In today’s solo episode, Axel describes his new full on construction project and walks you step by step through the whole development process from scratch up to date. 

Learning from the experience of others can help you identify potential pitfalls and can provide you with strategies and knowledge you might not otherwise have. 

Axel’s goal is to house families so they can create memories. He wants to develop a couple of one hundred units and build an entire neighborhood. But in order to go big, he thinks he should first go small. It is the key to gain experience and understand how the development process works.

He dives deep into how he got hold of this project and the favorable agreements he reached with the seller, the importance of having a project already approved and what core documentation and evaluation is needed to be able to get started on a new project. Additionally Axel talks about the soft cost opposed to the construction cost, why it is crucial to build a team of professionals and who are the ones you need fit for your project. 

If you want to understand and learn more about the development process, STAY TUNED! Once a week or once every two weeks, Axel will be sharing and giving an update on his project.

Getting into real estate sounds like an easy way to make money, right? They are buying, flipping, and selling houses all the time and you start to wonder if you can do that too. But, let me ask you something, how many times have you gotten into your car and started driving and driving and driving, without a destination? How do you know if you are going the right way or the wrong way?

You need a destination!

In the real estate world, you will make wrong turns and mistakes and there will be tough times waiting for you on the horizon. But if you come to this world with a clear destination of where you want to go in your mind, and you are actively searching for all the tools that will help you get there, you will actually have a shot in the real estate world. Steve Rozenberg, our guest today, created the fastest growing property management company in the state of Texas. He manages over 1000 properties across 3 major metropolitan cities. With this kind of resume, you would not think that Steve was an international commercial airline pilot, who, after the tragedies of 9/11, realized that his career was nowhere safe and secure as he had predicted.

On today's show, Steve shares the amazing mindset that allowed him to pivot from pilot to real estate mastermind. Steve shares all the golden nuggets about running a business, the ins and outs of the real estate world, and the importance of being proactive and outsourcing in your business.
