There’s a limiting belief that many people have: “I can’t do this thing because I have no experience”. Jamie Gruber disagreed with this line of thinking. Even with no multifamily experience, Jamie decided he wanted to be a multifamily investor. So what did he do? He started the Multifamily and More meetup to network with existing multifamily investors.This didn’t mean that Jamie had no experience in real estate, he had a small portfolio of single family homes that he started to landlord by accident. Even with no experience in the multifamily space he was interested in, he was able to secure a deal with a member of his network.Now with 21 chapters and 10,000+ members, Multifamily and More has become a big part of the multifamily investing community. It grew because, as Jamie describes, he added value, stayed consistent with meetings and postings, and built an online community that could network and interact (even during COVID).Jamie gives his tips on starting a lasting community, how to navigate meetups during COVID lockdowns, finding the best partners for multifamily deals, and the importance of cash reserves when buying a property. Many single family investors want to transition to multifamily, if you’re part of that demographic, join Multifamily and More!In This Episode We Cover:Turning your primary residence into a profitable investment instead of sellingThe importance of having cash reserves available when doing dealsHow to break through single family investing and start growing a multifamily portfolioWhat a business partner needs to see in you before they can offer you deals, money, or experienceThe difference between financing residential deals and financing multifamily dealsWhy you need to have a good operating agreement when partnering on dealsAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsDavid's InstagramBrandon's InstagramBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets Podcast 266: How We Used a Partnership to Buy 900 Units with Jake and GinoMeetup.comGobundance EmergeZoomBiggerPockets Podcast 226: From “D-Student” to $400,000 in Annual Rental Property Cash Flow with David Osborn Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show436

436: Going into Multifamily When You’re Fairly New to Real Estate with Jamie Gruber

Scott McGillivray is back for this second part of his amazing interview. Last time we talked about the nitty gritty of Scott’s investments, how he started to acquire houses, and building his empire. Now we’re touching more on the mindset of what makes Scott so successful, and how you can put yourself in his shoes.Many people may know Scott from his HGTV shows, but maybe you didn’t know he was once in a boy band. Seriously. He took dance classes, convinced his friends to join him, and sold out some shows, but the takeaway from this short-lived boy band was priceless. If you see someone else finding success with something, use their blazed trail to find success yourself.From his boy band, to being on student council, and even the passing away of a loved one, Scott learned valuable lessonsthat he took with him for the rest of his life, and now gets to share with the BiggerPockets audience.Scott goes on to share a story that made him pivot the direction of his life as a teenager, and lead him to become the real estate mogul he is today. Scott goes through his top pieces of advice for young people and proves how planting seeds for investments early leads to acres upon acres of residual fruits for decades to come.In This Episode We Cover:How Scott manages his hectic life between companies, shows, and familyWhy successful people aren’t afraid of failingWhat young or inexperienced investors should do when they feel scared of taking a riskWhy Scott says you “can’t lose money in real estate”The importance of talking to those who are older and have more experience than youScott’s top pieces of advice for young people just starting out their careersHow Scott runs his companies and what he’s doing to be a better leaderHow you can be the MVP of your company And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeBooks Mentioned in this Show:E-Myth by Michael GerberBuilt to Sell by John WarrillowClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show435

435: Why Successful People HATE Losing, But Aren’t Afraid to Lose with Scott McGillivray (Part 2)

Do you like watching home improvement shows such as Income Property, Vacation House Rules, and Buyers Bootcamp? If so, you’re in luck! Joining us on the podcast is HGTV host Scott McGillivray! Scott has been hosting some of the best real estate investing and construction shows for over a decade now, and if you like BiggerPockets, you’ve probably seen an episode of one of Scott’s shows!Scott’s investing career started long before his TV network deals. As a student in college, Scott accidentally stumbled upon his landlord’s mortgage statement of account. He realized that him and his roommates were paying a few hundred dollars over what their landlord was paying monthly for a mortgage. That was the lightbulb moment for Scott. It was time to get into real estate investing.While in college with no job, very little money, and no experience, Scott bought a house and moved out of his rented room. Now he wanted more. Over the next few years Scott started amassing more and more rentals, taking as many financing options as he could get his hands on. By the time he was 25, he already had 25 units and a significant amount of profit coming in every year.This only pushed Scott to strive for bigger and better deals. Now Scott owns hundreds of rentals, and spends his time between Florida and Canada, finding more deals, and fixing up more rentals.Scott is a tried and true investor, one who has gone through different market swings, different fads, and many different tenants. While he’s only in his early 40s, he has amassed an extensive knowledge of the real estate space. It’s no surprise he’s one of Brandon’s real estate heroes!If you liked this episode be sure to tune in this weekend for part 2 of Scott's interview!In This Episode We Cover:When is the best time to get started in real estate?Why most people are scared to invest, and what pushes them to finally do itAmassing a small real estate empire even while you’re youngHow to take advantage of financing offers and how Scott closed on 8 houses in the same dayWhy you need to give your investing career time to start rollingWhat a “double offer” is, and how you can use it to beat others to a dealWhy you should take action even when the market is uncertainThe ScottMc MethodAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets ShirtBiggerPockets PodcastIncome Property ShowGrant CardoneBrandon's Guesting in Scott's PodcastCheck the full show notes here: http://biggerpockets.com/show434

