  • Adopt the “three paydays” approach to capture income upfront, monthly, and at the end of the investment term.
  • Prioritize non-bankable deals to gain leverage and protection during volatile market shifts.
  • Shift away from conventional, time-for-money real estate models that function like high-stress jobs.
  • Utilize current market data to identify off-market, free-and-clear properties ripe for creative structuring.
  • Navigate economic uncertainty by working with mentors who have experienced multiple financial cycles.

Hillary Seiler started her journey into finance while navigating the immense pressure of caring for a sick parent at nineteen. Today, she uses those hard-won lessons to guide elite athletes through the complex world of sudden, high-level wealth.

High earnings do not guarantee financial freedom. Hillary Seiler and Dr. Allen discuss why income alone fails to create clarity and how professional athletes and high-achievers can shift from reactive habits to intentional financial strategy.

Main Points:

  • Build your financial house from the ground up by focusing on education rather than just accumulation.
  • Recognize that money is emotional; successful management requires identifying personal values and setting firm boundaries.
  • Adopt a consistent daily routine to track and manage money, moving away from overwhelming, infrequent financial check-ins.
  • Use wealth as a tool for purpose and long-term impact rather than a reaction to social pressures or lifestyle expectations.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?

In this episode, Dr. Allen Lomax sits down with Tad Fallows to explore the psychological and structural pressures faced by high-performing, affluent professionals. Tad shares insights from his journey of bootstrapping and selling a software company, which led him to found Long Angle—a peer-to-peer learning community of over 7,500 high-net-worth individuals. They discuss why traditional financial advice often breeds anxiety, how to shift from optimizing for more to optimizing for alignment, and how to use wealth as a tool for true personal freedom.

Achieving a high net worth does not automatically dissolve stress or resolve personal problems. Traditional wealth management is often plagued by misaligned incentives, where advisors are motivated by commissions and asset management fees rather than the client's best interests. True clarity and freedom come from peer-to-peer learning, understanding the baseline mechanics of your own wealth, and intentionally shifting focus from status-driven accumulation to buying back time and aligning capital with personal values.

Main Points:

  1. The Origins of Long Angle

  2. The Post-Exit Gap: After selling his software company, Tad faced complex financial decisions (estate taxes, private markets, umbrella insurance) but found most advice came from institutional firms with products to sell.

  3. The Peer-To-Peer Solution: Long Angle was built to provide a fee-free, trusted space for first-generation wealth creators to share unconflicted advice without sales pitches.

  4. Why High-Net-Worth Individuals Still Feel Financial Pressure

  5. Habitual Risk Aversion: The very traits that help people build wealth—calculating risk and hyper-optimizing—can cause lingering anxiety about running out of money, even with a $25M or $100M net worth.

  6. Money Doesn't Solve Personal Problems: Money can easily solve minor operational friction (like hiring a gardener), but it cannot fix health, fitness, or strained family relationships.

  7. The Unique Dilemmas of First-Generation Wealth

  8. The "Resource vs. Liability" Parenting Dilemma: Wealthy parents face intense pressure regarding how to provide elite opportunities for their children without spoiling them or stripping away their drive to succeed on their own terms.

  9. The Purpose Vacuum: When a professional hits financial independence early (e.g., age 40) and removes the excuse of "working for money," they face the heavier existential pressure of deciding how to spend their time meaningfully.

  10. Flaws in the Traditional Wealth Management Model

  11. Misaligned Incentives: It is difficult to get objective advice from a commission-based insurance broker or an AUM-based wealth manager who might lose income if you choose to liquidate assets to buy a house.

  12. Peer Learning vs. Paid Advice: Sourcing insights from peers who have no financial stake in your decisions reduces the mental burden of second-guessing an advisor's true motivations.

  13. Shifts in Capital and Time Allocation

  14. Low Interest in Status Spending: First-generation wealth creators in the community tend to show very little interest in traditional status symbols like Ferraris, Rolexes, or designer clothes.

  15. Redefining Risk: Unlike inherited wealth holders who focus on minimizing volatility, self-made wealth creators generally have a higher risk tolerance, choosing to optimize for long-term expected returns over a multi-year horizon.
  16. Buying Back Time: Capital is increasingly deployed to outsource low-value, energy-draining tasks (e.g., hiring house managers or virtual assistants) while preserving time for high emotional-value activities, like parenting or community impact.

