So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations.

Would you pursue your gifts and talents and dreams? Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church. You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursuing your gifts and talents and dreams to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing.

The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do. That is the problem, and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to.

That is a solution and this podcast will show you how...

Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to another awesome episode of the cashflow dad live podcast. My name is Ryan Anker, your host. And today I'm going to tell you guys what mooning Aqap in high school taught me about real estate negotiations. So here's what happened where, you know, it's like a Friday night, either junior or senior year of high school, I'm not sure.

And we're out there driving on the interstate and this truck just starts tailgating us, like coming really close to our bumper.

And so my friends were like, man, this truck is really close. Um, somebody should moon them. And I was like, no, we shouldn't. Okay, I will.

And so, uh, I moved away at this guy in this truck, whoever it is, and we, you know, I do my thing, pull up my pants sitting there and he's still tailgating us and we're kind of laughing about it...

And then we get off the interstate and as we get off the interstate, the guy follows us off the interstate. So we're like, oh crap, maybe this wasn't just a one and done thing. Maybe this guy is going to keep following us. So we got to lose them. Well, as we exit the interstate, we see three cop cars waiting at the exit right there.

And so at this point we're like, Huh, I wonder what happened there. I wonder who died, you know, it's a small town. Uh, it was a smaller town back then than it is now. And uh, and so the cops don't have or didn't have a whole lot to do on a Friday night. So I guess they were looking for something to do.

So there's three cop cars waiting at the edge of the interstate and we're like, huh, wonder what, what the deal is there...

So we pull off the interstate and onto another road and all the cops turn on their lights and they pull us over. So at this point I'm like, crap, I wonder if that guy in the truck called the cops. So I tell my buddies, I'm like, look guys, whatever this jerk. And the truck says I didn't move them. Okay, y'all got to get my back on this one.

So we get out the car, the cops, you know, of course they're just messing with us. And so the cop gets on the, on the loudspeakers, like the car, put your hands above your head and put your hands on the hood so it makes us get out, put our hands on the hood of the car.

We put our hands on the hood, on the hood of the car and he starts, you know, pat me down and he goes, what do you think you were doing back there?

And I said, back where he goes on the interstate, what were you doing? And I said, I wouldn't do anything. An

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents in dreams? Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church.

You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursue your gifts and talents and drains to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.

That is the problem and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is a solution and this podcast will show you how.

What's up? Everybody? Welcome to another episode of Cash Flow Dad Life. My name is Ryan Enk, your host, and today I'm going to be talking about having the right tools to get started or to beef up your real estate investing. But bear with me today. I had, I had a hell of a morning. My wife and I, we get up every single morning to, uh, to spend time together...

Typically we get up at five. Now that's not always the case. Sometimes the snooze button is hit, but most of the time we get up at five and we make some coffee and we sit down on our couch, look out on the river and we go through a, an acronym called trip.

So when we say what we're thankful for, we reflect on something, some piece of, you know, either it's scripture or it's, you know, I like business success stuff, inspirational videos, reflect on something.

We say, what our intentions are, and then we plan the day. Now sometimes it's not always a trip...

Some that full acronym, the Tri p, sometimes it's just a, you know, just the tr because the kids get up and they wake up.

Well, in this case, you know, we were on our reflection time and our youngest woke up and this kid was off the hook. Today he comes downstairs, we didn't even hear him. All of a sudden he comes over to us while we're praying and he says, Mama Mama match.

He had taken, he had found the matches somehow, which we've already hidden from him from past experiences. He found them in a bag and he dumped them all out on the floor. All right, great. So we go and we start picking up these matches. And it used to be the case that with five kids, it used to be the case that when I heard silence, I was like, Oh yes.

Finally silence. Now when I hear silence, I'm like, Oh crap, what? What is he getting into? Where is he? So we're picking up the matches and all of a sudden I hear silence again. I don't hear him anymore. I'm like, Oh crap, where is he? And she looks up and she has this face of fright. So I'm like John Paul one too, you know, when you count, that's like the magic thing with kids, you know, three.

And then he scurries over. He's like, what? What? You know? And he's, he's basically upstairs emptying out a bottle of soap.

So now we go upstairs. My Wife's picking up the matches, I'm cleaning up this mess with soap and all of a sudden as I'm cleaning up this soap, he comes back into the room where I'm cleaning the soap. And he had got into the baby formula somehow.

Just basically put his paws in it, dump it all

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids, take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents and dreams?

Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church, Pune, you see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursuing your gifts and talents and dreams to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.

That is the problem and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is a solution and this podcast will show you how.

