As a lender, however, there might be a few things to consider if you want to get the best out of these kinds of agreements without running into pesky problems. Chris Seveney acquaints us with these in this episode.

June 19, 2020One Rental At A Time: From Single House To Financial Freedom With Michael Zuber
Many of us get into real estate investing, thinking of it as a path to financial freedom. However, for those of us who are still working from nine to five, it can be quite difficult to embark on this path fully. How, then, can we grow our investing business and finally leave our full-time jobs? For Michael Zuber, the answer is through rental properties. In this episode, Chris Seveney invites him to share how he has grown his business, as written in his book, One Rental at a Time. Michael is the CEO and Chief Helper of ORaaT (One Rental at a Time) LLC, a company focused on helping busy professionals get started on the right foot via the Creation of Pride of Ownership Rentals. Here, Michael takes us into his journey, which started as being a full-time employee at 30 years old, growing from a single house to currently about 175 doors. He then shares some of the hurdles many investors who work full-time encounter and the ways they can avoid them. Furthermore, Michael gives great insights and advice on setting up a management company, finding good tenants, being consistent, and more. There is no such thing as an overnight success. If you are not there yet, then take courage in the fact that you’re simply on your way, one rental at a time.

We can only know so much by ourselves in this business that it seems unfortunate that we can’t ever utilize all there is that would make our investing game better. Fortunately, with experts who are ever so willing to educate the rest of us about the complex world of investing, navigating different opportunities when they present themselves could become easier.

In this episode, Chris Seveney invites over Brian Eastman of Safeguard Advisors, a boutique firm specializing in self-directed IRA and 401(k) plans, to share with us his knowledge about these accounts and how we can best leverage them in investing. He compares and contrasts IRAs and 401(k)s, talks about who can best benefit them, and explains the best strategies to use when dealing with your notes. Working towards a secure retirement in the future, Brian then gives out some of the things you need to be aware of with these accounts and advises you to always think for the benefit of the retirement plan.
