E374 - The Uncertain Future of SDIRAs 01/19/2022

E374 - The Uncertain Future of SDIRAs The world of self-directed retirement is in jeopardy. Recent headlines about “MEGA ROTHS” have created a buzz in the media, and that buzz has resulted in an increase in regulatory hurdles for everyday people who have self-directed their retirement accounts. Though the recent proposals to essentially ban the investment of private placements via SDIRA’s have been rejected, there are still several changes in the works that investors need to be knowledgeable about. In fact, it’s critical to understand how these discussions are evolving, as many of the regulations may take place as early as 2022. Today, we are joined by John Hyre, an experienced tax attorney who specializes in the taxation of real estate and SDIRA’s/401k’s. He is exceptionally knowledgeable on the matter and painstakingly reviews recent court cases to stay on the cutting edge of these regulations. In this episode, we discuss… What is the future of “backdoor” contributions that circumvent income limits on SDIRAs? What are some examples of enforcement of these self-dealing rules, and what can YOU learn from them? Why our guest is a huge proponent of the Solo K structure, and how you can contribute over $50,000 if you meet certain criteria This is a VERY important episode for any passive investor who has self-directed their account, or an owner operator that wants to raise future funds from SDIRA investors.

E368 - How He Created a Tool for Passive Investors While Being a Doctor 12/29/2021

E368 - How He Created a Tool for Passive Investors While Being a Doctor One of the many benefits of the online education revolution that is taking place right now, is that someone can go into the space of real estate investing with very little background, and become a confident passive investor, with just a few months of dedication. This simply wasn’t possible just a few short years ago. As the interest in passive investing continues to grow, more and more service providers are popping up to help facilitate these passive investors’ growth curve and enhance their knowledge and expertise, as they work to review new investment opportunities. This interview is just one of many examples of this. Today, we are joined by Dr. Samuel Giordano, who is a full-time physician and founder of Passive Advantage, a software designed for passive investors. How our guest went from struggling to find access to quality education on the topic of passive investing, to being a very confident investor in just a few years (and some of the resources he used along the way!) Why our guest feels a bit bearish on a few sectors of the real estate sector, and what asset classes he is most bullish on from a passive investors’ standpoint How our guest turned a simple Excel document into a robust software which helps passive investors vet opportunities Interested in being able to vet deals more quickly? Check out this interview to learn how he does it, and what tools he uses to help him along the way. Take Control, Hunter Thompson Resources mentioned in the podcast: 1.

E366 - How to 10x Your Deal Flow Through the Fund of Funds Model 12/22/2021

E366 - How to 10x Your Deal Flow Through the Fund of Funds Model As the real estate market evolves, more and more operators and investors are looking for new strategies to diversify their portfolios. One of the best ways I’ve found to leverage the track record, relationships, geographic location, and deal flow of someone else’s firm is through the concept of the “fund of funds” model - sometimes referred to as the “SPV” (Special Purpose Vehicle) model. We are joined by Ariel Diaz, fellow RaiseMaster and founder of Trajan Real Estate. Ariel is here to discuss a recent paradigm shift he had on this topic, which allowed him to significantly increase his deal flow by utilizing this structure. Today, we are going to discuss… Why our guest felt like he was “stuck” in a low cap rate market, and how the fund of funds model helped solve that problem How he was able to leverage his fund of fund’s investment amount to get favorable terms for his entity How to overcome challenges around your investors potentially circumventing you as a fund of funds manager How the fund of funds structure allows you to get your foot in the door with just about any operator (regardless of how experienced they are) This episode is extremely relevant for both savvy passive investors, as well as well-established operators. The power of this vehicle is only just beginning to be understood in the market today. You’ll see why during this interview! Take Control, Hunter Thompson Resources mentioned in this podcast: 1.

If so, you’re in luck… Today, we are joined by Richard Wilson, the founder of FamilyOffices.com, a private investor club that caters to investors with a significant net worth. For context, Richard recently closed a deal in which the investor agreed to invest $300MM of equity. If you’re interested in getting a deep look into how the 9-figure crew is planning on participating in the investment space in the upcoming year, this is an excellent episode for you. In this episode, we discuss… What is the deal with the tokenization of real estate and how will this impact the world of commercial real estate? We also discuss Richard’s strategy for networking and discuss some of the ways he has been able to rub shoulders with CEO’s of publicly traded companies, billionaires, and well-known investors Should you “stay in your lane”, or, can you dominate multiple sectors? In the interview, Richard also discusses his upcoming event The Family Office Super Summit, which is taking place in Ft. Lauderdale on Monday, December 13th. Several centimillionaires and at least one billionaire will be speaking at the event, so I’m sure the networking opportunities will be quite unique.

