00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.160
The common strategy everyone uses at age sixty five, the
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.759
average balance is two hundred and fifty four thousand dollars.
3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:07.919
If you give that to your financial planner, they're going
4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:09.960
to neuwitize that around three percent. You're going to get
5
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.160
around six hundred dollars a month for the rest of
6
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.519
your life. Now, you can't retire on Social Security plus
7
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.359
six hundred a month, so that means that forty year
8
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.359
strategy is not good. Meanwhile, the average equity in the
9
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.480
average single family home in our country right now is
10
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.160
three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. What that means
11
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.280
is that a forty year intentional retirement strategy, your single
12
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.879
family home beats it. Which is why, at age sixty five,
13
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.399
I think the most common thought that a retiree is
14
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.439
having is five more homes over the course last forty years.
15
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.280
I'd probably worth a couple million dollars, and all of
16
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.079
a sudden, I be in a good situation instead of
17
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:42.840
a bad situation.
18
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.560
Welcome to the Radical Responsibility Podcast. I'm doctor Fleet Mal
19

Meant to be. Let's get started.
26
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.959
What if transformation isn't just about thinking differently but feeling differently.
27
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.319
Science shows us that true change happens when we align
28
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.879
not just our minds, but also the neural networks in
29
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.519
our hearts and guts. This heart mind connection is the
30
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.840
key to deeper healing, resilience, and expanded awareness. That's why

Break free from the limits of traditional financial planning and
48

instead create wealth that's predictable, scalable, and transformational. Hey, I'm
49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.159
doctor Fleet Mall. In this episode, I sit down with
50
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.360
real estate mogul and visionary entrepreneur Chris Krohn. From humble
51
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.400
beginnings as a telemarketer to building a real estate empire
52
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.520
that outperforms conventional retirement strategies, developed a unique systematic model
53
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.520
that's changing the way people think about wealth creation. We
54
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.639
dive deep into his strategic approach to real estate investing,
55
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.439
how he finds high growth markets, leverages other people's money,
56
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.560
and builds powerful cultures within his organization. Chris shares why
57
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.800
mindset is the real key to scaling any business and
58
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:26.240
how daily visualization aligned with decisive action can create exponential outcomes.
59
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.919
Whether you're scaling your company, pivoting towards passive income, or
60
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.000
looking for a mindset edge. This conversation will open up
61
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.120
a whole new playbook for what's possible. Let's dive in.
62
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.520
My name is doctor Flee Maul, your co host for
63
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.919
the session, and I'm really thrilled to be here today
64
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:41.759
with Chris Crohn.
65
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.280
Welcome. I appreciate it.
66
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.000
I'm excited to be here, and hopefully I can be
67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.159
useful and share some beautiful knowledge with everybody.
68
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.080
Let's start off with a little bit of how you
69
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.719
got into this entrepreneurship, Bain and becoming an expert real
70
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.479
estate investor.
71
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.080
Where'd you start? How'd you get to there?
72
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.520
I know it's difficult to encapsulate that in a couple
73
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.639
of minutes, but we'd like to let people know who
74
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.360
you are so they can identify with you and their journey.
75
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.919
And yeah, so I for me, and I'll start in college.
76
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.039
I actually had that German immigrant father that said you
77
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.879
need a college degree to go anywhere in life. And
78
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.759
while I was there, I also was putting myself through
79
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.479
college with this telemarketing job.
80
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.959
And in that first year at that job.
81
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.360
While in college, I must have talked to a couple
82
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.680
thousand people that all were now in their fifties and sixties.
83
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.639
They had built their four o one k's, their iras,
84
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.160
they had been financially responsible.
85
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.800
They tried to pay out their houses.
86
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.439
And most of them with maybe thirty years down the
87
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.399
road since college, with a decade left to go, they
88
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.920
were falling heavily short financially. And that's when I started
89
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.879
realizing that I'm just getting trapped in someone else's maze.
90
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.720
And so I decided to do something fleet very, very different.
91
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.920
And I found a couple of mentors that had each
92
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.040
made you know, millions, tens of millions of dollars in
93
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.360
the game of real estate. I asked them to mentor me.
94
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.600
One of them turned me down, two of them said yes.
95
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.160
And while I was.
96
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.519
In college, I learned how to acquire real estate with
97
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.199
no money, no credit, and by the t time I graduated,
98
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.079
I had twenty five homes. They were paying me a modest,
99
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.839
you know, passive income of twelve thousand dollars a month,
100
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639
and it meant that graduating college, I didn't actually need
101
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.000
to get a job, and so I just kept doing
102
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.720
more of that, and then it became one hundred homes
103
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.439
and it became a thousand homes, and then it became
104
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.079
sixty five hundred homes, and basically learned how to scale
105
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.879
single family investment and get it to consistently produce an
106
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.839
ROI seventy five times higher than a four to one
107
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.199
K over a twenty year span. So we basically averaged
108
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.399
sixty percent a year on our money by investing in
109
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.439
real estate as opposed to the chaos of the stock market.
110
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.800
And I kind of built, you know, my social media
111
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.680
millions of followers. Now I just help people basically in
112
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.160
that niche learn how to master single family investing to
113
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.120
basically create alternatives for retirement.
114
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.920
Wow. Well, you were very fortunate to have that. And
115
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.439
you know, telemarketing often sounds like a terrible job, but
116
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.000
I think you'd learn a lot in telemarketing, but none
117
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.519
unless you had that great insight because of the audience
118
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.519
you were reaching out to to tell them marketing and
119
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.639
seeing the limitations of that approach to life and success.
120
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.759
It really ports it on your partner. You had two
121
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.480
mentors that said yes, So you know, you've built two businesses.
122
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.480
One you built your own real estate, entire real estate portfolio,
123
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.600
and then you started teaching others to do it. So,
124
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.600
in some ways two different businesses. You scaled there and
125
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.240
on today our focus is scaling, and you know, there's
126
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.120
launching a business and there's beginning to grow your business.
127
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.800
But scaling really takes us into an entirely new game
128
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.920
where we can meet a lot of new challenges, whether
129
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.079
it's growing our team or seeing profits squeezed, or just
130
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.720
a complexity. You know, we have to become a different
131
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.879
person to run a business at that level than somebody
132
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.480
is who's running it at a smaller scale. So I wondered,
133
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.879
what did you see as some of the challenges and
134
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.439
scaling your business as it became more complex both maybe
135
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.920
in both stages, the one of building your real estate portfolio,
136
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.120
it's such a high level, but then turning around and
137
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.120
building the business of teaching others to do so.
138
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah.
139
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.839
So I discovered in the game of real estate that
140
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.040
if I could make my project homogenous, that it would
141
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.279
allow me to basically create a duplicatable system. And so
142
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.839
I decided to drill down hard on a niche. I
143
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.399
don't actually believe that single family investing is smart. When
144
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:12.879
I say it, I mean that if you buy a
145
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.439
three bedroom, two bathroom minimum new home built one of
146
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.160
the top five markets of the United States, and you
147
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.519
purchase at thirty percent below the median. If you can
148
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.519
meet all that criteria and hold that home for five
149
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.879
to seven years, that's where I would essentially squeeze out
150
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.480
this average sixty percent annual ROI that really kicks trash
151
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.439
out of four to one k's IRA savings or other investments.
152
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.319
And so because I was able to turn it into
153
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.720
a system, if you were to evaluate my last couple
154
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.639
thousand deals, you'd say, well, Chris, they all look identical.
155
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.480
They all look the same.
156
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.639
There's strength in that the box that my buybox is
157
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.079
so narrow, and what that does is that gives me scale.
158
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.040
And so the last two billion dollars in real estate transactions,
159
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.959
all the product looks the same, acts the same, behaves
160
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.319
the same, and as a result, so is the ROI.
161
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.000
That's different than what most people don't in real life.
162
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.439
State they're looking for this cute you know, Airbnb, and
163
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.360
then we're going to do this development project. Then we're
164
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.319
going to do this multifamily. And you never really develop
165
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.800
mastery because you're not specializing, because you're doing a little
166
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.199
bit of everything and what I really learned from my
167
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.040
mentors is that's how to fail. So what I did
168
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.240
is I said, well, let's pick a niche where we
169
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.480
can make the most money for the least time effort risk,
170
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.839
and then we're going to exploit it and then we're
171
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.560
going to run hard with it. Well, that's systems thinking,
172
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.680
not very different when it really came into my educational
173
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.560
business of showing people. I don't actually like to consider
174
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.519
myself a real estate guru or an educator because those
175
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.120
that can't do teach for me. It's the opposite. I
176
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.279
buy real estate every single day with a team of
177
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.240
two hundred experts. What I do different is I leverage
178
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.840
my social media and go out there and say, hey,
179
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.440
if you've always wanted to make money in real estate,
180
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.480
but you're not confident that you're going to put in
181
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240
your ten thousand Malcolm glad Well hours, then partner with
182
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.679
me and I'll just do it for you. And that,
183
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.679
again is another system. So instead of me teaching you
184
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.360
saying well, I hope you figure it out and I
185
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.159
hope you'll implement it the way I'm showing you, I
186
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.879
just say, eh, we're going to dummy proof this. If
187
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.240
partner with the right person, then everything becomes a known
188
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.480
in this algorithm of ones and zeros, which means it's
189
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.519
a return to predictability. I don't think you can scale
190
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.399
a company ultimately unless you have total predictability.
191
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.960
Fascinating. So just so I understand your business small elements.
192
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.639
So you're actually buying single family homes and you're holding
193
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.919
them for a period of time. Now in the meantime,
194
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.679
I assume you're renting them out, so you have a
195
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.639
whole property management, rental agency business everything.
196
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.120
Yeah, and so if you look at the United States,
197
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.120
it's made above three hundred and twenty four major cities,
198
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.360
but only five of them. The population's booming, We've gotten
199
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.159
inversion on the supply demand scale. The homes are still
200
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.600
deeply affordable for income in the area. There's ten macroeconomics
201
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.279
I dial in before I can select a market. So
202
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.320
one of my markets, for example, is Orlando, Florida, where
203
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.440
in the next five years they're expecting a seventeen percent
204
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.440
population growth, and I buy in a specific area, brand
205
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.759
new bill with the highest appreciation that we have in
206
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.840
the United States. With a half a million people leaving
207
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.960
California and six hundred thousand leaving New York last year.
208
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.039
The majority of those are flooding into Florida. What we're
209
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.480
doing is we're capitalizing on that major supply demand curve.
210
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.879
Issue, and you buy within a certain price range.
211
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.720
Yeah, everything is in a really narrow box. My average
212
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.399
houses purchased between two hundred and two hundred and fifty
213
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:24.279
thousand dollars.
214
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.360
Wow, these are in those markets. Those are almost starter homes.
215
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:27.960
Yeah.
216
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.159
So if you take a look at all real estate,
217
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.320
condos won't appreciate, or a townhome own appreciate, or a
218
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.200
two bit on one bath won't appreciate as much as
219
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.799
a starter home. Meanwhile, starter homes also outperform luxury or
220
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.360
anything mid grade. So yeah, it's a very specific niche.
221
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.399
I know there was a big crash in the luxury
222
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.679
home market in Florida, especially back in two thousand and eight.
223
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.440
Yeah, sure was.
224
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.399
So that seems to make a lot of sense. So
225
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.360
you mentioned two hundred experts, you have two hundred employees,
226
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.240
or you have a network of best works. As you
227
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.320
built this, I'm sure you must have a lot of
228
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.840
people fighting the homes you're going to buy, and there
229
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.159
must be a big operation to make sure you're getting
230
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.679
that it's that narrow niche.
231
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.080
Well, this actually comes back to the conversation to scale.
232
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.080
Some are employees, some are ten ninety nine, some are realtors,
233
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.919
some are third parties. I used to run everything in house,
234
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.440
and I found that scale was easier when I could
235
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.399
actually tap into existing companies and fore go making money
236
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.080
on those fees, but have efficiency and accountability that was
237
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.519
harder to produce internally.
238
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.799
Oh, quite interesting. So you have agents that are actually
239
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.720
doing the purchases for you, then yep.
240
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:33.120
Yeah.
241
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.759
So basically these two hundred experts range from portfolio managers
242
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.759
internally that are, you know, interfacing with my partners that
243
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.320
find me online that want to produce these sixty percent returns.
244
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.919
I mean, the reality is if I can help someone
245
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.399
buy one rental twenty years later, you can turn that
246
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.440
into a multimillion dollar portfolio. They're not getting that in
247
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.080
pensions or four one case. So I'm really an alternative,
248
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.399
but it's a done for you option. So I need
249
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.919
portfolio managers. And then of course there's realtors and loan
250
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.480
officers and title agents. I've got to have people that
251
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.360
can fix up the homes, do the title work, et cetera.
252
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.879
Well, what were some of the challenges you met along
253
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.720
the way. I mean, I assume that as you begin
254
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.799
to unfold this strategy and so forth, there must have
255
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.200
been some bumps in the road, and also personally in
256
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.600
terms of not burning out the sustainability that it's taken
257
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.720
for youth to datums and get where you are today.
258
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.480
Could you talk a little bit about that journey.
259
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.360
Well, at first, my real estate was very local. I
260
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.360
live in Utah, so I was building all my real
261
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.639
estate portfolio Utah. So I learned after the two thousand
262
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.039
and eight crash that there's a lot of other great markets.
263
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.320
I went into one market that was a nightmare. It
264
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.480
was a blue state, and I was licking my wound
265
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.639
on a million dollars.
266
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:36.000
That I lost.
267
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.919
But then I hit it hard with the right markets.
268
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.679
Phoenix and Vegas are to the markets that I bought
269
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.799
thousands of homes in those Yeah, And you know, within
270
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.240
five years, I made my investors over one hundred million dollars.
271
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.679
And so we made mistakes and did things well. And
272
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.080
what we did is we ultimately learned about macroeconomics and
273
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.440
data as opposed to hunches and local markets. You know,
274
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.159
when they say in real estate, there's an adage location.
275
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.759
Well, well, if you're.
276
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.200
Looking locally, you're looking at the cities around you, but
277
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.360
if you're looking nationwide, you have a chance to really
278
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.200
poach a handful of markets where you're going to outperform
279
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:09.840
everyone else.
280
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.600
Well, it sounds like in your business model and that
281
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.919
you're also providing other investors, there's a lot of leverage
282
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.919
because you've picked the best niche with the most leverage
283
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.559
the investment. And also the idea of recurring revenue can
284
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.679
be very important to a business. And often when we
285
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.080
say recurring revenue, people think about subscription programs and membership
286
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.480
programs and so forth. But any system that you know,
287
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.039
if you do that system every day is going to
288
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.440
produce x amount of revenue is recurring revenues. So I
289
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.720
wonder if you talk about that in terms of how
290
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.600
you built your business and being able to count on
291
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.960
that recurring revenue stream.
