The REI Diamonds Show-Real Estate Investment Podcast

Episode: How to Buy a House with No Money Down with Tim Padavic

Guest: Tim Padavic is the Vice President of The Federal Savings Bank. He’s licensed to lend in all 50 states.

Big Idea: Offering Your Retail Buyer “No Money Down” Wins More Deals (for Agents) & Keeps More Money in YOUR Pocket (for Flippers). Buying a house with no money down allows more buyers to participate in the red-hot real estate market. Recent surveys show the reason many buyers remain on the sideline is a limited savings for the down payment.

Agents & buyers obviously benefit by knowing how to buy house with no money down. Fix & Flip investors also benefit because they can offer buyers of their projects the option of no-or certainly very low money down.

If you’re flipping houses and use a real estate agent to sell your flips-you can share this episode & Tim’s contact info as a resource they might use in selling your house at a higher price. Think about it-if a buyer doesn’t need any money down-or any seller credits for down payment assistance, that money stays in YOUR pocket. Worth noting-this no money down strategy is only applicable on Owner Occupied residential property.

https://reidiamonds.com/how-to-buy-a-house-with-no-money-down-with-tim-padavic/

Dan Breslin: This episode was created for you. Agents and buyers obviously benefit by knowing how to buy a house with no money down and fix-and-flip investors also benefit because they can offer the buyers of their projects—the houses they’ve fixed to flip—the option of no money down or certainly very low money down financing. That’s the topic today.

And if you’re flipping houses and you use a real estate agent to sell those flips, I suggest that you share this episode and Tim Padavic’s contact info at the end as a resource that they might use in selling your house at a higher price. Think about it. If a buyer doesn’t need any money down or any seller credits to cover closing costs or down payment assistance, the money stays in your pocket. I’m not getting paid for this. Tim’s not kicking me anything back. I just know Tim from my network. He’s a valuable resource for me on my flips and he is licensed in all 50 states so I invited him to come on the show as a value-add to you, the valued member of my network.

Worth noting here before we get into the interview, this no money down strategy is only applicable on owner-occupied residential property. So, this is for owner-occupied properties. Tim, this episode, we do not discuss investor financing on this episode. Tim does not even get into investor financing. He specializes in homeowners looking to buy houses in which to live and that’s where the no money down financing mechanism that we’re going to discuss here today works. Ready to get started? Tim Padavic, welcome to the REI Diamond Show.

Tim: In regards to how I get started, in ’98, I got started brokering loans. We actually did most of our business in the refinance and remodel business. We helped rehabbers remodel homes for the homebuyer or the homeowner and we would lower their payment and get them their home improvement, all the way until about 2008 when the collapse happened and then I’ve been doing purchases ever since.

And most of my purchases, if not all of them, my specialty is people getting into their home either for the first time or maybe a move. They don’t really work with investors or second homes or anything like that. It’s not that I wouldn’t it, it’s just not my spec(continued)

Episode: Investing in Multi Family Properties-150 to 300 Unit Deals with Chris Larsen

Guest: Chris Larsen is the founder & managing partner of Next Level Income. He’s been syndicating multi family property deals since 2016 and raised more than $15 million over $150 Million in acquisitions.

Big Idea: Buying High Quality Assets when No One Else Wants them Can Generate Huge Wins. Chris’ company is focused on identifying high yield passive investments ranging from real estate to oil & gas leases. Specific to oil & gas, Warren Buffett recently amassed a HUGE position in Chevron leveraging this same principal. Everyone was selling off oil due to the Pandemic and the coming of electric cars.

Big money can be made if you know what you’re doing. On this episode we discuss this principal as well as dive into his asset selection process, favorite multifamily markets, & some risk mitigation strategies that served Chris well during the recent pandemic.

Dan Breslin: Chris Larson is the founder and managing partner of Next-Level Income. He is been syndicating multifamily property deals since 2016 and raised more than $15 million over $150 million in acquisitions. Chris’s Company is focused on identifying high yield passive investments ranging from real estate to oil and gas leases. All in this episode, we dive into his asset selection process, favorite multifamily markets, and some risk mitigation strategies that served Chris well during the recent pandemic, as well as some other topics. Let’s get right to it.

All right, Chris Larson. Welcome to the REI Diamond show. How are you doing today?

Chris Larson: Dan, I am great. I am excited to be here with you. Thank you.

