In Part II of my interview with James Eng, the conversation continues about the commercial real estate correction that we’re already starting to see. In this half of the interview, James will dig in a little deeper into how the foreclosure of a $229 Million multifamily Texas portfolio is just the first domino to fall, and what he expects to see in the coming months. James has more than 17 years of experience in commercial real estate lending, and is currently the National Director for Old Capital. He started his career as an underwriter at GE Capital Real Estate and joined Old Capital in 2014. He has worked with hundreds of investors to help them acquire over $1.5 Billion in multifamily properties totaling over 20,000 units nationwide. In addition to financing multifamily, he has invested in over 10,000 units as a limited partner in nearly 40 properties in Texas. Often called "The Professor" of Multifamily Financing, James has produced hundreds of hours of educational multifamily content on YouTube. He received his finance degree from University of Texas at Austin and resides in Dallas-Fort Worth with his wife and three boys.

How You Can Make Better Investing Decisions in a Difficult Economic Environment

Can you imagine saving almost everything you earn and living like a college student for several years just to buy your first home? And then, house hacking your way into more savings so you can invest in real estate? It’s the kind of challenge that some of the most successful real estate investors have accepted, including today’s guest, Joe Fairless. He began with a humble start that mushroomed into success over the last ten years. Joe is the Co-founder of Ashcroft Capital with over $2,700,000,000 of assets under management. He is also the host of the Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever Podcast and the author of  Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book. He and his lovely wife also created Best Ever Causes which has proudly supported 69 different non-profits over the last 65 months. You’ll hear his amazing story in this interview along with some lessons that he learned along the way that can save you a lot of time and expense! He also talks about the multi-family market, which is his preferred asset class, and why owning multi-family now could be very profitable in a couple of years.  If you’d like to find out more about single-family rentals and how they can provide long-term wealth, check in with us at realwealthshow.com.

Joe Fairless: How to Build a Real Estate Empire with Just $20,000 and an Entrepreneurial Mindset!

The buy and hold strategy is a great strategy for real estate investors, but what do you do if your property has increased substantially in value and is no longer giving you a reasonable return on your equity? In other words, if you consider the value of your property today, would it still make sense to rent it out? If not, you may be sitting on a lot of dead equity that could be put to better use. And the best way to do that is by selling the high value property and exchanging it for a better-performing property without paying a capital gains tax on the one you sell. This is what you call a 1031 exchange and is beloved by knowledgeable real estate investors. But there’s a very specific procedure to follow which you’ll find out about in this interview.   You’ll hear from the owner of 1031 Specialists, Jeffrey Bemis, who is now helping RealWealth investors with the 1031 exchange process. Jeff has a lot of experience in finance and real estate. He previously worked for Ernst & Young as a CPA before turning his career toward finance and attaining his CFA title. In 2006, Jeff joined Rimrock Capital Management, a California-based hedge fund with $4 billion dollars under management. He led the less liquid and alternative capital strategies at Rimrock during his 15 years as a portfolio manager which included billions of dollars of investment in commercial real estate transactions. Jeff then left Rimrock but took all his experience with him to start 1031 Specialists which he describes as a tech forward, education first, customer centric company unique in his industry.   You can get in touch with Jeff and his team at this link: https://www.1031specialists.com/?r_id=AK814   You can also meet Jeff in person at our live event in San Francisco on May 4th. He’ll be there to talk to investors about the benefits of the 1031 exchange and how to do it correctly so you don’t end up paying the capital gains tax you are trying to avoid!
