11/6/11: Multi-Family Market Musings plus a Different Look at the Rat Race

Who in their right mind would buy over $300 million of real estate in the middle of a giant recession?

And if that isn’t crazy enough, who would think that people actually need and love the rat race?

In this eclectic episode of The Real Estate Guys™ radio show, we talk to two very thought provoking guys who look at the world a little differently than your average Joe.

Behind the microphones to bare their brains for all the world to hear:

• Your thoughtful host, Robert Helms
• Bestselling author, real estate entrepreneur and Rich Dad real estate advisor to Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy
• Former White House director of economic policy, author and speaker, Todd Buchholz

First up in these serial interviews is our pal, Ken McElroy.  We love Ken because he’s both the real deal and a regular guy.

Obviously, anyone who has the chops to acquire $300 million of real estate in the midst of the worst financial meltdown in decades is probably worth listening to.  We’re very grateful that he’s willing to let us come hang out in his office and record our conversations to share with you!

HINT:  Spending time with uber successful people is a really great idea – especially when they’re willing to share their wisdom.

So grab your note pad and listen in as Ken McElroy muses on the multi-family market – where it is, where it’s headed and what he’s doing in it.  And even if you’re not ready to be a multi-family mogul, you’re sure to pick up great ideas that you can apply to your own situation.

Next, we bring you a sit down interview with former White House director of economic policy, managing director of the Tiger hedge fund, co-producer of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit Jersey Boys, author and speaker, Todd Buchholz.  Yeah, he’s a real couch potato.

How, you may ask, do we always manage to find these amazing guests?  Let’s just say we leave no stone unturned in our quest to bring you thought provoking and useful perspectives!

Now Todd’s topic really has nothing to do with real estate, but a lot to do with people and what motivates them to work.  So if you’re a person and you’re working by desire or necessity, this interview has some great thoughts for you.

Todd’s written a book called Rush – Why You Need and Love The Rat Race.  Now, while many people become real estate investors so they can “get out of the rat race”, Todd’s premise is that people actually thrive not on relaxing, but in working towards worthwhile goals.  We’re guessing he’s a type A, but it’s just a theory.

We found the interview very interesting because his book speaks to the deepest needs and motivations of people to work.  Obviously, to be happy, people need to organize their activities and finances to provide the environment which fulfill their needs and motivations.  The big question then is, what do you really, REALLY want?

So, as we approach the end of another year (can you believe it?!?), it’s a great time to contemplate your motivations, goals, plans and activities.  We think this interview will help stimulate those contemplations.

And if you want to take the whole process (warning – upcoming shameless self-promotion) to a much deeper and practical level,  you’ll want to attend our upcoming goal setting workshop.

For now, enjoy these stimulating conversations with two very bright and accomplished guys.

You’re Invited to Robert Kiyosaki’s Boardroom!

Join The Real Estate Guys™ on August 11th as we listen in live to a boardroom conversation between Robert Kiyosaki and several of his Rich Dad Advisors®.  Click here to register now!

Robert Kiyosaki and his Rich Dad Advisors® will be talking about how investors can capitalize on all the turmoil in today’s economic environment.  Gold is at all time highs.  Interest rates are at historic lows.  The US is teetering on the brink of default as the debt ceiling debate rages on.  Wouldn’t you like to know what several successful real world investors are thinking?  We do!

Robert Kiyosaki is one of our favorite financial gurus. We know he’s sometimes controversial, but we don’t get the criticisms.  He preaches the importance of education, surrounding yourself with qualified professionals, and understanding that most of the world’s financial marketing and “education” programs are designed to steer uninformed consumers into the waiting arms of brokerage houses, bankers and tax collectors.  Kiyosaki says financial education is essential to your economic well being. What’s controversial about that?

Besides, whether you agree with him or not, the fact remains that he’s the best selling financial author in the history of the planet.  That alone makes him worth listening to, since millions of people around the world are influenced by him.

As for us, we like Robert and his advisors a lot.  We’re very fortunate to get backstage with the Kiyosakis and many of their advisors.  If you’re a regular listener to The Real Estate Guys™ radio show or podcast, then you know we’ve had Rich Dad Advisors Ken McElroy and Wayne Palmer as faculty on our last two Summits.  And not only are Ken and Wayne coming back for 2012, but Robert and Kim Kiyosaki will also be on board the Summit for the entire week!

We’ve gotten great personal and professional advice from Robert and the Rich Dad Advisors that has made a positive difference in our lives. We’re big fans. We think the world will be much better off as every day working people make it a priority to expand their financial education.  It’s why we do the radio show, run our mentoring clubs, promote Rich Dad and others who believe in education, and run around collecting interviews and expert opinions from as many people as we can.  Ideas, information, strategies and perspectives from lots of sources are a great way to form your own well-crafted opinions.

