Getting started in real estate is often thought of as buying that first property and doing it all on your own.

But real estate investing entails many facets but that doesn’t mean you have to do it all yourself. You can always focus on what you are good at and outsource the rest.

Managing this business requires people with different skill sets suitable for the many aspects involved. The skills you have in networking and building relationships will come in handy. Additionally, there are tools, apps, and software available to make communication more efficient.

In this episode, Isaiah Henry shares how he manages his real estate investing business, especially when it comes to BRRR projects, without being physically present on site. Hear about his tools and resources for automating systems and creating efficient processes.

He shares his story about how coaching and mentorship helped him grow personally and professionally and how the fear of risk stops people from getting into real estate. However, he offers a very insightful viewpoint. You have to dig it.

Finally, find out how he gives back to the community as he grows his business.

Abby Soetan started investing in real estate in 2020 after reading a book about a couple who flipped houses for a living. She thought to herself, "If they can do it, so can I!". 2 weeks later, she had her first property under contract.

When she started sharing her journey, she did so because she wanted to show other women who looked like her that it was okay to be in this space - and that we can succeed at it too!

Since buying her 1st property, it's been a fun (and sometimes scary) journey, but she picked up many lessons and loved every step of the way.

Her goal for real estate is to develop herself & other people on her journey to building wealth!

Key Takeaways:

"Buy low, sell high. That was kind of my strategy." - Abby Soetan

"If I just kept waiting and thinking for the market to go down. Or, if I had used my lack of knowledge or experience to say I can't do this, I would never have learned so much. Not even just the financial gain but the mental gain as well." - Abby Soetan

"If you're working with any partner, even if it's not someone you're married to and both of you decide to do some work together, it's vital to know each other's strengths, and also each other's methods and give each other the room to do what they can do best." - Abby Soetan

"What's the worst that can happen [when it comes to design]? If it doesn't look good, you start again." - Abby Soetan

"When you're thinking of arbitrage, all you're considering is like your first and last month rent and your furnishing costs versus a property that you own, which is the downpayment, the closing costs, all the legal fees, and then your furnishing costs as well." - Abby Soetan

"Scaling is, I believe, a factor of time and money. It's very important to understand your limits, so I guess that leads me to the Power Team because having a contractor is essential." - Abby Soetan

“House hacking was the best option, just because it was a balance between saving and not wanting to be so much in debt, and still having an ownership aspect and building wealth that way.” - Phylicia Walsh

“The first property doesn't have to be perfect [turnkey property that needs renovation]. I don't think people realize how inexpensive it is to actually fix these things and increase the value of your property. It's one mistake that I see a lot of people make, and I wish people could kind of have that foresight to see more value in these homes.” - Phylicia Walsh

“I'm not gonna say it's a crash right now. I will say we are definitely seeing a market correction. And I don't think it's over yet.” - Phylicia Walsh

“Understand what to look for when you're looking for a property that maybe you want to convert into a second suite. Sometimes you just got to take the leap, and you do the learning along the way. It might be a little bit more costly, but you're taking action, which is the most important.” - Mike Allicock

“With every correction comes opportunity. This is why it's so important to run your numbers properly and account for risk.”- Mike Allicock

“A lot of it comes down to mindset. As a first-time buyer, if you truly want to get in, have your goal in place as to why you want to get a house. What the true long-term future goal is because there's more to real estate than just owning a house.” - Mike Allicock

Key Takeaways:

"I think it's important to have that mindset where it's like, if one door closes, you're going to figure out how you'll get it done another way." - Thia Velinor

"You can only learn so much info. A lot of the learning comes from the action components -- the doing." - Thia Velinor

"I got my first 17 doors without putting any money. All I did was find the deal." - Thia Velinor

"I would encourage people to get great at recognizing what a great deal is. Once you are able to do that, now you're in front of people who want to talk to you about the deals." - Thia Velinor

"People really underestimate the power of starting with wholesaling. There are just so many good skills that you get out of that. Leverage it and get doors with no money at all." - Thia Velinor

"You only have so much money; the bank will only lend you so much, you know. It's imperative to speak to people and try to figure out how we can create that win-win; not always you trying to get something from that person. It's like, what can we do together? Like, how can we build together?" - Thia Velinor

"Speak to people and just do it properly. You can figure it out by yourself. And it might take you a few years, or you can invest a few bucks and get there in a few months. You know It's not an overnight success story by any means." - Thia Velinor

"If you stick with it and build those fundamental skills that you need to go far in the business and not just with wholesaling. Once you have that down, you're good to go. But the main thing, invest in yourself, by all means." - Thia Velinor

"I see the value [of mentorship], and it taught me a lot. It also put me in the circles I needed to be in." - Thia Velinor

"When you pay for your friends, the conversations are different. Your mindset changes. Your outlook is going to be different. So, pay for your friends!" - Thia Velinor

Key Takeaways:

"That's why I advocate for mentorship because once you start immersing yourself in a new community, in a new group, a few things happen, and you change your reality." - Donalta Hall

"I want people to know that they can do it. But don't do it on your own. Everything is harder when you're doing it by yourself." - Donalta Hall

"You can't do everything yourself. One of the things I do is invest in multiple markets, and I have teams in each market." - Donalta Hall

"If you want to get started and don't have a lot of capital and resources, there are still affordable markets. I'm a believer in small multi-units if you can. One thing that makes a difference for me is that we have a secondary suite in our primary residence, and we rent that on Airbnb. That's one thing you can do to become financially free." - Donalta Hall

“Going into a recession, it's always a good idea as a lot of my mentors have taught me that the popular idea is to go into buy and hold for a few reasons. As people can't afford their homes. As an investor, you got to pick that up at a lower price.” - Donalta Hall

“Large multifamily tends to do really well in a recession. But that still holds true for single family homes, if you buy it at a good price, and are able to rent it out.” - Donalta Hall

If we are gripped by fear, lack of knowledge, and limiting beliefs, it is hard to find a way out. We will always end up working nine to five. This means trading time for money and sacrificing social life and family time if the work requires it.

