How to Create Lifetime Cashflow Through Multifamily Properties With Rod Khleif

Rod Khleif is a multiple business owner and philanthropist who is passionate about business, high-performance real estate and giving back. If you don’t know Rod, he has built over 24 businesses in his career. He has soared from humble beginnings as a young, impoverished Dutch immigrant to incredible success here in the US. One of the cool things about him is he has also founded the Tiny Hands Foundation, which has benefited more than 95,000 children in need. Rod, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me. This will be fun. I’m hoping we can add a ton of value.

There are three questions I ask every person who comes on the show, and I’m going to give you the floor to run with this a little bit longer. Most of the time I say, “Make it very short and answer these three questions,” but I think we’re going to spend the bulk of this show on these three questions, which is, where did you start, where are you now and how did you get there?

Your audience will appreciate me going back a little bit. I immigrated to this country when I was six years old with my brother, Albert and my mother, Svantia. I was born in Holland. We struggled. We ended up in Denver, Colorado. We didn’t have much. In fact, I remember eating expired food because it was cheaper than the regular food, drinking powdered milk without cereal in the morning, which by the way sucks, and wearing clothes from the Goodwill and The Salvation Army all the way through junior high school until I lied about my age at Burger King and got a job when I was fourteen, so I could buy my own clothes and own car. I’m sure there are people on your show that had it harder than we did or maybe even have it harder now, but I knew I wanted more.

Luckily, my mom had an incredible work ethic. She babysat kids so we’d have enough money to eat. With her babysitting money, she was a bit of an entrepreneur and invested in the stock market. She did IPO and she made money there, but she also invested in real estate. The first house that she bought was right across the street from us. She bought it when I was fourteen for about $30,000. When I was seventeen, she told me she’d made $20,000 in her sleep. I’m like, “You made $20,000 and you didn’t do anything? Screw college. I’m getting into real estate.”

I got my real estate broker’s license right when I turned eighteen, which you could do back then with education. They got smart. Now, you need some experience before you can be an actual broker and have your own office. In my 21st year in real estate, I made about $8,000. In my 2nd year, maybe $10,000, but in my 3rd year, I made over $100,000, which back in 1980 for a 21-year-old wasn’t bad.

80% to 90% of your success in anything is in your mindset and your psychology. Only 10% to 20% is the mechanical information.

What happened between years 2 and 3 that caused me to 10X my income? What happened was I met a guy, I was actually dating his daughter, and he taught me about the importance of mindset and psychology towards your success. How truly 80% to 90% of your success in anything is that your mindset and your psychology. Only 10% to 20% is the mechanical information. The vehicle, as it were.

If it was knowledge, there’d be a bunch of wealthy librarians and college professors out there. It’s the do and the keep doing. Fast forward to now, I’ve owned over 2,000 houses that I’ve rented long-term and thousands of apartment units. In 2006, my net worth went up to $17 million while I slept. You’re thinking, “Wow,” and so did I. I thought I was a freaking real estate God. In fact, I could barely fit my head through the door. I thought I was so cool.

When that happens, maybe God of the universe will give you a nice little smack. I lost everything in 2008. I lost $50 million. One of the things that I’m known for on my show and in my training is the mindset it took that $50 million to lose in the first place, and then maybe more important, or at least as important, the mindset it took to recover from that. There are people that jumped out of buildings back in The Great Depression for losing less than that comparatively, and even the 2008 and 2009 crisis, people took their lives over that stuff.

The reason they do that is they attach their identity to the vehicle, which is very dangerous. You should never associate with whatever vehicle you’re using and make it your identity. It’s just a vehicle, and that’s it. If it doesn’t work, you may have failed with that, but you’re not a failure. I call them seminars anyway, and that’s been 27 businesses. I need to update that bio.

It’s 27 businesses that I’ve started, and several have been worth tens of millions of dollars. Most have been spectacular flaming seminars. It’s only a failure. If you don’t get back up, you don’t get the lesson. I’m known for talking about mindset. I’d love to drill down on that with you a little bit on how I was able to recover from losing $50 million and the strategies that I implemented.

I think that would be fabulous, but before we get into that, let’s talk about how you got to those strategies and what that window was between, “We lost $50 million. I lost everything,” and then how long did it take you to pull up and go, “There’s a way out of this?”

Lifetime Cashflow: You should never associate with whatever vehicle you’re using and make it your identity. It’s just a vehicle, and that’s it. If it doesn’t work, you may have failed with that, but you’re not a failure.

