The SmarterLandlording Podcast - Episode 15 – Advice From Experience To New Real Estate Investors
play

09/11/19 • 63 min

Episode 15 of the Smarter Landlording Podcast welcomes back real estate investor extraordinaire Richard Scarbrough. Focusing on my new book, Advice From Experience To New Real Estate Investors, Richard and I discuss 5 key pieces of advice from experience that every new real estate investor must learn and know. During the first part of the show, we remember why we both got into real estate investing and Richard explains why real estate is more advantageous than just about any other investment out there.

Listen in as Richard and I go over 5 key pieces of Advice From Experience taken from the book:

  • Don’t Wait to Buy Real Estate, Buy Real Estate and Wait - Learn how time is a great healer that can cover almost any newbie mistake.
  • Work On Your Business, Not In It - Change your mindset and avoid “entrepreneurial optimism.”
  • Don’t Fudge the Numbers - Learn what numbers you can and cannot control in any deal and what number you must have in any rehab budget.
  • Don't Be Too Trusting - You would think that people will do what they say, but that is not always the case. What you as a new investor must do to protect yourself.
  • On Working with Friends and Family - Doing so may sound like a good idea. But give us a listen first.

Everyone out there wants to share their advice on real estate investing. But before you take that advice, ask this question. “How many houses have you bought and sold?” If the answer is one or none, you may want to think about where that advice is coming from. If the answer is in the hundreds, like Richard and I can say, than you may want to listen to that Advice From Experience.

The SmarterLandlording Podcast - Episode 9 – Landlords and Lawsuits – With Attorney Joseph T. Kirkland
play

05/03/18 • 71 min

Episode 9 of the Smarter Landlording Podcast focuses on something every landlord fears, lawsuits. In this episode, I sit down again with attorney Joe Kirkland to delve into this interesting and sometimes troubling aspect of the landlording business. Joe has over 40 years experience practicing law and this experience will show as we get into the nuts and bolts of getting sued. Joe and I start off by discussing what exactly a lawsuit is. What do the terms plaintiff, defendant, service, arbitration and bench trial really mean? We then move on and get into six types of lawsuits that a landlord is likely to face, including negligence, liability, breach of contract, code violations, discrimination and criminal activities. No conversation about lawsuits would be complete without an examination of the methods a landlord can use to protect themselves from them. There are many methods that Joe and I describe, but we take the discussion a step further by looking at some of the costs and burdens of those methods. Are they all worth it? What is right for you? Figuring out how to seek a balance between costly and cumbersome legal structures and other less complicated measures is a major part of our discussion. Finally, we briefly discuss what you should do if you find yourself on the wrong end of a lawsuit. Should you move assets? Sell everything and move to Brazil? Tune in to find out. Give us a listen today!
