Joel Friedland is the Founder of Brit Properties, an investment firm that connects investors to Chicago industrial real estate syndications.

RG 355 - Investing in US Farmland and Agriculture – w/ Artem Milinchuk

Artem Milinchuk is the Founder of FarmTogether, an investment platform that helps people invest in farmland and turn agricultural lots into tradeable assets.
US farmland is an uncommon yet lucrative asset. It’s low-volatile, high-yield, a hedge against inflation. However, many investors tend to shy away from this asset class due to high initial costs and the specialized knowledge and skills required to manage farmland.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how Artem and FarmTogether make farmland investing more manageable and accessible to investors. Who knows? Maybe investing in agricultural real estate is the next best decision for your portfolio.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. US farmland has lower volatility and higher yields compared to traditional real estate.
2. Water source is one of the most important factors to consider when underwriting and investing in farmland.
3. When investing in farmland, you have to trust the people underwriting for you.
4. You can have a direct or creative model in farming; as an investor, both costs and returns are yours even while renting it out.
5. As a farmland owner, you can profit from land appreciation, rent, and harvests.

Matt Ryan is the CEO of Re-viv, a private equity investment company that revitalizes communities through growth-inducing and impactful strategies that benefit both renters and investors. He has created an effective system that keeps tenants happy, makes buildings last longer, and brings significant returns to investors.
But how exactly does this system work? And what are the benefits for investors and developers? This model can be quite confusing to many, which is why we’re lucky to have Matt to tell us how it works and what it entails.
Plus, Matt walks us through the co-living system Re-viv works on. Listen to how co-living works, how it helps renters afford housing, and how they enrich this type of living despite its inherent disadvantages.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

2. Even though you might not see ROI right away, revitalizing a property can extend its life.
3. Co-living is a strategic housing option for renters who want to save money, especially in high-density areas.

What is build-to-rent? How does it differ from traditional multifamily properties? And how exactly does it work? Ruben Greth, a seasoned BTR developer, is here with us this week to tell us everything we need to know about this unique space.
Ruben Greth is a multifamily build-to-rent syndicator, the Managing Partner of Legacy Acquisitions, and the Capital Raiser Show host. With Legacy Acquisitions, Ruben and his team provide investors with off-market BTR cash flow opportunities in the best submarkets and neighborhoods.
Ruben and I punch through a multitude of topics in this week’s interview—syndications, working with passive investors, development, build-to-rent, and more.

To date, VanWest Partners has deployed over $238 million in capital and manages 42 properties, 19,000 units, and 2.7 square feet of space.

Stefan moved here to the U.S. at 22 from Bulgaria. He started out as a financial engineer and managed over $90 billion in derivatives in portfolios. Then, he transferred his skills to the real estate field and founded RealtyQuant, a company that brings data-driven and quantitative strategies to the real estate industry.
Stefan has been featured in over 30 podcasts and webinar events to date. Today, we have the privilege of having him on the Investing in the US podcast to talk about what goes into investing with quantitative techniques. Some of the topics we touch on include: the sustainability of the recent valuation jump in real estate, forecasting city performances, applying correlations in the market, and so much more.
From market fluctuations to home valuations, there is so much data available for analysis in the real estate space. But the problem is that we often don’t know what to do with that data. Stefan is here to shed light on applying quantitative techniques to such a data-rich industry as real estate, and how doing so can help you invest in the most profitable deals.
So, don’t miss out on strategies that can help YOU seal the right deals. Click that ‘Play’ button now!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Don’t invest in a market where you don’t know its value.
2. Real estate is a predictable industry where data is easy to extract; you just have to know what to do with the data that you get.
3. Prices in weaker markets have less exposure to downturn.

Many of our guests have had non-real estate-related careers before delving into the investing world, but we don’t often get pilots on the show! Join me in welcoming Tait Duryea on the show, an airline pilot and real estate investor from Honolulu.
For many years, Tait Duryea has been a full-time airline pilot from Honolulu Airlines. But then, he discovered the wonders of investing in real estate, and the rest is history. Tait is the CEO of Turbine Capital where he helps other pilots secure passive income through cash flowing real estate—without becoming a landlord.
Tait loves traveling, his career, and spending time with loved ones. Just like many other investors, Tait has found real estate as an effective tool to build generational wealth while doing the things he loves. In this episode, we talk about being intentional with your time, jumpstarting your mornings, and, of course, how he invests in amazing deals with partner pilots.
As you can see, having a full-time job—even one as time-consuming as being a pilot—is not a hindrance to creating financial freedom. So, click that ‘Play’ button, listen to Tait’s story, and find out how you can become a successful real estate investor while keeping your W-2.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Be intentional with your schedule; if it’s not scheduled, it’s not going to get done.
2. Stay diligent with your time, do time-blocking, and keep distractions at bay.
3. When you wake up in the morning, resist the urge to check your phone. It can transform your whole day.
4. Content creation is key to creating wealth for your investors.

