 Have you ever considered real estate investing?

In this episode of Selling Central Florida, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our friend

Reed Goossens to talk about all things real estate investing. Reed first got into this business

when he read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and realized there had to be more to life than trading your

time for dollars. We are so excited for him to be here sharing his experience with us today.

If you’re interested in something that you can own that can bring in some cash flow for you, this

is the episode for you. Reed gets into the nitty gritty of what syndication is and everything else

you need to know about real estate investing before you take the plunge.

There is a lot to know before you get involved in investing in syndication. It takes a few years

before you can see a return, but it might be the least risky investment you can make. You can’t

get discouraged when you don’t see the results right away. It takes time and patience, but Reed

has a clear strategy to make it worth it.

Reed has had amazing success with this investment option, and he’s sharing all of his tips on

how to make good investments and add value to the community you are investing in.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

● How Rich Dad Poor Dad impacted Reed’s life

● What syndication is

● How much you need to get involved in a syndication

● The importance of PPMs when investing

● How you can expect to get a return on this type of investment

● How Reed adds value in order to find success

● How he handles pricing for his properties

● The fear of unfulfilled potential

● How Reed stays on track with his daily goals

● The importance of betting on yourself

We hope you enjoyed this episode with Reed and learned a lot about real estate investing! This

is such a low-risk way to invest in real estate and we think it’s a great option for anyone that has

been considering this path. To learn more about Reed, visit his website, and sign up for his

How much do you know about property inspections?

In this episode of Selling Central Florida, we sat down with our good friend Kendall, a home inspector, to talk about everything you need to know about property inspections! She has an amazing history and a ton of experience in all aspects of real estate.

With this episode, we hope to answer all of your pre-inspection questions so that you can go into your home purchase well informed about what is and isn't’ important when it comes to your inspection. 

As Kendall has been told by the people she works with, a good home inspection is worth its weight in gold. In this episode we are going through types of inspections, what you need to know, what to share with your insurance company, and so much more.

Are you wondering how you can have the cash ready for your down payment?

In this episode of Selling Central Florida, we’re sharing part 2 of our conversation with Greg

Tucker where we talked about down payments, the Landis Program, and how it helps people

buy their dream homes.

There are many amazing programs out there that can help you get the home you want by

assisting with the down payment depending on your circumstances and unique needs. Not

every program is right for every person, but it’s important to know your options.

In this episode, Greg goes through different programs that you could use to get the perfect

home for you under contract. He also shares what the Landis program is and how to know if you

qualify for this amazing program for home buyers.

If you’re tired of renting, Landis may be just the program for you. It purchases the home for you

and allows you to get a higher-paying job so you can purchase it back from Landis. It truly is a

unique and amazing opportunity for many home buyers.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

● Different types of loans and down payments

● Programs available for lower down payments

● The down payment you should aim for

● What Landis is

● Qualifications to utilize this program

● The process of pre-approval

There are so many programs available to you, don’t let the down payment hold you back from

pursuing your dream home! If you are interested in any of these programs or how Greg can help

you, make sure to contact him here!

What’s going on with mortgage rates?

In this episode of Selling Central Florida, we are chatting with Greg Tucker to talk about how

you can get that home under contract and the different ways we can help today that we may not

have been an option even six months ago.

The market is a little bit slower than we have been seeing but some houses still have multiple

offers on them and interest rates have gone up. Some people believe that buying power has

diminished but it is slowly turning into a buyer’s market so that means there’s less competition!

Greg shares his opinions on what is going on in the market right now and why you should marry

the home and date the rate. If you find the home you love, and you can afford the payment,

don’t worry about the interest rate! It’s more about the payment and how comfortable you are

with it.

Waiting is not the best course of action right now. You could end up paying the same amount on

a house that’s half the value of the one you want now if you wait a few years. Waiting it out is

just not going to help anyone. Don’t let the market dictate when you buy your home. You have to

buy it when it’s right for you.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

● What’s going on in the market

● How you can always refinance for a better rate

● Why waiting is not the best option for you

● The impact of inflation on rates

● Why the market shouldn’t dictate your decision

● What a 2-1 buydown is

● Disadvantages to the 2-1 buydown

When you don’t buy your home because of the rate, you’re really holding yourself back. There

are many ways you can get a lower rate after you purchase your dream home. To learn more

from Greg, make sure to contact him here!

“The right time to buy is when it’s right for you.”

In this episode of Selling Central Florida, we are going to be sharing everything we love about

the up and coming: Watersong Phase II. This construction project aims to build luxury homes at a very

affordable price and we know you’re going to love it.

Watersong is in the heart of resort communities just a short 15-minute drive from Disney World.

Whether you want to live in it yourself, rent it out long-term, or use it as a short-term vacation

rental, Watersong is perfect.

One of the best things about Watersong, aside from the baseline luxury of these homes, is that

they offer unique floor plans that are hard to find in other communities and they offer pools in

each one. They offer up to 12 or 15 room options for such a great price.

We’re especially excited about this episode because this is such an incredible opportunity both

for investors and other real estate agents. We are actually paying a 5% commission to buyer's

agents!

So if you are an agent and you think that this may be something that your clients are interested

in, make sure to contact us and let us know because it could be a great opportunity for both you

and your client.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

● What Watersong is

● Where this community is located

● What you can do with this property

● Phase 1 and phase 2

● The unique floor plans available

● The pricing structure

● The features of this neighborhood

● What you need to do to get started

Watersong is one of those communities where it’s an amazing early investment so if you’re

going to get in on it, you want to do it now. You’ll be price locked at the entry-level prices, so you

can save an amazing amount of money by taking advantage of it.

Quotes

“What’s amazing about Watersong is that you don’t have restrictions on only using it as a

vacation rental. You can do long-term rental there, and you can also live in this property

yourself.”

“Your standard home in Watersong is more luxurious than your standard new construction

home.”

Are you considering purchasing a short-term rental or vacation home from overseas?

If you’ve been tuning into the show, you know that we are in a season of short-term rentals and

investment properties. We love them and think that they are a great opportunity for anyone

looking to build wealth in the central Florida area.

In this episode, we sat down with our good friend and fellow realtor Alexis McKenzie. Alexis

works with a lot of overseas clients who are interested in purchasing vacation homes in central

Florida.

The great thing about purchasing a vacation home in central Florida is that you can rent it out

when it’s not in use, which means oftentimes it can pay for itself. It really is a great investment,

no matter what part of the world you are coming from.

It can be scary to purchase a house overseas. Naturally, many realtors find it difficult to gain the

trust of these clients because they don’t want to be taken advantage of. Alexis truly cares about

her international clients and goes out of her way to make sure they are truly taken care of.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

● How Alexis works with international clients

● Relationship building with potential clients

● The differences Alexis sees with her overseas clients

● Why vacation homes pay for themselves

● Exchange rates

● How foreign national investment properties differ from others

● How Alexis helps her international customers get their properties

● Alexis’s experience being in London around the queen’s passing

We hope you found this episode helpful! We decided to bring Alexis onto the show because she

is a realtor that really cares and she creates meaningful friendships with her overseas clients

and they become family to her.

If you are interested in learning more about Alexis or working with her, make sure to check out

her website here and follow her on Facebook. She would love to hear from you and help you

with your next vacation home purchase!
