Episode 27! Autopilot Flipping with Rubi Tinoco!

We took a bit of a hiatus due to Dan having a beautiful little baby girl and the Holidays keeping us all busy. But, we are back with a new episode! In this episode, we discuss wholesaling with Gabriel Johnson of OfferAbode. Gabriel is a partner of Troy's. Gabriel is very new to the Charleston area, but has some real estate acquisition and disposition experience from a stint with a big investor in Winston-Salem. Gabriel and his wife moved to Chloe shortly after lockdown began in 2020 and got started with his investing career in the Lowcountry. Gabriel is licensed with Maven, as well. Gabriel has acquired almost 20 properties in just less than a year and liquidated the right away using the wholesaling strategy. Gabe and Troy really like the freedom and flexibility the wholetailing process gives you as the owner as opposed to wholesaling/assigning the deal before closing. In this episode, Gabriel explains the ins and outs of wholetailing. In addition, Gabriel is also purchasing buy and hold properties through Abode Equity and plans to continue growing the passive side of his enterprises. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troy-gandee/support

Episode 34! - Wholesaling Flipping and Starting Over with Brandon Barnes!

It's time for a mid-year market update. We focus on the Charleston market, but get a little into Chas. vs National statistics, as well. No surprise here, but the Charleston market is still hyper competitive. We're starting to see a little slow down, but we do not yet know what the market will do. We plan to do a mid-year and year end update every year. We also got some new audio equipment!

Episode 33! Mid-Year Market Update with Troy and Dan

We have another good one today. In this episode, we talk to our friend, Christopher Lam about his investing journey. Chris has a great story. He recognized early on that he would have to make himself uncomfortable to make himself comfortable. After a couple of tours oversees as a military contractor, Chris got himself to a place where he could begin investing out of state with some turnkey properties. The rest is history. Now Chris invests heavily with both flips and rentals. He has a ton of success with JVs and partnerships and has hyper-accelerated his investing recently. This should be a fantastic episode for our newer investors that don't know how to pull it off.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troy-gandee/support

Episode 28! Flipping to Freedom with Sarah and Mark Pursell!

It’s almost the end of 2020! I know most of us are excited to leave this year and all of its’ weirdness behind us, but it’s time to review our goals and set new goals for next year. 202 has been a serious outlier, so I’m sure many of us had to check expectations or pivot to make the best of it. Every year around this time, we reflect on our goals to see how we did. We also prepare ourselves to set our goals for the following year. These are habits that I have developed from listening to people like Russ Scheider, so today, Russ joins us to discuss how to set goals. We discuss SMART goals, the Wheel of Life and how to “back in to our goals”. This is a really valuable episode and we hope you will all agree. Please join us on Dec 3rd for the next REI Central event where we will talk a bit about goals. We do intend to have a slightly longer goals and mindset meeting in January that Russ will lead. I hope this episode finds you all well!

Episode 24 is exciting! Mick and Janet Kuehn of Southern Breezes Real Estate and KTI Financial join us to discuss investing in real estate notes. Notes investing has been around for a long time, but it is an underserved investing strategy in my opinion. Investing in note is an incredibly powerful way to build wealth while reducing most or all of the headaches landlords experience with rental properties. The number of approaches, niches and exit strategies with notes investing is surprising. While investing in notes does usually require a different approach than traditional investing, Mick and Janet do a great job of explaining what it is and how it works. We’ll also be working on scheduling a workshop about notes investing in the near future, so keep an eye out, if this is a strategy that interests you. If you would like to contact Mick or Janet, you can find them at https://ktifinancial.com/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troy-gandee/support
