AJ Osborne Podcast

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! I tell you what, I have some pretty awesome friends. Not only that, it's incredible that I get to share these amazing people and their stories with you all. Today is no exception. My great friend Kyle Wilson joins me on the podcast today and provides some of the best discussion I think I’ve ever had on this podcast about underwriting and working with capital partners. Kyle first got a taste of real estate investing like so many other investors - through house hacking. Being a professional hockey player, Kyle knew he needed to get plans for the future figured out. Fast forward to today and Kyle and his wife have built a real estate empire and systems to find, analyse, and manage the successful real estate business they’ve built. This is an amazing episode packed with tons of valuable insight that I know you’re going to really enjoy. That said I’ll let you all get to it!

I’m super excited for today’s episode because I have my great friend Leka Devatha on the show today and she’s bringing some massive value! Leka shares her story and how she got started in real estate investing after coming to the U.S. from India. As of today Leka has has done tens of millions in transactions, flips, and more and she’s just getting warmed up. But that wasn’t always the case. Leka also sheds some light on her first deal and what a learning experience it was rather than the massive success she was looking for.

She also shares some key insights into how to build a network of great people that can and WILL bring you great deals. We talk scale and so much more.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! Today we’re talking about RISK. I’ve found that the various types of real and perceived risks are vastly unknown, and vastly misunderstood. Obviously this can be a huge problem for us whether we’re entrepreneurs, employees, investors… no matter what we are. The fact is - risk cannot ever be totally eliminated. We can only control so much. So then, how do we effectively manage risk? These are great questions and ideas, and this is exactly what we’re diving into on today’s podcast. I break risk down into three pillars and we expand from there. The keys here - we should understand risk and know not only how to face it, but how to deal with and manage risk productively. We’ll never get away from risk completely and have to learn how to thrive in the uncertainty. Thanks for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host AJ Osborne! So many of us want to grow and build wealth in a secure and sustainable way. The question is… does a solution like that even exist? Well thankfully we have Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen on the podcast today to help answer that question for us. We talk about conventional wealth building advice and the importance of building a great view and perspective of what wealth truly is and can be, how to ensure access to capital and liquidity, and the process that you can walk through to help you go the right track to building real wealth. All said and done, we have to take responsibility and take an active role in building our own wealth. Our 401k or the stock market isn’t going to do it for us.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! We have an awesome guest lined up for you all today, one of our amazing partners and resources that we use on our deals - the one and only Brad St. Onge with InvestNext. In a nutshell - InvestNext is an industry leading software that helps firms manage investor relations. This is just the tip of the iceberg in regard to the level of value that InvestNext offers and how truly robust the platform is. When it comes to raising money from investors, there are numerous aspects to consider. Are all documents signed correctly? Do investors have information they need at their fingertips? How are you managing your investors and their expectations? How do you send information to investors regarding the deals you have for them? These are just a few pain points that Brad covers in today’s podcast. These are great questions to be thinking about and that you should be asking, this is especially the case when you’re operating at scale with hundreds of inventors. Brad also shares how InvestNext came to be, where things are at currently, and what the future looks like for the company. This is a phenomenal episode packed with a ton of great information for anyone who is currently working with, or who is looking to work with investors to fund deals.

