January 21, 2025 Multifamily Mastery: Bill Hamel’s Secrets to Thriving in a Competitive Market
Episode 52 – Bill Hamel

“And it's a challenge down there. You can't sugarcoat it. And once again, like many things in this business, being familiar with your market and having relationships in your market, I think makes the difference. I've heard conversations with people that aren't as familiar in their market or have as much of a footprint in the market. And no matter how hard they try, they can't get a premium that seems anywhere reasonable. And then you see other operators that are utilizing some of these similar techniques, as the blanket policy, and making it a heck of a lot more palatable.”

Join me this week as I interview Bill Hamel, the founder of Hamel Real Estate. Bill has a 30-year track record of success with investing in real estate. Since 2019, he has narrowed his focus to multifamily property acquisition across New York, Florida, and Tennessee. Throughout his career, Bill has consistently expanded his portfolio, reaching a cumulative $70 million in properties.

Bill and I discuss:

· His journey from restaurant cook to real estate investor
· Transitioning from smaller properties to multifamily investments
· The value of mastermind groups
· Finding the right investment partners
· Releasing control and building trust in management
· Navigating debt and underwriting challenges
· Insurance strategies for multifamily properties

January 14, 2025 From Marine Corps to Mobile Home Mogul: Joseph Jackson’s Real Estate Journey
Episode 51 – Joseph Jackson

“So, since I started all this, my kids started homeschooling, right? And so part of their homeschooling though is that I get them involved in my business. Teaching them Excel spreadsheets to, you know… I go talk to a lawyer, I go talk to a broker, I go down to some of our parks, so they're getting the exposure of speaking to all these different types of people and different aspects of business. Every chance I get, I pass down as much knowledge as I can about this business and about money and about what we're trying to do and how we're working it. That way they can always understand that money is a tool and it's not to be viewed any other way than that. Money's not everything, but money definitely helps.”

Join me this week as I interview Joseph Jackson, general partner of Prime Oak Capital and co-founder of Valhalla Investment Group, a MHP real estate investment firm. Joseph comes from a family of general contractors and mobile home park owners. After serving over 20 years in the United States Marine Corps, he returned to his roots as an MHP owner and has successfully scaled his partnerships to 5 mobile home parks, including one hosting over 250 pads.

Joseph and I discuss:

· Growing up in his grandparents’ mobile home park
· How his military background has influenced his real estate journey
· Building partnerships and creating opportunities
· Management strategies for large MHPs
· The importance of a strong team with large properties
· Challenges and lessons learned with large MHPs
· Financial literacy and involving his children in the business

January 07, 2025 Risk and Reward: Justin Moy on Fund Management and Passive Investing
Episode 50 – Justin Moy

"I invest and my investing thesis is for work optionality. You know, I want you to be able to walk away from your job with passive income. And there's generally two reasons why people do it. It's because first they want to go retire on a beach somewhere in their 30s or 40s, which is great, or because they want to take bigger risk. Whether it's working at an exciting startup where a lot of your comp is equity-based or doing your own deals, starting your own business. Cause now you can start a business and not work a regular job, and not even really need the business to do well, right? Cause all your bills are paid for. So yes, you can expose yourself to more risk when you have that income coming in. It's just about getting there."

Join me this week as I interview Justin Moy, the founder of Presidents Club Investors and host of the Passive Real Estate Strategies podcast. Justin started his journey as a real estate agent and owner, but after burning out, he explored strategies to invest in real estate passively. With 10 years of experience in the real estate industry as an owner, investor, and syndicator, Justin now raises funds for real estate deals from a fund management perspective. Specializing in the fund-to-fund model, Justin helps high-performing professionals invest in commercial and multifamily real estate that provides cash flow, appreciation, and favorable tax benefits.

Justin and I discuss:

· His transition to fund management
· How the fund-to-fund model works
· The importance of reputation in fund management
· Tax abatement strategies with multifamily properties
· Rent regulations and tax benefits
· Navigating value-add deals and risks
· Access and returns on the fund-to-fund model
· The risks and liquidity of debt funds
· Investment strategies to balance risk and income
· Learning from investment experiences

December 31, 2024From E-Commerce to Expanding Empire: STR Secrets from Jacobo Hernandez
Episode 49 – Jacobo Hernandez

“So, a lot of people usually think a market is good, but then they don't look into that specific market to see what are the listings or the property types that are actually doing well. Because if you go for one- or two-bedroom apartments, it's super saturated. I don't have the exact numbers with me here, but I think the listing distribution that we found around those days was that between like one, two, three-, or four-bedrooms apartments or houses, that was more than 90% of all the listings. When you get above that it was decreasing and decreasing. Six-bedroom properties were 2% of all the listings in South Florida. So, you're finding that market gap, that blue ocean in the market and you're acquiring based on that, right? So that was our investment thesis.”