Dan: Nice. It is always looking forward to this high-volume multi-millions of dollars raised and you know conversations I get to have with guests like you, but you know for anyone who does not know your name already maybe does not know about your podcast. You kind of want to talk about maybe the evolution of your career, starting with let’s say you are first deal and then ending with your current business model Chris.

Chris: That sounds great. So I love real estate, I set off to be an investor when I was really a teenager. It is kind of a long story short. I race bicycles. I started racing when I was 14, and I will never forget that feeling of freedom I had when I first left my neighborhood on my bicycle. And it really instilled in me this ability to kind of go where I wanted to and do what I wanted, and when I was younger that meant racing my bike. And I got my driver’s license, I was excited to get my driver’s license so I could drive to races outside of the state. And so I was traveling, when I was 16 years old, up and down the East Coast across the country, and plans raced even at a national level. Until I was in college, and at that point, I want to be a professional cyclist.

I went to Virginia Tech I was doing an engineering degree and no I did not want to be an engineer, but I also did not want to be poor. And if anyone knows anything about cycling, they know those bike racers are pretty poor unless you are racing in Europe, which is a very very small portion. You just do not make a lot of money, like a lot of professional sports. So I was entrepreneurial. I would do different things in college, but I quit cycling after my best friend, my training partner my roommate, passed away. He had a massive brain hemorrhage. And spend another year kind of poured my heart and soul into the sport, but I realized I was not happy. I still wanted that sense of freedom and I thought well, I am not going to race my bike anymore. I am not going to be an engineer, What am I going to do?

I started day trading in the stock market in the late 90s, which there are a lot of similarities today Dan, in my opinion between the market than in the market now. This is very exciting also very stressful. So here you take a junior, 20 years old in college making $5,000 a month day trading but could not sleep at night. And one morning at 3 a.m, I just remember thinking, what the hell am I doing? And I start, I kept reading books. I have always been an avid reader and I started learning about real estate.

Episode: Land Entitlement Process for Multi Family Development with Reed

Guest: Reed Goossens is the host of the popular podcast “Investing in the U.S.” and also author of the book by the same name. Reed was an engineer with experience in large scale development including infrastructure for the London Olympics in 2012. He now focuses on buying, building, & operating large multi-family assets throughout the U.S.

Big Idea: “Even though a lot of institutional dollars have started to become big, big players in the game-we’re still selling to a group that is more entrepreneurial like we are. We left meat on the bone” Reed describes being able to sell the deal for MORE money than if he were to complete the renovation on the other 70% of the units. A better bang for the buck by NOT finishing the deal.

https://reidiamonds.com/land-entitlement-process-for-multi-family-development-with-reed-goossens/

Dan: I was listening to a multifamily investing podcast the other day and one of the members that was a, I guess on the show, I cannot remember what show it was, had 4 or 5,000 units. He sounded like he was probably in his late 60s or early 70s. So he had this nice solid multifamily career and he was looking back and he said that around the area now from what he is hearing, like the big names Blackstone and these are private equity Wall Street types. They are not afraid of the floating rates. They do not think that rate risk is going to be a realistic threat certainly at any point in time 2, 5, 7, or 10-year term that these big smart money investors are supposed to be doing business. So he kind of shared the same sentiment as you and just did not view that as much of a risk. I mean, who knows who is right. So 12 deals in what? What is your exit strategy? Do you end up selling these at any point? Have you sold any of the deals that you have done or are you still in hold periods on everything?

Reed: No, good question. We start our first deals were in 2000, 2016, early 2017. I have been involved in multifamily as a Co-GP prior to that. So probably 2 or 3 years prior to that early 2014 I got started, but I really started my own shop at the end of 2016. So I have been into the 8 years in syndication space and then in terms of your exit strategies, yes, we are actually coming to exit a couple of deals right now, and they are the deals that have the most flexibility on the debt, right? The deal we just spoke about that it was speaking to you back and previously in 2018. I cannot exit that deal because I have gone over big prepay, right? Unless someone to come and assume the deal, the deal is not sucking wind by any means of making money from my investors, making cash flow. So just keep it, we write out the prepay, but we have another two sets of deals. The billboard as a portfolio and we have to bridge on those deals and we have had them for about two and a half years now. We are going to, we sort of popped your head up thinking, okay, we can refile here or we can sell. We popped her head up and did a bit of an off-market type of shop around and we have got the number we wanted to hit and for this time period they give a good pretty solid return for investors and we decided to execute on the sale. If no one had taken bit at the number we wanted, then we would have gone for a refile, but the opportunity to exit at missable points along the deal is exactly what we assess every single day on over to go but on a very consistent basis to understand where the markets out and particularly with cap rate compression, compressing as interest rates continue to go lower that is you seen that shock wave across the country in terms of multifamily particularly in our area of Central Texas. So yes, we constantly look at what is the best opportunity to exit for deal for investors. A little bit selfishly, we as a company, myself, my business partner Andrew and I, as we are growing to 12 and hopefully going to go double the portfolio in the next 3 to 5 years, people are starting to ask. Where is your schemes on the wall, where your runs on the board, and that is where you go to start pointing to the cycle deals, and how would it go, what was the returns, and we are really happy to say that we have finally come into the first set of deals that are selling and got to make a nice healthy little profit for all our investors involved?

