Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

Sharon Vornholt

About

Hi! I’m Sharon.

I started my investing journey in 1998 while I owned and operated another successful business. Real estate was originally my side hustle. I invested part-time for about 10 years doing rehabs and picking up a handful of rentals before finally becoming a full-time investor. In 2008 when the market crashed, I became an "accidental wholesaler". (That was never my plan.)

Today, I help real estate investors create unforgettable brands and marketing plans that work!

I also help people become an expert in one of the most lucrative niches on the planet, probate investing. I have been the leading probate investing expert for more than a decade, and I can make you an expert too.

Whether you are a full-time investor or real estate is your “side hustle” for the time being, I can help you take your business to the next level. If you’re ready to shave years off your learning curve you are definitely in the right place. These podcasts not only bring you information packed interviews, but also tools, tips and a whole lot of “how to” information to help you start or grow a successful real estate investing business.

Do Probate Properties Need Court Approval to Be Sold?

Today we’re going to talk about whether probate properties need court approval to be sold, and how to handle the current problem tenant residing in the property. This question was from a person new to probate who was both an agent and an investor. She was trying to help the seller who inherited the property but was stumped by how to proceed with this unusual and very sticky situation.   Here’s the situation in a nutshell: The seller inherited a property with a non-paying tenant who also happened to be a relative. To make things even worse, the tenant refused to let the new owner into the condominium for inspection or to show the property so it could be sold. The new owner was reluctant to evict the relative but found himself in a really uncomfortable position. He inherited a property he couldn’t even enter and was getting no rent on the property.    What would you do in this situation?     Listen in to hear more about what I had to say.     [00:00 - 02:33] - Opening & Question Overview __ __   [02:34 - 04:19] - Tenant Issues & Offer Considerations __ __   [04:20 - 05:56] - Probate Court Approval Process __ __   [05:57 - 07:27] - Financial Impacts & Offer Adjustments __ __   [07:26 - 10:07] - Closing Tips __ __   Resources Mentioned in this show: FREEBIE: Probate Investing Starter Kit    Probate Investing Simplified Course            Key Quote: "I would tell the seller that unless I could see the unit, I would have to assume that it's trashed” - Sharon Vornholt   WANT TO LEARN MORE?   Connect with me through my website, Instagram, and LinkedIn Or you can send me an email at sharon@sharonvornholt.com Be sure to check out the Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog and my course Probate Investing Simplified.

Grow Your Real Estate Investing Business Faster with Partners

It's a fact that you can grow your real estate investing business faster with partners when you find people who have skills you lack. Instead of trying to master everything, why not focus on what you do well and partner with someone who can fill the gaps?   That's exactly what today's guest, Ace Hagerty, did. Rather than try to do "all the things" and become a "jack of all trades," he found partners that could make his business grow faster than trying to do it alone.   Ace is a structural engineer and a Nashville-based real estate investor. He flipped his first house nine years ago. Since then, he's flipped over 200 houses and inspected thousands of residential and light commercial structures.

Why Real Estate Investors Must Master Presentations

Real estate investors are often asked to give a presentation and that can be for a number of reasons. You may be asked to speak in person at a REIA meeting or a local meetup, to a group of investors in an online meeting, or even as a guest on a podcast.    However, one of the most important times a real estate investor needs to know how to communicate effectively is when they are meeting with a private money lender. The person you are asking to put their trust in you by loaning you money isn’t likely to do that if you can’t clearly communicate the opportunity FOR THEM. They have to feel comfortable with you and your capabilities.   If you think about it, you are actually giving a type of presentation every time you talk to a motivated seller. Being able to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills real estate investors need.   My guest today is Brenden Kumarasamy, the founder of MasterTalk. Brenden is an expert on this topic, so be prepared to take some notes on these simple but effective tips to master your next talk. You can reach out to Brenden at the links below to learn more.   [00:01 - 07:25] Opening Segment __ __   [07:26 - 15:27] Mastering Presentations for Real Estate Investors __ __   [15:28 - 32:43] Tips for Taking Your Presentation to the Next Level __ __   [32:44 - 42:33] Closing Segment __ __     Quotes:   "My definition of communication is how do we convey an idea in a way that achieves a specific outcome for a specific audience." - Brenden Kumarasamy   "The goal is not to be great. The goal is to be the best speaker at the conference. So who do we need to be that person, and how much more money will we create?

He was there for 15 years and had a lot of stuff. She also goes on to say they inherited the tenant when they bought the house.
