These days nurses or doctors say "you're going to feel a little pinch" right before they stick you with a needle. In my younger days when men were tough, women were strong, and all the children were above average, they would just say "this is going to hurt a little." If you think real estate investing has to hurt a little before it starts feeling good - today's show is for you - Painless Real Estate Investing. Nathan Payne – thats p-a-y-n-e is going to join us today to talk about his approach to investing he calls "painless." I think it's painless - p-a-i-n-less, but with Payne - P-a-y-n-e. Anyhoo - you're going to hear how Nathan has made it as easy as possible for someone brand new to get into the game.

Dan has managed to build an impressive real estate business & portfolio that allows him the freedom to live & work where he wants well within his 20s.

Life is full of choices. One of them is to make enough in real estate investing to quit your day job, let your wife quit her day job, live off of the passive income and travel somewhere monthly.

Today we feature one of the great rags to riches stories in real estate. My guest today lived in poverty with his mom but watched his neighbors buy rentals and lift themselves up. In his late teens he bought his first property and never looked back. Lou Brown is one of the best known names in real estate investing. Shortly after this show launched in 2017 I heard Lou speak at a convention in Miami. As he spoke about providing affordable housing, lifting people out of poverty and into home ownership, I heard more than his words. I heard his heart. I said to myself, "someday I'm going to have him on my show." That day is today my friends. Lou is a bestselling author of Buy, Hold and Sell Book, speaker, and philanthropist with students in all 50 states and many foreign countries whose nickname is the 'King of Cash flow.'

We continue today with the fantastic conversation from last Thursday night with Rod Khleif and Kathy Fettke. The topic is "Don't Just Survive, Thrive." We will conclude that conversation on this episode of Flipping America. Plus I have some news updates for you and a couple of great questions from you.

Over the past few weeks we have all become familiar with terms like "flattening the curve" and "self-quarantine." These sudden additions to our lexicon are necessary in order to ensure survival. Our hearts and our sympathy go out to all who are suffering during this difficult time. The vast majority of us however can't help but wonder when will life get back to normal, what will "normal" look like, and how can our small businesses survive much more of this? On this call we will tap into the wisdom of two of America's most prolific real estate investors. They have seen good times come and go and come back again. Kathy and Rod would each tell you that most of their success came from a mindset they adopted when they started. Successful people are not always consciously aware of their unique mindset but thoughtful people who have endured the slings and arrows of entrepreneurship usually have some time to reflect on the collection of thoughts (mindset) that propels us forward. Tonight we are going to look beyond s

I hear it everywhere I go, like the constant drumbeat of the real estate Chicken Littles: "The Sky is Falling! The Real Estate market is going to crash again. And it's going to happen soon! The logic seems to be that real estate must be cyclical and we must have a major market shake up every ten years or so. That means it's time. We are going to talk about this today and for an informed an credible opinion, I reached out to Logan Mohtashami. He is the Senior Loan Manager at AMC Lending Group, a mortgage company in the Los Angeles area. But more than a lender, Logan's career-long passion is studying the financial and housing markets. He has been tracking these markets for two decades, has seen good times and bad times, analyzed the data, run the numbers, and he is staying up to the minute on the developments. If there is anyone out there who is completely credible and qualified to speak on this subject, it is Logan Mohtashami. And in a few minutes, he is going to lower the boom with his answer.
