“You can make a living selling Real Estate, but you get wealthy owning Real Estate!”
I had lunch with a top real estate sales guy recently. We discussed the state of the market and sales volume being soooo low!
He said, “It’s a blessing I have picked up (20) 2 or 3 family properties over the last 15 years! They’re basically paid off at this point and I can enjoy the slow down in the market because of my investments. Every agent should be doing this!”
If you are a Designated, Real Estate Professional, there are amazing depreciation tax benefits that people outside of this designation do not enjoy!
This designation is an amazing benefit ONLY for real estate professionals!
Designated Real Estate professionals can leverage the maximum depreciation expense allowed in the 1st year(s) of ownership.
As realtors, we are in the proximity of potential investment opportunities and other investor resources on a daily basis!
This is our world! Please take advantage of the best and historically proven investment vehicle available.
We are surrounded by Investor clients, fellow realtors, mortgage originators, real estate attorneys, insurance brokers, inspectors, surveyors, appraisers, contractors and other vendors in the real estate business.
Shortly after I purchased a few income properties, my Dad mentioned that his best friend’s daughter was a local mortgage originator.
We grew up together! She guided me for several years utilizing creative lending techniques and programs.
Years later, she introduced me to the owner of the mortgage company because he was selling a 14 unit complex in a trendy part of Albany, NY.
We made a creative deal which lead to so much more!
I had to be in the Real Estate sales business to be in the “right place at the right time” for this opportunity.
It’s valuable creating relationships with the “players” in the real estate investment space.
10 or 15 years ago, I was a board member of a local real estate investor organization. I was tasked to make phone calls to the members for our Annual Christmas Party. One of the member phone calls resulted in purchasing his 16 unit property!
I wouldn’t have purchased this property if I wasn’t part of this group.
We are the center of the business. We have access to the recent market activity, neighborhood news, upcoming listings and the general pulse of the market. We have the competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The risk in our investment choices is mitigated because we have many resources available to us.
Typically, Real estate is a lagging indicator in the overall economy, which means real estate data and trends are noticed by the general public much later than what we see in the field. Realtors have a sense of the overall supply and demand, each time we market a property.
We have an insider’s edge! We see the market supply and demand in “real time!”
Have you invested actively and decided it’s too much because of nightmare tenant issues and tedious maintenance and emergency issues?
I understand 100%!!!!
I managed a lot of apartments for a long time and it took a serious toll on me! I’ve got a lot of stories to prove it!
The tenant nightmare stories and emergency maintenance issues are enough to keep many of us from “pulling the trigger” on buying opportunities and actively operating a multifamily investment.
We sold our portfolio of smaller multifamily properties that we accumulated over many years and shifted to exclusively acquiring larger commercial apartment buildings with Passive investor partners.
I reached out to the local brokers that sell commercial apartment buildings. I had to let everyone in the market know what properties I was seeking!
Larger apartment complexes!
A friendly broker began sourcing us great opportunities. He was finding owners with underperforming properties with massive upside potential!
We are currently seeking larger properties with our Passive Partners. Passive partners in our deals are 100% Passive! The management team handles everything.
Passive investing is an effective way to diversify your investment portfolio and provide income diversification.