We encourage you to join us and listen in to Robert, Kim and the Rich Advisors on August 11th as they talk about the pressing economic issues of today and where the opportunities are.  The event isn’t free, but it sure isn’t expensive!  It’s a very small investment in your education which has the potential to pay huge dividends.  Afterwards, drop us a note on our Feedback page and let us know what you thought.

4/17/11: Live from our 9th Annual Investor Summit at Sea!

For the ninth straight year, The Real Estate Guys™ and an energized group of committed real estate investors boarded a cruise ship for a week of powerful education, networking and fun. And as is our tradition, while on board we recorded a radio show with a live studio audience.

We call this annual event our Investor Summit at Sea™ because Summit means “the highest point of attainment or aspiration: the summit of one’s ambition; the highest state or degree”. 

More than education, the Summit is about relationships, enthusiasm, focus and family. Because of the unique environment created on a cruise ship, faculty and students often bring their families.  It’s proven to be a great opportunity to unite families around their pursuit of financial independence and prosperity.

Reflecting on their Summit experience from the Mad Hatter’s Lounge on the Carnival Miracle:

• Your host, Robert Helms
• Co-host, Russell Gray
• The Godfather of Real Estate, Bob Helms
• Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Real Estate Advisors, Ken McElroy and Wayne Palmer
• International Real Estate Developer, Beth Clifford
• Attorney, Mauricio Rauld
• Real estate investor, developer and author, David Campbell
• Financial strategist, Patrick Donohoe

After one week of focused education, networking and outrageous fun, each faculty member share their most important takeaways. Over two-thirds of the 2011 attendees, including the complete faculty and their families immediately signed up to come back in 2012 to celebrate our 10th annual Investor Summit at Sea™.  It’s hard to describe the Summit experience, as several surveys described the event as “life changing”, “incredible”, “awesome” and “over the top”.

How can a simple real estate investment conference have such a powerful impact? Tune in as our prestigious faculty tries to distrill their experience into a one hour radio show – and consider the power of just one great idea, relationship or commitment.

Did You MISS THE BOAT?

Our 9th Annual Investor Summit at Sea™ sailed away on April 4, 2011.   If you weren’t on it, you missed a lot more than the boat!

For the second straight year, Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Real Estate Advisors Ken McElroy and Wayne Palmer join The Real Estate Guys™ and our other fabulous faculty members for four full days of classes, seminars and workshops.  Plus we have three amazing days visiting beautiful Caribbean ports of call, including our traditional real estate field trip shore excursion.

But enough rubbing your nose in a missed opportunity, because we’ve already got our 2012 10th annual Investor Summit at Sea™ in the works.  And to celebrate our 10th year, we’re planning something BIG. We can’t give you the details now because we’ll be announcing it to our Summit alumni first.  But you can be next in line by getting on our 2012 Investor Summit at Sea™ Advance Notice list by completing the form below.

Join Robert & Kim Kiyosaki LIVE on March 31st, 2011

The Real Estate Guys™ just got back from an awesome visit with Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad team in Scottsdale, Arizona – home of spring training for the World Champion San Francisco Giants!  And courtesy of Rich Dad’s Real Estate Advisor (and our own Summit at  Sea™ faculty member) Ken McElroy, we got a chance to take in a few innings before heading to the Rich Dad offices to interview Robert Kiyosaki for an upcoming episode of  The Real Estate Guys™ Radio Show.

Our interviews with Robert Kiyosaki are always fun and enlightening. You can always count on Robert to tell you what he really thinks!  So watch for that interview, which you can listen to online or via iTunes.   To make sure you don’t miss it, or any of the shows, be sure to subscribe to the free podcast.

In the unlikely event you don’t know, Robert Kiyosaki is the author of mega-best seller Rich Dad Poor Dad.  We’ve had many of our listeners tell us how Robert’s teachings has changed their lives.  Some people in the conventional financial industry and media are critical of Rich Dad (and the feeling is mutual), but the success of the Rich Dad message speaks for itself.  The conventional industry fosters dependency and profits on the public’s financial ignorance.  Rich Dad is committed to empowerment through education.  We like it.

So what’s on Robert Kiyosaki’s mind right now as America struggles to recover from the Great Recession?

