Nick and Jeremy talk about the real cost of staying disorganized in real estate and small business.Nick shares his own painful mistakes: forgetting to cancel insurance and utilities after flips (costing him hundreds every time), a $230 gas bill that went to collections and nearly wrecked his perfect credit, and why hiring a bookkeeper backfired badly for him.They also discuss simple fixes like using checklists, keeping QuickBooks yourself, and separating bank accounts for each property so nothing falls through the cracks.Raw stories and practical lessons every investor and agent needs to hear.🔗 Connect with us:Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShedNick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridgeReal Estate Website: northidahorei.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/#RealEstateInvesting #RealEstateAgent #SmallBusinessTips #BusinessOrganization #RealEstatePodcast #InvestorShed #TimeManagement #FlippingHouses #RealEstateTips

Jeremy was too busy for us today. Luckily Brett Shoemaker stepped in to share his secrets. Enjoy.

Jeremy and I are sitting inside a house I'm flipping on Stephanie St in Post Falls. We break down what I paid, what the rehab is costing, and what the numbers should look like on the other side. Plus a walkthrough of the place and some flipping tips we've picked up the hard way.

🚨 Emergency episode from the office! Nick calls Jeremy in because he hasn’t slept in days — he just built his own AI assistant named Kyle Reese running locally on a Mac Mini using OpenClaw.This isn’t regular ChatGPT stuff. This AI actually does the work: answers calls, sends texts, books appointments, edits content, manages the mastermind, and is already working on making money on its own.Nick and Jeremy talk about how AI just jumped from “helpful tool” to “second brain that takes action.” Jeremy also shares how he’s now editing real estate photos 10x faster and cheaper with AI.We get into the scary side too — security risks, job changes coming fast, and why you should either jump on this wave or get left behind.Plus: Kyle already has his own phone number, credit card, and bank account… and he’s texting the team about Playboys at the flip house.If you’re a real estate investor, agent, or small business owner, this one will blow your mind.🔗 Connect with us:Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShedNick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridgeReal Estate Website: northidahorei.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/Join our free mastermind (while it lasts): https://www.skool.com/investor-shed-mastermind-3760/about?ref=3954156a8a584514a27931cc84f33c46#OpenClaw #AIAssistant #RealEstateAI #ArtificialIntelligence #RealEstateInvesting #RealEstateAgent #RealEstatePhotography #AIinBusiness #InvestorShed #NorthIdahoRealEstate #FutureOfWork #MacMiniAI

🚨 New scam you need to know about if you're selling a house, investing in real estate, or helping clients.On this episode, Nick & Jeremy break down "Title Ransom" (aka Greenmail Recording). Scammers offer a strong cash price to get a property under contract, then demand a huge price drop. When the seller says no, they record the contract anyway, cloud the title, and demand big cancellation fees — sometimes $15k–$35k — to go away.It’s happening now, even in our backyard. These guys have zero intention of closing. They’re just banking on distressed sellers not having time or money to fight it.We share real stories from deals that got messed up and what sellers & agents should watch out for. If an offer sounds too good to be true, especially from out-of-state buyers, be careful.Also in this one: merino wool shirts & underwear talk, Penny Bee’s soap (code SHED for 10% off), smelly salts, flip updates, and why we’re both over Facebook.If you own property or work with real estate investors, this one’s worth a listen.🔗 Connect with us:Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShedNick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridgeReal Estate Website: northidahorei.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/Join our free mastermind (while it lasts): https://www.skool.com/investor-shed-mastermind-3760/about?ref=3954156a8a584514a27931cc84f33c46#RealEstateScams #TitleRansom #Greenmail #RealEstateInvesting #CashBuyers #HouseFlipping #RealEstateAgent #NorthIdahoRealEstate #InvestorShedPodcast