 

The answer involves some of the strategies. The first strategy is the peer group. Luckily, I was around an incredible peer group. I was in Tony Robbins’ platinum partnership at the time, which used to cost about $150,000. Now, I think it’s about $500,000. I was around people that were thriving through that period. They’re like, “Quit whining and dust yourself off. You lost some money. Get up and go make it happen.”

Those of you who are reading, you want to be around people that are going to not be threatened by your desire for success or from your success. Threatened, jealous, or fearful of it, and very often, people are. What’s sad is most people default to the peers of people they went to school with or work with, and that’s a mistake. You want to proactively reach out to people that will empower you and validate you. Ideally, people that think what you think is hard as easy. A rising tide lifts all ships. If you want to become better at tennis, do you want to play somebody better than you or worse than you? You know the answer.

Luckily, I was in that peer group, which was a huge boost for me. I licked my wounds for a few months, but then I immediately bounced back. I’ve built 27 businesses. We fail our way to success. I got to meet the billionaire owner of Spanx, the woman’s undergarments. Her name’s Sara Blakely. She’s a beautiful human being. I think she sold it for a billion dollars, but she started with $5,000. I met her at a mastermind. By the way, learners are earners. I go to masterminds and boot camps several times a year because it’s so important.

I’ve got my own boot camp. We talked about that. I’ll mention that in a little bit. I remember her telling me that her dad used to ask her and her brother about this on a weekly basis, “What have you failed at this week?” He was pissed if they hadn’t failed in anything. I thought, “What an awesome question to ask your kids to not fear failure.” Fear being in the same place you are a year from now unless you love where you are. Fear regret much more than failure. That was a big component of how I was able to turn it around. I can expand on some of the other components if you like.

Those are action items. What people are looking for is action items on how to achieve and change that mindset.

Let’s get into it then. For example, if you come to my boot camp, the first thing we do right after we start is a goal-setting workshop on steroids. I’m going to describe it to you. I’ve got a boot camp on December 3, 4 and 5, 2021 in Orlando. It is three full days of training. It’s not a big sales pitch. I talk about my coaching for about 30 minutes. It’s drinking through a fire hose. If you’re interested in multifamily at all, you’re crazy not to come.

We fail our way to success.

I’ll give your audience a phenomenal deal. The price by the time this airs will be $600. They can come for 1/3 of that, which is $197, and I’ll give them a code. You can get my Courage and Confidence course on building your courage and confidence. It’s about 8 or 10 modules and my Finding Deals course because in this hot market, the hardest thing to do is to find the deals. It’s also kick-butt. You get both of those and you’ll get my book.

I’ve got a best-selling book. It’s called How to Create Lifetime Cashflow Through Multifamily Properties. It’s an Amazon bestseller in several categories. You’ll get a PDF and the audio version of this. You can get this free as well. You just pay for the shipping, but you’ll get all that for $197 bucks. If you text MULTIFAMILY to 72345, it’ll take you to the website. Go to the bottom of that thing and see the hundreds of unsolicited testimonials. I’ve never had a complaint on thousands of people who have attended.

The only complaint I’ve ever had is the food sucks or the room’s too cold. It’s never about the content. Remember the code, ROD FRIEND. That’s very important. That’s how you get that deal. We cover every aspect of the multifamily business. It is building a team, picking an area, finding deals, evaluating the deals, due diligence, financing the deal and syndication. I have a syndication attorney and a finance broker coming, but it’s mostly me for three days. It’s not a bunch of people selling you stuff. It’s just me and every aspect of the business.

Because I’m known for mindset, I spend a lot of time on mindset too, let’s talk about that. One of the first things we do is goal setting. Let me describe the process. If you can’t come to the boot camp, you’ll get a lot of value from this. You can take some notes. What you want to do, if you’re going to do this on your own, is pick an hour when you have a lot of energy. Don’t do it after a meal. Make sure you’re well-hydrated, drink some water, sit and write down everything you could ever possibly want in life. All the stuff. The houses, cars, boats, jet skis or planes.

The simple act of writing them down triggers something in your brain called your reticular activating system. It is the subconscious filter. You’re not conscious of it. It’s the subconscious filter in your brain that turns your head in the direction it thinks you need to go. The greatest example is when you first buy a car. You never really notice them. You buy the car, then you see them everywhere. That’s your reticular activating system and that’s why writing your goals is important. If you’re one of those analytical people that keep everything in your head, that’s a big mistake.

If you’re in your head, you’re dead, so write down all that stuff. This is everything you could ever possibly want in life. Not just the New Year’s resolutions that are forgotten by February. Everything. The big things, little things, write down also, all the things you want to do in this lifetime. You want to write a book. You want to climb every mountain over 14,000 feet. You want to visit every country in the Southern hemisphere. Whatever it is, write that down. Also, write down what you want to learn in this lifetime. Maybe you want to learn a foreign language.

