Jay Conner began investing in real estate in 2003. At the start of his career, he relied on his local banker and was able to put together a few deals. However, that also meant coming up with large down payments, paying origination fees, and signing personal guarantees on every deal. After years of feeling owned by the bank and being stressed out, he learned how to buy properties using creative financing, including subject-to and using lease-options. After the market crashed in 2008, his banker cut him off. Jay had to abandon everything he knew about how to finance his deals. Then, he heard about the world of private money. He developed his own system for gathering millions of dollars for real estate deals. Over several years, Jay refined his system until it was repeatable and dependable. When he put it to the test, the first person he approached gave him $250,000 in private money. In just a few short months, Jay raised $2,150,000 in private money. Despite initially cursing his banker, Jay now thanks him. Jay's unique system allows him to enjoy 7-figure profits year after year. He also has the freedom to work less than 10 hours per week in his real estate investing business by leveraging the power of automation.Connect with Jay:Website: www.jayconner.com/bookYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@raisingprivatemoneyrealestateConnect with me:Instagram: @Wendellpbutleriv, @RealestatetakeEmail: [email protected] Website: www.wendellbutler.com DISCLAIMER: I or any guests being interviewed on the “Real Estate Take” podcast are not responsible for any investment decisions that you make or capital losses incurred.

Brandon Schwab has been a serial entrepreneur since the age of 15 and brings over 25 years of operational experience to his role as the founder and CEO of Shepherd Premier Senior Living. Since its founding in 2014, Brandon has dedicated himself to fundamentally improving the senior living industry. Driven by a deeply personal mission to create resident-focused care, Brandon's journey began after witnessing his grandfather receive subpar care in a traditional senior living facility. Determined to find a better way, Brandon discovered the boutique senior living model in 2014, where small, cozy homes like Sutton Homes in Orlando, Florida, provided an inspiring alternative to large, institutional facilities.Brandon is passionate about creating a compassionate and dignified experience for seniors, focusing on high-quality, personalized care rather than profit margins. His boutique senior living model offers a 1:5 caregiver-to-resident ratio, far exceeding the national average of 1:15-20, ensuring attentive and individualized care. This innovative approach, which prioritizes the well-being of residents over corporate profit, has positioned Brandon as both a disruptor and visionary in the industry. Today, he leads Shepherd Premier Senior Living with a clear purpose: to raise the standard of care for the “greatest generation” by transforming senior living from an impersonal business model into a deeply impactful, community-oriented experience.Connect with Brandon:[email protected] or call 847-512-3990 (Derek - Brandon’s Assistant)Calendly is on www.BrandonSchwab.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonschwab/Connect with me:Instagram: @Wendellpbutleriv, @Realestatetake, @HammerheadcapitalincEmail: [email protected]: www.hhcapitalrealty.com DISCLAIMER: I or any guests being interviewed on the “Real Estate Take” podcast are not responsible for any investment decisions that you make or capital losses incurred.

Welcome to the “Real Estate Take” podcast! This is episode #1 featuring Andrew Freed. Andrew started off on the W2 track as a project manager and ascended through the corporate ladder from company to company, always looking for the next higher paying job. Then after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, just like many others, he came to the realization that the rat race is a 30–40-year journey which seems like an eternity. Why not take the leap and try for financial freedom in the next 10 years? Worst case, you can just go back to the workforce and take the traditional retirement path to 65. After that epiphany, he was determined to take action. He obtained a home line of credit (HELOC) on his one-bedroom condo in Boston and bought 7 deals over the course of 2 years; he purchased four 3 families and one 5 unit in Worcester, MA. He also joined 2 apartment building syndications as a limited partner, one in Lowell MA and the other in Phoenix AZ. He currently still works his W2, owns and self manages 18 rental units and is an investor focused real estate agent in the Worcester Massachusetts area.
