Our guest for this week’s show is Mulitfamily expert and founder of the National Apartment Investor Group, Marty Cleckler. Marty has experience is all facets of multifamily investing and currently holds positions as a commercial appraiser who specialty lies in multifamily, a licensed real estate broker who’s core focus is apartment buildings, and last but not least as an active multifamily investor who has acted as a lead sponsor on numerous multifamily syndications.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Marty got his start in the real estate business as an appraiser and broker before moving on to becoming an active investor.

How he ended up with 22 partners on his first multifamily deal and why he vowed to never have that many investors involved in one single deal ever again.

His experience with outsourcing the management of his multifamily property during a massive rehab project and why he ultimately decided to bring it back in house and do it himself until the rehab was complete and the property stabilized.

Why it’s usually the smallest of investors that cause the biggest problems and headaches during a syndication project.

The huge opportunity that exists from the huge flood of millennials and baby boomers as it pertains to rental housing, specifically multifamily.

The reasons that Marty suggests that buying in in-fill type markets is a much better play than purchasing apartments in markets where there is still large amounts of room for developers to build new apartments.

The reasons to never shop by cap rate and why it really only pertains to the exit of a property.

Why loopnet is considered the graveyard for commercial deals.

Why building a database of properties within your desired your market or markets and getting to know those owners is by far the best way to find the best opportunities.

And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real estate Investment Expert, Al Klairmont.  Al has more than 38 years of industry experience and a long track record of success in the Chicago area. In today’s show, Al shares with us the core philosophies and investment strategies which have played a major role in getting him to where he is today. Al and his group currently own 100 Office, Retail, and Industrial properties in the Chicago area with more than 10 million square feet of leasable space. If that doesn’t impress you then how about if I told you that out of all 100 properties he only has very minimal leverage or debt and owns most of it free and clear with no outside equity partners.

Here's What You'll Learn

How he got his start in the Real Estate business after college and the valuable lessons he learned by managing his father’s small commercial rental portfolio.

Why he attributes a large piece of his success to the brilliant staff he has surrounded himself with at Imperial Realty.

How Al has adapted over time to the changing real estate cycles which has allowed him and his company the ability to prosper both in up and down markets.

The philosophy which he adopted from his father in which they implement an accelerated pay down plan to all properties they acquire and how this has proven a successful model through the numerous decades.

 Why his group caters towards distressed value-add commercial properties versus stabilized properties.

The numerous reasons he feels that the office building sector is by far the most difficult to own and operate efficiently and is the exact reason why he and his team like distressed value-add office deals.

Why he feels that you should never buy based on the current performance of a given property but more so how the property will perform in the future.

Why he feels very strongly that if you want something done correctly then you need to supervise the person or persons responsible for completing the task or project.

The reasons he suggests that all Real Estate professionals need to become masters at the art of sales and negotiation.

Our guest for this week’s show is the nation’s leading Direct Mail Expert, Craig Simpson. Being that marketing is a core element for any real estate investor who is looking to build and maintain a deal pipeline, direct mail is by far one of the best marketing methods around, that if executed correctly, can help you do more deals and beat out your competition. And today Craig and I discuss how to get started in successfully integrating direct mail into your business NOW.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Craig got started in the direct mail business and quickly became known as the leading expert within the industry.

How to properly tailor your copy or sales message so that it properly resonates with the person receiving it.

Why it’s critical that you track and test all of your direct mail efforts…even if you’re receiving what you feel is a strong response rate.

The importance of having a clean list and why this simple step can save you thousands over time.

Why a sales letter without a call to action is like a ship without a rudder which means you really need to have a strong call to action in every mail piece you send.

When using teaser copy on the exterior of a direct mailer makes sense.

Why you are leaving money on the table if you’re not sending at least 3 follow up mailers to the same list.

How to get discounts on the cost of postage which can lower your postage per piece from $0.49 per stamp to as low as $0.26 per piece.

Why the quality of your mailing list is everything and why I’d rather have a high quality 250 person list vs. a 25,000 person list.

The importance of sending a follow up thank you letter or gift to prospects that you weren’t able to complete a deal and how this one simple act could easily turn a dead lead into a deal.

Why he suggests that the last place you should get your financial advice from is your parents…especially if your parents are old and wealthy.

The lessons he learned from being a used car salesman which helped him propel his success 10x over throughout a variety of different businesses.

Why he feels you need to go big or go home when it comes to multifamily investing.

The process he’s used to acquire a portfolio worth in excess of $350 million using his own money and not relying on outside investors or raising money through syndications.

Why he thinks that purchase price is the last consideration you should have when evaluating a real estate deal.

The reasons he feels all new multifamily investors should be focusing on value-add deals in order to maximize your backend profits.

The reasons he feels that the more liberal and democratic markets are typically stronger real estate markets which have higher appreciation and overall values.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate Investor and personal development expert, Raul Villacis. In today’s show Raul shares with us the path that took him from a hugely successful Real Estate investor with a multimillion dollar 150+ employee company, to a person struggling to keep his business afloat and barely having enough money to keep the lights on in his home and to feed his family. This business and personal crisis that Raul experienced was a direct result of the 2008 financial meltdown.

Raul will share with us intimate details on how he was able to rebuild not only his business but also his personal and family life.

Here's What You'll Learn

How he got his start in Real Estate at the young age of 23 and within a few short years owned millions of dollars’ worth of investment real estate, a successful brokerage firm, c, and construction company.

He’ll share with us how his business was decimated by the recession of 2008 and went from employing more than 150 people to losing everything in a matter of months, only to slip into a deep personal depression before rebuilding his path to success.

 Why he attributes most of his downfall to not paying attention to the signs that the RE market was presenting and then allowing his ego and identity to control his decisions on not to sell during the peak.

Learn how experiencing this huge loss opened up a new door of opportunity in the distressed asset game and how he was able to capitalize on this and rebuild his business when many others were still drowning in their losses.

Why he says you need to uncover your true identity and what your core passions are if you ever want to experience true happiness and fulfillment in your life and business.

The system that Raul uses to reboot himself and continually perform at peak levels which he ultimately links to his success.

How anyone can achieve whatever goal they desire if they only break it down into small, easy to reach, actionable steps and how Raul applies this to both his business and personal life.

Why we should never ignore our gut feeling as it’s very rarely wrong.

The reasons he feels that technology will play a key role in how the future of Real Estate plays out and why you need to keep a close ear on all the new trends so you can be first to see how it might have a positive or negative impact on your business.

In today’s show, I’ll be sharing with you a proven exercise that has worked for me and thousands of others, which will help you more clearly define your REI road map for 2016. I suggest you treat this show as somewhat of a homework assignment and take the time to sit down and write down your answers and then revisit them a few times throughout the year to ensure you’re still on the right path. This exercise consists of one primary question and a few supporting sub-questions and can be completed in less than 30 minutes and I can promise you that these 30 minutes will be probably the most critical 30 minutes of the year for you.