292
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.919
Yeah, part of my recurring revenue just comes from the
293
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.240
way that I buy real estate. I've got partners that
294
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.720
will set up an LLC, put money down, qualify with
295
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.399
the bank. That's kind of an old school methodology that
296
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.799
increass you maximum leverage. So maximum ROLI. But a lot
297
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.559
of my partners are looking for convenience and they don't
298
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.200
want to apply their credit or they have reasons why
299
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.120
they don't want to go through that criteria.
300
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.879
So I put together real estate funds.
301
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.399
I currently have more than a dozen different real estate funds.
302
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.519
Partners will put their money in, will buy real estate.
303
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.200
That way, use the same strategy, except we go in
304
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.879
and buy cash and then I use DSCR loans to
305
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.320
pull the money out. Well, these funds have management fees,
306
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.840
and those management fees are paid out every single month.
307
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.559
They're reoccurring.
308
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.320
And so in my reoccurring model, I get millions of
309
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.320
views every week on my social media. People you know,
310
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.360
every week will find me, they'll decide to become partners
311
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.759
with me, they'll invest in my funds. Those funds are
312
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.399
ever expanding. You know, in the next year, we're going
313
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.159
to take on another one hundred million dollars in real estate. Well,
314
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.240
when you add your fees to that, you know, which
315
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.919
we disclosed to all of our partners, that produces our
316
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.759
reoccurring revenue. And you know, if I keep doing this
317
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.840
for the next five years, their reoccurring revenue is over
318
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.600
a million dollars a month. So there's a model, and
319
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.480
I think that is an important part of saying, well,
320
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.519
your company has expenses. You don't want to start the
321
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.200
first every month starting over saying we got to generate
322
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.720
new revenue all over again. If you have some of
323
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.879
it reoccurring, obviously, that's going to lighten your load.
324
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.200
And make things a lot easier. Yeah.
325
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.440
Absolutely, So again to kind of dig it into your
326
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.120
business model here. So you're buying star homes, you're writing
327
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.840
them out and holding them for a period of time,
328
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.600
and it's a pretty leveraged investment. So do these cash flow?
329
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.720
Is that part of your revenue stream on the rental
330
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.240
or you just want to break even with them?
331
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.240
And you may definitely do not want to break.
332
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.759
Even, Like that would be a really really that'd be
333
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.879
a crass model for sure. Now, part of the reoccurring
334
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.000
revenue is that there's absolutely I don't think we pay
335
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.840
a ton of attention to it in the beginning, because
336
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.000
you know, if I help a basic investor by one,
337
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.480
two or three homes in five years, we want to
338
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.679
double it. So let's say we start with two in
339
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.000
five years, we want four, and then five more years,
340
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.120
we want eight. And five more years we want, you know,
341
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.320
sixteen and over twenty years, someone can build a portfolio
342
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.120
of fifteen to thirty homes. Well, the cash flow in
343
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.039
fifteen to thirty.
344
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.120
Homes is actually pretty exciting.
345
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.159
It's like, well, if I'm making four hundred dollars or
346
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.919
five hundred dollars a home and I've got twenty homes,
347
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.519
you know, now I have a residual income that allows
348
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.159
me to have more of the retirement that I want.
349
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.759
And one percent of your rental income is then dedicated
350
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.759
to property management and the rental agency whoever's doing the
351
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.320
job of keeping them rented and managing the property.
352
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.879
You know, it's pretty typical for property managers to charge
353
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.720
ten percent, but because they view me as one client
354
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.440
with two thousand partners, what I do is I get
355
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.639
everything in bulk. So when I open up a new area,
356
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.360
I negotiate with that manager to do it at six
357
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.200
percent instead of ten percent. And anytime I can drive
358
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.519
those fees down, that's a forty percent fee reduction that's
359
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.399
pretty significant. By doing that, that also boosts my ROI
360
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:37.960
because there's a lot of people that look at my
361
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.919
report over my longitudinal study over the last decade and
362
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.480
they see the on the last twenty one and thirty
363
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.799
rentals that we're producing sixty point sixty five percent of
364
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.399
your on our money. They want to know how do
365
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.720
you do that? And part of that is you got
366
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.720
to get your fees down, and part of that is
367
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.480
the game of real estate and bulk will always create
368
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.360
that driving force.
369
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.639
So, you know, the housing market can be a bit volatile.
370
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.159
There's some probably long term trends and some crashes and
371
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.600
so forth. And then there's a rental market as well,
372
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.920
so you're exposed to both markets in terms of the
373
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.759
pricing on homes and then rental prices. Now, I don't
374
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.119
know how closely real estate prices and rental prices track.
375
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.559
I'm sure they parallel, but there might be some way
376
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.359
they differentiate. But I'm curious about that. How the rental
377
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.079
market impacts your business, and then how changes in the
378
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.680
housing market impact your business.
379
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.440
Yeah, two things on that, you know.
380
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.799
The first one is that the rental market will usually
381
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.200
be about eighteen months delayed.
382
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.880
Behind the housing market.
383
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.240
So let's say that the housing market comes you know,
384
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.319
crashes or comes down, or we have a change in
385
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.920
supply and demand, the rental market will come in tow,
386
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.319
and so that meant that real estate for the last
387
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.640
couple of years has had some crushed cash flows. Under
388
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.359
this administration, Donald Trump is saying to make real estate
389
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.480
affordable again. He wants to get rates back down to
390
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.359
three percent. If he achieves that, that's going to create
391
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.480
a You know, as rental rates are rising in people refinance,
392
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.359
you're not going to see cash flows of five six
393
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.279
seventy eight hundred dollars on a property, so they do
394
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.240
move and you have to play a long game to
395
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.680
play that one well. But as far as the market crashing,
396
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.880
the stock market crashes every seven years. Real estate is
397
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.359
usually every fifteen years. But it's very predictable and it's
398
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.519
not all at once. It's really about supplying demand. The
399
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.759
two thousand and eight crash happened because we had too
400
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.799
much real estate and not enough buyers, because a home
401
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.400
is only worth what someone's willing to pay. But in
402
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.440
this economy that we're in, historically at this point we
403
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.160
never recovered from eight We're currently missing four point five
404
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.720
million single family homes. If we have every builder on
405
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.440
the streets building at maximum capacity in nine years, it's
406
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.440
possible to break even, which is when the next crash
407
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.680
could be. So single family is a space. There's a
408
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.480
reason why billions of dollars from hedge funds are pouring
409
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.119
into the purchasing of single family homes is because for
410
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.880
the next decade it's going to actually be a very
411
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.599
safe market.
412
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.599
So you know, in thock market and buying, owning securities
413
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.920
and so forth, equities and so forth. Generally, the conservative,
414
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.519
even not sole conservative, is buy and hold and asset
415
00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.759
allocation and so forth.
416
00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.960
Being a day trader and.
417
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.279
Trying to actively beat the market day to day is
418
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.559
very risky. You better make it your time job, better
419
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.200
be pretty sure. But it sounds like in some ways
420
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.079
you're doing that with real estate, but in a longer
421
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.559
game by choosing the right markets to be in at
422
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.160
the right time. And hadn't that be data driven?
423
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.240
Yeah, it is true.
424
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.079
You know, the stock market when you take a look
425
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.240
at its EBB and flow, real estate moves much more predictably,
426
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.920
moves very different. I can drill down to a zip
427
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.880
code and I can know what our supply demand looks
428
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.319
like in that zip code, so I know when it's
429
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.720
time to pull out after X number of time. And
430
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.440
so we're basically going to sit in that market, and
431
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.160
we're going to ride that market, and then when that
432
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.759
market has basically saturated, we're going to pull.
433
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:35.960
Out of it.
434
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.279
And that's part of how we create predictability in that game.
435
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.519
It's actually a very simple economic engine to be able
436
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.680
to predict. In two thousand and eight, I owned a
437
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.119
lot of real estate, over one hundred homes.
438
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.480
I didn't lose a single one of them.
439
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.920
Because part of the strategy is about insulation. When we
440
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.160
talk about how do you scale well, it means that
441
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.599
when the stock market goes down, the real estate market
442
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.200
actually increases. For example, thirty your averages on four one
443
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.400
ks and iras sit between four and five percent. Most
444
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.839
people don't know that with inflation at three or four percent,
445
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.640
you're pretty close to a break even real estate, you
446
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.240
get the game of leverage. Leverage means the bank will
447
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.519
put up eighty percent of the money, so you're going
448
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.640
to whatever the appreciation is. If I go to Florida
449
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.680
where my appreciation is ten percent, then I can multiply
450
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.880
it by five and now making fifty percent. That's how
451
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.680
I'm targeting these sixty percent numbers on average over the
452
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.960
last decade. Is we're able to actually ride that market,
453
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.880
predict that market, and because it moves so slow, it's
454
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.559
very easy to move in and out of it. And
455
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.680
then we're also thirty percent below the median. You know,
456
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.599
the national mediing right now is around four hundred and
457
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.279
thirty grand. My average pursus price is you know, probably
458
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.319
around that two thirty two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
459
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.400
price point. That insulation means that if the market were
460
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.119
to drop, a million dollar house might get cut in half,
461
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.440
a five hundred thousand more house might get cut down
462
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.640
thirty five percent, but a two hundred and fifty thousand
463
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.759
dollar house is going to experience a little bump while
464
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.960
rents go up and your cash flow increases.
465
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:54.839
Wow.
466
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.200
So in terms of leverage, you know what in the
467
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.079
two thousand and eight crash, a lot of people got
468
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.440
who really bad goes. Hey, homes are over leveraged, and
469
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.000
no market is giving all these no money down loans
470
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.680
and all thatzy stuff. So I mean, do you put
471
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.440
standard twenty percent down and use eighty percent of the
472
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.200
bank's money, or because of your size, you try to
473
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.079
get better deals with the banks and get it away.
474
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.319
I don't want a better deal than that.
475
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.720
If they said you can only put ten percent down
476
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.799
or five percent, that actually breaks my model.
477
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:22.559
Yeah, so there's rules.
478
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.559
That we abide by that actually creates some safety.
479
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:25.720
You know, it's really weird.
480
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.720
Warren Buffett and his book Snowball, talks about how he
481
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.759
became so wealthy and one of the most important principles
482
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.640
in the book he talks about his margin of error
483
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.480
and he also calls it a safety margin. So, for example,
484
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.680
if I could buy a piece of real estate for
485
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.279
fifty percent off, that's a lot of safety compared to
486
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.160
buying it at market because the market could drop fifty
487
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.279
percent before I'm at risk for losing my first dollar. Well,
488
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.160
very similarly in the game of real estate, because I
489
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.599
have a sixty percent average annual ROI, a lot has
490
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.839
to go wrong for me to even cut that number
491
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:00.079
in half. So the goal is to make it as
492
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.799
profitable as possible in the safe as zone possible. Because
493
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.200
what that ends up doing is it gives us safety.
494
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.599
I love that make it as profitable as possible and
495
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.839
as safe as zone possible. That sounds like a formula
496
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.960
for success for sure. So you also mentioned I think
497
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.559
at the outset that you're buying these homes, it's this
498
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.279
kind of starter home price range, and you're getting them
499
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.039
more or less around thirty your targets buying homes at
500
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.519
thirty percent under market value?
501
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.200
Was that correct?
502
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.880
Not under market value? Thirty percent below the median?
503
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.119
So the median.
504
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.440
Yeah, So for predictability, if we're going to get at
505
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.000
thirty percent under market, those exist, you can't really do
506
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.240
them in bulk, and every home you lose systematization because
507
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.200
now these homes have to go through individual appraisal, repair,
508
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.119
et cetera. As opposed to me going into a market
509
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.000
and buying five hundred homes and I can order carpet
510
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.480
from China by the role and have everything consistent or
511
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.039
that word homogeneous again with the way that we do
512
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.000
colors and repairs and everything that lends itself to the
513
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.920
systems theory that we leverage in the game.
514
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.200
And you mentioned before you're buying newer homes mostly.
515
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.680
I would say seventy percent of my inventory is five
516
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.920
years old or less, most of them being completely brand.
517
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.400
New, right, So you're not doing a lot of renovation.
518
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.759
Nope, But in certain markets, you know, like one of
519
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:16.000
the markets that I'm in is Memphis, that's one of
520
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.079
my top five. I buy in the area of what's
521
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.480
called Blue Oval City. It's where Ford has built a
522
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.799
twelve billion dollar plant which produced eleven thousand new jobs,
523
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.920
and they're missing about already seventeen thousand single family homes
524
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.799
in that submarket. What that means is that average home
525
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.359
that I buy for two hundred thousand dollars in the
526
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.200
next five years is probably going to be going for
527
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.759
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, you know, according to
528
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.480
our data and information. And so that's an example of
529
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.640
drilling down into a market you know that has huge
530
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.640
potential because of a specific economic problem that it's facing.
531
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.319
Wow.
532
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.319
Wow Yeah, and operating at the scale you do with
533
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.240
the team you have, you're able to take that data
534
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.480
to have an approach and really find those sweet spots.
535
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.680
That's amazing. So you imagine Warren Bedfort before in his
536
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.240
Magy for Wealth Building. Let's talk about wealth strategy for
537
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.160
a moment, because even for the individual, and of course
538
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.319
you know you started your career because you're doing all
539
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.839
this telemarketing, you're connecting with these people who have done
540
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.839
all the right things and they're still struggling as they're
541
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.799
approaching retirement, you didn't want to do that. But in general,
542
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.920
for a lot of people, the only way to wealth
543
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.160
for the middle class on our countries be to oma
544
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.000
home and over time it appreciates and if you bought
545
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.480
it at the right time and you write the market,
546
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.279
maybe you do all right. Right, So real estate has
547
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.559
long been considered a wealth building strategy, even at the
548
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.319
lower level. Right, So how do you see that? And
549
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.400
I'm thinking both in terms of people maybe really want
550
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.400
to get into the real estate game and the way
551
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.279
you are, or people who want to invest with somebody
552
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.880
like you, but also thinking of entrepreneurs who are in
553
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.200
other industries or you know, completely different businesses, but you
554
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.039
know it's good to diversify your income sources. Maybe they
555
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.400
want to do the real estate thing on the side,
556
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.000
is a wealth building strategy. They're doing well in their business,
557
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.680
they want to start siphoning off some of that profit
558
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.240
and some of theircutions into something else. And so as
559
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.680
a wealth building strategy, could you talk about real estate?
560
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:05.279
Yeah?
561
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.400
So four to one K the common strategy everyone uses.
562
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.079
At age sixty five, the average balance is two hundred
563
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.480
and fifty four thousand dollars. If you give that to
564
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.359
your financial planner, they're going to nuitize that around three percent.
