Learn more about how you can invest in Memphis on the next investment tour. --- I want to talk about Memphis and our next upcoming Memphis Investment Tour. For many of you, you know that we did a property/investment tour. I believe it was around the September, October timeframe. If you go back to an earlier episode, you will know that we talked about the Memphis Market and why invest in Memphis and why it's such a great cashflow market. We can actually look back and talk about what we did on this two-day Memphis Investment and Property Tour because it was quite amazing. There was a lot of great content and education. We had some great speakers from all over the country and it was all packed into one and a half days. It's happening again. We're having another event in May and it's an opportune time because they happen to have this world-famous barbecue festival or event that goes on. The timing is purposely done to coincide with that event. I brought James back on the show here. For those of you that don't remember, James leads the team that we work with in Memphis. They are a great company and a great provider in terms of putting out fantastic income producing rental properties. In 2017, James and his team purchased, renovated and sold over 235 single-family homes in Memphis, Tennessee. The average prices of those properties were a $101,000. We're not talking super expensive properties. They're affordable. They cashflow well. They rent for a very high dollar amount making the cash-on-cash returns very attractive. These are great income-producing properties. James and his team in conjunction with our team here work with investors around the world to help you guys create passive income. As one of our top turnkey providers and partners in the Memphis market, they've now ventured out into building some new construction homes. They've built 23, 24 and they are ramping that up. That's going to be a new thing that we're introducing to you as well as on this Investment Tour. I don't want to take all of James’ thunder. With that I want to welcome, James.

Having a plan of action is one thing, but sticking to that plan is another. Most investors lose motivation when they see a task that is too big for them to do. But Anton Ivanov had a clear vision of his goals. When his tasks where bigger than he can handle, he broke it down to smaller pieces. Anton inherited a condo and became an accidental landlord but then saw that turnkey investments is great for starting investors who want to go out of state. Now he owns 35 rental units across four states that generates passive cash flow. Anton shares his stories of beginnings and how he got his confidence in the real estate investment world. --- I have an interesting episode because I have a special guest, but he’s more than a guest. He’s actually a past client. This guy has really impressed me. The reason is because he set out to acquire real estate and build a portfolio. He set some goals and he made a plan. Not only did he execute on his plan but he stuck to it. He stuck to it in a way that he actually surprised me. I got an email with the subject line, “Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks.” I was a little taken aback. At first I thought, “It’s a spam email,” and I was about to delete it but then I recognized his name. I opened it up and he basically said, “I want to reach out to you just to say thank you for all your help, guidance and advice you’ve given me in the few years back. It’s been absolutely invaluable.” That’s literally “right from his email.” One thing led to another and I wanted to get him on the show here to share his experience and a little bit about him and how he got started and why he chose the path he chose and how he built his portfolio. Everybody’s got advice and some wisdom and knowledge and I figured it would be invaluable for a lot of people to learn from him. His name is Anton Ivanov. He is a real estate investor and an entrepreneur. He has built a 35-unit rental portfolio that’s spread out across four states. He lives in California, so these are not in California. He’s also the founder of an incredible app called DealCheck. It is dubbed the leading real estate analysis software and it is used by over 28,000 investors and agents to quickly analyze and compare investment properties. I actually was part of that beta test when he was developing it and it is excellent. I really enjoy using it and it’s outstanding. If you live off of an iPhone or a smart device, I really suggest putting that on your device because it’s useful. With that, I want to welcome Anton to the show.

Cash flow can be generated in real estate with no tax, making it the best kind of investment. By looking at the potential of the property in ten years, improvements can be made to increase cash flow, cap rate, income and rate of return for investors. Ken McElroy, author of The ABCs Of Real Estate Investment, has always had a soft spot for home ownership. When people build homes, this equates to mortgage interest because the owners build equity on that home. Ken McElroy shares tips on getting your financial settings in real estate on track and staying on that course by simply starting small and in a neighborhood that you know. --- This is Part 2 of my interview with Ken McElroy, Rich Dad Advisor. He’s a great guy, smart, full of wisdom, extremely successful. If you haven’t listened to the first episode with me and Ken, just listen to that episode. It’s number 95. We’re going to continue with Part 2 of my interview with Ken McElroy.