434: How HGTV’s Scott McGillivray Started a Real Estate Empire with No Job, No Money, and No Experience (Part 1)

You may have heard a speech from Ed Mylett (AKA the greatest speaker of today) sometime before this episode, but maybe not like this. For those who don’t know, Ed Mylett is a renowned speaker, entrepreneur, real estate investor, author, and podcaster. He has started businesses worth millions and continues to teach entrepreneurs through his personal brand.What many people don’t know is how much Ed loves real estate. That’s right, you heard it first on BiggerPockets! It’s not the speaking, writing, and podcasting, it’s owning cash flowing properties. As a matter of fact, he just closed on one recently with his son and did an astonishing $100 million in real estate deals in 2020.Ed emphasizes the importance of faith, generosity, and most importantly, setting your life at a high standard. These seem to be the key thought processes that many other successful entrepreneurs have, and again proves Ed’s point on their importance.It’s not easy being in real estate, especially when the deals get big (we’re talking $25M+ deals). Ed cautions young investors to not bite off more than they can chew, or as he puts it “don’t take a loss where you can’t fight again”. In a world full of mega-leveraged investment opportunities, this might be the advice new investors need to feel confident going forward.This episode also dives into the importance of having a purpose, whether related to faith or not, and how you need to chase the life you want, set your standards high, and do the most impactful things to accomplish them.Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book store#Maxout Your Life WebsiteBooks Mentioned in this Show:#Maxout Your Life by Ed MylettE-Myth by Michael GerberClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show433

432: From $0 to $1,000,000 in 5 Years: The 4 Steps to Gain Millionaire Net Worth with Brandon and David

Your agent is calling you to show you houses, your boss is emailing you about some work to do, your partner wants to grab dinner, and you want to take a nap. How do you prioritize things in your life when everything seems so important? The key is essentialism.Joining the podcast today is Greg McKeown, Author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg relates to the struggle of many entrepreneurs and investors: too many options, not enough time. Instead of telling you to wake up at 5 AM, take a cold shower and work until 10PM, he presents a far more effective (and simple) approach.What Greg suggests: pick the things you care most about, do them, and don’t worry about the rest. But how do you pick when everything seems essential?The answer: almost everything else besides your core cares/needs aren’t essential. If you begin to treat the non-essential as essential, you stretch yourself too thin, not allowing you the time to accomplish what truly is...essential.In the modern age, many of us feel like we don’t have time to accomplish everything we want. When we get laser-focused and put the principles of essentialism in our daily lives, we can accomplish more than ever.In This Episode We Cover:What is essentialism?How to designate the non-essential from the essential tasksWhy having too many good options puts us in a dangerous positionHow to find out which tasks deserve delegation or deletionDeveloping the courage to say “no”Finding an accountability partner so you’re locked in for successWhy Brandon wants to spend less time on TiktokAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeEssentialism book WebsiteStickK App. How to turn goals into a realityClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show431

430: Best of 2020: Brandon and David’s Favorite Pieces of Advice from 2020 Guests

How many times has something happened in life where we blamed someone besides ourselves for the outcome? Didn’t get a promotion: it’s your bosses fault for being greedy! Ran late to work: it’s all the other drivers faults, not yours! Investment property having problems: it’s the tenant doing all the damage!Ryan Michler, founder of the Order of Man, sees this sort of victim mentality as a massive block to our full potential. He makes the well-put point that all we can do is control our effort, we can’t control others.This realization didn’t come easy, though. Ryan realized this after a tough fight with his partner, leading him to reevaluate not only their relationship, but the way he shifted blame on others, in an unhealthy way.Now Ryan interviews the men that he looks up to on his own podcast, all while running his organization/brotherhood of those part of the “Order of Man”.It’s not easy to stay humble and calm all the time, especially in the state of our current world, but Ryan does as good of a job as any to remind us all that our future is in our hands, and all we can do is try our best, consistently.In This Episode We Cover:Why we all need to practice humility, ownership, responsibility, and sovereignty The importance of having a “servant’s mindset” even as a business ownerHow to constantly add value to whatever you do in lifeWhy we should shift our focus to our efforts and not other’s effortsWhy having children makes you want to be better and push harderThe importance of owning and running a business, even at a young ageDropping the “I” and using the “We” when leading a teamWhy “the win” is simply “playing the game”And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeThe Intention JournalOrder Of Man PodcastClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show429