565
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.880
You're going to get around six hundred dollars a month
566
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:20.839
for the rest of your life. Now, you can't retire
567
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:23.359
on Social Security plus six hundred a month, so that
568
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.960
means that forty year strategy is not good. Meanwhile, the
569
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:29.880
average equity in the average single family home in our
570
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.400
country right now is three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars.
571
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.519
What that means is that a forty year intentional retirement
572
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.640
strategy your single family home beats it like it's crazy,
573
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.839
Which is why, at age sixty five, I think the
574
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.759
most common thought that a retire rate is having is
575
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.359
if I had just bought a few more homes, if
576
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.720
I'd bought five more homes over the course last forty years,
577
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.000
I'd probably be worth a couple million dollars, and all
578
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.759
of a sudden, I'd be in a good situation instead
579
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.200
of a bad situation. Well, Stanley Thomas wrote a book
580
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.200
The Millionaire next Door, and he evaluated what created the
581
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
most millionaires in this country, and hands down, the one
582
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.519
thing that these what i'll call accidental millionaires did, because
583
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.480
they weren't accidentally millionaires through investing in Tesla and four
584
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.880
to one case in the stock market is they made
585
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.160
one choice different than everybody else in their life. As
586
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:22.640
it came time to grow and graduate to a bigger
587
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.680
house or downsize, they chose not to sell the house
588
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.440
and put gains towards the new one. They just kept
589
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:30.799
it as a rental. And so the average person over
590
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.799
forty years will probably move or live in three, four
591
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.440
or five homes. If someone simply made the decision I'm
592
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.799
just going to keep every one of them and turn
593
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.200
it into a rental. By eighty to sixty five, you're
594
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.319
gonna be worth a couple of million dollars. And so
595
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:43.240
that's just one little thing. Now I take that to
596
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.039
an extreme and say, now let's do it intentionally. Now
597
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:48.680
let's do it on purpose. For example, if the average
598
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.559
American has three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars of
599
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.400
equity in their home, they probably can get a home
600
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.519
equity alant of credit for free for two hundred grand.
601
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:57.640
I could show them how to buy two or three
602
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.160
homes in these markets. And if they just and had
603
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:04.000
it growing at sixty percent, that what home would turn
604
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.319
into six million dollars for them twenty years from now.
605
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.480
So maybe not very impressive for someone who's sixty years old,
606
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.160
but if someone's listening that is twenty thirty or forty,
607
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:16.960
it's like, I got news for you. If you have
608
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.519
a home with equity in it, don't pay off your house,
609
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.759
not until you have a passive income that meets your
610
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:25.559
financial needs. And so this goes very against the grain
611
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.799
of maybe like Dave Ramsey, no debt, get out of
612
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:29.119
debt as an entrepreneur.
613
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.839
It's the opposite.
614
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:32.640
It's actually, create as much good debt as possible to
615
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.039
make money for you, and then your good debts can
616
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.240
you know, pay for all your stuff cash, pay off
617
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.079
that house eventially.
618
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.359
Well, in terms of the idea of using other people's
619
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.440
money or using the bank's money, that seems like a
620
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.640
pretty solid approach to using the bank's money. Now it's
621
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.000
a lower risk approach anyway, to using the bank's money. Yeah,
622
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.240
absolutely So, just to distinguish your approach here a bit,
623
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.880
and not to cast this version on other models necessarily,
624
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.799
but you know, there's a whole thing of flipping, the
625
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.359
whole world of flipping, and that's another and not your model.
626
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.960
And then there's the whole notion of being able to
627
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.599
buy real estate with no money down and move on
628
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.759
the next thing and no money out of pocket, these ideas,
629
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:10.119
how do you view all that?
630
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.559
Well, first of all, I love all of it, you know,
631
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:14.400
because I do have two companies. One is I just
632
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.720
buy real estate for people and build their portfolios and
633
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.880
we're partners. And then I have some of my you know,
634
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:21.480
some of my other folks that are coming in to
635
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.079
me and saying, hey, Chris, I don't have equity in
636
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.880
a home, I don't have a four o kid, I
637
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.119
don't have wealth to transfer into a portfolio. I'm kind
638
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.599
of starting like you did, Chris, with nothing. And I say, well,
639
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.119
then you need to coach and a mentor, just like
640
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:35.480
I had in the beginning that knows how to do
641
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.039
these no money done strategies. After all, thirty three hundred
642
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:39.640
dollars is all it took for me to create a
643
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:42.880
one point six million dollar net worth as a college grad.
644
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.480
And so there are people that will get in touch
645
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.599
with my company and they'll say, hey, either I do
646
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.000
have money and I would like for you to help
647
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.519
me invest it. Let's partner up and create these great returns,
648
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.279
and others will say I don't got the dough, but
649
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:57.160
will you teach me how to flip and wholesale or
650
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.680
lease option or do these other strategies. That's how I
651
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.039
build all my wealth in the beginning. So for example,
652
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.359
you know, one of my coaches on my team, he's
653
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:08.079
done over seven hundred no money down deals. So my
654
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.640
team are we're experts, highly qualified, really good at what
655
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.640
we do. And so for those that just say, hey,
656
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.039
I'm starting behind on the resource game, It's like, great,
657
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:17.920
then we can coach you and show you how to
658
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:18.720
do these deals too.
659
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.640
So I know you have you know, kind of coaching
660
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.960
and you have do it for you and you have
661
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.559
different and you have your funds and your real estate funds.
662
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.279
You know, for the entrepreneur who's pretty focused on building
663
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.359
his or her business right, and that takes a lot
664
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.960
of bandwidth, you know, how much can you get into
665
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.519
something like what you're doing? I mean, how much do
666
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.279
you have time do you have to day to kind
667
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.480
of really master in that game, because you know, being
668
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.599
a kind of a diletant and dabbling and stuff can
669
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.279
be a failure.
670
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.599
Right.
671
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.559
Yeah, Well, here's my rule of thumb for people. I
672
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.640
always try to help people to delineate whether they should
673
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.920
become a real estate investor that is active or a
674
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.000
passive real estate investor. And my rule of thumb is simple.
675
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.640
Malcolm Gladwell says you need ten thousand hours to master something.
676
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.440
If you're a do it yourselfer, you better be signing
677
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.440
up for the welcome glad Well ten thousand hours, which
678
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:04.599
means that it's really a job. It's not passive, and
679
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:06.480
it's not on the side. When I talk to my
680
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.319
partners and I ask them, it's like, well, which are
681
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.519
you Those that are like do it for me? What
682
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.480
they do is I say, well, good, then partner with
683
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.960
someone like me. I'll do one hundred percent of the
684
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.200
work and then we'll split the profits equally. And that's
685
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.759
actually a model fleet that I use in every area
686
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.039
of my life. So I own companies in all sorts
687
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.920
of industries. I own franchises, restaurants, all sorts of different
688
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.160
types of companies, you know, mineral and.
689
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.119
Gold and oil.
690
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.119
And when I look at all these companies in my
691
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:36.000
tech plays, I never allowed myself to venture into a
692
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.880
market I didn't understand without partnering with somebody. So my
693
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.519
rule of thumb is simple. If you want one hundred
694
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.839
percent of the gains. If you want the whole grape,
695
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:46.559
then you need to pay your ten thousand Malcolm Glawow hours.
696
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:48.799
If you are going into an area you don't have
697
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.519
expertise in, then instead go for a slice of watermelon.
698
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.359
And by the way, a slice of watermelon is usually a.
699
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:55.440
Lot bigger than a grape.
700
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.640
The watermelon is an analogy for finding an expert that
701
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.960
doesn't just have ten thousand hours, has one hundred thousand.
702
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.319
Me and my team, I've got one hundred thousand Malcolm
703
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.799
Gladial hours in the game of single family. And so
704
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.720
it's really simple. If you're not going to pay the
705
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.559
price for the expertise, then partner with an expert. If
706
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.319
you're willing to pay the price for expertise, then get
707
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:17.119
a great mentor and learn how to do it yourself.
708
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.119
Wow, that is incredibly sound advice. So I'm just soaking
709
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.359
this in myself, both for audience and personally. So there
710
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.799
are many wealth teachers that talk about one way or
711
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.559
another we have like this internal blueprint, or it should
712
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.920
be like a thermostat. We inherit it from our family,
713
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.160
from our culture, and you know, we kind of have
714
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.559
permission or we deserve to earn up to hear right now,
715
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.240
we shouldn't earn less than us heater And we're in
716
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.759
there right and if we started the less, you know,
717
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.799
the heater comes on the fire under our butt. We
718
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.000
get busy, we get back into that zone. But if
719
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.000
we start making too much, we get uncomfortable. We somehow
720
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.799
don't have the mindset cultural permission.
721
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:54.640
There's a barometer that's been set.
722
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.079
Yeah, it's been set, and we have that blueprint in
723
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.000
us and you know, one of the real strategies are
724
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.079
change is not just been going and changed the blueprint.
725
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.400
So I wonder in your experience, was there a pathway
726
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.160
to you being able to imagine that you could kind
727
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.480
of create the wealth for yourself that you have created
728
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.759
and now creating for others that you know from your
729
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.640
upbringing and what it took to imagine yourself. Can you
730
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.640
give yourself permission or what I just have the vision
731
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:19.440
to be able to create wealth in this way?
732
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.200
Two things on that. The first one is there's two
733
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.480
types of books someone should always be reading. The first
734
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:26.759
one is how to go deeper in the trade that
735
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.640
you're mastering. Because we all have a Malcolm Gladwell something
736
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.880
that we're mastering, and you should read what other thought
737
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.200
leaders say about that on your journey. Personal development books,
738
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.920
anything that deals with psychology or expansion of self. You
739
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.079
will always get a huge ROI in every aspect of
740
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.359
your life by reading these books. I never stop reading
741
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.720
those books now. Aside from that, when I was young
742
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.200
and getting started out, I made one crucial decision that
743
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.319
really affected me for the rest of my life. When
744
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.480
I was a telemarketer. That first year I made eighteen
745
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.160
thousand dollars, was more money than I had ever made
746
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.759
before fleet but as a college kid, it wasn't enough
747
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.000
to keep my head above water eater, And so what
748
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.160
I ended up doing was I said, I want to
749
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:09.319
manifest a goal for this next year. This telemarketing job
750
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.559
had a commission component, there was a sales component. I
751
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.599
sucked at it, and I said, you know, if I'm
752
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.160
going to be here, I might as well get good
753
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:18.119
at this. And since the average American at the time
754
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:21.240
makes forty four thousand dollars a year and I only
755
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.599
made eighteen thousand last year, I'm going to choose to
756
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.000
believe that I can double my income.
757
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:27.240
I believe I'm at least average. I don't know. I'm
758
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.039
just young and dumb.
759
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.440
I don't really know, but I believe I'm at least average. Well,
760
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.680
I spent that entire year no different than an olympian
761
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.680
that meditates and practices what they want in their head.
762
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.240
Stanford did a study and they said that half the
763
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.079
Stanford team actually practiced mentally their free throw shots, the
764
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.920
other half actually did it, and who had the greatest
765
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.160
actual performance increase at the end of the season. It
766
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.200
was those who had practiced mentally where they could practice perfect. Well,
767
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.200
every day I practiced, I double may incme, I double
768
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.880
maan come, I double may income, I double may incme.
769
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.720
At the end of the year, I made fifty thousand dollars.
770
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.000
I was in a job, in a situation where it
771
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.599
was possible, and I did it. And because I had
772
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.000
three hundred and sixty five days of believing that I
773
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.639
could that, when it came to the next year, I said, well,
774
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.280
I should just do that again, because.
775
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.440
I'm so habituated.
776
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:14.159
In other words, we don't really get what we believe
777
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.400
we can get. We get what we believe in. We
778
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.519
practice we can get and so I practice flawlessly for
779
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:21.119
another three hundred and sixty five days, and I made
780
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.440
one hundred grand the next year, and the year after
781
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.800
I made a quarter million. The year after I made
782
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:27.199
a half a million. And what I learned is that
783
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.519
I get what I believe in practice, and so that's
784
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.000
actually become a huge part of my personal financial and
785
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:36.480
overall psychology, which is in the late way. And I
786
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:40.599
are taught that you can create something in your mind
787
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:44.000
so real, like a placebo, where if you can allow
788
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:48.039
yourself to feel it energetically and emotionally, it's no less
789
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.360
real in the mind than reality. In other words, your
790
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.519
dream state and your actual state. The mind can't tell
791
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:56.159
the difference, and the subconscious mind is ultimately what's determining
792
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.679
what we perceive in the real world, which is why
793
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.960
everyone needs to become aware of the limiting beliefs and
794
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.039
stop saying things that counteract what they want, and every
795
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.400
day have mental practice time. I do it in meditation,
796
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.559
where I practice what I want everything I've never had
797
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.239
I practice here. For example, since January fifteenth, two thousand
798
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.760
and nine, I have practiced that I'm a billionaire. I'm
799
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.719
in actuality, not a billionaire yet, but I have a
800
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.280
path and I know how I'm going to get there,
801
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.119
and I think I'm pretty sure when it's going to happen.
802
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:25.880
But I've been practicing it since two thousand and nine,
803
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.480
which means I've been at it for sixteen years. But
804
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.840
here inside internally, when I become a billionaire, it won't
805
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:34.840
shock me because I've been practicing it for such a
806
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:35.400
long time.
807
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.199
Well, that's incredibly sage advice. You know, you're kind of
808
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.320
reverencing the power of the mind there and what some
809
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.480
people reference as manifesting or manifestation. And the problem with
810
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.840
some of the manifestation world is they get the belief,
811
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.079
they get the mind part, but they forget about the
812
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.599
practice part, and that you have to practice and practice
813
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.400
and practice, and that's what actually changes on Neural architecture
814
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.280
changes energy and changes our relationship to the world. It
815
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:00.280
takes that practice.
816
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.800
Well, and not just practice, just taking action. Because the
817
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.559
reason why we go internally is to develop a frequency.
818
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.280
When I see myself with the object of my desire,
819
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.760
when I see myself feeling it no less real than
820
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:13.599
when it's in the real world, then I'm generating a frequency.
821
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.000
That frequency will allow me to meet people, have conversations.
822
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:18.440
But I got to take action. It's like, Wow, that's
823
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.760
really weird. I' met this master of my meeting philt
824
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.639
inspired to talk to this person. No, I got nervous
825
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:24.719
and I didn't. Well, you defied the frequency that you've
826
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.039
been practicing. We generate that frequency so that we can
827
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.840
go find the resonating matching frequency, and that's what, in hindsight,
828
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:33.800
will show us the breadcrumbs to get what we want.
829
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:34.599
Yeah.
830
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.679
Absolutely, and generally, I mean, if we're really practicing, probably
831
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.800
the actions are going to follow. But you're absolutely right.
