After listening to this podcast recorded for the REI Diamonds show with Dan Breslin, I realized there were too many solid learning points and discussions not to bring this to the Investor Empowerment Radio Show listeners.  In this episode we talk about my start up in the REO industry as well as my RE Investing beginnings, the state of the real estate market and what my personal experience tells me is going to happen next, as well as my worst and best deals.  This is quality stuff, don't miss it!

Doug has been my friend, advisor, co-conspirator and is responsible for many of the successes of not only TANIS Group on multiple levels but also many, many real estate investors we work with.  In his 35 years of brokering investment deals, Doug has seen multiple real estate cycles, hundreds of clients, and thousands of deals.  He is single handedly responsible for building large rental portfolios for dozens of investors just in the short 5 years he has been with TANIS Group Realty.  His wisdom is substantial, his experience is second to none, and he is living proof that real estate can be bought, sold, invested in, and built into a future for anyone who has the dream of doing so.  I am honored to have Doug on the show today, and he is one of my real estate rockstars here at my company that can help investors grow a flipping and rental business using the MLS as well as off-market deals!

Say it with me... 135 rental Units.  Again, 135 rental units.  Steven VanCauwenbergh and I have a lot in common.  We both began our entrepreneurial adventures at an early age, and both initially were into music and creating businesses.  This is an inside look into what it takes to start with nothing and #buildanempire in real estate investing including wholesaling, flipping and landlording.  Steven and I touch on humble beginnings, begging-borrowing-and-stealing to acquire his first houses, and the importance of networking, creating a solid team, and ALWAYS buying ASSETS.  Real Estate Investing can create enough Cashflow to lead to a successful and fruitful way of living without the requirement of a J-O-B and you need to hear the tale of how to do it!