Robert Kiyosaki says it’s more important than ever to have a solid real world financial education. Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and Washington DC aren’t to be trusted with your hard earned money.  There are games being played at high levels that victimize the poor and middle class.  And it doesn’t matter which party is in power.  He calls it “the conspiracy of the rich”  and wrote a best selling book by the same title.  For years, he’s been saying the rich will get richer, while the ranks of the poor will swell as the middle class is pushed down. Don’t believe it?  Just read the headlines every day.

So the question isn’t whether or not it’s happening.  The question is: What are YOU going to do about it?

Kiyosaki says (and we agree) that the first and most important thing to do is to make a COMMITMENT to your own financial education.  There are a few things in life that you cannot afford to be ignorant about, and money is one of them.  Otherwise, the people who understand money will find a way to take yours.  The old adage is true:  when experience meets money, the money gets the experience and the experience gets the money.

The VERY GOOD NEWS is that YOU get to decide which side of the equation you’re on. And your success begins with education.  We support the Rich Dad organization because they are committed to education, just as we are at The Real Estate Guys™ Radio Show.  It’s that common bond that keeps us supportive of one another.

So we highly encourage YOU to be in the live or virtual audience on March 31st to discover how YOU can gain an Unfair Advantage through education.  Learn to protect and build your wealth and prosperity – even in (and because of) difficult times.

Secrets of Successful Syndication

Tired of waiting for someone else to create a job for you or give you a raise?  Take control of your own future by discovering how to make big money doing big deals through real estate syndication.

Syndication is simply putting together a group of investors and use the combined resources to take advantage of more and bigger opportunities for everyone’s benefit.  And when you’ve fully deployed your own cash and credit, syndication is a great way to keep going.

Now is one of the greatest times we’ve seen to become a real estate syndicator. Distressed properties and notes are abundant.  Assets can be purchased for pennies on the dollar.  Best of all, you’re not preying upon the unfortunate.  You’re helping clean up a big mess and playing a vital role in revitalizing the economy.

With all the liquidity being pumped into the economy, there’s still time to take advantage of low interest rates.  Longer term, many economists expect inflation – which means rising asset values (equity!), rising rents and rising interest rates.  But inflation hasn’t hit real estate yet, so there’s a window of opportunity to snap up deals.

We could go on and on about why the next 2-3 years look to be among the best ever to be a buyer.  But that’s not the point of this article and we’ve discussed it many times on the broadcast.

The real point is that syndication is a great opportunity for sharp, hardworking people to become real estate entrepreneurs. In his new book, The Sleeping Giant, best selling author and Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Advisor Ken McElroy says a new American Dream is upon us: the age of the entrepreneur.  Gone are the days of working four decades for the same company and retiring on a comfortable pension.  And the last time we looked, Social Security isn’t looking very secure.  So you need a good paying job now AND a way to build up wealth over the the long term.

If you’re unemployed, under-employed or concerned about the future of your job or company, then you might want to give serious consideration to starting your own business. And while there are many different businesses to choose from, in most all cases you’ll need to organize capital to get started.  For the average Joe, that means using up his life’s savings, home equity and all his available credit card lines – literally betting the farm on the success of the business.  That’s one way to go.

On the other hand, wouldn’t it be better if you were or raise some private investor money where neither you nor any of your investors are ruined if things don’t go as planned?  Shared risk and shared reward.  That’s all a syndication is.

Of course, that begs the question: what kind of a business?

Obviously, we like real estate – and for many reasons.  First, it’s everywhere and not overly complicated – at least compared to starting a bio-tech firm or a software company.  That makes it possible for you to get up to speed and run the business effectively pretty quickly.  But it’s also a business that your investors should be able to understand and get excited about without needing Ph.D.’s.

Most people can see there are bargains galore in real estate right now, but because the dollars are big they can’t take advantage of them…by themselves.  They don’t have enough money, time, knowledge or connections.  That’s why so many people buy mutual funds instead of picking their own stocks.  They are effectively hiring a fund manager to do the hard work of investing.

When you organize a real estate syndication, your investors are essentially hiring you to buy, manage and sell the investments  – just like a mutual fund manager.  Except instead of investing in stocks, you’re investing in real estate or notes.  Now before you freak out, remember that you’ve probably already bought or sold a property, rented a property, gotten a loan or otherwise been involved in some real estate transactions.  So you already have some experience.  And if you’re a real estate agent, loan officer, appraiser, contractor or someone who deals with the business of real estate on a daily basis, you’re way ahead of the curve.  Remember, most mutual fund managers don’t have to know how to run the companies they invest in, they just have to know how to recognize good business models and managers.

