From the days of no computers and payphones to the current era of AI and advanced data analytics, Bob has seen it all. Despite the technological advancements, he points out that the number of property transactions hasn't increased; instead, technology has enabled a smaller group of people to accomplish more.Bob also shared his insights on the current market challenges, particularly the impact of rapid interest rate increases on property values. He advises sellers to hold off unless there's a compelling strategic reason to sell and emphasizes the importance of data quality and analysis in making informed decisions.In the second part of our episode, Bob took us through the incredible journey of growing his firm from just two people and a secretary to over 250 employees and three offices. He attributes this success to a granular understanding of the market, a residential farming approach to commercial real estate, and a strong focus on self-produced, accurate market insights.Bob also highlighted the importance of servant leadership in building a successful team. By empowering employees and making them feel integral to the company's mission, they were able to foster a positive and supportive culture that led to the firm's success.Training was another key factor in their growth. Bob detailed their rigorous training process, which ensured that every broker was fully prepared before engaging with clients. This process included creating maps, walking every street, taking pictures, and understanding the value of properties in their territory.Finally, Bob shared his perspective on the current buying opportunities, comparing them to past market downturns. He believes that those with capital and courage will find this to be one of the best buying opportunities in a lifetime.Thank you for tuning in to today's episode.

Welcome back to the daily real estate syndication show. I'm your host, Whitney Sewell, and today we're diving deeper with our guest, Eric Most, into how you can be a better steward of your assets, including property, finances, and time. Eric brings a wealth of knowledge on charitable giving strategies that go beyond the traditional 1031 exchange plan, offering alternatives that don't require you to "die to get out" of your investment.Eric emphasizes the generous nature of U.S. tax laws when leveraged correctly, especially for charitable giving. He explains that the more you give, the more tax benefits you receive. By illustrating a scenario where Pete considered giving up to 50% of his business to NCF before the sale, Eric shows how Pete could potentially give away $1.375 million while only taking home $175,000 less than he initially planned.The conversation also highlights the triple tax benefits of using real estate in charitable strategies: a fair market value deduction, avoidance of depreciation recapture, and tax-free income while the property is held before the sale. Eric points out that these benefits are often overlooked because many CPAs and tax attorneys are not well-versed in charitable giving strategies. He reassures listeners that NCF is equipped to educate and work alongside financial professionals to maximize charitable impact.Eric concludes by reminding listeners that donated funds must be used for charitable purposes and cannot be accessed for personal gain. He also touches on more sophisticated strategies, such as donating intellectual property rights, which can create even greater tax efficiencies.If you're inspired to learn more about how you can integrate charitable giving into your real estate and business endeavors, don't miss this episode.
