REHAB SECRETS WITH ARMANDO MONTELONGO FORMER STAR OF A&E’s “FLIP THIS HOUSE”

Armando Montelongo, Star of “Flipping Nightmares” and former star of A&E’s “Flip This House” – Armando is the ORIGINAL real estate reality star, and is consistently ranked as one of the most successful Hispanics in business.

The OG of house flipping, Armando Montelongo, is back with a new television show, new houses to flip and the same ‘don’t-give-a-#%&$!’ attitude that made him famous.

Armando first burst onto the scene in 2006 with a nearly three-year run on “Flip This House,” and then largely steered clear of television. He made a few appearances, including a 2015 episode of CBS’ “Undercover Boss,” and some others. Meet Armando IN PERSON at this event!

PLUS, LEARN STRATEGIES FROM CLIFF GAGER – A VETERAN CALIFORNIA INVESTOR!

Cliff Gager has been in the real estate business since 1992, when he started in the residential mortgage lending world as a loan officer for a national mortgage company. Struggling at first to make commissions doing loans for Realtor’s clients, Cliff soon discovered he was in a business dominated by much older, more experienced, and more established mortgage lenders and brokers. But Cliff was able to discover a niche market opportunity that these more established lenders and brokers had overlooked – and wound up creating his own client base in the private lending world. Working with several non-institutional financial investors, Cliff hit upon the idea of originating private mortgage purchase money loans for real estate investors who were buying, fixing, and selling residential houses.

After watching many of these “house flipping” investors make money doing these deals, Cliff saw the clear potential for profitability, jumped in with both feet, and started to buy, fix, and sell houses, all the while continuing to perform in his already existing position as a residential lender and mortgage broker. Beginning around September of 1997, while working through some difficult times, Cliff began working in the real estate seminar industry for many of the late night TV “infomercial” gurus you likely know today!

In 2010 Cliff started working independently with students of his own, and is now bringing his training directly to the people that need it the most. Cliff teaches real world strategies that work in the real market.

A MARKET UPDATE BY KATHY FETTKE

We’ve heard a lot about millennials pouring into to city centers as they chase after jobs, social connections, luxury apartments and condos, and the benefits of the sharing economy. But a new report shows that the biggest U.S. metros are experiencing a renter “boom” in the suburbs — and RentCafe says suburban Atlanta is at the top of that list.
That’s creating new opportunities for investors looking for single-family rentals with low prices and high returns, and Atlanta is a great place to find them. Atlanta was a superhot market for the single-family investor just a few years ago, but popular neighborhoods got a little too popular and prices rose. Other neighborhoods hadn’t recovered enough to draw interest. As the wheel turns for real estate hot spots, neighborhoods that were shunned before, are looking better now and many of those great locations are in the suburbs.

What’s Happening in the Suburbs?

The RentCafe report says it looks at Census data for a 5-year period, from 2011 through 2015. And, it found that urban centers have not gained as many renters as we’ve come to believe. It says the numbers show that suburban areas gained substantially more renter households than their urban counterparts in 19 out of the 20 metros it reviewed.

In Atlanta, the data shows a net gain of 52,300 suburban renter households during that time frame. That’s a 26% increase in those households. That’s a huge number of additional renters in just a 5-year-period. Atlanta’s urban area only gained 15,100 renters which reflects a 10% increase.

Suburban rent growth was so strong in Atlanta, St. Louis, Riverside County California, and Boston, it was “three” times that of their more urban counterparts. RentCafe says of the 20 metros areas it studied, suburban areas gained about 700,000 new renter households in that 5-year period. City centers in those same areas gained about 600,000. In Riverside County the percentage of suburban renter growth was lower than Atlanta but the overall number of new renter households was much higher, at 60,500. Just 18,500 renter households were added in urban areas. Chicago also saw substantial suburban renter growth, along with Miami, and Dallas.

RentCafe says the main reason for the shift is “cheaper rents”. Renters are also getting more family-friendly neighborhoods with garden-style apartment communities. They are also finding that schools are usually better in the suburbs, neighborhoods are quieter, and their living expenses take a smaller bite out of their paycheck. RentCafe says that an analysis of the Yardi Matrix database shows that renters save about 11% or a month’s worth of rent if they move to the suburbs, based on average rents in the 20 areas studied.

What’s Going on in “Hotlanta”?

It’s bustling with life, people are finding jobs, and the city is making some big quality-of-life improvements. Atlanta is undergoing a big redevelopment plan. That’s contributing to those jobs and making the city a more attractive place to be. Just to give you an idea of the kinds of things Atlanta is doing, there’s a huge project underway called the “Atlanta Beltline”. It’s a project that will connect 45 city neighborhoods with a 22-mile loop of multi-use trails, streetcars, and parks. The Beltline website says it has received several awards as for its visionary approach to making the city more walkable, bikeable, and oriented toward public transit. The project is making use of long forgotten rail lines that circled the city.

There’s also the former Bellwood Quarry that is being turned into a huge park and reservoir. You may have seen the stunning granite quarry walls and bright blue tint of the water in scenes for “The Hunger Games”, “The Walking Dead”, and “Stranger Things”. The city is investing at least $300 million dollars to turn the water-filled quarry into a 2.4 billion gallon reservoir. When it’s done, it’s expected to hold a 30-day supply of drinking water for 1.2 million people. Once the reservoir is finished, the city will develop the surrounding 300 acres as the city’s largest park. The new Westside Reservoir Park will also be connected to the city via the Beltline.

