In this episode, we're joined by David Zook and Juliet (Barwick) Cordona, two amazing financial advisors with David White and Associates. They compare different investment strategies to help you make an informed decision about your financial future. It's never too late to start investing yourself so you can do what you want - whether now or in the future! Does that investment property make sense? How much should you invest? Does selling or holding your investments fit your specific financial plans? Each investor is different and in a different financial situation. Please consult your CPA or financial advisor for tax and financial advice... oh wait, that's them!

In today's episode we sit with Realtor Tamika Ellsworth to discuss her failures and successes in life. She believes that actually doing work (whatever it maybe) with focus and openness to try new things adds real value to a person's intellectuality. Tamika is a carpenter and a Real Estate agent, who dared to try new things, even when society put a different mold on her. Her story is all about faith, family and mentorship. Tune in to find out how she kills the Real Estate game while parenting two daughters.

When it comes to pricing investment properties, cap rate is king. But when determining if a deal is worthwhile, should a buyer be looking at a different metric? Return on investment (ROI) may be a more relevant metric to investors. In this episode, we compare and contrast cap rate vs. ROI to determine which metric investors should value and when.

On this week's episode of the TBI show, we had an opportunity to sit down with Clifford Cheung, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to discuss real estate, investments, life strategies, life choices, and more. Cliff comes from a family with multiple CPAs, and has essentially had a foot in the industry all his life. A CPA is someone whom we can all turn to when we have questions about our finances, our taxes, or our investments. But this episode is mainly about Cliff's philosophy on life, why he left corporate America and took the entrepreneur route. Tune in to listen to his story!

Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are a real estate investment vehicle for investors to own passive and turnkey commercial properties. Contrary to what some people believe, they are not limited to only properties in Delaware, but are limited to accredited investors only. With over a dozen sponsors and many more offerings, they are a more passive approach to real estate investing where a consortium of investors invest and own an institutional-grade commercial property together, quite similar to a tenant in common. Join us as we welcome Frank Piscatelli, JD, of Archer Investors as he walks us through the ins and outs of DSTs. Frank is a Bay Area-based Registered Representative who is a big believer in DSTs, even investing in them himself.

We are joined this week by Sal, a self-made Bay Area investor who owns 30+ properties and more than a dozen businesses in his portfolio. This episode is for listeners of all knowledge levels, with a full serving of inspirational real-life stories. Beginning with how he started his real estate portfolio at the age of 20, he shares with us how he grew financially, how he financed his portfolio, what his target acquisitions were, and how creative thinking has allowed him to make the best out of tough situations!

Join Karan, Weiming, and Navroop as we walk you through the basics of a commercial property. We start off by defining a commercial property and going over the differences between the residential and commercial classifications. We continue by delving into what that means practically –from a lending standpoint, tax perspective, and in managing such properties. We even touch on what the mold is of an appropriate agent to represent you in a commercial transaction. If you're interested in getting exposure to big-game real estate, this episode is a must-listen.

A 1031 exchange is one of the best tax strategies an investor can use to build their wealth and real estate portfolio. IRS tax code section 1031 allows investors to defer capital gains taxes upon the sale of real property. Join us as Weiming, a 1031 exchange Qualified Intermediary, walks us through the ins and outs of an exchange, including unique strategies to maximize tax advantages.
