The equation is simple.

Each one of these variables is dynamic in its own right. If one of the 5 changes course, however, it will impact the other 4.

Today on the Value Driven Investor Podcast we are going to get a little more sophisticated with our marketing by diving into Google PPC. Pay Per Click is a tried and true method of gaining leads, but it comes with risks

This episode continues our series on how to find great real estate investment deals, and this week, we are going old school. A technique that is so easy, and works

Even though we are 33 episodes in, we are still in the SURVIVAL phase of real estate investing. With that in mind, we are going to kick off a long conversation over the next month about finding your big opportunity.

This will be part three of our micro flipping series, and after this episode, you might think, 'oh, man, this is so simple.'

And that's the point. Some of the best decisions you can make as an investor are so simple, that people forget about them. Or people don't execute them because they feel like it's too easy.

This is part 2 of our series on Microflipping real esate, and today we are going to get into the details of where to start.

And you start with the fundamentals. Do not overthink it. Be like the pro's and stay focused on the Fundamentals of investing.

Fundamentals on the type of house to choose, how to finance the investment, and where to start with contractors.

Today, we are going to be talking about something that I think most people have not heard of, but if you're interested in real estate investing, or a real estate agent looking to get an edge on your market, need to explore.

2022 annual real estate investing goals and predictions, that's the topic as we wind down the year. When you are an entrepreneur, when you're an investor, I think one of the things that you have to really focus on, and be confident about, is making predictions. Seeing into the future. If you're not able or willing to look into the future and do the research that it takes to have an opinion of what's going to happen, being a real estate investor being an entrepreneur is going to be very difficult for you.

Today could be one of the best episodes all year, because today, Robert Grand and I are going to review our 2021 investment predictions. We're gonna talk about predictions that came true, along with some that were off, and big problems that we faced, and how we overcame them.

We're going to talk about our the success and bumps with our own projects, the investing market overall, and problems we faced with construction costs and labor.

This will all lead into the next episode which will cover our predictions for 2022!

I feel like you might be asking yourself the question, "how is the Value Different Investor any different than being a real estate agent?"

And I think that that's a really good question for you to be asking at this point in the podcast lifecycle, because we're only in the beginning, we're in the survival phase.

Today we have the one and only Shelly Kane, and I'm super excited to have her on again. The last time we had her on, episode number five, she shared her story and how she got started in real estate investing. Today, we want to talk about the magic that she creates when it comes to managing for the experience of it on her short term rental properties with her husband, Robert Grand.

Today we're talking about starting from scratch and investing in a property that will be an income generator as a short term rental (Airbnb or VRBO). We are bringing in our numbers experts, Robert and Ricky Grand, from Grand Real Estate Investments to talk about Financing, how the size of the property influences your income, gross income vs. net income, and how to plan income increases over time.

if you're serious about making a big return on your investments -- hire an interior designer. We are talking to my personal interior designer, Annie Pauza from Decorator in a Box, about the major difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator, how interior design brings value to your customers, what sets designers apart, and how much it costs to have a designer on your team.

We are going into part two of setting up short-term rentals, vacation rentals, Airbnb, and VRBO.

We are going to talk about the importance of good pictures, curb appeal, the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room, and the backyard.

These details are what allowed Robert Grand to increase his nightly rate from $150 to sometimes $400!

Today is going to be one of those episodes that just hits a nerve.

It's a topic that so many people have been asking me about in the real estate world. But the reality is, I don't have a ton of experience.

The topic? Vacation rentals or short-term rentals.
