There’s a secret the rich and wealthy have been keeping that they use to exponentially grow their wealth. This philosophy doesn’t ask the question: what is the return on investment, but rather, how long will it take for it to come back to you so you can reinvest? 

It’s called the velocity of money. And today, alongside Brandon Jenkins - founder of Birch Prosper who’s invested in over 2,300 units - we’re going to explain why this slight tweak in your investment philosophy can significantly amplify your approach. 

Are you ready for an upgrade?

Brandon has a very diverse professional background as an engineer with 10 years of technical experience working for 2 major Fortune 500 corporations in the Oil & Gas and Mining sectors. The focus of his work dealt with risk analysis, project execution, asset management, and investment evaluation. Brandon has a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Howard University. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife and 3 children.

During our conversation, Brandon discusses:

🔥What most investors get wrong about the velocity of money.

🔥  Return of capital vs return on capital. 

🔥 Which asset classes he invests in to maximize the velocity of his money.

🔥 A real example of how the reinvestment process works.

🔥And more!

Flying by the seat of your pants is not good advice. Especially not when it comes to real estate investing - or flying a commercial plane. Today’s guest - Satch Bernhardt - is an expert in both. And during our conversation, he uncovers the illusion of job security that many people fall victim to. But perhaps more importantly, he shares some of the surprising ways being an airline pilot prepared him for real estate investing. Strap in - we’re about to take a one-way trip to several real estate revelations you won’t be able to unsee.

Satch Bernhardt is an airline pilot and the CEO and founder of V1 Capital. He has excelled in both the aviation and real estate industries. He developed a passion for flying at an early age and began learning how to fly in 2010. He then went on to become a flight instructor, teaching others how to fly. Through this experience, he gained valuable knowledge about leadership and human psychology. To safeguard himself from the uncertainties of the aviation industry, Satch decided to enter the real estate market in 2018. He started his own real estate business, recognizing the potential for passive income and stability. Unfortunately, in 2020, Satch was furloughed from his airline job due to the global pandemic. However, he didn't let this setback discourage him. Satch has always enjoyed connecting with people, and during his time off, he utilized his expertise in real estate to write an eBook called "Pilot's Handbook on Passive Investing in Real Estate."

Satch talks about: 

🔥What being an airline pilot taught him about real estate investing (you won’t believe it)!

🔥Transitioning from wholesaling to investing in apartments (why he made the switch)!

🔥The common money mistakes pilots (and most people) are making…

🔥What Blackstone has taught him about real estate…

🔥And more…

THESE simple strategies could help keep you out of jail…

Many multifamily syndicators are terrified of violating a guideline set by the SEC, but many don’t really know how to use technology to expand their capital raising abilities and improve their ability to remain in compliance.

Today’s guest is the self-proclaimed “most cautious syndicator” when it comes to following the SEC rules.

Dan Fradenburgh built his commercial real estate business from the ground up with transparency on full display. His Chance Encounters podcast featured my brother Jeffrey in 2022;  a show where syndicators and operators explain what they're looking for, what they do on a team, and what they want nothing to do with in this business. Dan got into real estate from building CRM online funnels that accept credit cards and automate fulfillment. Dan explains some of the overlooked practices that can help you remain compliant with the SEC, and he reveals the uses of a CRM for multifamily investors.

During our interview, Dan touches on

✅ How multifamily syndicators can use a CRM

✅Why real estate is a SCAM

✅How his digital background has helped him succeed as a multifamily syndicator

✅How to use social media correctly as a multifamily investor

✅ And more!

The way you think about THESE things determine where you are and where you’re going…and many of us don’t even realize it.

The paradigms dictating the way we view money and time are essential to evaluate as you progress on your real estate journey towards financial and time freedom. You can’t change or improve your current financial situation if you don’t understand the factors and mindset that has gotten you to where you are. The distractions, limiting beliefs, and lies you tell yourself are standing in the way of your goals!

Many investors are chasing time freedom, but don’t realize they’re making THIS mistake…

As we build our investment portfolios, we can get caught up in the day-to-day tasks. And as you become increasingly more successful in real estate, many investors don’t realize their inability to let go of the vine and remove themselves from the business is keeping them trapped within it.

Today’s guest discusses the key to escaping the self-made prison many investors find themselves in.

Investors who fail to PIVOT will not survive the storm that’s coming…

I was talking to a successful investor on one of my podcast interviews who said a few months ago, practically anyone could make money in real estate. With the economic chances looming, that’s not going to continue being the case for much longer.

