Guest:  Dave Wolcott is the Founder and CEO of Pantheon Investments.  After serving the country as a Captain in the Marine Corps, Dave and his wife hit the baby lottery-having triplets.  This inspired Dave to challenge the traditional financial planning advice of Wall Street.   Over the past 20 years Dave has founded several business, invested in alternative assets and created The Pantheon Holistic Wealth Strategy: the playbook to becoming ultra wealthy and having freedom of time, money & relationship.

 

Big Idea: Dave & I discuss building wealth by passively investing in superior real estate and alternative assets that provide predictable cash flow, tax efficiency, and upside potential as a reliable alternative to the volatility of the stock market.

 

 

    

Dan Breslin: Today’s guest, Dave Wolcott, is the founder and CEO of Pantheon Investments. After serving the country as a captain in the Marine Corps, Dave and his wife hit the baby lottery having triplets. This inspired Dave to challenge the traditional financial planning advice of Wall Street. Over the past twenty years, Dave has founded several businesses and invested in alternative assets while also creating the Pantheon Holistic Wealth Strategy, the playbook, to becoming ultra-wealthy and having freedom of time money and relationship.

Today, Dave and I discussed building wealth by passively investing in superior real estate and alternative assets that provide predictable cash flow, tax efficiency, and upside potential as a reliable alternative to the volatility of the stock market. Two areas of focus today are oil and gas investing which can generate humongous year 1 tax write-offs and the infinite banking strategy which you may or may not have heard of which is the method of recycling your investment dollar to make it work, at least, twice for every deployment.

 

Dave: Dan, we quadrupled the size of our family. If you could just imagine that. I know you have kids. You just think about what that does to you.

The first thing I did was have a drink. The second thing I did was go and see my financial advisor and said like, “Hey, how am I going to do this? How am I going to really provide for my family, create this financial security that I really need to?” You just move the goalpost 1 mile down the field. It was at that point in time that it really dawned on me that the top 1% were not building their wealth [inaudible], alternative investments, different things.

I launched down this kind of obsessive path to figure out how the top 1% are building their wealth. I started investing in alternative assets, everything from oil and gas to raw land to office space to retail, multifamily. You name it. I also became a business owner. I created a tech consulting company which I took full cycle and exited. Running a business, I learned a lot of things including taxes and creating a proper tax strategy.

Fast forward twenty years, I wrote my book called the Holistic Wealth Strategy which is really an encapsulation of my learnings over the past twenty years to try to really create this comprehensive system of how can you build your wealth outside of Wall Street and investing directly in Main Street and having this comprehensive system that truly can multiply your wealth as well as protect it?

Johnny Wolff on how to Unlock Passive Wealth with Real Estate and Innovation

 

Johnny Wolff on how to Unlock Passive Wealth with Real Estate and Innovation

 

Episode: Join Johnny Wolff, Founder & CEO of HomeRoom Coliving, as he shares the keys to unlocking passive wealth through real estate and how to get a startup off the ground with no money and no experience!

 

Guest: Johnny Wolff, Founder & CEO of HomeRoom Coliving. Johnny’s passion for making cities more accessible and livable for everyone led him to convert a single-family home to a group home for his friends, which sparked the idea of multi-tenant real estate investing – HomeRoom was born.

 

Big Idea: Today we are welcoming back to the show Johnny Wolff, Founder & CEO of HomeRoom Coliving! Johnny was previously on the episode 194 to discuss getting high return on investment with co-living rentals, and today we’re building on that conversation as we explore the strategies and techniques to achieve maximum returns from real estate investments and innovations. We’ll also discuss how to launch a startup without money or experience, and delve into the major changes Gen Z will bring to the way we live and work, such as delaying marriage and living with friends into adulthood.

 

 

    

Dan Breslin: Johnny Wolff is the founder and CEO of HomeRoom Coliving. HomeRoom is a YC, that’s Y-Combinator funded real estate management and investment company that has built the technology and team in several well-selected real estate markets throughout the US to allow investors to amplify their real estate rental returns while minimizing vacancy. This can also be done at a distance which we will discuss on the show today. We are also welcoming Johnny back to the show as he was a guest on episode 194, and a lot has happened in that year and a half or so since he’s been on the show.