Americans can now retain both low income housing tax credit and private activity bonds with the new tax reform in act. This is a need that the government recognized so they created this tax break. Author of The ABCs Of Real Estate Investment, Ken McElroy deals with rental business but is a big fan of home ownership. While he understands why most investors look for good deals with low down payment, he does the complete opposite by finding rental demands in affluent areas because it will lead to less property management problems. Learn more on how you can start getting on track with you financial setting and how to stay on the course. This episode is very exciting because I have a very special guest. A lot of you may know him. If you don’t, you’re going to get to know him. Ken McElroy is an extremely successful individual and one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors. We had a great interview, chock-full of nuggets and wisdom. I just want to take a moment to thank everybody for the success the show has had over the last two and a half years. We have over 500 five-star reviews on iTunes US. Every country has its own iTunes store, so it has its own review and rating system. This is just the US. In speaking of other countries, we are also heard in over 125 countries. Thank you to everybody from as far as Israel, Australia, the UK, Portugal, France, you name it. It’s because of you that the show is a success. The reason I do it is to help share information, wisdom and knowledge with you. Once again, I just want to say that we had an incredible 2017. It was our busiest year ever. We’re on track to make 2018 the same. We love helping real estate investors, people who are real estate investors or want to be real estate investors. If you’re one of those people that have been listening for a while, sitting on the fence, you’ve got some investable capital and you know you need to make a decision on your financial future, let us help you take it to the next level or let us help you get started. That’s what we’re here to do. Just schedule a free strategy session with one of our investment counselors. Have that initial 30 or 60-minute conversation to figure out where you are today, where you want to go, what is the plan and the path to get you there. We can take that roadmap and help you take it one step at a time to achieve those financial goals. It really just comes down to having a plan, executing that plan, and having a criteria that’s attached to it. It’s not that hard to do and we want to help you do it. In fact, I’m probably going to record a podcast episode about that topic. I will try to do that here in the very near future. Last but not least, I’ve been very busy looking at underwriting some syndication deals as well. I’ve looked at a number of them last year. Unfortunately, they just didn’t meet my criteria and my underwriting basically just punted it out the door. One of them took over three months to underwrite. What we have on the table right now for people who are either accredited or are not accredited but have a smaller amount of investment capital, I’m looking to put together syndicated or group investments of ten-pack or twenty-pack single-family homes. That’s something that I have started working on. However, I’m probably not going to release or announce that for a month or two. Two opportunities I’m working on actively right now and that actually is open to accredited investors are cannabis-related investments. Believe it or not, real estate does play into some of those opportunities. You would have to just reach out to me directly for that information and I would need to connect with you via email and/or phone before I can send you that information.

I'm going to do something a little bit different today. Recently, I was invited to be a guest on The Real Estate CPA show, which is hosted by Brandon Hall. If you recall, Brandon was a guest of mine on episode 90. That episode was titled Sheltering Your Rental Income from Taxes (and Other Tax Tips). Brandon is a sharp guy, a great investor, and CPA. He focuses on creative tax strategies but he’s really dialed into the whole tax scene and how to reduce your taxes as an investor. He invited me on his show and we had a great conversation about a lot of different things. Some of it is great review for investors and other questions that he had was great for virtually any investor listening in. I wanted to share that episode with you. I did get Brandon’s permission to re-air if you will that episode on my show. We talked about things like the biggest real estate investing myth, what drives different markets, and the market differences, how to choose a market. We talked about investing locally versus long distance, the macroeconomic factors in selecting a market and there are four of them. Those are good to know. The three kinds of markets at a spectrum, there are three categorizations for that. Different types of neighborhoods, what is an A, B, and C classification for a neighborhood. This is really what I tell people when I'm doing a live presentation. It’s some good material and a few other things. It’s a great interview and I wanted to share that with you. Without any further delay, I'm going to let that roll. Hopefully, you enjoy it and we will see you again next week.

