But fear not, this podcast is specifically designed to equip you with the mindset, strategies, and insights needed to excel in every area of your life. Together, we’re going to unlock the secrets of high performance and embark on a transformational journey towards living our best life. Let’s dive in!
Today, we have Josh Appleman as our guest. Josh is a real estate entrepreneur who primarily focuses on multi-family properties and self-storage. He believes in investing in real estate assets that produce passive cash flow and require low management overhead. Josh is the owner of Appleman Properties and works with Progressive Real Estate Firm. Josh shares his journey into real estate, starting with his previous company, United Installs, which grew to a $10.5 million per year business.
However, when a corporate conglomerate took over, Josh realized the importance of having control over his own business and decided to venture into real estate. He started by learning the language and nuances of real estate investing, eventually acquiring his first 33-unit apartment complex. Josh emphasizes the importance of mindset and continuous learning.
He recommends books like “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” “The Richest Man in Babylon,” and “Think and Grow Rich” for personal development and mindset shifts. He also stresses the power of writing down goals and targets to create clarity and focus. When it comes to networking and getting into the right rooms, Josh believes in using social media as a tool for connecting with like-minded individuals.
He advises against consuming social media and instead focuses on broadcasting content and engaging with others who share similar interests. Josh also discusses the concept of imposter syndrome and how he embraces being an imposter in certain situations to learn and absorb information.
He believes in surrounding himself with people who have different skill sets and perspectives, as this can lead to better decision-making and growth. Moving into multi-family real estate, Josh highlights the importance of economies of scale. By consolidating expenses under fewer roofs, investors can achieve higher net margins and increase their cash flow.
He also emphasizes the need to buy right and underwrite properties based on future projections, rather than short-term gains. Josh recently completed a 40-unit syndication in Dayton, Ohio, and is actively looking for his next deal.
He encourages interested investors to reach out to him through his website, applemangroup. com, or connect with him on LinkedIn. In closing, Josh’s message to the world is to not take anything personally. By mastering this mindset, individuals can navigate through life without being affected by others’ opinions or actions. And that concludes our interview with Josh Appleman.
We hope you found his insights and experiences valuable. Remember, with the right mindset, strategies, and continuous learning, you too can excel in every area of your life. Keep striving for high performance and living your best life.
