Key Takeaways:
“Definitely what happens is we make decisions based on where we are. And you need to determine exactly where you’re going. Start with the end in mind and establish what does that looks like for you and operate as if you already have that today.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“The goal for a lot of people is to be comfortable. That’s your biggest mistake right there. Because you can’t grow if you don’t take risks. And if you can’t grow, you’re not going to be fulfilled.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“Your biggest obstacle will always be you. Plain and simple.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“Our parents told us, don’t rent, buy because you’re making the landlord rich. The message should have been, don’t rent, become the landlord.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“The biggest mistake that people make that I see from my perspective is they don’t promote enough. You can have the best business in the world, the best property, but if people don’t know that you’re doing it, it’s useless. People do business with people they know.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“Find a niche and become an expert at that niche Get out there and start talking, start sharing, start teaching, start giving. As a result, you will attract people into your business.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“You can only go so far with your own money, with your own time, with your own credit. You do need other people’s money, other people’s credit, other people’s time. And the only way to get that quickly is to start becoming an expert now.” – Alfonso Cuadra
“I did have a problem speaking in English in public. The message is what matters and how people feel about your message and what they can do about what you’re saying. And so once I got out of my own head, I was able to communicate, engage with people, and actually be of service to them.” – Alfonso Cuadra

Summary
Mark Kenney is a seasoned real estate investor, coach, two-time best-selling author, and founder of Think Multifamily. Mark started his Apartment Investing career over 20 years ago as a side hustle while working 70-80 hour work per week in the corporate world. He has purchased over 5,000 units in just the past few years in five different states.
In this episode of The Property Profits Real Estate Podcast, Mark shares his journey of investing in real estate early on in his life and having to quit his day job and replace his income in the quickest time possible. Learn the credibility shortcut to doing REALLY big deals and discover the reason why Mark things that multifamily real estate is the quickest way to build wealth.
Topics Covered:
01:01 – What led him to real estate investing
03:34 – The biggest challenge in real estate
05:53 – What one struggle people have when they first get started
06:59 – How to raise capital
09:40 – How to structure for the minimum investment
10:26 – What sets him apart from other real estate investors
13:45 – What mistakes do newbies commit when investing in multi-family properties
16:07 – How long did it take him to replace his day job income
Key Takeaways:
“No doubt, everyone almost without exception, has fear of raising capital. I was petrified of doing it. I never asked my dad for money, for anything, never asked anyone else for money. It was hard. And that’s kind of the area where people do struggle. They’re like, I don’t want to ask people, I’m going to get rejected. ” – Mark Kenney
“With raising capital, there’s no question in my mind, the easiest way to try to raise capital is to partner with somebody that has a deal already that you know, like, trust and you’re coming in and they have a track record. – Mark Kenney
“I think brokers would attest to this that yeah, you need something of value you can bring.” – Mark Kenney
“I tell people if you have an opportunity to screw somebody. Don’t do it because it’s a small world. And we just have a good reputation with sellers and brokers that we do what we say we’re going to do that are fair for people, reasonable, and we close the deals.” – Mark Kenney
“The learning process is, I would say to learn how to analyze things like that, you can do it pretty quickly. There are no substitutes for doing the deal. Everyone goes through a deal. That’s way more than I thought it was going to be, but it just gets easier as you do more.” – Mark Kenney