832
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.360
I mean, just visualizing it again and again, there's got
833
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.960
a Rolls Royce is going to show up in your drive.
834
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.960
Where is that going to happen if you're not taking
835
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.159
the actions they create the wealth which you can buy
836
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.320
a Rolls Royce. Absolutely, So what about you know, I
837
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.960
think a lot of entrepreneurs, even if they're early to
838
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.119
market with a new idea, or they're trying to start
839
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:58.119
what market to be in, or you know, they worry
840
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.800
a lot about the competition. And I get the sense
841
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.719
when I was listening to I mean, I know there's
842
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.239
a lot of big real estate people out there, and
843
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.800
teachers of the real estate game and so forth. But
844
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.599
it sounds like you've narrowed in our approach where I
845
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.159
doubt if you're that worried about colle I could be wrong.
846
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.280
Maybe they have competitors in the same niche you are,
847
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:18.360
But it sounds to me like you've found your way
848
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.480
into a niche where you don't have a lot of competition.
849
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:21.239
Yeah.
850
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.519
Actually there's a secret there, which is that if you
851
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:25.800
will niche down to be in a place that no
852
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.119
one else is. And by the way, when you look
853
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.239
at my niche, it's like scaling single family. In my industry,
854
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.920
everyone says crazy, can't be done, impossible, And that was
855
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.599
the clue that if I could solve the impossible, that
856
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.159
I could build something meaningful there. So I actually selected
857
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.800
it knowing that everyone said it couldn't be done. And
858
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.519
the reality is, if you can solve the impossible that
859
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:49.360
no one else is willing to, then you get to
860
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.199
reap a disproportionate amount of reward for doing that.
861
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.000
So that was by design. Wow.
862
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.159
So you mentioned before that you have employees, You have
863
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.880
used contractors, you also work with agencies and various kinds
864
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:04.519
and so forth. But I assume within your company you
865
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.199
do have some employees, So I'm curious about the culture
866
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.239
and how important that is to you, the kind of
867
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.559
company you have and the company you lead, and your
868
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:14.000
people and the culture you're creating, and even the people
869
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:16.760
you partner with. I'm talking about your investors necessarily, but
870
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.280
the agencies and so forth that you partner with, whether
871
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.039
there's an alignment of culture there, and how that has
872
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:24.559
to do with scale and creating culture that's scalable as
873
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.280
well as the systems and the repeatable processes that are scalable.
874
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.840
If you don't have a designed culture, the people you
875
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:34.960
hire will create it for you. And anytime you put
876
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.679
a mix of good humans together, you're going to get
877
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.239
a mixed culture. I think it was important to have
878
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.199
a good culture a decade ago. Today it's especially with
879
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:48.559
bringing together Gen Z and Millennials. They expect it and
880
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:52.039
they require it. And so my company has a culture committee.
881
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.559
My CEO leads up exactly who we are who or
882
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:56.719
not what the culture is. I think part of that
883
00:38:56.800 --> 00:39:00.360
culture is really defining precisely who we are and then
884
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.119
we stick to it, and then you let go of
885
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.119
anyone that actually doesn't meet that culture. And the stronger
886
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:06.840
the culture, the harder it is to be a part
887
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.000
of it, the more powerful that culture will be. And
888
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.960
so culture is actually a really important finnamic inside our company.
889
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.199
When culture has been weak, drama has been high, and
890
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.960
drama is the most expensive, invisible a line item on
891
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.320
the balance sheet. And so culture is what you do
892
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:25.559
to combat drama.
893
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:29.079
Yeah, my early consulting career for almost two decades was
894
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:33.039
all by helping companies eliminate the drama inside the organizations
895
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:33.840
and created no drama.
896
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:35.159
If you don't know who you are and you don't
897
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:36.960
know what you stand for, then you get drama as
898
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.440
a byproduct, as a tax saying you haven't invested in
899
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:41.000
your culture.
900
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:45.280
Absolutely, So what were your strategies and your steps as
901
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.679
you've built your business and scaled to actually create that culture?
902
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:52.480
I mean, you embodied something yourself and you learn that,
903
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.159
you follow the bread crumbs of other success, and you
904
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.199
got a sense of what a high performing cult, no drama,
905
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.679
a highly accountable, high performing culture would be. How did
906
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.440
you then build that into your team and your company.
907
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.679
First of all, there's great companies out there, No rules,
908
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.559
the story of Netflix. Cynics got a great book out
909
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:14.039
there on the Infinite Game. There's fantastic books to read
910
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.559
that will help you witness the cultures of others. And
911
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:18.480
I think it's important to be inspired by other great
912
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:21.880
cultures before you can sit down and then design your culture.
913
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.639
The culture shouldn't be too complicated, you know. I think
914
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:27.599
our culture has eight tenants, which is probably just even
915
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.440
a couple too many, But in our it doesn't matter
916
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.400
if you have one unless you actually teach it and
917
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.039
reward it. So in our company, in our weekly meetings,
918
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.679
our monthly meetings, and our quarterly meetings, culture is always
919
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:42.199
brought in to what we do. And then the other
920
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.599
part of culture is if you don't enforce it, then
921
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.039
everyone understands that it's fake, it's not real, it's lip service,
922
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:49.320
and then no one will treat.
923
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:49.639
It as real.
924
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.159
And so that's how I'd go about finding one, building
925
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:55.079
one and getting inspired by the ones, and then whatever
926
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:56.920
you do, sit down, design it and then.
927
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:58.119
Enforce it whatever it is.
928
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.639
That also means hardest decisions they've ever had to make
929
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.119
regarding culture fleet is that sometimes you hire someone that's
930
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.760
really competent, but they don't fit the culture. If they're
931
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:11.239
really good at what they do, fire them. Competency cannot
932
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:15.039
make up for a non culture fit, and so I
933
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.880
expect competency, but that's not how you get hired on.
934
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:20.480
In fact, even if you read a you know, when
935
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.199
we do our job postings, we always also post the
936
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.840
culture so that before your first meeting, they've already been
937
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:28.239
exposed to it, where they can already pre select in
938
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.000
or out on whether or not they even agree with
939
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.360
what the company believes in. But that's been some of
940
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:35.400
the most important decisions that we've made, is firing really
941
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.559
competent people because they weren't a cultural fit, because there
942
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.760
will always be damaging costs to the company when you
943
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:40.079
do that.
944
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.119
Yeah. In fact, in some ways, the most toxic employees
945
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:44.800
are highly competent, highly.
946
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.000
Yes every time culture.
947
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:48.639
And that's why we wrestle. We're like, how can I
948
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:50.519
let this person go? They're so dang good at what
949
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.239
they do, And I'm like, yeah, but if they're not
950
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.599
a cultural fit, then you've made your choice and you
951
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:55.920
will be rewarded with drama.
952
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:56.480
Yeah.
953
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:57.960
At the other end of the scale, you have the
954
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.880
cultural fit, the person everybody likes, they just don't get
955
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.239
the job.
956
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.559
If you got the person that is like like the
957
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.519
mask at for culture and has no competency, you also mishired. Yeah,
958
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.239
and Tony say says it best, which is.
959
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:11.840
You know, higher, slow, fire fast, right?
960
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.960
Yeah, great, so much there. So were there any steps
961
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:18.559
along the way when you were small? I assume you
962
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.760
kind of start off by yourself. Obviously you were a
963
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.960
solopreneur doing real estate investing, and then you probably started
964
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:25.440
to build a bit of a team around you.
965
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:26.039
Of some kind.
966
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.440
Was there any time that you got the potential for
967
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.719
scale or the specter of scale as you saw your
968
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.920
business expanding, you saw the possibilities that fear set in
969
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:37.440
that who am I to run this big company?
970
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:38.360
Or how am I going to?
971
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.239
You know, like, was there any stages of fear you
972
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.039
had to break through?
973
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.400
I think I did one thing opposite the most.
974
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.199
The reason why a lot of entrepreneurs don't scale is
975
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:50.320
because they have trust issues. They really have this mindset
976
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.280
that they're the best person for every job in their company.
977
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:56.000
And when you believe that, when you hire people, you
978
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.320
end up hiring people down that you can control. And
979
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.320
you think you're small because you're saving money and it
980
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:03.679
looks good on the P and L, but what you're
981
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.559
getting are people that are not free thinkers when the
982
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:07.880
reality is there's people out there that.
983
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.960
Can do the job better than you.
984
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:11.719
And so I had to break free that mindset because
985
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:13.559
in the beginning, I had this belief that if you
986
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.320
want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
987
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:17.760
And my dad taught me that as a German carpenter
988
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.280
running his own company. And I remember just being a
989
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.599
teenager hanging out with my dad, and I remember I
990
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.400
would also answer the phones in the morning, and all
991
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:26.039
sorts of people wanted to work with my dad.
992
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:27.000
And I remember when.
993
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:28.679
I said, Dad, we should scale, we should I didn't
994
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:30.320
use those words as sixteen, but I said, Dad, we
995
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.400
should expand the business.
996
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:32.079
We should grow it.
997
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:34.079
We should hire another team, to have two teams going
998
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:35.639
at the same time. And my dad said, I'll never
999
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.920
forget it. He said, if you want something done right,
1000
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:39.960
you do it yourself. I did it his way until
1001
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:42.679
I was twenty five years old, until one day the
1002
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.280
revelation hit me. I'm going crazy. I'm doing everything. I'm
1003
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.840
doing too much. I'm a full time student and I've
1004
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:50.199
got a full time job, and I have a full
1005
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.000
time business and I never see my brand new wife.
1006
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:52.960
And I was going crazy.
1007
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.800
And I said, maybe Dad was wrong, and I remember
1008
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:57.880
when I wrote this down, if you want something done right,
1009
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:03.800
don't do it yourself, and that became my motto for
1010
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.639
everything in business and scale. And a couple summers ago,
1011
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.239
is hanging out with a billionaire friend of mine sould
1012
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:11.639
this company for one point six billion, and I remember
1013
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.559
asking them, David like, what's your job now in your company? Says,
1014
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.079
if I do it right, I don't have one. And
1015
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:21.079
what he was exemplifying in the highest order was if
1016
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.599
you want something done right, find the very best people.
1017
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:25.599
So Richard Branson says the same thing. Surround yourself with
1018
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.159
the very best people and get out of your way,
1019
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:27.840
get out of.
1020
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:28.400
Their way, right.
1021
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.679
Yeah. I think there's two aspects of that. One is
1022
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.000
hiring exactly that I hire the very best people and
1023
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:35.320
get out of their way, and surround yourself with people
1024
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.239
who are smart in you because there's a lot of
1025
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:38.880
things about your business that there's a lot of people
1026
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:40.800
that can do a lot better than we can. But
1027
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.000
you know, especially early on in the business, a lot
1028
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.960
of entrepreneurs were perfectionists and at least after some aspect
1029
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.320
of our product or our business. But I love what
1030
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.639
Dan Martell says, even in that aspect. If you got
1031
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.559
somebody that can do it eighty percent as good as you,
1032
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.920
that's good up to keep scaling and move forward.
1033
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.199
Right, It is true, and also that's part of just
1034
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:01.280
actually duplicatable scale. Henry forb was a early mentor of mine,
1035
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.880
just in books, who invented this, you know, the conveyor
1036
00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:06.880
belt for the model T. The dude didn't know how
1037
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.599
to fabric gate a card, didn't understand combustible engine, but
1038
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.559
he had a vision. And what he did is he
1039
00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:14.559
surrounded himself with the smartest people. And that became really
1040
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.760
inspiring to me. Never be threatened by someone who's better
1041
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.559
than you at a job. In fact, be the leader
1042
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.639
that finds those people and empowers those people.
1043
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.960
I picked up on some you said a few minutes ago.
1044
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.280
You mentioned you're CEO. So you're not the CEO in
1045
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.000
your company more, which means you've done really good job
1046
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:33.719
of replacing yourself. So what is your role now? I
1047
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:35.400
don't know whether you're a chairman of the board. I'm
1048
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.199
sure you're not just a passive investor in your own company.
1049
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.119
But you have a CEO, you have a whole team.
1050
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:43.559
They probably have a CEO and so forth. So what
1051
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:44.559
is your role now.
1052
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.519
Yeah, there's a book, my favorite business book that I
1053
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:51.159
would recommend to every entrepreneur called The Clothes Eli Goldenrod
1054
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.239
has this great narrative where he talks about what happens
1055
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:56.679
when you're an operator in the business versus an owner
1056
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.400
who can work on the business. In the business, your
1057
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:03.719
brain and energy just goes towards optimization and expansion. But
1058
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.159
when you get out of the game and you can
1059
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:09.400
work on the business, you can make the big moves
1060
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:11.960
that will give you double growth, that will allow you
1061
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.119
to really make the smartest moves. And so I always
1062
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:17.159
tell the entrepreneur, like, what you're striving for is to
1063
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:17.840
get to the point.
1064
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:19.239
Where you're an owner, not an operator.
1065
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.800
And I was at a Tony Robbins event six years ago.
1066
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:24.960
I was the first intervention he did. I'd paid one
1067
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.599
hundred thousand dollars to go to this financial event and
1068
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:29.800
he comes up to me and for an hour just
1069
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.239
brates me standing in front of a room of entrepreneurs.
1070
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:34.159
But by the time it was.
1071
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.440
Done, at tears and run down my face. I was
1072
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.559
passionately excited about what like understanding what my problem was.
1073
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.840
And when it was all over, I called up my
1074
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.840
director marketing and said, on Monday, you're going to give
1075
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.440
your welcome speeches the brand new CEO. I'm stepping down,
1076
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.639
I'm out. I'm empowering you. I want you to do this.
1077
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.039
That year, he grew my company four hundred percent. I
1078
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.519
just had to get out of the way. So my
1079
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.119
best idea is when you ask what my role is today, Yes,
1080
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.840
I sit on my monthly board meeting, and then I
1081
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.760
am the social media talent for my company, which I
1082
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.679
do you know, that's one day a week. And outside
1083
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:11.079
of that, I'm now just looking at strategic relationships and opportunities.
1084
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:13.159
But I don't do anything inside the business.
1085
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.760
Wow, fabulous. That's quite a success story there and everything
1086
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.440
that I mean, this has just been so illuminating, Chris.
1087
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:21.559
So we're coming near the end of our time, Chris.
1088
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:23.039
But I wanted to give you up Tony. I think
1089
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:25.519
you have a really cool free opting gift bro audience
1090
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:27.960
so they can learn more about your work and so forth.
1091
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.039
So could you talk about that.
1092
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.880
Yeah, I believe that the most valuable gift I could
1093
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.280
give someone as a fresh perspective from my point of
1094
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.440
view of what they could do to financially better their life.