There’s also the conversion of the former Fort McPherson Army base into a huge movie studio complex. African American filmmaker Tyler Perry bought the historic 330-acre piece of real estate in 2015 and is turning it into the latest version of his Tyler Perry Studio. The L.A. Times reports that when it’s done later this year, it will be one of the largest studios in the country. The paper also says that Tyler hopes to create 3 to 4,000 news jobs at the studio, and recruit people from low-income parts of Atlanta.

Major upgrades are also coming to one of Martin Luther King Junior Drive which runs right through the city center — past the state capital, the historic Atlanta University Center, and the Georgia Dome. It’s a 12-mile stretch that has become an eyesore with old or abandoned buildings in need of repair. The city plans to convert the 4-lane road into two traffic lanes, and two for bicycles. There will also be new roundabouts, plant-filled medians, small parks, and new pedestrian crosswalks.

And then there are two new sports stadiums in the making. Both the Falcons and the Braves are building new stadiums. That’s expected to bring tens of thousands of new jobs to the city. And the city is already experiencing job growth that’s higher than the nation’s average. The latest report from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that Atlanta experienced a 3.6% growth rate for non-farm jobs in the last year. Jobs for the professional and business services industry grew the most at 4.6%. That’s well above the 3% growth rate for that sector nationally.

Percentage of Suburban Renter Growth

These are just a few things going on in “Hotlanta”. As for the percentage of suburban rent growth for the other areas, Phoenix and Riverside County came in with a 23% increase. Tampa, Dallas, and Minneapolis range from 18% down to 15% growth in suburban renters. Detroit, Miami, and Denver experienced a 14% renter growth rate in the suburbs. Houston, Washington, D.C., and Seattle were all at 13%. Chicago was at 12%. San Francisco at 10%. San Diego and St. Louis were at 9%. Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia were at the bottom of the list with a 7% to 3% suburban rental growth.
The Real Wealth Network offers opportunities for investors to own single-family rentals in several of those suburban markets. We will be talking about opportunities in suburban Atlanta at some of our upcoming live events.

Investing in Cash Flow – Doing Well by Doing Good

Topstone Investment, LLC (“Topstone”) started in 2013 with two clear objectives – Do Well by Doing Good. At the core of our operations are the values associated with “social investing’. To us, it is more than simply ROI, it is a holistic approach to solving and tackling issues often encountered in the inner city.

The company’s founders found a niche in buying, rehabbing and renting out Section 8 Properties in the Midwest (Kansas City, MO and Saint Louis, MO) markets. Since 2013 the company has acquired over 310 single family residences and rehabbed many to provide the residents with a clean, safe, upgraded home that they can live in. Topstone has acquired a large volume of homes such that certain neighborhoods have improved significantly. Residents are thrilled to be living in a ‘new, fixed up home’ where the property management team actually listens to them.

We work closely with the local Section 8 Housing Authorities to provide families with homes in which the residents can safely raise their families. In return, we have had very low turn over compared to other Section 8 operators and that in turn results in greater cash flow for our company and our investors.

Since 2013, Topstone has expanded into several new markets and has built a ‘local team’ in each of the new markets. We currently offer investment opportunities to investors that are looking for solid passive returns on their funds.

Andrew Chiu: President and Co-Founder

Andrew Chiu is one of Topstone’s original founders and the President of the company. He always seeks to maximize improvement in human and environmental well-being regardless of the company he leads or industry he revolutionizes.

Mr. Chiu is a serial entrepreneur and has a successful 20-year track record with new business ventures.

Mr. Chiu’s business development has extended to markets in North, Central and South America, Europe, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and Southeast Asia. Mr. Chiu holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information System.

Network with Kent Mak – Co-Founder and VP of Business Development

Kent Mak is one of Topstone’s original founders and is in charge of acquisitions and logistics to manage hundreds of properties in multiple markets simultaneously. He has nearly 20 years of experience with affordable/low income housing in Midwestern markets.

Over time Mr. Mak and his management teams have “cracked the code” to large scale scattered site redevelopment in blighted areas, providing affordable housing and recycling properties in neighborhoods that were cast aside. Through experience with scalability and developing best practices, Mr. Mak and his teams have been able to generate higher than average returns in investment portfolios generally avoided by investors with less operational expertise in markets such as Sacramento, Phoenix, Kansas City, Tulsa, San Antonio and many other markets.

In addition to spending many years working with affordable housing and student housing, Kent has developed supply chains to directly import construction materials directly from China to lower construction costs on large scale projects.

Mr. Mak’s rehab projects were featured in a Showcase of Homes program by the City of Tulsa in 2006-2007 as his teams fought to eradicate blight and provide affordable housing to area residents.

What Is Forex?

The foreign exchange market is the “place” where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can’t pay in euros to see the pyramids because it’s not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.

The need to exchange currencies is the primary reason why the forex market is the largest, most liquid financial market in the world. It dwarfs other markets in size, even the stock market, with an average traded value of around U.S. $2,000 billion per day. (The total volume changes all the time, but as of August 2012, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) reported that the forex market traded in excess of U.S. $4.9 trillion per day.)

One unique aspect of this international market is that there is no central marketplace for foreign exchange. Rather, currency trading is conducted electronically over-the-counter (OTC), which means that all transactions occur via computer networks between traders around the world, rather than on one centralized exchange. The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney – across almost every time zone. This means that when the trading day in the U.S. ends, the forex market begins anew in Tokyo and Hong Kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time of the day, with price quotes changing constantly.
