When investing in real estate, it’s important to act with intention by focusing on the end goal. We are excited to sit down with Nicole Rueth, the number one loan originator in Colorado and buy and hold investor, on this week’s episode! Nicole started investing in her early 40s while a wife, mother of three, and working full time. She has since intentionally grown her portfolio to 23 units in the Denver area. We cover so much with Nicole like how to analyze economic trends to better understand the market, why it’s important to find and vet a mortgage lender to suit your needs, and how to choose between a 15- or 30-year loan to best match your business model. Nicole has a very specific plan in place to achieve her goals and she shares with us how to focus on a model that will efficiently get you there. Nicole runs a successful brokerage business, is a mother to three amazing children, and is in a beautiful marriage all while building her portfolio to 23 units. But it didn’t start out that way. Growing up with a single mother, on food stamps, and moving often, Nicole spent a lot of time as a young adult trying to figure out who she was. Along the journey, she invested in the traditional markets and lost during each downturn. Though, she was able to recover through real estate. She doesn’t speculate or flip, she buys based on her strict rules and holds for long term appreciation and rental income. She now spends her days sharing everything she’s learned because for her, real estate is stability, security, and multi-generational.   On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Nicole, including: –      How a solid education can help find a good deal in any market –      How to find and vet a lender that will advocate for you and your business –      Why you should focus on the end goal and design a business model to get you there –      Ways you can narrow down your search criteria by understanding tenants wants and needs –      The value in having a partnership where you both complement each other Books/Resources YouTube – The Rueth Team Book – Start with Why by Simon Sineck Contact Information www.TheRuethTeam.com Fairway Mortgage Looking for Funding?

In real estate investing, having more units doesn’t always mean more cash flow. On today’s episode, we talk with Liz Carroll about her intentional journey to financial independence through debt free real estate investing. We discuss the debt free mentality, the importance of matching your investing strategy with your lifestyle, and why she focuses on manufactured homes. Liz also shares the one question you should ask yourself every time you make a decision. Liz Carroll and her husband Dan are debt free real estate investors located on the Oregon Coast. They’ve built a multi-million-dollar portfolio in the last six years of 14 single family manufactured homes and a four-plex. They focus solving the long-term workforce housing crisis in their county. It’s a win for all: the tenants, the employers, the county, the neighborhoods and themselves. Liz is a Certified Financial Coach from Ramsey Solutions, a Certified Life Coach from The Life Coach School and a 200-RYT Yoga & Meditation Instructor from The Purna Yoga College. She combines strong money and life skills with mindfulness in her coaching business, Mindful Money Coaches. She is the creator of the 30-Day Mindful Money Transformation. She and Dan live in the county they serve. Their adult children visit regularly. Liz and Dan bought their first rental house after 3 months of marriage. Liz was 22. They stepped back from real estate investing for a few years while their children were small and they were focused on our corporate careers.   On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Liz, including: –      Switching from leveraged investing to all cash buying –      The power of asking what you want your future to look like and mapping it out –      Stepping back in your investing journey to better align with your lifestyle –      How to manage your mind so you can build wealth –      The importance of intentional decision making  Books/Resources Already Free by Tami Simon Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist Free Gift Free Coaching Consultation Contact Information liz@mindfulmoneycoaches.com www.mindfulmoneycoaches.com MindfulMoneyCoaches – Instagram   Looking for Funding?

Tax season can be a daunting time for many investors but with proper preparation and education, it doesn’t have to be. On today’s episode, we talk with Natalie Kolodij, a real estate tax strategist and investor, about choosing the right tax professional, structuring your real estate business from a tax perspective, and her experience flipping mobile homes.  We dive deep into the most asked tax questions and discuss how to find the best accountant for your needs and the questions to ask them, items to keep an eye out for on your next tax return, common tax recording mistakes, and a new deduction you definitely want to take. Natalie also shares with us her journey flipping mobile homes and how she found a buyer for a flip hours after she bought it. Natalie is the founder of Kolodij Tax and Consulting, a firm which embraces its tag line of ‘Tax Strategies to escape the 9-5”.
