“Choose a market that has a strong fundamental, appreciation potential. You want to catch a bit of that momentum. And I’m not saying speculate and, and chase after appreciation, I’m saying, have the cashflow and the rate of return right from the get-go.” – Marco Santarelli
“I was under the belief that if you buy a rental property, you should hold it forever and never sell that property. That works. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s one strategy. But there are also other strategies in real estate. There’s just a tremendous amount of flexibility in how you can create wealth and make money in real estate.” – Marco Santarelli
“The importance of the neighborhood is critically important. In fact, I would go as far as saying that you can mitigate most of your risk in investing in real estate by investing in the right neighborhoods. It’s not so much the market as a whole, that’s a macroeconomic perspective and where you invest.” – Marco Santarelli

“The reasons that buy and hold stuck and resonated with me are because you can create wealth over the long-term, and generate passive income in the near term. And those two things combined are a really powerful thing to allow you to create that generational wealth and build financial freedom in the near term.  It allows you to achieve that point that I call financial freedom, and allowing you to essentially be able to retire from your day job, which was a big point in my life.” – Jacob Ayers
“Always have that vision and that skill in the back of your mind to get big and do things bigger and quicker.” – Jacob Ayers
“I think one thing you’ve got to focus on is the mindset.  Why are you doing this? What’s driving you? And if you can tap into something deep there that will motivate you to take action. And to me, it came down to mindset, having that abundance mindset, having the drive to build something for yourself. That desire is what pushed me over that cliff.” – Jacob Ayers
“Podcasting has been the most phenomenal networking tool I think I could have envisioned.” – Jacob Ayers
“Think about why you’re going to do the podcast. Those are the reasons why I started doing it. And it’s not passive.  So, don’t go into it with that kind of a mentality because you’ll be sorely disappointed when you come to find out how much work it is.” – Jacob Ayers

Key Takeaways:
“Build your business around that goal that you have for your life, and then do what matters. Make your business work. Don’t make the other way around where the business controls everything you do with your life.” – Chad Carson
“I think the consistent thread for me is just authentic with your sellers, and with your private lenders. Have the humility to say, “I don’t know everything.” Take that attitude of “I don’t have it all figured out; here’s what I do know.” I think people see that as being real, as opposed to always saying, “I’m the best.” – Chad Carson
“Fake it before you make it. That’s the lesson you’re taught as an investor.”– Chad Carson
“It’s interesting because every time you leave or every time you change or every time that market changes, you have to act like a beginner again. And I think as long as all of us, no matter how much experience we have are willing to reevaluate what worked before because it might not work next year. And that’s a pretty good approach to business in general.”– Chad Carson
“I think the biggest mistake is just window shopping. Find some strategy. You’re listening to a podcast. You’re reading a book. Take that piece of information. If I do something this month, I go out, and apply it.” – Chad Carson
“Don’t worry about being perfect. Don’t worry about being the best right now. Just be a beginner. Make some mistakes. Don’t make the biggest mistakes. Don’t go here and do something that’s going to make you bankrupt, but make some mistakes.” – Chad Carson

Summary
Reed Goossens is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, author, public speaker, and all-round good bloke (as they say in Australia :-)) In 2012, he quit his job in Australia and moved half-way across the globe to the USS. With limited funds, no credit, and no network he started investing in US real estate. He now controls over $120 million worth of multi-family real estate in his portfolio.
Today on Property Profits Real Estate Podcast, find out how Reed, an Aussie mate made it into real estate investing in the US within just a year of relocating, the strategies he followed, and the tips and tricks that he can share for someone who wants to dive into this investing opportunity.
Topics Covered:
01:12 – How did that move from Australia to the US happen
03:03 –  Digging right into multi-family properties the moment he relocated to the states
05:57 – Starting it out in real estate with not much capital, just building relationships with banks and lenders
06:37 – What is syndication in Real Estate
09:33 – Common mistakes in multi-family investing that have new investors screwing up
11:34 – One superpower that he has that makes him so good at  real estate
13:18 – How to get out of your own fear of getting started 
17:32 Talking all about his book entitled “Investing in the US: The Ultimate Guide to US Real Estate”
Key Takeaways:
“I think the big thing is the first step you need to do is understand what market and what you want to invest in.” – Reed Goossens
“Choose a market where you may have a bit of competitive advantage. Maybe you’ve got a relative there or a friend there or someone who can share information that you, because you live in Canada, don’t necessarily know that being South of Smith Street is bad or being North of Smith street is bad.” – Reed Goossens. 
“Once you’ve chosen a market or a couple of markets, I always encourage people to underwrite a minimum of 50 deals in any one market because that is a great desktop study on getting to know the market without actually being boots on the ground. And then you get to the second, and the third thing and then reaching out to local brokers, local partners.” – Reed Goossens
“If you can partner with anyone, boots on the ground, I highly recommend doing it because it will then incentivize the person who’s on the ground. They’re part of the deal that can have you both, you’ve got shared interests. And so, you don’t have to necessarily worry if it’s just your deal that’s thousands of kilometers away and sort of set it and forget it, and no one’s really looking over it.” – Reed Goossens
“And I think, as entrepreneurs in this world, things are drastically and rapidly changing, we’ve really got to be like a surfer, you know, like ride the wave of change and be okay with change and not just have the blinkers on and go down the path of this being, well-traveled, and try and blaze your own path if you can and do things a little differently.” – Reed Goossens

Summary
Sharon Vornholt began investing since 1998, and she has been a full-time investor since 2008. She helps real estate investors create unforgettable brands and marketing plans that work. She has been leading probate investing experts for more than a decade, and she can show you how you can become the go-to expert in your area in just 6 short weeks.

