Real Wealth Solutions Podcast

In this episode Greg and Darren welcome Savannah Arroyo, The Networth Nurse. Savannah and her husband have created an awesome brand and have made major steps to achieve their goals, all while both maintaining their W2 jobs and raising two young children.

 Real estate journeys are always unique to the individual, but fortunately we can learn from listening to the stories of other journeys and apply lessons and inspiration to our own lives.

 One great takeaway – Do what you can to get yourself out there. Not everyone has the time host a meetup or a podcast, but you sure can attend those meetups and offer to be a guest on a podcast.

 Savannah "The Networth Nurse" is a full-time Registered Nurse in Los Angeles, California.  She uses her skills as a leader in healthcare operations to manage multi family syndications.  She also helps busy medical professionals create passive income through real estate investing.

 You may reach Savannah at her website – The Networth Nurse – via email at [email protected] – or on most social networks as The Networth Nurse.

 Ryan’s podcast – Mobile Home Parks in Real Life - http://www.archimedesgrp.com/podcast

From Ryan – I am a double graduate of Wake Forest University with an undergrad in Psychology & Statistics and an MBA. I'm a self made real estate entrepreneur who owns and operates 20 Mobile Home Parks spanning ~1,795 units. But here's the thing: I started with nothing. No money. No experience. No network. I was a 20 something with way more student loan debt than actual capital to invest in deals. I'm just a normal dude. The only thing that makes me different is that I refused to quit. And I was willing to sacrifice, and take bold action. I found creative ways to make money while I scaled my business up. I was stuck in Corporate America. I escaped. And I want to help others too.

Real estate journeys are always unique to the individual, but fortunately we can learn from listening to the stories of other journeys and apply lessons and inspiration to our own lives.

In this episode Greg and Darren welcome Kyle Grimm. Kyle began his real estate journey while still in high school with a purchase of a $5000 house. (Spoiler alert – he sold it just last year!) Kyle has been consistent in scaling his business one step at a time and his commitment to that goal shows in the growth he has been able to accomplish. 

 One great takeaway – Let people know what you are doing. If they don’t know, they won’t present you with opportunities.

Kyle is a 27-year-old real estate investor and broker who is currently focusing on mobile home parks and small multi family.  Kyle got started in real estate when he purchased his first rental senior year of high school. After receiving that first rent check, he was hooked.  Kyle is currently working on turning his portfolio of small multifamily and mobile home parks into a well-oiled machine so he can continue to scale.

Marketing yourself and your business can be a challenge. This episode will give you some actionable tips to help make it easier.

In this episode Greg and Darren welcome guest Dan Fradenburgh for great discussion about marketing – from YouTube to email. Dan not only brings much experience from the IT world; he’s an investor as well. That investing experience combined with his investing experience gives Dan a unique perspective that he generously shares with Greg, Darren and you.

 One great takeaway – Online, organic reach has limited power.

 
Dan Fradenburgh achieved success as an online funnel builder, enabling his clients to make more than $70M in sales through his agency and IT services at FunnelFixing.com.

 He is a prolific content creator and host of the YouTube channel FIGGERRIDOUT with over 400 episodes.  His book on attention-to-detail is available on Amazon, and with the help of his fully digital AI avatar he's now able to say more after his death than he possibly can during his life... Making him effectively immortal.

 I guess you could say he's not your typical Commercial Real Estate Investor.

Greg and Darren welcome Duc Ong to The Road to 500 series. 

 By the time an investor has reached 500 units, they are in a place where systems are set up, refined, and working well. Lessons have been learned and applied, and momentum is carrying them forward. We are tapping to these investors to share their knowledge to help you get to, and past, your first 500.

 Thanks for joining us as we discover the story of Duc’s journey on The Road to 500.

 One great takeaway – Begin to outsource (use of VAs) earlier than you think you can or should.

A resident of Honolulu for more than 16 years, Duc has lived and worked in many areas on Oahu. His business is based on mostly referrals from satisfied clients. Most important to Duc is providing exceptional service to buyers and sellers in order to earn their trust, referrals, and repeat business. Duc has sold homes in all price ranges from starter homes and luxury condominiums, multi-family properties, and investment properties, totaling over $22M in career sales. Clients appreciate his flexibility, low pressure sales, patience, ability to listen and hear what a client wants, negotiation and analytical skills, and his ability to accurately price and market a home.

As a graduate of the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a M.S. in Physics, he brings a unique analytical skill set to the real estate business. He moved from Southern California to Honolulu in 2004, after graduating from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Physics. He is also fluent in Vietnamese. As a real estate investor, Duc is a partner in 769 units across 6 states. He is a limited partner in a 310-unit community in El Paso, TX, and a 192-unit in Longview, TX. As an active investor, he owns a single-family rental property in Anaheim, CA, 15 units in one JV in Pittsburgh, PA, 74 units with Tri-City Equity Group in Saginaw, MI, and 177 units as a GP in El Paso, TX and Salem, VA. He owns a personal residence condominium in Honolulu and is under contract on a new construction condo unit in Kaka’ako. His broad experience as a real estate investor in both Oahu and mainland properties allows him to provide his clients with the best experience in both buying and selling properties. He specializes in working with investors.

Looking to make the move from operator to owner? Then this is the episode for you!

In this episode Greg and Darren welcome fellow investor Bill Hamel who generously shares his journey from multifamily operator to multifamily owner. Bill has been investing for decades and has some fantastic insights for those of us who haven’t had quite as long a career. 

 One great takeaway – When you dabble, you don’t get the results you want.

Bill Hamel has been a successful multifamily real estate investor since the 90’s.  He started buying smaller investment properties in the Albany, NY area with a childhood buddy.  Once established in this space, Bill continued building his portfolio by adding his brother as another partner. He added larger multifamily properties into the plan and accumulated well over 200 units in the portfolio. 

Bill operated an in-house property management company focusing on great customer service maximizing resident retention and referrals.

In 2017; after a serious health issue, Bill decided to transition from an operator of their portfolio to large multifamily investments.  

Bill plans to utilize many years in the business by sharing larger, profitable investments with like-minded, active   investors along with providing access for passive investors seeking alternate, high yielding investments to diversify their portfolio.

 You may reach Bill by email at [email protected].

Greg and Darren welcome Gino Barbaro to The Road to 500 series. 

By the time an investor has reached 500 units, they are in a place where systems are set up, refined, and working well. Lessons have been learned and applied, and momentum is carrying them forward. We are tapping to these investors to share their knowledge to help you get to, and past, your first 500.

 Thanks for joining us as we discover the story of Gino’s journey on The Road to 500.

 One great takeaway – If it’s too hard, you don’t want it bad enough.

 Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro have amassed a portfolio of over 1,600 multifamily units with $100,000,000 in assets under management, and host one of the top multifamily real estate podcast on iTunes.

 What started out as a conversation between friends about the possibilities multifamily investing could bring their way exploded into a thriving real estate investment business that continues to grow in size and profitability. Jake and Gino are both experts in multifamily real estate investing and have achieved, in just a few years, the sort of financial freedom they always wanted but weren’t sure was possible. While a certain amount of timing, coincidence, and luck brought Jake and Gino together, their website, books, and an arsenal of podcasts help bring that same luck, and years of experience, to other investors. If a pizza guy and pharmaceutical sales rep can do it, other listeners can too!

 Unlike many Investing Consultants and so-called Business Coaches, Jake and Gino have done the work with the assets to back their success strategies while consistently reaching their goals.

 You can reach Gino at jakeandgino.com.
