  • Flipping America 352, Don't Just Survive - Thrive!
    Over the past few weeks we have all become familiar with terms like "flattening the curve" and "self-quarantine." These sudden additions to our lexicon are necessary in order to ensure survival. Our hearts and our sympathy go out to all who are suffering during this difficult time. The vast majority of us however can't help but wonder when will life get back to normal, what will "normal" look like, and how can our small businesses survive much more of this? On this call we will tap into the wisdom of two of America's most prolific real estate investors. They have seen good times come and go and come back again. Kathy and Rod would each tell you that most of their success came from a mindset they adopted when they started. Successful people are not always consciously aware of their unique mindset but thoughtful people who have endured the slings and arrows of entrepreneurship usually have some time to reflect on the collection of thoughts (mindset) that propels us forward. Tonight we are going to look beyond survival and focus on creating and managing thriving business in the days ahead. What you will DO both during and immediately after this crisis will be determined in large part by what you THINK right now. So how about a dose of some good things to THINK about? Let's get our brains to a good place so our businesses can follow.

  • Flipping America 333, "Are We In a Real Estate Bubble?"
    I hear it everywhere I go, like the constant drumbeat of the real estate Chicken Littles: "The Sky is Falling! The Real Estate market is going to crash again. And it's going to happen soon! The logic seems to be that real estate must be cyclical and we must have a major market shake up every ten years or so. That means it's time. We are going to talk about this today and for an informed an credible opinion, I reached out to Logan Mohtashami. He is the Senior Loan Manager at AMC Lending Group, a mortgage company in the Los Angeles area. But more than a lender, Logan's career-long passion is studying the financial and housing markets. He has been tracking these markets for two decades, has seen good times and bad times, analyzed the data, run the numbers, and he is staying up to the minute on the developments. If there is anyone out there who is completely credible and qualified to speak on this subject, it is Logan Mohtashami. And in a few minutes, he is going to lower the boom with his answer.

    He's created one of the most comprehensive house flipping software packages on the market today. And he's going to join us in just a moment. Kuba Fietkiewicz is one of the founders of REIkit.com and I have to tell you, if I were getting into this business today, this is one platform I would seriously consider.

  • Flipping America 592, Passive Investing with Charles Carillo

    Want to make money passively in real estate? Keep your job or stay retired but put your money to work for you. If so, consider investing in a real estate syndication. Today on Flipping America.

    When I was a kid the Syndicate was a euphemism for organized crime or the bad guys. I couldn't remember specifically why I thought that so I turned to ChatGPT for some help. I simply asked, "Why do I associate the phrase 'the Syndicate' with criminals?"

    Here's the response: The phrase "The Syndicate" is often associated with criminal organizations because it is commonly used to refer to a group of individuals or entities that engage in illegal activities, such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or money laundering. In popular culture, the term has been used to describe fictional criminal organizations in movies, TV shows, and novels, which has further reinforced its association with criminality.

    However, it's important to note that the term "syndicate" can also have legitimate and legal connotations, particularly in business and finance. For example, a syndicate can refer to a group of investors who pool their resources to finance a large project or investment opportunity. The context and usage of the term determine its meaning and associations.

    In a moment I'm going to chat with Charles Carillo of Harborside Partners and we are going to discuss legal syndication. He's one of the good guys.

  • Flipping America 590, HomeVestors, with Dean Bendall
    I would bet you've seen a billboard or something advertising HomeVestors. You might not know that name, but you know the phrase, "Ug buys ugly houses." That's HomeVestors and today we have a HomeVestors investor joining us to talk about what it's like. You might want to do this! Dean Bendall has been a friend of mine for at least 15 years. A few years ago he called me and asked about HomeVestors. I referred him to another friend of mine, they spoke and Dean signed up. In short, this is going very well for him. This is not an opportunity for the timid or someone who is broke. But if you're willing to work their system, you're going to have some fun and make some money. Dean will be with us in just a few minutes.
