I recently had an enlightening conversation with Scott Pinkerton, a successful private wealth firm and asset management company owner, on my podcast. We delved into the world of investing, and I'm excited to share some key takeaways with you.

1. The Investor's Mindset: In the current unpredictable market, Scott emphasized the importance of caution and avoiding the trap of believing we can predict outcomes. He introduced the concept of the "loser lane" and "positive place" in investing, reminding us that we should always be aware of potential negative and positive outcomes.
2. Guardrails in Investing: We discussed the importance of setting guardrails and sticking to metrics when making investment decisions. It's crucial to know when to cut losses and make changes if necessary. Remember, it's okay to say no to a deal, even after investing time and effort into it.
3. Probability vs Consequence: Scott illustrated the importance of considering consequences even when the probability seems low. He advised writing down specific probabilities and defending them to crystallize thinking.
4. Black Swan Events: We touched on the unpredictability of black swan events like 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Scott warned against dismissing potential risks just because they haven't happened before.
5. Preserving Wealth Across Generations: Scott shared insights on the challenges wealthy families face in preserving their wealth across generations. He emphasized the importance of educating children about money from a young age and instilling a strong work ethic.
6. The Role of the Federal Reserve: Scott explained the role of the Federal Reserve in controlling interest rates and the bond market. He emphasized the complexity of managing the economy and compared it to a doctor treating a growing problem inside a patient.
7. Opportunities in the Market: Despite the challenges, Scott highlighted the opportunities in the market for both investors and groups looking to finance deals. He advised investors to carefully consider factors like rising insurance costs when creating their financial projections.

I hope these insights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full podcast. Remember, it's important to seek professional guidance and be aware of biases and blind spots in decision-making.

I'm thrilled to share with you some exciting insights from my recent podcast episode with Paul Moore, a seasoned entrepreneur and commercial real estate investor from Wellings Capital. We had an enlightening conversation about his journey, the lessons he's learned, and his unique approach to investing.

1. The Journey from Entrepreneur to Investor: Paul shared his transition from running a staffing firm to becoming a full-time investor. He candidly spoke about his initial misconception of being an investor when he was actually a speculator. His podcast, "How to Lose Money," is a treasure trove of lessons learned from failures and losses.
2. Selling a Business: Paul opened up about the emotional rollercoaster of selling a business. He reminded us that while it may feel like a success, it's essential to remember that money doesn't buy happiness.
3. The Shift to Commercial Real Estate Investing: Paul's journey led him from single-family residential properties to multifamily projects. His book, "The Perfect Investment," is a testament to his experiences and the risks involved in overpaying for properties.
4. The Importance of Focus in Investing: We discussed the significance of investing with people who specialize in a specific area. It's easy to get distracted by shiny objects, but true success lies in developing expertise in one area.
5. Vetting Sponsors: Paul shared his 28-point due diligence checklist for vetting sponsors. It's not just about the numbers; the character and personality of the sponsors are equally important.
6. Considering Downside Risk: We emphasized the need to assess potential losses and analyze debt structure and potential risks. It's crucial to consider unexpected events that can impact investments.
7. Boring Investing: Paul introduced the concept of boring investing, focusing on stability and predictable cash flow. He's even co-writing a book, "Warren Buffett's Rules for Real Estate Investors," exploring this concept further.
8. Advice for New Investors: Paul suggested diversifying risk and shared seven unique paths to getting into commercial real estate. He also emphasized the importance of partnering with experts instead of trying to become one.
9. Staying Focused and Motivated: Paul shared his routine of taking a day off and dedicating an hour every morning to activities like thinking, journaling, meditating, praying, and reading sacred scriptures.

Welcome to the Mario Dattilo Show Podcast!

In this episode of The Mario Dattilo Show, we introduce guests Andrew Jarrett and Nic Cooper from Level Up REI. Nic shares his background as a Navy helicopter pilot and his early years in real estate, while Andrew discusses his experience working in a grocery store and discovering real estate through books and fix & flip opportunities. They explain why they chose apartments over single-family homes for scalability and reveal their strategies for sourcing deals and choosing between self-management and third-party management. The duo also discuss targeting landlord-friendly states, finding the right business partner, the advantages of syndication, and what properties to look for. They delve into fee structures, mobile home park investing, operations, asset management, and acquisitions, emphasizing the importance of focusing on regular actions that lead to key performance indicators. The conversation covers communication with third-party management, acquisition methodology, deal flow changes due to interest rates, and tips for getting brokers' attention. Finally, Andrew and Nic discuss raising capital, building relationships, vetting investors, and offer their last thoughts on entering the multifamily space.

Andrew Jarrett is a native of Western New York, where he was part of numerous profitable redevelopment opportunities on single family homes. He founded a property management company which managed single family and multifamily units. He sold the company and shifted his focus to the acquisition of smaller multifamily and single family investment properties in Western New York. Andrew currently holds several hundred rental units in this market with in-place management and maintenance teams. Andrew is also a #1 Bestselling author and the host of “The Passive Road to Retirement” podcast. He scaled his investments to the acquisition of large Multifamily apartment complexes. In the past two years he has gone “full cycle” on several hundred units, located in Florida and Georgia.

Nic Cooper saw the power of cash-flowing assets with his single-family rentals but was ready to scale. He sold his remaining single-family rentals in San Diego and got his wife, Jamie on board to reinvest in real-estate on a larger scale. Together they purchased a 24 unit apartment complex in Ohio to create passive income. In the first year they optimized systems and as a result, more than doubled the properties value! They saw first-hand the power of multifamily real-estate investing as an opportunity to create passive income and build wealth for their family. Nic brings a pilot’s precision and analytical mind to multifamily real estate with over 22 years as a military helicopter pilot. At present Nic owns 172 units in TX, AL, OH and VA with $11.3MM assets under management.

About Lane:
In 2007, I graduated from college with a degree in Industrial Engineering and went to work as a construction supervisor.

Study hard at school, get an engineering job, and work at said job for 40 years.

For you that can be a means for quitting a job you don't like or

A spouse staying at home to raise your own children

In 2015, As I reached 11 rental units I found a better way to invest for the busy professional by investing in private placements and syndications.
