  • Episode #318: A Data Scientist’s Journey in Real Estate (Best Of Episode)
    Oct 30 2023

    Neal Bawa, otherwise known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily, joins us today for a discussion about how he has used his data science background to make a memorable mark on the real estate industry. Neal’s insatiable curiosity, his persistence, and his drive to disrupt have led to him being in charge of a $1 billion multifamily portfolio with 700 team members, not to mention that he is one of the most in-demand speakers in the commercial real estate space!

We also delve into the structures that Neal has put in place which allow him to do 30 projects a year and work only 35 hours a week, why he prioritizes his mental and physical health, and the plans that he has to give back to society in a very meaningful way.

  • Episode #317: The Process of Managing Your Finances and Protecting Your Livelihood with Tom Laune (Best Of Episode)
    Oct 23 2023

    Welcome to another episode of Passive Income Through Multifamily Real Estate. Joining us in conversation today is Tom Laune, founder of Bulletproof Wealth. Tom kicks off our conversation by giving us an overview of how banks make money and why that is important, before he gives us a definition for another way to process your money: infinite banking, which originated in Austria. He tells the story of losing his high-frequency hearing while working in the music industry, which sparked his realization that it’s so important to protect your livelihood. It was also through this experience that he learned the importance of moving forward one step at a time. Tom’s message comes down to the fact that you have to trust the person you are investing with, and he points us in the direction of a free resource he provides on his website, videos to guide your decision-making and help you to self-educate. In closing, he reminds listeners that changing the way you manage your finances is a process, and it’s not about the rate of return. We hope you join us to hear him pass along these lessons from his life and business today.

    Oct 16 2023

    Weathering the 2008 market crash is no mean feat, and some fared better than others. Talking to us today about the hurricane he faced when the recession began, and the lessons he learned from the process, is entrepreneur, author, real estate trainer, public speaker, and personal coach, Mike Morawski. Mike started his professional career as a pool contractor, but through a series of events, transitioned into real estate in the early 2000s. We find out how he learned all he could from those who had succeeded, and why he prefers diving right in instead of dipping a toe. We hear how Mike moved from residential real estate into syndicates, and the techniques he used to raise capital and recruit investors. Mike also gets candid about the five big mistakes that he made when building the portfolio: growing too fast, being undercapitalized, being overleveraged, not paying attention to the red flags, and finally, not listening to those close to you. From helpful advice regarding being upfront, and paying attention, this first part of the two-part series with Mike is a fascinating listen. So, to learn from one of the greats, tune in today!
