    🎙️ Pivoting From a Construction Company to Senior Living Housing Investing with Roberto Carbetta Part 2

    Roberto Carbetta’s journey shows you don’t need millions or to quit your job to succeed in real estate. He began as a Toronto bank teller, later ran a contracting business, and then shifted to multifamily and senior living in Florida. Today, he manages a $25M+ portfolio, focusing on senior living as demand grows with the aging population. 🚤 How to Invest While Working Full-Time Roberto built on the side—buying single-family homes every 18 months while running his company, then moving into U.S. multifamily and senior living. His message: set clear goals, keep learning, and partner with the right teams. 🏘️ Senior Living Deal in Georgia Roberto’s team bought a Claxton, GA facility for $2.5M using debt, seller financing, and $750K from investors. By raising rents, they nearly doubled NOI, delivering returns far above expectations. 📈 Current Focus 90% of Roberto’s time is on senior living, targeting mom-and-pop owners ready to exit. With new units costing $300K but existing assets under $100K, he sees massive opportunity as 10,000 people turn 65 daily. 🎯 Key Takeaways • The hardest deal is the first—start now. • Use job/business income as leverage. • Partner with strong operators to learn. • Focus on undeniable demand, like senior living. • Protect your time by teaming with pros. 🧭 Investor Advice Trust is #1—know the operator, deal, and market. Once in, capital stays tied up until refinance/sale. For passive investors, real estate offers cash flow, appreciation, and tax perks without operational stress. 📚 Books • Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell – learn to delegate and scale. 📚 Final Thoughts Roberto’s path—from W-2 worker to $25M+ investor—shows you can grow in real estate without quitting your job.

    From Bank Teller to $25M Portfolio with Roberto Carbetta

    Intro — for busy pros & business owners: Roberto Carbetta didn’t wait for retirement to invest—he built his real estate journey alongside long work hours, proving steady action drives results. Starting as a Toronto bank teller, he learned from wealthy clients tied to real estate, bought his first deal at 21, ran a construction business for over a decade, and now helps manage a $25M portfolio in multifamily and senior living. 🚀 🎙️ Episode Snapshot — What’s in this conversation Early spark: Wealthy bank clients all tied to real estate.First step: Bought a condo at 21—before telling his parents.Work + investing: 20 years in construction while acquiring rentals.Pivot to the U.S.: Moved to Fort Lauderdale, embraced syndications.Today’s focus: ~90% on senior living acquisitions & underwriting.🛠️ How to Invest in Real Estate While Working Full-Time Roberto worked 12-hour days on job sites, then researched evenings and weekends.

    🎙️ Balancing a Yacht-Captain Career While Building a Real Estate Portfolio with Scott Kidd

    Most people assume you need to quit your job to build wealth in real estate, but Scott Kidd proves otherwise. After 20 years as a yacht captain, he built a portfolio of multifamily properties and syndications—all while managing luxury yachts full-time. His journey shows how demanding professionals can still scale by leveraging partnerships, systems, and mindset. Scott’s start was simple: buying a single-family home and rolling that into more deals. A chance conversation on the beach with an investor who flipped a 46-unit property was his turning point. From there, he leaned into meetups, joint ventures, and partnerships that led him to multifamily. Today, he’s active in syndications, capital raising, and investor relations—all while continuing his yacht career. 🚤 How to Invest in Real Estate While Working or Running a Business Full-Time Scott balances his yacht career with real estate by focusing on what he can do remotely—investor calls, analysis, and relationships—while relying on partners for management. Tools like DocuSign and Starlink let him close a 13-unit deal from The Bahamas. His message: you don’t have to be on the ground daily to succeed. 🏘️ Lessons from an 8-Unit Deal in Florida An early multifamily deal in West Palm Beach tripled returns in just eight months after unexpected challenges pushed the team to sell. That success shifted Scott’s focus toward raising capital for larger, more stable properties. 📈 Current Focus: Scaling Through Syndications Scott and his partners are now working on a 72-unit in Columbus, Ohio, chosen for its strong fundamentals: Ohio State University, corporate HQs, and major investments from Intel, Honda, and Amazon. He believes today’s market favors newer investors since many larger players are sitting out. His advice: keep looking—if the numbers work, it’s a good time to buy. 🎯 Key Takeaways for High-Income Earners and Business Owners Start small: house hacks, duplexes, or small multifamily.Use W-2 income as leverage with banks.Partner with experienced operators.Protect your time—delegate management, focus on high-value work.🧭 Coaching Round: Scott’s Advice for Investors For New Investors: Define Goals Early  Choose if you want to be active (finding/running deals) or passive (providing capital and earning returns). Balancing Career, Family, and Real Estate: Play to Strengths  Focus on what excites you—networking, analysis, or investor relations. Passion makes balancing easier. Starting with Little Money or Time: Network Nonstop  Join groups that align with your goals. Add value by sourcing deals, underwriting, or raising capital. Why Passive Investing Works  Steady cash flow and tax benefits like depreciation. (Always check with a CPA.) Books for Active and Passive Investors Mindset by Carol DweckThe Hands-Off Investor by Brian Burke📚 Final Thoughts Scott Kidd proves you can thrive in real estate without quitting your career. By leaning on partners, focusing on strengths, and using technology, he built a portfolio that secures his family’s future. The takeaway: you don’t need to quit your job—you just need the right plan, the right partners, and the drive to act.

