Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

Today's show is part 2 in my 4 part series on probate investing.

In part one I talked about the 8 steps in the probate process. Today's show goes over the duties of the executor or administrator. I will also go over what the difference is in these two terms.

In both cases, the personal representative must act in accordance with the laws of the state. Coming next ...

Today's show is the first of 4 shows about probate investing.The topic today is understanding the probate process.

Investors commonly have the misconception that the house cannot be sold until the estate is closed, when actually it is the reverse. The property and any other assets in the estate (not directly inherited) must be sold before the estate can be closed.

In this first episode, you will get a clear understanding of how the probate process works.

This question, has been around forever. Which is best; investing locally or in another state? So what's the answer?

Well, it depends.

It depends on your business goals, your level of experience, property costs in your area, and to some degree the degree of risk you can live with.

For some real estate investors the choice is simple. They live in areas where property costs too much for it to make sense to invest where they live. Southern California is just one example of this. On the other side of the spectrum is where I live which is Louisville, KY. Property is very affordable here compared to many places.

One thing I am sure of is that you must have systems in place, boots on the ground and reliable property managers to make this work. I have some tips for you in this show as well as a resource for those "boots on the ground". Be sure to stop by the Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog.

In today's show we are going to talk about how to get more offers accepted in your real estate investing business. My guest today is Boston investor Tom Caferalla.

Tom and his team have closed over 500 deals in the last 5 years. During this time, they have developed a way to make offers, get more offers accepted, and get the listing if their cash offer is rejected.

Some of the things we talked about are:

• Getting out of the rat race in an unexpected way
• Managing the broker/ investor relationship
• How he ended up having a brokerage (not in the plan)
• Showing up as a problem solver
• Using "3 line dialers" in their marketing plan

You know how I like to talk marketing. One of the things you are going to learn about is something new called "IP" marketing. This strategy will supercharge your direct mail.

My guest today is McKinley Carbone from Open Letter Marketing. Anyone that is doing direct mail today knows that the response rates are pretty low.

So, does that mean you should stop doing direct mail? Absolutely not. What it does mean is that you need to be different to stand out in a crowded marketplace.

You can read the rest of the article on the blog. Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog.

My guest today is Tyler Sheff the founder of the "Cash Flow Guys". He has an awesome podcast by the way.

Tyler's real estate investing philosophy is building wealth by finding problems not property. That's a great philosophy for sure. He is also a licensed agent, an educator and a syndicator. His focus today is on solely on multi-family properties.

Show Notes

We covered a lot of ground in this show. Here are some of the things we talked about:

• How Tyler got started
• Marketing: Where most of Tyler's leads come from today (it's not where you might think)
• Why Tyler chose multi-family investing over single family homes
• The reason he invests in this particular type of properties
• How to maximize your cash flow and your profitability as a landlord
• Building a team
• Building wealth with your Roth IRA
• And much more!

My guest today is Erik Hitzelberger, and he's back for a second time.

In today's show, we are going to talk about the broad topic of financial education, why most people will never be able to retire comfortably on their current path, and what you must do to change that.

Financial education is critical to the success of most any business, but it's especially important for a business like real estate investing where decisions are made solely on numbers.

Sadly, most people are lacking even the most basic financial skills and information needed for success in this business.

Show Notes

• Where most people stand today when it comes to their financial situations (and statistics to back it up)
• The story people have been sold when it comes to their retirements and why it hasn't worked out
• The shift in thinking that must happen for things to finally change for a secure retirement
• Assets and passive income; why this is a game changer for your retirement