429: Pursuing Self-Sovereignty and Why Life is More Meaningful When It’s Hard with Ryan Michler

Rodney Ross didn’t have the most gracious entrance to the real estate space. He bought a house while in college, with only $8,000 down and not a lot in the bank. The house ended up getting de-authorized for tenants to live in so Rodney had to go back on his loan. Game over right? Time to give up? Not for Rodney!While finishing college, Rodney decided to take it a bit slower, getting his real estate agent license so he could build up the capital to buy rentals. He’s been an agent, a wholesaler, a general contractor, and a buy and hold investor. If it’s happening in real estate, Rodney probably knows about it!Unlike many new (and even experienced) real estate investors, Rodney took the time to nurture leads, have meaningful conversations with sellers and buyers, and found that by having some basic empathy for the other party, you’re more likely to close deals.This strategy seemed to have worked, in a decade since his first deal, Rodney now has around 20 cash flowing units, and he’s looking for more! Using the 203k loan, Rodney has been able to get homes at a discount, finance the repairs, and get them rented and refinanced, kind of like a speciality BRRRR. This episode proves that if you care about real estate, care about your partners, and are willing to take risks, it will truly pay off.In This Episode We Cover:How to get back up after a frustrating investmentHow knowing about construction timelines and projects can help you get comfortable enough to do your first rehabWhy mixed use properties are often an overlooked real estate classThe importance of defining your role with your partnerHow to talk to buyers so they’ll choose you over other offersWhy it’s so important to look out for the other real estate parties in a dealAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsDavid's InstagramBrandon's InstagramBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets StoreKeller WilliamsWells FargoCheck the full show notes here: http://biggerpockets.com/show428

428: Using Simple Conversations to Get Deals Others Can’t with Investor Rodney Ross

We’re joined today by author, consultant, and entrepreneur Brian Moran, author of The 12 Week Year. Brian holds a view that many BiggerPockets listeners subscribe to: you are more capable than you think. Through short term sprints, Brian has found that we can all accomplish long-term goals, regardless of the difficulty.This isn’t just a strategy that works for real estate, this works in any industry. Brian has consulted with every kind of business, and the results speak for themselves. Regardless of job type, business type, or industry type, the 12 week yearhelps you accomplish more by doubling down on what you need to do most.Brian also talks about the danger of long term goal setting, and even annual goal setting. It isn’t that long term goal setting doesn’t work, it’s that it presents us with a long time frame to accomplish something we could do far quicker. That’s how the 12 week year kicks our “unproductive mindset” to the curb, and gets us fired up to do great things sooner.Many investors find it hard to break out of their comfort zone, do the things that they find hard, or even just feel motivated. The crucial part of finding success wherever you need it? Take action, start today, track, plan, and re-plan when needed. You’ll soon find that you’re fired up about things that used to seem scary!In This Episode We Cover:What the “12 Week Year” really isHow short term goal setting can help you accomplish your biggest goalsWhy you need to shift focus to executable tasks How to get tactical on your goals and what you can do to accomplish themLeaning into hard things and shying away from comfortThe importance of “vision work” and knowing where you’re headedHolding yourself accountable for what you want most in lifeHow repetition forms competence and competence forms confidenceAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeReal Estate Investment CalculatorsBuy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat by David GreeneThe House Hacking Strategy by Craig CurelopClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show427

427: The 12 Week Year and The Danger of Long-Term Goal Setting with Brian Moran

Many new investors find excuses for why they can’t buy properties. Either they don’t have the money, the deals, or the experience. Our guest today, Jon Wooten, had none of these three, but found a way to acquire 18 units (and become financially free) in only a few years.By asking questions and sticking out to the local real estate investors, Jon was able to acquire valuable experience, all while gaining equity in his rental properties. Jon has his own method for finding deals and acquiring wealth, called the “Sunflower Method”, which has helped him get to the point he is at.Now, financially free at 28, Jon has the ability to choose whether he wants to work, which projects to go after, and how he wants to spend his time.

Amanda Young stumbled into real estate. After being let go from a job, dealing with a family emergency, and homeschooling her son, Amanda knew that she had to find a way to provide for her family, but also allow her to discover her hidden edge.After finding BiggerPockets and joining a local REIA (real estate investors association), she decided to take the jump and buy her first rental. Now, in 2020, she has 7 rental properties and a flourishing flipping business, working with a partner that matches her energy.Amanda found her localized niche by targeting owners of “sinkhole homes” and offering them deals that not only made sense for the buyer, but were a steal for her.
