The REtipster Podcast Seth Williams

130: Today I'm talking with John Casmon of Casmon Capital Group.

I first met John a couple of years ago when he had me on his podcast and he struck me as a great guy, very down-to-earth with a lot of knowledge to share from the world of commercial real estate.
John is a real estate entrepreneur who has partnered with busy professionals to invest in over $100 million worth of apartments. John also consults active multifamily investors to help them start or grow their businesses. He also hosts the Multifamily Insights podcast and is the co-creator of the Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit.

If you've ever wondered when you're ready to go full-time as a real estate investor, John has an interesting story to tell about how he knew it was time to take the leap. He also has some great insights about the importance of networking and how to get connected with the right people who can help you get where you want to go.

129: I met Adam Carroll at a conference earlier this year, where he was one of the keynote speakers. When I talked to him at lunch, he was telling me about this thing called The Shred Method that struck me as a fascinating way to destroy personal debt much faster than most of us realize is possible.

Adam has spent the past two decades teaching people how to eradicate debt and leverage equity in the most efficient way possible. He's a two-time TED talk speaker with one talk surpassing 6 million views on Youtube and TED.com. Adam developed a proprietary program that helps people leverage their equity to pay off their debt much faster.

128: This past month, I met Casey Inman at the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference.

As I got to talking with him, I discovered something very interesting about his approach to the land investing business. This guy doesn’t rely on direct mail at all. It literally plays no part whatsoever in his process of finding deals.
I found this fascinating and it struck me that we need to get this guy on the podcast to learn more about what he’s doing.
Why is this important? Because a lot of us land flippers look at direct mail like it's the lifeblood of our business and THE ONLY real way to get deals. But Casey is tangible proof that there are plenty of other ways to find deals and keep them coming in the door.

127: Land banking is something I’ve always had a basic understanding of, but there are certain aspects of it that have always confused me (like how to predict what the value of land will be 10 years from now) and other parts of it have turned me off (like the idea of just sitting on a property for years).

I’m definitely not an expert in this sub-niche of land investing, but I wanted to get in touch with someone who is, so we could dissect this strategy and figure out how it works.

Brad Warren is a land banking consultant and I thought Brad would be a good person to help clear up some confusion about why and how some land investors choose this approach.

If land banking is something you'd like to try out, hopefully, Brad’s input can help you figure that out for yourself.

126: Today we’re talking with an acquaintance that we often run into at most of the real estate conferences we attend, his name is Alexander Scott Felice.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/126)
Alex is a real estate investor, Army Veteran, and online content creator who does a great job of detailing all of his deals on his website at brokeisachoice.com.
In this conversation, we're talking about where the market is at today, how he finds and works with RV parks and how he makes big business decisions through his unique philosophy.

125: Have you ever gotten into something with a certain set of expectations, only to find that there were some ugly, inconvenient truths nobody told you about how it really works?

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/125)
In this episode, Jaren and I are going to cover all of the things we wish we had known about how the land business works.
Some of these things are negatives that will apply to everyone who gets into this business. Others are necessarily negative and they won't always apply to everyone, but they're very real facts of life that we didn't know when we got into it, and we want you to be aware of them.
