Why 2023 Is the Year to Invest in North Dallas Real Estate!

Real estate deals are often put together with options, such as the option to buy if certain conditions are met. But exactly what are they? And how can they work in your favor to lower your risk in a real estate transaction? That’s what you’ll find out in this interview!

In this episode, my long-time partner and master negotiator, Fred Bates, will answer those questions. Fred and I have done 14 syndications together building homes all over the country. We’ve had projects in  Florida, Montana, Nevada, California, and Oregon. And right now, we have another project in Oregon with a much lower risk to the investor thanks to the use of an option. You’ll hear how Fred negotiated that deal and why he’s calling it his best deal ever!

The Oregon project is an exciting deal which is open to accredited  investors until sometime next month. It provides a 12.5% preferred return with distributions expected to begin by the end of this year. Investors will also get 25% of the profits. You can find out more about our Ridgewater project in Klamath Falls, Oregon at growdevelopments.com. I’ll also be doing a webinar on this project February 29th, which you can join live or watch as a replay.

I love answering questions about Real Estate and you'll hear some of my answers in this episode of “Ask Kathy.” Questions have come from various people including followers on my Instagram account, our RealWealth website, and live events. So buckle up! I’ll be going into detail about several real estate investing topics including the kinds of opportunities you might find this year, whether it makes more sense to buy newly-built rentals instead of fixer-uppers, and how investors group together for bigger syndicated projects. I'll talk about what they are and how they are structured.

Do you have a really clear strategy for your real estate portfolio and a clear vision for where you want to go? Most of us know we need this, but maybe we haven't taken the time to figure it out or we just simply don't know how. In today’s episode, you’ll hear from someone who shares some great insights on how to create a strategy that fits your goals.

You might recognize the name Dave Meyer. As a real estate investor and VP for Data and Analytics for BiggerPockets, he’s been on the main podcast many times.  He also hosts the new BiggerPockets “On the Market” podcast, for which I also appear as co-host. And he’s the author of “Start with Strategy,” which is just being released, and before that, “By the Numbers.”

In this interview, David talks about strategy, vision, deal design, and portfolio management. Dave has done most of his investing in Colorado, but lives in Europe so he's had to learn how to invest from a distance.You can follow Dave on Instagram @thedatadeli

Are your real estate investments earning enough profit to make it all worthwhile? Do you know how much money is going out versus how much is coming back in? Do you need a better way of tracking the cash flow that you’re working so hard to create?

In this episode, you’ll hear from real estate investor, David Richter, who learned by experience that he was spending too much for the amount of money he was getting from his rental properties. So he created a system for tracking cash flow called “Profit First” to help himself and other investors understand exactly how much they were really making.

David has been investing in real estate for more than 10 years and has closed more than 850 deals. That includes wholesale, turnkey, BRRRR, owner finance, rentals, lease options, and other investing strategies. He created his Profit First cash flow system after he realized the need for tracking his cash flow. He’s also the author of: “Profit First for Real Estate Investing,” and he’s the founder of SimpleCFO Solutions to help other investors so they can “stop living from deal to deal.”

You can also find out more about how to manage your real estate portfolio, get organized, avoid taxes, and make a profit by signing up for a free RealWealth membership at realwealthshow.com. You’ll have access to hundreds of webinars, property teams in growing markets, real estate professionals to help you with your journey, and our experienced investment counselors. 

If you happen to be in the SF Bay area on Jan 20th, I'd love to meet you at our live event. You can get the details at GrowDevelopments.com under the event tab. I'll be giving my 2024 Economic forecast, plus I'll share about our newest syndication - a home development project in Klamath falls, OR, and I'll also be explaining what a syndication is.

We talk a lot about how to build a real estate portfolio so you can have more free time. But what about the process of actually stepping back from your job to capitalize on that promise of free time? When's the right time? Why now? What will you do next?

In today’s episode, you’ll hear from someone who’s had his ups and downs with real estate, but has been very successful overall. At the age of 51, he's decided that now is the time to take a break.

David Shaw has been one of our Florida property providers for many years and has helped countless RealWealth investors, but the voice in his head says it's now time to move on to new projects and goals. The great thing about his plan? It’s working in his favor! He can afford to do this because he has a cash-flowing investment portfolio! 

David is an Irish-born investor and turnkey rental home provider for more than 15 years. After years of personal investment, he’s now financially free to enjoy what we call real wealth – which is having the money and the freedom to live life on your own terms.

For David, that means spending more time with his wife and three young children. He’ll also be working on other kinds of real estate projects including one with RealWealth, which you will hear about in this interview.

If you’d like to create your own plan for financial freedom, please be sure you sign up for a RealWealth membership. It’s free to join and will provide you with lots of information on how to do that.
