Twin Cities Real Estate Investing Show # 27

"Inside the Mind of a Wholesaler with Brad Smith"

Brad Smith is the owner/operation of iBuyMSP, a local wholesaling company. Brad sits down with the boys for an hour and shares his mindset, approach, frustrations, and unique insights into the world of wholesaling in the Twin Cities.

Brad got his MN start in the contracting world, a perfect resume for a good investor/wholesaler. We really only scratch the surface of how much valuable information a guy like Brad can bring to our show, and I'm looking forward to booking him a second time later this year.

"For the Love of Old Homes w/ Claire Johnston"

If you listen to this podcast, there is a pretty good chance you follow @minncenturymod on instagram. And if you don't - now you do! Claire Johnston began posting her DIY home renovation journey back in 2018, bought her first rental in 2020, and then got her real estate license ... and the rest is history!

We talk with Claire about her journey from DIYer to influencer and her transition from corporate work to self-employment. Her portfolio may be small (so far..) but she is going for quality over quantity , and not slowing down anytime soon. This is just my opinion, but I think a lot of Claire's success on social media is due to her top-notch instincts when it comes to color and design, along with how she makes home renovating feel accessible to the newbs online.

Twin Cities Real Estate Investing Show #25 How Matt Schober Invests Intelligently and Consistently with a Day Job

Matt Schober is a real estate investor living in St Paul. Matt got his start investing out of state after college - and immediately got the investing bug. He then moved back to the Twin Cities with his family, investing in a string of 1-4 unit properties throughout Minneapolis. Today Matt runs a tech-focused consulting business, meaning that focusing on his properties is no longer the highest and best use of his time - and he’s structured his life around this reality.

Matt goes through the timeline of his investing journey, moving his wealth from another market into the Twin Cities, and how his experience has sharpened his analysis skills. Tim and Adam then jump into some macro economics discussions surrounding the tariffs, and how this may or may not affect our local REI market.

Twin Cities Real Estate Investing Show #24

"How Tucker Mortier Went From Newbie to 10 Doors in 3 Years"

Tucker Mortier is a real estate investor living in St Paul. His impressive run of 3 owner-occupied duplexes in 3 years is a great blueprint for anyone looking to leverage a few moves into a modest portfolio of small multifamily. Tucker isn’t slowing down anytime soon, having just closed his first commerical deal on a contract for deed.

Tucker is a real easy-going guy, doesn’t take things too seriously. We hear about some of his landlord-tenant relation struggles, duplex negotiations, and how he managed to pull of one of the best seller-finance terms we’ve heard on this show. We’d love to have Tucker back on the show 3 years from now to see how far he takes this winning streak!

Twin Cities Real Estate Investing Show #20 - "My Real Estate Dad", Will Rolf

Will Rolf is a real estate broker, manager, and investor living in Cathedral Hill, St Paul. Will invested in real estate consistently throughout the 1990s and 2000s as he worked as a Realtor in St Paul, allowing Will to retire from full-time sales around 2010. He got his start buying small multifamily and single-family homes, eventually scaling to larger commercial properties, including restaurants, sober living, and other mixed-use buildings.

Will Rolf is not my (Adam's) actual Dad, but he has helped me immensely throughout the last decade. Most of this help is through leading by example - the way Will carries himself as a father, business owner, community member, landlord, and friend is admirable. He is very kind and down to earth. He takes care of his family. Will also gave me a chance back before I had any connections or a pot to piss in, and I'll always be grateful for that. This episode is a bit different than the others, but I hope you all enjoy it!
