[02:11] – One BIG and Unique Value Bomb: Visualization is powerful – use it to get things you want in life

[03:12] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: Rod started in Denver buying houses. In 2006, he had 800 houses and his net worth went up $17M in a year. He thought he was a “god.” In 2008, he lost all those properties and a lot more because of the crisis

[04:17] – Rod went down in 2008 because he focused on the value of his real estate properties instead of their ability to cash flow

• He thought, mistakenly, that he had built a lifetime cash flow with his portfolio
• Although Rod’s single-family properties crashed in 2008, his multifamily properties did just fine

[06:20] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: When Rod was 18, he got his broker’s license. He had a belief that a successful realtor should have a 4-door car until he saw a Corvette. He put a picture of the Corvette on the visor of his Ford Granada. By his second year, he had the Corvette. He saw a Ferrari 308, put the photo on the visor of his Corvette, a couple of years later he had a Maserati (that looks like the Ferrari)

[07:54] – Visualization works for Rod

[08:26] – Get pictures of your goals and put them in front of you

[09:23] – If you’re thinking about real estate, do multifamily properties

[10:22] – Maintenance, showing and marketing will cost less with multifamily properties

[10:52] – They’re also easier to manage, easier to scale and easier to buy

[11:22] – What is the one thing you are most FIRED up about today? “I started taking free calls from my podcast listeners and I’ve talked to almost a thousand of them!”