RG 290 - 2021 in Review: Inflation, Supply & Demand, Market Changes, and More With Reed Goossens
What a year 2021 has been! We are closing strong with a review of this year from an investor’s perspective, done by yours truly.
The pandemic has put us all through a massive rollercoaster of a year. People have lost their livelihoods, loved ones, and their normal lives. Bringing with it significant changes in the market, the “pandemic inflation” has also made life harder, especially for low-income families and individuals.
In this episode, I share my insights on the most important aspects of the pandemic inflation, including its effect on the supply chain, wages, migration, and cost of housing and living. Moreover, we go over the pandemic’s effect on investor behavior, which will perhaps be the most interesting topic for everyone listening in.
The pandemic has caused major shifts in the market, which is why I want to talk about my observations on current deals in comparison with normal times to help my fellow investors tread carefully during these volatile times. So, buckle up, put on your headphones, and let’s go over 2021 together!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Limited supply increases price, which trickles down to everything else.
2. From a factual standpoint, the pandemic has caused the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.
3. When people move to less expensive areas, they bring in large amounts of money. This results in a large influx of population, and thus a rise in the cost of living.
4. The more people that want to buy homes, the higher cost of housing and living costs—even in bigger cities.
5. During inflation, investors want to put their money in hard assets—including real estate.

We have a hot new topic to talk about today: co-living! Join Johnny Wolff and I as we talk about modernized co-living, investing in co-living facilities, the benefits of co-living on both ends of the spectrum, and more.
Johnny Wolff is the CEO and Founder of HomeRoom, one of the fastest-growing co-living companies in the United States. HomeRoom makes it easier for renters to look for short-term housing and, at the same time, provides an avenue for investors to find renters in a more structured set-up. While co-living is not a new concept, HomeRoom has transformed this type of housing into something more accessible, more harmonious, and ultimately—more profitable.
Johnny walks us through the concept of co-living and how his company maintains standards in roommate set-ups. He also explains how companies like HomeRoom influence the sharing economy, as well as what co-living accomplishes for the average U.S. renter. And, of course, we talk about how he and his team choose where, when, and how to invest in perfect properties for co-living.
Co-living is a new take on the boarding house concept, and HomeRoom is one of the few companies that involve investors in the equation. If you want to learn more about co-living, how to invest in a co-living property, and the benefits of co-living (for both renters and investors), click ‘Play’ now.

We have recently sold 388 units that we got on a two-pack deal just two and a half years into the business plan.

Mike Simmons is a real estate investor, public speaker, co-owner of the company Return on Investments, and the producer and host of the podcast Just Real Estate.

Despite having a good income in his 20s, he realized that he couldn’t retire unless he put his money into investments, which eventually lead him to the world of real estate investing.
But in spite of making the leap, Mike held onto this irrational fear of being judged by his friends and family for investing in real estate—until he and his wife started gaining success. A lot of us can relate to this; having irrational fears, being hesitant to start because of those fears, and ultimately letting those fears get to our heads. Mike has first-hand experience dealing with that, and his story may be just the thing to help you get started.
Mike is also a best-selling author, having written the book Level Jumping wherein he educates others on how to scale their business.

5th Anniversary: The Top 10 Best Moments of Investing in the U.S.
For the fifth anniversary of Investing in the US, we’ve compiled the top ten highlights from some of the best episodes on the podcast.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and re-listen to David Osborne as he talks about how he built an ecosystem out of different income streams to create long-term wealth, and Keith Wasserman as he shares the habits that helped him build a real estate company worth over a billion dollars. We’re also bringing back our interview with Glen Carlson where he talks about the power of a personal brand and how businesses can ratify themselves against the competition.
This episode also has one of the best snippets from our episode with M.C. Laubscher, the host of Cashflow Ninja, where he teaches us how to learn to fail as an investor, as well as some of the most common mistakes that rookie investors make. Finally, we listen again to Christopher Kai as he shares his incredible techniques of getting big-game players to actually listen to his pitches and how to make an impact on the high rollers he meets.
These highlights bring back some of the best lessons and principles in investing, such as:
- Goal setting is extremely important in creating long-term wealth
- Getting started is always the hardest part
- When pitching, don’t ramble on and don’t waste their time—go straight to the point and ask for their contact number
- Find a role model and find an example to emulate; it’s okay to be second best to the smarter guys
- A disruptive brand and philosophies can help you beat the competition

