Ola, an entrepreneur at heart, brings his experience in owning and managing cash flowing multifamily property in his personal real estate portfolio to larger multifamily investing. This foundational experience derived from the strategic acquisition, renovation, and repositioning has been instrumental in the apartment syndication space, resulting in a competitive edge in value add and equity creation. In addition, Ola draws from his leadership and analytic skills as a Sr Business Analyst for a fortune 10 company. 

GETTING STARTED: "I was born in Nigeria and went to school in the UK. I was in a stage where I was wondering what I was going to do with my life. A friend of mine asked me to meet him in Dubai for a meeting. Everybody told me not to go. Long story short, I got on the plane to Dubai. He showed me what he was doing and how quickly it was growing. After two days we took a deep dive into his business and how he doubled his business in a year. I decided to do what he was going in the US. Through my research I found BiggerPockets which lead me to Rich Dad Poor Dad. When I read this book I realized it was everything I needed to know. The rest is history."

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME LIMITING BELIFES "I love this stuff Jason, I love mindset. I love the ability to dream. Everything around us was somebody's dream. The buildings, structures, houses was all in somebody's head. If we can see it in our mind we can bring our thought into fruition, but your thinking has to be withing reality. Can I be an apartment building owner in a year? Yes. Can I be on Mars in a day? No. It's about bench marking your goal to reality. But most importantly, it's about why you are doing it. Map out what you want out of life and you can get closer and closer to your dreams."

WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST STRUGGLE? "As you are growing your business you will realize you can't do everything by yourself. Our growing pain is building a team that fits within our culture and fit with our philosophy. Finding the right person is hard, so what we do is ask them what we can do for them first. If we can give value to them, then the relationship will be strong. To find the right people we post our ads everywhere. Since everything is so global now we are placing ads in Universities, Facebook, and Instagram."

All hail the king of automation Mark Podolsky! Mark is on a quest to teach the art of buying and selling raw land. What was so outstanding about this interview was the specific details Mark gave us about automation. You will hear how Mark scaled his business by building a team and creating systems that handled all the work that could possibly be delegated away. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the king!

GETTING STARTED: "I was working as an investment banker specializing in mergers and acquisitions. It was miserable. My commute was 45 min to the office and back, I was micro-managed, it was high pressure, high stress, and long hours. It was so bad for me that I would get the Sunday blues on Friday because I knew the weekend was going to fly by. My firm happened to hire a guy who started telling me about how he makes money buying raw land. He was making a 300% return on his investments. I didn't believe him until I started buying raw land myself. 

HOW HAS YOUR BUSINESS EVOLVED "After getting through the housing crash, I realized I don't know what I don't know. That made me humble enough to start seeking out mentors. That's when I started building systems and automation and really making it a big business. I used to do it all myself, but now I work 2 hours a week in frontier property. I can do that because we are 90% automated." 

WHAT'S YOUR WHY "I have already accomplished my initial why of getting out of my soul sucking investment banking job. But after 10 years of buying land I was starting to get an itch for a new challenge, nobody really thanks you for selling them land. Now that I started teaching people how to do what I have done, people like Rachel Muler and Shawn Rickman have made enough money to travel the world doing this business. My why now is helping people get rid of that big bucket of stress called money."

On today's episode we have Mark Kenney from ThinkMultifamily on the show. Mark is a seasoned real estate investor, best-selling author, and founder of ThinkMultifamily. He has been in the industry for over 20 years and has invested in over 2,000 units. He started with nothing and now he runs a massive real estate empire. Want to learn how he did it? Listen in!

GETTING STARTED: "I went to college to become a CPA. When I was a senior I started looking at real estate deals. Got my first accepted offer when I was 21 and my dad talked me out of it. I realized later that no matter how good the deal was it wouldn't be good enough for my dad. He wasn't even an investor but I valued his opinion. After that I started looking for properties without taking my dad with me. I always loved real estate and knew I didn't want to work in the corporate world. 

WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE BEGINNERS "First you need to ask yourself if you're willing to partner with other people. If your're answer is no then you will be limited to what you can do with your own personal net work. But if you're willing to partner with somebody then your possibilities are limitless. At the end of the day if you call a broker and tell them you're new and looking for properties, that's one discussion. But if you have a partner who is already in the industry then that conversation will go a lot differently. 

WHATS THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU'VE LEARNED "Unfortunately, be very reluctant in trusting people. Don't give people too much time to prove themselves, especially with a property management company. If they aren't doing what they should be doing, give them some room, but not too much room. At the end of the day it's not about being nice it's about running a business. When you take someone's money in it's even more important. You might have to make those hard decisions, but ultimately it's the right thing to do."
