Accelerated Real Estate Investor

If you’re not making social media a part of your real estate business, you’re missing out. While you may think that hanging out on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram is a waste of time, these platforms can lead you directly to deals and new investors–and a massive following can give you instant credibility. Today’s guest is Martin Perdomo, the Elite Strategist.  Martin has 24 years of business experience, a multimillion dollar real estate portfolio, and is a certified mindset coach and speaker. He’s also the host of the Latinos in Real Estate Investing Podcast, and has built a following of over 400,000 people across his social media channels. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about how Martin created a lean and efficient content management team, amassed a massive following, and maintains his social media presence without wasting hours everyday online. You’ll also hear all about what Martin is doing to prepare for the market slowdown we’re all expecting in this new year–and what he believes you should be doing to succeed in this evolving market. Lastly, Martin opens up to me to share the story of how he grew up in the ghettos of the Dominican Republic, moved to a poor neighborhood in New York City, and set himself on a course to become a multimillion dollar investor.

Anyone that’s been following the podcast will know I’ve released many episodes on multifamily real estate. But today, we’re changing things up a bit and talking about the other darling asset of this COVID era, industrial real estate.  Joining me for this conversation is my friend and the founder of Brit properties, Joel Friedland. Joel became an industrial investor at age 31 and now holds hundreds of millions of dollars in industrial assets. He’s acquired 95 properties in the Chicago area since 1989, debt-free, and achieved 8% annual passive income with a targeted 14% IRR.  In this episode, you’ll learn about his all-cash, no-debt strategy and how to renew industrial buildings. You’ll also hear some sage advice from his tremendous career in the field.  He also takes the time to walk us through how an entrepreneur who got funding on Shark Tank became one of his main clients and how to map out investment strategies when great opportunities come your way. I know you’re going to love this interview. Enjoy!  Key Takeaways with Joel Friedland How Joel landed Shark Tank alumni Jonathan Miller as a client. How Joel structures industrial deals for limited partners and passive investors. What Joel does to create win-win situations for his investors and his tenants. What to look for as you consider buying your first industrial building. Joel’s four key takeaways for anyone looking to invest in industrial real estate.

If you are (or were) a W-2 worker, your company probably gave you the option to enroll in a retirement account. Ideally, they matched it, managed it, and made it easy for you to sign up and make contributions. If you’re an entrepreneur, saving for retirement isn’t quite as simple. Which means you’ve got to take control of your own retirement–but this creates additional opportunities to save on taxes and put away more money for the future. That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to Sean Mullaney. Sean is the president of Mullaney Financial & Tax, a fee–only fiduciary that offers advice-only financial planning. He’s also the author of The Solo 401(k): The Solopreneur’s Retirement Account, a guide that allows self-employed entrepreneurs to reduce taxes and strategically save for retirement. In our conversation, we dig into how real estate can play a role in your retirement portfolio, the advantages of the solo 401(k), and how to take advantage of the wide array of tools at your disposal that you might not even be aware of.

In the 4th installment of this series, I wanted to talk about how critically important regional managers are in your business. These folks are your decision makers and ultimately responsible for charting a course for improvements and optimizations, making sure that things are getting done. They should be in constant communication with you and your partners about literally everything. Your property managers, leasing agents, and maintenance techs are the people who keep the lights on in your buildings–and they all report to a regional manager. They wear a lot of hats and are often overseeing hundreds or thousands of units, and when they underperform, it hurts your bottom line. So today, I’m going to talk about why great regional managers are a key part of your business–and the red flags to look out for when working with one. You’ll learn how badly things can go wrong when working with regional managers, as well as an easy and very effective way to eliminate this threat from your operations once and for all. One last thing: I’ll be hosting a 3 Day Live Virtual Event from January 23-26, 2023. This event is free for members of our Mastermind Group but tickets can be purchased by non-members as well. Book your spot today by visiting: ForeverPassiveIncome.com Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why great regional managers are experienced, hard headed, and not simply yes men or women. How regional managers can fail to properly monetize your buildings by undercharging, overspending, and not planning adequately. How to secret shop your buildings to asset manage your regional managers. Want the Full Show Notes?