The Michael Quarles Real Estate Show
Summary
Michael Quarles started as a Real Estate Entrepreneur when he was an adult teenager, buying an R2 lot, and building a duplex. He didn’t know what the heck he was doing; all he knew was that he wanted to. He had an “S” on his chest mentality, which helped push him through the many unknown battles of real estate. Since that day, he has been involved with hundreds and hundreds of real estate deals. In 1991 he obtained his general building contractors license, building over 70 single-family homes and multifamily units from the ground up.
Michael is a ‘marketing machine’ for finding great deals. After doing hundreds of deals on purpose and through marketing systemization, several people asked him how he did so many deals so quickly… His answer then remains the same as it is now: it was a matter of marketing, understanding negotiation, and respecting systems. Subsequently, he began helping new and seasoned investors jumpstart their marketing and their careers through a variety of family businesses that he is proud of today.
In today’s episode, Michael will share with us his decades-long experience in real estate, the techniques, and marketing strategies he employs to find good deals. Not to mention, he will also tell us what works and what doesn’t. With expertise that has been seasoned by decades of dabbling into real estate, expect nothing but value from Michael.
Topics Covered:
01:03 – His journey into the real estate world
02:56 – Where does he focus as an investor
04:21 – Why do end buyers buy from him and not from another wholesaler
06:47 – How he came about marketing whilst finding deals
07:50 – How different was doing real estate then versus now
10:54 – What other marketing strategies does he do other than direct mails which are also effective
14:23 – Why a seller allows him to buy a house at a discount even if they could sell it on a multiple listing service
17:39 – Giving us his reality of generating prospects
Key Takeaways:
“I started laying out all the things I did to find the opportunity at hand cause opportunities, hard to do or hard to find, you just have to be consistent and know what you’re doing and then keep doing it and systemize yourself so you can do it on purpose.” – Michael Quarles
“We know that 80% of our deals come from follow up. I mean we’re kidding ourselves If we think that all of our deals are going to come from the first inbound phone call. It’s not how our gangs play. It’s a follow-up. I mean I didn’t marry my wife the first time I met her. I took her out a couple more times and that’s how society is run. We have to get used to something before we buy it or sell it or sell our house to it.” – Michael Quarles
“Direct mail works well for me, but it’s not the only thing I would suggest someone do. I think we would be kidding ourselves if we put all of our eggs in one basket because the moment that basket breaks all of our egg spills.” – Michael Quarles
“The idea is you have to have an abundance. Most investors with a problem that they live through is they don’t have an abundance or they start sharpening their pencils and their deals get really skinny. Well, if they had 15 opportunities a day, take the best one of those 15 and do that deal.” – Michael Quarles
“When you get it to the point where you remove yourself from being emotional, you can get better deals done.” – Michael Quarles
“If you guys want to have an on-purpose business, you have to start somewhere. You have to start with marketing.” – Michael Quarles

Building an Empire: Failing Our Way to Millions
http://www.mynd.com/
Summary
Steve Rozenberg is an airline pilot, author, and investor. He created and built a property management company and merged it with Mynd Property Management in 2019. He currently holds the position of Vice President Investor Education, which is focused on educating investors on goal-setting and strategies.
Years ago, Steve thought he was ‘set’ and had the safest and most secure job as an airline pilot. And then, the 911 tragedy happened, which shocked the world and affected many lives. Steve was not an exception and he lost his job.
That’s when he realized he needed to be in charge of his destiny and right there he promised himself that he wouldn’t let anything to control his finances and future. That’s when Steve shifted to real estate investing and did everything to learn the industry. But it was not an easy feat, and he made mistakes and lost money along the way. Now he is an accomplished real estate investor, owning dozens of real properties, apartment complexes, and has also flipped and wholesaled hundreds of properties in Texas.
Get to know Steve and learn from his experiences, and profit from some golden nuggets of wisdom in today’s episode.
Topics Covered:
01:17 – Steve narrates how the 911 tragedy ended his job as an airline pilot
03:19 – Turning to real estate investing after realizing that he needs to be in control of his finances and future
03:52 – How he studied and started in real estate
04:49 – What type of real estate he is currently focusing on
05:27 – The challenges that he and his business partners faced running their business
07:01 – Hiring a business coach and the significant benefits it brought their company
07:58 – Lessons learned from his mistakes
08:40 – Steve talks about how important is setting goals and the realities in real estate investing
12:01 – Two things to do to find out what your “why” is
15:34 – Aligning your goals with your spouse
17:58 – How to connect with Steve
Key Takeaways:
“I love flying. I would never give it up. I still fly for an airline, and I love it. But I also realize that I cannot let someone else or something else be in charge of my destiny, and not be in control of my own future and my finances just because I’m employed by someone. It doesn’t mean that they’re responsible for taking care of me, which is a different way of thinking, then I grew up.” – Steve Rozenberg
“I’ve been very, very fortunate. And I believe that the biggest reason is because I’ve learned that this is a business. And I’ve learned the hard way by getting taken advantage of, lost a lot of money, all those things. But I don’t think if I had not done that and learned those valuable lessons, I don’t think I would be here today.” – Steve Rozenberg
“I think it’s more important to ask yourself the “why” and nobody really takes the time to ask themselves.” – Steve Rozenberg
“The great thing about real estate is there are no rules. You can flip, you can wholesale syndicate, you can, you could do whatever you want. That’s a great thing. The bad thing is there are no rules. You can flip, you can wholesale, you can do whatever you want. There are too many choices.” – Steve Rozenberg
“The challenges when they get into real estate, is they’re waiting for someone to give them that advice. They’re waiting for that one word or phrase of advice. And I tell people that don’t exist. You being successful is made up of a lot of good decisions, not one great decision. So, there’s not one great thing that you’re going to do today that’s going to get you across the goal line. It’s a matter of doing things good consistently, and it’s not perfection. It’s persistence.” – Steve Rozenberg
“People get so focused to shoot holes in theories. Everybody has their moon. Everybody has their end destination. But you’ve got to make sure that you can clearly identify it.” – Steve Rozenberg