This is why it’s important to grow and adapt along with the changing investment landscape.

Real estate entrepreneurs aiming to preserve and even scale their investments should consider these two things: adding different investment strategies to their toolbelt, and building out their team.

And these are two topics we dive into with today’s guest, Bob Lachance.

Bob is the founder and CEO of REVA Global, a premiere Virtual Assistant staffing company. He has done over 1,500 real estate transactions. He played professional hockey for 8 years, in both Europe and the U.S..

In this episode, we discuss with Bob how essential having an administrative assistant is for real estate investors, what the vetting process looks like, tasks you can outsource, and why investors need to adopt new strategies besides the traditional ones in order to survive in the industry.

This is a must-listen!

This might be the biggest risk to your real estate portfolio in the future…

The climate has been a hot topic in the news lately. Regardless of what your opinions are on it, there’s no denying that the climate in the market where your real estate assets are located can have a severe impact on your wealth. For example, a devastating hurricane can cause millions of dollars in damages. That’s why it’s important to understand the CLIMATE RISK associated with your property! According to Neal Bawa, today’s guest, this is an often overlooked factor that investors need to start paying attention to.

Neal Bawa is a technologist who is universally known in real estate circles as the “Mad Scientist of Multifamily.” Besides being one of the most in-demand speakers in commercial real estate, Neal is a data guru, a process freak, and an outsourcing expert. Neal treats his $1+ billion-dollar multifamily portfolio as an ongoing experiment in efficiency and optimization. The Mad Scientist lives by two mantras. His first mantra is that: We can only manage what we can measure. His second mantra is that: Data beats gut feel by a million miles. These mantras and a dozen other disruptive beliefs drive profit for his 800+ investors.

During our conversation with Neal, we talk about his journey into real estate, his top 5 key metrics for investing, tips for selecting an investment market, the impacts of climate risk on a real estate investor, and why investors should be paying more attention to the CLIMATE RISK factor that large corporations such as Tesla and Apple are already taking into account when determining where to set up headquarters.

This episode has lots of gold nuggets from one of the industry’s top thought leaders!

Success doesn’t begin on the outside. IT starts with building and protecting the right mindset. When we first started investing in real estate, we didn’t have the right mindset.

And the good news is, you can do it too! Watch today’s video to find out more about our mindset, and how you can develop a strong mindset.

As a new real estate investor, you might be struggling with the scary thought of finding a way to fund your first real estate investment. There are many different options available to take down your first property. We are firm believers in the importance of scaling up into bigger assets like apartment complexes, but if you’re just starting out, acquiring a single family rental is a great stepping stone. So today’s video is dedicated to helping you navigate your options for how to fund and finance your first real estate deal. Because not having the money yourself is NOT a viable excuse, and whenever you have the will to do a deal, all you have to do is find the way. And that’s what this episode is about.

Depreciation is one of the most appealing aspects of investing in real estate. Depreciation is the process used to deduct the costs of buying and improving a rental property. This powerful strategy allows many real estate investors to pay little to no income taxes. Cost segregation, a type of depreciation strategy, is a lesser known option that many investors in the commercial real estate space utilize to maximize their tax savings. Understanding this strategy is useful for both active and passive investors, because it allows them to take advantage of depreciation opportunities they otherwise would have missed out on. This is the topic we dive into with today’s guest.

Our conversation with Yonah provides a depth of knowledge on this awesome tax saving strategy. We chat about the difference between cost segregation and straight line depreciation, what his team of engineers look for during a cost segregation study, and the benefits of being a real estate professional. We also discuss what types of properties benefit the most from cost segregation, how capital expenditures and property renovations factor into a cost segregation study, and more.

To learn about this fascinating tax saving strategy that has investors excited about tax season, make sure to listen now!

Growing up in a Hispanic household, we weren’t taught about building wealth or financial freedom. We were curious to know if we were alone in this. But, the reality is that we’re not. In 2019, only 5% of Latinos reported receiving a type of monetary or estate inheritance. While there are many factors that go into this, we wanted to dive into the reasons behind why Hispanics that have the means to invest in real estate don’t. This topic isn’t just relevant for Hispanic or Latinos. It’s useful for anyone who wasn’t taught about how to make money, invest it, and build generational wealth by their family or schools. The importance of this topic is why we decided to have today’s guest on.

