest with Glenn: https://www.verticalequityproperties.com/about www.themillionairejourney.nethttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/   LinkedIn: @glennyaneyX (formerly Twitter): @glennyaney Podcast Management by Kelly Carlson Creative Services

    Maximizing Income Streams: Jeff Ervick's Guide to Multifamily Investments

    Episode 46 - Jeff Ervick "I didn't get into real estate to get out of my W2. I got it to complement my W2. I love to add multiple streams of income into my portfolio, so to speak. And so my entire life is a portfolio, right? So what do I have? I've got a W-2 job, right? I've got different asset classes in real estate. I've got different lending businesses. I do different types of policies and so forth. I've got a lot of things that kind of come together to be able to diversify my own portfolio. But I got into real estate mainly because I just have a love for it. It's like a passion of mine. I don't know. I guess most people do it because they want to get out of their job. I'm doing it because I want to keep both my job and build a portfolio. So yeah, it's wild."Join me this week as I interview Jeff Ervick, the co-founder and managing partner of Valoris Capital Partner. With over 20 years of experience in the Information Technology sector, Jeff has built expertise in sales, successfully closing multi-million-dollar deals and driving business growth.

    The Power of Partnerships: Bradley Seidel on Scaling Real Estate with the Right Team

    Episode 45 – Bradley Seidel   “It's the team, right? You're like, how does someone who has a military background, who's been flying for 11 years, then hops into a company like this, it's because of the team that I surrounded myself with. And that was a big part. You can't do this by yourself. You can't even come close to the scale that we're doing right now… by yourself. It just can't be done. And I don't care who you are. You can't learn fast enough... You have to find your partners because what have you learned from doing this? Oh, my gosh, countless stuff. Let's learn from the others, and not learn from your own mistakes, right? That's the big piece.”   Join me this week as I interview Bradley Seidel, a retired U.S. Navy Pilot, who has transitioned from military service to a thriving career in real estate. Brad is the Chief Investment Officer for Burton Capital Group, a company focused on Class A multifamily student housing properties.

    From Sewage to Success: Overcoming Septic Tanks, Potholes, and Challenges in Mobile Home Parks with Tyler Lekas

    "If you don't increase rents, they can't ask more of you on the management side, because you can't pay anybody. Right? And you can't pay for infrastructure. And you can't pay to keep the property up. And you can't pay for new improvements because the government is constantly raising taxes on us. Insurance is constantly raising their rates. Our plumbers are constantly raising their rates, etcetera. So as the lot rents get higher, it's not pretty. I don't like it any more than anybody else does as prices go up. But we get more professional management, right? And that's better for the residents. We get more amenities, which is better for the residents. The parks stay around."Join me this week as I interview Tyler Lekas, a principal operator at MHCI Group, a leading firm specializing in the acquisition of Manufactured Housing Communities (MHCs). With a strong background in financial advising, having started his career at First Investors and Stifel Nicolaus, Tyler has transitioned his expertise into the world of real estate investment. Since 2017, he has been acquiring and managing MHCs, and by 2018, he had already purchased his first 55-space park in Florida.

    Profiting with Partnerships and Scaling with Systems: AJ Smith's Path to Financial Freedom

    Episode 43 with AJ Smith "I think that financial freedom is very much suited to the individual. It's something that each person may define for themselves. But for me, I think it's that last one. Right? I had initially - I think in my brain like -  it's the freedom to work for yourself, and I personally reached that level, you know, and I've enjoyed it. But, I think that as you go along in the journey, you also start to look for freedom to give back to the community, to lift up your friends and family, to do some of the other things that maybe you can't do if you're just kind of focused on base level survival for yourself and your family. And having the ability to do those things, I think is another another level, even above what we've talked about as well."Join me this week as I interview AJ Smith, the founder of Goldsmith Properties, LLC. AJ started his real estate journey a month out of college, analyzing over 700 deals before purchasing his first property. After a few years of working a W-2 while house hacking and flipping smaller multifamily spaces, he was ready to scale his portfolio and take on larger commercial real estate deals. With a focus on high-growth, landlord-friendly markets like Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Northwest Arkansas, AJ has successfully turned underperforming properties into profitable assets, including a recent project that increased rental income by over 50%.  His skill in value-add strategies and his expertise in managing teams and systems have helped him build a diverse portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties. AJ’s passion for real estate and disciplined management continues to drive his success, providing solid returns for investors and positioning Goldsmith Properties as a leader in the market. AJ and I discuss: ·         His journey from accounting and store management to real estate ·         Flipping houses: strategies and challenges ·         Scaling his portfolio to larger commercial real estate deals ·         The power of structuring partnerships ·         Building systems and delegating responsibilities ·         Market focus and in-house construction ·         How strong systems and procedures can accelerate your business ·         Asset management and investor relations ·         Defining financial freedom and success   Episode Links:   LinkedIn: @ajsmith77 IG: @ajsmithrealestate Facebook: @ajsmithrealestate The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy ------------------------THE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEY Get your free e-book here: Top 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate Investments Invest with Glenn: https://www.verticalequityproperties.com/about www.themillionairejourney.nethttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/   LinkedIn: @glennyaneyX (formerly Twitter): @glennyaney Podcast Management by Kelly Carlson Creative Services

