Today, our Leafy hosts sit down with Roger Auger, a successful real estate investor and business owner.  Roger has a new book out ‘No Excuses’, which tells his story of hustling stolen Mac and Cheese and paying his parents’ mortgage at age 13 and how he was able to rise above poverty and run a successful real estate empire. Roger talks about his tough start in life in a family with alcoholic and bipolar parents, finding odd jobs to keep his struggling situation afloat and how that gave him the drive to slowly build his real estate investing business.  He tells us  step-by-step, building his portfolio off his full-time jobs. He was able to quit his full-time W-2 job and invest full-time,  managing hundreds of doors while creating a profitable property management company that he’s since sold to concentrate on investing and charity work to pay it forward. His message is clear, anyone can pull themselves out of a bad situation with determination.  To learn more about Roger, visit https://www.sellfasthamilton.ca/

On this episode of the Leafy Show, Jennifer and Brian talk with Jennifer Grimson, host of the Micro Empires Podcast. Jennifer went bankrupt twice, lost everything - twice, and came back creating a $1.4m income producing success. Jennifer started with a short term rental in Nashville via AirBNB when it first got started. As the sole parent, Jennifer had to keep her day job and started using her retirement fund as a vehicle for investments. She slowly accumulated more short term rentals over the last 4 years, using tiny, actionable steps that moved her in the direction of her goals. She surrounded herself with the right people and took calculated, educated moves, which she called ‘micro-risks’. Jennifer then became a hard money lender and invested in private technology companies, creating a very successful company. As a consequence of her industrious investments,  she was able to quit her W-2 job and run her own business. Jennifer tells us that there are so many ways to be involved in real estate and they can be small ‘micro’ decisions, they don’t have to always be huge investments to be profitable.  To learn more about Jennifer Grimson and the Micro Empires Podcast, visit: https://micro-empires.com/

In his retirement, Rob authored the book, Retire Before Mom & Dad, is a Forbes Deputy Editor, and podcast host to the Dough Roller Money Podcast, a finance podcast for easy-to-understand advice and guidance on managing your money.  Rob is also an investor and retired lawyer. Rob has been investing in the stock market for nearly 30 years and in real estate for almost 20. Rob tells us that low cost index funds are a great way to start your investments. It’s the best way to build long-term wealth. Then active investing, like real estate investing, are wonderful tools to help extend that wealth. Rob started in his real estate investing with HUD foreclosures.  He warns don't overextend yourself, think 10-20 years down the road, instead of an immediate payday. Over leveraging with real estate investments can get a novice investor into real trouble.

Episode 91: Buy Your Financial Freedom $1 at a Time with Rob Berger

Today, Leafy host Jennifer Gligoric sits down with Marco Kozlowski. Marco is well known as one of the world’s leading experts in Real Estate Investing, Platform Speaking and Systems Process Engineering. He is currently an owner in a wide variety of successful companies in multiple countries. From holistic medical centers to a robust property portfolio to advanced one on one mentoring – Marco’s methodologies have proven results. Marco started real estate in Canada 20 years ago. After becoming quite successful, he and his family moved to Las Vegas, NV. In 2009, his now ex-wife left him and took all his money. He lost everything, and was even homeless for a short time. But because he knew what he knows about real estate, and refused to let that be the end of his story, he jumped back in with an even more elegant strategy that relies on profiting from rental properties purchased with none of your own money (a process Marco teaches called asset based lending).That’s when he decided to move away from single family investing and get into multifamily investing.  With Marco’s Asset based lending, you never have to bring a single penny to the closing table. He helps investors find discounted real estate by finding deals with sellers looking to get out quickly. He doesn’t do house flipping. He doesn’t look for drug dens, burnt out buildings, or rotting, infested homes left over from reality TV shows. He buys and owns properties like apartments, townhomes, duplexes, hotels, trailer parks – stable rental opportunities that are healthy and earning money, and that the owners need to sell. Marco tells us to divorce yourself from negativity because that will never lead to success. Listen to the entire podcast to learn more about Marco and his inspiring success story. To learn more about Marco Kozlowski, visit: https://bigfatchecks.com  and https://marcokozlowski.com/

He has served as both Director of Business Development and Director of Operations for NuView Trust Company – a self-directed custodian with over $1.4 billion of assets under custody. Jason tells us about how we can use Self-Directed IRAs, to invest in real estate, loans (including business lending), and private equity investing (in syndications and private companies). Jason tells us that the limitations for lending money with your Self-Directed IRA is that you can’t do business with yourself, spouse, and parents and that you have to stick to market rates when lending. Jason also covers how to invest in multifamily real estate via syndication. Jason compares syndication investing to investing in a mutual fund; wherein you leverage the knowledge of an experienced investor. In closing, Jason talks about his services as Co-founder and Chairman of Chair the Love, a 501(c)(3)organization that provides wheelchairs and other mobility-related services to those in need. To find out more about Jason DeBono and NuView Trust, visit: www.nuviewtrust.com