Real estate investors, agents, flippers, and entrepreneurs – don’t skip this one! Hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen tackle the controversial advice floating around: Should new investors avoid networking events and meetups because of “gurus” and sales pitches?Key takeaways:Networking is STILL one of the fastest ways to build deals, find partners, lenders, contractors, and off-market opportunitiesYour network = your net worth – connections solve problems faster and open doors you didn’t know existedNot all advice is equal: Vet who you listen to (experience matters more than loud online opinions)Go with purpose: Have a “shopping list” (e.g., need a roofer? Hard money? Private lender?) so you’re selling YOUR needs, not just being soldRed flags vs. reality: Con artists exist everywhere (even Costco!), but most people at meetups are genuinely helpful – focus on building real relationshipsSuccess stories: Deals closed, partnerships formed, problems solved – all from showing up consistentlyPro tip: You’re either selling or being sold – walk in intentional, leave with winsPerfect for beginners wondering where to start and veterans sharpening their edge.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 1 of the Investor Shed Podcast with hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen! 🎙️ In this kickoff episode, we dive into the concept of "all time lows" – not just the US dollar's declining purchasing power, but how it impacts your financial future. From skyrocketing asset prices like gold, silver, and real estate to the pitfalls of leaving your money in a savings account, we break it all down. 💸 We explore three hypothetical scenarios starting in 1973 with a $5,000 inheritance: buying a home, saving it in a bank, or investing in an index fund. Spoiler alert: one choice leads to a net worth of over $1 million by 2025! 🏠📈 We also touch on Jeremy’s adventures in trading Pokémon cards at card shows and Nick’s off-grid cabin project, sharing real-world lessons on diversification, investing, and avoiding the trap of idle cash. Whether you're a real estate investor, agent, or small business owner, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you make your money work harder. 💪 🔑 Key Takeaways: The US dollar’s value is at all-time lows due to inflation – don’t let your savings lose purchasing power! Diversify your investments across real estate, stocks, or alternative assets like silver or crypto. Real estate and index funds can significantly outperform traditional savings over time. Take action with your money – sitting on cash is a slow financial death. 🐸🔥 🔗 Connect with us: Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShed Nick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridge Real Estate Website: northidahorei.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/ Join our FREE Investor Shed Mastermind (while it lasts!): https://www.skool.com/investor-shed-mastermind-3760/about?ref=3954156a8a584514a27931cc84f33c46 📢 Why Watch?

Dive into raw entrepreneurship with hosts Nick Beveridge (real estate investor, agent & team leader) and Jeremy Kitchen (hard money lender & Ginger Snap Media owner) on the Investor Shed Podcast! In this unscripted episode born from pre-show chats, Jeremy opens up about leveling up his real estate media business—from starting as Nick's employee in a struggling startup to solo hitting $99K last year and blasting past $100K this summer. Learn how he revived Ginger Snap Media after ditching hard money brokering (spoiler: market crash timing sucked), outworked the competition with 18-hour days, and netted 60% profits through grit and focus. Key takeaways for real estate investors, agents & small business owners: Business pivots: Why committing 100% explodes growth—even in "dying" models like real estate photography/videography. Goal-setting traps: Nick's embarrassing $62K real estate goal (hit it on the nose—then regretted the low bar) vs. shooting for stars to uncover true potential. Scaling hacks: Offload editing ($0.70-$1/photo), implement HighLevel CRM ($97/mo for lead capture, automation & follow-ups), and build funnels with free MLS-sized photos/videos of Idaho hotspots (Hayden Lake, Coeur d'Alene parks) to hook agents into paid lifetime reels & custom content. AI-powered growth: Jeremy's $6K Alex Hormozi Acquisition AI for playbooks, accountability & tailored advice—train it on your biz for next steps without hair loss! Lead gen & retention: Nurture 200+ agent contacts with 2-call + text + voicemail sequences; give free value to filter serious clients. Work-life reality: Why ownership beats employee splits; offloading admin to hire VAs; Nick's flip gone wrong ($45K over budget, 2-month market sit—lesson: fix presentation issues pre-listing for that "wow" factor). Family first: Balancing hustle with bow hunting, kid time & avoiding optional financial emergencies. Real estate pros: Demand for pro media is BOOMING—ditch iPhone pics for branded systems that drive listings & social engagement. Investors: Hard money truths—broker vs. own capital. Small biz owners: Consistency crushes talent; automate or get run over by AI users.

