Things like that that seem kind of funny to say, but really digging into who they are personally.” – April Crossley

If networking and meeting many people as part of your work makes you nervous, in a way, and drains your energy, you must be an introvert.
But you're not alone.
That is often the thing with introverts; they rather listen than do the speaking.
But, as introverts, how can you make it in the extroverted world of real estate?
Let's find out as our guest lays down tips for you.
Ashley Harwood is a fierce advocate for introverts. She began her real estate career in 2013 and built a 6-figure business as a solo agent before launching Move Over Extroverts In 2018.

So, Ashley started developing training materials, classes, and coaching programs for her people, her fellow introverts.
In this episode, Ashely shares how she managed to run a real estate business following her introverted-friendly ways, tips, and strategies.

Key Takeaways:
“Think about it as three-legged stool; you’re on a barstool or whatever. You will fall over if you only got two of them. Just let that sink in. You've got to do all three for that stability.” – Adam Adams
“The thing that I do intentionally every time is I forget about myself and I only think about the person on the other side. Something almost miraculous happens when you make that shift and you focus on the service instead of yourself. You don't care that you stutter anymore. You don't care if you're slouching or standing up and looking awkward or whatever it is. You just start to feel more natural, and your words, your thoughts, and your efforts are on serving that person.” – Adam Adams
“That which you persist in doing will become easier to do. You just got to keep focusing, and it will eventually give you endless potential. So just keep doing it.” – Adam Adams
“There's a lot of people that are afraid to even have a social media or they just don't want to put themselves out there or they don't want people to see them or find them. But what I've noticed, when you want to have real influence – and we're calling these the three pillars of influence, three-legged stool, you need all three – if that's what you're looking for, you have to realize and understand that most people, when they're going to vet you, they're going to Google you. They're going to look for your Facebook. They're going to look for your LinkedIn. They're going to look for you online. They're going to see what types of pictures you post. As they get to know who you are, as they get to see that stuff, see you with your sweetheart, see you're doing your hobbies, they get to know you and it allows them to trust you more because they find your social.” – Adam Adams
“They're all the most important. They are all critical. You can't have the success that you dream of without having a little bit of all three of these.” – Adam Adams

Can you say the same thing with other real estate investment portfolios where value increases even during the pandemic despite catering to the bottom-level financially capacitated market besides being recession-proof?
I am referring to Section 8 investing.
Let's dive into this topic and find out what more exciting things to look forward to in this market.
Rhett Wiseman is known as the Section 8 guy and has written an e-book called the Ultimate 101 Guide to Section 8 Real Estate.
In this episode, Rhett shares how he has been involved in Section Eight investing for almost a decade and finds it lucrative even amid the pandemic and economic recessions. He has never seen it that way with other investment portfolios that he owns.

What you will learn from this episode for 26 minutes:
Learn how the government's Section 8 program protects landlords and learn to dispel myths about this market.
Discover ways how tenants and landlords share a symbiotic relationship in this setup.
Find out how you can be profitable running a Section Eight property even when dealing with a less financially capacitated market.
Resources:

Topics Covered:
00:57 - What is Section 8 Investing, and who are the clients for this investment?
02:43 - Busting myths about the Section 8 program
04:41 - How do you earn when you're dealing with not financially capacitated markets
07:446 - Criteria for selecting properties and locations for Section 8 housing

Key Takeaways:
"When investing in Section Eight, finding the right market and zip code is crucial. And make sure those two things can work to be profitable." - Rhett Wiseman
"Being able to provide a nice home for people who have less than I do, and who might be coming out of an awful situation, creating a really nice living environment for somebody gives people a chance to get out of that situation. That I took much pride in." - Rhett Wiseman
"The government has shown that they print more money when things go bad, so you don't have to worry about them running out of money, so you get cash flowing monthly." - Rhett Wiseman
"Section Eight investing is one of the only things that is recession-proof. I've had a Section A portfolio through two government shutdowns, a mini-recession at the beginning of COVID, March 2020, and a global pandemic. And the only thing that's happened throughout all of those dire circumstances is that my portfolio has gone up in value. And I can't say that about any other kind of asset or equity, or investment I've made." - Rhett Wiseman
"Very recently, we're seeing incredible, incredible rent increases by HUD to make sure that Section Eight can keep up with incentivizing landlords to maintain a relationship with the program." - Rhett Wiseman

"I'm finding that the more I get into real estate and personal development, the more I'm moving people away that aren't aligned to that outside of my life. But I still make an effort to reach out.