Today, we’re going to discuss how to get high return on investment with co-living rentals. We also dive deep on how important market selection and deal size can be in generating long-term investment returns and wealth. And we’re going to dive deep on how he and I both think about market selection as well as deal selection. Let’s jump right in. Welcome back to the REI Diamonds Show, Johnny. How are you doing today?

Johnny Wolff: I’m doing really good, Daniel. Nice to see you again.

Dan: Yeah, for sure. So, for listeners who have been around a while, I can’t remember and I will link to the show notes. I think it was about a year and a half ago maybe that we talked. For anyone who maybe didn’t check that episode out yet, why don’t we begin with the quick elevator pitch of business model, if you will, for HomeRoom in the context of the real estate investor audience and why that might be important to them.

Johnny: So, just a really quick two-sentence description is, we help investors purchase homes remotely and rent out each room separately. And the benefits for investors that are going to rent out each room separately and investment property that they buy, is that rents can be substantially higher because you’re chunking down the space, creating additional services for the for the tenants. And so, we’ve seen an average of between 30 and 60% more rent for investors using this model.

Recession Proof Land Flipping with Real Estate Investor Ray Zhang

 

Recession Proof Land Flipping with Real Estate Investor Ray Zhang

 

Guest: Ray Zhang is a real estate investor who has gone from being homeless when he first came to the U.S. to becoming a remarkable success in flipping land over the last nine years. Today, he teaches others how to succeed in land flipping along with other real estate investments. Join Ray as he shares his secrets to land-flipping success, his journey throughout the way, and even how he uses free tools such as Google Sheets, Zillow, and Redfin to generate profitable deals.

 

Big Idea: Ray is an expert in land flipping, having developed a profitable approach that allows deals virtually anywhere in the world with returns of up to 1000%. He also uses free resources like Google Sheets, Zillow, and Redfin to run his business on the cheap while still reaping large returns. Furthermore, he has a wealth of knowledge on how to target the right areas and use realtors to close deals.

 

 

    

 

Dan Breslin: Welcome to the REI Diamonds Show. I’m your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 211 on flipping buildable lots throughout the US with Ray Zhang. 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. Invite them on the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom, those tactics, mindsets, and methods used to create millions of dollars or more into the business of real estate.

Today’s guest is Ray Zhang. Now, Ray came to the US from China 11 years ago and pretty much started from scratch. Similar to my own history, my own story. Ray had a history in deal-making before he discovered the power of real estate and then the power of real estate offers larger deals than flipping cars and stuff that was found free on Craigslist, much larger spreads in real estate from making larger deals.

On today’s show, Ray and I discussed in great depth and detail his strategy for selecting markets, selecting mailing lists of valuable building lots in those markets, and even his blind offer strategy for making offers in mass via direct mail. Now, this was a really cool and unique episode for me in that, Ray and I are going to talk through details that I think a lot of people simply wouldn’t have the experience to ask about.

I actually learned a ton here on this episode. I had a blast and I hope that the same is in store for you.

Dave Foster on Avoiding Taxes Using 1031 Exchange Real Estate Investing

 

Avoiding Taxes Using 1031 Exchange Real Estate Investing

 

Guest: Dave Foster is a 25-year real estate veteran and coach who has used 1031 exchanges to increase his buying power while minimizing his tax obligations. He has a keen understanding of how to use this under-utilized tax provision to create wealth in real estate.

 

Big Idea: 1031 exchanges can be used to defer taxes and leverage capital when transitioning from one real estate investment to another. With the right strategy, investors can keep their own tax dollars working for them, creating more buying power and limiting their tax obligations. Dave Foster can show you how to unlock the benefits of 1031 exchange real estate investing.

 

 

    

 

Dan Breslin: Welcome to the REI Diamond Show. I’m your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 210 on 1031 Exchange Real Estate Investing to Avoid Taxes with Dave Foster. If you’re in 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. Invite them on the show and then draw out the jewels of wisdom.

Those tactics, mindsets, and methods are used to create millions of dollars and more in the business of the real estate. Dave Foster is an expert in 1031 exchanges. Real estate investors who have mastered the use of 1031 exchanges avoid their investment gains from being taxed heavily at each transaction. The 1031 exchange allows investors to postpone paying income taxes on large real estate profits. This keeps your gains compounding over time, leading to more substantial wealth over time. Think Warren Buffet, who has been a master at Tax Advantage Investing.

