Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies. And welcome to another episode of our.
Podcast, which is called Freedom through Passive Income.
That's right. It's right there.
Right on my shirt.
That's right. And welcome to our special week. This is Freedom Week.
Freedom. There you go.
And this is. And you're going to explain why this in a second. But anyway, this episode of Freedom Week is real estate investing skills and lessons learned.
Yeah. So As a reminder, July 1st, we hit halfway through the 365 day podcast series that we started this year. And so we are celebrating by doing Freedom Week. So starting on July 4th, we started Freedom Week and we did five episodes where we're looking back through the year to see the topics that are common themes that people can kind of dig into. So Ben is the one that has emailed us quite a few times saying, how do I binge on these episodes? And it's hard because every single week or two, we're coming up with new scripts, and they're usually very relevant about where we're at in our investing journey, what's going on in our business, things like that. So it's. If you want to learn about money, you gotta look through all the titles and find all the episodes about money. So the idea here is to be able to talk today about real estate investing skills and lessons learned. And during this podcast, we're gonna pick like five, 10 episodes, some of them had a few more, and we're gonna put those episodes and links into the podcast description or the YouTube description. And that way it's really easy for you to go back and dig and dive deep into things that you might want to learn more about. So that's the idea of it. And I'm super excited that we're over halfway through.
I know. And you talked about all the scripts. You know. Oh, my. I'm exhausted from writing so many scripts.
Oh, stop it. You're exhausted from trying to read my handwriting. That's what you.
Hit that nail in a hat.
And it's July. So it's birthday month.
That's right. Yep. Every day is a fun shirt. Well, especially on Friday. But now every day of the month of July, you're getting a fun shirt.
Yep. And for Freedom Week, he chose to wear hats every single day.
Yep. Well, I missed a couple days wearing a hat, but this is my Invest Smart, Live Happy hat.
That's right. Because we're wearing our swag.
That's right.
I love it. So for real estate investing skills and Lessons learned. Kind of just the brief overview before we get into the podcast episodes that we're going to direct you to is that it really depends on the type of investing you're going into. Right. So if you're wholesaling, it's a different set of skills than it is for a flipping versus passive syndication investing versus passive private money lending. Right. So first, are you active? Are you passive? And then depending on what you choose there, and it could be both what avenue did you take? And if you are in multiple avenues, you need multiple skills. Right. And there's always the lessons learned that increase your skillset. Right. So we're gonna go ahead and like talk about some of the episodes that we hit on these types of things. And Flip, do you have anything else you wanna add before you jump into them?
No.
Okay. The first three I just bundled for you.
Oh, that's right. Because there's parts one dose, two and three.
Yes, that's right.
Yep. So episodes number 32, 33 and then episode number 80.
Yes.
And then this is how to Create Generational wealth.
Yeah, Very, very powerful episodes. A topic that is requested a ton. So if you want to learn about generational wealth, dive into those three episodes. And that's why I grouped them together there.
Love it.
Episode 36, we talked about self directed Ira, how to use Retirement accounts to invest in real estate. And that's another series we're getting ready to do. So if you love investing with your retirement accounts, it is a very powerful way to build wealth. We're going to go through a series of podcasts with Ben Kat, who's just gone through an entire process of having to move his money around. So he's going to be teaching you some of what he's done. And Flip and I have recently been re strategizing our entire financial money game with regard to how to take advantage of certain tax advantage accounts. So you're going to be hearing a lot more about this in the future. So we'll probably do another kind of group episode that says here's all of your retirement account episodes, so grab some popcorn. That's right.
Episode number 38, Cap Rates and How to Calculate them.
Yeah, that's a good 1. Episode 43 Classes of Properties in Real Estate and which one is best?
Episode number 45, single family housing versus multifamily housing.
Yeah. Episode 52, cash on cash Returns and why People Use Them to Evaluate properties.

Episode number 96, Consistency Plus Boring Equals Wealth.
Yes. In episode 107, A. K1. Lesson learned.
And then episode number 134, How Do We Find deals? Yes.
When we talk about acquisitions and deals, those tend to be like they hit on. We obviously have a lot of active investors who listen to because they're like, how you doing all this stuff? And here I'm thinking we're only talking to passive investors because that's what I'm so super passionate about these days. But yeah. So that's a good set of videos for you guys to dig into and we hope you enjoy them.
