While there's no guarantee that properties will increase in value, historically they have over time -- especially in high growth areas of the nation. But if you want faster appreciation, you have to create it. Real estate investors "force" appreciation by increasing the value of a property through updates, renovations, or development. In this episode, my guest Victor Menasce, shares how he forces appreciation on his properties. And he says it all starts with the right mindset.  Victor is a senior partner at Y Street Capital, the President of the Ottawa Real Estate investing Organization, and the host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He's also the author of "Magnetic Capital." You’ll also find a wealth of information about growing your real estate business with our new audiobook: “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” You’ll find it on Amazon.

Do you have a rich brain? If you don't, you might not have a rich wallet either! It takes a certain mindset to be successful in business, and that includes real estate. If you don’t have the right mind-money relationship, you may find yourself sabotaging your wealth-building efforts not just once, but over and over again.  In this episode, you’ll hear from Bronson Hill. He’s a managing member at Bronson Equity and a general partner in more than 2000 multifamily units worth more than $200 million. He's also the host of The Mailbox Money Show, has spoken with more than 1500 investors, and has raised more than $40 million for his Real Estate and ATM Machine Fund deals. Bronson authored the besting-selling book, “Fire Yourself: Replace Your Working Income with Passive Income in 3 Years or Less” and a new book that’s about to be released called “Rich Brain.” Bronson loves to travel and has visited more than 30 countries. He’s also a lifelong learner who loves to read and a singer/songwriter who’s composed over 75 songs that he occasionally performs in the Los Angeles area. He likes to keep fit and runs every day, and hopes to help end modern day human slavery as a partner with the Dressember organization. Of course, he’s able to do all this because he earns passive income from his real estate business. He says on his website: “I believe the goal of generating wealth is not swimming in piles of cash, but in allowing people to more effectively fulfill their purpose in life.” If you'd like to continue reading and expanding your mindset, go check out our new audiobook, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self -Managing Business,” so that you can have more freedom to live life on your own terms.

I have a special guest here on the Real Wealth show today. I'm sure you've heard of him. In fact, you may have heard him during our virtual live event last Saturday.  Ken McElroy went from being a janitor, to  buying his first single rental property in college to building a multi-billion dollar business in apartments.  Does the quality of life diminish as the portfolio expands? It can, if you don’t scale your business wisely. That’s exactly what we cover in our new book, Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business. To celebrate the book launch, we hosted a virtual event with guest speakers sharing their own success stories. In this interview, you’ll hear the conversation we had with Ken McElroy. He’s a real estate veteran with over three decades of experience that began with one rental property in college. Today, his company manages a portfolio of over 9,000 units across Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma, valued at more than $2 billion. While Ken has certainly put in the work and the time to grow his business, you’ll be amazed to learn that he now spends just 90 minutes a week managing it! Want to know how he does it? Hit “play” and listen to the interview. Ken’s expertise spans multifamily properties, commercial developments, property management, and strategic investing, which he shares in this conversation. Beyond his real estate ventures, he’s also a successful podcaster, YouTuber, and best-selling author. Check out more of his insights at his website Infinite Returns. And if you’re looking to scale your own business, be sure to get your copy of Scaling Smart, published by Bigger Pockets and available on Amazon.

How do you build a real estate portfolio when you already have a busy career that takes up most of your time? Former NFL star, Devon Kennard, can tell you exactly what it takes to do that. Devon played for the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions before he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. As a pro football player, he knew his career wouldn’t last forever so he carved out just five hours a week to work on his real estate side hustle and turn it into a cash-flowing portfolio that would maintain his lifestyle after football. In today’s episode, you’ll hear the kind of discipline and dedication it took to put his plan into action, how he’s created financial stability with four passive-income investing strategies, the mindset he needed to turn a side-hustle into a financial game plan, and how his efforts have turned out for him and his family. He’s also passionate about sharing what he’s learned and has written two books to help other people find financial freedom – “It All Adds Up: Designing Your Game Plan for Success” and his newly released “Real Estate Side Hustle: Four Passive Investing Strategies to Build Wealth Beyond Your Day Job.” And he says you don’t need a football player’s paycheck to do what he has done. You can also learn how to strategically build a self-managing business that’s profitable by reading our new book, “Scaling Smart.” My husband Rich and I co-authored the book, which just went on sale September 10th. Bigger Pockets asked us to write it based on our decades of combined experience with our real estate investing company RealWealth.