Remaining in one's safety box will not lead to wealth creation. One must jump out, stretch oneself and make things happen. Otherwise, we can only hope for the life we've always wanted without ever achieving it unless we take action.

In this episode, guest Gary Hibbert shares how he approaches his fears as opportunities to deliver his best, network with others, and grow his business. See how changing your perspective and mindset rewards you with breakthroughs.

At the time, he never had enough money to purchase his first property when he started in real estate. Add to the fact that he didn't have all the knowledge about everything early on. And if that's not enough, he also had misses along the way.

But that didn't stop him from pursuing the dream life he wanted, which beats inflation, provides a healthy work-life balance and time freedom, and achieves not only return on investment but also return on time.

How did he do that? It was a matter of mastering his mindset.

What you'll learn from today's episode:

• Find out how to own multiple properties and scale your business even when you don't figure out everything at the start.
• Learn to face your fear; change your perspective, and you'll find yourself delivering your best and open yourself up for more opportunities.
• Discover one effective way of creating a roadmap of what you want to become and where you want to be, manifest it, and do away with shiny object syndrome.

Gary Hibbert is a full-time Real Estate Investor, licensed and award-winning Real Estate Agent, Author, and Educator. In 2008, he made a decision that would be life-changing by purchasing his first investment property. Through hard work and dedication, Gary left the corporate world to become a full-time entrepreneur in 2014. Today, not only does he have a remarkable real estate investing portfolio, and a successful business, but Gary continually inspires the same change in others that transformed his life.

In the beginning, Gary lived pay cheque to pay cheque as many others do. He had been accustomed to the reality that at the end of the month, there was more month than money. Realizing that there must be another way to make ends meet, he became determined to educate himself and make a change. However, at that point, he hadn’t yet realized that by changing his own life, it would enable him to help 100’s of future investors to their path to finding financial freedom. In 2010, Gary launched Smart Home Choice, a company dedicated to educating new and experienced investors through a focus on SMART goals in order to allow them to make informed decisions in their investing strategies. Currently, Smart Home Choice is one of Durham Region’s largest groups of Real Estate Investors and although the company is continually growing, it offers networking, mentoring, and self-improvement opportunities to its members.

In addition to Smart Home Choice, Gary is the owner of a private investment company called Deep Pockets and most recently has joined 4 others in a partnership of ownership of a real estate brokerage; Our Neighbourhood Realty. This gave Gary the courage and platform to initiate his podcast series, Real Talk With Gary. A podcast that focuses on wealth, health and everything in between. Gary attributes his success to his focus on improving his mindset, rather than improving his skillset and most importantly discovering his “why”. He is also dedicated to helping others realize their “why”, because that is the realization that led Gary to where he is today.

"Get into the market, learn it, understand it. You can't sit there and just talk about it from the sidelines. The game is played on the field. Get into it." - Gary Hibbert

Are you a young Canadian who wants to succeed financially?

Then this show is for you.

Meet your hosts, Mario Griffiths and Ron Christopher, both young investors in the early stages of their real estate investing careers. 

As they continue to build their knowledge and experiences, they've quickly realized that there is a lot to learn about real estate investing. 

They definitely don't know it all. They also know this knowledge gap exists for not only themselves but those looking to get started and those looking to take their real estate investment portfolios to the next level. 

This is especially true for those in the black community because in their experience, the topic of investing and even just financial literacy was such a taboo subject in their households and those of many they knew.

But the great thing about real estate investing is that it's highly collaborative. With a solid network and building your knowledge, you can see positive results from making an investment in time and resources. 

Like Ron and Mario, many young people have to deal with a limiting mindset about money, starting at the dinner table. Add to that, exhausting commutes to and from work and all the other challenges of life. 

Good thing these two felt differently enough to not only wish to have more control but also took massive action.

After taking that leap, house-hacking even before knowing what it was, and buying the first property even during a pandemic they are on the way to reaping the benefits now and in the future of investing in real estate.

If this feels familiar to you, the Black Wealth Effect podcast will help you crush those limiting beliefs and fill the financial literacy and knowledge gaps that exist.

It will highlight successful black real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and other allies in the investing space, to really inspire the next generation of real estate investors. 

The main focus is to shift your beliefs to what is possible and give you the clarity to achieve your wealth creation goals through investing.

It's also all about creating value, building a community that fosters growth, and impacts the lives of soon-to-be and existing real estate investors. 

Every two weeks, they will bring you episodes that inspire you to take action.

Give the show a listen, share the Black Wealth Effect podcast with those you think might benefit from the show, and please subscribe so you don’t miss an episode. If you have the time to rate, and give the show a written review it really helps others find the show too - thank you.