Topics Covered:
00:26 – What’s her real estate investing strategy
01:35 – What are her interests these days
01:54 – What got her interested in real estate
02:50 – How long was she into home inspection business
03:29 – What was it like for her when the great recession took place in the US in 1998
04:48 – Real estate newbies’ common mistakes
06:30 – Difference between branding and marketing
08:21 – How to create and enhance your brand
13:42 – Just act genuinely
15:39 – What is a probate deal
Key Takeaways:
“They think, well, I’ve only done a few deals, I can work on that later, it’s not important. But that’s not the case. You need to be working on building your brand from day one so that when you’re ready to step into your brand, it’s already there.” – Sharon Vornholt
“If I had one piece of advice for people is, the thing you absolutely have to get done is your marketing because nothing else matters. If you don’t have leads coming in the door, you don’t have anything to learn to negotiate. You don’t need a buyer’s list because you don’t have deals. So you have to get the leads coming in the door. And if you outsource that and do it faster, you can make more money faster.” – Sharon Vornholt 
“So, I like to tell people marketing is how you get leads and branding is why they choose you. So if you don’t build your persona, build your brand online, build your brand at your REIA, somebody is going to do it for you, they’re going to be saying, well that Dave guy, and then that’s going to be their opinion.” – Sharon Vornholt
“The online world today, we had the unique opportunity to be seen as experts. Now you have to know your stuff. There’s no doubt about that. But you can, whether it’s through a blog or a podcast, which we do, or a YouTube channel, you can actively show people that this is what you do, this is my area of expertise. And you don’t have to wait till somebody kind of figures it out.” – Sharon Vornholt 
“Well, I tell them, you know, there is no faster way for you to become known in your industry than through video” – Sharon Vornholt

Key Takeaways:
“When I make accidents, when they hurt myself, I’d learned not to do that again. When I make accidents, and they feel good, and they make me some money, I double back around and say, how did I do that? What did I do? How do I do that again?” – Mitch Stephen
“I journal 1200 pages, but for some reason, I was journaling to an audience or a listener. I was speaking to someone, trying to heal myself.  Some people close to me got hold of it and wanted to read it. And I said it was fine with me. I didn’t care because at the time I didn’t give a crap about anything. Too much grief. And which is what made the book work was because I didn’t give a damn.” – Mitch Stephen
“I wrote this book to get your juices to flow, and it starts on how to generate leads with no money. Like most of us started broke, right? Everyone I know started broke.  I started broke. So, it starts with cheesy ways to do it with nothing.” – Mitch Stephen
“Everything runs its course. What used to work doesn’t work anymore. Maybe it’s time to try bandit signs again because maybe they’re coming back now.” – Mitch Stephen
“What happens to rent when housing markets collapse? No one can buy a house. That’s why they collapsed because the bank stopped loaning. So, if you’re not buying a house, you’re renting a house.” – Mitch Stephen

“With commercial real estate and self-storage, it takes a little bit more to learn to understand how to underwrite it and put on it to determine if something is good. Hire feasibility study consultants and appraisers to help along the way.  But on the front end, to be able to identify opportunities there, it’s a little more education to know and understand what that looks like.” – Scott Meyers
“I think patience along the way leads to my next point.  It takes longer for anybody that’s going out from scratch to our students from the get-go to find a facility that may meet their investment criteria. It makes sense as a value and opportunity.  It may take six to 12 months before they identify and close on a project.” – Scott Meyers
“When you run out of cash, you need to be open to partners. And so, accepting it and understanding what partnerships look like, risk tolerance, threshold, and whether you want to be the driver or bring in somebody will also help in those decisions to compliment you.” – Scott Meyers

“I think the big mistake is that the numbers are different. The number, like they see a house that’s like 75,000 that rents for $750 a month. And then go and buy it. But they don’t realize that that’s a commonplace. And they’re not buying a deal at all. And they’re buying at a market or even above market. And they, they don’t understand that because it’s totally different. You bought that $75,000 property, but it’s only worth $65,000, and it’s going to take you five or 10 years to get up to your 75.” – Glen Sutherland

And I’m getting that beloved passive income back into my portfolio.” – Mark Podolsky

I would say, look where other people are buying raw land and start there. That’d be worth checking out. I know it’s counterintuitive. You’d think, well, I don’t want to go where there’s any competition. There’s really no competition.” – Mark Podolsky
