On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’ll give you five (and one bonus) “festos” from my Multifamily investing manifesto. It’s part of a series from my list of 21 things you should do to become a successful multifamily investor. This episode will give you the thousand-foot view to get out of the weeds and to be able to see the whole picture. In addition, this list will keep you from getting too much in the weeds and instead train your mind to focus on what really matters. Part of the reason this is so successful is that you can have many goals as a real estate investor, and some of those goals can contradict each other. So this gives you a framework for consistency, and to have goals that are achievable for you, and leave those contradictory goals to people and organizations with other specialties.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I want to prevent you from making a mistake that might potentially ruin you. When you do your due diligence on your next purchase, make sure to find out how many owners the property has had in the past ten to fifteen years, and why the owner is selling it. More often than not, if the property has had two or more owners, there’s a reason why no one wants it, and you shouldn’t either. Watch this video to see me go into detail and give an example of how I avoided buying a money pit.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I discuss the Trump tariffs. Many people are panicking about this. The Wall Street Journal, on just one day, had three headlines predicting doom and gloom. But here’s the truth: No one knows what will happen. And even if some things go wrong, other things can go right as a result. In today’s episode, I give three tips that multifamily investors need to act on soon as the tariffs hit the economy. If you follow my advice, you won’t let a good crisis go to waste--you’ll take advantage of the opportunities that other people are too afraid to take.