Of course, in the spirit of full disclosure, if syndication were THAT easy, then everyone would be doing it, right?  True.  However, we bet there are many very capable people out there who would be very successful syndicators, but it never occurred to them they could do it.  And like any manager, it’s a huge responsibility to be in charge of other people’s assets.  Yet, many people do a fine job for their employers every day, but  just don’t think of it as asset management.  Yet if you’re a manager of any kind, you’re responsible for someone else’s assets -  their money, their customers, their reputation, their property, their information – on a daily basis.  If you do a good job there, the odds are good you will be successful in real estate – which is quite possibly a lot less complicated than your current day job.

Still, it’s important to be properly trained. And the task of organizing an investment syndication is not one to be taken up lightly.  There are laws to follow and lots of details to be aware of.  Again, if it was brain dead easy, than everyone would be doing it.

So where can you go to learn the secrets of successful syndication? You can and should read books, take classes, and get around people who are doing it.  Much of which you can figure out on your own if you have the time and motivation.  But if the gap between where you are and where you want to be looks to big to jump on your own, we have something for you!

We’ve imposed upon our outstanding Investor Summit at Sea™ Faculty, which includes Ken McElroy and fellow Rich Dad Advisor Wayne Palmer (a very successful syndicator in his own right), plus international real estate developer Beth Clifford and attorney Mauricio Rauld, to conduct an all day training called The Secrets of Successful Syndication Seminar on April 3rd in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (you’ve been looking for a great reason to visit beautiful South Florida, right?).

Discover what it takes to organize and operate a real estate syndication business, where you can go from zero to a full time income (even part time!) in six months or less.

1/16/11: The Age of the Entrepreneur – Creating a Future and Not a Job with Ken McElroy

One of our favorite quotes comes from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky: “A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.”

Of course, a statement like that carries even more weight because the person saying it is highly qualified to have an opinion worth listening to.

So when we think about wanting to be great real estate investors, we like to listen to people who are highly qualified to tell us where they think “the opportunity puck” is going to be.  We’re very fortunate to have access to just such a person.

Do YOU want to hear what he has to say?  We thought so!

Skating across the icy landscape of a jobless economic recovery discussing where the opportunity puck is going to be:

• The Center of Attention, Host Robert Helms
• Your On the Right Wing Co-Host, Russell Gray
• Special Guest, Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Real Estate Advisor, Ken McElroy,
  

In case you don’t know, Ken is a self-made millionaire real estate entrepreneur.  He started out as a property manager, began investing, and then expanded by syndicating big deals.  While the rest of the world was crying about the how “bad” the real estate market was over the last two years, Ken was out acquiring over $300 million of properties – mostly apartment buildings.

In addition to being a successful businessman and prolific investor, Ken is the Real Estate Advisor to Robert Kiyosaki, the author of mega-best seller Rich Dad Poor Dad.  Ken is also a best selling author himself.  His latest book, The Sleeping Giant, was just recently released.

But what we’ve learned about Ken is that in addition to all of the above (and being a super nice guy!), he is a very strategic thinker.  As a big time apartment investor, he pays close attention to the jobs market.  He spends a lot of time thinking about where and why jobs are being created (or not) because the need and ability to pay for housing is directly tied to jobs.

So during a phone call to discuss our upcoming Summit at Sea™ (shameless plug) where Ken will join fellow Rich Dad Advisor Wayne Palmer as special guest faculty, Ken said he thinks he knows where the jobs puck is going. Well, THAT certainly piqued our interest, so we invited him to share his ideas with our radio audience, which is the basis for this episode.

Then, the conversation transitioned into a discussion of what someone should be doing TODAY to be ready for what’s coming tomorrow.  That led to a decision to do a special conference call with both Ken and Wayne, which we called our 2011 Conference Call to Action: Designing Your BEST YEAR EVER – Developing 20/20 Hindsight in 2011. We actually recorded and released the conference call first because we didn’t want to wait for the next radio show broadcast to get the information out.

So rather than steal any of the thunder from what Ken says in this episode, just listen in and you can hear from Ken directly.  Meanwhile, we had such a great response to the conference call, we set it up a recording you can play on demand.  If you’re interested in hearing it (if it’s still available by the time you read this), click here to access the blog post about the call.  If you miss it and want to hear what Ken and Wayne have to say about how to succeed in real estate over the next 10 years, you’ll just have to spend the week with them on the 9th Annual Summit at Sea™ (yet another shameless plug!).

Enjoy!

Your 2011 Conference Call to Action

Your Future is Calling!

“Designing Your BEST YEAR EVER – Developing 20/20 Hindsight in 2011″

Featuring Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors Ken McElroy and Wayne Palmer

It’s a brand new year and a brand new decade! To kick it off, we decided to get together with two of the most successful real estate entrepreneurs we know and ask them to share their best success tips in an exclusive conference call we want to share with you.

