If I were to know how to start a real estate investment business years ago.
Believe me, I would have done it.
There's no greater way to build wealth and if you wanna start a real estate investment
business you're in a right place.
Let's go.
In this video, I'm gonna walk you through the five things you need to know if you're
gonna launch a real estate investment business and by the way, it is a business.
Most people treat real estate investing like a side hustle and that's why it never grows.
It's just a third income or kinda like a sidecar income and it never grows to the level it
could.
What I'm gonna show you is to actually turn real estate into a real business.
Stick around, till the end I'm gonna share with you my biggest mistake in launching a
real estate investment business so you don't make that mistake.
It cost me thousands and it doesn't have to cost you that.
The very first thing in launching a real estate investment business is you need to decide
what sector of real estate you'll gonna after.
One of the things that kill people early on is they go every form of real estate and then
they turn on a podcast and it's like, "Oh, I should be flipping land", "No, I should
be doing tax leads", and they get absolutely saturated and they never make any progress.
Because they get the whole paralysis by analysis idea.
They're evaluating all the options that are out there and the truth of the matter is real
estate can get overwhelming because there's so many ways to make money with it.
The thing that you need to do is pick 1 specific strategy and do it over and over and over
again.
Til you build a system around it and you don't need to be there for you to still doing deals
then you move to a new strategy.
That's treating real estate like a business.
See, treating real estate like a side hustle is you do everything whatever opportunity
comes.
No, treating it like a business is what we need to do to really make money.
If I own an hpac company and somebody called me up and say, "Hey, would you lay our carpet
in our living room?", I would say no coz that's not what I do.
In our company, we bind multi-family real estate.
When somebody brings us a mobile home park I push that off to one of my mobile home park
investors.
But that's not what I do.
That's not my skill set and here's the thing, if you want to treat it as a business treat
it like any business treats their business.
They don't do everything.
They do something and it's the same with real estate and there's three specific buckets
of opportunity that real estate fits in.
Wholesaling, fix and flips, and buy and hold.
Wholesaling is where you buy a property and you just sell it fast to an investor.
You just charge a fee for finding the deal and brokering that deal.
Sometimes that fee can be $5,000.
Sometimes that fee can be over $100,000.
It depends on how much profit there is in a deal of wholesale.
You need to make sure there's enough meat on the bone for the next investor to make
them wanna buy it from you and then there's a fix and flip.
Where you buy a property, you beautify, you fix it up, and you sell it for more than you
buy it.
There's first two models are very attractive for investors because you get quick shots
of big chunks of cash and then there's the third category.
My very favorite category I think everybody should aspire too and that's the buy and hold
category.
Where you buy a property and it pays you month after month after month, year after year after
year.
Now, under the buy and hold category, there's multiple assets that exist.
You can do multi-family real estate who my company focuses on.
you can do retail real estate storefronts.
You can do office real estate.
You can do mobile home parks.
You can do storage units.
You can do industrial.
You can do a lot of different types of properties.
You can even do single-family homes.
Buy them, hold them and rent them out.
The idea is buying a property and holding it for the cash flow and appreciation not
just for a quick shot of cash I can get.
After you see those options of investing in real estate you just pick the one that fits
what you truly wanna do.
The reason I like the buy-and-hold option is a great passive cash flow.
I'm at the point in my life where I only want things that create freedom and time where
I can spend with my family and friends.
I don't need another job.
I don't think you probably want one either.
So, investing in real estate that pays you over and over again is a great way to invest
and build wealth.
However, if you're just starting and you want some shots of cash in order to build their
business wholesaling, fixing, and flipping is a great way to start.
The next thing you need to choose is the market you're going to invest in and by the way,
the market you're going to invest in is highly dependent based on the strategy you choose
for wholesaling, fixing and flipping, or buying or holding.
You can wholesale and fix and flip and pretty much any market.
But if you're gonna buy and hold the property you wanna make sure that area has people moving
towards it and not an exit from it and as we finish this video.
We also have a video on how to select the right markets.
So make sure you also watch that video so you can understand what market might fit your
strategy.
The third thing you wanna do is locate an investment business name.
Because remember, we're not investing in real estate as a side hustle we're building a business
and businesses have a business identity.
And let me tell you when I launch a business of real estate investing my real estate exploded.
