Would you like to save ten years or so and get right to the financial freedom part of real estate investing? Corey Peterson is finally living what he calls the ‘Sunsets and Palm Trees’ lifestyle, but his path was not an easy one. Like many a real estate investor before him, Corey got into the fix and flip business, and while he looked successful on the outside, he was a wreck on the inside. Running rehabs was running him ragged, and he was spending his Saturdays with contractors—instead of his family. Corey knew he had to do something differently, and that’s when he made the transition from single- to multifamily real estate. Today, Corey is the owner of Kahuna Investments, a multifamily firm that provides its investors with stable cashflow and long-term capital appreciation. Since 2011, Corey has been involved in the ownership and management of commercial properties worth a total of $31M, and he is a sought-after speaker in the multifamily investing space. Corey is the also the host of the Multi-Family Legacy Podcast, and he has been featured on FOX, CBS, ABC and NBC affiliates. Corey joins me to share his story, explaining how ‘Bruce Wayne’ introduced him to real estate and how being fired from his job as a financial advisor inspired his commitment to full-time investing. He walks us through the ‘hustle and grind’ of his years in the fix and flip business, describing the Saturday he missed his son’s game and how that feeling of failure motivated Corey’s transition to multifamily. He addresses how he developed a talent for raising private money and how that translated to a partnership and his first multifamily deal. Listen in for Corey’s advice around skipping the single-family step and shaving ten years off your journey to financial freedom! Key TakeawaysCorey’s introduction to real estate

If you take the time to sit down and get clear on the direction of your life, you may find that growing a business for yourself and your family will afford you the flexibility and time to pursue hobbies, to travel, to spend time with the people you love—and build wealth in the process. More often than not, time invested in reflection is what ultimately inspires action among aspiring multifamily investors. Scott Price and his wife Karen run Bonvolo Real Estate Investments. They have been investors since 2003, owning and managing multifamily, office, retail and land properties across multiple markets in Washington state. From 2003 through 2007, Scott worked as a broker and earned Seattle Magazine’s Best in Client Satisfaction Award three times before returning to his career in project management. He has steadily grown his real estate portfolio while working full-time at Microsoft, but now he is quitting his W-2 job to focus on Bonvolo full time! Scott sits down with me to share the experience that distracted him from pursing real estate after college and how the desire for flexibility ultimately brought him back. He explains why he went straight to multifamily as an investment strategy, how he was able to overcome his inexperience, and the business plan for his first 29-unit property. Listen in as Scott reflects on how a lack of awareness about syndication led to slow growth and addresses his plans to give back to the community now that he does real estate full time.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that a steady paycheck is a safety net. That if we pay our dues, the company we have been loyal to will return the favor, and we will ultimately be rewarded with a hefty 401(k). But Clayton Morris contends that the opposite is true: As long as you for someone else (no matter how prestigious your job may be) consider yourself a line item on a spreadsheet with zero control of your own destiny—who could lose your livelihood at any time, through no fault of your own. Clayton left a lucrative position as the weekend anchor for Fox & Friends to become the Founder and President of Morris Invest, a firm dedicated to helping people build financial freedom through real estate, and the host of the Investing in Real Estate Podcast. No matter how prominent his work in broadcasting, Clayton knew that his life wasn’t truly his own. He used real estate as the vehicle to gain financial freedom, and now he is on a mission to share his secret sauce with aspiring investors. Clayton joins me to explain why he left a successful broadcasting career to pursue real estate full time. He shares how a flight to New Zealand inspired him to start a single-family portfolio and what motivated him to get serious about leveraging real estate to replace his income. Clayton addresses the significance of a strong WHY and the limiting beliefs that held him back early on. Listen in for Clayton’s advice around taking massive action and gaining clarity through whitespace. Key TakeawaysWhy Clayton left broadcasting for real estate
How Clayton decided on real estate
Clayton’s initial investment strategy
When Clayton got serious about real estate
Clayton’s last day of work
Why Clayton is making the shift to multifamily
What held Clayton back

‘The guy or the gal that wants to quit their job and doesn’t is quitting themselves.’ What is the secret sauce that makes a person successful?

Michael also developed Yellow Letters, the largest marketing company for real estate investors, as well as the Alex & Ryan Call Center, a service that turns marketing responses into deals. Today, Michael joins me to discuss his high-level strategy for lead generation.