  7. 🚨 Beware Of Bad Real Estate Coaching Programs With Bill Ham

    🚨 Beware Of Bad Real Estate Coaching Programs With Bill Ham

    ️ Guest: Bill Ham — multifamily owner/operator since 2005, author of Real Estate Raw & Creative Cash, founder of Creative Cash Academy. 👤 Host: Eric Lindsay — Moonlight Real Estate Syndication Show (built for people with a W-2 or full-time business). 💡 What Bill Actually Did (and Why He Says Don’t Copy It) ✈️ Started as a pilot out of school, read books, and bought a duplex as his first deal. 💵 Duplex cash-flowed ~$300/month; he had ~$10k saved and quit his aviation job. 🧑‍🍼 At 28, with no kids and no real debt, he still lived on every penny from the duplex—repairs were hard. ⚠️ Advice: Don’t quit your job because a guru said a duplex/fourplex can replace your income. He wouldn’t recommend doing what he did. 🧮 Underwriting the Smart Way (Back-of-Napkin First) 📄 Get the T-12 (month-by-month P&L) or recreate it. 🧰 Use a template; start with the seller’s asking price just to see if you’re in the ballpark. 🏦 Quick loan plug-ins he used “today”: 25% down, ~6.5% interest, 25-year amortization. 📊 Target DSCR ≈ 1.25. If you’re below that, either pay less or borrow less. ⏱️ Spend ~10 minutes to get a go/no-go before deep dives. 🧱 “Actuals” vs “Pro Forma” & What’s Real Value-Add 🧯 Only buying on actuals can make you miss true value-add; calling everything value-add leads to buying garbage. 📉 Rent growth is low to flat in many places—don’t assume tenants can cover underwriting mistakes. 🧪 Example he gave: 60%-occupied asset in a 95%-occupied area with abandoned operations—a case where pro forma made sense. 📈 Where Bill Is Now & His Market View 🏁 Built about 1,000 units, then sold everything ~2 years ago (before rates climbed). 🔎 Deal flow is limited, but he expects distressed sellers/properties to create opportunity. 🧭 If you own now: try to hold; “not a great time to sell.” 🎯 If you’re new: study and get ready—opportunities are coming. 🧠 Creative Financing (Use Carefully) 📝 Two main tools: seller financing (requires clear title) and master lease options. ⚖️ Subject-to/wraps are much riskier on consumer homes; in Florida, missing a payment on a homeowner subject-to can be a first-degree felony. 🏦 Lenders usually won’t allow 100% financing via big seller carries/undisclosed seconds; adding a second after closing without consent is often a loan violation. 📚 Books mentioned: Creative Cash (creative financing) & Real Estate Raw (how to buy multifamily). 🎯 Action Steps — Tailored to You For Active Investors (W-2 or Business Owners) 💼🔧 ✅ Start with what you can personally borrow and translate that into units in your market. 🧮 Run the 10-minute DSCR check (≈1.25) with 25% down / ~6.5% / 25-yr am as a baseline. 🚫 Don’t overpay and expect rent hikes to bail you out. 🧱 Be picky: true value-add is operationally fixable in a strong area—not “distressed = value-add.” For Passive Investors (LPs) 💤💸 🕵️ Vet operators who underwrite with T-12s, talk DSCR, and avoid “raise rents and pray.” 🧪 Be skeptical of blanket “value-add” claims—Bill noted cases where LPs lost money when plans weren’t executed. 📚 Ask about debt terms, down payment, and whether lender rules allow any creative structure being pitched.

    ️ Successfully Buying 116 Units While Serving in the Military — with David Pere 🇺🇸🏘️

    Intro Summary David Pere proves you don’t have to give up your career or business to build serious wealth in real estate. While serving full-time in the U.S. Marine Corps, he built a 116-door portfolio in just over six years—starting with a simple house hack and strategically scaling into multifamily and boutique hotels. He’s mastered the art of investing on the side, using systems, partnerships, and smart financing to free up time while compounding wealth. 🔍 Things Discussed Starting Small, Scaling Smart 🏠➡️🏢 • How David bought his first duplex while on active duty, then replicated the process into 116 units. • Why house hacking is one of the most powerful starter moves for high-income earners who want to learn operations with minimal risk. • Leveraging a W-2 or consistent business income as a “financing cheat code” to qualify for better loans and terms. Finding Deals Without Quitting Your Job 🔎 • How David used handwritten letters during 24-hour duty shifts to land off-market properties. • Transitioning from deal-hunting to capital raising and partnerships as his portfolio grew. • The importance of surrounding yourself with a trusted operator team early on. Risk Management for Busy Professionals ⚖️ • Always keep cash reserves—real estate isn’t passive without preparation. • Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) so issues are spotted and fixed quickly. • Partnering with experts to avoid costly beginner mistakes. 🚀📈 How to Scale While Running a Business or Working Full-Time Time block your week—dedicate 60–90 minutes daily and one longer session on weekends. Leverage your primary income to secure financing and buy quality assets. Hire early—property managers, VAs, and contractors who handle day-to-day operations. Network intentionally—capital and deals flow to those who share what they’re doing. ⚖️ How David Balanced Military Life, Family & Real Estate • Treated investing like a second business without letting it interfere with family time. • Outsourced non-core tasks so he could focus on high-value decisions only. • Kept weekends protected for family, with business handled during scheduled work blocks. 🔑 David’s Current Focus: Strategic Growth in 2025 • Targeting boutique hotels in high-tourism markets with untapped revenue potential. • Conservative underwriting with multiple income streams per property. • Mentoring other professionals through his War Room Mastermind to replicate his success. ⭐ Key Takeaways for High-Income Earners & Business Owners New to Real Estate 💰 Use your existing income as leverage—don’t rush to quit. Start with low-risk learning through house hacking or small multifamily. Systematize early so your business or career isn’t disrupted. Focus on cash flow & appreciation—choose markets with both. Think like an investor from Day 1—plan your exit or refinance strategy before you buy.
