Real Estate Funds Business Expansion by Linda Pliagas, Realty411
The following article written by Linda Pliagas was published today in BiggerPockets.com and was specifically written for that website.
Cashflow from rentals is the best thing ever. I’ve been a landlord for 20 years now, and I am still in awe on how powerful a solid real estate portfolio can be. It’s wonderful how rental income can be used to help out during one of life’s many challenges.
Your passive income can be used in a variety of ways, and I’ve seen it used for many things: to chip away at existing debt, create a better lifestyle, or even put a kid or two through college.
I’ve personally known investors who have done all of the above, but perhaps the most interesting one for me has been when an investor uses his real estate to actually finance their career or business goals.
During my stint as a business and personal finance reporter for a variety of magazines, I interviewed a woman for Home Business Journal magazine who used her rental income to start up her public relations firm. She took out a loan on the property, which was owned free and clear and used the proceeds to start her business. The rental income more than paid for the loan and the property still cashflowed!
Her goal was to get her business going so she would not need all of nest egg and to eventually pay back the initial loan.
Recently, I implemented this strategy in my personal life and it’s a great example of how an investor’s rental cashflow can help fund a business endeavor.
From my recent transactions, which have numbered eight total in the past few years since my family and I left Los Angeles and moved to the Central Coast of California. Our Culver City home sold for $650,000 and we purchased a $300,000 home in Solvang, which expedited our ability to invest. Then the market shot up in appreciation in both Southern and Central California, where we were buying and selling properties, which also helped spur a growth in rental properties.
Last year my media business saw a strong spike in activity. (We publish real estate investment magazines, engage in social media marketing, produce email campaigns and live events nationwide.) What really shook things up was teaming up with another publisher to produce a monthly magazine, which created a lot more workload. Now we also help produce REI Wealth Monthly, so I knew the team I had in place would simply not be enough. I needed to hire more people and quickly, but to make it easier on my pocketbook, I decided to invest some cash reserves into two cashflowing rentals, which I could pick up at a discount locally.
My thought process was that these two cashflow properties would be used to pay for the additional payroll expenses that I would initially incur in hiring and training new staff.
That’s the beauty of real estate, it can create a better life for you, your family, and it can even give your business a boost! I can’t think of anything better for me to invest my hard-earned cash then into prime Golden State real estate!
From studying the local market, I know that we recently purchased two rental buy-and-hold properties for half of what they used to be back in 2005 – both were nearly $350,000 before, and we picked them up for less than $170,000 a piece. I predict that they will climb at least 30% in appreciation in the next five to seven years.
So for right now, these properties can help pay for the business expansion that I need. My goal is for the new employees to bring in enough revenue to more than pay for their own expenses in the next 90 days, so then I can revisit the idea again at that time or maybe use the cashflow to hire more people and start the expansion process all over again.
Whatever I choose to do, it’s nice knowing that the passive rental income that our properties generate can be used to help my family and I overcome obstacles in our personal and business lives. Real estate proceeds can be used in a variety of creative ways.
I hope this article has inspired you to use some of your realty earnings to make your business dreams or career goals come true.

Carrington Real Estate Services Expands its Coverage in New York, Illinois and Georgia with Three New Offices; Attracts New Leaders for Chicago and Valencia, California Locations
New local leadership will focus on driving continued growth and increasing agent production
FEBRUARY 25, 2014 – SANTA ANA, CA – Carrington Real Estate Services, LLC (Carrington), a corporately owned and operated national brokerage, today announced that it has once again expanded its coverage to support real estate consumers across the U.S. In response to growing demand in multiple key markets, the company has added offices in Farmingville, New York, Stockbridge, Georgia and Arlington Heights, Illinois, and has appointed new local leadership in Chicago and Valencia, California.