What's up guys, this is Ryan and your host for another awesome episode of Cash Flow Dad Life. And you guys want to hear something funny. I'm actually, if some of you had told me that you watched these episodes or listen to these episodes with your kids, if that's the case, go ahead and press pause and poppier buds in right now because this isn't like a, a, a family friendly episode.

This is, you know, a dad talking to maybe other dads or other people of the, like who might share in some of these same frustrations. So if you're, if you're married, you'll probably understand my pain in this situation.

So I wake up Saturday morning and I look over at my beautiful wife and I think to myself, you know what, a Saturday, I've got nowhere to go. I think I'm going to make a move...

Well, sounds great, but there's just one problem. I've got this two year old cock blocker that snuck into the bed in between us and he's just sitting there watching veggie tales on my wife's phone. And so I think to myself, I've got to get rid of this little chump somehow.

So I pick him up. I'm like, all right, why don't you go, why don't you go watch veggietales in Collin's room, his older brother. So I bring them into condoms room. I give him my wife's phone to go watch veggietales and um, and he's sitting there, he's content.

I say, "Collin, uh, you've got John Paul duty right now, my youngest, my two year old. You've got John Paul duty right now, don't let them out of here." And Collins kind of half asleep. And so he says, okay. And I go back into the room, lock the door.

And I think to myself, it's business time. One minute later I hear a knock on the door, my mind you, India. So I'm like, "Oh God, just just ignore them."

Then I hear again, knock, knock, knock again, "Mama. Where's Mama?" So he says this like five times... "Well Mama..."

So I just, the only thing that I thought he would understand to make them go away because I was running out of the, you know, the way you communicate to a two year old, you know, sometimes you have to say things that uh, don't necessarily make sense to the average person or are even true, but it's just what that two year olds can understand at the time.

So to make them go away, I go, Mommy's making poop on the potty, go watch veggietales. So, so I hear him kind of scurry off...

And I think. Sweet. All right, where was I? Thirty seconds later, my cell phone rings somehow that little piss ant fanned out how to call my cell phon

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents in dreams?

Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church. Can you see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursue your gifts and talents and drains to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.

That is the problem, and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is a solution and this podcast will show you how...

Hey, what's going on everybody. This is Ryan Anc with another awesome episode of Cash Flow Dad Life. And in this episode I'm going to be sharing. I'm going to save you guys a ton of time and maybe some heartache and some energy and save you a ton of money and I'm going to be showing you the top four real estate strategies to avoid if your goal is to have passive income.

So about five years ago we were going, I think we're moving into a new house and I'm at the time we only had four kids were working on that fifth one and I remember the house was next to a little pond and we had seen an alligator in the pond and so I was getting the kids hyped up out is like a little baby alligator. And so I was messing around with them.

I knew that, you know, little baby alligator would do anything to him, but I thought it was kind of funny...

We arrived at the house and I'm like, what do you know? All right, well where's this alley? I was like, well, we got to find them. So I was like, all right, all four of you go start running in that direction around the pond run. Do a perimeter around the entire pond. Just to make sure there's no alligators out there.

And so all four of them start bolting and running right away. They just, they just followed my orders right away, didn't even think twice about it and started running it except the second one, the second oldest stops and he's, he was the only one to stop. And he goes, wait a minute, why us?

Why are we the first one's going to go check out to see if there's an alligator, this life threatening animal, you know, around the pond? And that's what a lot of people are like with real estate.

You're like, alright, um, you know, there's, there's passive income out there and real estate. And uh, I know that there is some strategies out there. And then someone comes along and they're like, all right, you're great. You're, you're interested in real estate, great.

Go run in this direction.

And most people just start running without even thinking twice, like, wait a minute, why am I doing that strategy when there are other strategies out there that are way better than that, that create passive income. Okay? So here, here are the main things.

Okay, here are the main things that people get started with...

Number one, a, when people get started with real estate or they they want to start making passive income, they say, all right, well why don't I just become a realtor? It is actually what I did when I was teaching before the hurricane hit, I was like, I need some more money, some sort of way.

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids, take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents in dreams?

Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church. You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was, pursue your gifts and talents and drains to serve others. And that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.

That is the problem. And the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income. So you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is a solution. And this podcast will show you how.

Ryan Enk: What's going on everybody? This is Ryan Enk with cashflow dad life coming at you with another episode. We've got an amazing guest on a probably one of the most impressive people that I can think of. He's a great teacher.

Rob Reynolds: Okay.

Ryan Enk: Let me start off by...Actually, we have similar stories except I didn't have the level of success that you have, but he went from teacher cranked out a bunch of kids, was like, crap, I need to find a way to provide for my family. He's got some credit lines and bought two, four plexes and now owns a company, Avesta, that owns one point, one $3 billion in assets and a which in a pretty amazing feat.

