With enough effort and the right amount of education you can transition from an unfulfilling job into real estate, but don’t expect it to be easy! Our guest for today is Todd Dexheimer and he joins us to talk about his amazing success in the business after quitting his high school teaching job a few years earlier. Todd didn't love teaching and it was at this point that he started looking around for something that fit him a little better. He sniffed out entrepreneurship and real estate investing by reading a few books and the next thing he was obsessed. A few years and some very thorough preparations later, Todd had finally bought his first property! In our conversation with Todd today we talk about how to get into real estate, what it was like starting out in 2008, and some best practices for raising capital and keeping investor relations secure. We hear about Todd’s dedication and smart use of partnerships taking him from fix and flips to multifamily despite the 2008 recession and ample naysayers. Todd then weighs in on the value of very clear communication and other key steps for ensuring you have the right lenders and that everybody is on the same page.