E358 - Unleashed: How Crowdfunding Changed CRE Forever 11/24/2021

E358 - Unleashed: How Crowdfunding Changed CRE Forever As surprising as it might seem… The world of real estate crowdfunding wasn’t truly invented until 2012/2013. Sure… “Pooled investments” (syndications) have been around in the US for quite some time, but the ability to combine the online space with the ability to raise capital wasn’t fully “unleashed” until the JOBS Act was ratified. This Act certainly had a significant impact on the world of commercial real estate, but what are the implications of these changes, and how can we benefit from them? What does this impact look like as this sector matures, and more and more people start participating in this incredible investment vehicle? Will the recent popularization of 506(c), Reg A+ and Reg CF create a new stage in the story of crowdfunding real estate? Today, we are joined by Adam Gower who is the author of Real Estate Crowdfunding: Unleashed. After conducting an incredible amount of research on the matter, Adam is here to provide some important updates that I am sure many listeners will be eager to learn, and incorporate into their thinking. In this episode, we are going to discuss… How are institutions reacting to the influx of accredited investors, and how is this reality shifting the investment space as a whole? In which geographic locations are accredited investors most eager to invest, and does the data suggest that they should be investing there? Are investors getting more accustomed to 506(c) offerings, or will 506(b)s continue to dominate the market? From my perspective, those who are well-positioned in this space stand to create massive profits over the next few years, as the sector explodes with interest. I intend on being one of those benefactors. Do you? If so, tune in to hear what the data suggests about the future of crowdfunding. Resources mentioned in this podcast: 1. 2. 3. 4.

E356 - How Can You Tell If A Sponsor Is Misleading You 11/17/2021

E356 - How Can You Tell If A Sponsor Is Misleading You Like many of you, I’m extremely bullish on the world of private real estate deals. As people continue to have success investing in the space, it will continue to grow and grow. If this continues, it might be highly favorable for us as early investors. (Yes, we are still VERY early!) If this happens as I think it might, it’ll likely mean more buyers and sellers in the space (more liquidity), lower exit cap rates, and generally, a more precise marketplace. Of course, it might get a little competitive as well! However, one thing that can slow that growth is for passive investors to have poor investment experiences. Sure… Some deals simply have challenges. That’s the nature of investing in real property which is occupied by real tenants. But some of the challenges in the space are related to the operators themselves. So, how can we limit the likelihood of investing in deals with poor operators? Today, we are joined by Byran Ellis, who is an experienced real estate operator and who has raised tens of millions of dollars of private equity from investors. Over his decades in the industry, he has developed systems and processes to conduct accurate and efficient due diligence for passive investors. In this episode, we are going to discuss… Several tips and tricks for how passive investors can “trust but verify” without breaking the bank A wild horror story that could have easily been avoided! How real estate sponsors can create a principle-based business, so that you are never concerned that you are going to be “found out” by your investors If you are a passive investor who’s looking to increase your level of sophistication, this is an excellent opportunity to learn from one of the best!

E354 - How Did We Get Here: The History of Taxation 11/10/2021

E354 - How Did We Get Here: The History of Taxation In recent days, people in power have discussed proposals as ludicrous as taxing unrealized gains, banning the investments in private placements with tax-advantaged accounts, and implementing a federal 43.4% capital gains tax. From my perspective, it always feels like these seemingly outlandish proposals are meant to get a pulse on how close the citizenry is to tolerating the new level of taxation and set the stage for what might be soon to come. Given the way this conversation is going in the media, I’ve found myself asking a question that I’m sure many of you have been asking as well… How on earth did we get here, and why is this happening? Today, we are joined by Domic Fisby, the author of several books, including Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future. The book reveals many truths about taxation, as well as the implications of the actions central banks have taken in recent years. In this episode, we are going to discuss… What the history of central banks and taxation tells us about war, and why it’s impossible to stop (despite being so unpopular) Why the pronounced boom/bust cycles that we are taught are a result of “natural” capitalism, might in fact be directly related to central banks who control both the money supply, as well as the interest rates applies to that money How the digital world has impacted taxation and created an opportunity for corporations to implement tax structures that the middle class can’t Like all significant historical events, both the Great Recession and Covid-19 have created wild and uncertain times. These uncertain times create an opportunity for regulations, money printing, and taxation to be installed that will likely impact our world and economy for years to come. Tune in to see how we got here and what it might mean for our future. Resources mentioned in the podcast: 1. Dominic Frisby's socials: 1. 2. Interested in investing in ATMs?