So guys were on the line here with an absolute, a Trojan. I don't know if that's the right word. I just, Trojan just came to mind. I don't even know why. It's like a, like a tycoon real estate tycoon.

Robert Reynolds, I want to see if you're there and on the line and if you can hear me. All right.

Robert Reynolds: Okay. Thanks a lot Ryan. Thanks for having me. And yeah man, alls, alls a clear. I was also thrown off by that Trojan comment.

Ryan Enk: I wasn't, I wasn't sure what to say after that. I was like, Trojan or I dunno, I dunno, I threw myself off. Sorry about that. Can you kind of walk us through your, you actually have a really incredible story and as a husband, how many kids you have now?

Robert Reynolds: I have six daughters

Ryan Enk:.. and completely opposite of me. I don't know how to make girls. And you don't know how to make a penis...

Robert Reynolds: Yeah, I guess I don't have any y chromosomes. I'm not sure, man. I kind of hold to the fact that my, I think my wife must be killing all the y chromosomes and in utero. So...

Ryan Enk: Don't let her around my wife because she might share some secrets. I don't have a wedding to pay for right now. Six of them, unless they all go to the combine, which is, you know...

Robert Reynolds: Hopefully a tradition changes with that whole, uh, bride's family paying for the wedding...

Ryan Enk: Haha! Good luck. Good luck between now and the time they get married...

So can you kinda walk us through like, so you're a teacher, you've got, you've got a couple of kids and probably like most teachers, you're thinking, man, this isn't, this just isn't going to make things, it's just not going to make ends meet. Sure.

Robert Reynolds: Yeah. And you know, my, my wife Maria, she was kind of the mentality of "He

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids, take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents in dreams?

Hey, what's going on everybody. This is Ryan with Cash Flow Dad Life. And uh, we have a special guest on with us today. A gentleman by the name of Anton and Anton is a real estate investor and an entrepreneur. He's got it over 35 units. I think you're generating over $10,000 a month in cash flow right now.

He's also the founder of a very helpful and successful software called deal check and that is, it's used by over 50,000 real estate investors to help them quickly analyze a deal and to analyze the deals on the go and compare different investment properties. I just want to make sure everything's working. Anton, you there? I am here. Awesome. Awesome.

So real quick, can you just give us your backstory. I mean, you've, you've had a lot of success, real estate, uh, doing a lot of different things. But you kinda stumbled across real estate by accident a little bit. Can you tell us a little bit about how that happened?

Anton Ivanov: Uh, sure. So I'm kind of... right out. After high school I joined the military, so I joined active duty in the US navy and I was actually stationed in Japan, and one of the navy ships and unfortunately in 2008, 2010 right around that time, uh, both of my parents passed away, uh, and they owned a single property in southern California, was a condo where they lived and you know, that I'm passing.

I basically inherited this property, and so to speak became an accidental landlord. So definitely not something I was planning on. It was kind of a sudden a event in my life and um, you know, me out there living in Japan, um, and, you know, this property being in southern California, I never owned property before my life prior to that. So I wasn't sure what to do with it.

I thought about selling it at first because that kind of seemed the easy route. But I've talked to a few people, they kind of convinced me, hey, why don't you rent it out? So good rental market there, see how it goes, you know, and, and then you can always sell it later.

So that's actually what I did. I kept it and I'm very happy now that I did and that basically became my first rental property even though I didn't buy it, but it did give me a lot of experience being a landlord, you know.

Kinda taught me the basics about tenant management and dealing with maintenance issues and working with the property manager who I obviously had to use because I didn't live there, uh, and kind of gave me that first taste of also out of state or even out of the country for me at the time, a property management and kind of managing a rental portfolio.

So I'd say that kinda was the foundation and the first step or at least the first experience for me with a, with the real estate.

Ryan Enk:Yeah.

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids, take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents and dreams?

Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church. You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursuing your gifts and talents and dreams to serve others. And that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.

That is the problem...

And the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is the solution. And this podcast will show you how.

What's up guys? This is Ryan Ankle cashflow, dad life, your humble host. And, uh, if you hear a little background noise is because I'm on the road right now. I am a, I'm actually taking my family on an rv trip.

We're going down to key West in Florida for a nice little vacay with something we do a couple of times a year.

We try to take the RV somewhere and it's just a great time, you know, family bonding time with the kids and the wife. And, and, uh, sometimes we go with friends too, so it's a, it's just a good time. So I apologize for the background noise, but everybody's asleep right now.