1095
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.079
And I call it a game plan, and I offer
1096
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:41.760

1097

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.160
The common strategy everyone uses at age sixty five, the
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.759
average balance is two hundred and fifty four thousand dollars.
3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:07.919
If you give that to your financial planner, they're going
4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:09.960
to neuwitize that around three percent. You're going to get
5
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.160
around six hundred dollars a month for the rest of
6
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.519
your life. Now, you can't retire on Social Security plus
7
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.359
six hundred a month, so that means that forty year
8
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.359
strategy is not good. Meanwhile, the average equity in the
9
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.480
average single family home in our country right now is
10
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.160
three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. What that means
11
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.280
is that a forty year intentional retirement strategy, your single
12
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.879
family home beats it. Which is why, at age sixty five,
13
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.399
I think the most common thought that a retiree is
14
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.439
having is five more homes over the course last forty years.
15
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.280
I'd probably worth a couple million dollars, and all of
16
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.079
a sudden, I be in a good situation instead of
17
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:42.840
a bad situation.
18
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.560
Welcome to the Radical Responsibility Podcast. I'm doctor Fleet Mal
19
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.159

20
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.920
authentic transformation. In each episode, I'll bring you insights from

Meant to be. Let's get started.
26
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.959
What if transformation isn't just about thinking differently but feeling differently.
27
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.319
Science shows us that true change happens when we align
28
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.879
not just our minds, but also the neural networks in
29
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.519
our hearts and guts. This heart mind connection is the
30
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.840

49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.159
doctor Fleet Mall. In this episode, I sit down with
50
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.360
real estate mogul and visionary entrepreneur Chris Krohn. From humble
51
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.400
beginnings as a telemarketer to building a real estate empire
52
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.520
that outperforms conventional retirement strategies, developed a unique systematic model
53
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.520
that's changing the way people think about wealth creation. We
54
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.639
dive deep into his strategic approach to real estate investing,
55
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.439
how he finds high growth markets, leverages other people's money,
56
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.560
and builds powerful cultures within his organization. Chris shares why
57
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.800
mindset is the real key to scaling any business and
58
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:26.240
how daily visualization aligned with decisive action can create exponential outcomes.
59
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.919
Whether you're scaling your company, pivoting towards passive income, or
60
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.000
looking for a mindset edge. This conversation will open up
61
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.120
a whole new playbook for what's possible. Let's dive in.
62
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.520
My name is doctor Flee Maul, your co host for
63
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.919
the session, and I'm really thrilled to be here today
64
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:41.759
with Chris Crohn.
65
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.280
Welcome. I appreciate it.
66
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.000
I'm excited to be here, and hopefully I can be
67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.159
useful and share some beautiful knowledge with everybody.
68
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.080
Let's start off with a little bit of how you
69
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.719
got into this entrepreneurship, Bain and becoming an expert real
70
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.479
estate investor.
71
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.080
Where'd you start? How'd you get to there?
72
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.520
I know it's difficult to encapsulate that in a couple
73
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.639
of minutes, but we'd like to let people know who
74
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.360
you are so they can identify with you and their journey.
75
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.919
And yeah, so I for me, and I'll start in college.
76
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.039
I actually had that German immigrant father that said you
77
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.879
need a college degree to go anywhere in life. And
78
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.759
while I was there, I also was putting myself through
79
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.479
college with this telemarketing job.
80
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.959
And in that first year at that job.
81
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.360
While in college, I must have talked to a couple
82
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.680
thousand people that all were now in their fifties and sixties.
83
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.639
They had built their four o one k's, their iras,
84
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.160
they had been financially responsible.
85
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.800
They tried to pay out their houses.
86
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.439
And most of them with maybe thirty years down the
87
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.399
road since college, with a decade left to go, they
88
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.920
were falling heavily short financially. And that's when I started
89
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.879
realizing that I'm just getting trapped in someone else's maze.
90
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.720
And so I decided to do something fleet very, very different.
91
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.920
And I found a couple of mentors that had each
92
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.040
made you know, millions, tens of millions of dollars in
93
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.360
the game of real estate. I asked them to mentor me.
94
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.600
One of them turned me down, two of them said yes.
95
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.160
And while I was.
96
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.519
In college, I learned how to acquire real estate with
97
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.199
no money, no credit, and by the t time I graduated,
98
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.079
I had twenty five homes. They were paying me a modest,
99
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.839
you know, passive income of twelve thousand dollars a month,
100
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639
and it meant that graduating college, I didn't actually need
101
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.000
to get a job, and so I just kept doing
102
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.720
more of that, and then it became one hundred homes
103
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.439
and it became a thousand homes, and then it became
104
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.079
sixty five hundred homes, and basically learned how to scale
105
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.879
single family investment and get it to consistently produce an
106
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.839
ROI seventy five times higher than a four to one
107
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.199
K over a twenty year span. So we basically averaged
108
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.399
sixty percent a year on our money by investing in
109
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.439
real estate as opposed to the chaos of the stock market.
110
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.800
And I kind of built, you know, my social media
111
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.680
millions of followers. Now I just help people basically in
112
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.160
that niche learn how to master single family investing to
113
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.120
basically create alternatives for retirement.
114
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.920
Wow. Well, you were very fortunate to have that. And
115
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.439
you know, telemarketing often sounds like a terrible job, but
116
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.000
I think you'd learn a lot in telemarketing, but none
117
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.519
unless you had that great insight because of the audience
118
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.519
you were reaching out to to tell them marketing and
119
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.639
seeing the limitations of that approach to life and success.
120
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.759
It really ports it on your partner. You had two
121
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.480
mentors that said yes, So you know, you've built two businesses.
122
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.480
One you built your own real estate, entire real estate portfolio,
123
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.600
and then you started teaching others to do it. So,
124
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.600
in some ways two different businesses. You scaled there and
125
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.240
on today our focus is scaling, and you know, there's
126
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.120
launching a business and there's beginning to grow your business.
127
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.800
But scaling really takes us into an entirely new game
128
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.920
where we can meet a lot of new challenges, whether
129
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.079
it's growing our team or seeing profits squeezed, or just
130
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.720
a complexity. You know, we have to become a different
131
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.879
person to run a business at that level than somebody
132
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.480
is who's running it at a smaller scale. So I wondered,
133
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.879
what did you see as some of the challenges and
134
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.439
scaling your business as it became more complex both maybe
135
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.920
in both stages, the one of building your real estate portfolio,
136
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.120
it's such a high level, but then turning around and
137
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.120
building the business of teaching others to do so.
138
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah.
139
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.839
So I discovered in the game of real estate that
140
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.040
if I could make my project homogenous, that it would
141
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.279
allow me to basically create a duplicatable system. And so
142
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.839
I decided to drill down hard on a niche. I
143
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.399
don't actually believe that single family investing is smart. When
144
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:12.879
I say it, I mean that if you buy a
145
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.439
three bedroom, two bathroom minimum new home built one of
146
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.160
the top five markets of the United States, and you
147
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.519
purchase at thirty percent below the median. If you can
148
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.519
meet all that criteria and hold that home for five
149
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.879
to seven years, that's where I would essentially squeeze out
150
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.480
this average sixty percent annual ROI that really kicks trash
151
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.439
out of four to one k's IRA savings or other investments.
152
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.319
And so because I was able to turn it into
153
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.720
a system, if you were to evaluate my last couple
154
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.639
thousand deals, you'd say, well, Chris, they all look identical.
155
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.480
They all look the same.
156
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.639
There's strength in that the box that my buybox is
157
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.079
so narrow, and what that does is that gives me scale.
158
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.040
And so the last two billion dollars in real estate transactions,
159
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.959
all the product looks the same, acts the same, behaves
160
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.319
the same, and as a result, so is the ROI.
161
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.000
That's different than what most people don't in real life.
162
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.439
State they're looking for this cute you know, Airbnb, and
163
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.360
then we're going to do this development project. Then we're
164
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.319
going to do this multifamily. And you never really develop
165
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.800
mastery because you're not specializing, because you're doing a little
166
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.199
bit of everything and what I really learned from my
167
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.040
mentors is that's how to fail. So what I did
168
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.240
is I said, well, let's pick a niche where we
169
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.480
can make the most money for the least time effort risk,
170
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.839
and then we're going to exploit it and then we're
171
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.560
going to run hard with it. Well, that's systems thinking,
172
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.680
not very different when it really came into my educational
173
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.560
business of showing people. I don't actually like to consider
174
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.519
myself a real estate guru or an educator because those
175
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.120
that can't do teach for me. It's the opposite. I
176
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.279
buy real estate every single day with a team of
177
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.240
two hundred experts. What I do different is I leverage
178
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.840
my social media and go out there and say, hey,
179
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.440
if you've always wanted to make money in real estate,
180
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.480
but you're not confident that you're going to put in
181
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240
your ten thousand Malcolm glad Well hours, then partner with
182
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.679
me and I'll just do it for you. And that,
183
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.679
again is another system. So instead of me teaching you
184
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.360
saying well, I hope you figure it out and I
185
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.159
hope you'll implement it the way I'm showing you, I
186
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.879
just say, eh, we're going to dummy proof this. If
187
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.240
partner with the right person, then everything becomes a known
188
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.480
in this algorithm of ones and zeros, which means it's
189
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.519
a return to predictability. I don't think you can scale
190
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.399
a company ultimately unless you have total predictability.
191
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.960
Fascinating. So just so I understand your business small elements.
192
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.639
So you're actually buying single family homes and you're holding
193
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.919
them for a period of time. Now in the meantime,
194
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.679
I assume you're renting them out, so you have a
195
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.639
whole property management, rental agency business everything.
196
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.120
Yeah, and so if you look at the United States,
197
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.120
it's made above three hundred and twenty four major cities,
198
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.360
but only five of them. The population's booming, We've gotten
199
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.159
inversion on the supply demand scale. The homes are still
200
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.600
deeply affordable for income in the area. There's ten macroeconomics
201
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.279
I dial in before I can select a market. So
202
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.320
one of my markets, for example, is Orlando, Florida, where
203
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.440
in the next five years they're expecting a seventeen percent
204
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.440
population growth, and I buy in a specific area, brand
205
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.759
new bill with the highest appreciation that we have in
206
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.840
the United States. With a half a million people leaving
207
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.960
California and six hundred thousand leaving New York last year.
208
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.039
The majority of those are flooding into Florida. What we're
209
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.480
doing is we're capitalizing on that major supply demand curve.
210
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.879
Issue, and you buy within a certain price range.
211
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.720
Yeah, everything is in a really narrow box. My average
212
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.399
houses purchased between two hundred and two hundred and fifty
213
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:24.279
thousand dollars.
214
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.360
Wow, these are in those markets. Those are almost starter homes.
215
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:27.960
Yeah.
216
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.159
So if you take a look at all real estate,
217
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.320
condos won't appreciate, or a townhome own appreciate, or a
218
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.200
two bit on one bath won't appreciate as much as
219
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.799
a starter home. Meanwhile, starter homes also outperform luxury or
220
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.360
anything mid grade. So yeah, it's a very specific niche.
221
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.399
I know there was a big crash in the luxury
222
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.679
home market in Florida, especially back in two thousand and eight.
223
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.440
Yeah, sure was.
224
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.399
So that seems to make a lot of sense. So
225
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.360
you mentioned two hundred experts, you have two hundred employees,
226
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.240
or you have a network of best works. As you
227
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.320
built this, I'm sure you must have a lot of
228
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.840
people fighting the homes you're going to buy, and there
229
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.159
must be a big operation to make sure you're getting
230
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.679
that it's that narrow niche.
231
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.080
Well, this actually comes back to the conversation to scale.
232
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.080
Some are employees, some are ten ninety nine, some are realtors,
233
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.919
some are third parties. I used to run everything in house,
234
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.440
and I found that scale was easier when I could
235
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.399
actually tap into existing companies and fore go making money
236
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.080
on those fees, but have efficiency and accountability that was
237
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.519
harder to produce internally.
238
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.799
Oh, quite interesting. So you have agents that are actually
239
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.720
doing the purchases for you, then yep.
240
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:33.120
Yeah.
241
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.759
So basically these two hundred experts range from portfolio managers
242
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.759
internally that are, you know, interfacing with my partners that
243
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.320
find me online that want to produce these sixty percent returns.
244
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.919
I mean, the reality is if I can help someone
245
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.399
buy one rental twenty years later, you can turn that
246
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.440
into a multimillion dollar portfolio. They're not getting that in
247
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.080
pensions or four one case. So I'm really an alternative,
248
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.399
but it's a done for you option. So I need
249
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.919
portfolio managers. And then of course there's realtors and loan
250
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.480
officers and title agents. I've got to have people that
251
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.360
can fix up the homes, do the title work, et cetera.
252
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.879
Well, what were some of the challenges you met along
253
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.720
the way. I mean, I assume that as you begin
254
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.799
to unfold this strategy and so forth, there must have
255
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.200
been some bumps in the road, and also personally in
256
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.600
terms of not burning out the sustainability that it's taken
257
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.720
for youth to datums and get where you are today.
258
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.480
Could you talk a little bit about that journey.
259
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.360
Well, at first, my real estate was very local. I
260
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.360
live in Utah, so I was building all my real
261
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.639
estate portfolio Utah. So I learned after the two thousand
262
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.039
and eight crash that there's a lot of other great markets.
263
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.320
I went into one market that was a nightmare. It
264
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.480
was a blue state, and I was licking my wound
265
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.639
on a million dollars.
266
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:36.000
That I lost.
267
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.919
But then I hit it hard with the right markets.
268
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.679
Phoenix and Vegas are to the markets that I bought
269
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.799
thousands of homes in those Yeah, And you know, within
270
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.240
five years, I made my investors over one hundred million dollars.
271
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.679
And so we made mistakes and did things well. And
272
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.080
what we did is we ultimately learned about macroeconomics and
273
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.440
data as opposed to hunches and local markets. You know,
274
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.159
when they say in real estate, there's an adage location.
275
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.759
Well, well, if you're.
276
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.200
Looking locally, you're looking at the cities around you, but
277
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.360
if you're looking nationwide, you have a chance to really
278
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.200
poach a handful of markets where you're going to outperform
279
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:09.840
everyone else.
280
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.600
Well, it sounds like in your business model and that
281
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.919
you're also providing other investors, there's a lot of leverage
282
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.919
because you've picked the best niche with the most leverage
283
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.559
the investment. And also the idea of recurring revenue can
284
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.679
be very important to a business. And often when we
285
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.080
say recurring revenue, people think about subscription programs and membership
286
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.480
programs and so forth. But any system that you know,
287
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.039
if you do that system every day is going to
288
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.440
produce x amount of revenue is recurring revenues. So I
289
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.720
wonder if you talk about that in terms of how
290
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.600
you built your business and being able to count on
291
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.960
that recurring revenue stream.
