Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast

I love getting together with long-time real estate investing friends. It's been a few decades now since I started investing in rental properties and co-founded RealWealth to help other people do the same. We recently held a live event in the San Francisco Bay Area to showcase a few rental markets we are excited about and I had the opportunity to catch up with many people I've gotten to know over the years. You're going to hear from one of those people in this interview who also happens to be one of my all-time favorite real estate experts! My guest today is none other than Brandon Turner, former host of the very popular BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast. His current podcast is called: "The Better Life Podcast." As real estate investor, he is the founder of Open Door Capital LLC and has built a portfolio with more than 13,000 units and more than $1 Billion in assets under management. He's also a prolific author on the topic of real estate. You'll see many of his books on Amazon including: "The Book on Rental Property Investing," "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Managing Rental Properties." In this interview, you'll hear his personal story, what he's investing in, how he deals with new investing challenges, and the three things he wishes he did differently from the start. Keep listening! You're sure to be educated and entertained!

Homeowners are seeing their insurance costs skyrocketing, and in some cases, they are getting their insurance canceled all together, even after they've bought insurance from the same company for years without any claims. What should homeowners and real estate investors know about buying property insurance in today's market? In this episode, you'll hear from an insurance expert with decades of experience. He'll talk about why insurance rates have gone up so much, how inflation and natural disasters are playing into this, what you can do if your policy is canceled, what insurance options are recommended for landlords, and how insurance brokers can make it easier to get a policy that fits your needs and your wallet.

There are so many ways to invest your money, but it's difficult to know whether you are making the right decisions. Should you invest in real estate, stocks, bonds, or just tuck your money away in a savings account? Is it smart to invest when inflation remains stubbornly high? What happens if we really do have a recession? What's up with the central bank and interest rates? In today's episode, you'll hear from Mike Larson who teaches people about money, the economy, and how to invest. He's the vice president and editor-in-chief of an educational platform called MoneyShow where he oversees all aspects of investor education, content creation and conferences. Previously, he was a senior editor and analyst at Weiss Ratings and also worked at Bankrate.com and Bloomberg News. His areas of expertise as an analyst include commercial and residential real estate, central bank policy, and domestic and global interest rates, You can see Mike in person at an upcoming symposium called "The Big Money Pivot" this May 7th through 9th. It's being held at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, California, which is very close to the San Francisco airport. Mike will be giving the opening remarks and an update on the market. I will also be giving my 2024 Housing Forecast and Real Estate Investing Outlook as one of the speakers. You'll find more information on the symposium under the live events tab at MoneyShow.com.

Welcome to a very special episode of The Real Wealth Show. Today, we dive into a personal story about how I got into real estate and the real estate professional who opened so many doors for me and became my mentor. It's a story about how we came together as co-hosts of a wealth building radio show many years ago, how both of us turned challenges into opportunities, and how he helped me during a very difficult time in my life, although he claims that he also learned a lot from me! This special guest is real estate investor, home builder, mortgage broker, mentor, coach trainer, and best-selling author Gary Massari. He got his start a long time ago at Falender Properties. Gary would find the land and then work with his company subdividing and selling the lots to builders. He's currently the CEO of REI Homes & ADU's out of Danville, California which specializes in the construction of energy efficient smart homes and ADUs. And he's the CEO of REI Fortunes which teaches people how to create debt free wealth. Back in the early days as my radio show co-host, he also taught financial wealth principles to our more than 25,000 weekly listeners, including me. I was a stay-at-home mom at the time who was suddenly launched into the role of breadwinner and needed to figure out a way to support two young daughters and a husband going through a medical crisis. I'm eternally grateful for all that Gary taught me. But as you'll hear in this interview, Gary also claims to have learned alot from me since, over time, we ended up doing things very differently in the real estate world, and we've both been successful. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode about how our real estate experiences not only gave us financial stability and freedom, but how they also shaped our lives in ways that aren't measured by money. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn how to navigate the complexities of real estate investment with resilience, warmth, and wisdom. Please join RealWealth if you'd like to create your own path to financial freedom with real estate. We'd love to have you on board! It's free to join and will give you the resources and connections you need to build a rental portfolio. As always, I encourage you to be a podcast subscriber if you haven't already done so.

Do you have a really clear strategy for your real estate portfolio and a clear vision for where you want to go? Most of us know we need this, but maybe we haven't taken the time to figure it out or we just simply don't know how. In today's episode, you'll hear from someone who shares some great insights on how to create a strategy that fits your goals. You might recognize the name Dave Meyer. As a real estate investor and VP for Data and Analytics for BiggerPockets, he's been on the main podcast many times. He also hosts the new BiggerPockets "On the Market" podcast, for which I also appear as co-host. And he's the author of "Start with Strategy," which is just being released, and before that, "By the Numbers." In this interview, David talks about strategy, vision, deal design, and portfolio management. Dave has done most of his investing in Colorado, but lives in Europe so he's had to learn how to invest from a distance.You can follow Dave on Instagram @thedatadeli And you can learn more about real estate investing as a RealWealth member.

Are your real estate investments earning enough profit to make it all worthwhile? Do you know how much money is going out versus how much is coming back in? Do you need a better way of tracking the cash flow that you're working so hard to create? In this episode, you'll hear from real estate investor, David Richter, who learned by experience that he was spending too much for the amount of money he was getting from his rental properties. So he created a system for tracking cash flow called "Profit First" to help himself and other investors understand exactly how much they were really making. David has been investing in real estate for more than 10 years and has closed more than 850 deals. That includes wholesale, turnkey, BRRRR, owner finance, rentals, lease options, and other investing strategies. He created his Profit First cash flow system after he realized the need for tracking his cash flow. He's also the author of: "Profit First for Real Estate Investing," and he's the founder of SimpleCFO Solutions to help other investors so they can "stop living from deal to deal." You can also find out more about how to manage your real estate portfolio, get organized, avoid taxes, and make a profit by signing up for a free RealWealth membership at realwealthshow.com.