Join me this week as I interview Jacobo Hernandez, founder of FreedomVest. As a serial entrepreneur, Jacobo started his journey while studying business in college. While still in school, he built an e-commerce brand centered on wedding gifts that surpassed seven figures in the first 12 months. Deciding that he wanted to move away from selling products and move into real estate, he sold his e-commerce business and bought his first short-term rental property. Applying all the skills he learned from his e-commerce business; Jacobo has built a short-term rental portfolio surpassing $10 million in assets. Now with FreedomVest Capital, he is empowering others by sharing his secrets on how to invest and diversify income streams through Airbnbs and boutique hotels.

Jacobo and I discuss:
His experiences running an e-commerce business
His transition from e-commerce to real estate
Applying lessons learned from e-commerce to real estate strategies
Using data to find the market gaps
Scaling his short-term rental business
Forced appreciation on short-term rental properties
His transition to boutique hotels
His new book – Short-Term Rentals Secrets

December 24, 2024 28,000 Days to Live: How Maurice Philogene Defined His Own Success
Episode 48 – Maurice Philogene

“Why is it that most climb up the mountain through age 20 to 40, and they just sit there at the top? They just sit there. But your inner being, your core, your source, your God - if you want to call it that – your instinct, your gut is saying I don't want to be the executive VP. I want to go be a pottery specialist? But they don't do it because they're worried about the opinions of peers, coworkers, neighbors and especially family telling them, ‘What are you doing? You already have it good. Why would you shift?’ Because we only have this one life.There's 28,000 days in the average lifetime. I have 10,958 according to that scale left. Of course I'm gonna go live my way and I just stopped listening to people telling me how to live and started just doing ever since I was age 21.”

Join me this week as I interview Maurice Philogene, an investor, entrepreneur, coach, and philanthropist who maintained four parallel careers for two decades. Maurice is the founder and host of the Try Life On Podcast, where he offers lifestyle design and financial freedom coaching. He is the co-founder and managing partner of Quattro Capital, an investment firm focusing on purposeful real estate investments. At the age of 15, while traveling internationally, Maurice discovered the possibilities of worldwide life and from there began designing the life he wanted to live using real estate and his W-2 careers as tools to be successful on his own terms.

Maurice and I discuss:

· His journey, experiences, and life chapters in real estate
· Transitioning to multifamily, scaling businesses, and building partnerships
· The value of a business coach
· Investing and doing business internationally in Cypress
· The Try Life On Podcast and his mission to help others design their lives

December 17, 2024The AirBNB Playbook: Achieving Success in the STR Investment Market with Taylor Jones
Episode 47 – Taylor Jones

"Do I want small? Do I want big? Do I want coastal mountain, lake, urban? Do I want more turnkey or, you know, more of a gut reno value add? How much do I want to maximize tax savings versus cash flow? Do you wanna maximize cashflow or real estate appreciation or tax benefit? Because there is no such thing as getting all three maximized in a market. That doesn't exist. If it did, everybody would buy there and then that market would suck tomorrow. So you kinda have to figure out where do you wanna give? Do you care about the long-term appreciation? Do you care about the tax benefit? Or do you just want this to be a kick-ass ATM machine that just prints money for you?"
Join me this week as I interview Taylor Jones, Head of Acquisitions for STR Search. Taylor started his career in baseball and eventually transitioned into real estate during COVID. Over the past few years, Taylor has become an expert in short-term rentals (STRs) and acquisitions. He has acquired an Airbnb portfolio worth over $92 million and is currently helping other investors navigate the STR market to find investments that help them reach their personal goals.

Taylor and I discuss:
The financial factors of Airbnb investments
Operational management of STRs
Owner-managed rentals versus hiring personnel
Tax benefits and investment strategies with STRs
Navigating the STR market and finding the right property

December 11, 2024Maximizing Income Streams: Jeff Ervick's Guide to Multifamily Investments
Episode 46 - Jeff Ervick

"I didn't get into real estate to get out of my W2. I got it to complement my W2. I love to add multiple streams of income into my portfolio, so to speak. And so my entire life is a portfolio, right? So what do I have? I've got a W-2 job, right? I've got different asset classes in real estate. I've got different lending businesses. I do different types of policies and so forth. I've got a lot of things that kind of come together to be able to diversify my own portfolio. But I got into real estate mainly because I just have a love for it. It's like a passion of mine. I don't know. I guess most people do it because they want to get out of their job. I'm doing it because I want to keep both my job and build a portfolio. So yeah, it's wild."

