The Miracle Morning W/ Hal Elrod
On this episode, Jake and Gino interview none other than Hal Elrod. Hal Elrod is the author of one of the highest rated, best-selling books in the world, The Miracle Morning—which has been translated into 27 languages, has over 2,000 five-star Amazon reviews and is practiced daily by over 500,000 people in 70+ countries. Hal actually died at age 20. Hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped for 6 minutes, broke 11 bones, and eventually woke from a coma to be told by doctors that he would never walk again. Not only did Hal walk, he went on to run a (52 mile) ultra-marathon and become a hall of fame business achiever—before the age of 30. Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again—his kidneys, lungs, and heart on the verge of failing, which led to his being diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive form of cancer (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). After enduring the most difficult year of his life, Hal is now cancer-free and furthering his mission as the Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning Movie—a documentary that both shows you the morning rituals of some of the world’s most successful people, as well as takes you around the world to show you the life-changing impact that Miracle Mornings are having, globally.

Triple Net (NNN) Leases with NNNeil Wahlgren
Mike Taravella discusses the importance of understanding your rent roll as a buyer and an owner. Key Information: What is a Triple Net Lease (NNN) and what does it include? Where is the operational risk? With the tenant! Who pays the expenses? Probably the tenant! Industrial NNN Leases 10-20 year leases Some of these tenants have been there for 30-70 years! Customized the building to their needs Typically no property management needed – 2 year inspections (as needed) Multi-tenant NNN Imagine your NNN as a bond. What is the ability of the tenant to pay their bills? Is cooperate backing the lease? The strength of your lease is the reliability of the cashflows Get quarterly reports and verify the “rosiness” of the picture. Always audit the financials and be aggressive with it! Renewal Risk Sale leaseback – Buy from the owner-operator and then lease it back for 20 years Short timeframes left on the lease are more of the “value add” purchase Debt on NNN CMBS Nonrecourse debt Big prepayment penalties Recourse debt Regional Banks More flexible Better terms Schools, traffic count, etc. doesn’t matter! And the dirtier the better! Find an investment group that does your new asset class already. Most people are willing to help each other!