Episode: Reverse Wholesaling with Kent Clothier of REWW

Guest: Kent Clothier is the Founder & CEO of Real Estate World Wide and creator of the Boardroom Mastermind. Kent has purchased & sold more than 5,000 properties since 2005.

Big Idea: “If I had to go make $100,000 this month, what would I do? Whatever the answer to that question-why aren’t you doing it?” Kent prompts his own further success asking this question of himself often. Kent asked me this question about 10 years ago, and my answer was Diamond Equity.

In 2020, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac reported originating approx. $4.1 Trillion in mortgage loans. No doubt, we have all witness a very vibrant & hot market. They have forecasted $2.7 Trillion for 2021, most likely due to the low inventory situation. How can you position yourself to profit from this constrained market? Kent & I discuss this and other trends on this week’s episode.

Dan Breslin: Welcome to The R.E.I. Diamond show. I am your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 185 on reverse wholesaling with Kent Clothier of REWW. If you are into building wealth through real estate investing, congratulations you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers, invite them on the show, and then draw out the jewels of wisdom. Those tactics, mindsets, and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate.

Today’s guest is Kent Clothier, the founder and CEO of Real Estate Worldwide. Real estate worldwide, also known as REWW, operates three core units. First is the Academy, the online education platform. Second is S.M.A.R.T., an online real estate investor data source, and the third is the Boardroom Mastermind, and Kent is a real estate investor first and foremost, and having purchased and sold more than 5,000 properties since 2005.

So, today’s episode is one that I have personally been looking forward to for years, almost since I started the podcast. Kent is one of the early single-family real estate investor thought leaders who I personally paid attention to. We are talking 12 years now. And during the episode, you are going to hear my personal experience with Kent, including some watershed moments of my career, some like real big turning points that led me to where I am today, and those moments were spurred by ideas that Kent shared way way back in my career. And he also shares them again in a few moments. Ready to roll?

Dan: All right, cool. Welcome to the The R.E.I. Diamonds Show. Kent, how are you doing today?

Kent Clothier: I am doing good, brother. Thanks for having me.

Dan: Yeah, for sure. Appreciate you blocking out the time to be with us. Just so the listeners who might not know who you already are, can you give us the background how you got started in real estate and what your primary business model looks like today?

Kent: Yes. So, I have been doing it now for 18 years. Got started in the industry back in December of 2002, started wholesaling a few houses, got really good at it over the years. Started flipping, started wholesaling hundreds of houses a year down in South Florida. Before I knew it, we turned it into a turnkey operation back before that phrase even existed, and that company still operates today. My two brothers and my father run it based out of Memphis, Tennessee, it is called REI Nation. We basically turnkey about 800 properties a year in nine different cities, managed about 7,500 properties for our investors. So, it is our kind of primary real estate core business there. And on the flip side of that, I have been in the training education software space showing other investors how to do it for the last 15 years. And so back in 2006, I started a company called Real Estate Worldwide. Started showing people kind of what I had figured out, which was a process called reverse whole selling, and put together a lot of tools to show people how to be really successful at it, and happy to say that we have had about 60,000 people go through our education over the years now, a little over 60,000. And the latest and greatest thing that I am personally working on as I am out here really kind of evangelizing that now is the time to really start getting into the seller financing space just because of all the things that are happening in the current real estate market.

Kent & I Discuss Current Real Estate Investor Trends:
• Reverse Wholesaling
• The Extraction of $1.4 Trillion from U.S. Real Estate
• How to Profit from that Capital Extraction

If you’re in the building wealth through real estate investing, congratulations, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers invite them on the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom those tactics mindsets and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate.

