   Dr. Marc Halpern and Ron Odom - Real Estate Investors

   “Stay laser-focused because obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.” - Ron Odom In this episode, my guests, Dr. Marc Halpern and Ron Odom discuss the significance of a good mindset and how personal performance can be improved. We highlight how even being held back does not exempt us from success. Dr. Marc Halpern is the leading expert in industrial phase-transfer catalysis and the founder of PTC Organics Inc. dedicated exclusively to developing low-cost high-performance green chemistry using PTC. As a part-time real estate investor and trainer, Dr. Halpern innovated guidelines optimizing the mix of the primary real estate investment strategies: buy-fix-sell, buy-rent-hold, lease-option, and wholesaling. Dr. Halpern demonstrated the success and applicability of these guidelines to part-time real estate investing, including effective leverage of self-directed 401k and Roth 401k funds for high yield returns. Dr. Halpern co-authored the book “We Buy Houses, Sometimes!” Since 1996, Ron Odom has invested in real estate. A diversified businessman, Ron has hands-on expertise and is a recognized authority in the areas of remodeling, buying, selling, leasing, and management of single-family homes. Ron’s latest project is financial literacy classes intertwined with creative methods for real estate acquisition and exit strategies for today’s youth. His goal is to educate young people ages 10 through 18 on one level; and ages 18 to 30 on another level.
