Topics Covered:
01:29 - Defining what turnkey properties are
03:23 - What's behind going through the trouble of building those properties only to sell them to other investors?
05:39 - Attractive markets for these turnkey properties
08:16 - Rental price range and expected cash flows from these turnkey rentals
9:51 - Overcoming challenges of cross-border investing
Key Takeaways:
"Once we've hit our portfolio needs, we can open it up to our other investors. With every investor, we have a specific investment plan and strategy based on how many assets we want to own. But we've already built those teams and systems. So, you just keep that wheel turning to offer those products to our clients." - Zach Lemaster
"Florida's probably the best market for appreciation, and as well as cash flow right now, because there are so many people moving, there's a huge rental demand." - Zach Lemaster
"We also invest heavily in Alabama, and some Midwestern states. We can have a little bit lower price point, maybe not as much appreciation, but potentially better cash flow would be areas like Kansas City, Missouri, and different areas in Ohio and Indianapolis."- Zach Lemaster
"The tax structure is extremely attractive to own real estate in the US. And it's beneficial for investors to invest here because of that. So there really isn't a lot of reportable income. And they can operate through different tax structures to set themselves up for success, say when they have capital gains, and they want to do something on the exit of the property." - Zach Lemaster
"We've had investors go through conventional loans. When we say conventional, that's your 30-year fixed loan. Many people don't know that that exists for Canadians. But obviously, we do that a lot for our Canadian clients. So, it's just about building a plan and strategy with you based on your goals. And then, mapping it out."- Zach Lemaster

"When I hear market shift, recessions, and inflation and all these things, I usually think the opposite of what the media will lead us to believe that Rome is burning. When those things happen, I think it's always an awesome opportunity for investors." - Mike Simmons
"To me, the market, I think of it like the weather. The market doesn't have a feeling. It's not out to get you; it's not good or bad. It's just what it is. And if you adjust your approach, your model a little bit if necessary to accommodate what's happening in the market, it can always be great." - Mike Simmons
"For the last seven years, direct mail has been the workhorse for me. It's crazy to me that it still works in 2022. It sounds antiquated but it simply does work." - Mike Simmons
"It's important to understand, we talk a lot about ABCD neighborhoods in real estate, really great, really bad. The money is in that BC area." - Mike Simmons
"The first-time home buyers, people who are downsizing, it's just that meaty part of our market. And that's where I do most of my marketing." - Mike Simmons
"What would I do if I was moving into any market? What size list do I want to be mailing to? I usually tell people to shoot for between three and five thousand mailers per month." - Mike Simmons
" I've done a lot of testing. Marketing depends, largely the biggest factor is timing." - Mike Simmons
"The very basic, even black and white or yellow card with black writing, whatever basic message. I want to buy your house. I can close quickly no closing costs. All that basic casual postcard will outperform the highly produced professional postcard every time, and it almost never fails to work that way." - Mike Simmons

Real estate can become complex, but you can always opt for simplicity in the way you manage the business.

"When we hit a recession, people downsize, businesses downsize. When there is trauma in their lives or their business, they downsize. And then they put stuff in storage until things turn back around again. And so, we see a spike in demand for storage during a recession." - Scott Myers
"In self-storage, if somebody doesn't pay you, you put an overlock on their unit on the sixth day, and then after 90 days or 60 days, depending upon what state you're in, then you get to sell their stuff off, and the unit opens up again, and you're able to move in the next person waiting in line." - Scott Myers
"Just from a simplicity standpoint, we would rather manage people's stuff than manage people, and we can use technology to run our facilities." - Scott Myers

Deploying BRRRR into your property deals is not a walk in the park, especially when you're new and getting yourself wet in the waters.
Experimenting with what works and what doesn't would take most of your time, money, and effort. This doesn't work well when you want to maximize your profits. Besides, you also have your joint partners to consider who would benefit from your earnings.
You either do things on your own, risk your limited resources or learn how to grow faster from someone who has successfully done the same thing.

 "98% of the time, we keep it at 50/50. But there have been occasions where we've done bigger deals to modify the share structure, given the amount of capital required. We just want to be fair both ways. We tried to create that win-win scenario between ourselves and them." - Adrian Pannozzo

Heard of the stigma surrounding probates in real estate investing?
While there has been a discredit to probate matters, there is always a way to turn things around and let the deceased's executors and heirs call you up to sell the property.

"From a branding and marketing perspective, anytime you can get in front of a seller, it's always better for you. Then if you have to go through an agent, work with agents. But, getting in front of a seller, you have the chance to show who you are." - Sharon Vornholt
"I'm relying on the mailers now that's in conjunction with having a website so that they can check you out because they are going to check you out."- Sharon Vornholt
"You mail everybody every month; it's consistency. Because your competition, 90% of the people will stop on or before the third mailing. That's what you need to hang on to. They're going to get in there, and they don't get a bunch of deals in the first month or two. They're gone. So, you've got to be the last man standing." - Sharon Vornholt
"My rule is, mail everybody every month as long as the house is available." - Sharon Vornholt
