The fastest way to start building that passive income is to acquire the assets that are going to pay for it. The fastest way to acquire the assets is to use other people's money." - Erik Hitzelberger   "The number one way to get into real estate is to find a dealer and find a way to make money on it. But don't always shoot yourself short. Maybe there are other options, other strategies that could make sense besides saving up a bunch of money." - Jared Kelley   "The money is the easy part. There's a lot of money out there and it's sitting on the sidelines and people would gladly give it to you if you can show them a way to turn a profit from. If you can put together the deal, the money will come." - Erik Hitzelberger   "Sometimes we forget that our trade or our knowledge is worth something and it doesn't just have to be money that's on the table. Buying is the number one thing to do. If you buy right, the money's going to fall." - Jared Kelley   "You don't have to jump all into this multimillion-dollar rental company. It doesn't need to be multifamily, that's not maybe a starting point for you. It could be for somebody if you find the right deal. But for those who are just starting out, it can be smaller steps." - Ryan Breznik   "The worst place you can have your money is in cash. The higher the inflation rate, the worse that is. Everyone should have a savings account to cover unexpected costs. After that, the money that you have is losing value every single day. “ - Erik Hitzelberger   "If you're not working on developing your own operational plan for your finances, no one else is. It's just sitting there. Time goes by and time's never on your side." - Erik Hitzelberger   "Don't beat yourself up about those past mistakes. But utilizing them and analyzing that portion of your life or where you are as an investor is important." - Ryan Breznik   "Somebody is going to control your finances. Somebody is going to control your time. I think that person should be you. You're doing yourself a huge disservice if it's not you. So take the actions, find the right people, get yourself educated, and get started." - Erik Hitzelbeger   How to get connected: Jared Kelley Ryan Breznik Erik Hitzelberger   Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSON   Call (858) 925- 4536   Website  LinkedIn  Facebook Instagram

Ep45 - Whiskey and Real Estate: Round Table Discussion with Erik Hitzelberger, Ryan Breznik, and Jared Kelley

Finance is an integral part of our lives and plays a key role in each of our life events. While it is true that the way we handle our personal finances has a direct impact on every aspect of our lives, most of us lack the knowledge and skills necessary to manage our finances effectively.   In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, our guest, Erik Hitzelberger will discuss how an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be used to achieve financial freedom in a number of unique ways. He will focus on the topic of Self-directed IRA as a tool for investing in real estate. In addition to property investment, Erik will also share some creative ways of maximizing the potential of an IRA.   His insight about Individual Retirement Account (IRA):  There is a limit on how much you can contribute to your IRA, but there's no limit on what you can make.    Erik Hitzelberger is the Founder of the Freedom Property Group (FPG), Kentucky’s premiere turn-key rental provider. Knowing that financial literacy is not taught in most academic institutions, Erik has made it his mission to educate people on how to manage their personal finances and achieve financial freedom.

And yet we're not given any education at any point. People tell you, 'Oh, just blindly dump money into a 401k or whatever. And that's the solution.' And it turns out it’s not." - Erik Hitzelberger   "One of the things people don't really know is that you can do most of the same investing that we do outside of our IRA with our traditional money inside of an IRA." - Erik Hitzelberger   "One of the biggest things that you do have to be careful of with a self-directed IRA is there are disqualified entities and these are people that you can't do business with. And it is generally a vertical family tree. You can't do business with yourself, your spouse, your parents, or your children." - Erik Hitzelberger   "Personal finance and managing your money is one of the most important things that you're going to do in life and yet we're not given any education at any point."- Erik Hitzelberger   Get in touch with Erik Hitzelberger Call (502) 921 3989 Email Website LinkedIn   Connect with JAY JOHNSON Call (858) 925- 4536 Website  LinkedIn  Facebook Instagram

Ep40 - What is an IRA: Maximizing financial freedom with an IRA with Erik Hitzelberger

My guest today is Louisville investor Erik Hitzelberger.  Erik and his partner Bryan Snider are the founders of Louisville's premier turnkey investing company Freedom Property Group. They have built a successful business buying houses and rehabbing them to top notch standards.  From there, these properties either go into their portfolio of rentals or they are sold to a turnkey investor.  Their company is a little bit different because they don't think of themselves as a real estate company. They are a company that provides financial education and investment opportunities, while consistently providing a great rate of return while managing risk. They also understand how important it is to have a clearly defined "why".  At the end of the day, it's not just the money that gets you through the hard times. If your why isn't big enough, you will throw in the towel when the going gets rough.  In today's show we talk about goals and your why, but we also talk about understanding what investing really is.  You're also going to learn what it takes to build wealth.  In the next show in this series with Erik,we are going to talk financial education and why that's so critical for success. Be sure to stop by the Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog for more great content on building a successful real estate investing business.   Coming up... REI Marketing Mastery. This one of a kind event is being held in Nashville, TN on May 19th and 20th 2018.  Be sure to check it out here at this link:  REI Marketing Mastery.   .
