Darin Garman’s Heartland Multi-Family Show

Why Rate of Return is Secondary to Place

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m going to talk about why rate of return is not the most important factor in what properties you should invest in. Rate of return is important, but what’s more important is place. You need to have your property in a place that is insulated and protected from the unpredictable nature of the world. Social unrest, economic instability, and unpredictable outcomes make it so that you could very easily lose your money, through no fault of your own. The solution is to park your money in a place where it’s safe first, and then worry about rate of return second. Watch this episode to find out how you can protect your multifamily investment property.

Banks are Collapsing! What YOU can do to Protect Your Investments

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Podcast, I’m taking a short break from talking about multifamily investment and putting on my banker’s cap to explain what’s happening right now with banks in a way that matters to you. Banks hold money, but they don’t literally have all the money in every account in one big vault. This is called a “liquidity problem” because if everyone tried to get all their money at once, the bank would collapse. But it’s not just bad banks that have this problem, every bank has this. When a bank is on the brink of collapse, what tips it over is often the news (or rumors) that its customers can’t get their money back. Although banks may all seem the same at first, who sits on the board of directors and what their values are makes a huge difference in how banks are run. You need to do your due diligence where you put your money. And finally, smart investors are changing their objectives from making the most money to being most secure with their money and insulating themselves from risk. Watch this episode to learn what you can do to protect your money if your bank declares bankruptcy.

The three things you must know to get rich with multifamily property investing

Do you want to get rich? Do you want to build wealth with multifamily property investing? This is the episode for you. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I will give you the three ways you can get rich in multifamily. These are not suggestions on specific properties you should buy, or a particular area that is coming up in value, these are three attitudes you need to have, three truths that you must accept, if you want to get rich. They are: Give yourself permission to build wealth. That wealth comes from equity, not income. And you must work very hard to make “passive” income.

What every investor must do (that has nothing to do with investing)

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I am excited to let you in on a secret that every investor should know. It’s the secret to making more money. It’s the secret to having a better life. What is it? It’s the power of proximity. The people you spend the most time with are the people you are most like. And this includes people you spend time with on the other side of a screen. The people you follow on social media, the people (real and fictional) you watch on TV, the people you listen to on podcasts…they are all influencing you. And not in a marketing “social media influencer” kind of way, I mean the old fashioned “they have an impact on how you behave” influence. And here’s the real secret: You can choose who you spend time with. If you want to start 2023 off right, take an inventory of the people you are looking at and listening to, and ask yourself if they are adding to your life. If not, you may want to make some new friends.

Why Interest Rates Don’t Matter

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is all about interest rates. This is one of the most common questions I get. “Should I buy now?” “Should I wait until interest rates change?” “How high will interest rates go?” As a long term investor, I can tell you: They don’t matter! That's right, interest rates don’t mater. In this episode, I will explain why you should stay calm when everyone around you is getting emotional and reactive. This episode will give you three reasons why you don’t have to worry about interest rates if you want to become an investor in multifamily.

How to Make More Money When Selling a Property with High Interest Rates

What can you do when interest rates are high? This is a question that I get asked very often and I will address it on this episode of the show. As a general rule, you should never sell in a high interest rate environment. This is because the loan payments to banks will be higher, and buyers aren't willing to pay more than they have to. So you, as the seller, have to take that extra money into consideration. Simply put, the buyer is going to pay the same amount, but the bank is getting more and you are getting less. But, life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you have to sell, even though the time isn’t good. Watch this episode to see how you can make the most of a high interest rate as a seller.

How to get more money when you sell your multifamily property

Do you want to make more money when you sell your multifamily property? Of course you do! But the market is particularly perilous at the moment. Interest rates are starting to get very high, and that can mean that your selling price has to come down when your potential buyers crunch the numbers and decide what they can afford. But if you’re smart, you don’t have to follow the crowd: You can get a higher price from your property and continue to make income from the properties you sell if you’re willing to adapt to changing market conditions.
