Passive Real Estate Investing

When it comes to real estate investing, most financial advisors shake their heads. But the financial services industry has turned itself into such a complex machine. It has caused confusion, encouraged mistakes, and justified hefty fees. And all for the benefit of its own bottom line. That reminds me of a quote from Donald Trump. He said, “Sometimes, your best investments are actually the ones you don’t make.”   What Most Financial Advisors Don’t Want Investors to Know About Real Estate In this article: What Investors Need to Know about the Financial Services Industry What a Financial Advisor and a Real Estate Investor Says How Brent Sutherland Began His Career as an Investor What’s So Good about Having Real Estate Investment Property Why Investors Need Better Financial Education Why Financial Advisors Don’t Include Real Estate in Your Investment Strategy Income Diversification vs. Portfolio Diversification Why Investors Need to Diversify Their Income More than Their Portfolio Investors and Planning for Retirement Risks You Have to Look Out for as a Real Estate Investor Where Can Real Estate Investors Find a Financial Advisor They Can Trust?   What Investors Need to Know about the Financial Services Industry Many financial advisors will discourage you from trying your hand at real estate investing. They’d say that the real estate market is volatile. It’s hard to find a real estate agent you can trust. And how do you plan to manage the day-to-day operations of your investment property? But the thing is they have little education in real estate. They don’t know how to find, buy, and manage investment properties. If you’re interested in residential or commercial real estate, speak with someone who knows his way around the industry.   What a Financial Advisor and a Real Estate Investor Says Today’s show is about financial advice, financial planners, Wall Street and—really—who do you believe? My guest today is Brent Sutherland from Ntellivest. Brent has worked in financial services for over 11 years, both in the corporate accounting and investment world. He has a boutique financial planning business today. His goal is to help you turn off the noise and challenge the traditional approach to financial planning and thinking.

Think and Grow Rich is one of those books you see most often on the recommended reading list of people who have achieved really great things. The book was written by the commission of Andrew Carnegie. Based on interviews of over 500 people in history who now we know as great men in the early 20th century, he’s commissioned this book. He interviewed people, such as Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright, Howard Taft. This book is amazing. I read it so long ago. It was first published in 1937. It has sold more than 70 million copies. It gives it the distinction of being the all-time best-seller in the personal success category. Today’s episode is about Think and Grow Rich for real estate investors. The perfect person to bring on for this is a person who I know and respect, a friend of mine. His name is Mani Vaya. Mani is the founder of 2000Books.com where he interviews some of today’s top authors. Over the last five years, Mani has read over 1,000 books in the field of business and personal development. Get this, over the last few years, he has been reading seven books a week, which basically averages out to one book per day. The first book that revolutionized his thinking was Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. As a real estate investor, it made sense to bring him on to talk about the book and how it ties in with real estate investing.

There’s a quote by Ambrose Bierce, “Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.” With this quote from this journalist and writer, today’s show is about proper estate planning for real estate investors. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while because I’ve realized it’s a little bit of a gap in the content that I’ve been putting out. Today, I brought on a guest who I found out about through a friend of mine. His name is Jules Martin Haas. He is a New York City based lawyer who provides clients with legal representation in various areas of law including real estate, trusts and estates, probate estate planning, and business law. With that amount of over regulation that we have out today, it’s very important to have a good attorney. If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to Rental Income Protection – Sky Mikesell.

On today’s show, we have an interesting topic. It’s about how to protect your rental income. I have worked with this person for quite a while and I wanted to bring him on the show because he has actually been part of a new company that is offering a rental income product. It might be something of great interest to you, especially depending on the size of your portfolio and where it’s located.

Today’s show is about wealth, Wall Street and real assets. I’ve brought Dr. Buck Joffrey on to the show to talk about this. Buck knows the old mantra of, “Investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds,” is simply outdated and dangerous, especially, for high paid professionals given the instability and the volatility in the markets today. He advocates entrepreneurship and investing, especially in hard assets and those that provide cashflow because that’s really the reliable way and the approach to building solid personal finance. I’m in line with his thinking and what he advocates. I want to get him on the show to talk about his perspective on these things. It was an interesting conversation, so I think you’ll thoroughly enjoy it. If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to The Real Estate Investor Ladder of Success – Trevor McGregor.

Today, we have a very special show. It is not specifically about real estate per se, but it is tied to real estate investing, the psychology of it, and how you can be more successful in your real estate investing. I brought on someone who I truly admire, who I met back in Denver about three or four weeks ago. We were both speaking at an event, Joe Fairless’ Best Ever Real Estate Investing Conference. I was really impressed by Trevor McGregor, who is a Master Coach. Trevor has completed well over 10,000 coaching hours. He’s worked with hundreds of clients from around the world to achieve success and fulfillment, including Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, real estate investors and world class professionals. His mission is to assist others to achieve better health and more wealth and freedom and contribution than they ever thought possible. This really resonated with me.

Welcome to Passive Real Estate Investing. I’m your host, Marco Santarelli. On today’s show, I was able to get John Lee Dumas on for about fifteen minutes. Now, it was a relatively quick and somewhat rushed interview but I was fortunate to get him on. He’s a very busy guy. He does a daily podcast with some of the most successful business entrepreneurs. If you’re in business, you can learn a lot from his show, although I have a lot of trouble keeping up with seven episodes a week. One thing that came out of this interview with John is his passion and that’s one thing that came through. We talked about it for a little bit. It seems that as he failed in his journey, it was because of a lack of passion. As I look around at other people, I see that people who are just getting by or coasting in life seem to have lack of desire, lack of passion, lack of drive and their just not inspired. It blows me away. I used to think that it’s because people don’t actually write meaningful, smart, specific goals. But I think there’s more to it than that. I think it all starts with a desire and a passion to get something done or achieve or accomplish something greater. It’s an interesting interview, as short as it is. But a few things about passion in itself, I had to look up the definition of passion and figure out what exactly does that mean. But really, passion is the energy that keeps us going. It fills us with meaning and happiness and excitement and anticipation. Passion is a powerful force, like energy. It motivates us and moves us in accomplishing anything that you set your mind to. This can be in work, in life. It helps you to enjoy life to the fullest extent possible. Ultimately, passion is the driving force behind success and happiness that allows us all to live better lives. I love quotes. I should start more reading quotes actually. There are some really good quotes out there related to passion. From Benjamin Franklin, for example: “If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” Jean-Paul Sartre: “We must act out of passion before we can feel it.” That’s very interesting. Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank: “You can’t fake passion.” T.S. Elliot: “It is obvious that we can no more explain our passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.” The famous singer Jon Bon Jovi said: “Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.” Mia Hamm said: “If you don’t love what you do, you won’t do it with much conviction or passion.” One of my personal favorites here is a quote on passion from a man who clearly had way more talent than he claims in his quote. He says: “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” That was Albert Einstein. The passion you have for something really determines not only how successful you will be at it but also how far you’re willing to go to get to where you want to be. Think about that.
