Listen Later

Is your corporate job getting old? Is the rat race driving you crazy? Today’s guest, Daniil Kleyman had a successful career in the financial industry but was not happy with his life. The 8 to 5, the corporate politics, the stresses that came with the job, it was all too much for him and didn’t provide the life he wanted. When a shift in the company caused him to be laid off, it was the kick in the pants he needed to get out on his own. He started real estate investing and the rest is history. Now he has a 10 million dollar real estate portfolio and is developing properties through new construction. Hear his amazing story on this episode.

 

It only took 2 years of real estate investing to replace his corporate income.

 

That’s an amazing accomplishment for anyone, and Daniil Kleyman did it. But he’s quick to mention that some of the reason is because of the way the real estate markets were at the time. The crash had just occurred and he was able to buy properties far cheaper than ever before so he had the opportunity to get into the game with a small amount of cash. His strategy was to buy properties, fix them up, fill them with tenants, then refinance the property based on the higher equity value, and do it all again with a new property. It as a strategy that worked for him, to the tune of an eventual $10,000,00. Find out more about this strategy on this edition of Invest Four More.

 

New construction over existing properties.

 

Daniil Kleyman has moved forward in his real estate investment career to the point that he’s actually becoming a developer. He would prefer to build new properties over buying existing properties any day. Why? Because he thinks there are far less variables and headaches building a property from scratch than trying to rehab an existing property. The three things he cautions about are zoning issues, utilities, and foundations. Learn all you can about how your local municipalities handle those issues and you’ll be fine. Want to become a developer? Hear Daniil’s story on this edition.

 

Finding the right subcontractors for your new construction project is key.

 

As with any real estate project, the subcontractors who work on your projects are key to keeping budgets, timelines, and quality of the work to the levels you desire. Daniil Kleyman has found that it works best if he is the general contractor and then finds and oversees quality subcontractors for the specific areas he needs: plumbing, electrical, drywall, etc. That way he knows that each aspect of the project is being done professionally, but he’s able to keep his finger on the pulse of the overall project and push the deadlines as needed. It’s am amazing skill set this guy has developed. Listen in to hear how he got there.
