Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Investor Podcast

One of the hottest real estate asset classes right now is industrial. On the surface, industrial investment sounds great – you have a few tenants who pay their rent, all the bills, and sometimes even the property tax. But is it as easy as that?

My guest today believes that Industrial is the hidden ATM of real estate investing.

Shannon Robnett is a real estate developer with a principal focus on multifamily and industrial real estate in the greater Boise, Idaho area. He's been in this market for over 27 years, he's a 2nd generation builder and developer, and has been involved in over $425 million of construction projects.

Today Shannon breaks down the numbers and reasons why Industrial is such a strong asset class. You'll learn what type he builds, the tenants he prefers, and the types of financing he uses.

There's a lot of speculation right now about the state of the real estate market and the outlook for multifamily apartments. Will we see a steep drop in value, or will sales pick back up once interest rates stabilize? And what direction will we see rents go?

My guest today believes we will see a rise in demand for multifamily housing along with higher rents. As a builder, developer, and investor, he's in a position to know.

Eric Garrett is the Founder and CEO of The Garret Companies, ranked as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. Since 1999, Eric has owned, developed, and delivered over 73 projects in 17 states totaling over 16,000 units and in excess of $3.5 billion in valuation.

Today Eric discusses the type of apartment developments he builds, what he looks for in his site selection, and how he's able to control costs by controlling his labor and material supply. Eric will also share why he believes the simple supply and demand equation will lead to higher rent increases.

Many real estate investors and entrepreneurs have discovered that finding and navigating the health insurance marketplace can be time-consuming and difficult.

Compounding that difficulty is the open enrollment period, which only occurs for several months out of the year.

Ever since I left my W2 job ten years ago, I've relied on Chad Creasey from RCB & Associates to help me cut through the confusion and find the best health insurance provider and policy for myself and my family.

I asked Chad to join us for this episode of Next Level Thursday to discuss the open enrollment period and what you need to know in order to find the best policy for your circumstances.

If you're in need of help with your health Insurance policy in Michigan or Georgia, you can contact Chad by phone or website:

I've heard horror stories from some of my investor friends in Texas who saw their property insurance costs go from $350 a door to $1,500 a door over the past year.

That made me happy to be investing in Michigan, which is much more of a climate haven that isn't affected as much by the costs of the extreme weather that we're seeing in Texas, Florida, and other coastal states.

But then my insurance company notified me that they weren't going to renew my $7,500 policy on a 37-unit I own here in Grand Rapids. The next best price we could find was $23,000!

That's almost a 200% increase overnight.

Mike Murphy from Brouwers Insurance Agency is my insurance broker on the majority of my portfolio. I invited him to this week's episode of Next Level Thursday to share his insight into the skyrocketing costs we're seeing in the property insurance world.

Mike is going to let us know what to expect with our policies, what we can do to offset the higher costs, and his expectations for 2024.

Spend the night with me in a haunted house!

Welcome to part 2 of our Halloween series on haunted houses, apparitions, paranormal experiences, and the roommates who don't pay rent and can't be evicted.

In part one (episode #251) you were introduced to a retired reverend who has been experiencing paranormal activity and communicating with the dead since his near-death experience at the age of 5. You also met several of his paranormal research assistants and heard their stories as well.

In this episode we take you on a ghost hunting adventure to a haunted house in the historic district of Bay City Michigan. You'll find out the strange reasons we were brought there in the first place, how the homeowner was almost pushed off a ladder by a ghost, and what happened that night after 2:00 am that is so strange, and so hard to explain, that I can't wait to share it with you.

If you're experiencing paranormal activity in your home, rental property, or place of business, you can contact Reverend Hunter through his publisher at https://thunderbaypressmichigan.com.

In continuation of our celebration of all things Halloween, it's time to bring back this incredible episode we recorded three years ago...

Welcome to our special Halloween edition with hair-raising stories about haunted houses, apparitions, paranormal experiences, and the roommates who don't pay rent, and can't be evicted. We did something similar 3 years ago on episode #94 and it was one of my favorite all-time episodes. Today we go even deeper into paranormal phenomenon and I know you're going to love this incredibly thrilling episode!

I recorded so many great stories that I had to break them up into two episodes: In part one you'll meet a group of paranormal researchers and the retired reverend who has brought them together. In part two you'll get to accompany me to a real-life haunted house in Bay City, Michigan.

I want to warn you that some of these stories will frighten you, and some may even terrify you. If you're easily scared or prone to nightmares, then this is not the episode for you. Aside from the sound effects I've added in, everything you're about to hear is the actual professed experiences of the people involved. These are real people, with real stories of paranormal events that can't be explained, and are even harder to understand.

If you own a home, rental property, or business that is haunted or experiencing paranormal activity, then Reverend Hunter would like to hear from you. You can contact him through his publisher at Thunder Bay Press:
