Dwan Bent-Twyford]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Big Mike Fund Podcast, host Mike Zlotnik sits down with Dwan Bent-Twyford, affectionately known as The Queen of Short Sales™ and host of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever.</p>



<p>Dwan Bent-Twyford, America’s Most Sought-After Real Estate Investor™, started as a broke single mom who had just been fired from Denny’s — and went on to personally flip over 2,000 properties while teaching thousands of people how to achieve financial freedom. Today, she is recognized as the nation’s #1 expert on short sales and foreclosures. She has authored three bestsellers, including Short Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing, How to Sell a House When It’s Worth Less Than the Mortgage, and the New York Times bestseller SuccessOnomics co-written with Steve Forbes. Dwan has also been featured on Fox &amp; Friends, MSNBC, Naomi’s Good Morning, Colorado &amp; Company, and numerous media outlets nationwide.</p>



<p>In this conversation, Dwan shares her inspiring 35-year journey — from overcoming hardship as a single mother, to pioneering short sales before they had a name, to now leading a full-scale revitalization project in Clinton, Iowa. She and Mike discuss the philosophy of people before profits, the power of mentorship, the lessons learned from rehabbing communities, and what it truly means to build both wealth and legacy through real estate.</p>

He also shares good strategies and opportunities that hold a lot of promise for times like this.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Paul Moore is the Founder and Managing Partner of Wellings Capital. After a brief “retirement” in his early 30s, Paul began investing in real estate in 2000 to protect and grow his own wealth. He completed over 85 real estate investments and exits, appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens of rental properties, and developed a subdivision. After completing three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, Paul narrowed his focus on commercial real estate in 2011. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Paul is the author of The Perfect Investment: Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing and Storing Up Profits: Capitalize on America&apos;s Obsession with Stuff by Investing in Self-Storage. He also co-hosted a wealth-building podcast called How to Lose Money and he’s been a featured guest on 250+ other podcasts including the BiggerPockets Podcast, The Real Estate Guys, and Entrepreneur on Fire.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Join us to find out how to be on the safer side in times of uncertainty and what you can do to minimize risk. Don’t miss it!&lt;/p&gt;

You should be concerned but you don’t have to panic. Our guest, Paul Moore, shares with us ideas that could greatly help in riding out this part of the market cycle.</p>



<p>Paul Moore is the Founder and Managing Partner of Wellings Capital. After a brief “retirement” in his early 30s, Paul began investing in real estate in 2000 to protect and grow his own wealth.</p>



<p>He completed over 85 real estate investments and exits, appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens of rental properties, and developed a subdivision. After completing three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, Paul narrowed his focus on commercial real estate in 2011. </p>



<p>Paul is the author of The Perfect Investment: Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing and Storing Up Profits: Capitalize on America's Obsession with Stuff by Investing in Self-Storage. He also co-hosted a wealth-building podcast called How to Lose Money and he’s been a featured guest on 250+ other podcasts including the BiggerPockets Podcast, The Real Estate Guys, and Entrepreneur on Fire.</p>

You should be concerned but you don’t have to panic. Our guest, Paul Moore, shares with us ideas that could greatly help in riding out this part of the market cycle.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Paul Moore is the Founder and Managing Partner of Wellings Capital. After a brief “retirement” in his early 30s, Paul began investing in real estate in 2000 to protect and grow his own wealth.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;He completed over 85 real estate investments and exits, appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens of rental properties, and developed a subdivision. After completing three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, Paul narrowed his focus on commercial real estate in 2011. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Paul is the author of The Perfect Investment: Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing and Storing Up Profits: Capitalize on America&apos;s Obsession with Stuff by Investing in Self-Storage. He also co-hosted a wealth-building podcast called How to Lose Money and he’s been a featured guest on 250+ other podcasts including the BiggerPockets Podcast, The Real Estate Guys, and Entrepreneur on Fire.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the event of an economic downturn, should you be speculating or investing? Which assets will stand the test of time? Tune in as Paul and Mike discuss these and more!&lt;/p&gt;

<p><strong>Quotes:</strong></p>
<p>“We got into the self storage business in 2015 with some institutional partners. We liked the space because it's scalable, repeatable, and predictable. The data at the time suggested that it was historically resistant to downturns.” – <strong>Jake Vanderslice</strong></p>
<p>“One of the main things we like about the asset classes, the granularity of the income streams, you're relying on (in our case) thousands of people to pay us tiny bits of rent every month. Versus in retail projects, for example, we have a brewery paying us $15,000 a month and they're going to pay or not.” – <strong>Jake Vanderslice</strong></p>
<p>“The old adage that cash is king is still important, but I think today cash flow is king, and people just really want predictable repeatable dividends. If you can create that that's compelling” – <strong>Jake Vanderslice</strong></p>
<p>“Commercial banks are still lending. We really haven't seen any other changes beyond just our maturity dates and that 4% on our interest rates.” – <strong>Jake Vanderslice</strong></p>
<p>“The thesis is this as the interest rates drop, the cap rates should match. Directionally, we have COVID which is terrible. It's a pandemic and we’re all suffering health-wise and economically, but on the other side, you've got drop rates. What the Fed has done is created an environment where investors are willing to take lower cap rates because the cost of capital is cheap.”  – <strong>Mike Zlotnik</strong></p>
<p>“We're dealing with a yield-starved environment with rates having trouble to where they are. There are really no great alternatives to Wall Street. The fund yields are very low unless you're dealing with really junk bonds and you're buying into high-risk stuff, or if you are looking for conservative cash flow. It's hard to find..” – <strong>Mike Zlotnik</strong></p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16:00&lt;/strong&gt; - Denver, COVID, and their status&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;19:30&lt;/strong&gt; - The risk of oversupply and the challenge of retail conversions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quotes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We got into the self storage business in 2015 with some institutional partners. We liked the space because it&apos;s scalable, repeatable, and predictable. The data at the time suggested that it was historically resistant to downturns.” – &lt;strong&gt;Jake Vanderslice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“One of the main things we like about the asset classes, the granularity of the income streams, you&apos;re relying on (in our case) thousands of people to pay us tiny bits of rent every month. Versus in retail projects, for example, we have a brewery paying us $15,000 a month and they&apos;re going to pay or not.” – &lt;strong&gt;Jake Vanderslice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The old adage that cash is king is still important, but I think today cash flow is king, and people just really want predictable repeatable dividends. If you can create that that&apos;s compelling” – &lt;strong&gt;Jake Vanderslice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Commercial banks are still lending. We really haven&apos;t seen any other changes beyond just our maturity dates and that 4% on our interest rates.” – &lt;strong&gt;Jake Vanderslice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The thesis is this as the interest rates drop, the cap rates should match. Directionally, we have COVID which is terrible. It&apos;s a pandemic and we’re all suffering health-wise and economically, but on the other side, you&apos;ve got drop rates. What the Fed has done is created an environment where investors are willing to take lower cap rates because the cost of capital is cheap.”  – &lt;strong&gt;Mike Zlotnik&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We&apos;re dealing with a yield-starved environment with rates having trouble to where they are. There are really no great alternatives to Wall Street. The fund yields are very low unless you&apos;re dealing with really junk bonds and you&apos;re buying into high-risk stuff, or if you are looking for conservative cash flow. It&apos;s hard to find..” – &lt;strong&gt;Mike Zlotnik&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Pancreatic Cancer has just a 6-8% survival rate, and so now I’m almost ten years, actually this November, we’ll be celebrating my 10-year anniversary as a survivor. I’m one of the very, very lucky few. And so, when I look at opportunities to join you on your podcast, opportunities to raise capital, opportunities to do deals, my focus is creating legacy for my wife, my kids, but also to have impact on other people because you never know, you never, never know, Mike, the moment, the day, your number will be called, and your life will be thrown into upheaval. One of my passions is helping people understand that they’ve got to do what they’re passionate for right now, don’t wait, get started.” – Josh Cantwell&lt;/p&gt;

this episode of the BigMikeFund Podcast, host Mike Zlotnik (Big Mike) sits down with real estate powerhouse Chris Prefontaine, Chairman and Founder of Smart Real Estate Coach®. Chris is a 4x best-selling author, Forbes Business Council Member, and a 3-time Inc. 5000 Honoree who has led one of the nation’s fastest-growing companies. With more than three decades of experience and hundreds of creative-finance real estate transactions under his belt, Chris has built a thriving community that empowers investors to succeed in any market.</p>



<p>Mike and Chris dive deep into the world of creative real estate, exploring how Chris rebuilt his business after the 2008 crash and why strategies like lease-purchase, owner financing, and subject-to deals remain powerful tools for today’s investors. Chris explains how his “buying on terms” approach works in both residential and commercial markets, why many sellers prefer creative structures over traditional cash offers, and how he and his family continue to complete deals weekly—while coaching students across 80+ markets to do the same.</p>



<p>They also discuss the importance of mentorship, real-world deal support, and proper expectations for long-term success. Chris shares how the Wicked Smart Community helps investors avoid common pitfalls, accelerate learning through hands-on deal flow, and build credibility through unique certifications.</p>



<p>Whether you’re new to creative real estate or looking to sharpen your strategy, this conversation offers practical insights, mindset shifts, and a clear look at how to thrive in any economic climate.</p>

Fortunately, ‘going pro’ on the latter quickly dissipated from his goals, because otherwise, we will not have seen Curtis become the wealth management expert that he is today. Not shying away, Curtis continues to make multiple points, financial this time, evident in his FOUR objectives of Financial Planning, FIVE areas of maximum efficiency, and the FOUR things banks want from you. He just loves racking up those numbers. Curtis believes in the fundamentals and he’s come up with FIVE major principles in creating your financial plan. It all comes down to how the value is created and how &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;influence&lt;/em&gt; that value. These are financial foundations that everyone should learn. Luckily, we have ‘the Contrarian’ himself educating us on this and setting you up in financial planning on your way to financial freedom.&lt;/p&gt;

With Ray Mazzie]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this segment, we have <strong>Ray Mazzie</strong>, the managing director of Southern Waters Capital, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — sharing his expertise in real estate development and private equity.</p>



<p>Ray has a diverse background with a dual degree in economics and political science, an MBA, and being a licensed attorney in Florida. He focuses on sourcing deals and partnering with private equity shops and large developers to take projects vertically. His firm is willing to take on entitlement risks and positioning parcels for future development, leveraging their knowledge and expertise to capture value.</p>



<p>Ray highlights the importance of arbitraging between main street sellers and Wall Street buyers to enforce appreciation through entitlements and positioning deals for future growth. With this strategy, he has successfully shifted his firm's focus from securities investing to real estate development, with over 1700 units developed in just two and a half years.</p>



<p>Despite their rapid growth, Ray acknowledges that there is still a lot of work to be done, but he remains excited about the future of his firm and the opportunities that lie ahead.</p>

Who would not want to live in historic townhouses in the 21st century? Best of both worlds, right? In this episode, Eric Goodman shares the shift in the market where the largest purchase buyers are American buyers and not bought by foreign money. Post-Covid, the market takes into consideration of privacy, safety, and security which are mostly offered in newly renovated townhouses like the 14-Million-dollar project of Eric&apos;s company. The premium is paid from the townhouse market wherein a very large number of buyers seen are willing to pay $50-70 million price targets.&lt;/p&gt;

Smith]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>There is a market for people buying land in bulk and then turning around and selling each individual piece at a profit. It's a fundamentally sound business because lands don't depreciate, especially because land does not depreciate. Land assets actually appreciate over time, so the process is simple. Buy land in bulk and sell it at a higher price by adding improvements like roads and utilities. By creating subdivisions where there previously were none, Douglas Smith has built a successful business from this principle. His fund hit on such a solid and unique niche and we just had to have him on the show. As always, Big Mike dissects it all with his high-level breakdown. Watch the episode where he talks about buying land in bulk and a bit of coke to start it all.</p>

Paul is a Full-Time Real Estate Investor, top-selling author, coach, and someone who lends money for real estate projects. He helps both new and experienced investors understand how to make deals in real estate. But his bigger mission is to help people who want to escape boring jobs and find success in their own businesses.</p>



<p>Back in 2015, Paul decided he didn't want to work in a big company anymore. He switched to real estate and quickly learned how to do well. Over five years, he became an expert at buying houses to rent out and making money while he slept. In a year and a half, he locked in 20 deals. Today, he teaches others how to find good deals, start businesses, and get money for their projects. </p>



