When Henry married, he quickly realized that working 50 hours a week was still not giving him enough income to provide his family with the life they deserved. After a late-night panic attack and some Google searches, Henry found that real estate investing was a powerful tool for building generational wealth. He immediately took action by attending local investor meetups, listening to podcasts, and telling everyone that he was an investor. Henry closed on his first investment property only 90 days later. Now he's 6 years into his real estate investment journey, has over 100 cash-flowing properties, and flips about 20 houses a year. From the day his first deal closed, Henry has felt a deep responsibility to share this gift with as many people as he can. Henry can be found on Instagram, the BiggerPockets On The Market Podcast, and at various speaking engagements across the country.

Ever wonder why some real estate deals boom while others flop? How they're structured can be a big factor. Structure can determine your cash flow, debt maturity date, exit timeline, how much you are making, the risks you are taking, and more. 🏡 Think of it like building a house - you need a solid foundation to make it stand tall. So, if you want to do well in real estate as a passive or active investor, you've got to get the hang of how deal structure works. 🔥 📅 Date: Tuesday, June 11th 🕠 Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM CST 📍 Venue: Keller Williams Market Pro Realty, 3105 NE 11th St, Bentonville, AR 72712 and virtual 🌐 Online: RSVP on Zoom via RSVP link Note: We'll have speed networking at 5pm CST and presentation starts at 5:40pm CST Speakers this time will be our hosts of the event: Brian and Micy Micy Liu, a real estate investor since 2019, excels in data-driven due diligence in commercial real estate.

Great turn of events last night! We've learned about how the US economy is doing and how it will affect the commercial real estate market especially in Northwest Arkansas ✨ Thanks to Mervin Jebaraj for imparting his knowledge to us. 👏 We'd also like to thank everyone who have participated on the event whether in person or online 🙏 Here are 5 key takeaways from last night: 👉 US Economy Compared to Past: The US economy is recovering from the pandemic-induced downturn, with certain sectors rebounding strongly. However, challenges like transitioning to remote work impact office space demand and distress in commercial real estate, particularly in the office sector. 👉 US Economy Compared to Other Countries: The US economy is performing relatively well compared to other countries, with certain areas experiencing growth and stability. However, concerns about office space vacancies and potential distress in the commercial real estate market, particularly for regional and community banks heavily invested in office assets, persist. 👉 Predictions on Interest Rate: Interest rates are expected to rise, possibly reaching 7% for mortgages this year due to the Federal Reserve's inflation target and a projected 10-year treasury rate of 4.2%. This could influence homebuyers' decisions. 👉 Commercial Real Estate Assets in Northwest Arkansas: Warehouse spaces and car washes are performing well in Northwest Arkansas due to factors like e-commerce growth and subscription models. However, there are challenges in the office sector, with concerns about vacancies and potential distress affecting certain types of assets. 🔥 Special thanks to Waco Title - Commercial Division for making the event possible!
