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! For information on attending the live event, please go to realwealthshow.com and then click on Connect and Live Events. If you’re not already a RealWealth member, you’ll need to join, but it’s completely free and takes only a few minutes.    Also a reminder to please subscribe to this podcast if you haven’t already!   Thanks for joining me on the Real Wealth Show!

Find Out How to Avoid Capital Gains Tax on a Property Sale! (Hint: 1031 Exchange)

Are you wondering which real estate asset class will be the most profitable in 2024 and beyond? In this episode, you’ll hear from an expert who began his real estate career right after the Global Financial Crisis or what many of us call the Great Recession in 2010. He worked in New York City with a fund that was acquiring all kinds of distressed assets so he’s had exposure to various real estate strategies, and to my great satisfaction, he sees residential properties as one of the asset classes with the most upside. Let me introduce Christian Gore. He’s the founder and managing partner of G1 Capital Partners, a private equity firm with some $9.5 billion transactions across the US. One of his primary concerns is the outsized demand for affordable housing, and how G1 can help meet that demand so that tenants can afford to live and work near their jobs. One of the metros that he’s focusing on is Dallas and the surrounding markets in Texas. He’s utilizing artificial intelligence tools to compile the kind of data he needs to make informed decisions, and is working on build-to-rent properties as a solution for renters who want an affordable, single-family lifestyle. Built-to-rent is the direction that we are taking at RealWealth. As a member, we can show you how to invest in a brand new property that is built to be a rental. You can find out more at realwealthshow.com. It’s free to join and once you’ve sign up, you can talk to an investment counselor who can point you in the right direction. You can also find out more about property teams working with us at our live event on Saturday, May 4th in San Francisco. Just go to realwealthshow.com and click on Connect and then Live Events.

For many people, investing in real estate is a means to an end. You put money into real estate to earn your way toward financial freedom. But the big benefit is to have more time to do the things that really matter to you. Many investors like to spend more time with their families, but it could be anything that you’re passionate about. In this episode, you’ll hear from a veteran who’s passionate about helping other veterans.   Eric Upchurch is an Army Special Operations veteran with a passion for educating the military community on how to create long-term wealth through real estate investing. While serving our nation, he completed five combat deployments, managed a 27-man squad, and earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science.   Eric has also invested in thousands of multifamily, storage, mobile home park and student housing units as a General Partner over the last decade.

One Man’s Real Estate Mission to End Veteran Homelessness

There's been a lot of debate about the state of the economy and so many questions about where we're headed next. Are we going to see banks tumbling because of commercial loans that can’t be refinanced? Are we headed into a recession because of high interest rates? What's going to happen with the housing market as demand keeps pushing home prices unaffordably higher? Are they ever going to come down?    In this episode, you’ll be getting answers to all those questions and many more from one of my all-time favorite guests, John Chang of Marcus & Millichap. I've been lucky enough to be on his side of the table during debates at the Best Ever Conference, which is coming up, by the way. If you haven't bought a ticket, do it. I'm not being paid to say this. I just love that conference and I will be there. John Chang will also be speaking there and you won't want to miss it. But he's also here with me on the Real Wealth Show.   So here's a little bit about John. He serves as the National Director of Research Services for Marcus and Millichap. He’s become a leading source of market analysis, insight and forecasting, and is responsible for the production of his company’s vast array of commercial real estate publications. They cover all major commercial property types including hotels, industrial, manufactured housing, multifamily, office, medical office, retail multi-tenant, retail single-tenant, self-storage and senior housing.   Join RealWealth for more information and insight about the single-family rental business, and be sure to subscribe to this podcast for some of the best expert interviews on the internet!   Thanks for listening!