SCRE 356 Rod Khleif | Lifetime Cashflow

Lifetime Cashflow: It’s the ‘why’ that’s going to drive you, get you to get up early, stay up late, and grind for a few years like most people won’t so you can live the rest of your life like most people can’t.

 

If you want to learn multifamily real estate, come see me. You’ll be super glad you did. Write down everything you want to learn. Take the lid off your brain. If you want a private island, a jet, a yacht, write it down because that starts the process. People don’t realize that there’s nothing you truly can’t do, be, or have in this world. If you have to make a decision and go for it, that’s it. Don’t limit yourself. Lastly, write down who you want to help. We’ll do more for others than we’ll ever do for ourselves. This is the fuel. It’s never about the goals, but you got to have them to push and pull you.

I’ll give you an example of why it’s not about the goals, but you need them and you got to have them. You need them to create what Napoleon Hill, in his book Think and Grow Rich, calls a burning desire. You’ve got to have that burning desire to push through fear and any limiting beliefs that you might have. A lot of people have limiting beliefs. When I immigrated to this country, I didn’t speak English. I got thrown into school. I found out what bullies were for the first time. I got my butt kicked because I hadn’t learned how to fight. I didn’t have much of a father figure yet.

Then my mom, a proud Dutch woman that she is, thought it’d be a great idea to send me to school in wooden shoes and those leather shorts the Germans wear for Octoberfest in those lederhosen and got my butt kicked again. The bullies would chase me home and she chased them off with a flyswatter. The next day, I got my butt kicked again. The reason I bring that up is that it caused me to create this feeling that I wasn’t good enough. A lot of people have these limiting beliefs like that. Remember this.

If you’ve got that, “I’m too old. I’m too young. I’m not smart enough. I’m not analytical enough,” whatever it is, recognize there’s a reason that the acronym for belief systems is BS, because 99.9% of them are, but this is the fuel that gets you to push through that BS, or maybe you’re comfortable as well. A comfort zone is a warm place, but nothing grows there. You got to have that burning desire to push through. You’ve written your goals, who you want to help, what you want to learn and what you want to do everything.

If you’re analytical, please don’t stop and analyze your answers as you’re writing these goals down. Keep writing. You can always scratch them out later. Once you’re done, there are a couple more steps. You need to put a time limit on each goal. Put how many years you think it’s going to take you to achieve it, and don’t overthink this either. Put a 1, 3, 4, even a 10 or 20, recognizing that as human beings, we will overestimate what we can do in a year and massively underestimate what we can do in 5, 10 or 20 years.

I’ll give you an example of this. When I lived in Denver, I knew I wanted to live on the beach one day. There’s no beach in Denver. I would visualize the palm trees, surf, sand and sunshine. Twenty years later, I built this $8 million, 10,000 square foot mansion on the beach. At the beach on one side, it was called a gulf to the bay and on the backside, I had my boat lifts, so it was like a slice through an island. I’m going to give you some other examples that are from my own life. Please know I’m not bragging. I’m only hoping to inspire you.

People don’t realize that there’s nothing you truly can’t do, be, or have in this world. If you have to make a decision and go for it, that’s it. Don’t limit yourself.

That was unthinkable when I was eighteen. The point I’m making with that is don’t limit yourself. Once you got a time limit on each goal, pick your number one goal. That goal when you get it, you’re like, “Oh my God.” You know you’ve arrived when you achieve that goal. Pick that and put it on another piece of paper. If you’ve got a couple that is equally exciting, pick one. It won’t matter what we’re going to do next. Then, pick your top three one-year goals and put them on a separate sheet of paper. Leave some room in between them.

If you do it on my boot camp, we give you a guide for all this, but you can do it on a piece of paper. At this point, you are ahead of 99.9% of the people on the planet that do a New Year’s resolution that never goes anywhere, but there are one and a half more steps. I need you to write why each one of those goals is an absolute freaking must to achieve. Write a description of why it has to happen because it’s the why that’s going to drive you, get you to get up early, stay up late and grind for a few years like most people won’t, so you can live the rest of your life like most people can’t.

Be descriptive in your why and use emotionally charged words like amazing, beautiful and incredible when you’re writing your why like, “I can show my kids what incredible abundance looks like. I can show my wife how to live an amazing life of freedom and we can have the unlimited freedom to do whatever, whenever, wherever and bring whoever we want.” Whatever is going to juice you, put that in your whys. Put one under each goal of why it has to happen. Take it one little step further once you’re done.

