Investing is more than owning real estate or assets. It’s about decision making and learning what works and what doesn’t. We believe it takes a willingness to learn, a willingness to try new things and taking action to become an expert.

Favorite Quotes

"I did 40 sales my first year. And that was the most stressful I've been in my entire life because I didn't have the real estate systems down. I have a whole bunch of CRM stuff down. But as far as transactions, coordinator, and assistants, that's pretty much all night trying to keep everything together every single day." - Matthew Kane

 

"If you want to create any kind of sales career where you can grow through the roof, you need to leverage on systems. If you don't have those systems in place, you're going to be on the hamster wheel, chasing deal after deal, close a house, become unemployed, try to find another client, and do it all over again." - Matthew Kane

 

"We're starting to do some team investments where I could essentially create a way for teammates to make additional revenue. I would leave it to the team to say, 'hey, you find a flip, you show me something where you can make a 30% return. I'll finance the flip, you manage the project. Then we'll split the profit'." - Matthew Kane

Many people shy away from making an investment in real estate because it seems too complicated and risky. The information available on the internet has become so overwhelming that investors find it confusing rather than helpful. With the fear of making bad decisions, how can people overcome the barrier to entering the world of real estate investing?

 

In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, Jay talks with Rob Thyberg about how to prevent information overload when investing in real estate for the first time. He will also offer some insight into property investment through blockchain technology and why he prefers to invest in multifamily properties.

In This Episode

"The thing that holds people back, including myself, is that aversion to risk. If you have the will to do the due diligence and you also have the will to, 'this is what I want and I'm going to make it happen', then I would say, just do it!." - Rob Thyberg

 

"For someone who doesn't have a big pot of money to invest with, real estate seems like the highest barrier to entry." - Rob Thyberg

 

"When you know you're ready, you're ready. You can poke holes in any deal and be like, 'that's the reason I'm not doing it'. But the real reason you're not doing it is probably that you're scared." - Rob Thyberg

 

"What's so great about using the VA loan is that you don't have to be rich. You don't even have to be wise. The most attractive part is how accessible it is, but you have to get over that barrier to entry. What gets me over that is speaking with real-life people who have done it, not a talking head of the internet." - Rob Thyberg

Favorite Quotes

"Tax planning is very important, especially this time of the year. Just get organized and now is the time. The holidays are going to hit and they're going to be like, 'oh it's Thanksgiving, I'll do it after. All of a sudden it's January and your estimated tax payments, the last one, midnight January 15th, and then you're scrambling and you're ripping your hair out. So just start now. You don't have to do it overnight. Just start hitting your ducks in a row, essentially." - Ann Marie

 

"For your first tax year with your investment property, get your expenses deductions and your books. If you come to a person who's doing your taxes with a hodgepodge of a mess, you're going to get charged a lot more. Know what's going on." - Ann Marie

 

"The three main topics that get audited - car, meals, and marketing. They don't want someone just throwing in a  number." - Ann Marie

 

"The first tax year is very important because you're going to understand its growing pains. There's going to be some mistakes, but then you learn and you grow." - Ann Marie

Favorite Quotes

"Two years ago, we were at 5% and that was still great, right? Like in the grand scheme, that was still amazing. Yeah, I think a historic average interest rate is a plus or minus 7%. So I feel anything five or less, it's an insane deal." - Jay Johnson and Sean Bascom

"I think a lot of companies realized that a lot of their people can work remotely. For some companies, it's savings. On the institutional side, it's going to be interesting to see what kind of absorption the office market has." - Sean Bascom

 

"In a business, your outcome is your income. But for non-profit, it's positive social change" - Sean Bascom

E54 - Changing Access to Healthcare via TeleHealth with Mike Hinkle

1h 4m · Published 21 Oct 17:59

Telehealth is quickly becoming the next frontier for patients and their doctors to collaborate. By using smartphones or tablets, more patients can now have access to quality care without leaving their home or backyard - who needs an office visit when you can just chat or call?

Having served as Command Master Chief of Naval Hospital and Navy Medical Forces Atlantic in the past, Michael Hinklehas been around hospitals and clinics and has seen how telehealth is being used more and more. As physicians and other clinicians turn to emerging technology solutions to provide more services and keep patients safe, telehealth is helping to expand access to healthcare while reducing costs at the same time.

Today on the Expert(ish) Podcast, Jay shares a fun conversation with Mike for the second time. They will talk about a variety of things, from hiring talents, Mike’s Bronco addiction, SkillMil’s telehealth services, to whiskey.

Favorite Quotes

"I started looking into telehealth when I got out and we decided to launch telehealth for veterans. You know, less than 20 bucks your whole family can have telehealth, not each person but the whole family. And a lot of times, people just need somebody to talk to. They don't need to go sit in front of a psychiatrist and psychologist and give them $300 an hour, right? They need someone to say, it's going to be okay today. And telehealth can do that." - Michael Hinkle 

 

"Your network is the most important thing you can have. There are people out there to help you do anything you want to accomplish in life. You can just reach out and someone will help you." - Michael Hinkle 

 

"My biggest mistake when starting a business, a lot of people do and they know better but they do it anyway, is you spend all your money on a great product and then you don't have any money left for marketing." - Michael Hinkle 

 

"Titles don't mean anything. It's all about skill sets. Anytime you sit down and you hire someone, you shouldn't be hiring them into a position. You should figure out what they're good at. If you're going to hire them, put them where they can succeed. You can't  judge a fish by its ability to climb a ladder." - Michael Hinkle 

 

"When we started thinking about this and we went and did our research, the one fact that sticks out in my mind is that 70% of doctor visits can be handled by telehealth." - Michael Hinkle

Favorite Quotes

"So many people don't know. Every time I talk to a veteran, they, number one, haven't even applied for disability. Number two, don't even know what their VA loan is or let alone want to use it because they're too scared. And it's just a huge tool to help yourself out for future building. Because right now, you almost have to start investing in order to retire early or retire at all at this point." - Ken Nash

 

"It's so nice to get to a point where your business is funding more investments for you and your money works for you." - Ken Nash

 

"I think property management isn't super hard to do yourself especially if you have just one or two properties. Get the hang of it. I'd rather know the process of being a property management person before I go and get a property management company." - Ken Nash

 

"Those benefits (VA loan) are given to you for a reason. If you don't use them, then you're going to be wasting out on so much time where you could have been accruing that money on appreciation value." - Ken Nash
