Travel the World Making $20k/mo Passively – JR Piper Shares What He Does with his 7 Figure Business

With Jared “JR” Piper, Fair Cash Offer 

February 10, 2021

About JR Piper

JR Piper fell into real estate because some real estate investor friends of his needed someone whom they trusted to manage some of their properties. And he loved it.

Spending his time studying for his real estate license, JR worked his job by night, managed properties by day, and learned a ton. A few years later he began buying rental properties, using wholesaling and fix and flips to create cash to buy his rentals.

Now JR has rental properties that passively produce $20,000 a month. He travels the world, returns to Phoenix to work his business, then takes off to another international destination.

Show Notes

JR explains to Steve how his business produces passive income so he can travel the world. He also explains how he uses wholesaling and fix and flips to fund his rental property acquisitions for his portfolio. 

Top 5 Takeaways from JR:

5.  Rental properties provide passive income that can allow you to do other things.

4. Use wholesaling and fix and flip strategies to fund buying good rental properties.

3. Good rental properties, if held at the right loan-to-value ratio, can be a great hedge against any downturn in the market. 

2. Direct mail is still one of the most highly effective marketing methods that produce high quality leads.  

1. Don’t spend all your time working your business. Once you’re making money, enjoy it!

Bonus Takeaway:  You can run your business from anywhere in the world if you set it up properly. You can even take time off, let your business sit, and start it back up when you return.

Alex Moses & Brian Higgins on How They Did 350+ BRRRRs, Own 160+ Rentals, and Earned $1MM Tax Free.

With Alex Moses and Brian Higgins, BLH Properties LLC

January 27, 2021

About Alex Moses and Brian Higgins

Alex Moses tried college and found it wasn’t for him. Which turned out to be a good thing, because otherwise he never would have met Brian.

Brian Higgins was an insurance agent who didn’t like where his career path was headed. So he sold his insurance agency and decided to become a real estate investor, even though he didn’t know much about it at the time.

Alex and Brian met while taking a crash course to get their realtor’s license. After Alex sold several of his uncle’s properties to Brian, they started working with out of state investors and eventually teamed up to buy over 160 BRRRR properties in just a few years. Along the way they managed to make $1 million dollars tax-free, and plan to keep the same formula moving forward but with more organization and gusto.

Connect with Alex by email at [email protected], on Instagram at @alexmoses_realestate or Facebook at Moses15. Connect with Brian by email at [email protected] or on Facebook at brian.higgins.904. 

Show Notes

Alex and Brian discuss how they use the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build their portfolio as well as securing properties for their out-of-state investors. They also cover how they raised and paid back over $12 million in private investor money, and give you tips for working with banks for financing. 

Top 5 Takeaways from Alex and Brian:

5.  The BRRRR strategy is a great way to attract investors as well as build your own real estate portfolio for generational wealth.

4. Don’t be afraid to shop banks for the best financing arrangements. Banks vary quite a bit in their products, and you can always ask for more or exceptions to their normal terms.

3. If a deal is a good deal for an investor, it’s a good deal for you. Close on every good deal you find. 

2. You might be surprised how many people are looking to invest in real estate. But you’ll never know until you ask them. Set up some Zoom seminars and talk to people.  

1. Always, always keep your word. Scramble to find a way to close a deal if you have to, even if that means borrowing money to make it happen. Building that stellar reputation will benefit you immensely down the road.

Bonus Takeaway:  If you’re up front and communicate with your investors, you can get lots of private money as long as you pay them well. Don’t be greedy; if you take care of your investors, they will enable you to make a lot of money.

Michael Fitzgerald Shares How He Went From Bandit Signs to 100s of Doors and Running a Fund

With Michael Fitzgerald, Gideon Properties

January 6, 2021

About Michael Fitzgerald

Michael Fitzgerald planned on importing products from China and selling them in the United States. After his first deal, and a chance meeting, he switched to real estate and has since built a multi-faceted empire.

Michael had no money to invest in real estate, so he had to be creative. His first several deals were all different types:  Subject To, wholesale, even developing farmland with $0 down. Along the way, he has become friends with people all around the world. Currently Michael is involved in city-state partnerships where he actually gets the government to help finance his projects!