<p>Paul is also the friendly voice behind the My Freedom Foundry Podcast, Ready Investor One podcast where he shares tips and tricks for people who want to break free from regular jobs. Paul's goal is to help 1,000 people quit their day jobs and earn six figures using his clever Freedom Foundry plan. In addition, he is the visionary force driving PDT Coaching and Consulting.</p>

From the surge in private lending to opportunities in small-balance commercial (think strip centers and self-storage), Wendy and Bill share why corrections breed opportunity. They also discuss co-living trends, economic cycles, and why an indomitable spirit is key to thriving. Don’t miss this roadmap to resilience and wealth in uncertain times!&lt;strong&gt;HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPISODE&lt;/strong&gt;00:00 - Welcome to the BigMikeFund Podcast00:18 - Intro: Bill Fairman &amp;amp; Wendy Sweet Return&lt;/p&gt;

<p><strong>Quotes: </strong></p>
<p>“Take advantage of [gas cards] and use it and build your business profile. First of all, you’re not using your personal credit. The utilization directly impacts your personal credit score. The less you use it, the stronger your score will be. So it’s there when you really need it.” - <strong>Steve WIble</strong></p>
<p>“Anyone who lived through ‘08, we’ve seen this before. We know what the end result is. In the end, [a lender’s] job is to lend money.” - <strong>Steve WIble</strong></p>
<p>“[CreditSuite] is not a sales company, we want to educate first. If you’re unsure, just reach out” - <strong>Steve WIble</strong></p>
<p>“It’s been very difficult to operate in a government mandated and regulated environment.” - <strong>Mike Zlotnik</strong></p>
<p>“COVID has differentiated between the winners and the losers in a very big way.” - <strong>Mike Zlotnik</strong></p>

Steve is a Marine Corps veteran with a deep background in real estate sales, flipping and property management, print manufacturing, and of course, building and obtaining business credit. He has founded and led multiple successful companies and had as many as 300+ rental properties in his portfolio. Our conversation today is about business credit, fundability factors, credit rate terminology, and about COVID and how it has affected lending and credit scores.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minute Markers:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;00:20&lt;/strong&gt; - Hello and Welcome&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01:06&lt;/strong&gt; - A little about Steve&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;03:00&lt;/strong&gt; - Fundability factors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;06:30&lt;/strong&gt; - The process of how Steve works with clients&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;08:00&lt;/strong&gt; - Business versus Personal Credit Card&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12:35&lt;/strong&gt; - Where do people get credit today?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15:35&lt;/strong&gt; - Cash flow financing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18:00&lt;/strong&gt; - Typical terms on introductory rate credit cards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21:50&lt;/strong&gt; - Where to find Steve’s services&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;24:00&lt;/strong&gt; - How does the government know how to run your business?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;27:00&lt;/strong&gt; - Final comments, Final thoughts&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30:43&lt;/strong&gt; - Thank you for listening to the Big Mike Fund Podcast&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quotes: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Take advantage of [gas cards] and use it and build your business profile. First of all, you’re not using your personal credit. The utilization directly impacts your personal credit score. The less you use it, the stronger your score will be. So it’s there when you really need it.” - &lt;strong&gt;Steve WIble&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Anyone who lived through ‘08, we’ve seen this before. We know what the end result is. In the end, [a lender’s] job is to lend money.” - &lt;strong&gt;Steve WIble&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“[CreditSuite] is not a sales company, we want to educate first. If you’re unsure, just reach out” - &lt;strong&gt;Steve WIble&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It’s been very difficult to operate in a government mandated and regulated environment.” - &lt;strong&gt;Mike Zlotnik&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“COVID has differentiated between the winners and the losers in a very big way.” - &lt;strong&gt;Mike Zlotnik&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

He quickly discovered that bouncing from chair to chair wasn't an option as he refocused his attention to what mattered most — his family. As for him, too many dentists and professional practice owners allow their practice to run them, instead of structuring their practice and investments to work for them.