Check-out Adam Martin’s Airbnb rental property: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/30169329?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=207000214
http://mortgagealliance.com/adammartin
Summary
Adam Martin is Vice President of Sales for Control Your Property, real estate investor, and life-long entrepreneur. While obtaining his Honors degree in International Business Management, Adam was afforded the opportunity to travel Canada doing sales in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. He has been to over 17 countries, giving him the unique world view needed to perform in sales and bring value to his customers. Adam has also co-authored several courses and articles on real estate investing, and began investing at the age of 24 with one of the most creative deals in the business.
In this episode, Adam will show us the first steps to creating Vendor Take-Back Mortgages for your real estate deals, so if you want to learn more about a great strategy to get you started if you don’t have much capital, listen to this short and sweet interview. Check it out today 🙂
Topics Covered:
01:12 – How early on in life did he start investing in real estate and what got him into that
02:17 – The first steps anyone should do when diving into real estate
05:54 – What is vendor take-back financing
07:51 – How is vendor take-back financing presented to the seller and what are the benefits to them
13:10 – What are the important things to consider when talking about vendor take-backs?
15:06 – Where to find sellers that have free and clear ownership of their properties
Key Takeaways:
“This is absolutely the step that catapulted me forward in my real estate investment. One of the first things I did was I went surrounded myself with real estate investors. I went on a limo tour where we tour private off-market deals. I went on to one of those with absolutely no resources, no means to buy anything. But I went there for networking, to meet some great people. I ended up meeting my mentor there.” – Adam Martin
“Vendor takeback mortgage really does act and behave just like the bank would. There’s just often a lot of pros that you won’t find at the bank. For example, he wasn’t worried about my creditworthiness. He wasn’t worried about, my income or my ability to prove my income. And he wasn’t worried about my utilization on credit in any of those factors that would certainly come into play if we were talking to an institutional financer.” – Adam Martin
“So a big advantage, if anybody’s ever looked at an amortization schedule, you probably realize that at the beginning of the loan, the vast majority of your pay or a good chunk of your payment is going towards interest. And a smaller portion is going towards the principal. So as a seller, he’s benefiting from that. So he’s actually probably making much better than 3% on the money if you look at that timeframe. Cause that’s the trick to the whole amortization thing.” – Adam Martin

Summary
Matt McKeever, CPA is a very active Real Estate Investor with over 100 tenants. He has a YouTube Channel with over 50,000 subscribers, and he’s the Founder and Host of The Ontario Real Estate Conference (OREC).
Today on the Property Profits Real Estate Podcast, Matt will take you through his journey of jumpstarting into real estate, and how he quickly created enough passive income to replace his j.o.b. income. Matt is one of the first Canadian real estate “Youtubers” and has built up a subscriber list of over 50,000 (which is very impressive for a relatively small market). In this episode, Matt also shares what some of the big benefits are of having your own ‘media’ like a YouTube channel. So tune it to learn how to leverage social media through YouTube to grow your influence AND your portfolio at the same time!
Topics Covered:
01:17 – How he started as a real estate investor
02:29 – What real estate strategy started his momentum in the real estate world and what came after next
03:25 – The kind of upgrading done when you do the BURR strategy
04:48 – Relating his investment journey in real estate
08:55 – How he is leveraging YouTube channel for his real estate business
13:03 – The amazing things his YouTube channel has done for him and his real estate business
15:22 – What to take into consideration to avoid having trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Key Takeaways:
“Regardless of where you’re at in your journey, build that financial fortress of solitude.” – Matt McKeever
“A lot of real estate investors, I find, discount the value of social media and I think they’re doing themselves a great disservice.” – Matt McKeever
“At the time I was reading the book, essentially it was saying something to the effect of talk to your audience in the language they want to be spoken to. And it immediately clicked for me. The reason people love real estate is it’s so visual. You can feel it, you can smell it, you can touch it. So immediately I was like, Oh, YouTube is the perfect medium for real estate investing.” – Matt McKeever
“And to me, it’s a no brainer. When I see major companies like Netflix and Amazon and Disney investing so much money into producing online content, and it just seems like a natural fit that as a real estate investor, I should be doing the same thing.” – Matt McKeever
“Like everyone’s an adult and needs to decide exactly on which side of the wider black line they want to be or if they want to be somewhere in the gray. For me, I’m really focused on building a longterm legacy and massive business. That’s why I’ve kept a lawyer on retainer just to make sure.” – Matt McKeever

