Managing properties, rentals and tenants can be a constant headache for investors. The tough reality many landlords face is having to deal with the consequences of tenants who don't uphold their end of the agreement. Utilities alone can be the third largest expense for apartment owners, and relying on service providers to handle billing can lead to delayed cycles, reimbursement hassles, and poor service in general.

In this episode, I’m joined by CEO and Founder at Utility Ranger, and multi-family investor and utilities guru, Tiffany Mittal. She talks about how her company allows us to easily bill our residents for utilities and other fees. We also talk about how doing it ourselves can save us time and money.

The Party’s Over: How to Keep Winning When the Market High Ends w/Dan Toback

2/1/2024
When a market has enjoyed eons of expedited growth, great deals aren’t hard to come by. The real work begins when the deal flow slows, prices compress and properties sit on the market longer. This is the position many flippers and wholesalers find themselves in, especially in markets that have seen non-stop growth and massive appreciation. It becomes really obvious that what many investors thought was their intelligence, was nothing more than a really good market. The only way to keep succeeding is to become a better version of yourself as an investor. How do you seize the opportunity in a changing market? How do you shift from a transactional business model to something more sustainable? In this episode, I’m joined by investor and coach, Dan Toback.

1/25/2024
If you heat your house and put gas in your car, you’ll know just how important oil and gas are - they literally keep the world running. What you might not know is that it's a highly desirable asset class with hundreds of millions of barrels in earning potential. As more people flee from real estate and the stock market, they are getting consistent, predictable income from mineral rights. What are some of the fundamentals that make this investment so favorable? What’s the runway on this asset class? In this episode, I’m joined by domestic energy expert and investor, Troy W. Eckard. He shares how people are getting wealthy through oil and gas. Having mineral rights is like being a triple-net landlord. There’s no cost, no exposure, zero liabilities, zero capital but you get a check every month. -Troy W. Eckard Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode - Green energy: fact or fad There are a lot of people who think the days of oil are numbered, but why is that virtually impossible? - The grocery cart test Even though the powers that be want us to believe we’re heading for a soft landing, what indicators just don’t lie about what’s really going on? - Untapped potential Why is the domestic oil and gas industry so ripe for opportunity? Guest Bio Troy started his career as a registered broker licensed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in 1985. In 1991, Troy acquired the majority interest in a 40-year-old licensed FINRA firm renamed Eckard Investment Services, Inc. Troy owned that firm until it was voluntarily closed in 2009 when brokered services were no longer part of his family’s energy business model. Over the last 37 years, Troy has had a near 100% focus on domestic energy. This includes hundreds of various joint ventures, LLCs, and special purpose vehicles ranging from seismic acquisitions, saltwater wells, domestic exploration and development projects, production acquisitions, water rights acquisitions, real estate developments, and midstream ventures. This experience has provided him with a broad knowledge of integrated expertise in energy asset management. In 2010, he elected to roll all his prior ventures into one family business now known as Eckard Enterprises, LLC. He serves as the owner, Chairman, and Manager of the firm. Over the last decade he’s built a fully integrated management team with expertise in finance, operations, land, engineering, and geology. With almost four decades of experience, his focus on domestic oil and gas puts him at the top of his class in expertise and industry knowledge. Eckard Enterprises believes that owning, developing, and managing assets is one of the safest long-term investment strategies available today. Today, the firm represents over 1,300 high-net-worth partners and is one of the industry’s leaders in mineral rights acquisitions and working interest participation.

Psychology, Not Money: Why IBC is a Such Great Tool w/Chris Kirkpatrick

1/11/2024
In every area of our lives, we can’t outsource what truly matters. We can’t outsource our faith, our health and our relationships, but for some reason we’re encouraged to outsource our wealth. No one is ever going to care about and take care of our money the way we do. No one will ever invest according to our values the way we can. No one will ever care about our descendants the way we do. That’s what makes whole life insurance so powerful. It’s a vehicle that puts you in control, and it’s the only vehicle that will ensure our wishes are carried out whether we’re around or not. It’s also the only financial tool in the world that will grow with you and help you differently at every stage of your life. Ultimately, it isn’t just a concept and a tool, it’s also a powerful mental model and self-actualization tool. What are some of the things we can do with this tool that we can’t with others? In this episode, I’m joined by author and founder of Life180, Chris Kirkpatrick. We talk about all the great things about IBC that have nothing to do with the logistics. The reason I think everyone should get whole life insurance has nothing to do with the technical stuff. It’s because that process is going to force you to become who you need to be with your money to live the life you want to live. -Chris Kirkpatrick Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -A unicorn, not a financial tool What are some of the biggest problems with IULs, and why is the industry so driven to hide them from people? -Align your money with your values Why does whole life insurance offer a level of freedom other models don’t? -The most versatile tool How can a whole life policy be shifted and modified to solve multiple problems throughout your lifetime? -A self-completing vehicle Why is whole life insurance such a powerful filter to run our money through? Guest Bio: Chris Kirkpatrick is an entrepreneur, author and the founder of Life180. He is relentlessly dedicated to helping people reach financial freedom as quickly as possible. Chris believes the financial system is broken - it is set up for the main street investor to fail. Too many people play a passive role in one of the most important areas of their life - THEIR MONEY. Chris wrote his last book, Cashflow Hacking, to show how anyone can reach financial freedom predictably in roughly a decade.

Howard Panes On the Secret to Becoming a Billionaire (It’s Not Money)

12/21/2023
The secret to wealth, impact and fulfillment isn’t to focus on the end result, but rather the process it takes to get there. You have to fall in love with digging the trench, not what you get out of the trench.

How does he maintain his mindset and high energy, positive attitude?