Carrington’s new Farmingville, Stockbridge and Arlington Heights brick and mortar locations offer multiple branding opportunities and will be led by Local Office Leaders Rachel Fernandez, Dionne Fuller and Paul Ambrogio, respectively. Other leadership appointments include Local Office Leaders Lori Wyatt in Chicago and Melanie Goocher in Valencia, California. Drawing from their extensive industry experience and local market knowledge, Fernandez, Fuller, Ambrogio, Wyatt and Goocher will work toward proactively driving growth in their respective regions, adding agents to meet increasing demand and providing those agents with the professional guidance necessary to ensure the exceptional service for which Carrington has become known.
“As Carrington further expands its business and geographic reach, we are attracting some of the best local leadership the industry has to offer, and creating tangible new opportunities for professionals to grow their careers in real estate – from first-time agents to more experienced individuals and teams looking for just the right brokerage to partner with,” said Carrington Real Estate Services Executive Vice President and Head of Global Operations Wendy Forsythe. “By remaining deeply invested in the continuous career development of our people and in empowering them to provide superior service within their respective markets, Carrington strengthens our commitment to both real estate sales professionals and the clients they serve.”
Local Office Leader Rachel Fernandez became a real estate broker in 1992 following a successful career in high-end retail sales management. Her passion for real estate empowered her to establish and lead her own full-service real estate brokerage serving various markets in the New York area. Now part of Carrington, Fernandez and her team in Farmingville, New York are poised for further expansion, growing their operation to effectively support increasing consumer demand within this region. Fernandez is an active member in her community, a member of the Long Island Board of REALTORS®, the National Association of REALTORS, the Multiple Listing Service, the National Association of Hispanic REALTORS and the National Association of Women REALTORS, and is a certified REO Specialist.
Real estate has always been a passion for Local Office Leader Dionne Fuller, who opens Carrington’s Stockbridge, Georgia location with seven agents and an aggressive plan to grow that sales team to 50 within the next year. Fuller has spent the past 26 years working in many facets across the industry, making her a key resource for a variety of real estate clients. Beyond real estate sales, she has previous experience in commercial property management with corporate property investors and residential management as a regional manager for national and local real estate, property management and development companies. Fuller has been a licensed real estate agent since 2007, holds a Georgia Broker’s License, and has been a member of the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Institute of Real Estate Management, and the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC).
Local Office Leader Paul Ambrogio is an Illinois real estate broker of 23 years with a reputation for motivating his agents to consistently achieve optimal customer satisfaction. As an independent, Ambrogio established a successful full-service real estate brokerage to serve the Illinois counties of Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane and McHenry, effectively accommodating the needs of clients in these culturally-diverse markets by hiring seasoned sales associates who are fluent in the languages spoken in these areas: Spanish, Polish, Russian, Hindi, Tagalog/Philippine, Fookien (Chinese), Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian and Serbian. As part of Carrington, Ambrogio’s 10-person office in Arlington Heights, Illinois is preparing for rapid growth in order to provide exceptional service to even more consumers.
Chicago Local Office Leader Lori Wyatt joins Carrington with 20 years of experience in real estate sales and marketing. A natural leader and mentor, Wyatt has a proven ability to attract top talent and train agents in ways that noticeably enhance their skills and empower them to grow their careers while boosting brand recognition at the regional level. Wyatt has been recognized as a top residential producer with the Chicago Association of REALTORS (CAR) every year since 2000. She is a graduate of Columbia College, a licensed CAR broker and a certified instructor with the Illinois Association of REALTORS.
Melanie Goocher joined Carrington in 2012 and was recently promoted to Local Office Leader in Valencia, California – a prime example of the growth opportunities available to motivated and productive Carrington agents. Goocher began her real estate career at the age of 18 as a sales agent for Century 21 in Garland, Texas, where she became a top listing agent and was named REO team manager within her first year. Several years later, she obtained her broker’s license and started her own firm, quickly growing the business to 60 agents and demonstrating her skill as an effective mentor. Now a Southern California resident of five years, Goocher continues to find joy in watching brand new agents grow in their careers from completing their very first closings to becoming top industry producers.