As a real estate investor, Eric Brewer always had an eye for lucrative deals. He was constantly searching for new ways to gain an edge over his competitors and maximize profits. After years of experience, Eric developed a unique method that allowed him to offer more for a property than anyone else, avoid costly expenses, and have multiple options for selling it.</p>



<p><strong>The Brewer Method™</strong> is all about offering more for a property than your competitors are and avoiding significant expenses. Eric Brewer teaches investors how to negotiate effectively with sellers, how to structure deals creatively, and how to use the right tools to find the best properties.</p>



<p>By the end of this episode, listeners will have a clear understanding of this approach and how it can benefit their real estate investment business. </p>



<p>Tune in for another great episode!</p>

As a real estate investor, Eric Brewer always had an eye for lucrative deals. He was constantly searching for new ways to gain an edge over his competitors and maximize profits. After years of experience, Eric developed a unique method that allowed him to offer more for a property than anyone else, avoid costly expenses, and have multiple options for selling it.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Brewer Method™&lt;/strong&gt; is all about offering more for a property than your competitors are and avoiding significant expenses. Eric Brewer teaches investors how to negotiate effectively with sellers, how to structure deals creatively, and how to use the right tools to find the best properties.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;By the end of this episode, listeners will have a clear understanding of this approach and how it can benefit their real estate investment business. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Tune in for another great episode!&lt;/p&gt;

Join us as we talk about what's happening in the self storage space. Before getting into self storage Fernando worked at Dow Chemical, a Fortune 50 company. He rolled out a flagship product estimated to gross $1B in global revenues. When he was 23, Fernando started doing real estate in the residential side with wholesaling and acquiring residential rentals.

<p>Matt explains that the tool automates the process of creating pooled investment funds, offering advice and guidance on all aspects of running a real estate-based investment fund. He notes that, historically, people have turned to lawyers to set up funds, but their advisory service offers greater value as it brings advice on all aspects of fund management, including legal, accounting, origination, acquisitions, asset management, capital raising, and investor relations. The administration business of Fairway America came after the advisory business.</p>



<p>Fund Builder is designed to streamline the process of setting up investment funds, making it less expensive, less time-consuming, and more accessible. Burk mentions that their advisory component is still in place, but Fund Builder automates the process and makes it quicker.</p>

Due to the pandemic, demand has wildly increased and continues to do so. People need somewhere to store their items. From small mom-and-pop shops to multi-location operations, self-storage facilities have evolved. Scott has seen first-hand the influx of this self-storage boom and its subsequent growth during this global crisis. Even now, after the onset of a recession, he continues to see success in the industry. Self-storage is only becoming more popular but what’s the outlook? How sustainable can this be? Especially considering the inflationary environment, how much longer will self-storage be profitable? Big Mike and Scott break down the forecast and emphasize why you shouldn’t miss out on this industry boom.&lt;/p&gt;

It’s my pleasure and privilege to welcome back to the show, Chris Miles who is an Infinite Banking expert. Today we’ll be talking about what life insurance is, the trends in the market, different forms of life insurance, and we’ll briefly touch on the stock market and other types of investments.</p>
<p>Chris Miles, is the “Cash Flow Expert.” He is a leading authority on how to create cash flow and lasting wealth for thousands of his clients, entrepreneurs, and others internationally. After working as a traditional financial advisor and stock coach for several years, Chris came to a stark realization that the financial advising industry was not showing anyone how to quickly and safely become financially prosperous today. After leaving that industry, he was able to retire when he was 28, and has since worked to teach his effective, unique strategies, for companies like Freedom Fast Track and Garrett Gunderson, and now Money Ripples, while exposing the popular myths around money that have kept so many from enjoying financial freedom and peace of mind.</p>

<p><strong>Quotes:</strong></p>
<p>“Infinite banking is just a fancy term that people use to let your money flow in and out of life insurance, specifically whole life. What most people don't realize—most people all know what term is. It's death insurance. You pay into it, you die, and you finally get paid. Actually, you don't. Your heirs get paid. You get nothing. You're dead.” – <strong>Chris Miles</strong></p>
<p>“I would agree with the trend, that as rates are very low, life insurance companies can only pay lower returns. If they go into negative, it'll be a little bit less. The primary benefit is not just the 4.5%, 5%, or even 5.5% return, but it's access to the capital and ability to take action with that cash. You're basically self banking.” – <strong>Chris Miles</strong></p>
<p>“You might find a rapper. A little kid rapper that's named Chris Miles. That is not me, I promise.” – <strong>Chris Miles</strong></p>
<p>“Here's the thing I can promise you. There is no product offered by a financial adviser, including life insurance, that will make you financially free..” – <strong>Chris Miles</strong></p>
<p>“That's why I'm the anti because I'm against mutual funds, from the standpoint of trying to retire off of them and that sort of thing. If you want to have some in your portfolio, fine. But don't bank on that. You do need help, and that's where finding someone who can say, ‘Hey, let's look at your whole picture here. Where do we find money,’ and ‘How do we turn out a way to help you make more?’” – <strong>Chris Miles</strong></p>
<p>“That's one of the problems with the stock markets. One of the major problems, the Ps being so high that the incomes and the distributions of dividends are just out of control.” – <strong>Mike Zlotnik</strong></p>

