Mike Hicks started his entrepreneurial journey at just 19 years old after dropping out of college... He got a job with a real estate developer helping to clear lots and doing an array of labor-intensive construction tasks. Mike worked long hard days for this developer but after work, Mike and the rest of the crew would be invited out to go fishing. And it was during these moments that he started asking questions… - How do you determine a good deal?  - What should you look for when purchasing a lot? - What kind of structures make the most rental income? In Episode 197 of Behind the Stays, Mike and I discuss: - How he bought his first house as a 19 year old -Why he moved into short-term rentals after nearly two decades of buying, renovating, and renting traditional long-term rentals -Why he pivoted away from traditional vacation rentals and went all in on unique stays when founding Wander Chatt -How he “interviews the land” before buying a lot -His thoughts on the biggest opportunities for hospitality entrepreneurs today -And so much more Stream below or wherever you get your podcasts...

The Margins You Are Missing… I had the opportunity to listen to Daniel Hill’s episode 146 from The Blueprint Podcast on margins we could be missing. Really insightful, here’s my take:- The Motivation Margin For example if a property at auction doesn’t sell or a SSTC. The deal falls through and it comes back on discounted. They had a deal, they already started mentally spending the money, the seller is motivated. The Confidence Margin Buying cash instead of using a mortgage or bridging puts you in a strong position, there is a confidence margin, a bigger certainty, for the seller over someone dealing with the banks. The Risk Margin Caveat this with you need to know what you are doing and go into the project eyes wide open. Buying unconditionally. You take the risk on whether planning is approved or not and in return you expect a further discount. As mentioned, you need to know what you are doing and you need to mitigate risk as much as possible. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C…. The Expertise Margin How well do you know your scheme? If it’s HMO’s, do you know the councils local plan and their standards for HMO's in the area? How do you optimise space accordingly? Do you have the right experts in your “power team”? Can you see something others have missed? The Security Margin Fixed price-plus contracts. Hedging your bets in the beginning instead of looking to pay top dollar or squeezing the builder on every penny. It’s the middle ground between too much and too little where sometimes the builder gains extra margin and sometimes they loose margin but you have that security from the outset of what the build cost will be, within reason. The PM Margin An in-house project manager to run all the sites and save on the circa 10% or more addition to the renovation cost with outsourcing a project manager. Obviously this is about economies of scale with large projects or multiple sites to justify a full time PM. The Holding Margin If your exit is not secured, have you de-risked your holding period? What if out of a block of buy to sell apartments, the last one or two take a lot longer to sell? How is this going to impact margin, especially if you are on a bridge? The De-risk Margin Following on from the holding margin, can you rent out the apartments as soon as the build /refurbishment is complete so it cash flows sooner and then sell it tenanted to another investor? Build to rent to sell. The Premium Price/ Yield Margin Find a niche. Less competition, premium prices. The Commercial Margin Buy on the void industrial/commercial price per square metre, refurbish it, rent it out and rather than sell on the comparative residential value, sell it on the commercial value with the net yield multiplier. Granted this only applies to those projects that can get a commercial valuation. https://lnkd.in/eA7c_2_T What are your suggestions for other ways to add margin?

400,000 Downloads! Thank you to everyone that has tuned in to the Home Building Hero to hit this amazing #milestone. I started the podcast not knowing what I was doing. I was one of the only voices on home building at the beginning. Now there are many. Yet we've been listed as a top 10 construction podcast. There are still many things podcasters do that I don't. I've done it my way, right or wrong. It works for me, and it's authentically me. The journey from 300k to 400k seemed to take forever but last year I decided to reduce the outflow of new content by about 40%. Before that I was working too much and it began to feel like a grind. By reducing episodes I focused more on unique content. I spent more time diving deeper into research. That lead to some quality and thought provoking content on the home building and construction industry. Last year I did less interviews. That will change in 2024. I will have more interviews and some big ones. After all, we can all learn so much from each other. In fact, today, I will be interviewing a CEO of a 12B dollar company in the #constructionindustry who has built an amazing culture and has some profound thoughts on growth. This will open new doors to other big fish in the industry who want to share their thoughts on housing with the world. As I work towards the next milestone, I need your help! I've never had an email list for the show but I have started one so I can share additional content with you. So please join the list this week and I'll be randomly selecting people who join a Home Building Hero baseball cap. 📝https://lnkd.in/gSfWReMx I am #thankful for everyone who has jumped on the show and shared their thoughts. I am also extremely grateful for our studio sponsor LP Building Solutions who has been a strong supporter over the years. Most of all, I appreciate the emails from people who have tuned in. Especially people building homes in different markets that have dropped a note saying my podcast helped them have a great build. That was what I set out to do and it's become so much more. This podcast has given me tons of opportunities to speak, consult, and be a thought leader in the building industry. It has pushed me to always be in learning mode and seek out information that has made me a better entrepreneur and builder. It's not always been easy but the journey has been fantastic. Thank you all I am truly grateful. ♥️ p.s. this deserves a superhero pose!

😳 You NEED to know this before investing in RV or mobile home rentals... Although you can list them on Airbnb and other platforms similar to residential real estate, it's important to note these vehicles depreciate WAYY faster. Budget for a turnover within 3 years or less, or it may not work out well. RV and mobile home rentals should be seen more as a side hustle than real estate investing, since they don't offer the same appreciation, financing opportunities, tax benefits and so on.. What are your thoughts? Would you ever consider investing in them? 🤔 Interested in learning more?

What is the simplest way to sell your home for more money that many people overlook? Focusing on a great first impression. Getting the highest dollar for your home happens when potential buyers walk into your home and think to themselves "Wow, I could live here." If they instead start thinking, "well, it's going to need new paint and maybe new carpet"; then they are also thinking that they'll need to offer less money. While people talk a lot about curb appeal, I think people underestimate the amount of time that potential buyers spend right outside of your front door. If the entryway to the house isn't spotless and inviting, the rest of the showing is going to be spent looking for other problems. **This is an excerpt from a Podcast that I did with Matthew Regenie. Listen to the whole episode for a great conversation about entrepreneurship, small business branding, real estate and even homebrewing. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gW57jehD
