Flipping America

We talk a lot on this show about how to make money in real estate. Today we are going to talk about how to keep it. Wealth Preservation is the topic and this is a multi-pronged approach. It’s not just tax planning, investment planning or just asset protection. It’s an overall strategy to keep more of what you make. 

Our guests, Mark Seither and Josh Saunders say It’s much harder to re-earn a dollar than to make one in the first place. There is plenty of tax code from the 80,000+ pages that people are not using or aware of. 

On this call we will cover these basics in wealth preservation:

• Diversifying taxable income in retirement.
• Leveraging real estate to improve your investments.
• What your investment guy is not telling you about your qualified plan.
• We will discuss 401ks, self-directed Roths, and other retirement strategies. 

Plus we will mention more advanced strategies:

• Accelerated depreciation opportunities to offset your taxes, 
• Roth conversion strategy, with a Roth conversion calculator. 
• Tax efficient legacy plans.

• Atasha, Atlanta, GA,  Thanks for all your great shows!! I am learning so much from the podcasts. I am from Atlanta GA just wanted to know how do I download the show notes.

I frequently say that even though this show is called "Flipping America" we don't encourage everyone to drop what they are doing and start flipping houses like you see on TV, We DO encourage everyone to consider real estate as a balanced part of an investment portfolio. To that end we try to bring you the very best in information, inspiration, techniques, approaches, opportunities, methods, and the people that make those ideas work. Today we have Kim Kesterke joining us in just a few minutes and she is one of those who loves her job and wants to keep it. I think she is actually in the majority out there. She started investing in rental properties remotely and self-manages them remotely. In fact she does this so well she's never had an eviction. Now she has a course called the W2 Landlord which you will hear about today and you might have an opportunity to be a beta tester for it. That's coming in a few minutes.

Later on we are going to wrap up the topic we started last time called "Contract to Closing." This seems like a rather mundane part of the deal and I suppose it is. But many contracts fall out and do not close. Sometimes those fallouts could have been avoided if the parties had been more prepared. So let's prepare!

• Samantha, Pittsburgh, PA, “Two questions, 1) is it too late to join the Buyers Club? And 2) How will I know what to do with the property I buy?

You have a property under contract. Hooray! What's next? What should you do? What should you expect? Are there any other surprises or pitfalls? (um, YES). Whether your contract is to buy or to sell, it's best to prepare yourself for the event. As many times as you have heard the old adage, It remains tempting to count the chickens when the eggs are laid, but let's get them hatched first, ok? I'll be sharing with you the checklists, processes, pitfalls, and preparations you need for your closings both when you are preparing to buy the property and when you are preparing to sell. As an added bonus I'll also be sharing with you a "Post-Closing Checklist" just to help you make sure the project is tied up in a neat bow. And as a special bonus to everyone listening right now if you would like my Closing Checklists package, you can get them for free just by writing in to the show. Send an email with the words "Closing Checklists" in the subject line to [email protected].

Among the topics we will discuss:

• Contract Contingencies
• Home Inspections
• Amendment to Address Concerns
• Seller Repairs
• Earnest Money
• Double Closings
• Dry Closings
• Transactional Funding
• Contract Assignments

And much more!

• • If you are looking for information on a particular property the best place to start is to just google the address. This will almost always bring up a page of results that includes zillow, trulia, realtor.com and sometimes redfin.com. I tend to look at all 4 but start with Zillow. Ignore for the most part the Zestimate, but this page can give you all kinds of useful information about the property. Zillow has a way of looking at similar properties that have sold in the area, which can be a rudimentary way of running some comps. When you are ready to pay, check Privy software bit.ly/getprivyprogram to see if they are in your area. If they are, it is well worth the investment to get and learn to use this software. You can also go to flippingamericacomps.com and sign up for a free trial of a software package the pretty much covers the entire United States. Again, the price is well worth it and my team and I use both. Even though we have these, if all we want is basic info about the property we will google it and check zillow.

Easier than fixing and flipping. Up to 10 times the cash flow of a standard rental property. The BOR method is the new go-to real estate investing strategy. BOR stands for "Buy", "Owner-Finance", "Repeat". The secret is to buy a house for under $20k that might need a little work, but seller-finance it to someone locally as-is.

As part of an exclusive buying program with the major auction houses, we are finding and buying houses for around $10-$15k all across the country every week. We can find more than we can buy, so we decided to share this opportunity with a select group of investors. Let me make a small fee and I can connect you opportunities that will bring a 30-50% annualized return on investment. These properties will be shown only to members of the Flipping America Buyers Club. Read on and see how your membership could be FREE.

My mentor for this business model is Eric Tomasi and he will be joining us on the call. He has been doing this for 14 years and has bought more than 11,000 houses. He and I will talk about the business model, how it works, and how you can get involved. You could be cash-flowing in a couple of weeks!

• Here’s a look at eviction statuses across the country: https://www.nreionline.com/multifamily/current-status-eviction-bans-state?fbclid=IwAR3Pl7fjfWzgXm_qUQ4wilhNTzmWybmqIR8DegcKQP-w0cPBa0CYefxYkrs

• Swanson, Springfield, OH, “I love my job, but I want real estate. I know I can buy rentals, but I want to do it right when I do. Can you help? What other options are out there for me? I have about $60,000 to invest.”
• Justin, New Orleans, LA I am looking for an unlisted property, where I know the square footage and the number of bedrooms and baths. Is there a way to search all homes in a city? 
• • If you are looking for information on a particular property the best place to start is to just google the address. This will almost always bring up a page of results that includes zillow, truila, realtor.com and sometimes redfin.com. I tend to look at all 4 but start with Zillow. Ignore for the most part the Zestimate, but this page can give you all kinds of useful information about the property. Zillow has a way of looking at similar properties that have sold in the area, which can be a rudimentary way of running some comps. When you are ready to pay, check Privy software bit.ly/getprivyprogram to see if they are in your area. If they are, it is well worth the investment to get and learn to use this software. You can also go to flippingamericacomps.com and sign up for a free trial of a software package the pretty much covers the entire United States. Again, the price is well worth it and my team and I use both. Even though we have these, if all we want is basic info about the property we will google it and check zillow.

You finally got a prospective seller to answer the phone! Or open the door! Now what? What do you say? Is there a phrase or an opening line that can help this thing go better? We want to put the person's mind at ease, immediately build rapport, build credibility and agreement. How do we start? How do we transition? How do we close? There is power in words, but is there also some magic?

Join master investors Vicky Schettini and Brandon Barnes as we break down the process - what you should be thinking, what you should be saying, what to listen for, and how to prepare to answer questions and objections. Our aim is to take you all the way through the conversation. Between our two panelists you have thousands of conversations' worth of experience. You will walk away with renewed confidence and more ready than ever to get that next deal under contract.