Join me this week as I interview Jeff Ervick, the co-founder and managing partner of Valoris Capital Partner. With over 20 years of experience in the Information Technology sector, Jeff has built expertise in sales, successfully closing multi-million-dollar deals and driving business growth. Since 2017, he has been actively involved in real estate investing, managing a diverse portfolio that includes single-family rentals, short-term rentals (STRs), private and hard money lending, and multiple limited partnership deals, totaling over $160 million in value and 1,700+ multi-family doors under management and development. Currently, Jeff is focused on scaling his multifamily investment pipeline and helping investors build generational wealth outside of their traditional W2 jobs.

Balancing W2 Job and Real Estate Investments

December 03, 2024 The Power of Partnerships: Bradley Seidel on Scaling Real Estate with the Right Team
Episode 45 – Bradley Seidel

“It's the team, right? You're like, how does someone who has a military background, who's been flying for 11 years, then hops into a company like this, it's because of the team that I surrounded myself with. And that was a big part. You can't do this by yourself. You can't even come close to the scale that we're doing right now… by yourself. It just can't be done. And I don't care who you are. You can't learn fast enough... You have to find your partners because what have you learned from doing this? Oh, my gosh, countless stuff. Let's learn from the others, and not learn from your own mistakes, right? That's the big piece.”

Join me this week as I interview Bradley Seidel, a retired U.S. Navy Pilot, who has transitioned from military service to a thriving career in real estate. Brad is the Chief Investment Officer for Burton Capital Group, a company focused on Class A multifamily student housing properties. With a passion for creating innovative affordable housing solutions, Brad is also the founder of Tiny Home Geniuses, a company he runs alongside his wife, helping homeowners and real estate investors of all experience levels find financial freedom with tiny home communities and accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
Bradley and I discuss:

· His journey from the military to real estate
· Navigating properties in the student housing market
· The importance of having a strategically selected team
· Networking and putting yourself out there
· Building trust and a reputation
· His side business: Tiny Home Geniuses

· Legislation, grants, and financing for ADUs

November 26, 2024From Sewage to Success: Overcoming Septic Tanks, Potholes, and Challenges in Mobile Home Parks with Tyler Lekas
"If you don't increase rents, they can't ask more of you on the management side, because you can't pay anybody. Right? And you can't pay for infrastructure. And you can't pay to keep the property up. And you can't pay for new improvements because the government is constantly raising taxes on us. Insurance is constantly raising their rates. Our plumbers are constantly raising their rates, etcetera. So as the lot rents get higher, it's not pretty. I don't like it any more than anybody else does as prices go up. But we get more professional management, right? And that's better for the residents. We get more amenities, which is better for the residents. The parks stay around."

Join me this week as I interview Tyler Lekas, a principal operator at MHCI Group, a leading firm specializing in the acquisition of Manufactured Housing Communities (MHCs). With a strong background in financial advising, having started his career at First Investors and Stifel Nicolaus, Tyler has transitioned his expertise into the world of real estate investment. Since 2017, he has been acquiring and managing MHCs, and by 2018, he had already purchased his first 55-space park in Florida. Today, Tyler and his team at MHCI Group have expanded to own over 750 units across the Southeast, making them the largest private owner of mobile home parks in Arkansas.

November 19, 2024 Profiting with Partnerships and Scaling with Systems: AJ Smith's Path to Financial Freedom
Episode 43 with AJ Smith

"I think that financial freedom is very much suited to the individual. It's something that each person may define for themselves. But for me, I think it's that last one. Right? I had initially - I think in my brain like - it's the freedom to work for yourself, and I personally reached that level, you know, and I've enjoyed it. But, I think that as you go along in the journey, you also start to look for freedom to give back to the community, to lift up your friends and family, to do some of the other things that maybe you can't do if you're just kind of focused on base level survival for yourself and your family. And having the ability to do those things, I think is another another level, even above what we've talked about as well."
Join me this week as I interview AJ Smith, the founder of Goldsmith Properties, LLC. AJ started his real estate journey a month out of college, analyzing over 700 deals before purchasing his first property. After a few years of working a W-2 while house hacking and flipping smaller multifamily spaces, he was ready to scale his portfolio and take on larger commercial real estate deals. With a focus on high-growth, landlord-friendly markets like Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Northwest Arkansas, AJ has successfully turned underperforming properties into profitable assets, including a recent project that increased rental income by over 50%. His skill in value-add strategies and his expertise in managing teams and systems have helped him build a diverse portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties. AJ’s passion for real estate and disciplined management continues to drive his success, providing solid returns for investors and positioning Goldsmith Properties as a leader in the market.
AJ and I discuss:
· His journey from accounting and store management to real estate
· Flipping houses: strategies and challenges
· Scaling his portfolio to larger commercial real estate deals
· The power of structuring partnerships
· Building systems and delegating responsibilities
· Market focus and in-house construction
· How strong systems and procedures can accelerate your business
· Asset management and investor relations
· Defining financial freedom and success