And when you fill a niche, you're entering a business with limited competition. Bill Fairman is going to share the secret sauce, where you're working with larger companies instead of competing with their rates. This is exactly what Bill and his company Carolina Hard Money did. They stayed to their roots, found a niche, and leveraged the resources of the big players. Not every recipe is going to be perfect. Some lenders have found niches to fund loans that most traditional banks don't or can't fund. There's always that possibility. There are lots of opportunities out there, you have to be a little bit creative. In this episode, we get creative with Bill as he breaks down the possibilities of the lending niche with Big Mike.</p>

And when you fill a niche, you&apos;re entering a business with limited competition. Bill Fairman is going to share the secret sauce, where you&apos;re working with larger companies instead of competing with their rates. This is exactly what Bill and his company Carolina Hard Money did. They stayed to their roots, found a niche, and leveraged the resources of the big players. Not every recipe is going to be perfect. Some lenders have found niches to fund loans that most traditional banks don&apos;t or can&apos;t fund. There&apos;s always that possibility. There are lots of opportunities out there, you have to be a little bit creative. In this episode, we get creative with Bill as he breaks down the possibilities of the lending niche with Big Mike.&lt;/p&gt;

If I'm pronouncing it correct. If I'm butchering you up, forgive me. I've tried a few times. He originally is from Poland, right? He's Polish. His family is from Poland. And remind, just a couple of words about you, when you came to the country, a little bit of your story, and then we'll jump into insurance adjusting. This is your great expertise, and we'd love to hear what's going on. It's a very hot topic, given what's been going on with the natural disasters and all the crazy stuff going on.</p>

He breaks down today's "Jesus moment" for overleveraged owners—flat rents, oversupply, and the $1.5T debt wall—while urging disciplined underwriting, capacity checks, and patience for 2025-26 bargains.</p>



<p>Whether navigating builder distress, Fed delays, or post-QT liquidity waves, Gino's no-BS wisdom on cash flow, operations, and long-term legacy will arm you to surf market cycles like a pro.

<p><strong>Intro/Outro:</strong> Welcome to The BigMikeFund Podcast, where you'll learn about advanced wealth building strategies from real estate investing to creating massive ROI and secure retirement profits. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab a notepad, and lean in. Because Big Mike has got the mic, starting now.

<strong>Mike Zlotnik:</strong> Welcome to The BigMikeFund Podcast. I'm the Big Mike, Mike Zlotnik, and today it is my pleasure and a privilege to welcome back for the episode two of this spring 2024 recording, Fernando Angelucci. Hey, Fernando. </p>



<p><strong>Fernando Angelucci:</strong> Hey, Mike. Thanks for having me back. </p>



<p><strong>Mike Zlotnik:</strong> Yeah, thanks for coming back on the podcast. Previous discussion went really well. We talked about the international situation, how you are in South America. You've traveled the world. You look at storage in other parts of the world. You've seen inflation being way higher than the U. S. And then now let's come back to the U. S. experience in the self storage industry. This is kind of your bread and butter. So yeah, in the world outside of the U. S. use of storage is a lot lower demand.</p>



<p>Versus where the U. S. is at. The U. S. is almost unique. A lot of international investors, they come into the U. S. and they're surprised how widely storage is used. Is this a trend that's increasing? Or is this sort of a stable trend at this point in the U. S.? Is the demand per capita, or three mile radius, five mile radius, one mile radius, in most markets, stable?</p>