Welcome back to another episode where we’re going to talk about the Houston, Texas market. One thing that we’ve been getting asked a little bit about recently is the effects of Hurricane Harvey. As you know, Hurricane Harvey ripped through the Caribbean and beat up some of the islands down there and hit the coast pretty hard. However, the good news is that there was no bad news. We haven’t heard from any one of our clients that had invested in the Houston market reporting any kind of flooding or damage. That’s a good thing. There’s really one key reason why that was, and we’re going to talk about that today with my guest, Bryan who’s going to be on here in a couple of minutes. Houston is an interesting city. We’ve been there for many, many years. We’ve had a lot of happy clients and success there because it’s such an incredibly diverse and progressive city. It’s the nation’s fourth largest city, growing fast. It’s known as the city of infinite possibilities. It’s quickly approaching six million residents, that’s more than 32 states and it just continues to grow. Strong jobs, strong population growth, a friendly business climate, lots of cheap land to build on, it’s just a great market. Coupled with all that, we have a lot of what we refer to as STEM jobs, STEM meaning science, technology, engineering and math. When you have jobs in the STEM field, what you have are high paying jobs. Roughly 6% of employment in Houston is held by STEM job holders. That adds to equality rental pool, that just means more stable tenants. Houston is drawing businesses in from everywhere as well as new residents. These are not only people who are looking to buy and live there, but also people who are tenants. That’s good for you and I as landlords. That’s what we’re going to talk about today. I am going to bring Bryan on here. If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to Passive Income with Syndications – Mauricio Rauld.

Robert Kiyosaki once said, “Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and especially in investing.” On the show, we talk a lot about passive income and passive investments and how to create wealth through those vehicles especially real estate. What about partnerships or syndications? Today, I want to explore the world of investment partnerships, they're also known as syndications, and how you can potentially participate and profit from them as well. What is a syndication? In its simplest form, a syndication is just a pooling of investor money where the investor is typically a passive limited partner. The other partner to the deal is really a general partner or an active partner. That’s the person that puts the deal together. They manage the business plan. They provide the return and the benefits to all investors. You'll hear the general partner or GP often. They're also referred to as the syndicate or the sponsor. These terms are used interchangeably. At the end of the day, a syndication is nothing but a group investment. It’s a pooling of investment capital to put into an investment opportunity that is managed by a syndicator. We have an amazing guest on today’s show, someone who I'm getting know quite well. In fact I'm meeting for him for lunch here in a couple of weeks. We had a great opportunity to get to know each other recently. His name is Mauricio Rauld.

I just got back from Memphis, Tennessee where I had a great three days there. We had a two-day event. The first day was all about education, getting to know new things about things related to real estate and real estate investing and taxes and whatnot. Then we had a great networking event that evening where I got the opportunity to meet a lot of investors from all around. In fact, we had one person there from Australia, we had a couple there from Hawaii, and it was fun. These people are there to learn and they're people who listen to this podcast and it was just a lot of fun to meet people who listen to and from their drive to work. It's great to put faces and names to people who are out there listening and educating themselves, learning to better their financial future and create financial freedom for themselves. That first day was all about education, the evening was all networking. We got to sit around and have something to eat and have a few drinks and just overlook the Mississippi River. It was just a great time. The second day was all about a property tour. We got to go around the Memphis market, learn about various neighborhoods, get to see properties at different stages of the game; some being pre-renovation, some of them being in the middle of renovation, some of them having completed renovation. It was an exciting event. Then we had some more networking after that. It was great two and a half days of mingling and meeting other real estate investors. One of the things we got talking about there was taxes and taxation and whatnot. The question comes up, “Why do people hate paying taxes?” One reason is because they just simply don’t understand them. Albert Einstein said, "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." Aside from that, we just simply don’t like to pay any more than we have to. Some people feel that there is an obligation to pay, but at the same time I think you have an obligation to learn how to reduce, minimize or even eliminate the taxes that you pay when the opportunity is there. The thing is you may not know what opportunities exist because it's just a simple matter of honest ignorance. I always say that ignorance is expensive, but knowledge leads to increased wealth and the ability to lower your taxes. If you don't, you would think that your tax adviser would be well-educated on this stuff, but that's just simply not the case as you're going to learn today with my guest Bruce Jones. I had a great interview with Bruce. Something that he's going to share a few things actually are things that I've looked at in the past but never quite completely grasped because it's just what most financial planners and advisers don't really know or understand. This is a great episode and there’s some stuff that we're going to talk about today that might go over your head. Don't let that get you lost just because we're getting deep in the weeds. You could always go back and listen to this episode over again, or better yet, you can just contact Bruce and his team and learn more about it. It's just free education.

