Affordable housing. We all like to complain about how expensive things are, but at the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m willing to tell you the hard truth. I’m not some activist by any means; my views come from decades of experience buying, selling, and managing millions of dollars of properties in America’s Heartland. And the hard truth is that affordable homes aren’t a question of money, it’s a question of qualifications. If you’re a landlord like me or a bank, you check someone’s credit score before you work with them. And many people don’t qualify for favorable treatment. Watch this episode to hear me break down in detail why there’s no magic bullet for affordable housing.

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is a lot shorter than usual because I’m doing a reaction video. I’m reacting to Mark Shapiro, a real estate investor and influencer. (Not to be confused with Mark Shapiro of TKO or Mark Shapiro of Moneyball). Shapiro recently did a video making the claim that everything a woman does is meaningless to a man except being able to support him and grow with him. Watch this video to hear my take on it. You’ll want to hear from my experience as a husband and a real estate investor.

This is the video for you. In this video, I’m going to explain to you why the conditions are perfect for a severe crash in real estate prices. Now this is terrible news for most investors, but for the smartest and savviest ones, it’s great news. I’m going to show you why I predict this upcoming crash and how you, yes you, can take advantage of it by planning for it right now. Watch this video for more.

Welcome to another episode of Ask Uncle Darin on the Heartland Multifamily Show, where I offer folksy wisdom that comes from my decades of experience in investing, but also in life. Today, I’m talking about sales. Some people don’t like salespeople. Even some salespeople don’t like salespeople. And I don’t understand why, because sales make the world go ‘round. The best salespeople give you what you need when you need it, and that's why I appreciate salespeople. If you want to learn more about why salespeople are more important than you might realize, watch this video.

You want to be a successful Multifamily Investor. It’s not as simple as investing some money and then sitting back and collecting your checks. It’s a lot of work, and there’s a lot of risk involved. There is a good chance you’ll fail, and there are three reasons specifically why you’re likely to fail. In this episode, Isaiah and I discuss those three reasons. The first is the signal and the noise. As an investor, there are a lot of things competing for your attention, and you have to prioritize the ones that get you results from the ones that get you distracted. Second, every day is a roller coaster. You’re going to have ups and downs, and often at the same time. You need the emotional fitness to keep going when everything depends on you keeping a clear head. Finally, there is stress and pressure. It’s a stressful job, and you’re going to have to find ways to deal with that pressure that don’t end up bringing you down in the long run. Watch this video to hear three major reasons most people fail, so you can be successful.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Everyone knows it, because it’s the truth. On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Isaiah and I discuss why any time you spot a great deal, you should be skeptical. It might be a great deal, but don’t get emotional; there’s a reason they’re offering it to you and not insiders like me. On this episode, I’ll explain how you should evaluate an offer when you see a property at a lower than expected price.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about Festo #21: You are never as good as you think you are. You are never as bad as you think you are. And neither are they. I sit down with Isaiah Garman to hash out what I mean by that. In short, we all have flaws and we all have strengths. It’s a simple message, but one that has a lot of meaning. Watch this episode to hear our conversation as we explain what it means in detail.

Robert Herjavec. Even if you don’t know (or can’t pronounce) his name, you recognize him from Shark Tank. He’s made hundreds of millions of dollars from his various entrepreneurial ventures and investments. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I react to a clip of him talking about how he once always wanted just that much more - a faster car, then a jet, then a nicer jet - Until he finally realized why those material things won’t make him happy. I had a similar realization myself and I, like Robert, now use my money to fuel my purpose and fulfill my vision, rather than flaunt my wealth. There’s nothing wrong with having wealth, but if buying everything you can only makes you unhappy, you need to do the inner work to find what matters to you. Click here to watch this video.
