Passive Investing Through Raw Land Deals



Guest: Mark Podolsky, Real Estate Investor and Author

Mark Podolsky used to fear Fridays every week as an investment banker because he knew Monday would come around again too soon. He learned from a new employee about his side hustle of buying parcels of land at tax deed auctions and flipping them online with 300% returns. Mark took $3,000 of car repair savings, bought 10 lots and sold them for $1200 each, he was hooked and has been buying and selling raw land full time since 2001.

Now having completed over 5,000 land deals Mark’s company, Frontier Equity Properties, has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. He is also the author of Dirt Rich, the ultimate guide to helping you build a passive income model in raw land investing.

Mark’s passion for investing in land, for creating wealth efficiently and for helping other people develop their inner geeky entrepreneur has led him to do two things he never expected to do in life.

You will learn about: – Ins and outs of tax deed deals – Raw land market insights, investing and its challenges – Concepts of the tax deed auctions investing model – The raw land buying process and financials

Assisted Living a Real Estate Investing Mega-Trend



Guests:  Gene and Manny Guarino, Real Estate Investors

Gene and Emmanuel (Manny) Guarino are father and son real estate investors based in Arizona who focus on the growing residential assisted living investment space. Gene got started in real estate investing at an early age and over the years completed a variety of investments including buy and hold, flips and commercial.

Around 7 years ago he got started in residential assisted living, which is running the day to day living needs for a group of seniors inside a residential home. One of the key differences between this and larger eldercare homes is there is not a medical component to the daily care.

Manny was attracted to the business after seeing his father being recognized by Robert Kiyosaki as ‘THE Residential Assisted Living Guy’. He is now one of the top realtors in this space in the area and also works on other areas of the business.

The family personally owns and operates three care homes in Phoenix and Scottsdale and through a planned merger and other investments they are invested in around 200 spaces in assisted living buildings across the country.

Gene has over 30 years of experience in real estate investing and business and now is focused on the mega-trend of senior assisted housing. Having trained tens of thousands of investor/entrepreneurs over the past 25 years, 5 years ago he looked to specialize in helping others take advantage of this opportunity, founding the Residential Assisted Living Academy. Both Gene and Manny teach, coach and mentor individuals, who are looking to get into the industry, the ins and outs of this business. You will learn about: – Why assisted living is becoming a mega real estate investing trend – Understanding what is needed for a property and local regulations – Different types of real estate investing models for residential assisted living – What expenses look like and the cash flow upsides of this strategy – Why more people are not looking at this investing strategy and why you should

Building a Real Estate Investing Business with 3 Separate Paydays Per Property



Chris has been in real estate for over 25 years and his team, based out of Rhode Island and students across the US, acquires 5-10 properties each and every month without using any of their own money, through owner financing or lease-purchase (rent to own), the latter of which creates 3 separate paydays totalling around $75,000.

Guest:  Chris Prefontaine, Real Estate Investor and Author

Chris has been in real estate for over 25 years and his team, based out of Rhode Island and students across the US, acquires 5-10 properties each and every month without using any of their own money, through owner financing or lease-purchase (rent to own), the latter of which creates 3 separate paydays totalling around $75,000.

He and his family team have done over $80 million in real estate transactions. They mentor, coach, consult, and actually partner with students around the country (by application only) to do exactly what they do.

Chris’ past experience includes the construction, mostly during the 1990s, of over 100 single-family and duplex homes. He owned a Realty Executives Franchise (Massachusetts 1994-2000) as broker/owner which maintained high per-agent standards and eventually sold to Coldwell Banker in 2000.

During the 2000s his focus included coaching $½ million and higher REALTORs® in order to scale and automate their business throughout the US and Canada. He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and “raise the roof” projects, converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods.

Chris is a big advocate of continuing education and participates regularly in high-end mastermind groups, as well as consults with private mentors. His goal is to continue to have his adult children involved in the business to grow to 50+ properties and 125 working students around North America.

You will learn about:
– Lease purchases (rent to own) strategies
– Investing processes in the US
– Purchase agreements
– Joint venture screening tips
– Tips on finding deals