Before we get on our show here, I want to remind you about our upcoming Memphis Investment and Property Tour that will be on October 6th and October 7th. It’s a Friday, Saturday. This is a great event. If you can make it, get in touch with our investment counselors here. We are offering free tickets, the tickets are normally $450, and we would love to see you and maybe your spouse down there or your business partner. What we are doing is hosting a unique event in Memphis, Tennessee. It will be a weekend of property tours, speakers and networking mixed with a little Memphis culture. Not only will you see great investment properties but the first full day is where we’re bringing together speakers from all over to address various aspects of today’s real estate investing. That’s going to be a breadth of information and topics. We would love to have you down there and see what we have going on in that great market. Again, this is October 6th and 7th. You can come in as early as Thursday, October 5th. I'm not sure if we have an event on Thursday but we definitely have an event going on on Friday evening. It’s a dinner and a networking mixer. Saturday is open-ended on Saturday evening so we can do whatever we want to do unless you want to fly out that night, but I think a lot of people are going to fly out on Sunday. Contact our office or send us an email through our website at NoradaRealEstate.com and we’ll tell you more about it. Today’s episode is about sheltering your rental income from taxes and maybe some other tax tips. When it comes to taxes, I pay my taxes, it’s not my favorite thing to do, but it’s something we just all have to come to grips with. Paying taxes just seems to be part of the American life now and ever since the Income Tax Act of 1913, there’s really no way around it. There’s a lot of code in the tax code. Unfortunately, you have to pay your taxes for any types of income you make. Fortunately, the US Tax Code has many, many rules that allow rental property owners to reduce their taxes and save money. If you own property, it’s a huge part of your tax strategy because it is the most tax-favored investment that you can get your hands on, that you can put your investment capital into, and the IRS rewards this type of behavior. If you don’t have property, you really should have some because the tax benefits are fantastic. I'm not a tax professional or a CPA but I do know many people who are tax advisors and specialists in that area and the fact that they are in the niche, that they deal with real estate investors, that really helps in helping educate you through this podcast, through articles as well as clients because we can put you in touch with them to minimize your tax impact or defer that taxable impact or in some cases, even eliminate completely and forever the tax impact of your income. Our show today is about sheltering and reducing your rental income from taxes. I have a great guest on who is a very, very sharp individual, so just stay tuned.

I want to just say thanks for your patience. I've been away for about eight weeks. I haven’t done an episode in almost two months. The reason for that is because I've been traveling extensively here for actually the whole year but mostly throughout the summer. I spent about two and a half weeks traveling through Italy and up to Paris. That was a family vacation. The rest has been all business related. I've been traveling everywhere from Kansas City to Dallas to China. I actually just got back from Shanghai, which was just an amazing trip. I might talk a little bit more about that in my next episode because it’s quite fascinating what is going on in terms of investment capital and foreign investment in the US. Aside from that, I plan to get back on a weekly recording schedule here as best as I can. I still have a lot of travel coming up here over the course of this month and the rest of the year. I'll do my best to continue to deliver content and bring on some great guests. In the meantime, I want to announce something that we haven’t done for a long, long time and we rarely do, and that is a combination of an educational seminar/property tour where you can actually just kick the dirt and walk around and see various properties in a market at different stages of development; from acquisition to demolition to renovation through to completion, so you can see everything that gets done, who’s doing it and how it gets done. That’s combined with some amazing speakers, everything from finance to 1031s and whatnot. That’s all packed in about a day and a half. It won't be a long drawn out four-day event. It will be short, sweet, you come in on one day, you have a day and a half of networking and education and property visiting. Then you could leave in the second half of that day or the following day. That’s what this episode is about. It’s investing in Memphis, Tennessee and some information about our upcoming property tour. I have a great guest. He’s one of our team members out in the local market. He knows the market very well. Memphis has been a great market for us. It always has been. It’s a perennial market. It’s very strong. The real estate market there in Memphis continues to grow. It has been what I call a perennial cashflow market. You don’t see wild fluctuations and appreciation. They're strong, steady, stable rates of return in cashflow. If that’s what you're looking for, it’s a perfect market because it’s got everything you could possibly want aside from hypergrowth in terms of price appreciation. We don’t have an inflated market but we do have what a lot of investors want, and that is solid, steady, consistent income and rates of return. We're going to dive into that and bring on James, our partner here. Stay tuned.

