EP306 Three Disruptive Trends that will Drive Real Estate in the Coming Decade, with Neal Bawa

My guest today has a prestigious Ivy League education and high net worth asset management background with Bridgewater Advisors. But in 2015 he left all that behind to launch his own real estate development company in his hometown of Philadelphia. Since then, he’s renovated over 300 rental properties across the country using the BRRRR strategy. Brian Grimes is also the founder of 24/7 Cash Flow University where he teaches students to full-gut renovate, acquire, and stabilize cash flowing rental property portfolios while revitalizing class C neighborhoods.  He’s also come up with a strategy that has 3X’d his cashflow and he’s going to share it with us today. It involves co-living, and Brian is going to get specific about what he does to his properties to make this a successful strategy.

My guests today are a husband and wife team who started investing in 2018 and have found financial freedom through buy-and-hold rental properties. Now, Tiffany and Eric Vogel have released their first book called “The Pathfinder’s Journey: The Key to Your Dream Life Through Real Estate Investing” to encourage new investors to begin their own real estate journey to their dream life. Tiffany and Eric will walk us through their process from the beginning… How they spent thousands of hours listening to podcasts, training, and going to seminars, how they found their first BRRRR project and the private money to acquire it, how they levelled up to a 3-unit, and how they eventually achieved financial freedom and were able to leave their W-2 jobs. We’ll also discuss the different talents each of them brings to the table—Eric with his ability to take action and do a lot of the manual work, and Tiffany with her project management skills and emphasis on Gantt charts. You’ll also learn the meaning of GETMO (good enough to move on) and how Eric and Tiffany rely on that mindset to get past their perfectionist tendencies.
