I have been training, teaching, mentoring multifamily investors for over a decade and I always talk about how nice multifamily investors are as people. Doug Benson and his lovely wife Debby are case studies in why I say that. Meet one of my oldest students, Doug, and learn how he buys value-add apartments with other people's money, rehabs them, turns them, refinances the people out and owns them himself lock, stock and barrel, all while remaining one of the nicest guys I have ever met!

Mike's a doctor, so I'd consider him smart. And as a smart person, he understands that real estate is not a quick rich business, but he was going to figure out how to bring in more cash flow. 

When Mike first got started in...

Two Multifamily Investors Were Walking Down the Street . . . 

When I talk with Jeff Greenberg, I feel as though I'm talking with an old friend of mine. Jeff was an original student of mine. He first became my student in 2009 and ultimately, made his first deal in 2010.

Over the course of the episode, we talk back and forth between our first deal and our...

Cost Segregation Made Easy for Multifamily Investors

To start, you may be asking yourself what cost segregation is. Cost segregation in the simplest terms is the acceleration of depreciation. Accelerated depreciation is good because it helps you pay a lesser tax to the IRS. It makes sense to do a cost segregation when you can make additional deductions. However, when you're a passive investor your deductions are limited. 

When does it make sense to do a...