292
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.919
Yeah, part of my recurring revenue just comes from the
293
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.240
way that I buy real estate. I've got partners that
294
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.720
will set up an LLC, put money down, qualify with
295
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.399
the bank. That's kind of an old school methodology that
296
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.799
increass you maximum leverage. So maximum ROLI. But a lot
297
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.559
of my partners are looking for convenience and they don't
298
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.200
want to apply their credit or they have reasons why
299
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.120
they don't want to go through that criteria.
300
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.879
So I put together real estate funds.
301
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.399
I currently have more than a dozen different real estate funds.
302
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.519
Partners will put their money in, will buy real estate.
303
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.200
That way, use the same strategy, except we go in
304
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.879
and buy cash and then I use DSCR loans to
305
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.320
pull the money out. Well, these funds have management fees,
306
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.840
and those management fees are paid out every single month.
307
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.559
They're reoccurring.
308
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.320
And so in my reoccurring model, I get millions of
309
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.320
views every week on my social media. People you know,
310
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.360
every week will find me, they'll decide to become partners
311
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.759
with me, they'll invest in my funds. Those funds are
312
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.399
ever expanding. You know, in the next year, we're going
313
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.159
to take on another one hundred million dollars in real estate. Well,
314
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.240
when you add your fees to that, you know, which
315
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.919
we disclosed to all of our partners, that produces our
316
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.759
reoccurring revenue. And you know, if I keep doing this
317
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.840
for the next five years, their reoccurring revenue is over
318
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.600
a million dollars a month. So there's a model, and
319
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.480
I think that is an important part of saying, well,
320
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.519
your company has expenses. You don't want to start the
321
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.200
first every month starting over saying we got to generate
322
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.720
new revenue all over again. If you have some of
323
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.879
it reoccurring, obviously, that's going to lighten your load.
324
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.200
And make things a lot easier. Yeah.
325
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.440
Absolutely, So again to kind of dig it into your
326
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.120
business model here. So you're buying star homes, you're writing
327
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.840
them out and holding them for a period of time,
328
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.600
and it's a pretty leveraged investment. So do these cash flow?
329
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.720
Is that part of your revenue stream on the rental
330
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.240
or you just want to break even with them?
331
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.240
And you may definitely do not want to break.
332
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.759
Even, Like that would be a really really that'd be
333
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.879
a crass model for sure. Now, part of the reoccurring
334
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.000
revenue is that there's absolutely I don't think we pay
335
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.840
a ton of attention to it in the beginning, because
336
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.000
you know, if I help a basic investor by one,
337
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.480
two or three homes in five years, we want to
338
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.679
double it. So let's say we start with two in
339
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.000
five years, we want four, and then five more years,
340
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.120
we want eight. And five more years we want, you know,
341
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.320
sixteen and over twenty years, someone can build a portfolio
342
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.120
of fifteen to thirty homes. Well, the cash flow in
343
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.039
fifteen to thirty.
344
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.120
Homes is actually pretty exciting.
345
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.159
It's like, well, if I'm making four hundred dollars or
346
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.919
five hundred dollars a home and I've got twenty homes,
347
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.519
you know, now I have a residual income that allows
348
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.159
me to have more of the retirement that I want.
349
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.759
And one percent of your rental income is then dedicated
350
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.759
to property management and the rental agency whoever's doing the
351
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.320
job of keeping them rented and managing the property.
352
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.879
You know, it's pretty typical for property managers to charge
353
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.720
ten percent, but because they view me as one client
354
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.440
with two thousand partners, what I do is I get
355
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.639
everything in bulk. So when I open up a new area,
356
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.360
I negotiate with that manager to do it at six
357
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.200
percent instead of ten percent. And anytime I can drive
358
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.519
those fees down, that's a forty percent fee reduction that's
359
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.399
pretty significant. By doing that, that also boosts my ROI
360
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:37.960
because there's a lot of people that look at my
361
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.919
report over my longitudinal study over the last decade and
362
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.480
they see the on the last twenty one and thirty
363
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.799
rentals that we're producing sixty point sixty five percent of
364
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.399
your on our money. They want to know how do
365
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.720
you do that? And part of that is you got
366
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.720
to get your fees down, and part of that is
367
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.480
the game of real estate and bulk will always create
368
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.360
that driving force.
369
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.639
So, you know, the housing market can be a bit volatile.
370
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.159
There's some probably long term trends and some crashes and
371
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.600
so forth. And then there's a rental market as well,
372
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.920
so you're exposed to both markets in terms of the
373
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.759
pricing on homes and then rental prices. Now, I don't
374
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.119
know how closely real estate prices and rental prices track.
375
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.559
I'm sure they parallel, but there might be some way
376
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.359
they differentiate. But I'm curious about that. How the rental
377
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.079
market impacts your business, and then how changes in the
378
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.680
housing market impact your business.
379
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.440
Yeah, two things on that, you know.
380
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.799
The first one is that the rental market will usually
381
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.200
be about eighteen months delayed.
382
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.880
Behind the housing market.
383
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.240
So let's say that the housing market comes you know,
384
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.319
crashes or comes down, or we have a change in
385
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.920
supply and demand, the rental market will come in tow,
386
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.319
and so that meant that real estate for the last
387
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.640
couple of years has had some crushed cash flows. Under
388
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.359
this administration, Donald Trump is saying to make real estate
389
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.480
affordable again. He wants to get rates back down to
390
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.359
three percent. If he achieves that, that's going to create
391
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.480
a You know, as rental rates are rising in people refinance,
392
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.359
you're not going to see cash flows of five six
393
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.279
seventy eight hundred dollars on a property, so they do
394
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.240
move and you have to play a long game to
395
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.680
play that one well. But as far as the market crashing,
396
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.880
the stock market crashes every seven years. Real estate is
397
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.359
usually every fifteen years. But it's very predictable and it's
398
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.519
not all at once. It's really about supplying demand. The
399
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.759
two thousand and eight crash happened because we had too
400
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.799
much real estate and not enough buyers, because a home
401
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.400
is only worth what someone's willing to pay. But in
402
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.440
this economy that we're in, historically at this point we
403
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.160
never recovered from eight We're currently missing four point five
404
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.720
million single family homes. If we have every builder on
405
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.440
the streets building at maximum capacity in nine years, it's
406
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.440
possible to break even, which is when the next crash
407
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.680
could be. So single family is a space. There's a
408
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.480
reason why billions of dollars from hedge funds are pouring
409
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.119
into the purchasing of single family homes is because for
410
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.880
the next decade it's going to actually be a very
411
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.599
safe market.
412
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.599
So you know, in thock market and buying, owning securities
413
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.920
and so forth, equities and so forth. Generally, the conservative,
414
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.519
even not sole conservative, is buy and hold and asset
415
00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.759
allocation and so forth.
416
00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.960
Being a day trader and.
417
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.279
Trying to actively beat the market day to day is
418
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.559
very risky. You better make it your time job, better
419
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.200
be pretty sure. But it sounds like in some ways
420
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.079
you're doing that with real estate, but in a longer
421
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.559
game by choosing the right markets to be in at
422
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.160
the right time. And hadn't that be data driven?
423
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.240
Yeah, it is true.
424
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.079
You know, the stock market when you take a look
425
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.240
at its EBB and flow, real estate moves much more predictably,
426
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.920
moves very different. I can drill down to a zip
427
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.880
code and I can know what our supply demand looks
428
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.319
like in that zip code, so I know when it's
429
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.720
time to pull out after X number of time. And
430
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.440
so we're basically going to sit in that market, and
431
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.160
we're going to ride that market, and then when that
432
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.759
market has basically saturated, we're going to pull.
433
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:35.960
Out of it.
434
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.279
And that's part of how we create predictability in that game.
435
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.519
It's actually a very simple economic engine to be able
436
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.680
to predict. In two thousand and eight, I owned a
437
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.119
lot of real estate, over one hundred homes.
438
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.480
I didn't lose a single one of them.
439
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.920
Because part of the strategy is about insulation. When we
440
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.160
talk about how do you scale well, it means that
441
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.599
when the stock market goes down, the real estate market
442
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.200
actually increases. For example, thirty your averages on four one
443
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.400
ks and iras sit between four and five percent. Most
444
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.839
people don't know that with inflation at three or four percent,
445
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.640
you're pretty close to a break even real estate, you
446
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.240
get the game of leverage. Leverage means the bank will
447
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.519
put up eighty percent of the money, so you're going
448
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.640
to whatever the appreciation is. If I go to Florida
449
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.680
where my appreciation is ten percent, then I can multiply
450
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.880
it by five and now making fifty percent. That's how
451
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.680
I'm targeting these sixty percent numbers on average over the
452
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.960
last decade. Is we're able to actually ride that market,
453
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.880
predict that market, and because it moves so slow, it's
454
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.559
very easy to move in and out of it. And
455
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.680
then we're also thirty percent below the median. You know,
456
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.599
the national mediing right now is around four hundred and
457
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.279
thirty grand. My average pursus price is you know, probably
458
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.319
around that two thirty two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
459
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.400
price point. That insulation means that if the market were
460
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.119
to drop, a million dollar house might get cut in half,
461
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.440
a five hundred thousand more house might get cut down
462
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.640
thirty five percent, but a two hundred and fifty thousand
463
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.759
dollar house is going to experience a little bump while
464
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.960
rents go up and your cash flow increases.
465
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:54.839
Wow.
466
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.200
So in terms of leverage, you know what in the
467
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.079
two thousand and eight crash, a lot of people got
468
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.440
who really bad goes. Hey, homes are over leveraged, and
469
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.000
no market is giving all these no money down loans
470
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.680
and all thatzy stuff. So I mean, do you put
471
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.440
standard twenty percent down and use eighty percent of the
472
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.200
bank's money, or because of your size, you try to
473
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.079
get better deals with the banks and get it away.
474
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.319
I don't want a better deal than that.
475
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.720
If they said you can only put ten percent down
476
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.799
or five percent, that actually breaks my model.
477
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:22.559
Yeah, so there's rules.
478
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.559
That we abide by that actually creates some safety.
479
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:25.720
You know, it's really weird.
480
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.720
Warren Buffett and his book Snowball, talks about how he
481
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.759
became so wealthy and one of the most important principles
482
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.640
in the book he talks about his margin of error
483
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.480
and he also calls it a safety margin. So, for example,
484
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.680
if I could buy a piece of real estate for
485
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.279
fifty percent off, that's a lot of safety compared to
486
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.160
buying it at market because the market could drop fifty
487
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.279
percent before I'm at risk for losing my first dollar. Well,
488
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.160
very similarly in the game of real estate, because I
489
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.599
have a sixty percent average annual ROI, a lot has
490
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.839
to go wrong for me to even cut that number
491
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:00.079
in half. So the goal is to make it as
492
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.799
profitable as possible in the safe as zone possible. Because
493
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.200
what that ends up doing is it gives us safety.
494
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.599
I love that make it as profitable as possible and
495
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.839
as safe as zone possible. That sounds like a formula
496
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.960
for success for sure. So you also mentioned I think
497
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.559
at the outset that you're buying these homes, it's this
498
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.279
kind of starter home price range, and you're getting them
499
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.039
more or less around thirty your targets buying homes at
500
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.519
thirty percent under market value?
501
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.200
Was that correct?
502
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.880
Not under market value? Thirty percent below the median?
503
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.119
So the median.
504
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.440
Yeah, So for predictability, if we're going to get at
505
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.000
thirty percent under market, those exist, you can't really do
506
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.240
them in bulk, and every home you lose systematization because
507
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.200
now these homes have to go through individual appraisal, repair,
508
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.119
et cetera. As opposed to me going into a market
509
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.000
and buying five hundred homes and I can order carpet
510
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.480
from China by the role and have everything consistent or
511
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.039
that word homogeneous again with the way that we do
512
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.000
colors and repairs and everything that lends itself to the
513
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.920
systems theory that we leverage in the game.
514
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.200
And you mentioned before you're buying newer homes mostly.
515
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.680
I would say seventy percent of my inventory is five
516
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.920
years old or less, most of them being completely brand.
517
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.400
New, right, So you're not doing a lot of renovation.
518
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.759
Nope, But in certain markets, you know, like one of
519
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:16.000
the markets that I'm in is Memphis, that's one of
520
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.079
my top five. I buy in the area of what's
521
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.480
called Blue Oval City. It's where Ford has built a
522
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.799
twelve billion dollar plant which produced eleven thousand new jobs,
523
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.920
and they're missing about already seventeen thousand single family homes
524
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.799
in that submarket. What that means is that average home
525
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.359
that I buy for two hundred thousand dollars in the
526
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.200
next five years is probably going to be going for
527
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.759
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, you know, according to
528
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.480
our data and information. And so that's an example of
529
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.640
drilling down into a market you know that has huge
530
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.640
potential because of a specific economic problem that it's facing.
531
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.319
Wow.
532
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.319
Wow Yeah, and operating at the scale you do with
533
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.240
the team you have, you're able to take that data
534
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.480
to have an approach and really find those sweet spots.
535
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.680
That's amazing. So you imagine Warren Bedfort before in his
536
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.240
Magy for Wealth Building. Let's talk about wealth strategy for
537
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.160
a moment, because even for the individual, and of course
538
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.319
you know you started your career because you're doing all
539
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.839
this telemarketing, you're connecting with these people who have done
540
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.839
all the right things and they're still struggling as they're
541
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.799
approaching retirement, you didn't want to do that. But in general,
542
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.920
for a lot of people, the only way to wealth
543
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.160
for the middle class on our countries be to oma
544
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.000
home and over time it appreciates and if you bought
545
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.480
it at the right time and you write the market,
546
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.279
maybe you do all right. Right, So real estate has
547
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.559
long been considered a wealth building strategy, even at the
548
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.319
lower level. Right, So how do you see that? And
549
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.400
I'm thinking both in terms of people maybe really want
550
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.400
to get into the real estate game and the way
551
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.279
you are, or people who want to invest with somebody
552
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.880
like you, but also thinking of entrepreneurs who are in
553
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.200
other industries or you know, completely different businesses, but you
554
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.039
know it's good to diversify your income sources. Maybe they
555
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.400
want to do the real estate thing on the side,
556
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.000
is a wealth building strategy. They're doing well in their business,
557
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.680
they want to start siphoning off some of that profit
558
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.240
and some of theircutions into something else. And so as
559
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.680
a wealth building strategy, could you talk about real estate?
560
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:05.279
Yeah?
561
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.400
So four to one K the common strategy everyone uses.
562
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.079
At age sixty five, the average balance is two hundred
563
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.480
and fifty four thousand dollars. If you give that to
564
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.359
your financial planner, they're going to nuitize that around three percent.
