   You Can't Network From Home

   Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, Michael Del Prete, Executive Director of AZREIA, shares how one comedy show during COVID sparked a real estate partnership that led to 25 wholesale deals and 10 rental properties in a city he had never even visited. What started with a social media repost and a cold DM from a Cleveland wholesaler turned into a business built on complementary strengths, strategic partnerships, and consistent relationship building. Michael breaks down how he combined his marketing and lead generation skills with his partner's local market knowledge and buyer network to accelerate deal flow. He also shares how selling six rental properties helped him purchase AZREIA while keeping four rentals in a 50/50 joint venture generating approximately $2,000 per month in combined net income. Along the way, he explains why leveraging other people's strengths can help investors move faster than trying to do everything alone. The biggest lesson? Your network can become your deal flow. Michael shares five principles for building valuable relationships, giving before asking, finding the right partners, and turning conversations into opportunities. Whether you're new to real estate investing or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode will inspire you to show up, connect with other investors, and start having more meaningful "haves and wants" conversations at AZREIA events. 01:00 – Network Over Deals 02:09 – The Cleveland DM 04:26 – JV Wholesaling System 05:49 – From Wholesales to Rentals 06:46 – Leverage Into AZREIA 07:41 – Knowledge Time vs. Money 10:17 – Networking Room Lessons 12:21 – Five Principles Breakdown 20:32 – Action Steps and Wrap-Up -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.

   Fix and Flip Turnkey PadSplits ft. Brian & Gina Kingdeski

   Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, Michael Del Prete sits down with longtime real estate investors Brian and Gina Kingdeski to explore how they transformed their traditional fix-and-flip strategy into a turnkey PadSplit co-living model. Gina shares their journey from new home sales and Airbnb investing to finding a way to generate stronger cash flow while also addressing the growing demand for affordable housing. Brian and Gina break down their end-to-end process, from finding distressed wholesale properties and redesigning them for 8+ bedrooms to adding bathrooms, completing due diligence, rehabbing, furnishing, and launching properties on the PadSplit platform. They also explain how they connect pre-qualified DSCR buyers with turnkey properties before closing, creating a repeatable system designed to help investors scale. The couple also introduces their Green Light Buying Machine coaching program, which teaches experienced flippers how to build a repeatable turnkey PadSplit system and access a buyer network. They discuss deal timelines, financing, due diligence, CRM systems, reported profit potential, and what it takes to successfully transition from flipping individual properties to building a scalable business model. They'll also dive deeper into the strategy at an upcoming AZREIA presentation on November 9. 00:59 – Investor Backgrounds 03:11 – Work Life Balance 04:47 – Couples Business Advice 07:05 – What Is PadSplit 08:11 – Mission and Market Need 09:25 – Turnkey Build Process 11:16 – Member Experience Myths 14:24 – Scaling and Deal Flow 16:14 – Green Light Buying Machine 22:30 – Buyer Network and Timelines 23:56 – Financing With DSCR Loans 25:03 – Prequalify Every Buyer 25:50 – Due Diligence Week 26:32 – Who This Is For 27:23 – Program Expansion Plans 27:49 – Turnkey Flip Support 29:41 – Build Day Playbook 31:08 – Trigger System CRM 33:13 – Student Access Guarantee 34:25 – Flipper Requirements 36:18 – Profit Per Flip 37:30 – Student Success Story 39:03 – AZREIA Event Invite 40:11 – See Homes Differently 41:56 – Cashflow Goals Math -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.

   Why Your Phoenix Rental Isn't Renting And What to Do About It ft. Barbara and Derek Habbeshaw

   Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, AZREIA host Michael Del Prete sits down with Derek and Barbara Habbeshaw of AZ Residential to discuss the realities of today's Phoenix rental market. With rents declining, tenants becoming more selective, and corporate built-to-rent communities increasing competition, landlords need to rethink their pricing strategies and vacancy expectations. Derek and Barbara explain why properties can sit vacant for 30 to 60 days or longer and why keeping rental prices competitive is essential to attracting qualified tenants. The conversation covers practical strategies for reducing vacancy, retaining good tenants, maintaining properties, and responding quickly when rental listings fail to generate interest. Derek and Barbara also warn about rental scams involving stolen MLS photos and suspiciously low prices, explain how self-showings can expose properties to fraud and squatters, and share why weekly vacant-property inspections are critical. They also discuss tenant complaints, documentation, security deposit disputes, AI-driven move-out disagreements, and thorough screening practices to identify potential fraud before signing a lease. Whether you own one rental property or manage a growing portfolio, this episode delivers actionable advice to help protect your investment and navigate a more competitive rental market. From allowing pets and choosing durable LVP flooring to setting clear boundaries and prioritizing reliable long-term tenants, Derek and Barbara share practical lessons landlords can apply to improve their rental operations. 01:02 – About AZ Residential 02:44 – Personal Service Philosophy 05:03 – Phoenix Rental Market Check 06:44 – Built-to-Rent Competition 13:00 – Pricing and Vacancy Reality 18:00 – Why Listings Stall 18:55 – Rental Scam Warning 22:25 – Preventing Squatters 23:50 – City of Phoenix Complaint 26:40 – Security Deposit Dispute Resolution 28:36 – Phoenix Complaint Crackdowns 29:23 – Document Everything 30:47 – Rising Costs and Staying Proactive 31:45 – AI-Fueled Move-Out Disputes 33:43 – Screening Without Desperation 34:42 – Red Flags and Fraud Checks 35:09 – Protecting Yards and Landscaping 39:11 – Eviction Threats and Boundaries 42:17 – Rapid-Fire Rental Preferences 43:59 – ADUs and PadSplit Pitfalls 47:44 – Wrap-Up, Contacts and Outlook -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.
