Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne and we have an outstanding episode lined up for you all today. It’s something we’ve never done before and I’m about as excited as a mosquito in a blood bank to share this with you all. This episode is a first time ever - it is a live podcast that took place at our Self Storage Income live event that we hosted in Coeur D’Alene Idaho. This was THE LARGEST private self storage event that has ever taken place and the energy there was unlike any conference I’ve ever been to. Now onto the podcast… The one and only Brandon Turner (Host of the Bigger Pockets Podcast) joined us on stage for this live podcast. The day previous, Brandon had made mention of the ultimate goal of becoming an architect of your real estate investment empire - meaning, knowing what pieces of the puzzle you need, and knowing how and when to utilize those pieces to build a real estate investing machine. We build off this idea in this great conversation and talk everything scale, capital, management, and more. This is one of those podcasts you’ll want the notebook and pen ready to go for. The wealth of knowledge being shared is invaluable. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your copy of my Self Storage Playbook.

I have an awesome and incredibly interesting episode lined up for you all today with the one and only Matthew Sullivan, Founder and CEO of QuantumRE.

Just to give a teaser - we’re talking about an innovative way to access your home’s equity without taking on an additional loan, how this is powered by blockchain, and what homeowners and investors alike can do to get involved.

Accessing Home Equity Without A Loan with Matthew Sullivan

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! I’ve got an amazing guest lined up for you guys today who is going to help shed some light of TRUTH on the financial and investing world. I’m excited to introduce Chris Miles. Chris started his career in financial advising from day one, but quickly realized that there were some major issues in the world of financial advising. Even going so far as to call the financial advising industry “broken”. Something he said during this podcast really sends this whole issue home. In relation to financial advisors in general - he says, “...are they making good money because they make good investments, or are they making money because they’re good salesmen?”. Recognizing these issues, he chose to become the ANTI - financial advisor. A term he’s coined to help bring reality into financial advising. We’re going to unpack some of these industry wide problems and help uncover some pitfalls that you can hopefully avoid. Apart from that, we’re going to talk about the keys that will help you work because you want to, not because you have to. We’re also going to dive into stock investing and shed some truth there as well. Hopefully this helps spread some light on the issues and can help put you guys on the right track so you don’t waste your time or money in what could very well be just another sales pitch. Thanks for listening everybody! AJ Keep up with Chris on his website or listen to his podcast!

The Anti-Financial Advisor Chris Miles | The Truth About Investing and Building Wealth

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!    Debt - there are very few subjects that have gotten as bad a wrap as debt has. Don’t get me wrong, debt when you don’t understand it… can be downright deadly. But debt used as a rocket fuel for generating wealth and income… that’s when debt becomes a massive force of leverage.    But how? How can taking on debt ever be a good thing? Isn’t buying all cash a better way to go? Isn’t paying off a loan as quickly as possible the best course of action? Yes and no, just like the above gives hint to - it depends on what kind of debt we’re talking about.    Let’s clear this up once and for all - not all debt is BAD and not all debt is created equal. We have two kinds of debt - consumer debt (which is generally bad and that you should try to avoid). And then we have revenue producing debt (which is the sweet nectar of the gods for investors).    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I couldn’t be more excited to help shed some light on this subject because I see it and hear it every single day. I hope this helps you more fully understand the different types of debt, when you should and SHOULDN’T be afraid of debt, and when you can use it effectively to help grow your wealth.    Outside of that, I give a bit of economic back story in regard to capital,  the different types of markets, economic cycles, and more to really take a deep dive on the subject.    Enjoy everybody and we’ll catch you next time!  AJ Become a part of the CRE Circle: https://ajosborne.com/cre-circle/

Breaking Into Real Estate Through Wholesaling with Chris Craddock

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne!    It’s my honor and my pleasure to introduce you to the one and only Codie Sanchez. Codie has a background in finance and also worked as a journalist who covered some of the darkest and heaviest subject matter you could as a journalist - human trafficking. It was after this that she chose to pursue a career in finance. Reason being, she recognized that the placement of capital was what actually brought about change and impact to address world issues. As she says here in this podcast, the power of the pen is mighty, but the power of capital is mighty-er.   Codie got interested in buying businesses soon after by realizing the huge need and desire there is in the market place for business owners looking to offload their companies. Through this, we talk about everything from buying and selling businesses, to debt and how to use it to your advantage, the value of doing hard things, mindset, and a ton more.  https://contrarianthinking.co/ Tune in, take notes, and we’ll see you next time!    Thanks everybody! AJ

How to be Successful in Real Estate with Dave Seymour

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host, AJ Osborne! It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Van Sturgeon. Van was born and raised in the Northside of Chicago helping his parents own and operate an apartment building. The economy was bad, vacancies were high, and the family had to perform all the repairs and maintenance on their own to limit cost and to make ends meet. This built the foundation for what was to come. Van later built a company renovating real estate. This gave Van an inside look and connection to real estate investors who were buying and flipping homes while using his company as their go-to renovator. It didn’t take long for Van to recognize and realize the potential there was in real estate investing, whether that be buying, renovating and holding, or buying and flipping. He’s built an impressive portfolio and now has over 1k doors across the U.S. and Canada. Today Van shares the truth about “finding deals”, the fundamentals of value, and his advice for anyone looking to start investing in real estate. This episode is packed with tons of great information for anyone in the real estate world currently or those that are looking to break into real estate investing. Be sure to take notes, soak it up, and put to work the concepts Van shares with us today. Thanks everybody, AJ   Keep up with Van at his website: https://vansturgeon.com/

Jay is a real estate investor and built his foundations of real estate investing through wholesaling. We touch a bit on what exactly Jay does, but more importantly, we talk about the HOW.