Real Estate Development with Karl Krauskopf

 

Real Estate Development with Karl Krauskopf

 

Guest: Karl Krauskopf is a multi family real estate investor and developer based in Seattle, Washington. He is the managing partner of Auroras Investment Group.

Big Idea: Real Estate development, specifically the entitlement process can produce large gains without the risk of construction. Flipping houses is a great place to start in real estate, but can be challenging to scale. This is why many real estate developers progress to development of land and larger projects after finding success in single family homes.

 

 

    

 

Dan Breslin: Welcome to the REI Diamond Show. I’m your host, Dan Breslin, and this is episode 209 on real estate development with Karl Krauskopf. Karl is a multi-family real estate investor and developer based in Seattle, Washington. He is the managing partner of Aurora’s Investment Group. Real estate development, specifically the entitlement process, can produce large gains without the risk of construction. Flipping houses is a great place to start in real estate, but it can be challenging to scale, which is why many real estate developers progress to the development of land and larger projects after finding success in single family homes. On this episode, Karl and I discussed this as his recent or past transition to larger deals and the same transition that I am currently going through myself.

Karl: Sure. Happily. So, how I got into real estate was probably a little bit different from most folks. I got into real estate. That was 10 years back, I was a veteran and working in the healthcare industry. I was a director of corporate strategy and business development. So, that is where my passion lies, which is really around growth partnerships. How do we basically, how do we grow an entity of business?

And what ended up coming to fruition and what bore the real estate endeavour was my wife and I going into a conversation about wanting to start a family, wanting to have a kid, and what better way to start a side business, which would become my future business, is having a kid. So, spent about six months during my wife’s being pregnant, self-educating myself, really learning how to maximise my income, as well as getting into diversifying my income by adding additional streams of revenue. Decided it was time to take the first leap, which was buying a duplex, a remote duplex across the state from me, and with full intentions of rehabbing, refinancing it, and repeating it. Come to find out that I was not the right asset for that. And now I just spent about $75,000, the majority of my at that time, disposable income in putting it, parking it into a duplex that had no direct path for the refinance. So, I started sweating. I was nervous, didn’t know what to do. We were about to have a baby. So I figured what’s the best next step? Well, the best next step, apparently at the time was to flip a massive home. My first flip ever, it was a hoarder home too. Fantastic idea, right? No, it was awesome. I believe it was four dumpsters’ worth, 440-yard dumpsters’ worth, of junk that we took out of this home. All this direct to say back is, I’m working a 40, 50 hour a week job as well as we just had our newborn, and apparently I’m a glutton for punishment.

Franchise Investments with Kim Daly

franchise_investment

 

Franchise Investments with Kim Daly

 

Guest: Kim Daly is an independent franchise consultant with FranChoice. She is also the co-author of Franchising Freedom & Mission Matters Volume 5, Top Tips to Success.

Big Idea: Kim Daly is an expert in franchise investment. Kim Daly has spent the last 20 years helping people achieve financial freedom by enabling them to find the perfect franchise opportunities. Her skill for matching a client’s background, interests, skills, finances and life goals to the ideal opportunity has made her one of the top franchise consultants in the country. On today’s episode we discuss the way some real estate investors transition from house flipping to owning a portfolio of franchise businesses-which might be a great solution in today’s low inventory real estate market. We also discuss the process of getting started and then building to scale, where you reap the real rewards of the franchise business.

 

 

    

 

Dan: Love it. I found a quote online. I think this would be a good place to start. I don’t know if you wrote this or someone wrote it about you, but it said “She worked as a personal trainer and had medical school dreams before entrepreneurship and franchising found her.” Tell me about that.

Kim: That is all true. In franchising, Dan. The question that’s commonly asked is, how did franchising find you? Because nobody really wakes up and says, “Oh yeah, I think I’m going to go get into franchising.” Right? It’s more like you’re looking for some outcome in your life and you stumble upon the advantages of franchising and go, “Ooh, this is a way to get where I want to go.” That’s pretty much what happened to me. There were two things I wanted to do when I was young. One was to become a motivational speaker, but like, how does one do that? You pursue the more logical thing. I was a straight-A student. I’m going to go to medical school and help people. Like I just always desired to be a person of influence, to do something that genuinely improves the lives of other people.