04:45 – His journey in real estate investing – from the awakening of his entrepreneurial spirit while working in start-ups to buying his first three houses in three months

16:32 – What he would’ve done differently 20 years ago
18:33 – How and where to connect with Scott
Key Takeaways:
“One thing I learned being in a startup is there’s less clarity around roles.” – Scott Zandbergen
“ In the real estate world, there is a lot of testing and learning. I’m always using a learning mindset to try different approaches, different strategies, or ways that write ads to attract tenants to my properties. I’m always tweaking, and I’m always trying different process tweaks, different ways to screen my funnel when people are coming in. I learned that in a startup for sure.” – Scott Zandbergen
“I’m not worried too much about having to compete with fellow investors because, as I keep finding, there’s a real lack of good quality rental units in that market. So, I think as long as we’re delivering the right product, we are always finding good tenants that want to pay the prices that we’re asking.” – Scott Zandbergen
“You have to have a strong level of trust with who you’re working with. And because I’ve done several now where they’ve been home runs, I feel a lot more confident that going forward, I don’t stress over it maybe as much as I did the first few that I did.” – Scott Zandbergen
“And so my advice to people, like I mentor some people informally and younger folks on this now, and I always say, just do it. Take that first step because I promise you, the world will not set on fire if you try this. It’s not super easy, but it’s not rocket science either.” – Scott Zandbergen

Learn the detailed explanation of what syndication means, know more about how Hunter invited 30 people and converted them into real estate investors after a lunch meeting, and discover the two ways to raise capital based on what it is that you offer

“Once I understood the vehicle, from my perspective, I was thinking, the return profile is somewhat similar. I get to be diversified across multiple different asset classes across the country, and I get to depend on someone else’s time, energy, and expertise. I’m going to do this a lot. And that’s really how I built my business.” – Hunter Thompson
“A syndication is pulling your money together with some other investors and getting into a much bigger deal than you probably could. – Hunter Thompson
“This is not an easy job. Anyone that thinks that it’s easy to raise capital hasn’t raised a lot of capital. You can fall on your face pretty hard. If you do it right, it can be the most lucrative, the most sought after, the most consistently needed skill in the entire real estate business. If you have the ability to consistently write seven-figure checks or eight-figure checks, you will always have a place in the commercial real estate world. It’s unbelievable, and I think people are starting to get wind of that now.” – Hunter Thompson
“Always have a really good attorney, especially if we’re going to put something on paper like write a book. It has to be an iron-clad.” – Hunter Thompson

“There’s some internal resistance on our minds. It’s fear. And the reason why we’re afraid is because we don’t have the data. We don’t have the information. We don’t know what to say and how to say it.” – Agostino Pintus
“For many people who are just starting out, first learn the lingo. Learn the language of the business. Second is build the team that goes along with it because you’re not going to do all this yourself.” – Agostino Pintus
“Learn how to sell. Because this is a sales business. And you have to get in front of people to tell them about the benefits. Tell them what it means to them.” – Agostino Pintus
“It’s not about you. No one cares about your needs. It’s about them. How can you help me? That’s what people want to know. If you go and say, I need this, and I need that. No one cares, right? No one cares about what you need.” – Agostino Pintus
“How do you protect that cash? That’s their problem. You have the solution. Your solution is to invest it into a cash-flowing asset real estate and get all the tax benefits that go along with it.” – Agostino Pintus
