Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast

Becoming a doctor is certainly a difficult goal to achieve, but one that comes with big rewards in terms of helping people become healthy and earning a healthy paycheck. But it can be high stress and very demanding. Our guest today has been down that road and decided that she wanted more free time for her family, friends, personal pursuits, and adventure. That's why she switched careers from practicing medicine to investing in real estate. Dr. Patricia Red Hawk was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She attended Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia to become a family physician. And, she currently lives with her wife and kids in the Pacific Northwest. She’s the CEO of the Red Hawk Property Group and the Welliott Investment Group, is a frequent public speaker, and loves to swim, ride motorcycles, race sailboats, and teach people about investing and building wealth. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Today’s guest is a true inspiration for both men and women around the globe. She’s always felt confident enough to speak up for herself and others, and she’s used that talent to build an impressive real estate empire.   Ashley Wilson has more than ten years of experience as a real estate investor. It started with renting out rooms in her home, and turned into a full-time real estate investing business. She’s now been involved with more than $60 million worth of real estate transactions for both single- and multi-family properties. Ashley co-founded Bar Down Investments (www.bardowninvestments.com) with her husband, Kyle, and authored a newly-released book about women in real estate called “The Only Woman in the Room.” She's also an active member of The Real Estate InvestHER Community.   www.RealWealthShow.com

2020 has been a tough year, and one that probably everyone in the world could say: “I’m happy that it’s almost over!” In this episode, Rich Fettke will talk about how to practice gratefulness and create a positive mindset in time for Thanksgiving, and the New Year! www.RealWealthShow.com  

Erica Marston went from stay-at-home mom to real estate pro with a little inspiration from Robert Kiyosaki and Real Wealth Network. She started investing about four years ago, and she now owns ten properties in three states. You'll find out how she did it and what's next in this episode. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Today's guest started off as a pharmacist who wanted to create passive income so he decided to invest in rental properties. Ketan Patel didn't have a lot of money, but discovered that a shift in mindset would help him get rid of the fears and beliefs that held him back. He now helps other real estate entrepreneurs as a transformational coach. www.RealWealthShow.com  

With the stock market and real estate at record highs, and now a change in U.S. leadership, a lot of people are concerned about a potential correction. Today’s guest has been studying these things for a long time and he’s got some insights and predictions for the real estate market in this episode of the Real Wealth Show. Bruce Norris of the Norris Group is known for his ability to forecast long-term market trends and timing. He is an active investor, hard money lender, and real estate educator with over 35 years experience. He’s been involved in more than 2,000 real estate transactions as a buyer, seller, builder, and money partner. www.RealWealthShow.com  

Our guest today sent me a very sweet note. In it he said, "Having been a listener of your podcast for several years, I have learned about replacing my W-2 income with passive income from real estate investing." Well, that got my attention, so I invited David Vernich onto the Real Wealth Show to tell us how he's created a passive income stream, while working full time. David is a commercial loan officer who specializes in investor loans for the purchase of single-family rentals. He's also a long-time investor who started buying rental properties in 2007 and now co-owns more than 120 rental units www.RealWealthShow.com  

Getting started in real estate doesn’t have to be a difficult process. It just requires getting started. And the more you learn, the faster you'll want to get on it. Today's guest was working for a tech startup just 3 years ago - and it happened to be a real estate platform. And he was required to learn about real estate investing as part of the job.  Well, like many of us, he got hooked, and thirty days later he bought his first four-plex as a house hack. Over the next two-and-a-half years, he grew his portfolio to 22 units, all in the St. Louis area where he lives.  He’s with me today, to share his story and offer some rock-solid advice for people wanting to get into the real estate rental business.   www.RealWealthShow.com

Do you have a particular market where you’d like to own some rental property? Is it a market that you don’t find listed on our website or haven’t been able to get help with as an investor? Are you looking to purchase an investment property that may or may not be turnkey with property management? Maybe you'd prefer to renovate the property yourself? Or buy a home that you live in now and rent later? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you will love what we’re unveiling at RealWealth. We are creating a network of RealWealth Certified Agents in markets outside our 18 core metros to give investors more options. Today, our Director of Investor Relations and Investment Counselor, Ben Erik Smith is with me to talk about this new national brokerage, and what it means for people interested in buying investment properties outside our established areas, and possibly in your own backyard! Ben has helped our members find hundreds of rental properties as an investment counselor. He’s now in charge of launching our national brokerage. Welcome, Ben! www.RealWealthShow.com  

The housing market is red hot. The national median home price rose 13% year-over-year in September. Active listings fell 28% to an all-time low. Sales of new U.S. homes accelerated by 4.8% in August, to an annual rate of one-million units. That’s the highest since 2006. New home inventory fell to a 3.3 months of supply lowest level on records that go back to 1963. Will this home buying frenzy last? Or maybe we’re in a new kind of COVID-influenced bubble?   Who better to give us an update on the new home market than Robert D. Dietz, Ph.D. He’s the chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders, with a focus on housing and economic trends, the home building industry, survey research, and policy analysis.   www.RealWealthShow.com
