Multi-Family Investing GURU Rocked the House!

Last Sunday we hosted a full day of education with Apartment House Expert Dave Lindahl. I gotta tell you that we had a packed house. There were chairs lined up along the walls 2 deep on both sides. People began arriving an hour and a half early to claim the best seats in the house.

If you have never heard Dave teach before you need to make a point of going the next time he is near you. There is such a benefit to understanding market cycles and being able to figure out where to invest. Understanding these cycles is so important that I bought his bootcamp many years ago just for that little piece of the puzzle. That was so long ago that the home study course was on cassette tapes rather than CDs.

Some people have asked whom I learned my investment techniques from and I would have to say as many people as I could. Dave was one of the first, because he knows his stuff. I have taken his course and listened to the recordings many times. I did this even though I was a single family investor. When I decided it was time for me to move up to multi-family I dusted off the course and jumped right in. I didn’t miss a beat.

I am actually on an airplane right now heading to Boston to attend one of his bootcamps on investing and will be going to San Francisco next month to attend his Apartment House bootcamp again. I am going for a refresher to brush up on the things that are new and the latest trends in the industry. Well worth the time and the money required to do so.

I talked to many of the attendees this last weekend. Many were extremely worried of the state of investing in single family properties because of the new laws the state of Washington is passing regarding working with people in foreclosure. I know there are many people that are panicking because they don’t understand the new laws, how they are going to be implemented and enforced. The ambiguity is definitely a cause for concern.

Like you, I am anxious to find out how this will affect me. But I will tell you I am getting legal opinions rather than just listening to the hype that is out there. Listen to what a lawyer tells you and take everything else with a grain of salt. I have read the law. I know there is much that I will need to adapt to. My contracts must change and my marketing will change. But that is only pushing me toward multi-family rather than put up with these feel good, harm everyone laws that are being passed.

It is these times that the Winners will win and the Whiners will whine. Which are you? A Winner or a Whiner. Be a winner, invest in yourself and go out there and conquer the day.
