Our guest for this week’s show is Ground Lease Investment Expert and president of ground lease capital partners, Steven Waldman.

In today’s interview with Steven, we’re going to discuss how to generate long term and low risk income streams by investing in what he calls the “ultimate passive commercial investment vehicle”, which are ground leases.

Steven is one of the foremost experts in the industry and has spent his entire career focused in this specific niche, and having been involved in more than $1.5 billion dollars worth of transactions, I’d say he’s highly qualified to speak with is today on this exciting topic.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Steven got his start in the ground lease business and why he feels it’s the best investment vehicle available when compared to other tradition commercial investment types.

What exactly a ground lease is and how they are structured for investors

The benefits of a ground lease for both the landowner and the building owner or developer who will be building on top of the leased land.

Why ground leases typically make better passive investments than credit tenant NNN net investments.

What happens in the event of a default on a ground lease agreement and why the land owner is in a very safe position

Learn about the strategy of purchasing an existing property and selling off the land lease component and how you can utilize this creative technique in your own business.

This week I'm going to share with you a case-study from a fellow podcast listener who after setting a goal to purchase his first apartment complex within 6 months was able to successfully close on a 38 unit property in Kansas City. He achieved this by following a simple process of making just one cold call per day to different property owners within his target markets who owned buildings within the size parameters he wanted to acquire. Tune in to hear the exact system he used.

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real Estate and Parking Lot Expert, John Roy

In today’s discussion with John, we’re going to discuss the little known niche of parking lot investing. John is one of the foremost experts in the industry and spends time on both the investment side by personally owning parking lots as well as running a full service brokerage that solely specializes in parking lot sales

My time spent with John was very enlightening, as I knew little to nothing about the parking business prior to our call together. If you’re like me, then you’re always open to learning about new investment methods that can provide you diversification and long-term cash flow and wealth creation. Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what you’re going to learn about in today's show.

Here's What You'll Learn

How John got his start in the parking lot business and how purchasing a few dilapidated homes near the Notre Dame football stadium has spawned into a full blown multi-million dollar business for him.

What the air rights of a property are and why these can typically be much more valuable than keeping the parking lot as an ordinary income property.

The step-by-step process of getting into parking lot investments.

Why parking lots make for low maintenance investments in comparison to other commercial investments like apartments, office, retail, etc.

The value-add components to look for when seeking out a parking lot investment.

How to properly underwrite a parking lot investment when there are no financials available which is a quite common scenario when dealing with small-scale parking lot owners/operators.

How automation is changing the parking lot industry and how these changes are having a positive impact on the industry as a whole.

What type of financing is available on parking lots and how to obtain bank financing even when you’re buying a parking lot that doesn’t have accurate financial statements available.

How to utilize out-of-the-box strategies to find opportunities, even in today’s competitive environment.

And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real Estate Developer and Investor, Dick Anagnost.

In today’s discussion with Dick, we’re going to discuss how he’s gone from Limousine owner/operator to being the president and CEO of a highly successful full service commercial real estate firm located in Manchester, NH. Dick has become an expert at re-positioning old rundown historic buildings and re-purposing them for uses that meet the needs of today’s businesses and consumers. Dick’s progressive vision and unconventional thinking was the main driving force, which brought downtown Manchester back to its former glory.

My time spent with Dick was both inspiring and motivating as it shows that hard and work and perseverance truly does win at the end of the day. And it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or are already an experienced real estate investor, I’m positive that you’ll thoroughly enjoy and gain a ton of value from our discussion together.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Dick got his start in the limousine business and how this business was the catalyst to his foray into the commercial real estate industry.

How the lack of a mentor caused many unnecessary mistakes during his start in the industry, which is why he strongly suggests that all new investors/developers find a mentor when getting started.

The process of unconventional thinking and forward vision that Dick and his team use to identify historical repositioning opportunities.

How Dick was able to persuade the city of Manchester to provide the necessary financing for a few of his first redevelopment projects.

How to perform a feasibility study on a historical redevelopment project to understand the overall viability of a potential project.

Why being a developer is one of the most risky endeavors a real estate investor can embark on, but can also be one of the most rewarding.

Understanding the capital stack that is involved when using federal government funds for these historical repositioning.

The reasons why Dick feels that real estate developers are a dying breed and why this shortage represents an opportunity for the younger generation.