565
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.880
You're going to get around six hundred dollars a month
566
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:20.839
for the rest of your life. Now, you can't retire
567
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:23.359
on Social Security plus six hundred a month, so that
568
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.960
means that forty year strategy is not good. Meanwhile, the
569
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:29.880
average equity in the average single family home in our
570
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.400
country right now is three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars.
571
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.519
What that means is that a forty year intentional retirement
572
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.640
strategy your single family home beats it like it's crazy,
573
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.839
Which is why, at age sixty five, I think the
574
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.759
most common thought that a retire rate is having is
575
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.359
if I had just bought a few more homes, if
576
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.720
I'd bought five more homes over the course last forty years,
577
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.000
I'd probably be worth a couple million dollars, and all
578
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.759
of a sudden, I'd be in a good situation instead
579
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.200
of a bad situation. Well, Stanley Thomas wrote a book
580
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.200
The Millionaire next Door, and he evaluated what created the
581
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
most millionaires in this country, and hands down, the one
582
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.519
thing that these what i'll call accidental millionaires did, because
583
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.480
they weren't accidentally millionaires through investing in Tesla and four
584
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.880
to one case in the stock market is they made
585
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.160
one choice different than everybody else in their life. As
586
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:22.640
it came time to grow and graduate to a bigger
587
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.680
house or downsize, they chose not to sell the house
588
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.440
and put gains towards the new one. They just kept
589
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:30.799
it as a rental. And so the average person over
590
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.799
forty years will probably move or live in three, four
591
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.440
or five homes. If someone simply made the decision I'm
592
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.799
just going to keep every one of them and turn
593
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.200
it into a rental. By eighty to sixty five, you're
594
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.319
gonna be worth a couple of million dollars. And so
595
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:43.240
that's just one little thing. Now I take that to
596
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.039
an extreme and say, now let's do it intentionally. Now
597
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:48.680
let's do it on purpose. For example, if the average
598
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.559
American has three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars of
599
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.400
equity in their home, they probably can get a home
600
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.519
equity alant of credit for free for two hundred grand.
601
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:57.640
I could show them how to buy two or three
602
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.160
homes in these markets. And if they just and had
603
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:04.000
it growing at sixty percent, that what home would turn
604
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.319
into six million dollars for them twenty years from now.
605
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.480
So maybe not very impressive for someone who's sixty years old,
606
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.160
but if someone's listening that is twenty thirty or forty,
607
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:16.960
it's like, I got news for you. If you have
608
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.519
a home with equity in it, don't pay off your house,
609
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.759
not until you have a passive income that meets your
610
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:25.559
financial needs. And so this goes very against the grain
611
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.799
of maybe like Dave Ramsey, no debt, get out of
612
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:29.119
debt as an entrepreneur.
613
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.839
It's the opposite.
614
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:32.640
It's actually, create as much good debt as possible to
615
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.039
make money for you, and then your good debts can
616
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.240
you know, pay for all your stuff cash, pay off
617
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.079
that house eventially.
618
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.359
Well, in terms of the idea of using other people's
619
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.440
money or using the bank's money, that seems like a
620
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.640
pretty solid approach to using the bank's money. Now it's
621
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.000
a lower risk approach anyway, to using the bank's money. Yeah,
622
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.240
absolutely So, just to distinguish your approach here a bit,
623
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.880
and not to cast this version on other models necessarily,
624
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.799
but you know, there's a whole thing of flipping, the
625
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.359
whole world of flipping, and that's another and not your model.
626
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.960
And then there's the whole notion of being able to
627
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.599
buy real estate with no money down and move on
628
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.759
the next thing and no money out of pocket, these ideas,
629
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:10.119
how do you view all that?
630
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.559
Well, first of all, I love all of it, you know,
631
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:14.400
because I do have two companies. One is I just
632
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.720
buy real estate for people and build their portfolios and
633
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.880
we're partners. And then I have some of my you know,
634
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:21.480
some of my other folks that are coming in to
635
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.079
me and saying, hey, Chris, I don't have equity in
636
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.880
a home, I don't have a four o kid, I
637
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.119
don't have wealth to transfer into a portfolio. I'm kind
638
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.599
of starting like you did, Chris, with nothing. And I say, well,
639
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.119
then you need to coach and a mentor, just like
640
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:35.480
I had in the beginning that knows how to do
641
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.039
these no money done strategies. After all, thirty three hundred
642
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:39.640
dollars is all it took for me to create a
643
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:42.880
one point six million dollar net worth as a college grad.
644
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.480
And so there are people that will get in touch
645
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.599
with my company and they'll say, hey, either I do
646
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.000
have money and I would like for you to help
647
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.519
me invest it. Let's partner up and create these great returns,
648
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.279
and others will say I don't got the dough, but
649
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:57.160
will you teach me how to flip and wholesale or
650
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.680
lease option or do these other strategies. That's how I
651
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.039
build all my wealth in the beginning. So for example,
652
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.359
you know, one of my coaches on my team, he's
653
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:08.079
done over seven hundred no money down deals. So my
654
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.640
team are we're experts, highly qualified, really good at what
655
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.640
we do. And so for those that just say, hey,
656
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.039
I'm starting behind on the resource game, It's like, great,
657
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:17.920
then we can coach you and show you how to
658
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:18.720
do these deals too.
659
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.640
So I know you have you know, kind of coaching
660
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.960
and you have do it for you and you have
661
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.559
different and you have your funds and your real estate funds.
662
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.279
You know, for the entrepreneur who's pretty focused on building
663
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.359
his or her business right, and that takes a lot
664
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.960
of bandwidth, you know, how much can you get into
665
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.519
something like what you're doing? I mean, how much do
666
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.279
you have time do you have to day to kind
667
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.480
of really master in that game, because you know, being
668
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.599
a kind of a diletant and dabbling and stuff can
669
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.279
be a failure.
670
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.599
Right.
671
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.559
Yeah, Well, here's my rule of thumb for people. I
672
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.640
always try to help people to delineate whether they should
673
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.920
become a real estate investor that is active or a
674
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.000
passive real estate investor. And my rule of thumb is simple.
675
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.640
Malcolm Gladwell says you need ten thousand hours to master something.
676
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.440
If you're a do it yourselfer, you better be signing
677
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.440
up for the welcome glad Well ten thousand hours, which
678
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:04.599
means that it's really a job. It's not passive, and
679
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:06.480
it's not on the side. When I talk to my
680
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.319
partners and I ask them, it's like, well, which are
681
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.519
you Those that are like do it for me? What
682
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.480
they do is I say, well, good, then partner with
683
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.960
someone like me. I'll do one hundred percent of the
684
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.200
work and then we'll split the profits equally. And that's
685
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.759
actually a model fleet that I use in every area
686
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.039
of my life. So I own companies in all sorts
687
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.920
of industries. I own franchises, restaurants, all sorts of different
688
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.160
types of companies, you know, mineral and.
689
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.119
Gold and oil.
690
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.119
And when I look at all these companies in my
691
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:36.000
tech plays, I never allowed myself to venture into a
692
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.880
market I didn't understand without partnering with somebody. So my
693
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.519
rule of thumb is simple. If you want one hundred
694
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.839
percent of the gains. If you want the whole grape,
695
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:46.559
then you need to pay your ten thousand Malcolm Glawow hours.
696
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:48.799
If you are going into an area you don't have
697
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.519
expertise in, then instead go for a slice of watermelon.
698
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.359
And by the way, a slice of watermelon is usually a.
699
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:55.440
Lot bigger than a grape.
700
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.640
The watermelon is an analogy for finding an expert that
701
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.960
doesn't just have ten thousand hours, has one hundred thousand.
702
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.319
Me and my team, I've got one hundred thousand Malcolm
703
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.799
Gladial hours in the game of single family. And so
704
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.720
it's really simple. If you're not going to pay the
705
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.559
price for the expertise, then partner with an expert. If
706
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.319
you're willing to pay the price for expertise, then get
707
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:17.119
a great mentor and learn how to do it yourself.
708
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.119
Wow, that is incredibly sound advice. So I'm just soaking
709
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.359
this in myself, both for audience and personally. So there
710
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.799
are many wealth teachers that talk about one way or
711
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.559
another we have like this internal blueprint, or it should
712
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.920
be like a thermostat. We inherit it from our family,
713
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.160
from our culture, and you know, we kind of have
714
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.559
permission or we deserve to earn up to hear right now,
715
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.240
we shouldn't earn less than us heater And we're in
716
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.759
there right and if we started the less, you know,
717
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.799
the heater comes on the fire under our butt. We
718
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.000
get busy, we get back into that zone. But if
719
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.000
we start making too much, we get uncomfortable. We somehow
720
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.799
don't have the mindset cultural permission.
721
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:54.640
There's a barometer that's been set.
722
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.079
Yeah, it's been set, and we have that blueprint in
723
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.000
us and you know, one of the real strategies are
724
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.079
change is not just been going and changed the blueprint.
725
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.400
So I wonder in your experience, was there a pathway
726
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.160
to you being able to imagine that you could kind
727
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.480
of create the wealth for yourself that you have created
728
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.759
and now creating for others that you know from your
729
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.640
upbringing and what it took to imagine yourself. Can you
730
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.640
give yourself permission or what I just have the vision
731
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:19.440
to be able to create wealth in this way?
732
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.200
Two things on that. The first one is there's two
733
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.480
types of books someone should always be reading. The first
734
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:26.759
one is how to go deeper in the trade that
735
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.640
you're mastering. Because we all have a Malcolm Gladwell something
736
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.880
that we're mastering, and you should read what other thought
737
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.200
leaders say about that on your journey. Personal development books,
738
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.920
anything that deals with psychology or expansion of self. You
739
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.079
will always get a huge ROI in every aspect of
740
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.359
your life by reading these books. I never stop reading
741
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.720
those books now. Aside from that, when I was young
742
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.200
and getting started out, I made one crucial decision that
743
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.319
really affected me for the rest of my life. When
744
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.480
I was a telemarketer. That first year I made eighteen
745
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.160
thousand dollars, was more money than I had ever made
746
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.759
before fleet but as a college kid, it wasn't enough
747
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.000
to keep my head above water eater, And so what
748
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.160
I ended up doing was I said, I want to
749
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:09.319
manifest a goal for this next year. This telemarketing job
750
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.559
had a commission component, there was a sales component. I
751
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.599
sucked at it, and I said, you know, if I'm
752
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.160
going to be here, I might as well get good
753
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:18.119
at this. And since the average American at the time
754
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:21.240
makes forty four thousand dollars a year and I only
755
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.599
made eighteen thousand last year, I'm going to choose to
756
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.000
believe that I can double my income.
757
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:27.240
I believe I'm at least average. I don't know. I'm
758
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.039
just young and dumb.
759
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.440
I don't really know, but I believe I'm at least average. Well,
760
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.680
I spent that entire year no different than an olympian
761
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.680
that meditates and practices what they want in their head.
762
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.240
Stanford did a study and they said that half the
763
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.079
Stanford team actually practiced mentally their free throw shots, the
764
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.920
other half actually did it, and who had the greatest
765
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.160
actual performance increase at the end of the season. It
766
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.200
was those who had practiced mentally where they could practice perfect. Well,
767
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.200
every day I practiced, I double may incme, I double
768
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.880
maan come, I double may income, I double may incme.
769
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.720
At the end of the year, I made fifty thousand dollars.
770
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.000
I was in a job, in a situation where it
771
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.599
was possible, and I did it. And because I had
772
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.000
three hundred and sixty five days of believing that I
773
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.639
could that, when it came to the next year, I said, well,
774
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.280
I should just do that again, because.
775
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.440
I'm so habituated.
776
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:14.159
In other words, we don't really get what we believe
777
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.400
we can get. We get what we believe in. We
778
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.519
practice we can get and so I practice flawlessly for
779
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:21.119
another three hundred and sixty five days, and I made
780
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.440
one hundred grand the next year, and the year after
781
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.800
I made a quarter million. The year after I made
782
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:27.199
a half a million. And what I learned is that
783
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.519
I get what I believe in practice, and so that's
784
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.000
actually become a huge part of my personal financial and
785
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:36.480
overall psychology, which is in the late way. And I
786
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:40.599
are taught that you can create something in your mind
787
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:44.000
so real, like a placebo, where if you can allow
788
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:48.039
yourself to feel it energetically and emotionally, it's no less
789
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.360
real in the mind than reality. In other words, your
790
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.519
dream state and your actual state. The mind can't tell
791
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:56.159
the difference, and the subconscious mind is ultimately what's determining
792
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.679
what we perceive in the real world, which is why
793
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.960
everyone needs to become aware of the limiting beliefs and
794
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.039
stop saying things that counteract what they want, and every
795
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.400
day have mental practice time. I do it in meditation,
796
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.559
where I practice what I want everything I've never had
797
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.239
I practice here. For example, since January fifteenth, two thousand
798
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.760
and nine, I have practiced that I'm a billionaire. I'm
799
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.719
in actuality, not a billionaire yet, but I have a
800
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.280
path and I know how I'm going to get there,
801
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.119
and I think I'm pretty sure when it's going to happen.
802
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:25.880
But I've been practicing it since two thousand and nine,
803
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.480
which means I've been at it for sixteen years. But
804
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.840
here inside internally, when I become a billionaire, it won't
805
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:34.840
shock me because I've been practicing it for such a
806
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:35.400
long time.
807
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.199
Well, that's incredibly sage advice. You know, you're kind of
808
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.320
reverencing the power of the mind there and what some
809
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.480
people reference as manifesting or manifestation. And the problem with
810
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.840
some of the manifestation world is they get the belief,
811
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.079
they get the mind part, but they forget about the
812
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.599
practice part, and that you have to practice and practice
813
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.400
and practice, and that's what actually changes on Neural architecture
814
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.280
changes energy and changes our relationship to the world. It
815
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:00.280
takes that practice.
816
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.800
Well, and not just practice, just taking action. Because the
817
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.559
reason why we go internally is to develop a frequency.
818
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.280
When I see myself with the object of my desire,
819
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.760
when I see myself feeling it no less real than
820
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:13.599
when it's in the real world, then I'm generating a frequency.
821
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.000
That frequency will allow me to meet people, have conversations.
822
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:18.440
But I got to take action. It's like, Wow, that's
823
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.760
really weird. I' met this master of my meeting philt
824
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.639
inspired to talk to this person. No, I got nervous
825
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:24.719
and I didn't. Well, you defied the frequency that you've
826
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.039
been practicing. We generate that frequency so that we can
827
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.840
go find the resonating matching frequency, and that's what, in hindsight,
828
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:33.800
will show us the breadcrumbs to get what we want.
829
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:34.599
Yeah.
830
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.679
Absolutely, and generally, I mean, if we're really practicing, probably
831
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.800
the actions are going to follow. But you're absolutely right.