Whether that produces a conversation or not, at least it leaves the door open for them to reach back out to me if they ever want to talk about real estate, mindset, or whatever it is." - Brandon Rabe

"To scale, in my opinion, the holy grail is to have a list of your own investors you have cultivated." - Shawn Winslow
"I've been really successful in networking. But even with that, it still takes a long time to cultivate that because you're not just going to meet someone one time, and they're going to invest with you. You want to develop a relationship with these people so that they know, like, and trust you but also so that you know, like, and trust them as well." - Shawn Winslow
"The best relationships I've made are the ones that take a little longer to establish." - Shawn Winslow
"A lot of people say, it's whom you know, but I actually think it's who knows you. And the only way for people to know you is to get out there." - Shawn Winslow

Do you want to learn how to structure a deal in a way that it won’t be a security?
Most people who are into real estate investing are already familiar with syndication and crowdfunding, but there are still those who confuse deals structured as a joint venture with those as a security.

Gene Trowbridge has 20 years of experience in real estate syndication and 25 years as a syndication (SEC) lawyer. He is one of the founding partners of the Trowbridge Law Group LLC, where his law practice focuses on the syndication of commercial and investment real estate, through both debt and equity.
In this episode, Gene enlightens us on the legal side of syndication and crowdfunding as he talks about the SEC in line with deals structured in security.

Key Takeaways:
"There is no difference. A syndication could be a joint venture. It could be a limited partnership [with] two or more people; it could be an LLC – whatever entity you want to combine these people together legally.” – Gene Trowbridge
“If you’re in the deal together, the only way you can do it and not make it a security with two people is you put together an LLC and the two members go forward, making equal and unanimous decisions. That’s the only way you can do it. If you make it a limited partnership, you’re in trouble, because in a limited partnership, there is a general partner, and a general partner, by definition, makes it a security. So it has to be a member-managed LLC.” – Gene Trowbridge

As with most of us, when adversity hits us, we get shaken by it. And we lost focus to the point that all we see are problems preventing us from taking a pause and making the next steps to find solutions.
Instead of asking the usual questions and blaming anyone for what happened, why not ask better questions and, most importantly, make a mindset shift.

Key Takeaways:
"There are times when we can ask ourselves better questions to get more realistic answers so that we can plan and prepare." - Elizabeth Kelly
"When we're negative and down in the dumps, and we're catastrophizing, asking ourselves, is this reality? No, it's not reality, it is probably higher, but we don't want to be so. We don't want to be so optimistic that we're no longer realistic anymore. So, there's a balance there. And that's part of the journey." - Elizabeth Kelly
"I want to always set people up for success. And I would rather say let's take 30 minutes a day and have people achieve that goal than telling people they need to spend two hours a day and having that not happen and it destroys self-confidence." - Elizabeth Kelly
"If we can shorten the time it takes to transition into optimum performance in each of those [activities], then we recapture a ton of really valuable time for ourselves." - Elizabeth Kelly

Flipping is not the path to it when you want time, freedom, and wealth in your real estate business.
But, how do you flip without building another job for yourself and instead create passive income?
Chris Bounds is a real estate investor and Top 0.5% growth leader at eXp Realty with over $65 million in transactions. With his wife Jamie, Chris has used more than $19 million from private lenders and equity partners to flip over 200 properties. Together they have $44 million in assets under management, including close to 400 single-family and multifamily units.
In this episode, Chris advises not to do flipping the traditional way but instead recommends a more clever move to do it without all the headaches while still maximizing your profits.

What you'll learn in just 16 minutes from today's episode:
Find out how you do flipping without burdening yourself and risk losing your deals
Learn how to become an investing agent, not just an agent, and make tons of money
Find out what other investment strategies to dabble into and get lots of income streams
Resources:
Website: https://www.investedagents.com/community/
Topics Covered:
01:13 - Why Chris decided not to do flipping anymore after having done 200 plus flips
04:21 - Lessons from flipping that he carried over to buying and holding properties for profit
06:31 - What it looks like transitioning from flipping single-family houses to multifamily
08:36 - Teaching agents how to become investing agents
10:21 - Why most agents don't invest
11:45 - How you can engage with Chris
Key Takeaways:
"Flipping is just another job. These rentals that we held, and when we finally would dispose of them to sell them after a three or five-year window, we made so much more money. And the flips were much more of a headache, a lot of timelines, and then when something went wrong, your margins took a hit. You may even lose money on a deal or two." - Chris Bounds
"It's a monster [Flipping] you must constantly feed to keep the machine running. I'm not against flipping. But at the end of the day, you understand it's a job, and you're not building wealth and passive income flipping." - Chris Bounds
"This is why I tell folks, if you need the money, like flipping, there's nothing wrong with it. But at the end of the day, especially in a low inventory environment, if you have the skill set to find good deals and get them at the prices that make sense, hold as many of them as you can because otherwise, you build a job for yourself." - Chris Bounds