Because the people didn't see me as a guy who just did real estate every now and then.
But it's a full-time investor.
Let me tell you, private investors especially love to invest in people that are full-time.
Most of them will only invest with people that do this as their primary way of income
co they're in it day to day and they truly understand markets and they understand how
to make money in it.
When I launch and I put together a little website and a logo and a business name changes
everything.
It's like people saw me as a real company and it doesn't take that much work and that
much money to do that and it doesn't need any experience.
The creator website, share on your website what you do.
What kind of real estate you invest in so people can see who you are.
But on that website name, on that website and that identity make the entire website
all your marketing about what type of strategy you invest in.
Coz here's the thing, what I've learned is I'm a multi-family real estate investor.
When you go to our website it's all about multi-family.
In fact, multi-family is in our tagline.
Our business name is titanium capital the home for multi-family real estate investing.
That's our company.
Because that's what we invest in.
But guess what?
I've also invested in other asset classes.
But here's the thing, people don't come into your world and see you have a retail option
or an office investment or industrial and say, "Hey, I thought you're only multi-family
investing", no... we don't do that.
We hook into multi-family once they get in we place them on investments that would be
good to make them good money.
But if you're everything to all people often nobody comes in.
Because when you're everything to everybody your nothing to nobody.
But also, a business name has blended credibility.
When you have a business name you have more credibility.
You have taken time to build it and it tells your investors, "Listen, I'm an actual company",
it really builds credibility when I don't have a track record to do it.

So you can get access to all our content on investing in real estate, building businesses,
growing your wealth, and creating financial freedom.
We love helping investors just like you build your investment portfolio.
Let's get back to the content.
The fourth you wanna do is locate capital.
You got to locate capital if you're gonna build an investment business and capital comes
from two sources comes from banks, comes from private people.
So people are gonna invest in your deals, banks will give you the majority of the money.
That's the best way to build a real estate investment businesses.
Now, if you are fixing and flipping property you usually can just use private money.
They can buy those properties, fix them up.
Usually, with a good chunk of cash and you can sell those properties and there's percentage
equity that we both agree on.
So you can just private.
With wholesaling, you don't even need any private capital.
If you're gonna buy and hold properties you're gonna raise capital and leverage banks as
well.
So, as you're building your investment portfolio you need to decide and figure out what strategy
I'm going to use coz that will dictate the source of capital.
So, whether you go with hard money, private money, or institutional money, or bank money.
It will only be dictative but not only the strategy but once you're seeking to build.
If you wanted to start flipping 4-6 deals a month or wholesaling 30-50 deals a month.
Then your capital needs to be different.
If you wanna buy a multi-family property every month you're gonna have to raise a lot of
capital.
That's a lot of property to buy.
So, again, not only your strategy but also your goals will dictate how much capital you
need to worry to get it.
The fifth thing is to start looking for deals.
After you understand your capital.
You know you need a business name.
You know you need all this stuff.
Let's stop sitting around and let's go find some deals that are great deals to launch
our investment career.
Nothing will teach you more than simply doing it.
I learned a lot of information before I start investing in real estate and nothing taught
me more than sitting at a closing table.
Were sitting at the negotiation table or talking to brokers to asking investors for money,
Nothing taught me more than actually doing it.
So when you get done with this video it's time to start searching for deals so you can
get your first one or your next one under contract.
I want to tell you about the biggest mistake I made early on in my investment career.
The biggest I made is I did not hire a property manager until I could afford one and here's
what this did.
It cost me thousands of dollars.
Why did I say thousands of dollars?
I wasn't paying a manager.
It should save me money, right?
It didn't, Because every time I was fixing a toilet, I could have been finding deals.
It cost me thousands of dollars of opportunity cost.
I would have been much better to take a little bit less revenue on each deal, hire a property
manager that handles all of that.
And every time I would be called I could be looking for deals and raising money and continue
to build my portfolio.
Let me tell you, self-managing your property is a key sign that you're a sidecar investor
just a side hustle.
When you hire a property manager and you never touch your properties you're just acquiring
and raising capital.
That tells me you build a real investment business.
You wanna build investment.
You can't self-manage your properties especially when you get successful after applying these
tips you're gonna have too many properties to do that.
