Flipping America

Today we are going to talk about flipping houses. A profitable house flipping business is always going to be about the numbers. Learn your numbers, know your numbers, use the numbers until they become second nature. This is a topic people pay me big money to teach them, but I’m going to share quite a bit of it with you today. And it’s yours at no cost or obligation simply because you took time to listen to the show. Long-time listeners will know that I do this from time to time. Sprinkled over the past 414 hours of Flipping America shows is probably all the real estate education you’ll ever need.

• Sanjay, Fort Worth, TX “I’m hoping to join the Buyers Club if you will let me in. Is there a limit to how many houses I can buy?”
• Cary, Arlington, VA “It’s tough to find deals here right now. Wholesalers and banks are asking too much. Is it like this where you are? If so, what’s a fix and flip investor to do?”

Today we will continue and conclude our conversation with Damion Lupo regarding the eQRP. If you missed the previous episode, you may want to go back and listen for a couple of reasons. 1. We introduce, define and describe the eQRP, but 2. As a lead in to the discussion, Damion and I talked for a few moments about business failure and the challenges we both have face in our investing careers. It was a candid moment and many have written in or called to tell us how powerful the impact of this frank conversation has been in their own lives. It was totally unplanned - like most of life's best moments, right?

Later on I will introduce you to my new friend Mark Willis, a certified financial planner out of Chicago and we will continue a conversation about money with a few unique twists. I'm very impressed with Mark and we are going to get him back for a longer conversation in the near future.

When it comes to retirement accounts there is a language and set of acronyms that rival any other business out there. You have a myriad of choices - you are blessed with dozens of options and opportunities within those options. It can be complicated and confusing. Some will say "I prefer to keep it simple" and then proceed on a plan to own ten rental houses - The end. That can work, but you will be paying more in taxes, living on less, and will have missed a lot of opportunity on the way. Today I'm speaking with Damion Lupo who is going to turbo-charge your retirement plans and along the way he might just set your imagination on fire. There's nothing like planning ahead, right?

Ultimate Flexibility, Control & Protection to optimize your investments.

Get ready to accelerate your returns 10X faster than a traditional 401(k) plan or Self-Directed IRA!

Enjoy the widest range of alternative investment options available. Get the freedom and security of total Checkbook Control.

Rollover your 401(k), IRA, SDIRA, 403b, 457, TSP and Solo 401(k)s into your eQRP® account

But perhaps the most astounding part of this call is what we did not plan to spend a lot of time on - recovering from a business failure. Damion has an amazing story to share and I bet you will be encouraged and inspired when you hear this. And it's coming up in a few minutes.

Real estate investing takes two or three things to work well. The first thing is a value-add property. The next is your ingenuity and effort. The third thing is usually the money to do the deal. That seems to be the hardest part, but if you have the right kind of deal, it can be very easy to get. They call it hard money but not because the loan is hard. It's because the loan is made using the hard asset as collateral. The loan depends primarily on the current and future value of the property. And the loan is often made not based on creditworthiness of the borrower but by the confidence the lender has in the borrower to get that property into a condition that would bring the future value.

You'll hear all about it today with our friends from Bay Mountain Capital, Will Dyer and Wayne Corley. That's coming up in just a few minutes.

Today our guest Lane Kawaoka tells us how to invest in large stabilized deals without having to do a thing!

Get diversification: Many commercial real estate investments have high acquisition prices (think $10M+) to which most people don't have access. Lane says you want to get away from Mom and Pop investments like 1-40 units. 1-40 unit deals typically have pricing issues because all the amateurs are involved and the deals that look good from a per unit price perspective are usually under 80% occupied and have ISSUES. Investing passively in a group can allow you to invest in multiple asset classes (apartment/mobile home/assisted living), in multiple locations and with varying business plan duration.

Investing passively allows one to avoid being exposed to credit or liability risk. No W2 documented income no problem! You do not need to personally guarantee multi-million dollar loans and be the fall guy.

The goal of a Limited Partnership syndication investor is to create a "ladder" of investment that creates accumulated cash flow and cash out at different times. It's like your grandpa's CD ladder strategy but with 10-30x returns.

You can get all the depreciation benefits of single family home investors but with cost segregation on larger properties it gets even better! Bigger deals are able to pay for a cost segregation to squeeze out even more depreciation.

Invest in real estate without getting your hands dirty. Utilize a simple set of specific wealth building strategies for tax, legal, investment, that most people do not have access to and do not know about.

My real estate career is like a Dickens novel. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. And the quality of those times has always been dictated by the quality of contractors I have used. A good contractor makes this business pretty easy. A bad one will create one challenge after another. Today's show is a talk I delivered to the Flipping America REIA about how to find and Vet Contractors. Use this information to do a better job of hiring and avoid heartache, headache, and difficulties.