Vladimir Lenin once said the way to crush the bourgeois, which is the middle class, is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation. The economic and financial world operates on multiple levels. Most of which are not fully understood by the general public. The results are that the odds are stacked against us as real estate investors or individual investors as a whole in a more comprehensive and complicated way than most people are aware. This is very important to understand. The good news is that, when you're armed with this knowledge, you gain the ability to not only protect yourself but to also find new sources of wealth in unexpected places. The real return associated with these sometimes counterintuitive sources of wealth can be substantial because they work with the underlying flow of wealth rather than against it. If you don’t understand this stay tune because our guest today is going to dive into this with me. It’s something that will be an eye-opener for you and possibly even a paradigm shift. I strongly believe that understanding three forces of asset deflation, monetary inflation and inflation taxes will be the single-most important thing you can do to protect and improve your standard of living over the long-term. I believe these forces will be the primary determinants of real financial success for investors in the decades ahead and that those who fail to understand these forces will be a great risk in the future. Join me on this amazing interview with one of the smartest guys I know on the subject. It’s an episode you'll want to listen more than once, so don’t go away.

We have a very special show today and an incredible guest, someone who I've been looking to get on the show for a while now. I've had the opportunity to sit down and meet with him about three months ago at one of my Mastermind meetings. We got talking about his new book and habits and whatnot. I asked him to come on the show. It took me a while to get him on the show because he's always traveling and he's got a busy schedule. We're going to talk about his new book and habits and some amazing content here today. One thing about habits I want to say is that habits are the basis of your success and they could also be the basis of your downfall. Despite the importance of habits, few people know much about them or even how they work. Habits are thought about negatively, usually they relate to gambling habits or drug habits, but there are a lot of good habits and things that we should incorporate into our lives such as exercising regularly or how we think or meditate or what we do and what we eat and how we treat our friends and our family. A habit can be something that we do regularly without even consciously thinking about it. To be aware of our habits and how powerful they are and what subtle changes we can do to affect the trajectory and the path of where we're going is just an amazing thing. I have an amazing guest today. Please stay tuned, right to the very end, he's got a great little offer for you.

Real estate property management is an essential component of maintaining a property and its value in the market, not to mention attracting good tenants. Owners and landlords who are busy, own several properties or who own out-of-state investments will certainly benefit from hiring a professional property management company. Finding a reliable management company that can efficiently handle the running and maintenance of your property is absolutely essential, not only for peace of mind but also to ensure the maximum market value of the property. A property management company takes care of all the details so you can focus on growing your investments, which is exactly what we want you to do. Having a good property management company on your side goes a long way to ensuring easy, profitable, and stress-free investing. It can bring you hassle-free rentals and maintenance while optimizing your cashflow and your return on investment. It's important that the manager, the company, and the overall business ethics inspire confidence and trust in you so you're completely comfortable in assigning the property over to them. I often refer to property managers as asset managers because if you stop and think about it, it's not just the property that they're managing, it's really your assets. My guest and I will talk about some of the things that you should look for when you're interviewing or hiring your property manager.

We have a special show today because we're going to do another market spotlight. Today, we're going to talk about why you should invest in Alabama. There are more specifically three markets that we focus in Alabama. I wanted to bring on one of my local market providers there. He is a great guy, very knowledgeable. His name is Jared. Him and I were down at the IMN event in Florida a couple of months ago. He was on one of the panels, as was I, separate panels. I really enjoyed listening to him talk because he is such a knowledgeable person. He's very detailed, analytical; he really digs into the markets and market timing and trends and the economics and fundamentals. He understands why a market makes sense from many levels. I could literally listen to him all day long. I thought, “We work together and we have a property in Huntsville, Montgomery and Birmingham in Alabama. Why don't we just do a podcast episode and talk about these markets, why they make sense? Then you can take it from there.” If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to Home Inspections: What You Need to Know.