    House Hacking to Financial Freedom: Michael Wagman’s Game-Changer Moment

    “Then when I moved to Tampa, I bought a four-unit building and I lived in one of the units. I renovated as many as I could, and then I moved into one. And that was the real game changer. An aha moment for me. And I mean, I had tried other things up to that point. I tried wholesaling; I hated that with a burning passion. I tried being a realtor and hated that even more than I hate wholesaling. So, props to any successful realtors out there. But buying that first four unit and accidentally sort of getting into house hacking was revolutionary for me because now that I no longer had a housing payment, I was actually getting paid to live where I was living.”  Join me this week as I interview Michael Wagman, the managing partner and co-founder of Nimble Capital Group. Michael began his real estate journey at the age of 25, flipping houses with no prior knowledge, all due to his love of the shows on HGTV. Having tried most strategies from wholesaling to house hacking to vacation rentals, he finally found his passion in multifamily and large syndication deals. Michael started with one flip that turned into 700 rental doors and 3 developments. Today, his company holds a portfolio of over $60 million.  Michael and I discuss: ·         His love of HGTV that led to flipping houses ·         The impact of house hacking to financial freedom ·         His transition from flipping to multifamily investments and development ·         Navigating the multifamily market post-pandemic ·         Creative financing strategies ·         Understanding development projects and deals ·         Investor profiles and market sentiment ·         Tax strategies and real estate investments   Episode Links:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelwagman/ YouTube: @nimblecapitalgroup5053 IG: https://www.instagram.com/nimble_capital_group/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nimblecapital2022   https://nimblecapitalgroup.com/ ------------------------THE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEY Get your free e-book here: Top 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate Investments Invest with Glenn: https://www.verticalequityproperties.com/about www.themillionairejourney.nethttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/   LinkedIn: @glennyaneyX (formerly Twitter): @glennyaney Podcast Management by Kelly Carlson Creative Services

    Cashflow Concepts: IBC and Velocity Banking with Logan Hertz (Part 2)

    Episode 41 with Logan Hertz (Part 2) "Most people, unfortunately, put the cart before the horse where they start investing before they start saving. Right. And part of the way that they are manipulated is the financial powers that be tell them that they're saving for retirement by putting money in a 401k. That's not a savings vehicle. That's an investing vehicle and you're giving up liquidity. Putting money into whole life insurance is building liquidity. It's a savings vehicle. Putting money into a savings account is a savings vehicle. Right? So you need to start with that foundation first. You start with the protection, the savings, then you can get into investing and then into speculating." Join me this week for the second half of my interview with Logan Hertz the Founder of Hazeltine, LLC. This week we focus on how to use the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) with velocity banking to make the most of your money. Logan spent over a decade as a business strategy consultant for C-Level Executives. While in the corporate space, he began to question the conventional strategies for building financial freedom and in his quest discovered dividend-paying whole life insurance. In 2020, he founded Hazeltine, LLC and became an Infinite Banking Specialist, setting out to help clients escape traditional banking to become their own bankers.   Logan and I discuss: Combining IBC and velocity banking for successLiquidity, access, and control in financial strategiesThe role of savings before investingThe role of liquidity in financial securityEpisode Links:   LinkedIn: @loganhertz YouTube: @HazeltineLLC Email: info@hazeltinellc.com www.hazeltinellc.com ------------------------THE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEY Get your free e-book here: Top 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate Investments Invest with Glenn: https://www.verticalequityproperties.com/about www.themillionairejourney.nethttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/   LinkedIn: @glennyaneyX (formerly Twitter): @glennyaney Podcast Management by Kelly Carlson Creative Services

    Episode 40 with Logan Hertz   “Yeah, your human life value. So, first of all, most people fully insure their houses. They fully insure their cars. They would never think of not doing such a thing, but they don't fully insure their lives. In fact, they don't even know what their human life value is, right? So when people ask, you know, they ask how much life insurance do I need? Well, that's the wrong question. Okay. Who's the expert at determining your human life value? It's not you.” Join me this week as I interview Logan Hertz the Founder of Hazeltine, LLC in part one of two episodes focusing on Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) and velocity banking.
