The Moneyball Real Estate Show

We’re back! And today we want to break down the current situation in the market and discuss the supply and demand issue. If you’re in the real estate space, you know supply is lower than ever!

We’re also seeing a lot of demand, and buyers often end up walking empty-handed. There are multiple offers for every bid and the space is getting increasingly competitive.

“If you can find supply, you should be taking swift action.” - Kevin Clayson 

And to think many were predicting a crash this time last year… But, if you’ve been observing the market in the last ten years, you could have guessed we would end up here.

With interest rates lower than ever and prices steadily increasing, the question for investors and buyers is always: How do we get our hands on the supply?

This is the question we want to answer today so tune in and let’s jump right into it!

Key Takeaways:

• We’re back on track (but here’s why we’ve been MIA) (01:17)
• How real estate functions in relation to supply and demand (04:21)
• Why are some markets across the country so hot right now (08:28)
• This situation was actually quite predictable (10:32)
• The perfect storm of factors that are making the market so tight (12:45)
• How our organization and reputation can give you a leg up (15:29)
• You should always listen to a real estate agent who’s in the know (19:40)
• What we see happening going forward (23:49)
• If you get your hands on some supply, take advantage of it (27:07)

After the 2020 elections, some of our clients have expressed concerns about the future of the real estate industry.

You know we avoid discussing politics unless it affects real estate directly. And since every administration change inevitably leaves a mark on the industry, we feel like this is an important topic to address at this moment.

So we know some people are worried about what the incoming Biden administration means for real estate. The most burning questions usually include the evection moratorium and the future of the 1031 exchange.

And even though we understand where that feeling might be coming from - Steve and I firmly believe there’s no cause for alarm.

“If I look at historically, who we are as Americans… I don’t see a huge cause for concern.” - Kevin Clayson

Steve and I are confident that real estate will continue to be the number one form of investing and wealth-building for a long, long time!

We’re basing our opinion on historical and political facts, official government statistics, and data from the field. 

These are all things we’ll be discussing today, so stick around!

Key Takeaways:

• The concerns some people have about the future of the real estate industry (2:56)
• How does the COVID crisis amplify this particular issue? (4:39)
• Addressing concerns regarding the evictions moratorium (6:36)
• Why single-family properties are performing great despite the COVID crisis (11:50)
• The trends causing the high demand for single-family properties (13:49)
• Why real estate investors cannot afford to operate from a place of fear (16:41)
• Is the new administration going to shut down the 1031 exchange? (19:17)
• Why we believe real estate will always be the best option for generating wealth (22:11)

I’m sure you’ve encountered some online ads from the so-called real estate “gurus”. 

They usually brag about how much money they have, flashing wads of cash in your face, or showing off expensive sports cars… 

All while promising their method will turn you into a real estate millionaire.

But is that really what being a millionaire is all about?

“There is a variety of ways for defining a real estate millionaire.” - Kevin Clayson

It’s true that real estate investing CAN help you become a millionaire. In fact, if you do it the right way - you WILL become a millionaire.

But you shouldn’t let the fake gurus define the kind of millionaire you want to be. You are the one that needs to decide what that means for you.

Are you focusing on high amounts of cash flow? Or is it about owning numerous valuable properties? Something else entirely? 

And how does any of it contribute to your goals and desired lifestyle?

Finding these answers is a great exercise, and today, we’re going to go through it together!

Steve and I will share our preferred definitions and point out the nuances between various real estate investing mindsets.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Key Takeaways:

• What it means to be a REAL real estate millionaire (1:29)
• Protect yourself from fake gurus! (3:33)
• Different definitions of being a real estate millionaire (7:12)
• What is a 1031 exchange, and how it could change in the future? (10:53)
• Why we’re such huge believers in real estate (14:25)
• Quantitative vs. qualitative approach to being a real estate millionaire (17:06)
• Financial freedom over any particular number (22:30)

Should you be doing your own property management?

It’s one of those evergreen questions, and Steve and I’ve been hearing it pretty regularly over the years. The idea behind it is very appealing... At least in theory.

And the reasoning is simple - If you do the work yourself, you won’t need to hire anyone to do it for you. Your expenses go down significantly each month, and you save quite a few bucks in the process. 

Sounds good on paper, but there’s still a lot of stuff hiding underneath the surface...

“When we are managing a property ourselves, we kind of forget that it is a business.” - Steve Earl

Can it be done? Sure, you definitely CAN do your own property management. But is it really the right move for your income replacement journey?