<p>Or is there a pattern change? Self storage is in the business. Of change, right? People move when something happens, but the moving has been somewhat slower in this environment when the interest rates spike, people don't move as much so I'm just curious. What's happening right now? </p>

John Casmon tells us that he was working in marketing and advertising for 15 years. While it has always been a plan to shift to real estate, focusing on family and spending more time accelerated this career change. From the get-go, he wore many hats, from repair to contractor, to painter but seeing as how much time it took to flip houses, John needed to find another solution. So they went from taking a bite out of the small pie deals that require time to the larger pies that involved less time and created more opportunities. It wasn’t easy of course. He shares how important fundamentals are, like cap rate comparison, and rent pricing in relation to surrounding development. He exudes a truly deep understanding of the market. One of John’s insights is that returns are a measure of risk therefore it is only proper that you know every single one of those potential risks when considering a life in real estate.

<p><strong>Full Transcript:</strong><strong>Mike Zlotnik:</strong> Welcome to the BigMikeFund Podcast. I'm the Big Mike, I'm Mike Zlotnik, and I'd like to welcome back Andy Gurczak. If I'm pronouncing it correct. If I'm butchering you up, forgive me. I've tried a few times. He originally is from Poland, right? He's Polish. His family is from Poland. And remind, just a couple of words about you, when you came to the country, a little bit of your story, and then we'll jump into insurance adjusting. This is your great expertise, and we'd love to hear what's going on. It's a very hot topic, given what's been going on with the natural disasters and all the crazy stuff going on.</p>

In today's episode, we have the privilege of speaking with the accomplished entrepreneur and apartment investor, Noel Parnell, Co-Founder and Partner at Crown Capital Corp.</p>



<p>Noel's journey to success is nothing short of inspiring. A former member of the 2008 US Paralympic team, he transitioned from a career in professional sports to the corporate world. However, after being laid off from GSK, he realized that he no longer wanted to be at the mercy of others in his professional life. Discovering the secret of the wealthy, that 92% of them own real estate, Noel embarked on his own real estate journey. With sheer determination and passion, he has since acquired over 118 units in Philadelphia. </p>



<p>Today, he focuses on assisting white-collar individuals in making intelligent investments and achieving their financial goals through real estate ventures.</p>

We begin our conversation with an update on the Mile Marker Club, Ryan’s initiative to help new and professional investors grow capital in alternative markets like real estate and increase their financial literacy. Later, we cover holistic wealth planning, the benefits and opportunity costs of taking a more active role in your portfolio, the current tax environment in the United States, the risk of letting tax benefits drive capital allocation, and building a strategy that suits your lifestyle instead of the IRS.</p>
<p>• What is the holistic financial planning process?
• Why real estate has historically been the bedrock of America’s economy
• Passive versus active investing
• PIGs (Passive Income Gains) and PALs (Passive Allocation Losses)
• Is becoming a real estate professional right for you?
• How power shifts in Washington and projected tax increases affect your holistic strategy
• How to harvest passive losses and take advantage of depreciation
• Revenue neutral tax codes: Will today’s gains become tomorrow’s losses?</p>
<h4>Quotes:</h4>
<p>“There’s always been a certain fascination with real estate in the US… part of the reason is that Congress and the IRS have provided different types of tax benefits relatively consistently and that extend for a relatively long period of time. And that’s been part of the bedrock that has made the US economy work so well for a couple hundred years now.” Ryan Parson</p>
<p>“What the IRS giveth today, it taketh away tomorrow.” Ryan Parson</p>

Join us for an enlightening episode featuring the brilliant &lt;strong&gt;Jason Medley&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO of The Collective Genius. In this thought-provoking discussion, Jason reveals the number one rule in business: assembling the right team. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing talent acquisition above all else, setting the foundation for long-term success.

&lt;p&gt;Jason&apos;s expertise provides invaluable insights into understanding the economic dynamics at play and the effects they have on investment decisions. He navigates the intricacies of this shifting climate, empowering listeners with the knowledge to make informed choices during times of uncertainty.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Tune in now to gain a competitive edge in your business and learn how to thrive even in challenging economic conditions. Jason&apos;s wisdom will guide you in building a robust team and navigating the ever-changing financial landscape with confidence. Don&apos;t miss out on this game-changing episode that will transform your approach to business! ️&lt;/p&gt;
