The Andrew Hines Real Estate Investing Podcast

In E035, Sarah Larbi discusses how she became a BRRRR real estate investing expert and built her personal brand. Sarah works full time, co-runs a meet-up group called The REITE Club, co-hosts the REITE Club Podcast, hosts the Where Should I Invest Podcast and gets up at 4AM to help get it all done inside her typical day.

Sarah is a machine and she outlines one of the deals she's recently done in which she bought a property, renovated it and refinanced it and was able to pull out $39,000 on top of everything she'd put into the property. This is what I like to call "the Perfect BRRRR" and all I mean by that is that any time I can pull money out of a property beyond what I have into it, that property is actually helping me to buy more!

In E033, Michal Wach digs into his current duplex conversion in which he's projecting to make 48% return on investment. He also discusses his 10 year journey in real estate investment that just wasn't moving as quickly as he wanted to. Michal explained to me that when he got himself a real estate investor realtor that showed him systems and a relevant, current approach that was working, his progress started to accelerate greatly.

Michal attributes his ability to move much quicker in investing and to an extreme focus on networking and listening to podcasts. Through doing so he realized that there were creative strategies that he could implement to refinance and pull money out of each of his rental properties so that he could buy more. He's now begun to implement the BRRRR strategy of real estate investing (buy, renovate, rent, refinance, repeat) and has immediately seen the effect it can have on his progress.

In E029, Jeff Woods discusses his rags to riches story of how he started investing at the age of 23, skinned his knee a few times, got a coach, and then learned how to grow his portfolio from 0 to 100 between 2007 and 2013.

I personally love how Jeff focuses on mindset and how that had allowed him to grow. Jeff specially talks about how his family taught him what NOT to do and that he had to learn the strategies all on his own. Jeff flips, coaches, BRRRRs (buy, reno, rent, refinance, repeat AKA buy, fix, rent, refinance), develops and is an author.

I can personally say that I know many of Jeffs students and that they have nothing but good things to say. He was a very interesting guy to interview and he reminded me of some of the different things I need to continue to focus on in order to continue my growth as a real estate investor.

In E028, Jon Kepler walks through his real estate journey which began in the small southern Ontario town of Owen Sound. With a relatively sparsely populated area to call his investment home, Jon handles the trial and tribulations along with the benefits. Jon has called himself a high cash-flow and high cap rate investor and he told a story of how he created his financial at the age of 25, nearly 10 years ago as of the recording date of this podcast.

In the example given on the podcast, Jon talks about how he was able to use creative financing, specifically a vendor take-back mortgage, to achieve at 92% Return-On-Investment in his first year and enough cash-flow to officially make him financially independent (albeit on a lean budget).

Jon still believes in Owen Sound despite moving to St. Thomas Ontario, right near Andrew's primary investment hub in London. He has particularly focused on investing a multiple units including multifamily and mixed use and expects to continue to do so. His current portfolio totals 66 doors and he generally targets at least $1000/month cash flow on all new acquisitions at this point in his real estate investing career.

In E027, Dan Chiappetta tells his amazing and inspiring story of getting started young in real estate investing. Very few people buy a house before they even graduate school but Dan did. At the age of 21 years old, Dan bought his first investment property with one of his friends, having his parents as co signer, and proceeded to flip that house for $85,000 personal profit. When I heard this I had to do a double-take. It's almost difficult to imagine making that kind of profit at that age.

Since flipping his first property Dan has continued to acquire long term holds, perform BRRRR investments and flip properties. He's got his home plus 4 units right now and is actively working on a purchase of 6 more units. It will be interesting to watch Dan progress as he continues on into his 30s!

In E026, Scott Zandbergen talks shop about rent to own, duplex conversions, landlording for success (landlord hacks) and how to manage the tenanting process for minimal time invested. Scott only started investing in real estate in 2014 after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and he's never looked back since.

His initial investment property of choice was a "rent-to-own", which is an investment strategy where the landlord buys a house and puts tenants in it on a program to help the tenant to eventually buy the home. Scott was able to aquire a few nice properties with strategy but ultimately decided that investing in single family homes to convert into duplexes was a better long term strategy for him.

Scott is a wealth of information despite only a short 5 year tenure as a real estate investor. I guess for some people something just clicks!
