Revolutionizing Luxury Real Estate and Short-Term Rentals with Stephen Petasky

With higher interest rates and the distress we’re currently seeing in the banking and lending arena, investing in real estate has become a lot more difficult lately. There is, however, a way to bypass banks altogether and actually become the lender. You can do this by investing in mortgage notes. Fred Moskowitz is an experienced speaker, author, and educator on note investing, and he’s here with us today to help us understand this alternative investing strategy. Fred explains how mortgage notes work and why it makes sense to ‘buy the paper’ rather than the property. We’ll discuss the three ways to become a note investor, and review the key metrics you’ll need to understand when acquiring a note.

Be careful when you acquire your short-term rental properties and make sure you know the prevailing laws and rules in the area you’re investing in. Many cities and municipalities are changing their perspective on short-term rentals and putting restrictions in place that may affect your bottom line. It helps to work with these cities, their decision-makers, and elected officials to educate them on the benefits of short-term rentals. The better your relationship is with your community and neighbors, the better your chances for success. Recently at the annual RPOA conference we hosted a panel to discuss these matters. Ryan Servatius has been in real estate for over 20 years, and sits on the NAR national committee for Resort & Second Home Property Specialists, as well as the State & Local Issues Policy Committee.  Ryan owns and operates Big Blue Rentals, managing vacation rental properties in Southwest Michigan, based in South Haven. Brian Westrin serves as Michigan Realtors® General Counsel.  His role encompasses a concentration in fair housing law and education, RESPA compliance and education, policing unlicensed real estate practice, mortgage fraud, and publications. Brian is also an active lobbyist at the capitol in Lansing. Brian also facilitates meetings of the Realtors® Legal Action Committee and handles all requests made for legal action fund assistance.

I have the pleasure today of interviewing a unique and fascinating family of real estate investors. I’ll start with Deven who is 16 years old and controls over 45 units. He published his first book when he was 11 and has spoken in front of live audiences across the country. His brother Ethan is only 13 but just as impressive. He controls 40 units and also published a #1 book when he was 12. Both boys acquired their properties without using any money or credit from their parents. Speaking of their parents, Eric and Lila Wohlwend have been investing for 2 decades and control hundreds of single and multi-family residential properties, as well as oil wells, crypto, and precious metals. They’ve spoken to audiences around the world and have published two #1 bestselling books. I’ve been looking forward to this conversation ever since we met at the RPOA annual conference last February.

Three years ago, my guest was an out-of-work actor who had just lost his wife’s savings on a feature film that he produced. He was collecting unemployment and had a second child on the way. He had very little money in the bank, and the situation couldn’t have been more dire. So how did Cameron Barsanti go from that down-on-his-luck actor to building a $35 million portfolio of self-storage facilities? Today, Cameron is going to tell us how he created a system to acquire ten self-storage facilities across four states by cold-calling mom-and-pop owners. He’ll also talk about his first acquisition, an unpermitted 3-unit on an island in Texas where his main tenant became addicted to crack cocaine during the Covid-19 pandemic. Cameron has a lot of great stories to share, both about his time in the entertainment industry and his transition into real estate investing.

Many of us have been in competitive buying situations with multiple offers on the table for that one special property. It’s never fun to lose out to another buyer, and today’s guest has figured out a way to bypass that process all-together. Jeff Stephens specializes in relationship-based negotiations and prefers to buy his properties off-market and directly from sellers. Jeff believes you need to ‘solve the person, before you solve the deal’, and today he’s going to show us how that works. Jeff is also the founder of “The Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneur” and the host of the popular podcast "Racking Up Rentals". Today Jeff describes how he creates seller financing notes that allow him to substitute the collateralization. That way he can sell the property and still keep the note with the terms he negotiated intact. This might sound confusing at first, but trust me, this is a concept you need to understand. It certainly was an eye-opener for me!
