We’re going to speak with Mark about how he was able to go from just being a part-time investor who still had to work a full-time job to make ends meet, to a person who quit the corporate rat race to pursue his Real Estate passion Full-Time. We’ll also dive deep into the recent 64-unit apartment acquisition in TX and how he was able to find an opportunity in a property that most others had passed on.

The reasons Mark attributes most of his successes to the incredible team he has built and feels he wouldn’t be where he is today without them.

The hard lessons Mark learned after investing his money in what he later found out was an investment scheme and the small steps he could have taken that could have potentially helped him avoid this mess.

Why Mark chooses to buy apartments in markets that are almost 1,000 miles away from his home in Denver, CO and the systems he uses to manage these from afar.

The opportunities that can exist in stale listings and how Mark was able to pick up a great deal that many others passed on.

Our guest for this week’s show is Deferred Sales Trust Expert, Richard Hershey.

In today’s show, we’ll be speaking with Richard about this 1031 exchange alternative called the deferred sales trust. If you’ve ever been involved in a 1031 transaction before then you know that the short time constraints can be absolutely nerve wrecking and a failed 1031 can leave your money tied up for up to 6 months, and worst yet, a failed 1031 means that all those capital gains you were trying to avoid paying will now be fully realized. Well, welcome to what I’d like to refer to as your 1031 plan B. Whether you’re a new investor or seasoned pro, I’m positive that you’ll get a ton of value from my interview with Richard today.

Here's What You'll Learn

What exactly a deferred sales trust is and how this estate planning instrument can offer you an alternative to a 1031 exchange and actually become a “plan B” or failsafe in case you encounter a failed 1031 exchange,

The benefits of being able to purchase investments other than just real estate from your sales proceeds by use of the deferred sales trust. These investments could be bonds, stocks, annuities, etc.

The costs and fees associated with this type of structure.

How, we real estate investors can use this as a strategy when dealing with sellers who don’t have an interest in buying more property and who also have a fully depreciated asset that will have some major tax consequences should they sell. In my business I deal with a lot of mom and pop sellers who are in this exact scenario where a deferred sales trust would be the perfect way for them to sell their property without having to exchange into another active real estate investment while still mitigating their exposure to uncle sam.

Our guest for this week’s show is Self Storage expert, Michael Rogers.

My call with Michael was a real treat as he’s just an everyday normal guy with whom I’m can really relate to and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way. He started out like most of us do by making a few small investments in single family and small multifamily properties before stumbling on to what has now become his bread and butter profit center, and that is self-storage facilities.

Michael specializes in acquiring smaller mom and pop run self-storage facilities that are mismanaged and/or distressed and turns them into lucrative cash cows that feed his bank account each and every month. He runs all of his storage facilities from one central office and speaks in detail to how he runs his well-oiled machine.

Even if self-storage isn’t your thing, I think you’ll find HUGE amounts of value in our time together with Michael.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Michael got his start in the corporate world working as a CPA and investing in real estate in his spare time, and how this evolved over time to where his rental income has become substantial enough to allow him to go part-time in his corporate gig.

Why it’s much quicker and much less brain damage to evict a tenant from a self-storage unit than on a residential dwelling.

How he’s able to manage all 3 of his self-storage facilities from one centralized office with just one manager.

The specific SEO and web marketing strategies he uses to maintain a steady flow of prospects and compete head-to-head with some of the larger self storage-players in his marketplace.

The opportunity he feels exists within the self-storage industry due to the large number of mom and pop owned facilities that exist throughout the country.

How he recruited a bird-dog to help him solicit mom and pop owners by means of cold calls and local visits which has added multiple deals to his pipeline.

The importance of building rapport with property owners and why this is so vitally important when dealing with mom and pop owners.

The rule of thumb to use when figuring the cost to expand an existing self-storage facility.

How he’s utilized direct mail to acquire his latest self-storage facility and a recent office building and why he feels this is the best method to uncover off-market deals

How technology is allowing self-storage operators to fully automate their operations, which means these properties can run with no on-site personnel.

Why he doesn’t have an interest in creating relationships with companies with U-Haul, which provide ancillary income streams for self-storage properties.

The importance of building your reputation and making your “word” the most valuable asset in your arsenal.

And much more

This week's Cash Flow Friday tip is regarding finding a sponsor for your commercial real estate deal. If you’re brand new to the business and don’t have a track record of owning larger commercial properties then it’s quite common that in order for you to qualify for financing, you’ll need to bring an experienced partner onto the team, one who has a strong track record in the asset type you’re looking to acquire as well as a healthy financial statement; and this person would be referred to as a sponsor.

I’ll be sharing with you a few relatively simple methods you can use to secure a sponsor for your deal.
