Dan Breslin: Today we are joined by New Orleans Attorney Galen Hair who is an expert in avoiding rental property insurance pitfalls. At any given time, Galen and his team are involved in helping several 100 people obtain full payment from insurance companies for catastrophic losses. A catastrophic loss would be considered a very large claim usually a fire in the context of us real estate investors. The thing is, many rental property insurance policies are actually designed not to pay out completely in those catastrophic events.

During this episode, Galen and I discussed the right process for purchasing a property insurance policy. I personally own dozens of properties and have flipped well over 1000 and I have never bought insurance with the level of due diligence coached by Galen on today’s episode, you may not have the insurance protection that you believe you bought. Let’s begin.

Alright, welcome to the REI diamond show. Galen, how are you doing?

Galen Hair: I’m great. How are you doing?

Dan: Nice. I am also great. We had like 60-degree weather here. It’s December in Chicago, which is unique for us this time of year. So no one’s complaining about the weather right now. Whereabouts are you recording in from and live and invest in that kind of thing?

Galen: Yeah, so our office is based in New Orleans. Essentially, that’s where I live. Spend most of my time here. Unfortunately though, given my line of work, I kind of have to follow disasters where they are. So I will move around, probably head to the Midwest next week because of some tornadoes that just kind of blew through everything during hurricane season, I kind of moved from Hurricane to hurricane but most of my life and work are in New Orleans. And the weather is crazy in New Orleans if anyone follows that. So I think today, it’s pretty good. It’s like 65. But a couple of days ago we were in like the 30s. So it’s just all over the place.

Dan: So just to kind of give people a little bit of background, if you would touch on maybe some of your real estate experience, and then kind of encapsulate what it is that you do in your business model now and how that fits in for real estate investors listening.

Galen: Yeah, so real estate-wise, I’m definitely an amateur. I do identify properties that make sense for us to pick up kind of in and around the New Orleans area. And what I’ll do is buy those, fix them up and actively rent them out. I find that that’s an easier model for me than flipping, although the markets are pretty good here. It produces revenue. So for me, as long as it’s cash positive, it’s an investment that I’m kind of interested in. But I don’t do more than maybe two a year.

Life Lessons on Prosperity with The Wealthy Gardener author John Soforic

Guest: Dr. John Soforic was a once chiropractor with 200k in student debt. He retired at 49 with a retirement income of $240,000. He then wrote a book for his son in college: The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity between Father and Son. The book became an Amazon bestseller, hit #46 worldwide on audible, and has been translated into 6 languages.

Big Idea: Generational Wealth is not just money, equity, or numbers on the balance sheet. One very critical component of wealth his the knowledge on how to steward that wealth, a critical piece missing from so many estate plans. John viewed this challenge in his own life as he sought to inspire his 19 year old son to absorb and learn the wisdom he’d discovered over the decade of building his own wealth. And so The Wealthy Gardener was born.

I listened on audible myself and then found myself immediately recommending the book to a few friends of mine who are early in their real estate investing career. I’d describe this book as the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” for the new generation, but with a greater focus on real estate and the mindsets needed to create a wealthy life. John and I discuss real estate, my juvenile delinquent past, our shared experience of having a child attend Temple University, and of course his book, The Wealthy Gardener. Please enjoy this conversation with John Soforic.

Episode: Build a Portfolio of Seller Financing Cash Flow with Nick Disney

Guest: Nick Disney is the founder of Sell My San Antonio House. His company specializes in flipping houses to owner occupants using seller financing.

Big Idea: Instead of selling conventionally-using bank financing and real estate agents, Nick sells directly to his owner occupant buyers and provides seller financing. These 10%+ interest bearing notes are then sold off to investors who enjoy 30 years of payments receiving 3.4 times their original investment.

If you are into building wealth through real estate investing, you are in the right place. My goal is to identify high-caliber real estate investors and other industry service providers.

No matter where you’re currently located. Let’s begin. All right Avery Carl, welcome to the REI Diamond Show. How you doing today?

Avery Carl: Pretty good. How are you?

Avery: I am recording in 30A, Florida so Panhandle of Florida and it is about 65 degrees.

Dan: Is that cold for you guys there?

Avery: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. We’re getting the polar vortex here in Chicago and we have the ice shelf forming out the window here and it’s cold.

And, obviously, we who can’t afford to buy something in New York City when you’re just starting out so we moved to Nashville so that we could buy a house and have some space.

I was working as a marketing manager in the music business and our real estate agent was trying to get us to buy in this really hip superfast depreciating area of Nashville, and we didn’t really want to do that because we were just coming from Brooklyn really tired of neighbors.