Carlos Amaya, along with his wife Juliana Estrada, co-host Hablemos de Real Estate, a show and platform dedicated to providing information and tools to the Latino community in everything related to Real Estate, Family and Finance. He also founded a mastermind where he helps people achieve financial freedom through real estate investments. He is a limited partner and a general partner in multifamily projects in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana.

We talk to Carlos about how he got into real estate, why he eventually began buying smaller multifamily, and his journey to scaling into larger assets. We also touch on common money misconceptions that members of the Hispanic community as well anyone without financial education may have. Topics range from why Latinos don’t invest, how our sources of news and information can impact our wealth, common limiting beliefs newer investors have, and how Carlos is determined to build and preserve wealth by empowering his children with the right knowledge and tools.

This episode is filled with gold nuggets, such as how to overcome your own limiting beliefs, how to teach your children to keep their wealth, and how to change your view of money. Make sure to tune in!

Venturing off into something that is unknown is always scary. Whether this is starting a business, investing in a new asset class, or trying a new strategy, uncertainty can lead to discomfort. However, it’s outside of our comfort zones where the most learning and growth happens. This is simply part of the process. When it comes to your finances, having the ability to be both financially offensive and defensive is key to having your financial needs met and surpassed in this ever changing economic climate. Today’s guest, a former Silicon Valley executive, has demonstrated that leaving your comfort zone can yield beneficial results in investing and life, even if you don’t see it immediately.

Today’s guest is Spencer Hilligoss. Spencer is a full time investor and former operations leader who walked away from a lucrative career of 13 years across 5 high-growth Fintech companies. Spencer is now focused on Madison Investing - a passive investing group with hundreds of members actively deploying capital with Madison’s vetted sponsors and deals in high-growth markets across the US.

During the episode, we talked about what it was like working in Silicon Valley, the downsides to Hustle Culture, and the lack of retirement planning many high earning professionals face in today’s corporate world. We also discuss goal setting, why it’s essential that you leave your comfort zone, and the common fears many people face when they are starting out in real estate. If you’re looking to strengthen your investing mindset and break some paradigms, this is the episode for you!

Many real estate investors get started in the single family space before they transition into the multifamily space. We started by wholesaling houses and completing a flip. But, we realized it would take us much longer to reach our real estate goals through single family investing than it would if we thought bigger. This process of thinking bigger led us to doing bigger deals. Today’s guest has a similar origin story, and he’s proof that you can make the jump from wholesaling or flipping to taking down large apartment complexes!

He continues to teach others how to follow in his footsteps via The Ferrari Capital Multifamily Mastermind. He’s also the host of Creative Capital, where he has gotten over 450K downloads with thousands of loyal weekly listeners.

In this episode, we talk to Josh about the lessons he learned from the single family space, and why his experience there pushed him into seeking bigger deals. He also explains how he found a mentor without paying for one, how he’s achieved financial freedom through real estate, and the creative investment model he’s using to build REAL generational wealth for himself and his investors. This episode is full of knowledge for both new investors and those of you with years of experience. Press play–and change your life!

Analyzing deals and underwriting can be extremely daunting. Many people consider underwriting an art, though there is a lot of analysis and numbers involved. This part of the active investing process can take some time to learn, but it’s one of the most critical aspects of sourcing deals. Learning how to underwrite multifamily properties is a challenge in any stage of the market cycle. However, when there is a heightened level of uncertainty, there is even more pressure on an underwriter to ensure they are making defensible assumptions and taking a conservative approach to their projections. Underwriting isn’t impossible, but it can take time to learn. It also helps to learn from an expert, which is exactly why we brought on Rob Beardsley as a guest.

Rob Beardsley oversees acquisitions and capital markets for Lone Star Capital and has acquired over $300M of multifamily real estate. He has evaluated thousands of opportunities using proprietary underwriting models and published the number one book on multifamily underwriting, The Definitive Guide to Underwriting Multifamily Acquisitions.

In today’s conversation, Rob dives into the fundamentals of underwriting. He discusses how he vets his markets, the best advice for a new investor wanting to learn how to underwrite, and some overall market knowledge that can provide context to an underwriter’s assumptions. He also drops some gems relating to how he stress tests his underwriting, and his views on the current debt market.

This episode is packed with knowledge from one of the leading underwriting thought leaders in the multifamily space, so make sure to tune in!