In today’s episode, Steve and I will dig deep into the often overlooked aspects of DIY property management. 

We’ll take a closer look at the day-to-day responsibilities that come with the role, lay out the advantages and the disadvantages, and hopefully, help you decide what works best for YOU.

Let’s dive in!

Key Takeaways:

• Should you be doing property management yourself? (2:14)
• What happens if you’re too lenient with your renters (4:04)
• Never forget that property management is a business (7:07)
• The challenges of handling repairs by yourself (9:15)
• Is the additional stress that comes with property management actually worth it? (11:11)
• How does hiring an expert help your real estate investment? (13:32)
• The many responsibilities of a property manager (15:34)
• Should you use a property manager? (19:26)

This week, I’m thrilled to be joined by Mike Fritz, the CEO of Titanium Captial Investments, and a dear, dear friend. 

Mike and I met a while back through a mastermind. We’ve been close ever since, bonded by our mutual passion for helping people create freedom through real estate investing.

In previous episodes, we’ve talked a lot about how and why we prefer investing in single-family residences. And one of the reasons I was so excited about having Mike on the show is that his way of going about it is somewhat different. 

Even though we generally see eye-to-eye on a whole range of income replacement topics, Mike’s preferred way of achieving it is through multi-family real estate.

Through exploring an alternative perspective on the show, we’re hoping to underline one of the biggest truths about real estate investing. 

“People make money in all kinds of real estate!” - Mike Fritz

At the end of the day, your income replacement journey is always going to be your own. You alone get to decide what it’s going to look like.

I hope you enjoy today’s episode, and if you ever feel like chatting about any of the topics we’ve covered here - we’re always just a phone call away!

http://dfy-realestate.com/

Key Takeaways:

• How Mike and I first met (3:32)
• What Mike loves most about income replacement through real estate (6:58)
• Mike’s mission and how real estate investing is allowing him to fulfill it (11:46)
• How Mike got into real estate (13:45)
• Why you should NEVER fall into the trap of comparing your real estate story to others (19:40)
• Mike’s advice for getting started with real estate investing (21:59)
• What is Mike’s “Freedom Number” all about? (26:44)
• A bonus tip for people who are just starting out with real estate (29:09)
• The advantages of multi-family investing (32:13)
• You can make money with all kinds of real estate (+ examples) (35:59)

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we dedicate this episode to discussing a topic very near and dear to my heart - gratitude.

Years ago, I set out to write a book on this very subject. As I was going through some deeply challenging times, the word itself just came to me out of nowhere!  

I literally felt compelled to write a book about gratitude, and the question I wanted to answer was pretty straightforward. 

“It’s easy to be thankful when things go your way. But what about the times when they don’t?” - Kevin Clayson

And so I went on this long, incredible journey, where after a lot of research and soul-searching, I ended up completely reinventing my perspective on everyday life. 

Tune into this episode as I take on the guest role and share my philosophy on gratitude. I’ll show you how you can summon it at literally ANY moment in life - just like a simple FLIP of a switch!

We’re also going to discuss how showing gratitude when experiencing real estate investing challenges can actually help you get better results.

As a gift and a thank you for all of your amazing support, we’ve set up a page where you’ll be able to download my full audiobook “FLIP the Gratitude Switch” - totally free!

https://dfy-realestate.com/gratitude

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone!

Key Takeaways:

• Introducing our special guest for this week - Kevin Clayson! (1:11)
• How I ended up writing a book about gratitude (3:42)
• My story of hitting rock bottom (7:48)
• Why I think spreading this message of gratitude is so important (10:58)
• The story behind naming the book (“FLIP the Gratitude Switch”) (14:01)

For today’s episode, Steve and I wanted to dedicate some time to discuss our income replacement philosophy a bit deeper.

We believe our approach of replacing your income one property at a time is unique. One of the things we love most about it is that it can be adapted and planned out to fit ANY individual situation perfectly.

What you want to accomplish and where you are financially will shape your journey. Two crucial factors, both of which considered in our approach.

Still, there IS something universal for everyone across the board. Income replacement needs to be considered in the long-term.

“Real estate requires discipline, and it requires time.” - Kevin Clayson

The actual length of the journey will vary, but we need to accept it’s kind of a marathon...

And today, we’re going to use this marathon analogy to explain the various aspects of our income replacement philosophy. 

Hopefully, after this episode, you will all have a much more delicate understanding of why we do what we do here at Done For You.

One last thing before we get into the show...

We’re also starting a free monthly webinar series, so make sure to check out our website for more information!
