In this twenty-first episode we interview Nate Weinberg from Nate’s Rentals. Nate starts the episode by explaining the power of compounding interest and how keeping this tool in mind can you help you financially today. He then goes into detail on his portfolio of properties in both NY and KY. 

In this twentieth episode we interview Colin Stuart from Stuart Acquisitions. Colin started investing early by buying a 6 unit building as a college student.  After graduating he started working as an investment banker in NYC but quickly realized he wanted to go back to real estate investing full time. After only a few years in the business he owns and operates a 64 unit building with his partner Trevor.

Dan explains the extensive due diligence involved in such a project and what it was like diving into something new. The team also recently closed on a seasonal campsite in NY and they go into detail on why they plan on staying in this investment space. 

Instead of going through Bill's portfolio property by property, we jumped ahead to a few of the bigger purchases down the road. Bill shares how he was able to leverage connections and creative financing to scale his investments into the commercial space. Moving forward, we will be hosting guests on the podcast and interviewing them on their real estate collections. 

In this sixteenth episode Bill Hamel discusses the eighteenth investment property of his career. This property was a single-family home in the town of Ballston Lake and was a flip for Bill. In the episode Bill discusses challenges dealing with a well system and why he believes well should be avoided altogether. 

In this fifteenth episode Bill Hamel discusses the seventeenth investment property of his career. This was a mixed-use building that became Hamel Real Estate’s first office. The second floor of the building is an apartment and Bill eventually leased the office space on the first floor. A lot of this episode is spent discussing Bill’s mindset as he acquires his first office while trying to run and grow a property management company, and investment company and a brokerage all at the same time. 

In this fourteenth episode Bill Hamel discusses the sixteenth investment property of his career. This seven-unit building is the largest multifamily property of Bill’s career up until this point. The building was purchased during a time when properties were selling at a low price and this made the investment a cash cow. 

In this twelfth episode Bill Hamel discusses the fourteenth investment property of his career. A lot of this episode is spent discussing partnerships. Bill took on a new partnership with a friend from high school and it didn’t work out exactly as planned. Partnerships can be vital for growth but they can also backfire if treated correctly. 

In this eleventh episode Bill Hamel discusses the thirteenth investment property of his career. This property was another rental in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Albany. Bill discusses building a team as a contractor and getting comfortable with the construction rehab process. There is great discussion in this episode for any investor trying to scale their business.