Join hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen on the Investor Shed Podcast for S5E23: "Real Estate Flips, Retirement Hacks & Crypto Gains: Inside Our Latest Deals & Wealth-Building Strategies." In this casual catch-up, Nick (a real estate agent connecting investors nationwide) and Jeremy (a hard money lender) dive into fresh real estate deals, retirement account tips, and smart investing moves. From flipping houses in Kellogg to building cabins and funding renovations, they share how they're navigating a tough market while growing wealth through IRAs, 401ks, stocks, and crypto. Perfect for real estate investors, agents, and small business owners looking to flip properties, lend hard money, or diversify without the headaches. Key Topics Covered: Real estate updates: Nick's Kellogg flip (4-bed/2-bath at $260K purchase, $365K ARV, $13K reno) and Pinehurst building lots ($120K for two, 50/50 profit split with an excavator)—plus tips on inspections, sewer checks, and collateralizing deals. Retirement strategies: IRA vs. 401k differences (e.g., $7K IRA limit vs. $23K + 25% match in 401k), Roth options for tax-free growth, and self-directing funds into private notes at 16-18% returns. Investing wins: Options trading (Nick's $1K morning gain), crypto auto-buys (Bitcoin at ~$118,062changelly.com, Shiba Inu at ~$0.000015changelly.com), and staking for yields—plus recent crypto legislation like the GENIUS Act (passed July 2025, regulating stablecoins)whitehouse.gov. Personal banter: Camping sausages, cabin builds gone over budget ($260K vs. $50K plan), and why higher-risk lending (18% returns) beats low-yield rentals. Pro tips: Buy right to avoid losses, watch for market dips as buying opportunities, and use networks for agent referrals or hard money. Key Takeaways: Flip smart: Aim for 70-75% ARV deals; use hard money for 100% funding but add collateral for better terms. Retirement power: Max 401k contributions ($35K+ possible) for tax-free real estate plays—Jeremy's $22.5K IRA at 16% yields $300/month. Crypto edge: Hold Bitcoin amid 2025 highs; recent GENIUS Act boosts adoption, potentially driving SHIB/BTC rallies. Risk reminder: Options can wipe out gains; invest what you can lose, and season flips (90 days for FHA). Future-proof: Diversify into assisted living or AI-resistant assets; contact Nick for nationwide referrals or Jeremy for hard money. Not financial advice—for education and entertainment only. Data like Bitcoin (~$118,062) and SHIB (~$0.000015) reflect July 21, 2025 snapshots and may fluctuate; verify on CoinGecko or Yahoo Finance.

Dive into the latest episode of the Investor Shed Podcast with hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen! We kick things off with hot takes on the Elon Musk-Trump fallout, the DOGE Act's short-lived run, skyrocketing national debt ($36 trillion?!), and how a "tsunami of innovation" in AI, robotics, and humanoid bots (from Tesla, Apple, Google) could reshape the economy, GDP, and real estate investing. Will AI robots build your next property or wipe out jobs? We break it down for real estate investors, agents, and small business owners navigating these wild times. Then, we pivot to actionable real estate strategies: Land Contracts (aka Contract for Deed) – the ultimate low-barrier entry to owning land! Nick shares his fresh deal on a 20-acre Idaho parcel: just $2,000 down, $1,000/month payments at 5% interest over 30 years, no bank qualification, no appraisals, and full privacy (title stays with seller until paid off). Pros: Fast closing, flexible seller financing, build/use/sell like it's yours. Cons: Risk of forfeiture if payments lapse (watch those grace periods!). Perfect for off-grid cabins, hunting getaways, or long-term holds – especially with future AI tech boosting land values. Whether you're flipping properties, hunting unicorn deals, or prepping for an apocalypse retreat, this episode packs tips on creative financing, debt management, and why land is still king (they ain't making more!). Tune in for laughs, insights, and real talk on balancing fun buys with smart investing. Key Takeaways: Economy & Tech Impact: Short-term spending boosts vs. long-term disaster? AI/robotics could explode GDP – think Tesla Bots mowing lawns or industrial labor in 10 years. Land Contract Basics: Seller keeps title; buyer gets possession. Low down (as little as $3,500 historically), amortized payments, no balloons here! Nick's Deal Deets: 20 acres in St. Maries, ID – $190K purchase, mountain views, easements for access, off-grid plans (solar, well, septic). Not an investment flip, but a recreational gem with upside. Risks & Safeguards: Forfeiture vs. foreclosure – build in 90-day grace periods. Great for sellers avoiding foreclosure hassles. Pro Tip: Use escrow for tracked payments; privacy bonus – not in your name publicly!