  17. Actionable Advice for Wealth Owners

  18. Don't Fully Outsource Trust: Much like managing a home renovation, you don't need to know every technical nuance, but you must understand the foundational basics (asset classes, taxes, fees, and correlations) to be an educated client.

Charles King, better known as Chad, began his professional career as a salesman for Xerox. Within two years, he became a top producer. While generating a 6-figure income from sales, he simultaneously studied successful individuals who possessed tremendous wealth. He came to realize they all shared the commonality of real estate. With that awareness, he jumped feet first into single-family wholesaling, fix/flip, completing over 400 deals in three years. This didn’t provide the freedom and prosperity he dreamed of. After finding the missing link he’d always been searching for, he transitioned to multifamily. Through leveraging partnerships and syndications, Chad developed the financial freedom he’d dreamed of. Today he owns several companies, and is an accomplished investor, coach, mentor, and teacher.

Main point:

  • Many professionals have spent fortunes in education and training to attain positions and recognition in their fields. They've done so because they have a calling to serve and find fulfillment in their work. They're engaged and, though fulfilled, often swamped with professional and family obligations. What would provoke them to take on real estate investing as yet another demand on their attention and time?
  • Many professionals have, what is often considered generous retirement plans both company plans and private 401K and IRAs. Are those not sufficient to build wealth, provide a comfortable retirement, and even leave a legacy for their children?
  • Where is a good place to begin if a successful professional with a comfortable lifestyle and rewarding career decides to explore further growing their wealth through real estate investing?
  • Once a starting point is found, what suggestions do you have for a fulfilled professional, whether an educator, health care provider, architect, engineer, or whatever, to remain engaged in their career and simultaneously develop wealth through real estate investing?
  • Do you have any stories of fulfilled professionals you've taught or coached who have successfully navigated the waters of professional engagement and real estate investing?
  • You had a fulfilling professional career in sales. Even though you still engage in sales, you left sales as a full-time profession. When you decided to leave Xerox, you burnt the bridges, jumped in feet first, and hit the ground running. What advice would you share with other professionals who might be considering leaving their professions and going into full-time real estate investing?

Jonathan O'Kane is Vice President and Head of Research at Chandan Economics. At Chandan, he blends data with storytelling, bringing forward unique coverage of all things related to mom-and-pop rental housing.

Main Points:

  • Mom-and-Pop operations proved significantly more sensitive to the pandemic than professional managers
  • As of March 2022, rent collections in independent operated rentals has recovered back to pre-pandemic levels
  • Renters moving to more affordable metros is a double-edged sword, potentially exporting affordability concerns to new parts of the country
  • Despite rapid institutionalization, the single-family rental sector remains dominated by mom-and-pop operators
  • New multifamily debt has far outpaced new multifamily supply since the end of the Great Finical Crisis. In a rising interest rate environment, small operators could run into trouble if rent-rolls are unable to adjust quickly enough to rising debt servicing costs
  • The role of cities is evolving, though they have many times throughout history. Gateway markets may continue to struggle over the medium term, though we should bet on their long-term resiliency

Biography of Denis: 

Denis Shapiro began investing in real estate in 2012, when the market was just beginning to recover from the GFC (Global Financial Crisis). He built a cash flowing portfolio including many alternative assets, such as Note and ATM funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, Industrial property, short term rentals, and more. He co-founded an investment club for accredited investors in 2019. Following the success of his investor club he launched SIH Capital Group. SIHCG provides accredited investors with a simplified strategy to invest for passive income.

Denis has observed key changes in the alternative asset market in the decade of recovery from the GFC. The JOBS Act of 2012 opened many alternative assets up to everyday investors, but clear expertise and guidance is still hard to find nearly a decade later.

This observation compelled Denis to write The Alternative Investment Almanac: Expert Insights on Building Personal Wealth in Non-Traditional Ways in 2021. His book is based on his own experience becoming a successful alternative asset investor and interviews with some of the best alternative asset investors in business today.

Abhishek Pareek immigrated to the USA 14 years age. In January 2020, while working his W2 job he started his real estate journey. He started with one single family home and now he owns 20 units. He is branching out into apartment syndication and is offering others the opportunity to earn passive income by investing with his company Augmenting Wealth. 

