Evolution of the Real Estate Investor | PREI099

As a twenty-year veteran in the finance industry, Aaron has developed this concept of the evolution of the real estate investor. You can imagine it as an hierarchical structure or similar to what you might find in an organizational chart with a company. Aaron explains that it is an evolution where you start out working with real estate investors who spend money by investing in real estate, who then evolve to a position as a business owner in possession of several properties, to being a chief operations officer and having within their organization people that are going to work with new investors to market the properties and find more. He shares that understanding each level of this evolutionary structure will help make the team become more efficient in doing their particular tasks and also enable them to work in harmony with the other levels. — I wanted to do something a little different. I’m bringing on a good friend and one of our preferred mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers and mortgage lenders, Aaron Chapman. Aaron was on years ago, and we talked about non-owner occupied real estate investing and getting loans in the mortgage environment. If you haven’t seen it, go back and read that episode because there’s a lot of foundational information about mortgage lending there. He has this very interesting concept that he refers to as the evolution of the real estate investor. He explained this a couple of times and I found it very interesting because it’s representing a hierarchical structure of what you might find in an org chart with a company, you, being the CEO of that company. Aaron is a 20-year veteran in the finance industry and he focuses specifically and only on real estate investors. He does investment loans and he has a great team of a total of ten staff members that help him do these loans. He’s been married for 22 years and has four kids. He’s a very active guy and a lot of fun and he does a lot of stuff outside the investment and loan industry. He helps out with his local sheriff’s department in the
