Key Takeaways:
“People think they can do it on their own.” – Alan Chantker
“A lot of people nowadays – unfortunately, I call them the youngsters – think that you can just sit at home because you can order anything online. They think you can do your wholesaling online. While I know that there are some people who do virtual wholesaling or virtual real estate, I really think that you can only do that if you’ve gotten your feet wet with being out in the real world, talking to real sellers and buyers and everybody else. As human beings, we’re called social animals. We do need to get out there.” – Alan Chantker
“Unless you’re surrounded by a lot of positive people telling you ‘go ahead and do the real estate’ which is really rare, it’s hard on a day-to-day basis to keep it up because it does take a while to get the business off the ground. Having that encouragement in meetings is very important to keep your spirits up.” – Alan Chantker

15:54 - The biggest lesson learned in all the years he's been in the real estate industry
Key Takeaways:
"The number one thing that attracts me to real estate from an investment point of view is the passive nature of it in the sense that compared to things like the stock market, which are a lot more volatile, real estate, to me has always been more manageable risk, more calculated risk. And that's something I'm a lot more comfortable with." - Cory Beattie
"The other thing that interests me about the industry itself is that there are so many different ways that you can get involved in so many different ways that you can actually make some money and make a living." - Cory Beattie
"Multifamily is a nice way to spread your risk, because if you compare that with single-family, all your eggs are in that one basket in that one house." - Cory Beattie
"Right now, there's actually a lot of really attractive financing for multifamily. Believe it or not, you can get sub-four and sub-five interest rates. I can't think of a better time to get involved with that type of investment. It's quite attractive compared to what I've seen in the last ten years." - Cory Beattie
"The number one thing for people to keep in mind is that, for me, the biggest lesson I've learned is you always have to have an exit strategy in mind." - Cory Beattie
"I think it's great for everyone to have some real estate in their portfolio simply because of the returns. But on the flip side of that, it's not necessarily for everyone in terms of being hands-on." - Cory Beattie

"The biggest thing I see is that the mistake of avoiding finances. Really comes down to lack of control. That's where Profit First, I feel like how does that fix that not only helps you to focus on it, but it helps you focus on your finances from your perspective, from the entrepreneur, because we check our bank accounts. And Profit First is all about bank accounts. It's all about the practical steps, I should say." - David Richter
"It is all about that mindset shift from paying everyone else first besides yourself. That's why I like the practical steps because we hear it so often from so many different sources to pay yourself first. But then, until you start getting into that habit and seeing the tangible benefits of doing that, it's hard for that mindset to sink in. Unless you can totally see the goal line." - David Richter
"Many people, when they think they're savvy, and they can read the financial statements, and they can do this, in that there's a big difference between the financial statements like a profit and loss and the actual cash going in and out of the accounts, especially in the real estate investing world because we deal with loans." - David Richter

"My idea was to get into an office [brokerage] where there were experts all around me, and so anything I wanted to learn or have questions about, I could just literally godown the hall, I could just go talk to an expert in the region. I got to learn there, the market very well." - Marc Bushee
"One of the big appealing factors for us about storage facilities is that they're easier to manage, they're easier to maintain. And they're just, it's just more simplified." - Marc Bushee
"From a property management standpoint, [storage facilities] it just simplifies everything, having one central location. I've kind of transferred over most of my property management to other people. It's not always easy to find property managers that want to have 10,15, 20, 30 houses all over town. It's so much easier to have just one site like that." - Marc Bushee
"I can't see where you can go wrong with it [real estate]. There's so much to it as far as like the income itself, there's the wealth-building aspect of your asset appreciating. Ideally, someone's paying off your mortgage, and you're leveraging money, leveraging time." - Marc Bushee
"Is it for everyone to be directly involved in it [real estate]? You can be as active and hands-on as you want, or you can be very passive and invest with partners and invest with other people." - Marc Bushee

"Like everything, there are pros and cons. If you're buying in a park, I think the biggest con can be the park management and the park owner.

I think it's really building rapport and a great relationship with them, really making it a win-win and letting them know you're in it to help them that you're going to get them guaranteed lot rent." - Christy Duckett
"A lot of the marketing that I was using for single-family homes I use a lot for mobile homes so I found bandit signs, and a lot of times, if it's in a park, just talking to the owner, or manager because they can become a huge pipeline lead." - Christy Duckett

"You need the education to be an engineer or a doctor or lawyer. The same is true in real estate. To be able to be successful here, you need an education. The sophisticated investor has a leg up on everybody else. They know the ins and outs, which can save them money, and the REIA really provides that, whether through the education side or the networking. I can't tell you how much money I've saved through the networking within our organization." - Zach Weaver
"When you join the REIA, all the contractors are members. You got your whole team there. When you join, you've got real estate agents in there. You've got accountants, you've got lawyers, and you got contractors, so a lot of that stuff's there. "- Zach Weaver
"The networking, it's huge. You go there to get the education at some point, you've kind of gotten all that education, and now you're transitioning more to the networking side of the people you meet, and deals just flow from knowing people that are in the business and that are doing deals and the more you're participating, you're active, you're seen as a leader." - Zach Weaver

Key Takeaways:
"The main reason why I invested in real estate was basically for time and to have some options in my life. By making some extra cash flow and having some financial freedom down the road from real estate, I could do what I want with my time." - Demetri Boundris
"It [multifamily commercial properties] produces a little bit more cash flow as well like economies of scale so the more units, generally, really do that. That's one of the reasons why I do like it." - Demetri Boundris
"[His unfair advantage] I think it's finding creative ways to generate more income and properties that some others don't see, like, adding lockers, renting a garage on the property that someone didn't see the opportunity to do, and adding a laundry room." - Demetri Boundris
"Don't pass up on a good deal." - Demetri Boundris
"I don't think it's [real estate investing] for everybody, certainly being an active realtor. But I do think that to some degree, real estate investing can be for everybody. Some people may just want to do it passively. They just want to invest the money and let somebody else take care of everything else, but it certainly can do a lot for someone's life." - Demetri Boundris