Main Points:

  • Currently work on W2 from 8.30 am to 5 pm and working on real estate after 5 pm every day to network with investors, partners, and mastermind with people.
  • My model is to identify growth areas in close proximity to where you live. Build a team there. Get off-market deals, visit market every month and drive for dollars. I am buying properties from motivated sellers, rehabbing using a team of contractors and refinancing to get my money back and buy another deal. My cashflow is increasing and I want to keep doing this as I develop more systems to find better deals and markets.
  • Having clear goals, visions and mindset has contributed to my success. I follow miracle mornings and working for my personal growth and development to be more physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Real Estate is a tool to help me get to my vision and goals. I have mentors in several aspects of my life like for meditation and physical health as well as real estate.
  • As I am growing, my company is planning to acquire bigger multifamily properties and help several people stuck in rat race to create passive income and finally financial independence for them.
  • Real estate is far superior to stocks or 401k. Consistent cash flow, tax benefits, equity build up, bank leverage. With Big Multifamily properties we can achieve more scalability, more cash flow and can bring joy to more people in terms of passive income. My aim and job is to educate more people mostly in tech industry to get out of wall street and get to Main street.

By the age of 28 Hugh Carnhan transformed 3 companies into Lean Manufacturing.  His greatest achievement was taking a Manufacturing operation from a 22 day cycle down to 3 hours and reducing transporation waste from 1280 meters to only 36 meters.  Implementing the operational changes cost the manufacturer $20,000 and save them $7MM annually.

  • BONUS: Happy = Slow. Where are we all in such a hurry to go? I’ve learned that if you can’t unplug, if you can’t find balance, if you can’t walk away from your business for one, two or more weeks to enjoy the things that are important to you, then you’ve got it all wrong.

Rick Martin is the founder of Fortress Federation Investments, which helps investors accelerate their wealth and build cash flow by investing in apartment communities. He is both a general and limited partner in1600 units around the country, so he fully understands the benefits of passive investing and is able to guide his investors.

Bullet Points:

  • Get your money working harder, so you don't have to. What does that mean?
  • When you begin to replace your W-2, and suddenly don't have to show up at the office for 8 to 10 hours a day, you almost will feel like, am I forgetting something, because you'll have extra time.
  • Being on both sides of the curtain – the LP and GP - allows me to look through the lens of an investor.
  • Pay close attention to the fundamentals of a deal. Why does this deal have legs?
  • It's hard to find a deal that pencils now, and it will only get more challenging with inflation. Don't underestimate the value of having an off-market deal brought to your inbox with passive investing. Consider also, how many less headaches you will have by not actively managing the asset.
  • Once you have chosen an operator and market, make sure you understand how the deal is structured, and how are you being compensated. Is there a good balance between cash flow and upside?

Through years of experience and having an engineering background, Sep Bekam brought systems into an industry that needed it and provides for abundant opportunity in extremely low-income housing.

Main Points:

  • “How to operate your real estate business like a factory.” I worked as an electrical and robotics engineer at a bathtub manufacturer over a decade ago. During my time at that company, I was taught lien manufacturing techniques and have been able to apply those skillsets to my real estate company. Standardized processes, standard renovation manuals, standard leasing procedures, standard materials, etc. We can talk about the lessons from Henry Ford and the Model T production.
  • I’ve had multiple properties with evictions, drugs, gang activity, SWAT team raids, drive-by shootings, and homicides. I’ve learned that the key to successful low-income housing investing is to have the right team in place that is world-class at handling that specific asset class. The team needs to be excited about working on your properties, not depressed. Regardless of how many units they manage for you, the investor needs to work towards being their best client (think Go-Giver philosophy). That leads to effective management, vendor introductions, off-market deals, etc.
  • Not every Section 8 tenant is bad. There are great Section 8 tenants out there and, just like employees and property managers, the key is to give them more in Value than what they pay in rent.
  • Pros and cons of low-income housing investing through apartment buildings v/s single family rentals.
  • Real estate syndication v/s turnkey property investing

Anthony is the CEO of Buckingham Investments, an LA area multifamily brokerage company.  He believes that real estate wealth is not created only at the time of purchase, but well before an investment is ever made through education and planning.

Main Points:

  • How did I get into investing in Southern California multifamily?