832
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.360
I mean, just visualizing it again and again, there's got
833
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.960
a Rolls Royce is going to show up in your drive.
834
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.960
Where is that going to happen if you're not taking
835
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.159
the actions they create the wealth which you can buy
836
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.320
a Rolls Royce. Absolutely, So what about you know, I
837
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.960
think a lot of entrepreneurs, even if they're early to
838
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.119
market with a new idea, or they're trying to start
839
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:58.119
what market to be in, or you know, they worry
840
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.800
a lot about the competition. And I get the sense
841
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.719
when I was listening to I mean, I know there's
842
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.239
a lot of big real estate people out there, and
843
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.800
teachers of the real estate game and so forth. But
844
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.599
it sounds like you've narrowed in our approach where I
845
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.159
doubt if you're that worried about colle I could be wrong.
846
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.280
Maybe they have competitors in the same niche you are,
847
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:18.360
But it sounds to me like you've found your way
848
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.480
into a niche where you don't have a lot of competition.
849
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:21.239
Yeah.
850
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.519
Actually there's a secret there, which is that if you
851
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:25.800
will niche down to be in a place that no
852
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.119
one else is. And by the way, when you look
853
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.239
at my niche, it's like scaling single family. In my industry,
854
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.920
everyone says crazy, can't be done, impossible, And that was
855
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.599
the clue that if I could solve the impossible, that
856
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.159
I could build something meaningful there. So I actually selected
857
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.800
it knowing that everyone said it couldn't be done. And
858
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.519
the reality is, if you can solve the impossible that
859
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:49.360
no one else is willing to, then you get to
860
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.199
reap a disproportionate amount of reward for doing that.
861
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.000
So that was by design. Wow.
862
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.159
So you mentioned before that you have employees, You have
863
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.880
used contractors, you also work with agencies and various kinds
864
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:04.519
and so forth. But I assume within your company you
865
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.199
do have some employees, So I'm curious about the culture
866
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.239
and how important that is to you, the kind of
867
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.559
company you have and the company you lead, and your
868
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:14.000
people and the culture you're creating, and even the people
869
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:16.760
you partner with. I'm talking about your investors necessarily, but
870
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.280
the agencies and so forth that you partner with, whether
871
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.039
there's an alignment of culture there, and how that has
872
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:24.559
to do with scale and creating culture that's scalable as
873
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.280
well as the systems and the repeatable processes that are scalable.
874
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.840
If you don't have a designed culture, the people you
875
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:34.960
hire will create it for you. And anytime you put
876
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.679
a mix of good humans together, you're going to get
877
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.239
a mixed culture. I think it was important to have
878
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.199
a good culture a decade ago. Today it's especially with
879
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:48.559
bringing together Gen Z and Millennials. They expect it and
880
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:52.039
they require it. And so my company has a culture committee.
881
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.559
My CEO leads up exactly who we are who or
882
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:56.719
not what the culture is. I think part of that
883
00:38:56.800 --> 00:39:00.360
culture is really defining precisely who we are and then
884
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.119
we stick to it, and then you let go of
885
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.119
anyone that actually doesn't meet that culture. And the stronger
886
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:06.840
the culture, the harder it is to be a part
887
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.000
of it, the more powerful that culture will be. And
888
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.960
so culture is actually a really important finnamic inside our company.
889
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.199
When culture has been weak, drama has been high, and
890
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.960
drama is the most expensive, invisible a line item on
891
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.320
the balance sheet. And so culture is what you do
892
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:25.559
to combat drama.
893
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:29.079
Yeah, my early consulting career for almost two decades was
894
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:33.039
all by helping companies eliminate the drama inside the organizations
895
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:33.840
and created no drama.
896
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:35.159
If you don't know who you are and you don't
897
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:36.960
know what you stand for, then you get drama as
898
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.440
a byproduct, as a tax saying you haven't invested in
899
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:41.000
your culture.
900
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:45.280
Absolutely, So what were your strategies and your steps as
901
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.679
you've built your business and scaled to actually create that culture?
902
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:52.480
I mean, you embodied something yourself and you learn that,
903
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.159
you follow the bread crumbs of other success, and you
904
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.199
got a sense of what a high performing cult, no drama,
905
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.679
a highly accountable, high performing culture would be. How did
906
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.440
you then build that into your team and your company.
907
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.679
First of all, there's great companies out there, No rules,
908
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.559
the story of Netflix. Cynics got a great book out
909
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:14.039
there on the Infinite Game. There's fantastic books to read
910
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.559
that will help you witness the cultures of others. And
911
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:18.480
I think it's important to be inspired by other great
912
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:21.880
cultures before you can sit down and then design your culture.
913
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.639
The culture shouldn't be too complicated, you know. I think
914
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:27.599
our culture has eight tenants, which is probably just even
915
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.440
a couple too many, But in our it doesn't matter
916
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.400
if you have one unless you actually teach it and
917
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.039
reward it. So in our company, in our weekly meetings,
918
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.679
our monthly meetings, and our quarterly meetings, culture is always
919
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:42.199
brought in to what we do. And then the other
920
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.599
part of culture is if you don't enforce it, then
921
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.039
everyone understands that it's fake, it's not real, it's lip service,
922
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:49.320
and then no one will treat.
923
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:49.639
It as real.
924
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.159
And so that's how I'd go about finding one, building
925
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:55.079
one and getting inspired by the ones, and then whatever
926
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:56.920
you do, sit down, design it and then.
927
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:58.119
Enforce it whatever it is.
928
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.639
That also means hardest decisions they've ever had to make
929
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.119
regarding culture fleet is that sometimes you hire someone that's
930
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.760
really competent, but they don't fit the culture. If they're
931
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:11.239
really good at what they do, fire them. Competency cannot
932
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:15.039
make up for a non culture fit, and so I
933
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.880
expect competency, but that's not how you get hired on.
934
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:20.480
In fact, even if you read a you know, when
935
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.199
we do our job postings, we always also post the
936
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.840
culture so that before your first meeting, they've already been
937
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:28.239
exposed to it, where they can already pre select in
938
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.000
or out on whether or not they even agree with
939
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.360
what the company believes in. But that's been some of
940
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:35.400
the most important decisions that we've made, is firing really
941
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.559
competent people because they weren't a cultural fit, because there
942
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.760
will always be damaging costs to the company when you
943
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:40.079
do that.
944
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.119
Yeah. In fact, in some ways, the most toxic employees
945
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:44.800
are highly competent, highly.
946
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.000
Yes every time culture.
947
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:48.639
And that's why we wrestle. We're like, how can I
948
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:50.519
let this person go? They're so dang good at what
949
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.239
they do, And I'm like, yeah, but if they're not
950
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.599
a cultural fit, then you've made your choice and you
951
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:55.920
will be rewarded with drama.
952
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:56.480
Yeah.
953
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:57.960
At the other end of the scale, you have the
954
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.880
cultural fit, the person everybody likes, they just don't get
955
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.239
the job.
956
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.559
If you got the person that is like like the
957
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.519
mask at for culture and has no competency, you also mishired. Yeah,
958
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.239
and Tony say says it best, which is.
959
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:11.840
You know, higher, slow, fire fast, right?
960
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.960
Yeah, great, so much there. So were there any steps
961
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:18.559
along the way when you were small? I assume you
962
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.760
kind of start off by yourself. Obviously you were a
963
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.960
solopreneur doing real estate investing, and then you probably started
964
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:25.440
to build a bit of a team around you.
965
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:26.039
Of some kind.
966
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.440
Was there any time that you got the potential for
967
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.719
scale or the specter of scale as you saw your
968
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.920
business expanding, you saw the possibilities that fear set in
969
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:37.440
that who am I to run this big company?
970
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:38.360
Or how am I going to?
971
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.239
You know, like, was there any stages of fear you
972
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.039
had to break through?
973
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.400
I think I did one thing opposite the most.
974
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.199
The reason why a lot of entrepreneurs don't scale is
975
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:50.320
because they have trust issues. They really have this mindset
976
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.280
that they're the best person for every job in their company.
977
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:56.000
And when you believe that, when you hire people, you
978
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.320
end up hiring people down that you can control. And
979
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.320
you think you're small because you're saving money and it
980
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:03.679
looks good on the P and L, but what you're
981
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.559
getting are people that are not free thinkers when the
982
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:07.880
reality is there's people out there that.
983
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.960
Can do the job better than you.
984
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:11.719
And so I had to break free that mindset because
985
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:13.559
in the beginning, I had this belief that if you
986
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.320
want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
987
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:17.760
And my dad taught me that as a German carpenter
988
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.280
running his own company. And I remember just being a
989
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.599
teenager hanging out with my dad, and I remember I
990
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.400
would also answer the phones in the morning, and all
991
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:26.039
sorts of people wanted to work with my dad.
992
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:27.000
And I remember when.
993
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:28.679
I said, Dad, we should scale, we should I didn't
994
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:30.320
use those words as sixteen, but I said, Dad, we
995
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.400
should expand the business.
996
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:32.079
We should grow it.
997
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:34.079
We should hire another team, to have two teams going
998
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:35.639
at the same time. And my dad said, I'll never
999
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.920
forget it. He said, if you want something done right,
1000
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:39.960
you do it yourself. I did it his way until
1001
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:42.679
I was twenty five years old, until one day the
1002
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.280
revelation hit me. I'm going crazy. I'm doing everything. I'm
1003
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.840
doing too much. I'm a full time student and I've
1004
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:50.199
got a full time job, and I have a full
1005
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.000
time business and I never see my brand new wife.
1006
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:52.960
And I was going crazy.
1007
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.800
And I said, maybe Dad was wrong, and I remember
1008
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:57.880
when I wrote this down, if you want something done right,
1009
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:03.800
don't do it yourself, and that became my motto for
1010
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.639
everything in business and scale. And a couple summers ago,
1011
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.239
is hanging out with a billionaire friend of mine sould
1012
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:11.639
this company for one point six billion, and I remember
1013
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.559
asking them, David like, what's your job now in your company? Says,
1014
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.079
if I do it right, I don't have one. And
1015
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:21.079
what he was exemplifying in the highest order was if
1016
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.599
you want something done right, find the very best people.
1017
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:25.599
So Richard Branson says the same thing. Surround yourself with
1018
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.159
the very best people and get out of your way,
1019
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:27.840
get out of.
1020
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:28.400
Their way, right.
1021
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.679
Yeah. I think there's two aspects of that. One is
1022
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.000
hiring exactly that I hire the very best people and
1023
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:35.320
get out of their way, and surround yourself with people
1024
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.239
who are smart in you because there's a lot of
1025
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:38.880
things about your business that there's a lot of people
1026
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:40.800
that can do a lot better than we can. But
1027
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.000
you know, especially early on in the business, a lot
1028
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.960
of entrepreneurs were perfectionists and at least after some aspect
1029
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.320
of our product or our business. But I love what
1030
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.639
Dan Martell says, even in that aspect. If you got
1031
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.559
somebody that can do it eighty percent as good as you,
1032
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.920
that's good up to keep scaling and move forward.
1033
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.199
Right, It is true, and also that's part of just
1034
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:01.280
actually duplicatable scale. Henry forb was a early mentor of mine,
1035
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.880
just in books, who invented this, you know, the conveyor
1036
00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:06.880
belt for the model T. The dude didn't know how
1037
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.599
to fabric gate a card, didn't understand combustible engine, but
1038
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.559
he had a vision. And what he did is he
1039
00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:14.559
surrounded himself with the smartest people. And that became really
1040
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.760
inspiring to me. Never be threatened by someone who's better
1041
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.559
than you at a job. In fact, be the leader
1042
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.639
that finds those people and empowers those people.
1043
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.960
I picked up on some you said a few minutes ago.
1044
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.280
You mentioned you're CEO. So you're not the CEO in
1045
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.000
your company more, which means you've done really good job
1046
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:33.719
of replacing yourself. So what is your role now? I
1047
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:35.400
don't know whether you're a chairman of the board. I'm
1048
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.199
sure you're not just a passive investor in your own company.
1049
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.119
But you have a CEO, you have a whole team.
1050
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:43.559
They probably have a CEO and so forth. So what
1051
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:44.559
is your role now.
1052
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.519
Yeah, there's a book, my favorite business book that I
1053
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:51.159
would recommend to every entrepreneur called The Clothes Eli Goldenrod
1054
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.239
has this great narrative where he talks about what happens
1055
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:56.679
when you're an operator in the business versus an owner
1056
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.400
who can work on the business. In the business, your
1057
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:03.719
brain and energy just goes towards optimization and expansion. But
1058
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.159
when you get out of the game and you can
1059
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:09.400
work on the business, you can make the big moves
1060
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:11.960
that will give you double growth, that will allow you
1061
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.119
to really make the smartest moves. And so I always
1062
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:17.159
tell the entrepreneur, like, what you're striving for is to
1063
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:17.840
get to the point.
1064
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:19.239
Where you're an owner, not an operator.
1065
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.800
And I was at a Tony Robbins event six years ago.
1066
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:24.960
I was the first intervention he did. I'd paid one
1067
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.599
hundred thousand dollars to go to this financial event and
1068
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:29.800
he comes up to me and for an hour just
1069
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.239
brates me standing in front of a room of entrepreneurs.
1070
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:34.159
But by the time it was.
1071
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.440
Done, at tears and run down my face. I was
1072
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.559
passionately excited about what like understanding what my problem was.
1073
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.840
And when it was all over, I called up my
1074
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.840
director marketing and said, on Monday, you're going to give
1075
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.440
your welcome speeches the brand new CEO. I'm stepping down,
1076
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.639
I'm out. I'm empowering you. I want you to do this.
1077
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.039
That year, he grew my company four hundred percent. I
1078
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.519
just had to get out of the way. So my
1079
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.119
best idea is when you ask what my role is today, Yes,
1080
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.840
I sit on my monthly board meeting, and then I
1081
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.760
am the social media talent for my company, which I
1082
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.679
do you know, that's one day a week. And outside
1083
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:11.079
of that, I'm now just looking at strategic relationships and opportunities.
1084
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:13.159
But I don't do anything inside the business.
1085
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.760
Wow, fabulous. That's quite a success story there and everything
1086
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.440
that I mean, this has just been so illuminating, Chris.
1087
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:21.559
So we're coming near the end of our time, Chris.
1088
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:23.039
But I wanted to give you up Tony. I think
1089
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:25.519
you have a really cool free opting gift bro audience
1090
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:27.960
so they can learn more about your work and so forth.
1091
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.039
So could you talk about that.
1092
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.880
Yeah, I believe that the most valuable gift I could
1093
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.280
give someone as a fresh perspective from my point of
1094
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.440
view of what they could do to financially better their life.
1095
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.079

1096
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:41.760