Michael’s story is as unique as it is inspirational. He proves that you don’t need money to build a real estate business. You just need to get going. Connect with Michael on Instagram or Facebook. 

Show Notes

Steve asks Michael how he got started in real estate, and they explore many concepts for how people can start. One of Michael’s emphasis is that you don’t need to know how to do everything, or have any money. Just start and learn along the way. 

Top 5 Takeaways from Michael:

5.  Review every potential deal. You don’t need to know how to do a deal to get started. Figure it out, learn what you need to learn, and keep moving forward.

4. Take care of the people you work with. Honesty and commitment, along with fulfilling your obligations even if you could get out of them, will benefit you in the long run.

3. Never stop marketing. Too many people market, get some business, then stop marketing while they work on those deals. Once those deals are done, they have nothing in the pipeline because they stopped marketing. 

2. If something bad happens, don’t let that stop you from doing more deals. New deals can pay for unexpected losses from a bad deal. If you stop, you have no way to cover the losses. So accept the problem, and do more deals to make up for it.  

1. Networking makes life easier and more enjoyable. Networking shouldn’t be forcing yourself on others — just start up conversations with people everywhere you go.

Bonus Takeaway:  Just start. You don’t need money, you don’t need to know everything, you just need to start and keep going until you get some deals. If you take consistent action, you will succeed even if you fall down a few times along the way. If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.

Dave Payerchin Shares How He & RJ Pepino Bring in 6 Figures per Month Through 100+ Rental Properties

With Dave Payerchin, Sell House Columbus

November 18, 2020

About Dave Payerchin

Dave Payerchin made his way to Phoenix, Arizona from Cleveland, Ohio right out of high school to work in the Valley’s booming construction industry. A chance encounter with a former classmate steered him to working for MCI Worldcom as a telemarketer. Since he wasn’t old enough to hit the bar scene and didn’t know anyone in Phoenix, Dave hung out at Borders bookstore reading sales books and eventually real estate investor books.

After showing up at work one morning to be told that MCI Worldcom had basically folded up overnight, Dave jumped into real estate with two feet. He knew nothing except what he had read in a few books, but thanks to a Phoenix real estate market that was on fire in 2005, Dave made and closed deals, but eventually went bankrupt when the market crashed and easy bank money dried up overnight. Once again, Dave was out of work.

Eventually Dave began working for RealEstateInvestor.com and met RJ Pepino at a conference. Fast forward a few years, and Dave and RJ team up on some deals in Columbus, Ohio. They worked primarily with BRRRR strategies (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build a portfolio of rental properties. Now Dave and RJ are big proponents of owning single family rental properties for income and wealth growth.

Show Notes
Dave and Steve discuss how Dave became a real estate investor, lessons he learned along the way, failures, restarting, and succeeding with a partner. They discuss multifamily vs. single family, why holding rental properties is a successful strategy in today’s market, and ways to get started for new investors.

Top 5 Takeaways from Dave:
5.  Don’t go it alone. The people in real estate networking groups aren’t your enemies; they’re your resources. Don’t be afraid to share and ask for help.

4. Partnerships are just like marriages. Sometimes one person moves or evolves faster than the other, but you have to be willing to work together and pull each other along as needed.

3. Single family rentals represent a massive opportunity right now because of the demand for single-family homes. Big Wall Street firms are investing in single family homes, developers are doing build to rent developments, and the public demand for homes is huge everywhere, especially due to Covid-19 concerns.

2. With interest rates at historic lows, now is the time to use bank financing to refinance your rentals. This can secure your investments for years or decades.

1. Be smart about leveraging your properties. A big problem with the 2008 real estate apocalypse was investors over-leveraging (more in loans than property value). Don’t over-leverage, and be smart with your financing. Then you will have great flexibility and multiple exit strategies you can employ as needed.

Bonus Takeaway: Act with grace to others. Do the right thing, work to be honorable, and look for the good in people (especially when screening renters). Often the best people on paper are not the best option for you.