When you close on an apartment syndication deal, the work is just getting started. Asset management involves maximizing the potential revenue at a property, and identifying new ways to create and grow long term value by increasing the property’s Net Operating Income. While your marketing might be what attracts passive investors, asset management is what keeps them coming back! Whether you’re an operator, capital raiser, or passive investor, understanding asset management at a fundamental level is essential to making savvy investment decisions. Over the past few years, many operators have benefited from strong markets and rising rental premiums. However, in hard times, the asset manager determines how the property performs. For these reasons, we brought on an asset management expert to discuss these timely topics.

Sandhya Seshadri is an experienced apartment syndicator in Dallas with over $100M hundred million dollars in assets under management. Sandhya is experienced in all aspects of multifamily Syndication from underwriting and broker relationships to raising capital and asset management to execute the business plan.

In this episode, Kerwin and Sandhya dive into why asset management is so important, particularly during an economic downturn. She also mentions why she keeps cash reserves, managing a property management company, and important KPIs she tracks to ensure her properties perform. She also explains how she manages her capital expenditures budget, why she doesn’t assume large rent bumps in her underwriting, and much more. This is an episode you cannot afford to miss!

However, with the right investment principles, mindset, and underwriting approach, savvy investors can weather the economic storm and continue hunting for deals. It’s more important now than ever to underwrite conservatively, and understand how the market, type of debt, and interest rates can impact your acquisitions and property performance. That’s why we decided to bring on Eli Vo as today’s guest.

Atlas also hosts a podcast called "The Real MF Guys Show."

On today’s episode, Eli discusses how he and his team make “defensible assumptions” in their underwriting, how a market can help you mitigate economic shifts, the impact of changing interest rates on real estate deal sourcing, and more. To hear the wisdom Eli has for people looking to raise capital in these times, and for people who are currently responsible for passive investor money, press play!

In today’s investing market, stability might be considered a luxury. So much uncertainty is causing stock market investors and crypto currency owners to wait on the edge of their seats for their investments to recover. All investing involves some level of risk, but how much control you have over the investment can help you mitigate risk. There are so many things you cannot control in life. Your wealth shouldn’t be one of them. Today’s guest is here to attest to that.

Roderick Capelo is an orthopedic surgeon who began investing in real estate five years ago, now invested in 2500 units across five states.

Roderick dives into what you need to know about diversifying your portfolio, the key that has helped him get invested in 2,500 doors, and the biggest lesson he learned from his first real estate deal that he ended up taking a $40,000 loss on!

Identifying your why is one of the most important things a real estate investor can do. According to Simon Sinek, author of Start with Why, a why statement is “the compelling higher purpose that inspires us and acts as the source of all we do.” Knowing this has so many benefits, and the most successful real estate investors have used their why to push them to build massive portfolios and achieve great things in this industry. And by identifying your own why, you can too.

That’s why we’re breaking down why it’s important to know your WHY. We’re also expanding on our own WHYs, and we’re giving you a simple formula you can use to create or refine your own why statement. So, let’s get into it!

Doctors are seen as the most successful people in our society, and for good reason. Becoming a doctor requires extensive training and education, and is more intensive than many other career fields. However, many doctors aren’t financially educated, and find themselves trapped in a cycle of debt and financial stress. We wanted to know why this was the case, so we invited Harry Nima Zegarra to be a guest on the show.

Harry is a Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Physician, real estate investor, entrepreneur, co-founder and manager of Nima Equity, a commercial real estate syndication company where he helps physicians to earn passive income, lower taxes and achieve financial freedom. Harry has experience in rental properties and currently owns and manages 9 properties across the DFW metropolitan area. Harry is General Partner in 784 units in 4 different States. Harry met his wife Mitsi in Medical School in Peru and they finished their training in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Harry currently works at a tertiary medical center in Dallas, TX.

During our conversation, Harry shared some insightful lessons from his time as a single family investor you can use if you’re currently in that space. He also discusses the challenges he faced as he transitioned into apartment investing, and you can take this wisdom and apply it to your own journey if you’re looking to scale up into larger real estate assets. Along with this, Harry breaks down the reasons why doctors might not be as financially successful as you’d think, and what the root causes of their financial problems are.

Investing in real estate in the United States provides a lot of great opportunities that foreign investors don’t have access to in other countries. Whether you’re here in United States or living in another country, getting a new perspective on the real estate industry is invaluable. That’s why today’s guest is a real estate investor who invests in American real estate from his home in Barcelona.