After undergrad, I answered a classified ad in the newspaper that was for a franchise consulting company, not the one I’m part of today. But literally, that classified ad changed my life when I found what franchising as an industry is and does for people, which is, it’s an industry of people helping people. It’s an industry where every single day people are realizing their dreams, living their dreams, just inspiring, and helping each other. I knew that I had found my homeland. I did make a temporary deviation into entrepreneurship because like every good business owner, I think we all think that we can go out there and do it on our own. I tried to do that for five years and figured out how hard it is and mainly how lonely it is and the things that I now help other people realize and learn about in franchising like that.

In a franchise, you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You have the comradery of, not just a corporate office, but all of the other franchise owners that are out there that are part of this brand. Together you are building something. It’s like people who go off to war together often talk about the part they miss about being in the military is the comradery, right? People that go through an intense situation together in anything in life, they’ll reflect back fondly on the people that they went through that experience. Like if you’re bringing a company up to an IPO, right? I think the same thing is true in franchising. We’re all trying to achieve our own individual dreams, but collectively we’re coming together to build a brand altogether and so it has that same sense of camaraderie. Once I came back to entrepreneurship at the very old age of 29, I’m sorry, but once I came back to franchising at 29, I never left. I’ve spent 20 years now as a franchise consultant.

Dan Breslin: Welcome to the REI Diamonds Show. I’m your host, Dan Breslin, and this is Episode 194 on getting high return on investment through co-living with Johnny Wolff.

Johnny Wolff is the CEO and founder of the tech company, HomeRoom. HomeRoom is one of the fastest-growing co-living companies in the US. Johnny founded HomeRoom after a career as an analyst in Silicon Valley and then relocating to Austin, Texas, where, in both markets, he actually lived in co-living situations.

Today’s discussion centers around how investors can obtain outsized returns by investing in co-living housing. Co-living is a trend where many young people prefer living with roommates for both social and economic reasons. This trend exists throughout the US, and a new industry is arising to provide a professionally managed experience to both the residents and the landlords. Shall we begin?

All right. Welcome to the REI Diamonds Show, Johnny Wolff. How are you doing today?

Johnny Wolff: Good, Daniel. Super happy to be here and thanks for having me.

Dan: Nice. It’s an interesting business model. So when the booking agents connected us and floated you as a potential guest, I noticed this like, renting rooms kind of a thing, and it probably would be helpful to hear the origination story. Maybe what was the background, some of your experience, even pre-real estate investing? Certainly, a business model now. And then cap it off with kind of the business model as it stands today.

Johnny: Sure. For the last few decades, I’ve lived with about fifty different roommates. I think it’s kind of ongoing growth. I still live in roommate houses. But it really started after college. I lived in Silicon Valley. I worked in finance for technology companies and startups in the bank. And when you’re in Silicon Valley, you rent rooms. You don’t buy houses because they’re all million dollars.

And so we kind of developed different ways of finding new roommates on Craigslist and betting them, and then having really cool dinner parties. And honestly, our roommate house is like the hub. Some people lived alone, but they were boring. And people that lived in roommate houses, they’re the fun ones, and they had the cool stuff going on.

So I move to Austin, Texas in 2015 to invest in real estate more actively. I have been investing in single-family homes in Texas since 2008, which was about a year after I got out of college remotely and wanted to do that up close. And so I moved to Austin, bought a number of properties there in 2015, and turn them all into roommate houses.

And it was difficult to cash flow. It’s impossible to cash flow in Austin or very difficult. We can do it with home remodel, but it was pretty hard back then, too, with a standard rental and good area. So by renting by the room, I was able to get a lot more rent, and that enabled me to buy more aggressively while I was down there.

I moved to Kansas City in 2018 to kind of do it again with a different type of property. I kind of think of Austin as a really awesome appreciation potential market, but Kansas City is really stable as it gets cash flow. So I wanted to balance my portfolio.

And then when I moved here, I had a lot more trouble finding roommates than I had in Austin and San Francisco and thought maybe it’s about time that someone figures out this whole find-a-roommate situation where it’s not through Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, and it’s not sketchy and weird and uncomfortable.

So that’s why I started HomeRoom in 2018, and we’ve, since then, housed over four hundred roommates in Kansas City, Austin, and Dallas. And yeah, we’re pretty happy campers on the tenant side. Now, we’re partnering with investors to buy these properties in these cities and happy investors as well.
