Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #124, which originally aired on September 20, 2016.

In this week's show we'll be speaking with commercial real estate investor, Ash Patel. Ash is quite the visionary as he commonly takes vacant and/or commercial properties and repositions them into highly valuable investments. And the best part, Ash did most of this all while working a full-time IT job. He has since gone full-time as a Real estate Investor, but you could say that he built a very successful real estate investment business in his part-time.

I'm positive that you'll find our show with Ash both inspiring and motivational…I know I did.

Here's what you'll learn in todays show.

• How Ash made the transition from being a full-time IT consultant to a full-time real estate investor.
• Why he prefers commercial investments to residential?
• The reasons why he was forced him to remain vacant for more than 6 months in one of his multifamily properties and the lessons he learned from this experience.
• Why he feels local bank relationships are paramount in this business, especially when it comes to smaller scale commercial projects.
• The opportunity he saw in a vacant single use tenant building that had an abnormally small amount of parking and turn it into a highly desirable asset.
• How he's been able to find all of his recent deals without having to do any direct marketing strategies like direct mail or cold calling.
• How he's been able to hedge his risk from another potential real estate down cycle by negotiating longer terms with his banks and also selling off any of his higher priced assets.
• Why he feels that there are a ton of opportunities that exist on the local MLS, not Loopnet or CoStar, but the local MLS.
• The reasons he wishes he would have sought out a mentor in the very beginning to help offset his learning curve and how he would have gone about finding this mentor.

It's a fact that experience is by far the best teacher, but it is absolutely idiotic to go at it alone if you can find a mentor who has been there and done that to hold your hand and show you the way. My suggestion is to learn from those who do what you do (real estate investor) and who have been extremely successful. This same principal also applies to finding another investor to partner or JV with on a deal. If you can find someone who will compliment your skills and who already has a track record you'll find that the process is much easier than working with someone who has zero experience.

This week's show will outline the methods which I have personally used in my business to find both partners and mentors and with paired with the will to succeed and some good ol' hard work I know these methods will also yield results for you if applied correctly.

In this show you're going to learn:

• How to build a database of all individuals who own the types of buildings you'd like to one day own
• How to directly market to these owners through various methods
• How to use Linkedin to find your ideal mentor or partner
• Why you need to formulate a concise action plan - TODAY
• How to use brokers to help you find and get introductions to owners and potential partners
• And much more…

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #90, which originally aired on October 12. 2015.

Our guest for this week's show is Real Estate redevelopment expert, Jay Several. Jay has a very interesting story because his real estate investment career started off as more of a hobby which he dabbled in in his spare time while running his software consulting company.

The exciting part about Jay's journey is that not only did he start investing full-time just a short 10 years ago, but he started just before the biggest real estate crash in history was about to happen. And if that wasn't already challenging enough, the projects that he was acquiring weren't simple deals like stabilized apartment buildings or fully leased NNN shopping center deals. No, he started off by redeveloping vacant buildings and repurposing them for entirely different uses. This, my friends, is not a business for the faint of heart or for the beginner investor. Listen in to hear how Jay makes the magic happen

In this show with Jay you're going to learn:

• How jay got involved in Real Estate after selling his software consulting firm
• Why he decided to take the path of redeveloping infill properties instead of purchasing already occupied and cash flowing investments.
• How he was able to profit $1 million on his first deal and how he's been able to duplicate this success over and over again.
• What qualities he looks for when determining whether or not a property makes for a good redevelopment opportunity.
• Why he never gives exclusive listings to commercial brokers.
• The process he takes to proactively seek out tenants to fill his centers before he's even finished with the project.
• Why he feels that everything you own should be for sale….at the right price.
• The reasons he prefers the retail sector due to its ease of management.
• The $250,000 mistake he made and how he overcame it and became a smarter investor because of it.
• Why he feels that persistence is one of the most important qualities needed in becoming a successful real estate investor.
• And much more
