With over 40 years of experience, Joel Friedland of Brit Properties tells us about his humble beginnings and how he built the empire he has today. Joel Friedland is the Founder of Brit Properties, an investment firm that connects investors to Chicago industrial real estate syndications. But before that, Joel co-founded Epic Savage Realty Partners, where he completed hundreds of transactions and led the leadership development team for over 20 years.

We’re thrilled to have him on the show to share what it’s like to lease and manage industrial real estate properties, something that our multifamily investors may not all be familiar with.

Maybe investing in agricultural real estate is the next best decision for your portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. US farmland has lower volatility and higher yields compared to traditional real estate. 2. Water source is one of the most important factors to consider when underwriting and investing in farmland. 3. When investing in farmland, you have to trust the people underwriting for you. 4.

Brandon Turner is a real estate investor, best-selling author, host of the BiggerPockets podcast, and VP of Growth of the BiggerPockets.com—one of the biggest real estate investing communities in the world. Brandon bought his first home at only 21 years old, and with the help of BiggerPockets (plus his innate investing skills)—he grew his investment portfolio rapidly. Brandon is also the founder and managing member of Open Door Capital LLC, a private real estate investment firm that helps clients achieve risk-adjusted returns through the acquisition of nationwide value-add assets. No one knows how to build a real estate business better than Brandon. In this episode, we talk about his unique financing methods, team-building strategies, and management techniques (and everything in between!). He also shares what their culture is like at BiggerPockets and Open Door Capital, and how he casts his vision throughout the entirety of his team. Plus, we get to hear what it’s like letting a business “go” and having it thrive without you—and why that is a clear sign of success. So, don’t hover over that ‘Play’ button any longer. Listen today and learn more about the visionary behind BiggerPockets.com! KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Not all tasks have the same value. Sometimes, you have to outsource one task (e.g. maintaining the house) to work on a higher-value task (e.g. building your investment portfolio). 2. At times, you have to realize that you’re not good at something in order to move your business forward. 3. When you hire the perfect COO, everything else follows. 4. It’s important for your business to not be dependent on you; you have to build it in a way that it thrives even without you.

What a year 2021 has been! We are closing strong with a review of this year from an investor’s perspective, done by yours truly. The pandemic has put us all through a massive rollercoaster of a year. People have lost their livelihoods, loved ones, and their normal lives. Bringing with it significant changes in the market, the “pandemic inflation” has also made life harder, especially for low-income families and individuals. In this episode, I share my insights on the most important aspects of the pandemic inflation, including its effect on the supply chain, wages, migration, and cost of housing and living. Moreover, we go over the pandemic’s effect on investor behavior, which will perhaps be the most interesting topic for everyone listening in. The pandemic has caused major shifts in the market, which is why I want to talk about my observations on current deals in comparison with normal times to help my fellow investors tread carefully during these volatile times. So, buckle up, put on your headphones, and let’s go over 2021 together! KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Limited supply increases price, which trickles down to everything else. 2. From a factual standpoint, the pandemic has caused the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. 3. When people move to less expensive areas, they bring in large amounts of money. This results in a large influx of population, and thus a rise in the cost of living. 4. The more people that want to buy homes, the higher cost of housing and living costs—even in bigger cities. 5. During inflation, investors want to put their money in hard assets—including real estate. LINKS Want to invest in my deals? - Click Here to Find out More! reedgoossens.com/investment-portfolio/

And, of course, we talk about how he and his team choose where, when, and how to invest in perfect properties for co-living. Co-living is a new take on the boarding house concept, and HomeRoom is one of the few companies that involve investors in the equation.

We have hit a huge milestone recently with our first-ever multifamily deals, and we are beyond excited to share the news with you, our dear listeners! We have recently sold 388 units that we got on a two-pack deal just two and a half years into the business plan.

I am chatting to Matthew Owens from OCG Properties about how international investors can obtain financing for their real estate investments, and we examine the benefits of turnkey properties. Show Notes: In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights from our conversation with Matthew Owens from OCG Properties: About Matthew: - Founder of OCG Properties www.ocgproperties.com a company that specializes in acquiring cash flowing real estate investments for foreign investors. - Licensed CPA - Specializes in value-add residential and multi family real estate investments - Purchased and renovated over 450 properties across the U.S. Fun Fact: Matthew is recently a new dad, and this new responsibility has further inspired him to creating long term passive income to help him retire earlier and spend more time with his family. Nuts and Bolts: Turnkey properties and financing options for international investors 1. OCG properties produce ‘turnkey’ properties for their international clients. a. Finding under market cash flowing properties (distressed or run down) b. Complete renovations to make theses properties ‘rent-ready’ c. Find tenants to rent the properties (get signed rental agreements) d. Have their local property management team oversee the day to day operations e. Then OCG on-sells this ‘turnkey’ cash flowing property to their international investors; or form a joint ownership with their clients if needed. 2. OCG saw the need to create a financing structure for international investors who want to buy U.S. real estate. a. How does it work? b. International investors are required to put down 50% of the purchase price (PP); c. OCG will sell one of their turnkey properties to the international investor with the remaining 50% of the (PP) as a loan; d. OCG Properties becomes the bank that lends the international investor the additional money they need to purchase the property; e. OCG will only lend on the properties they find and on sell (bringing the financing operation in-house); 3. Typically U.S. lenders look at international investors as more risky as they are so far away; with OCG, they have already sourced the property, they know the quality of the investment so they are confident they can provide 50% financing to help international investors purchase a great cash flowing asset. 4. How do you qualify as international investor? a. 50% down in cash – bank statements proving investor have the required capital; b. 2 years of foreign tax statements; c. 3 months of recent pay stubs; d. 1003 loan application (standard loan form here in the U.S. it’s a summary of your income and expenses of your daily life); 5. International Tax Treaties: OCG Properties will help international investors understand their countries tax treaty with the U.S. as there are certain withholding requirements – OCG will put you in contact with the best U.S. tax advisors that can help you understand what is involved; simple and easy!
