Peter Kolat has the enviable talent of being an expert Internet marketer on top of being a real estate investor. He’s been consulting for many real estate gurus in the real estate industry. When it comes to real estate investing, he has extensive experience in commercial, residential, and development investing.

As a marketer, Peter Kolat is considered an expert in Internet marketing and social media marketing. His Free Internet Marketing Techniques helped many real estate investors & agents dominate their real estate markets on the internet. No wonder he’s been called the “Polish Pulverizer.”

Polish Peter was born in Poland in what he believes is one of the most beautiful cities called Zakopane. During his early childhood, he lived in a 14’X14′ room which was his bedroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room. The bathroom was a community restroom down the hall. Yes, that was a lot of fun.

Peter immigrated to the United States when he was 14 years old and did not speak any English. One of his earliest English language struggles was: “Am I Polish (nationality) or polish (state of being polished).” Yeah, that was fun as well.

By the way, not sure if you know this but money grows on trees in the US, palm trees are everywhere, beautiful high skyscrapers and people driving sports cars and loving life. (that was Peter’s perception of US before he came here).

And then I ended up in a small town right smack in the middle of Detroit! Imagine his surprise!

Fast forward to where he is today…

Peter lives in a beautiful suburb, about 30 minutes north of Detroit. He owns his own consulting and business growth company that works with high 6 figure and 7 figure businesses in about 16 different industries. A few years ago, Peter was featured in a Fast Company magazine as one of the “Top 100 most influential people on the internet.”

But what keeps him getting up in the morning is the fact that he can help people, that he can have an impact on someone’s life, that he can give them that gift of having that “aha” moment, that moment in their life that sparks something new, that drives them to a new way of living, that gives them that hope, that gives them that new life in their business, their family, their life…

And that’s why he started Immigrant Masters Unite, a podcast for immigrant business owners and entrepreneurs. It all started as interviews, talks with other successful immigrants to share their success stories, their trials, their so-called “insider secrets” to help you, to have an impact on your life!

And as they say, the rest is history…

On a more personal note…

Peter has 3 amazing kids (as of writing this, they are 13, 9 and 8 – a girl and 2 boys) which he loves, adores, and after God, always come first. His other love is the Detroit Red Wings (been a huge fan since he came here in the States in ’91), skiing, hockey, soccer, reading amazing books, working out at the gym and coaching/helping others. He also sits on a board for an amazing nonprofit called CARE of Southeast Michigan and after you listen to his podcast, you’ll know why.

What you’ll learn about in this episode:

Don Costa is a married father of 3. He has been in the house flipping game since 2003. He almost lost everything in the crash and he rebuilt his business in 2012. His company currently does around 100 homes a year.

Don started flipping houses when he was unemployed. The unemployment check only covered his living expenses and so he had to find a way to find deals, get funding for them and to fix them so that he could sell them and profit.

He got a notice of default list and began going door to door to try to buy houses from the people about to face foreclosure.

To buy and fix up the houses, he worked out a deal with a money partner to joint venture. The money partner would put up the funds. He would find the deals and manage the fix-up and they would split the profits 50/50.

Not all deals are 50/50, we discuss some of the other terms investors use and how those are determined. Basically, the more value you bring to the table for the joint venture, the more you should make out of the deal. If you are finding incredible deals, managing the rehabs and getting them sold, shouldn’t you be asking for a 60/40 split? Heck yes.

Don didn’t have money to make monthly payments to hard money and private money lenders. He didn’t have money to spend on rehabs before getting draws from lenders. He had to joint venture.

He still joint ventures to this day. The reason is that he always wants to do as many deals as he can. Joint venturing allows him to be able to do that.