Today we are joined by Avery Carl. Avery runs the Short Term Shop, a high-volume boutique real-estate firm focused on short-term vacation rentals. We cover exactly what’s needed to get into and profitably operate a vacation rental. We also talked about a few of the hottest vacation rental markets in the US and why those markets tend to be a more stable investment over the long term and finally, we discussed a few reasons why adding a vacation rental or two or three is a perfect start or addition to any real estate investors portfolio. No matter where you’re currently located. Let’s begin. All right Avery Carl, welcome to the REI Diamond Show. How you doing today?

Avery Carl: Pretty good. How are you?

Dan: I am doing well. So we’re just the beginning of February here for a timestamp. I am curious where you are recording from in the country and what the weather is like there currently?

Avery: I am recording in 30A, Florida so Panhandle of Florida and it is about 65 degrees.

Dan: Is that cold for you guys there?

Avery: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. We’re getting the polar vortex here in Chicago and we have the ice shelf forming out the window here and it’s cold. It’s making me want to jump in the car and drive to Florida and spend some time in a vacation rental, which the’re all pretty much booked up in Florida right now. We checked but we all get to all that in a moment. So Avery, do you want to start out by telling us how you got started in real estate? And what does your primary business model look like today?

Avery: Absolutely. So I kind of ended up in real estate and real estate investing by mistake or not by mistake. I just kind of fell into it, my husband and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2013 from New York City. And, obviously, we who can’t afford to buy something in New York City when you’re just starting out so we moved to Nashville so that we could buy a house and have some space. And, when we got there I didn’t have my real estate license yet. I was working as a marketing manager in the music business and our real estate agent was trying to get us to buy in this really hip superfast depreciating area of Nashville, and we didn’t really want to do that because we were just coming from Brooklyn really tired of neighbors.

Guest: Brandon Barnes focuses on virtual wholesale real estate investing in the Atlanta, Georgia market. He does over $1 million per year in revenue.

Big Idea: “That’s a Real Estate Investor’s Superpower: Being Able to Comp Properties & Have a Feel for Purchase Price” Brandon mentions this “superpower” about half way into the interview. He’s spot on. The Real Estate Investor’s Superpower can be summed up in two main points. First you have to know how much to offer so that you get your offer accepted. Second, you have to know how much you can sell the house for once you’re done renovation. Or renting & refinancing if you’re planning to buy & hold.

Brandon believes in Offers Over Appointments. In other words, he and his team would rather simply make offers over the phone than schedule face to face appointments. This is obvious if you’re a virtual wholesaler, but most of us in real estate prefer seeing the property prior to making an offer. You have to at least see photos before making an offer, right? The answer may surprise you. Check out the episode for full details.

Dan Breslin: Welcome to the REI Diamonds Show. I am your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 183 on Virtual Wholesale Real Estate Investing with Brandon Barnes. If you are into building wealth through real estate investing, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers. I invite them onto the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom, those tactics, mindsets and methods used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of real estate.

Dan: Now, most real estate investors, including myself, prefer making offers after physically seeing the house. You go see the condition, underwrite the deal, figure out the values. They have to repair value and then make an offer. Today’s guest, Brandon Barnes, he used to do the same, but now, he prefers making all of his offers immediately over the phone without ever seeing the property or even seeing photos of the property. I mean, how does this work? Do we not need to know the condition of the house to make an offer or at a minimum, see the photos? These answers may surprise you.

Dan: All right. Welcome Brandon Barnes to the REI Diamonds Show. How are you doing today?

Brandon Barnes: Hey, I am well. Thank you for having me there.

Dan: Yeah, for sure. It has been much anticipated. Your name has been floating around the Atlanta Market where I do a lot of business for the past couple years here. I was highly excited to look forward to having you get on the show here once we started getting together with bookings. For those that may not know who Brandon Barnes already is, do you want to kind of give a little bit of a background for us, Brandon? Maybe how you began real estate investing and maybe even the details about your first deal if you could go back to that origination.

Brandon: Yeah, for sure. Look, I am here in the Atlanta area just like you mentioned. I started off my journey whole selling, specifically. I mean, that is just the art of finding off-market properties at a discount and kind of jumping to this game by chance, honestly. I gotten fired from a Corporate America job and I always thought I would climb the ladder and become an entrepreneur at some perfect opportunity, but I got fired. I reached out to a buddy that I knew fro(continued)