Before becoming a real estate entrepreneur, KeePon Cashflow’s founder Billy Keels worked in the corporate world. In fact, he was one of the best “corporate soldiers” you’d ever want to meet. During his corporate career Billy put his leadership and relationship-building skills to good use to help clients get to the root of issues that were holding them back from full success. Billy earned his stripes as a true problem-solver, a skill he carried into his new entrepreneurial life. What made him popular with employers who sent him across the globe to meet with Fortune 500-level clients is the same thing that makes him popular with investors, buyers and sellers in real estate today… his skills in coming up with real solutions that work in the real world for real people. Today Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach and mentor.

Some gold nuggets from this episode include the importance of understanding control when it comes to real estate investing, why the Barcelona market wasn’t an ideal investment market for Billy, and how Billy meets world class operators while living in another country.

Commercial brokers are the gatekeepers to real estate opportunities in the larger multifamily space. Unfortunately, going direct-to-owner isn’t going to cut it, especially not if you want to do deals at scale. It’s almost necessary to build great relationships with commercial brokers in the markets you invest in if you want to take down multifamily deals. If the idea of cold calling brokers is overwhelming, don’t worry. That’s why we brought on Beau Beery to discuss how to get on the good side of a multifamily broker.

Beau Beery has been in the commercial real estate business in Florida since 1999. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and a Master of Science degree in Real Estate from the University of Florida. He also holds the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation. In 2011, he teamed up with Todd Rainsberger, a successful commercial Realtor, to acquire an interest in Coldwell Banker Commercial M.M. Parrish Realtors in partnership with the Parrish family. There he was consistently ranked as the #1 multifamily producer in Florida for the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand and among the Top 5 in the nation every year before starting his own private multifamily brokerage firm in 2021. He is regularly asked to speak at industry conferences and to private companies. He also has an ever-growing YouTube channel (called BeauKnowsMultifamily) where he guides viewers on how to buy more multifamily assets, how to sell them, and how to conduct market analysis.

In this episode, Beau shares tips for bringing a broker value, missteps to avoid, and some important stats you NEED to know to understand multifamily transactions.

That’s why it’s so important to do your own due diligence on a market before you buy a property there.

In this episode, we’re discussing what we look for in a good market. We’re dropping some gems relating to metrics we pay attention to, what we like to see in a market, and what we avoid. Make sure to watch till the end to get all of the gold nuggets you need to find a great real estate market to invest in!

Many newer real estate investors start with wholesaling properties. Wholesaling is when someone gets a property under a contract from the owner of the property and assigns that same contract to an end buyer for a fee. We (the Donis Brothers) started off with wholesaling, and used that business model to break into the industry. If you don’t come from wealth or money, wholesaling is a great way to break into real estate. Wholesaling allows you to not only generate active income, but it also gives you access to off-market properties that you can add to your own personal portfolio of cash flowing rentals.

Dedric Polite, alongside his wife Krystal have made millions in real estate, buying, renovating and flipping homes and properties. But they’ve strategically built long term wealth by also buying and holding property for rental, ensuring coveted financial freedom through passive income and consistent cash flow. Viewers can get a front-row seat to see how they do it all with their engaging home series “50/50 Flip,” premiering January 29 on A&E.

In this episode, Dedric and Kerwin talk about how wholesalers can build long term wealth by cherry picking properties from their own leads. Dedric also shares some advice on how to build unique property lists like he has that continue to generate leads for him, years after he created them!

Tune in to get these gems and much more!

Social media is becoming more prevalent in our day to day society. Nowadays, it seems like everyone is on social media.

That’s why in this video, we’re diving into the benefits of using social media as a real estate investor, and how you can approach it. It doesn’t have to be complicated or complex, and in this video, we demystify how you can use social media to get closer to your real estate goals.

Many investors start out flipping houses or buying single family rentals. While single family investing is a great path, there are multiple reasons why investors choose to scale up and move into larger unit properties. We know the thought of buying a larger property can be scary, but it can be worthwhile to make the jump. Carmen Dettloff made the leap from single family to multifamily investing, and has not looked back!

Carmen is an experienced real estate investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Bigfoot Equity. Carmen started her real estate career over 15 years ago and has broad investment experience in flipping, renovating, and adding value to properties. Carmen is currently passively invested in over 2,000 units and is general partner over 1,500 units. In additional to real estate investing, Carmen is a mathematician with 15 years of experience in revenue optimization in airline, telecommunication and banking industries. Carmen was also a math professor for 7 years.

Carmen has advice on underwriting deals, lessons learned as a lead sponsor, and the factors that encouraged her to pursue multifamily investing over single family. The insights she shared can provide invaluable guidance to help you make the decision of whether you want to keep buying single family properties or start looking into scaling up!