More specifically, our mindsets and our influences and atmospheres. Today’s podcast is an incredibly in depth look into some of the ways that Jay has built success around great and genuine relationships. He shares some simple tools and resources that he’s used in his own life to help build systems for maintaining and building great relationships with the people he’s chosen to surround himself with.

How to Build Yourself, Your Relationships, and Your Business with Jay Malloy

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne! So… if you’ve been online or to your local hardware or lumber store, you might have noticed something - the price of lumber (and materials in general) has skyrocketed. Honestly, saying the cost of lumber has “skyrocketed” even seems like an understatement. This is why I’m having my great friend and our head of acquisitions here at Cedar Creek Wealth, Brain Mullally on the podcast today to talk everything lumber. You see, before Brian joined my team, he wandered the mountainside in a flannel shirt, carrying a large ax, looking to strike it big in the lumber industry. Well… that might be a stretch lol. Brian worked in the lumber industry for years and continues to keep up the relationships he built over the years in the lumber industry. That said, he not only knows a thing or two about lumber and what’s currently going on, but he’s also got a backstage pass to the mills, the suppliers, and everyone in between to get the scoop on these crazy events we’re seeing unfold with lumber prices. Brian shares his years of experience and helps to shed light on why lumber costs have increased so much over the past year or so. We also dive into various economic factors as to why this increase is happening, and how this increased pricing is affecting other industries across the country. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, so I’ll let you get right to it. Enjoy, spread the word, and maybe invest in a few 2x4’s… Thanks everybody, AJ

The Truth Behind Skyrocketing Lumber Prices with Brian Mullally

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne! I’m extra excited about today’s episode because we get to hang out with one of my favorite real estate friends… the one and only Brittany Arnason! You might know her as investorgirlbritt on social media. She’s become wildly popular on social media with sharing her experiences from BRRR’ing single-family homes. Fun fact - she actually used to sleep in the houses as she was renovating them! Talk about dedication! If you’ve followed me and this podcast for any amount of time, you might have heard mention my philosophy of scaling both vertically AND horizontally. Brittany is in this pivotal space now moving towards scaling horizontally. What does that mean? Brittany is now shifting her focus on commercial real estate investing, specifically (my favorite asset class lol)... SELF STORAGE! This is an amazing time to have Brittany on the podcast as she’s actively making this transition that so many investors ultimately want to make - the shift into commercial real estate. Whether be more zeros, more management, limited experience, or fear of the unknown, it often proves difficult for so many of us to make these leaps from one type of investing to another. Listen in and hear how she started her real estate investing journey, where she’s at now, what’s going through her mind, what her plans are, and what she’s actively doing now to accomplish HUGE goals in the next few months. Speaking of goals, we talk a lot in today’s episode about the process of setting and achieving goals, and ways that you can help shorten the timeframes for you to achieve your ultimate goals. Tune in, take notes, and learn how Brittany is making the move from single-family homes to commercial real estate investing! Thanks everybody, AJ   Keep up with Brittany on social media and her website: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investorgirlbritt/?hl=en Website: https://brittanyarnason.com

How to Go From Single Family to Commercial Real Estate Investing with Brittany Arnason

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! One of the biggest stresses that most of us feel consistently throughout our lives is MONEY. Money problems can crush dreams, marriages, physical and mental health, and our lives as we know them. Money is a big deal to a lot of us, but how do we get to that place where money isn’t a problem, but more so an asset, a lever, and a tool for us to achieve everything we’ve dreamed of? This is why I’m excited to have Jim Crider on the podcast today to help shed some light money and what we can do to set ourselves up for success. Jim had originally been working in sales… he couldn’t stand it, didn’t think he was good at it, and ultimately decided he had to move on. This led him to be unemployed for about an 8 month period of time, which brought to light his own financial situation and stresses that he himself began to feel about money. These thoughts and stresses sparked his interest and set him on the path to financial planning. Today we walk through some frameworks that will help you identify what your goals are, aligning your actions with those goals, and step by step how you can start working towards and start living the life you truly want to live. This episode is full of value for anyone looking to get to a place where money, time, life, is completely aligned (which is the vast majority of us!). Take notes, soak it up, and start! Thanks, everybody, AJ   Keep up with Jim on his Intentional Living website at: https://www.intentionallivingfp.com/