Tips and strategies that Dick would give a new aspiring developer who is seeking an experienced mentor to help guide them down this path.

How not keeping up with current trends and the changing needs of the consumer can often mean certain death to a real estate developer.

In today’s show I’m going to discuss the benefits of using seller financing when buying or selling a property, but more importantly, we’re going to discuss how to successfully educate and persuade the owner of a property to consider this type of sale. If you don’t know how to effectively communicate the benefits to a seller then it’s highly unlikely that an owner will consider holding financing for you during a sale.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Investment and Direct Marketing Expert, Eric Stark.

Today’s discussion with Eric is an exciting one, and I say that because I wasn’t completely sure what to expect as I didn’t know too much about Eric prior to the call other than he was a very successful investor whose primary focus was residential properties, so I thought. And being that our show is primarily focused on Commercial I wasn’t sure exactly how our conversation would go, but boy am I glad we did the call together, because not only is Eric a brilliant businessman and marketer, but he also has a portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties which means he is the exact type of guest we look to bring on the show.

I personally walked away from this interview with Eric with multiple golden nuggets which we’ll be immediately implementing into our business and I’m positive you’ll find the same value as I did, and then some.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Eric got his start as a residential wholesaler back in 2008 during the financial crisis and how leveraged that down market to grow his real estate business at a very rapid rate.

How he’s combated a highly competitive marketplace by implementing an aggressive direct mail strategy, which has proven very successful in creating a steady stream of deal flow to his business.

The reasons he recommends sending a highly personalized direct mail letter to a very small list versus a generic form letter to a massive list and how this one strategy has continued to bring incredible results for his business.

How successfully negotiate and strike a deal with an owner who is not money motivated and whose property isn’t even for sale.

What a “top 100 list” is and why Eric suggests every investor needs to create this list for themselves.

The custom website tool that Eric includes on all of his mailers which offers free education to the property owners regarding the benefits of seller financing. He’ll share the url so you can check it out for yourself

How he uses a pre-recorded message to warm up cold leads and also offer an easy way for property owners to get more information about Eric’s business without having to speak to a live person.

The letter he sends to surrounding property owners once he’s purchased a property within the same neighborhood and how this one method alone has resulted in multiple additional acquisitions for Eric and his group.

How Eric was able to turn a disgruntled property owner who was sick and tired of receiving his direct mail into a friendship that has brought him multiple investment opportunities, capital for deals, not to mention a mentor who had 50+ years of experience in the industry and who has become an invaluable resource to Eric and his team.

Why Eric loves the Detroit market and the reasons he says that you should add it to your list of “cities to consider investing in”.

The important role a mentor played in Eric’s overall success and why he feels that a good mentor is critical to your success in this business.

The one Dr. Seuss book that Eric suggests will change your life and is one of the best business books he’s ever read.

And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is raw land investment expert and founder of the popular Real Estate Investment website REtipster.com, Seth Williams.

In today’s show we’re going to be speaking with Seth about his part-time investment business and how he has created multiple streams of income by buying and selling raw land. If you’ve been a loyal listener to our show for the past few years then you’ve probably heard me previously talk about this niche of raw land investing. Our company even went as far as testing this particular niche to see if it might prove to be a potential new revenue stream for our existing investment business.

I think the most existing part about this niche is the fact that someone could essentially get started and buy their first deal for as low as a few hundred bucks. I personally feel that this niche offers a great opportunity for the beginning investor who has limited money and resources to get started in a “not so competitive” niche and start making some passive income streams which they can bank roll and hopefully later parlay into bigger deals. This is also a great niche for those looking for alternative ways to create additional streams of income and some phenomenal returns.

Whether you’re a new or seasoned investor I’m positive that you’ll get a ton of value from our interview together.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Seth got his start as a Raw Land investor while working a full-time job.

How he found a unique niche by marketing directly to tax delinquent land owners.

The reasons I feel that this type of investing is a great way for new investors to get started with very little working capital and use it as a stepping stone to get into bigger commercial deals.

The process of obtaining a tax delinquent property owner list from the county and how to properly scrub it.

How he was able to streamline his lead generation process by utilizing a strategic recorded message and website.

What the due diligence process looks like on a raw piece of land.

How to properly come up with an estimated value for a vacant piece of land.

What his direct mail process consists of when mailing to land owners.

And much more