Put some pain in there if you don’t achieve the goal and make it freaking hurt, “If I don’t achieve the goal, so I don’t feel like a failure. I don’t fail my kids. I don’t fail my husband or wife. I don’t live a life of regret.” I’ll give you a great example of this. There was this hospice nurse in Australia. She took care of patients when they were about to die.

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.

That’s right. Bronnie Ware is her name. She asked them, “Do you have any regrets?” Then she wrote this book. The number one regret was, “Not living the life I could have lived. Living someone else’s life and not doing what I know I’m capable of.” I can’t think of anything worse than that.

SCRE 356 Rod Khleif | Lifetime Cashflow

Lifetime Cashflow: You should never achieve a big goal without having other goals lined up behind it.

 

That’s going to rip your heart out if you go all the way. You’re like, “Never let me say those five regrets.” I highly recommend that book.

We don’t want that. Once you’ve got your reasons why, positive and negative, that you have to achieve the goals, you need to go out and get pictures. You may need to make some declarations as long as you take them to the right people. Let me give you a couple of public examples. Jim Carrey, the comedian and the actor, when he was flat broke, he wrote himself a cheque for $10 million. He used to go by the Hollywood sign, flat broke and he’d look at it and visualize cashing it. That’s how much money he made for Dumb and Dumber.

I’ll give you more examples. Demi Lovato, the singer. When she was unknown years ago, she posted on social media, “One day, I’m going to sing the National Anthem in the Super Bowl.” I’ll give you some personal examples for me. When I was eighteen, I bought a four-door car because I figured I had to have a four-door car to show houses because I was a realtor. I bought this bone ugly Ford Granada piece of crap with the bench seat in the front, but that’s what I figured I had to have.

The guy I was telling you about that I worked for had a couple of Corvettes and he let me drive one. I’m like, “This is freaking awesome,” so I got a picture of a Corvette out of a magazine. This is way before the internet. I put the picture of that Corvette on the visor of my Granada, so every time I sat in it, it was right there in front of me. Then in 1 or 2 years, I had a beautiful Corvette. I was watching the TV show Magnum, P.I with the detective Tom Selleck. He drove this Ferrari 308. I thought that was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I got a picture of that actual car and put that on the visor of my Corvette. Within a year or two, I had a Maserati that looked just like it.

Last example. I’m the guy that always wanted a Lamborghini. I used to dream about the Lamborghini Countach back in the day, but what’s interesting is my son collected models of exotic cars. He had about 40. He had the Ferraris, the McLarens, and he had a Lamborghini with the exact same color and style that I ended up getting, which I wrecked ultimately. The point is, get pictures of your goals.

I know you’re putting this out on YouTube, so I’ll show you something. For those of you reading, I’ll describe what I’m showing him. I’ve got a full-size planner here. In the back, I’ve got pictures that have been in here for years. They’re in plastic. The first pictures are my gratitude pictures. They were pictures of my kids when they were very young. My daughter’s 30 and my son is 26. Everything starts from a place of gratitude. If you’re going to manifest anything into your lives, it starts with gratitude. That’s the foundation. Then after that, I’ve got the things that I wanted.

You need to put a time limit on each goal. Put how many years you think it’s going to take you to achieve it.

What’s crazy is this top picture looks like the house I built on the beach. It’s got that 10-foot-high glass that was bought together and the travertine floors. This was before I built it. This bottom picture looks like the compound I have now. You can see those white walls in the pictures. This was many years ago. Look behind me. That’s my backyard with the same white wall. It’s crazy, and then I’ve got pictures of stupid stuff like watches. I got a few hundred thousand dollars with the watches, stuff I thought was important at one time.

Replace these examples with whatever you want. The Lamborghini before I ever got it, Rolls Royce, Bentley, all this stuff that I thought was important at one time that I got because I put pictures around me. I’ve got vision boards. I’ve got pictures on my walls. I’ve got them on my screensaver. It works. I know I lost some of you analytical ones that are going on and saying, “We’re in the foo-foo land here.” That’s a big mistake. I’m here to tell you that this is how I had $50 million to lose and how I got back to what I have now. I bought somewhere around 2,500 doors in the last years.

I love the idea of visualization. I love all of that. One of the things that I have experienced personally, and that I think many people have experienced, is the idea that when they got to the top, they found out there’s nothing there.

