Podcast #30: Anish Dave, real estate investing and wholesaling mentor

The Real Estate & Mortgage Marketing w/ Norm Podcast

There’s a LOT of money to be made in real estate; I don’t need to tell you that.

But there are far more real estate investment strategies than just buying a home and waiting for it to go up in value, purchasing a rental property that earns cash flow, or trying to flip a house for profit.

In fact, wholesaling is a best-kept-secret among seasoned real estate investors, and that’s where Anish Dave comes in. As the co-founder of BREIA, the Broward County Real Estate Investors Association in south Florida, Anish is an accomplished investor who’s turned his focus to mentoring others.

With a close affiliation to the National Real Estate Investors Association (NREIA), Anish delivers a unique mentoring and coaching model to neophyte investors. Instead of just educating their mentees and releasing them into the wild to fend for themselves, BREIA actually partners with their students, pounding the pavement, walking through homes, and even putting up 100% of the funds their students need to make these purchases.

They even work extensively with NFL players and other athletes, teaching them how to make best use of their earnings.

Anish is one of the savviest investors in the country when it comes to wholesaling, which means you buy low and sell a little less low, making potentially tens of thousands of dollars within a few hours of the purchase and at no risk.

I’ve done a lot of work with Anish, his partner Ryan Kuhlman, and their organizations, and I can tell you that these guys are the real deal and really care. They make plenty of money, but that’s not all it’s about for them.

And in this podcast, Anish also gives us some really apt analysis on where our current real estate market will turn, including a tsunami of distressed properties again, which has true investors licking their chops.

I actually met Anish years back in a crazy social situation – a bachelor party week in Nicaragua (yes, you read that correctly!) where we barely got out unscathed, minus the bachelor, who left after the first night!

Hence, that’s why I’m wearing my Nicaragua baseball jersey in this video interview with Anish.

Enjoy this podcast interview with one of the best real estate investors you’ll ever meet - and enjoy one of the funniest stories you’ll hear at the very end about a Columbian condo, a new couch, and Pornhub! (NSF).

Podcast #29: Julie Yarbrough of Empire Home Loans, the coolest mortgage broker you know 😎

Today I wanted to introduce you to the coolest mortgage broker in the biz, Julie Yarbrough.

With a past resume that includes being the President of a bank’s mortgage division, a VP role at BBVA Compass, and then the Area Manager of Land Home Financial Services, Julie is definitely a mortgage “lifer”.

But she chose the best for last, becoming a managing partner at Empire Home Loans Inc., a people-centric mortgage firm in Sacramento, CA. Julie took that leap and was tasked with the most pivotal component of the whole operation: PEOPLE!

“My strengths are found with people,” says Julie. “Coaching people, hiring people, and leading people – not just managing. So, my mandate with Empire Home Loans was always simple: to recruit the right talent, develop them, and put them in positions to succeed.”

For instance, one of Julie’s goals with Empire is to use her platform as an owner to empower other women in business, helping them shatter the glass ceiling in the real estate and mortgage fields.

That's no small feat, but if anyone can do it, it's Julie, who's graduated from some of the finest leadership, communication, and management courses in the world like the National Speakers Association NSA. She's also served as the PR Chairperson of the Sacramento CAMP Board for six years, co-chaired the Women's Round Table – a business mastermind group, and graduated with distinction from Future Leaders, CMBA through Pepperdine University.

Not only will she serve as an ambassador to loan officers who want to join the Empire Home Loans team and learn how to thoroughly outpace the competition but use her vast experience to create the best user experience in the entire mortgage industry. Anywhere. Period.

“It’s my job to establish our marketing and branding, but, most importantly, to drive a winning culture. The main reason why the three of us are such great partners is that our talents are all so different. I say culture eats strategy for breakfast ... and Anthony says a great strategy should include culture. Of course, we’re both right – as long as the client benefits!”

Podcast #31: Catching up with Doug Robinson, founder and CEO of LGCY Power ☀️

In this podcast, I interview Doug Robinson, founder and CEO of LGCY Power.

☀️ LGCY Power is now the nation’s largest private residential solar sales company, winning numerous awards and accolades as one of the fastest-growing companies, one of the best companies to work for, and many more.

☀️ But when Doug Robinson started the enterprise back in 2014, he had little more than a vision that solar and clean energy would “win” and the diligence to play the “long game” to see that through.
☀️ Together with co-founder Luke Toone, Doug has built LGCY Power into one of the nation’s premier sales firms in any industry, with a mission “to provide an extraordinary customer experience while becoming the best version of ourselves and helping others do the same.”
☀️ However, in this podcast, Doug and I talk very little about solar or even sales.
• Instead, we chat about his background, life experiences as a young man, and his LGCY “backstory,”
• How the lessons he learned playing sports and college football translate to business leadership and teamwork,
• Why his life’s work isn’t about sales or profits but empowering people to reach their potential and helping others,
• A little adversity and a lot of hard work are part of the recipe of success,
• The importance of perspective and focusing on what makes us the same – not different, • Doug’s belief in Tenacity, Talent, Timing in life,
• The salesperson’s role as a wealth builder,
• His unique notion of company culture and how he strives to implement and embrace that concept every day,
• Some of the best books, coaches, and mentors that have helped him along the way,
• And the advice he’d give himself as a young man.
☀️ Throughout this year, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Doug as a boss and also a friend, and he's become someone I really respect.
☀️ So, I’m excited to share some of his business wisdom but also his humanity in this interview.