From evaluating your portfolio’s cash flow to systematizing your operations, this is a no-fluff discussion about what actually works (and what doesn’t) when you’ve got a few deals under your belt. They cover practical strategies like streamlining your holdings, optimizing your debt structure, and building a bulletproof team. You’ll also hear their thoughts on bookkeeping (and why QuickBooks might be enough — but not for everyone), setting up LLCs for asset protection, and how to think about refinancing, trust structures, and raising private capital. 👀 A quick reminder: This show is based on personal experience and real-world practice.

Welcome back to another episode of the Investor Shed Podcast with Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen! In this deep-dive follow-up to our original hard money episode, we're breaking down exactly how hard money loans work, what they really cost, and what new and experienced investors should know before using one. We cover every hidden fee, including reconveyance, appraisals, draw fees, and the cost of extending your loan. You’ll also learn how to structure deals to avoid losing thousands in unexpected costs — and how hard money can be a powerful tool (or a trap) depending on your experience level. Whether you're flipping homes, BRRRRing rentals, or considering becoming a lender yourself, this episode gives you the tactical knowledge to protect your margins and avoid costly surprises. 🎯 What You'll Learn: ✔️ The true cost breakdown of hard money loans (with real math) ✔️ How points, fees, and interest add up — fast ✔️ The Five C’s of Lending: Credit, Cash, Credentials, Character, Collateral ✔️ How lenders think, what they look for, and how they mitigate risk ✔️ When hard money is a smart tool — and when it’s not ✔️ How reconveyance, draw, and escrow fees work ✔️ Real estate investing tips to plan smarter and flip with confidence ✔️ Should you partner, or just borrow? Pros and cons discussed ✔️ Using spreadsheets to analyze and track deal profitability 📢 Clarification on Rates: In the episode, we briefly mention some hard money lenders offering 3%–4% interest — that was a mistake. 👉 Typical hard money rates are 8%–14%, depending on experience, deal quality, and loan terms. Rates significantly lower than that are either: From private individuals, not professional lenders Structured with high backend fees, or From inexperienced lenders not fully accounting for risk Always ask for a full fee schedule, including extension fees and penalties. Never evaluate a hard money loan by interest rate alone. 💡 Pro Tip: A solid rule of thumb: Expect 10% of your loan amount in total fees if you hold the property for about six months. Plan accordingly — and run the numbers before you close. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction and Overview of Hard Money Loans 05:57 – Who Uses Hard Money Loans and Why? 11:51 – The Five C’s of Hard Money Lending 17:59 – Analyzing Hard Money Loan Examples 25:04 – The Role of Appraisals and Broker's Price Opinions 30:48 – Reconveyance and Payoff Fees Explained 35:57 – Building Relationships as a Lender 41:52 – Understanding the Costs of Flipping Properties 🔗 Connect with us: Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShed Nick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridge Real Estate Website: northidahorei.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/ 📈 Hashtags & Keywords: #HardMoneyLoans #RealEstateInvesting #LoanFees #HardMoneyLending #FlippingHouses #FinancingRealEstate #InterestRates #EscrowFees #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategies #FiveCsOfLending #Reconveyance #RealEstatePodcast #InvestorShedPodcast #NickBeveridge #JeremyKitchen #NorthIdahoRealEstate #PropertyInvestment #PrivateLending #RealEstateFinance