Let’s face it. Being successful isn’t easy or else everyone would do it. If you’ve ever suffered a setback, you know it can be hard to keep pushing forward with energy and optimism. And if you don’t have credible, supportive people helping to lift your spirits, getting up or getting going can feel nearly impossible!

After several years of good success, we’ve certainly had our fair share (or more!) of setbacks these last few years. Maybe that’s where you’re at too. But whether you’re recovering from a setback, just getting started in your pursuit of success, or are already successful want to get better, it’s always good to get tips from successful people.

So rather than clog this blog with gobs of text, we invite you to call in and listen for yourself. It’s free and easy!

To get the time, date and call in info now, simply fill out the form below and Walter in our mail room will immediately send you the details!

May 14-16, 2010: Field Trip to Dallas, TX

We just got back from our 8th Annual Investor Summit at Sea where we got to hang out with some of the biggest brains in real estate.  One of our special guest faculty members was Robert Kiyiosaki’s Rich Dad Real Estate Advisor Ken McElroy.  Ken has over 10,000 rental units and is adding more each month!  We’re not sure how many you have, but we’re guessing Ken’s a little ahead of most folks.

Market Selection Matters
Since we’re big believers in picking the market first and the finding the best deal in the right market, we naturally asked Ken which markets he likes best and why.  One of his favorites is North Texas and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  That made us feel really smart, since we’ve been fans of Dallas for the last couple of years.  Ken’s always been a die hard cash flow investor (even though he loves to force equity through re-hab), so no surprise he likes Dallas.  The GRMs / cap rates have always been pretty attractive there (if you don’t know what we just said, see Equity Happens pages 312 to 315).  But, good rents relative to purchase price is only one part of the market selection process.

One of Ken’s keys to successful market selection is jobs.  How may are there?  What kind are they?  How much do they pay?  How stable are they?  Inquiring minds want to know!  Texas is the top ranked stated for ease of doing business and has strong track record of job creation and preservation – even during the latest recession!  That alone should warrant a closer look.

Whenever we hear enough of the right people saying a market is worth looking at, we pack our bags and head to the airport to go check it out.  After we get to know some folks and do a little business, if we like the market, we invite our inner circle to join us for a field trip.  Since we’re broadcasters, our circle is pretty big.  And guess what?  You’re in it!

YOU’RE INVITED to The Real Estate Guys™ Field Trip to Dallas Texas on May 14-16, 2010!

Can’t make that one?  That’s okay!  We got so excited we decided to schedule not one, but TWO MORE dates:  June 11-13 and July 9-11. Now, you don’t have any excuse.

But, we only take one (small) bus load at a time, so SPACE IS LIMITED.  Our accountant says that’s stupid because if we did one trip with hundreds of people it would be more economical.  Maybe.  But it’s hard to see out the window with another field tripper in your lap.  And if we had more than one vehicle, someone is sure to feel left out.  Who gets to ride with the tour guide and who has to ride in the other van and read lips from across the traffic lane?  So, the accountant is overruled and we’re doing three cozy trips instead of one giant trip.  Plus we made it really affordable!

For only $699 per person (double occupancy), you get:

• Ground transportation
• Hotel accommodations
• Meals and snacks
• Notebook with market information
• All educational sessions
• A guided tour of several sub-markets and properties
• Introduction to local market experts and service providers

These items are NOT included:

• Airfare or other transportation from where you are to the Dallas airport
• Any investment properties you decide you want
• Uncomfortable, high pressure, hard-sell from desperate real estate agents.  This is an EDUCATIONAL event.
• An autographed Tony Romo Dallas Cowboys jersey (we have to draw the line somewhere)

Not sure it’ll be worthwhile?  Check out these comments from some folks who attended previously:

“I definitely recommend this. The trip gave me different insights when evaluating a market. Really enjoyed spending time with other investors and the general real estate conversations.” – Leslye S., Mission Viejo, CA

“I likely will invest in this market soon. The field trip is absolutely a must if you are interested in Dallas and have not been there. – Markus M., Detroit MI

“It is great to actually see an area that is growing and makes sense to invest in.  Also, I got a better understanding of how a property manager thinks and sees things.” – Jerry B., Turlock, CA

“As a real estate agent and regular listener of The Real Estate Guys, I learned many points when assessing an area. I would recommend this trip very strongly.” – Kathy B., Maui, HI

“Excellent source of information. Amazing! After this weekend, I have decided to go on the cruise!!!” – Peter E., Austin, TX
