FAR 202 Chicago Chicago

Expected Air Date: 10/25/18

Opening

What a day! What a City! Chicago Illinois, the third largest city in America and as you are going to hear in a few moments, the nation’s leader in Pumpkin Spice Lattes! Today we are going to focus on Chicago. We are going to speak with a leading realtor and a couple of leaders from the investor community there. And as a bonus, out bumper music is the big band song “Chicago” performed by the band named Chicago. Did you know they put out an entire Big Band album a few years ago? They surely did. It was their 18th studio album, released in 1995 and although I’m a fan of Chicago already, is one of the best things they ever did. But I digress...

Let’s visit Chicago...

Curtis, Murphy, NC, “I have a neighbor who inherited his mom’s house over in Franklin. He doesn’t have the time or money to fix it up. He says it’s not bad, but his mom lived alone the past 15 years and there are several minor things that need to be fixed. He just wants it gone - he doesn’t want to rent it out and every month the payment just comes out of the estate. The loan balance is a little more than $83,000. It’s probably worth about $110,000. This seemed like a great opportunity until I listened to a few of your shows and learned some things about the numbers. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve been wanting to do a deal, but just don’t know what can be done here. (We asked offline and the payments are $476 PITI and the fair market rent is $750. The repairs to rent ready condition are estimated at $6500. Also ten years left on loan).
Jessica, Boulder, CO, “I’m having a hard time getting my contractor to listen to me. I think it’s because I’m young and female. I can’t do anything about that. But what can I do to make him do things the way I want?”

Motivational Thoughts for the day

- It’s not about “perfect.” It’s about “effort.” And when you bring that effort every day, transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.

FAR 305 - How to Research a Neighborhood, Part 1

Flipping America

11/03/19 • 60 min

There are a number of websites you can visit to get community information when doing your research on a property. We will review 18 of them. them today coming up. Plus we are going to talk a bit about student loan debt. As a free service I’ll be sharing with you the ONE big tip to reduce or eliminate student loan debt. During this discussion I also share the best way to make money if you do not have a degree and the best way to make a lot of money if you do. Also in the news today is Rent Control. I’m likely to get on a little rant about this because rent control is not just a bad idea - it’s an evil scourge. The politicians who push for it have to either be complete morons or complicit in the evil scheme to damage or destroy urban life. And yeah, I might quit beating around the bush and tell you how I really feel about it.

In fact, I think we should schedule a show on rent controls. I’ll put that on the list.

Hey would you buy me lunch just so you could pick my brain? 32 cents per day. For less than the price of that lunch, just $9.67 per month, you can have a whole month’s worth of my brain pickings by joining the Premium membership. Just go to flippingamericanetwork.com and click on the FAN. On this show I keep a pretty narrow focus on real estate and small business development. But if you subscribe to my FAN premium blog you’ll find out what I think about a wide variety of topics. I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I’m going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests. Coming up in the next few weeks I’m going to weigh in on the immigration debate, I’ll be talking about the notion that “you shouldn’t listen to what anyone says, just be yourself.” (one of the more misguided ideas of our time). And I’m going to spend a little time talking about how we learn because we should be making that part of our life journey. I’ll tell you the books I’m reading, the thoughts I’m thinking and the way I’m taking my business.All for less than it would cost you to buy me lunch.

FAR 262 Know your Why Nots!

A lot ot talk, several books, and valuable minutes of nearly every self-help seminar conducted in the past 10 years have been devoted to the topic of “Knowing Your Why.” It’s a trend for a good reason. It’s important to know your Why and it’s important to get beyond trivial things like “money” and “the stuff you buy with money.” I value and salute the idea of “knowing your Why.” But today I’m going to balance that with not a competing, but complementary idea. “Know Your Why Not.”

Topic: Know Your “Why Not”

I mean Why Not in a couple of different ways. In the first section I’m going to talk about “Why Not” in terms of reasons why you should NOT pursue something. Then in Part Two I’ll talk about “Why Not” in the sense of, well, why not? Why not go ahead with whatever...? These principles can apply to your ideas, your life choices, your career, your education, even your life partner. Bookmark this so you can come back to it when you face a significant decision.

Why Not Part One:

It doesn’t fit YOU.
1. Requires something from you that you don’t have
2. 1. Personality type
  2. Maneuverability (think on your feet, adjust course as you go)
  3. Detail orientation
  4. Relational skills
  5. Skill set
  6. Ideation
  7. Follow-through
3. Requires something you don’t do well
  1. Sedentary vs Active
  2. Travel vs Stay home
  3. Early vs late hours
  4. Tied to a location vs Free to roam
4. Requires a life-style you don’t want
5. It’s too new (ideas you had in the past 24 hours)

FAR 261 We have that Stats Opening:

How good is that professional athlete? Well, let’s take a look at his or her stats. What’s the batting average? What’s the shooting percentage? From 3-point range? Free Throws? What’s the yards per carry average. What’s the yards after contact average? What is the average air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Be the first person to write in or call with that movie reference and I’ll send you a Starbucks gift card. What’s your miles per gallon? How long is your average daily commute? On average, how many hours do you spend watching TV every day? Statistics are all around us all the time. Today I’m going to BLOW YOUR MIND with a complete set of real estate statistics.

