James Wachob has scaled his investing business in Memphis Tennessee to having 78 team members and is rehabbing well over 200 houses a year, along with doing new construction.  His investing model is around providing turnkey rentals as well as doing some traditional wholesale deals and flips.  On the turnkey & property management side, his company manages over 1700 rental units for some 500+ investors.  He has built quite a large operation and there is a lot to be learned from what he has to say regardless of if you are a beginning investor or an experienced investor looking to scale your real estate investing business to the next level.

  3. Build that team because that team is the only thing which will make you scale!

Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Advisor & attorney Garrett Sutton stops by the podcast show to share his extensive expertise on asset protection strategies for real estate investors.  Learn to protect your investment portfolio whether you are a small investor with just one or two properties locally, or a real estate mogul with millions of dollars worth or property spread across multiple states.  This is your chance to learn from a true expert who is highly regarded in the real estate investing community. You can even have your asset protection setup by the same attorney used by Robert Kiyosaki.

 

Key Takeaways

  1. The first line off defense against a lawsuit is to have good business practices to begin with.
  2. Real estate investors are always at risk of a lawsuit, whether it be from a tenant, a worker on a rehab project or even if you are in a car accident.
  3. Attorneys like to go after insurance policies first. If there are too many obstacles in the way of them collecting, they are less likely to pursue a case against you.
  4. You can have multiple layers of asset protection by forming an LLC in a state which has very strong corporate laws; and the cost can be minimal.

Because the wholesaling investor has an "equitable interest" in purchasing the property, they do not need a real estate salesperson license to sell the purchase contact.
  • Double Closing: A real estate closing technique which involves a first closing between the owner of the property and the wholesaler, and then a second separate closing between the wholesaler and the end-buyer; the deed from the seller is to the wholesaler and then the wholesaler signs a deed to the end-buyer. A double closing involves two sets of closing documents and two deeds.
  • Single Closing: When wholesaling, a "single closing" means the deed passes from the seller to the end-buyer and the wholesaler gets an assignment fee. There is usually one set of closing documents and one deed. Conducting the closing can be separated into two meetings; one where the seller signs the closing documents and one where the end-buyer signs, ensuring the seller and end-buyer do not meet face-to-face. 
  • VAs / Virtual Assistants: Workers who perform tasks remotely from home by computer or phone, usually from another country.