This week on the show I have the pleasure of chatting with Bob Fraser, Founder and Principal of Aspen Funds.
Bob is on a mission to help investors take advantage of one of the most effective and overlooked avenues of real estate investing: residential mortgage notes.
Bob has personal experience with the unpredictable nature of public markets. In the 90's, he launched a tech company, raised $44 million in venture capital, and grew it to over 300 employees. Then the tech bubble burst and he transitioned to finance and investing, becoming CFO for several organizations and running a hedge fund.
In 2012, he met business partner Jim Maffuccio, and the two found
an alternative way to invest in real estate without the volatility of traditional options. By purchasing discounted residential real estate notes in the American heartland they discovered a high yield, liquid, asset-secured investment that produced consistently superior returns without all the risk. Better yet? They could work with homeowners to help them stay in their homes. Everyone wins.
As you can see Bob is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to :
- Understanding economic cycles
- How market volatility is formed and affects real estate
- Long term vs short term cycles
- How to be ready for the next downturn?
- and much, much more.

With very little back in 2006 and after a brief stint in prison, Dan began getting out of his troubles when he came across the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by author Robert Kisosyaki. Dan started to have faith in himself and hustled for a check a little over $5000… then his wholesale empire began!

RG 033 - Use Your Self Directed Retirement Funds to Buy U.S. Real Estate with Geremy Heath
This week I am chatting again with another successfully Aussie expat, Geremy Heath. Geremy is the founder and CEO of Texas All Cash Home Buyers, which focuses on 'flipping' deals in the San Antonio and Austin markets.
Geremy is using a creative way to fund his deals; he uses self directed retirement accounts (SDRA) of investors both here in the U.S., and international investors wanting a good yield. The investors self directed retirement account acts as the debt to purchase the property, so the lender (the SDRA) acts as the bank and is in first position. Geremy offers very attractive interest on these short term loans. It is a very creative way for investors to receive a good yield into their SDRA and have all the benefits of owning US real estate.
I also chat about how Geremy has successfully started a real estate business here in the US, no easy achievement!

WRU 005 - BREXIT Is HERE - How Will it Affect Investment in US Real Estate
Last Friday we woke to the news that the United Kingdom will be leaving the EU. The result 52%-48%… The effects of this vote were felt all over the world, including here in the US. David Cameron, the UK prime minister, resigned, an approximate $3 trillion was wiped off the stock market in early trading across the globe; markets did rally particularly in the UK, but I think it was more to do with the central bank buying back stock to avoid a major recession.
This week on the Weekly Wrap Up I talk about the causes which has lead to the exit, how it will affect international investment here in the US, and how we as entrepreneur can deal with the changes that are coming.

RG 008 - Financing Options for International Investors with Matthew Owens
I am chatting to Matthew Owens from OCG Properties about how international investors can obtain financing for their real estate investments, and we examine the benefits of turnkey properties.
Show Notes:
In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights from our conversation with Matthew Owens from OCG Properties:
About Matthew:
- Founder of OCG Properties www.ocgproperties.com a company that specializes in acquiring cash flowing real estate investments for foreign investors.
- Licensed CPA
- Specializes in value-add residential and multi family real estate investments
- Purchased and renovated over 450 properties across the U.S.
Fun Fact:
Matthew is recently a new dad, and this new responsibility has further inspired him to creating long term passive income to help him retire earlier and spend more time with his family.
Nuts and Bolts:
Turnkey properties and financing options for international investors
1. OCG properties produce ‘turnkey’ properties for their international clients.
a. Finding under market cash flowing properties (distressed or run down)
b. Complete renovations to make theses properties ‘rent-ready’
c. Find tenants to rent the properties (get signed rental agreements)
d. Have their local property management team oversee the day to day operations
e. Then OCG on-sells this ‘turnkey’ cash flowing property to their international investors; or form a joint ownership with their clients if needed.
2. OCG saw the need to create a financing structure for international investors who want to buy U.S. real estate.
a. How does it work?
b. International investors are required to put down 50% of the purchase price (PP);
c. OCG will sell one of their turnkey properties to the international investor with the remaining 50% of the (PP) as a loan;
d. OCG Properties becomes the bank that lends the international investor the additional money they need to purchase the property;
e. OCG will only lend on the properties they find and on sell (bringing the financing operation in-house);
3. Typically U.S. lenders look at international investors as more risky as they are so far away; with OCG, they have already sourced the property, they know the quality of the investment so they are confident they can provide 50% financing to help international investors purchase a great cash flowing asset.
4. How do you qualify as international investor?
a. 50% down in cash – bank statements proving investor have the required capital;
b. 2 years of foreign tax statements;
c. 3 months of recent pay stubs;
d. 1003 loan application (standard loan form here in the U.S. it’s a summary of your income and expenses of your daily life);
5. International Tax Treaties: OCG Properties will help international investors understand their countries tax treaty with the U.S. as there are certain withholding requirements – OCG will put you in contact with the best U.S. tax advisors that can help you understand what is involved; simple and easy!
