Ep #129: Preparing for the Coming Market Shift and Building a Cash Flowing Portfolio that Can Withstand Any Downturn - with Matt Theriault

Our guest for this week's show is Commercial and Residential Real Estate Investment Expert, Matt Theriault.

In today's show we're going to be speaking with Matt about how he got his start as a Real Estate investor after hitting rock bottom and how he has been able to build a significant portfolio of cash flowing passive real estate investments with very little of his own money and bad credit.

Matt holds a very diverse portfolio of investment types including multifamily and single family and shares with us the many reasons why he prefers the diversity of owning both types. In addition, he also shares with us his unique perspective on the shirting real estate cycles and how he and his team are both adapting and preparing for a future correction. And in case you are familiar with who Matt is, he's a fellow podcaster who runs numerous real estate related podcasts, with the most popular one being Epic Real Estate Investing.

I actually recorded this show with Matt a few months back and so you'll hear us talk about a few things that are a little dated like the election, which hadn't happened yet. I'm absolutely positive that you'll gain great value from our show together as I know I did.

• The story behind his first investment and how he took a large single family residence and converted it into a legal 4-plex and what he learned along the way.

• The multiple "out-of-the-box" methods his team is utilizing to uncover deals in this very tight market.
