We love to hear inspiring real wealth stories and we’ve got one from a woman who immigrated from India at the age of 21. She became a respected environmental engineer but ditched that job for a career in real estate. She is now helping clients find properties and buying real estate for her own portfolio. In this episode, you’ll hear how her engineering background helped build her business as an agent, and also helped her with her own due diligence. Ranjani Ravi is the owner of Ranjani Ravi Realty in Seattle. She has helped more than 250 clients buy more than $200 million worth of real estate in the Seattle area. Previously, she worked as an Environmental Engineer at the EPA, and for other consulting firms. As part of her effort to educate her clients, she likes to make videos about real estate called “Sip and Learn.” You’ll find them on YouTube. Ranjani says she learned a lot about investing from our team at RealWealth. We have hundreds of free webinars, articles, podcasts, and other resources on our website.

Are you wondering which real estate asset class will be the most profitable in 2024 and beyond? In this episode, you’ll hear from an expert who began his real estate career right after the Global Financial Crisis or what many of us call the Great Recession in 2010. He worked in New York City with a fund that was acquiring all kinds of distressed assets so he’s had exposure to various real estate strategies, and to my great satisfaction, he sees residential properties as one of the asset classes with the most upside. Let me introduce Christian Gore. He’s the founder and managing partner of G1 Capital Partners, a private equity firm with some $9.5 billion transactions across the US. One of his primary concerns is the outsized demand for affordable housing, and how G1 can help meet that demand so that tenants can afford to live and work near their jobs. One of the metros that he’s focusing on is Dallas and the surrounding markets in Texas. He’s utilizing artificial intelligence tools to compile the kind of data he needs to make informed decisions, and is working on build-to-rent properties as a solution for renters who want an affordable, single-family lifestyle. Built-to-rent is the direction that we are taking at RealWealth. As a member, we can show you how to invest in a brand new property that is built to be a rental. You can find out more at realwealthshow.com. It’s free to join and once you’ve sign up, you can talk to an investment counselor who can point you in the right direction. You can also find out more about property teams working with us at our live event on Saturday, May 4th in San Francisco. Just go to realwealthshow.com and click on Connect and then Live Events.

Residential Real Estate Top Choice for this CRE Expert!

For many people, investing in real estate is a means to an end. You put money into real estate to earn your way toward financial freedom. But the big benefit is to have more time to do the things that really matter to you. Many investors like to spend more time with their families, but it could be anything that you’re passionate about. In this episode, you’ll hear from a veteran who’s passionate about helping other veterans.   Eric Upchurch is an Army Special Operations veteran with a passion for educating the military community on how to create long-term wealth through real estate investing. While serving our nation, he completed five combat deployments, managed a 27-man squad, and earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science.   Eric has also invested in thousands of multifamily, storage, mobile home park and student housing units as a General Partner over the last decade. And he currently serves as Co-Founder of Active Duty Passive Income (ADPI) and as Chair of the National Fundraising for the non-profit Veterans Community Project.   Among his other accomplishments: He’s a certified High Performance Coach, co-author of the book “Military House Hacking”, and a frequent guest on real estate podcasts with more than 100 appearances since 2019. His mission is to “educate, empower and to help people grow” with a specific goal to donate $1 million annual, and to end veteran homelessness in this decade.   At RealWealth, we also educate and empower people from all walks of life on the life-changing benefits of real estate investing.

One Man’s Real Estate Mission to End Veteran Homelessness

There's been a lot of debate about the state of the economy and so many questions about where we're headed next. Are we going to see banks tumbling because of commercial loans that can’t be refinanced? Are we headed into a recession because of high interest rates? What's going to happen with the housing market as demand keeps pushing home prices unaffordably higher? Are they ever going to come down?    In this episode, you’ll be getting answers to all those questions and many more from one of my all-time favorite guests, John Chang of Marcus & Millichap. I've been lucky enough to be on his side of the table during debates at the Best Ever Conference, which is coming up, by the way. If you haven't bought a ticket, do it. I'm not being paid to say this. I just love that conference and I will be there. John Chang will also be speaking there and you won't want to miss it. But he's also here with me on the Real Wealth Show.   So here's a little bit about John. He serves as the National Director of Research Services for Marcus and Millichap. He’s become a leading source of market analysis, insight and forecasting, and is responsible for the production of his company’s vast array of commercial real estate publications. They cover all major commercial property types including hotels, industrial, manufactured housing, multifamily, office, medical office, retail multi-tenant, retail single-tenant, self-storage and senior housing.   Join RealWealth for more information and insight about the single-family rental business, and be sure to subscribe to this podcast for some of the best expert interviews on the internet!   Thanks for listening!

Navigating the Commercial Real Estate Crisis, with John Chang of Marcus & Millichap

The Corporate Transparency Act is suddenly in the spotlight as a paperwork nightmare that just got shot down in court, but only for a specific group of individuals. Millions more will still be required to comply with the legislation, and the Federal Government has said it will appeal the ruling that protects members of that one group, so the fight is not over.   The Corporate Transparency Act is meant to control financial crimes like money laundering and the financing of terrorism, but it will also impact some five million above-board companies and individuals, such as real estate investors with LLC’s or other kinds of entities AND the CPA’s or attorneys who handle their affairs. And violating the Act could add up to tens of thousands of dollars in fines and jail time. There are also strict deadlines to comply.   In this episode, you’ll hear from syndication attorney Mauricio Rauld. He’s the founder and chairman of Premier Law Group and the host of The Real Estate Syndicator LIVE Show on YouTube. He’s one of the top syndication attorneys in the US helping real estate syndicators raise hundreds of millions of dollars for investors pursuing their financial freedom. And he will explain in detail how these new regulations could affect you!   Please remember to join RealWealth to learn what you need to know about real estate investing including the use of LLC’s as a popular asset protection strategy. And don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast to keep yourself informed from some of the most respected real estate experts in the country. And please check this podcast out on YouTube where you can watch the video version of this podcast in addition to lots more valuable content RealWealth posts on the regular!
