In this weeks show we'll be speaking with commercial real estate investor, Ash Patel. Ash is quite the visionary as he commonly takes vacant and/or commercial properties and repositions them into highly valuable investments. And the best part, Ash did most of this all while working a full-time IT job. He has since gone full-time as a Real estate Investor, but you could say that he built a very successful real estate investment business in his part-time. I'm positive that you'll find our show with Ash both inspiring and motivational…I know I did. Here's what you'll learn in todays show. How Ash made the transition from being a full-time IT consultant to a full-time real estate investor. Why he prefers commercial investments to residential? The reasons why he was forced him to remain vacant for more than 6 months in one of his multifamily properties and the lessons he learned from this experience. Why he feels local bank relationships are paramount in this business, especially when it comes to smaller scale commercial projects. The opportunity he saw in a vacant single use tenant building that had an abnormally small amount of parking and turn it into a highly desirable asset. How he's been able to find all of his recent deals without having to do any direct marketing strategies like direct mail or cold calling. How he's been able to hedge his risk from another potential real estate down cycle by negotiating longer terms with his banks and also selling off any of his higher priced assets. Why he feels that there are a ton of opportunities that exist on the local MLS, not Loopnet or CoStar, but the local MLS. The reasons he wishes he would have sought out a mentor in the very beginning to help offset his learning curve and how he would have gone about finding this mentor.

Our guest for this week's show is Deferred Sales Trust Expert, Richard Hershey. In today's show, I'll be speaking with Richard about this 1031 exchange alternative called the deferred sales trust. If you've ever been involved in a 1031 transaction before then you know that the short time constraints can be absolutely nerve wrecking and a failed 1031 can leave your money tied up for up to 6 months, and worst yet, a failed 1031 means that all those capital gains you were trying to avoid paying will now be fully realized. Well, welcome to what I'd like to refer to as your 1031 plan "B". Whether you're a new investor or seasoned pro, I'm positive that you'll get a ton of value from my interview with Richard today. In this show with Richard you're going to learn: What exactly a deferred sales trust is and how this estate planning instrument can offer you an alternative to a 1031 exchange and actually become a "plan B" or failsafe in case you encounter a failed 1031 exchange, The benefits of being able to purchase investments other than just real estate from your sales proceeds by use of the deferred sales trust. These investments could be bonds, stocks, annuities, etc. The costs and fees associated with this type of structure. How, we real estate investors can use this as a strategy when dealing with sellers who don't have an interest in buying more property and who also have a fully depreciated asset that will have some major tax consequences should they sell. In my business I deal with a lot of mom and pop sellers who are in this exact scenario where a deferred sales trust would be the perfect way for them to sell their property without having to exchange into another active real estate investment while still mitigating their exposure to uncle sam.
