What we talk about today is unique to the show since we've never discussed the oil and gas industry before, but this is NOT one to miss!

We dive into mineral rights and how that plays into real estate transactions and specifically how mineral rights can be an extremely lucrative investment when when done correctly.

If you've always been intrigued with other real estate investment options... This is one I'd pay extra close attention to... Let's jump in!

I found an old newspaper article in one of my antique dressers that showed what the value of real estate was in St. Petersburg, FL in 1946.

Digging a little deeper and looking at what the value of those same properties are today was astounding!

Mike DeHaan started his working life in a typical fashion, going to college and by age 26 was making 6 figures at a cushy corporate job, but he was miserable. After a deep battle with depression at the age of 28 he jumped ship from the corporate world and gave up all his income with no plan and no concrete direction of where to go or what to do. He spent the next 2 years working side jobs, driving for uber, and barely scraping by while trying a medley of different businesses. From ecommerce, dropshipping, marketing, working for a startup, coaching, if you name it he tried it.

His goal was to have a fully location independent business that could not only generate income, but also generate wealth and could be easily grown and scaled with staff and systems. Ultimately this is what led him to becoming an Off Market Real Estate Investor (Wholesaler) beginning January of 2020 by joining a mastermind that gave him the coaching, accountability, and community to commit and take things to the next level.

Two years later, Mike has hired staff and improved his systems to now have 17 staff members and is doing deals in 9 different markets. Their business model now is to keep the best properties they find and wholesale/flip the properties they don't want for the long term. As of now his rental portfolio consists of 48 doors, with an estimated value of just under $10m. He has also completed over 100 deals in the last 2 years and now generates more passive rental income than he used to make in his 6 figure salary. He even achieved his goal of having a location independent business as his company continues to close deals while he regularly travels the country, and the world.

If your goal in real estate investing is to quit your W-2 and go full time in your business, then be sure to tune in today, because today is chock full of golden nuggets of wisdom of how Mike and I were able to go full time in our businesses and ultimately leave Corporate America!

After almost 5 years, I'm officially retired from my W-2 job and am living a financially free lifestyle from my real estate investments.

Our guest today, Warren Dresner brings a variety of experience with him specifically in the institutional space.

They currently have $200M of assets under management and are actively looking to grow their business through further acquisitions in 2022. They focus on purchasing institutional grade multifamily assets, in great markets, sourced, qualified, and managed by an experienced team. They have a strong and consistent track record of delivering results to their investors. They have high standards and they focus on quality in every aspect of their business. As investors themselves, they have been frustrated in the past by lower quality investments, deals that have been purchased "just to get a deal" and poor asset management and investor communication through the life of a project. When they launched their company, they set out to stand-out as operators and to provide investors with better quality alternatives.

Today is no exception to their drive for better quality as today's episode brings the heat!

If you've ever thought that institutional capital is what you'd like to get into, then this is a MUST listen to episode!

Creativity is about to re-enter the the market. Rising cap rates brings more opportunity on the buy side. Holding long term is going to be the new way to buy B and C class assets.

Today we have a really special guest... Amy Sylvis!

Prior to working in multi-family real estate, Amy spent 13 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. She was drawn to the industry because she was able to serve people while they battled serious health challenges.

While traveling on business, she picked up "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and a light bulb went off. She realized that her skillset could serve even more people through multifamily real estate by providing clean, safe, affordable housing to working class families; by providing a powerful and proven investment vehicle for friends and family to participate in; and by pouring profits in to organizations that assist underprivileged and sick children.

After several attempts to crack into the industry on her own because of health challenges, Amy was presented with the opportunity to join Quattro Capital. She is active on the GP and LP side of apartments in Alabama, Indiana, Georgia, and Tennessee and is continuing to grow her portfolio with a goal of achieving the 5 Freedoms in the next couple of years.

Amy lives in Los Angeles with her amazing husband Joel. They love college football, traveling, and volunteering their time with organizations that care for children in need.

Inflation is 9% and rising, absolutely eroding the value of time. It's very important for you to understand what is actually happening here…

1. In 2021 you worked 1880 annual work hours for $100k. Congrats!

2. In 2022 you worked the same 1880 annual work hours but you now only have $91k buying power and lowering

3. In 2023, you work the same hours with even less money for your family

4. Here comes the gut punch... you've also been in the 24% Federal Tax bracket for the last two years so in 2024 your $100K turns into $69k

A 5% raise ain't gonna cut it. Inflation is swallowing it. That means you're spending more time to make less. The working family is paying a HEAVY price. You can't stop inflation but you can fight it and practically eliminate your tax burden.

Tune in to find out how!
