Earlier this week I posted an article about my goals for 2016 and how 2015 went. On this episode of the Invest Four More Podcast I go into more depth on my goals and what I want to achieve in 2016 and why. I also talk a lot about 2015 and what I learned from the last year. People see my success on the blog with my rentals, flips, real estate team and cars, but it doesn't always go perfect! I had a lot of setbacks in 2015 and I am making a lot of changes going into 2016. The good news is that I had a lot of success in 2015 as well. If things always went the way we planned them, life would not be nearly as interesting and the wins would not be nearly as sweet.
On this episode of the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast I am going to talk about my history as an agent, investor and some challenging situations I have had to overcome. I became an agent right after college in 2001 and although it was nice working with my father, it also presented some challenges and may have stunted my growth in some areas. As an agent, a fix and flipper and a rental property owner I have run into some unique situations and some very frustrating situations as well. Some of those were my fault and some completely out of my control. On this episode I discuss some of the more memorable mistakes and situations I have been in like buying a meth houses that then burned down, having flips involved in lawsuits for over a year, hiring mistakes and trying to complete the rehab on a flip myself.
On this episode of the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast I talk to Marco Santarelli who owns Norada Real Estate Investment. Marco has invested in rental properties for many years and started when he was 18! Marco has invested in many states across the United States and explains what he looks for in markets, how he got started investing and why he started a company to help other investors invest in rental properties from a long distance.
On this episode of the Invest Four More Podcast I interview Anil Walia. Anil is originally from India, where he invested in real estate, then moved to Canada where he invested in real estate and finally started investing in real estate in the US while living in Canada. I have many people from Canada ask me how to invest in US real estate because prices are so high in Canada. Anil discusses how he has bought over 30 properties in Florida with financing while not being a US citizen.
I love to interview successful real estate investors on the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast. Joe Fairless is another very successful investors who built his wealth through large apartment buildings and has done it very quickly. Joe was in the advertising business in New York City when he decided real estate investing was the career path he wanted to take. Joe lived very frugally to save money in order to invest in real estate and it paid off big time. Joe invested in single family homes, but made his biggest profits on large multifamily apartment complexes. Joe and I talk all about how he got started and what his plans are for the future.
