Syndicated real estate deals can be complicated and can look like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but you CAN make sense of it all with a few good pointers! And that’s what you’re going to get in this interview – a short-but-sweet overview of the syndicated real estate deal in language you can understand. Our guest is a syndication lawyer who will explain things like capital calls and how to deal with them, the difference between a private placement memorandum and an operating agreement, and why it’s so important to look at how the syndicators are defining their terms. One of those oh-so-important terms is the “preferred return.” You definitely want to understand that one!  Attorney Bethany LaFlam describes herself as a seasoned deal lawyer, a conscious wealth creator, a real estate investor, and a mother. She has more than 20 years of experience practicing law and is currently a managing partner for the Premier Law Group, which focuses mostly on real estate syndications and funds. Among other career highlights is Bethany’s first job at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm called Quinn Emanuel. She then launched a boutique law firm in Newport Beach, California, and merged that practice into a firm in Chicago. Her clients have ranged from real estate syndicators and developers to industries involving aerospace, energy, medical services, and technology. If you'd like to put Bethany’s advice into practice, please check out our current syndicated deal in Ridgewater, Oregon. We are building homes there and are offering a 12% preferred return to accredited investors. You can find out more at https://growdevelopments.com Thanks for listening!

With interest rates hovering around 7% and housing prices still soaring, does it make sense to be a homeowner? Or would it be wiser to rent, spend less money, and enjoy more lifestyle flexibility? And how will the lawsuits against NAR impact the cost of buying a home? Will they help bring prices down by reducing real estate agent fees? These are hot topics for American home buyers and investors. In this episode, you’ll hear from a guest who’s made it his business to democratize real estate agent fees. He also believes that, in many cases, renting is a better financial option than buying. What you’ll hear in this interview is a lively discussion about how the lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors might impact home prices, housing inventory, and real estate agent compensation. The debate also heats up when we discuss the virtues of real estate investing versus stock market investing. If you know me, you know where I stand on that issue! My guest, Jack Ryan, is the founder and CEO of REX Real Estate, which is a startup proptech brokerage that provides a digital alternative to the traditional real estate agent model. Jack has an impressive educational background with degrees from Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School. He’s a former Goldman Sachs partner who transitioned into a high school teaching position on the South Side of Chicago before he founded REX. He now resides in Austin, Texas. You’ll find his book on Amazon: “Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home: A Case Against Home Ownership”.

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.

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?

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.

Learn how to avoid capital gains tax on property sales by utilizing a 1031 exchange. Expert Jeff Bemis shares insights on maximizing tax savings, profits, and strategic planning in real estate investments. Discover the importance of backup plans and tax deferral strategies, and explore the potential of 1031 exchanges for generating passive income.

Are you wondering which real estate asset class will be the most profitable in 2024 and beyond? In this episode, you’ll hear from an expert who began his real estate career right after the Global Financial Crisis or what many of us call the Great Recession in 2010. He worked in New York City with a fund that was acquiring all kinds of distressed assets so he’s had exposure to various real estate strategies, and to my great satisfaction, he sees residential properties as one of the asset classes with the most upside. Let me introduce Christian Gore. He’s the founder and managing partner of G1 Capital Partners, a private equity firm with some $9.5 billion transactions across the US. One of his primary concerns is the outsized demand for affordable housing, and how G1 can help meet that demand so that tenants can afford to live and work near their jobs. One of the metros that he’s focusing on is Dallas and the surrounding markets in Texas. He’s utilizing artificial intelligence tools to compile the kind of data he needs to make informed decisions, and is working on build-to-rent properties as a solution for renters who want an affordable, single-family lifestyle. Built-to-rent is the direction that we are taking at RealWealth. As a member, we can show you how to invest in a brand new property that is built to be a rental. You can find out more at realwealthshow.com. It’s free to join and once you’ve sign up, you can talk to an investment counselor who can point you in the right direction. You can also find out more about property teams working with us at our live event on Saturday, May 4th in San Francisco. Just go to realwealthshow.com and click on Connect and then Live Events.