Have you gotten a little dizzy trying to figure out today’s multifamily market? Investors have faced significant challenges. In addition to loans that need refinancing at higher rates and higher costs for things like property insurance and real estate taxes, rents have been softening or even reversing because of a massive increase in supply. That’s not an easy problem to overcome for many multi-family property owners.   In today’s episode, you’ll hear from the president of Break of Day Capital, Gary Lipsky. He’ll be talking about how investors and syndicators are dealing with challenges like the cost of property management, maintenance, and renovations, what investors should be aware of as they buy into syndication deals and whether lower values are creating opportunities by offsetting higher costs.   Gary has more than 20 years of experience in the real estate industry that includes the founding of a multifamily syndication business with more than 3,200 apartment units. He’s the author of “Best in Class” and his newly released “Invest Smart: Spotting Red Flags in Real Estate Syndications,” the founder of Asset Management Summit, and the host of the Real Estate Investor Podcast.    You can find out more about his books at Amazon, along with our new book, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” They are both at Amazon. “Scaling Smart” went on sale September 10th. My co-author husband, Rich, and I will be hosting a virtual launch party on September 21st, with special guests that are mentioned in the book and plenty of time to answer your questions.

We are counting down the days until the release of our new book, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” My husband Rich and I co-authored the book to share what we have learned about business strategy as the co-founders of real estate investing company, RealWealth.  In this episode, we talk about some of those strategies with a woman we mention in the book – entrepreneur, real estate investor, and venture capitalist, Lisa Song Sutton. Before she launched and scaled several companies in various industries including real estate, she was a former litigation attorney in Las Vegas and a former Miss Nevada. She is currently a General Partner for a $20 million venture capital fund called The Veteran Fund which invests in veteran-led companies. You’ll hear about some of the key concepts we focus on in our book and the real life experiences that have helped all three of us get clear on our life and business goals. Among the key concepts in this interview: how you choose the right business for profit, impact, and purpose, how you find a partner that shares your vision, how you can deal with shifting priorities, how to make it happen as a husband and wife team, and much much more! We did this interview during the 2024 Limitless Financial Freedom Expo in Dallas where we were also celebrating the release of our new book (September 10th). Bigger Pockets asked us to write the book based on Rich’s 20 years of experience as a business coach and our combined 40 years of experience creating and scaling our own company. We’ll also be holding a book launch party on September 8th at a climbing gym in Denver, but if you miss that, you can join us for a virtual event on September 21st. It’s free to participate.

Should you hold on to that long-time rental or trade it in for something else? Many people say you should hold forever, but is that always the best way to go? In this episode, you’ll hear when it might make sense to break that rule for the sake of better cash flow or better appreciation. We call this process “portfolio rebalancing.” Among the topics we discuss are property performance reviews, portfolio diversification and risk management, the 1031 exchange, investing at different life stages, and when it might be best to sell or to hold on to your investment properties for the long-term. Joining me to discuss your options are two of our experienced and long-time RealWealth investment counselors, Joe Torre and Aristotle Kumpis. They are active investors who have been advising RealWealth investors for many years. Joe began investing in real estate in 2004 and has a track record of success in both up and down markets. Before he came on board with RealWealth he worked as a data analyst for tech companies in Silicon Valley and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has an MBA in Finance from Columbia University Business School in New York. He enjoys helping people create generational wealth. Aristotle got his real estate license in 2007 and has been helping investors find cash-flowing rental properties since then. He was inspired by his parents who owned rental properties in St. Louis, where he grew up. He attended the University of Missouri in Saint Louis and moved to Southern California in 2002. He also likes to write music and spend time outdoors, especially with his family. During the interview, we mentioned a recent webinar on real estate lending with Richard Advani of Guaranteed Rate.

Are you energized by the thought of starting your own business but overwhelmed by the amount of work it will take? Or maybe you’ve already begun, but you feel like you’ve reached a plateau and don’t know how to get it going again? Or maybe you’ve just gotten through one major hurdle and can’t muster the enthusiasm to tackle another? These are just examples of the things we can feel when we don’t have the right tools or strategies to take our business goals to the next level, whether it’s for real estate investing or any other kind of business.

Are you familiar with the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad? How about the investing game Cashflow Quadrant? If you know about either of these, you’re probably also familiar with the legendary Robert Kiyosaki who wrote the book and created the game to teach people about wealth creation and real estate investing.    He was on our show many years ago at the very beginning of our podcast. Now, as we celebrate our 1,000th episode, he’s come back on to our show to talk about the importance of financial literacy and the building of wealth through the responsible use of debt.
