  • EP440 Zombie Loans Are Back with Shante Duffy
    Jun 3 2024

    After the housing crash in 2008, millions of struggling homeowners asked for loan modifications with their lenders. Many of these homeowners were relieved to find out that their lender was willing to forgive their 2nd mortgage as part of the modification process.

    That was all well and good, and it saved borrowers hundreds, if not thousands, in monthly payments.

    But now those loans are coming back to haunt them, and the investment groups that bought up those loans for pennies on the dollar are foreclosing on them in order to sell the property at a profit.

    There are few people who understand this strategy better than my guest today. Shante Duffy is a trusted expert in the note space, and she’s going to help us understand this strategy from the investor’s point of view and offer suggestions to homeowners who might find themselves in this situation.

  • EP438 Investing In Boutique Hotels and Resorts with Jeremy Garcia and Alex Jarbo
    May 20 2024

    We recorded this exciting panel on boutique hotels and resorts at the recent 2024 Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference.

    As the host of this podcast, Brian Hamrick doesn’t often have the opportunity to discuss his own investments. But today he sits down with two of his partners to share how they’ve been applying the short-term rental model to recent acquisitions of a boutique hotel and several resorts, along with the challenges faced, and the strategies employed to find success.

    Jeremy Garcia and his wife Melanie own quite a few vacation rentals in Muskegon Michigan, and several years ago we partnered on building out an 8-unit boutique hotel in downtown Muskegon. We also acquired a 7-cabin, 3-house resort in North Muskegon with beautiful Lake Michigan frontage.

    And we’ve started our own short-term rental property management company called DreamStay – go to www.bookdreamstay.com

    Alex Jarbo lives in Asheville, North Carolina and is a writer on short-term rentals for Bigger Pockets.

    Several years ago, Alex was on the Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Investor podcast talking about his short-term rental A-frames. Brian and Alex kept in touch after recording that episode, and in 2022 Alex got an amazing resort under contract just outside of Asheville with six cabins and a 6-bed, 6-bath Victorian house on 11 acres that can also serve as an event location for weddings and other gatherings.

    You can check that property out at www.engadineInn.com.

  • EP437 Mid-Year Economic Update with Dr. Paul Isely
    May 13 2024

    Everyone is paying close attention to the Federal Reserve and wondering when they will begin lowering interest rates.

    The lower-than-expected jobs report from two weeks ago certainly got people excited, but inflation is still being stubborn.

    What is really going on with our economy, and how can we cut through the noise of the popular media and focus on the data that really matters?

    In economic times of doubt, it helps to have Dr. Paul Isely make sense of what’s really going on and what we should be paying attention to.

    Paul is the Associate Dean and Economist for Undergraduate Programs in the Seidman College of Business at Grand Valley State University. He may not always tell us what we want to hear, but when he speaks, everyone listens.

    Today we'll discuss interest rates, inflation, Climate Migration, West Michigan, AI Robots and the upcoming demographic cliff.

    On Wednesday, August 7th, Paul Isely will be joining us for an in-person luncheon event to dive deeper into how these and other factors are transforming the real estate landscape in West Michigan and beyond, presenting new challenges and opportunities for investors.

  • EP434 From $20 in His Pocket to a $35 Million Portfolio With Jason Engelman
    Apr 22 2024

    When it comes to real estate investing, there are two types of investors – those who choose to actively find, fund, and manage their portfolio, and those who prefer to take a more passive role and let other professionals handle the work and time commitment.

    My guest today has taken on a more active role in buying properties to rehab and rent, while creating opportunities for investors to generate passive income.

    Jason Engelman is the CEO of Freaky Fast Home Buyers & Investments, which currently manages $35 million in assets in six different states including Georgia, Texas, and Ohio.