So I just thought of the perfect time to bang out a podcast and this podcast is actually going to be about RVs. Now, a lot of people don't know this, but rvs are like an incredible source of generating very quick cashflow and longterm wealth as well.

I've talked in the past about different strategies in real estate that being a quick nickel, slow dime and I talked about scalable strategy, something that you can do over and over again without using your own money.

And this is something you could do with rvs...

It's actually an incredible way to develop passive income. In fact, I was able to, within 12 months, I was able to develop over $100,000 in passive income by renting out Rvs, not just my rv, but using other are, uh, other people's rvs to do it. And there's actually people out there, I've gone, I've actually kind of immersed myself in this world.

So there's producers out there that are making well over six figures!...

I know guy in Michigan who's making $360,000, guys in California was making over a million a year, uh, no guy in Las Vegas who's making over a million a year.

And it's basically taking advantage of the short term rental market. This is something that we've talked about in podcasts in the past. How they're, uh, the short term rental market is incredibly hot, especially the peer to peer market.

Places like Airbnb, Brbo no, they're kind of taken over that short term rental industry. And people are traveling different, they're being more creative, they like different experiences. And it's the same way with Rvs, people are now a, rvs are just kind of exploding in growth.

And every year, like Warren Buffet has just invested a ton of money in rvs and, and every year they break the sales record for rvs.

So more and more people are wanting to travel this way, uh, they use them for Nascar, they use them

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account. What would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents and dreams? Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church community.

You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursuing your gifts and talents and dreams to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing.

Hey, what's up guys? This is Ryan Enk and This is Cash Flow Dad Life. Welcome to another episode.

This is going to be one of the best episodes you've ever heard in your life. It's going to be a life changing episode because I'm going to give you the three secrets on how you can quit your job in 12 months or less with this very specific real estate investing strategy and how you can get started even if you don't have a ton of money.

This is something that I've done in less than 12 months and this is something that I've coached many others to do.

It's something that definitely can happen. People ask all the time, does this really work? Yes, it works.

You could do it in less than 12 months if you're super motivated to get out of the rat race and get out of your job and you're and you're at the point where like, I just need to.

I just need to do something to get out. I've had people do it in as little as two months. Okay, so you're going to want to listen to and absorb this information. Maybe even play it back when you're around a pen and paper because I'm going to give you guys a lot of awesome tips and tricks. Now, there is three essential things that you need. Okay? If you have all three of these things, then you will be able to do it. Okay?

You'll be able to develop enough passive income to replace your monthly expenses. And once you do that, we consider you financially free. Okay?

We consider you out of the rat race...

But if you miss any one of these three things, then you will not be able to do it. Okay? So stick with me and I will show you what these three things are.

Now, I don't know if any of you guys have kids. Um, I've got five kids kids, uh, as I've said before in the podcast and whenever we go to a friend's house, it's like the kids are, um, they automatically of course go to their friends play room and it's like they go into product test mode. So they take everything out, they mess with it for a couple seconds, then they move on to the next product, right?

Uh, the next toy and what happens is when it's time to leave, there is just a crapload of toys all over the floor. And we, out of courtesy, we always tell our kids, all right, we're leaving. It's time to pick up. And of course, uh, you know, when you say it's time to pick up, this one's complaining that he's got a dead leg.

The other ones, they, he's got to take a deuce.

The other ones developed the case of Jock itch and he's got to go tell mom about it and it's private and all of a sudden they'

We were both members of this health club and my friend Joe, he likes to go and work out. And then he goes and he swims while I get a call from my friend Peter. And he says, uh, well first I get a call and I ignore it because I'm in the doctor's office, and then I get a text phone and says, you need to call me asap.

This is an emergency...

And I said, okay. So I was literally getting checked on by the doctor as I called them. And I was like, all right, what's up, Peter? What? You know, what happened?

And he goes, Joe a sank to the bottom of the pool. And, uh, we think he drowned. I saw Joe, who I know a lot of these, like Joe Thompson. And I was like, Joe Thompson, senior, his son.

He was like, no, Joe Thompson, our friend, Joe Thompson, uh, this is my friend...

He's, he's a husband and father of five kids. He's been my business partner. Uh, he's, he's a, he's a lot of things, you know, in my life. And we met each other in college and uh, and so my heart immediately sank. And I said, what do you mean he drowned?

He was like, well, he still has a heartbeat and he's, but he's snoring breathing. And now my friend Peter is a, a, a, a, a veterinarian, so he's got some medical background and so he's like, it's just, you know, his, he actually bit down on his tongue because, you know, he either seized up and he bit a part of his tongue off and he's like, he's like, they're shipping them to the emergency room right now.
