About Kris Reid

Kris Reid is an Australian entrepreneur with a degree in software engineering. After obtaining his degree, he moved to Europe for a few years, where he worked with multiple companies in the financial sector. Then, when the global financial crisis hit, he worked for a large financial firm in London before losing his job. And while it was a tough time for everyone, Kris dubbed this the beginning of his journey to success. 

Kris headed back to Australia, where he created an online game called Mob Warrior. But, as the completion and launch day approached, he had no idea how to get people to discover the game’s website. And so, Kris started studying SEO techniques and how Google works, learning everything about metadata, title tags, keywords, how to build authority, and high-quality backlinks, among many other strategies.

Later on, Kris started offering SEO services and built Ardor Media Factory as a search marketing agency that makes custom links for companies, gains local citations, and publishes brilliant reviews. They have offices in Australia, Cambodia, and the Philippines, offering professional SEO and website success services.

Join Rent Roll Radio's host, Sterling Chapman, with his guest John Sinclair as they discuss the many steps you can take to maximize cash flow on a property, what the no-money-down strategy got him into, and what the books, Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant, taught him in real estate. When he was just 17, John stumbled upon one of John Carlton's iconic infomercials that undoubtedly, many people can recall. After that piqued his interest, John (Sinclair) got himself his first house the following year with savings and an FHA loan. Working in a factory at that time, by starting to refer deals to co-workers, John began a career that's still going up until now.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• John Sinclair – what the John Carlton infomercial got me into at 17.

About John Sinclair:

John started the Broker Sinclair Team in Coeur d'Alene several years ago. His main focus is on marketing listings and getting them sold for the most amount of money in the least amount of time. If you follow John's blog or Facebook posts, you'll quickly learn that he's an open book. John says what he thinks and keeps it honest. If the market is repressed, he'll be the first to tell you. If he finds a real deal, you'll see it in his passion for what he's selling.

Born in rural West Tennessee, John has been a Realtor since 1998. He fell in love with real estate while watching a real estate infomercial when he was 17. John saved all the money he could and bought his first rental house when he was 18. A good friend showed him how to make a living, helping other people buy and sell what he was passionate about. To John, that seemed like a no-brainer. Today he continues sharing his passion with others and earns along the way.

Join Rent Roll Radio’s host, Sterling Chapman, with his guest Parker Stone as they talk about how to start building your network to manage multifamily deals better. Parker is a principal at Clear Bay Capital and a member of the Cornell Real Estate Council. After being laid-off two months into his first job, he searched online for other possible income streams and eventually stumbled upon BiggerPockets. Since then, Parker learned about appreciation, rehabilitation and other real estate concepts. In turn, he was inspired to look into Raleigh’s market and found the first of many properties in his portfolio. Today, Parker walks us through how he acquired his first deals and how his process has changed since then.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to get the most out of a property’s appreciation even in the most stagnant markets

About Parker Stone

Like most investors, Parker Stone got into real estate through single-family syndication. Before that, Parker worked corporate as his first job out of college. And while he was so excited to start a career, his department was laid-off two months in, a challenging time for anyone at the time. And so, Parker looked online for different business models to create passive income, such as franchising and retailing. 

But after a while, Parker came across BiggerPockets and then learned about buying properties at reasonable prices for appreciation and renting them out for cash flow. And at the time, his brother was going to NC State University, which happened to be in Raleigh, one of the fastest-growing areas. And so, Parker flew down to Raleigh and started looking through some of the markets, eventually finding a good place that happened to be on sale. It just so happened that the former owner of the property had just bought a new house with a more spacious lawn for their dog, and he needed to sell his previous property quickly. So, in the end, Parker and his brother got the property. Nowadays, Stone is looking to ultimately sell the place and a few others in their portfolio to roll into multifamily eventually.

With 30 years of experience as a general contractor, he is passionate about helping real estate investors and homeowners overcome their fears of house renovations.

• The benefits of diversifying your investments and how to manage all of them

About Van Sturgeon

Van Sturgeon is an experienced entrepreneur who has successfully created several businesses in the real estate industry, covering areas of land acquisition, development, construction, and renovation. He owns over 1,000 properties across North America and is semi-retired from the day-to-day operations of his businesses.

Van’s father immigrated to the United States in 1959 and served our country proudly during the Vietnam War. Meanwhile, his mother had immigrated to Canada first and moved with him to Chicago to start a new family. Through a lot of hard work and savings, his parents reached their dream, and they bought an apartment building in Chicago in 1976.

However, the late ‘70s and ‘80s devastated their community with drugs and crime. Van’s parents barely held on, as their building was 60% vacant, and it kept getting worse. But amid the hardship, his family was able to get through. They did everything in their building and never hired any contractors. They even went out and installed a new roof, new windows, tiled, carpeted, and painted every single apartment. In turn, Van learned so much from these experiences that he chose to pursue a career in home renovation.