It’s something we’ve never done before and I’m about as excited as a mosquito in a blood bank to share this with you all. This episode is a first time ever - it is a live podcast that took place at our Self Storage Income live event that we hosted in Coeur D’Alene Idaho. This was THE LARGEST private self storage event that has ever taken place and the energy there was unlike any conference I’ve ever been to. Now onto the podcast… The one and only Brandon Turner (Host of the Bigger Pockets Podcast) joined us on stage for this live podcast. The day previous, Brandon had made mention of the ultimate goal of becoming an architect of your real estate investment empire - meaning, knowing what pieces of the puzzle you need, and knowing how and when to utilize those pieces to build a real estate investing machine. We build off this idea in this great conversation and talk everything scale, capital, management, and more. This is one of those podcasts you’ll want the notebook and pen ready to go for. The wealth of knowledge being shared is invaluable. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your copy of my Self Storage Playbook.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host AJ Osborne! We’ve talked a lot about real estate here on the podcast, but we’ve never really dove into one asset class that has really peaked my interest… and that’s industrial space. Today we have the expert himself Drew Whalgren on the podcast to discuss the in’s and out’s of industrial real estate investing. We talk about the various investing strategies that you can utilize to invest in industrial space. We talk about how he analyzes the industrial real estate market and it differs from alternative commercial real estate investment classes like multi-family. There are incredible investment opportunities in the industrial space that you just don’t find or see in any other asset class. I’m excited to share this episode with you all and for Drew to help shed some light on these amazing assets. Thanks for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host AJ Osborne! I have an awesome and incredibly interesting episode lined up for you all today with the one and only Matthew Sullivan, Founder and CEO of QuantumRE. Now, this episode is going to differ slightly from most of my podcasts as I usually focus on the guest and their expertise or experience. Not only do we do that in today’s episode - but we also dive into what exactly QuantumRE is and what they do. Reason being, what Matthew and his team at QuantumRE is doing is so crazy interesting, it’s not something we can just gloss over. And I could bet most of you haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Just to give a teaser - we’re talking about an innovative way to access your home’s equity without taking on an additional loan, how this is powered by blockchain, and what homeowners and investors alike can do to get involved. Matthew shares the whole run down of what this all looks like, how he evaluates homes, where he’s investing and more. That said, I’m going to let you all get straight to it! Enjoy! Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! I’ve got an amazing guest lined up for you guys today who is going to help shed some light of TRUTH on the financial and investing world. I’m excited to introduce Chris Miles. Chris started his career in financial advising from day one, but quickly realized that there were some major issues in the world of financial advising. Even going so far as to call the financial advising industry “broken”. Something he said during this podcast really sends this whole issue home. In relation to financial advisors in general - he says, “...are they making good money because they make good investments, or are they making money because they’re good salesmen?”. Recognizing these issues, he chose to become the ANTI - financial advisor. A term he’s coined to help bring reality into financial advising. We’re going to unpack some of these industry wide problems and help uncover some pitfalls that you can hopefully avoid. Apart from that, we’re going to talk about the keys that will help you work because you want to, not because you have to. We’re also going to dive into stock investing and shed some truth there as well. Hopefully this helps spread some light on the issues and can help put you guys on the right track so you don’t waste your time or money in what could very well be just another sales pitch. Thanks for listening everybody! AJ Keep up with Chris on his website or listen to his podcast!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!    Debt - there are very few subjects that have gotten as bad a wrap as debt has. Don’t get me wrong, debt when you don’t understand it… can be downright deadly. But debt used as a rocket fuel for generating wealth and income… that’s when debt becomes a massive force of leverage.    But how? How can taking on debt ever be a good thing? Isn’t buying all cash a better way to go? Isn’t paying off a loan as quickly as possible the best course of action? Yes and no, just like the above gives hint to - it depends on what kind of debt we’re talking about.    Let’s clear this up once and for all - not all debt is BAD and not all debt is created equal. We have two kinds of debt - consumer debt (which is generally bad and that you should try to avoid). And then we have revenue producing debt (which is the sweet nectar of the gods for investors).    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I couldn’t be more excited to help shed some light on this subject because I see it and hear it every single day. I hope this helps you more fully understand the different types of debt, when you should and SHOULDN’T be afraid of debt, and when you can use it effectively to help grow your wealth.    Outside of that, I give a bit of economic back story in regard to capital,  the different types of markets, economic cycles, and more to really take a deep dive on the subject.    Enjoy everybody and we’ll catch you next time!  AJ Become a part of the CRE Circle: https://ajosborne.com/cre-circle/