  • You constantly hear about investors leaving expensive coastal markets for higher cap rates out of state.  What's the case for staying?

  • How difficult is it really to operate in such a tenant friendly state/jurisdiction?

  • What does the data really bear out?  Are people leaving en masse from CA?  How bad are the prices?

  • What's a typical deal profile in Southern CA?  Purchase price, rents, cap rates, debt, etc.

  • What's the exit strategy investing in an area like this?

Beginning with one single-family home in 2009 Josh Sterling has grown his portfolio to over 900 units today. He also founded Epic Property Management in 2012 and has used that experience to innovate and create a new standard in the property management industry.

Main Points:

· -After starting down the path of college, career, buy a personal residence as the "American Dream" I was forced to make a complete 180 and began investing in real estate in an effort to create something I could depend on.

· -I began purchasing single family homes in 2009 using creative finance (zero percent credit cards, unsecured lines of credit, etc.) and was able to build scale by discovering how to extract the equity from single family homes.

· -Using the equity I pulled out of single family properties I was able to move into larger multi-family properties and began to build a snowball effect of cashflow.

· -After gaining experience in larger multi-family properties I began syndicating deals in 2016 when my personal liquidity wasn't available instead of turning them down as I had done in the past.

· -Time, snowballing cashflow, recurring liquidity events and syndication have allowed me to grow my portfolio to over 900 units.

· -Building a portfolio to that size made it necessary to build a property management company and innovate in that industry in order to achieve the best return on investment for my portfolio.

Nizan Mosery

Wisdom of the Ages in Construction, Asset Management, Property Management, and Commercial Brokerage

Today’s guest brings us wisdom from a depth of experience in construction, asset management, property management, commercial real estate brokerage, property management, syndication, and advanced creative financing. Beyond his wide breadth of experience in real estate investing, he is a world traveler who has spent time with foreign dignitaries, including His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

Our guest today, Nizan Mosery, appeared twice on Creek Side Chats with Successful Real Estate Investors. I am thrilled and honored that he agreed to be with us once again to participate in the launch of Real Estate Investing Abundance. Nizan owns properties across the nation and internationally and regularly shares his vast wealth of accumulated investment wisdom through teaching and mentoring.

Main Points:

  • This time last year, almost everyone in the industry was predicting a retraction in the multifamily sector. There was an expectation that sale prices would decline and cap rates would rise. But, just the opposite has occurred. Given that, where do you see the current state of affairs to be in the multifamily sector?
  • I see some well-respected and experienced investors turning away from multifamily because they feel the sector is overinflated and viable deals are just not there in this market? What do you say to that?
  • Some investors are turning to the motel/hotel sector. A sector hit hard this past year. The thinking is that crisis leads to opportunity. Warren Buffet is known for buying when everyone else is selling and vise-a-versa. What is your advice to those considering investing in the motel/hotel sector?
  • Others turning from multifamily apartments are looking to mobile home parks as an alternative investment. What advice do you have for those considering mobile home parks as an investment option?
  • Where do you see the economy moving over the next year and the next two years?
  • Where are you looking for investment opportunities these days?

The Passive Real Estate Investor and the Law

Today’s guest brings us a wealth of definitive knowledge from over 3 decades of experience as an Attorney, a CPA, and an Entrepreneur. Much of his work has focused on securities so he is the go to guy when it comes to providing legal protection for the assets of passive investors who invest in real estate syndications.

Mark, before we delve into matters of asset protection for passive real estate investors, tell us how did injuring your back end up saving your life?

Main Points:

  • Let’s begin with the basic question, what is the first and most fundamental thing every passive investor should do to protect their own and their family’s assets?
  • As syndicators, we do everything we can to protect and preserve our passive investors' capital. What beyond the basic corporate structure provided by a typical syndication offering should a passive investor do to protect their invested interests?
  • When evaluating a real estate investment offering, what are the bare minimum legal structures that a passive investor should see in an offering? In other words, how should a typical syndication be structured for the protection of the limited partners?
  • Is it advisable for a passive investor to form an LLC for investing in real estate syndications rather than investing as an individual?
  • Is it really possible to do everything that’s involved in forming a legal entity within just an hour or two? If so, how?
  • Is Wyoming really the best place for a passive investor to form their investing LLC?
  • Before we do the Deep Dive, what do you have to offer our Enlightened Investors?