Yes I studied statistics in college AND in graduate school. At the graduate level my statistics course, FED 790, was one of my favorite courses. Not so much because of the content, but because the professor was one of the most delightful persons I have ever met. He managed to make a drudgery topic into a class I looked forward to each week. That’s no small feat, because when you are digging deeply into research summaries looking for statistical significance, errors in math, illogical assumptions, blah blah blah. I won’t make you go through any of that pain today. In fact, you don’t even have to do the research. BUT - if you get a copy of the show notes, you will have clickable links for every stat I’m about to throw at you.

First let’s do the news!

Feelings are Overrated

Flipping America

09/07/18 • 60 min

FAR 174 Expected Air Date: 8/6/18 Opening Ok, I’ve given away my content a bit with the title “Feelings are Overrated.” But I’m going to back it up. I’m reminded of a press conference with Coach Bobby Knight when, after a particularly difficult loss a reporter asked him how he felt. Even at the time I thought it was a dumb question, but Coach Knight didn’t disappoint. He tore into the reporter and reminded all of us what a stupid question sounds like. That hasn’t deterred reporters from asking the most obvious question over and over - “How do you feel?” First of all, the answer to that always goes without saying. The reporter asking it is not seeking news, but rather echoing the sentiment in our culture that we should be focusing on and thinking about our feelings. Today I’m going to challenge that notion and put forth the idea that while feelings are a part of our lives and should be acknowledged, 75 years of focusing on them hasn’t made anything better and possibly has made things worse. If you’re like me, and I bet you are, you see someone doing something completely senseless everyday. You also see people acting in complete disregard for everyone around them, as if the universe revolves around them. And lastly you probably see people who have a strong sense of self-esteem without any logical or apparent reason in their life why they should feel good about themselves. By focusing on our feelings we have lost our way when it comes to doing the hard stuff. A culture and a nation grows soft while contemplating our feelings. And the true tragedy is found in the belief that if we can discover how we truly feel, we will be better. The fact is, once we spend the time to discover how we truly feel, all we have done is focus on the emotion, but we haven’t progressed toward any meaningful recovery. Watch a little TV and you will no doubt see a commercial for a new wonder drug designed to address one of your emotional states. Never mind the 5 pages of potentially life-threatening side effects they read off in super speed, the extent the drug works is the extent to which is numbs that feeling somehow. In a few minutes I’m going to share with you a better way - a way to acknowledge your feelings and still get useful things done. I want to give you a hint now, but I think I’ll leave it at that. www.flippingamericanetwork.com Facebook.com/flippingamericamedia Twitter and Instagram @FlippingAmerica YouTube: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnYouTube Linkedin: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnLinkedIn We now have a profile at houzz.com for what it’s worth.

Marty Coyne, CTO of Connected Investors

Flipping America

07/15/18 • 60 min

FAR 170 Expected Air Date: 07/16/18 Opening Your network is your net worth. We’ve heard that for years. The more you connect with people in this industry, or whatever industry you happen to be in, the more good things can happen. I can’t tell you exactly how or when those results might begin to benefit your life, but I can tell you that your best success as an entrepreneur will come from the people you meet, either investors, suppliers, customers, or even your fellow competitors. Today I’m going to talk to you about a giant in our industry, Connected Investors. They are one of the largest networking sites for real estate investors in the world. On their site you can find people in your area, or people in the area where you want to be, vendors, deals, money, just about anything you need. In a few moments we are going to be joined by Marty Coyne, the Chief Technology Officer for Connected Investors. We were talking at a conference recently - yes, NETWORKING! And he told me about a new product they had released. It’s an aggregation tool that puts a ton of seller leads all into one place -- a product they call PinPoint Profits. I expressed my doubts and Marty put it on the line. He asked me to use the product and see if it didn’t work. I did, and WOW. We’ve only been using it a few days now but we are stunned by the potential. We have hundreds of new leads and are already in contact with a few of the sellers. I’ll keep you posted as we go along, but so far I’m amazed and delighted to tell you about this. But Connected Investors is a LOT more than PinPoint Profits. Marty will explain more in just a few minutes - you don’t want to miss any of this, because after we talk about CI for awhile I’m going to throw a couple of real estate technology questions his way. Wait til you hear his answers!

Flipping America 312, The Best Places to Flip

Flipping America

12/13/19 • 60 min

We are in our “Best Places” series of shows to end up the year. Last time we talked about the best places to live. I reeled off more than 100 great places to live and pointed out that the lists were different because of the different criteria used and the relative importance of those criteria. Today we are going to talk about the best places in America to flip properties. I have several lists, although a few of them got their data from WalletHub and are therefore not original. What you will see is that even in a business driven by the numbers, there is still room for some disagreement. Although I don’t know what the heck Bob Vila was thinking in his list. But you’ll hear it coming up!