Let me give you a gripping example. I’m really glad you brought it up. I didn’t want to forget that. You reminded me of it. Remember I told you about that house on the beach. This house was magnificent. It was a beach on one side and bay on the backside. I’ll give you some examples of why it was so cool. I had a 12-foot-wide waterfall from the second-floor balcony into the pool. It was like the pools in magazines. It had a giant spiral staircase up through the middle of the house. It was built with rod iron and all this cool decorative stuff. It also had an elevator and a wine cellar.

On the second floor, I had aquariums built that cost me almost $200,000 around the spiral staircase. It gives you an idea of the house. I worked for this for twenty years. Two months after I moved in, I’m floating in the pool at night. The pool is changing colors. It’s got fiber optic lighting. I’m looking up at this testament to my ego. It was what it was. It was to prove to the world that I was good enough, and that’s the truth of it. I got depressed. I don’t mean a little bummed, but I was really bummed. I’m like, “What the hell?” I’ve achieved success times a thousand.

I had the family inside sleeping, all the toys and the house. How could I possibly be depressed? There were several things going on, so I’m glad you reminded me of this. The first one is you should never achieve a big goal without having other goals lined up behind it. Like the good book says, “Without a vision, the people perish.” You need a vision for the future, and I didn’t know what I was going to do next, so that was a big one. The second big one was, it’s never about the goals.

SCRE 356 Rod Khleif | Lifetime Cashflow

Lifetime Cashflow: You got to have the goals to create that burning desire, but it’s never about that. Happiness comes from progress and growth.

 

Maybe you’ve heard the expression, “The happiest days of a boater in his life is the day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat.” It’s never about the goals. You got to have the goals to create that burning desire, but it’s never about that. Happiness comes from progress and growth. How was I going to grow our progress? You’ll learn this in my boot camp. I teach a weekly planning process that includes celebrating whatever you got done. No matter how minor. You’re going to have delays in life. You’re going to have setbacks.

At 27 businesses and seminars, most failed, but that’s okay. We learn from them. We move on and dust ourselves off. We keep going. The goals are never a straight line, but if you’re celebrating your progress in your growth, you’re always going to be happy. That was the second thing. Here’s the big one. I didn’t feel like I was good enough. I used to ask myself, “How can I show them I’m good enough?” which presupposed that I wasn’t. I was focused on me. I was like, “Show the world that I matter and I’m good enough.”

When I got depressed, I went out and bought some books, and one of them was Tony Robbins’ book. I’m like, “I like this stuff,” so I went and saw him live. I found out that he fed families for the holidays. I’m like, “What a concept. Do something for someone else one day.” I’m embarrassed to say I had to be 40 to get that memo. I called my brother because I was going back to Denver for Thanksgiving. I said, “Let’s feed five families.” He went to his church and found five families that needed help. We did it for Thanksgiving. We do it for Christmas now, but we’d alternate sometimes.

He got these five families. We bought toys for the kids, if they had kids. We bought frozen turkeys and big boxes of food. I had a lot of fun buying this stuff. The third house changed my life. We go up to this crappy row house. It was a crappy one-bedroom with a woman there with five kids. She comes out and sees all the stuff on the porch, food, toys and starts crying. The kids come out and the older ones start crying. I start crying. I’m hooked. The next year, I fed 50 families, and I doubled it every year up to 1,600 families.

I’m blessed to say in the last couple of years, we fed over 100,000 children for the holidays. We’ve done tens of thousands. I’m not bragging here. There’s a message in all this. It’s important if you want success. I’ve done tens of thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies for local children. It’s astounding to me. We live in the greatest country on earth and kids don’t have fricking school supplies. I’ve bought tens of thousands of teddy bears to local police departments for their officers to keep in a vehicle if they counter a child that has been traumatized.

Here’s the message in this. We have been taught to achieve to be happy. That’s it. I’ll be happy once I’ve achieved it. It’s a big mistake. Give back now in some fashion and you’ll be happily achieving. I know that’s a play on words, but it’s an important play on words. You might be saying to yourself, “That sounds all real good. Once I’m making money, I’ll give back.” Big mistake. Find a cause that you’re interested in now. Children, the elderly, environment, animals or whatever it is that will juice you, and do something towards it now.

If you’re celebrating your progress in your growth, you’re always going to be happy.

You’ll be happily achieving and you’ll get to success faster. Trust me on this. That’s the way God, the universe, or whatever you believe works. You get it back tenfold or a hundredfold. You don’t do it for that reason, but that’s the way it works. Tony Robbins calls it The Science of Achievement Versus The Art of Fulfillment. Achievement is a science. If you want to learn multifamily, I will give you the blueprint step-by-step. You just got to do it. It’s scientific. There’s no guesswork in it, but fulfillment is an art. The art is discovering what juices you and then doing something towards that.

It doesn’t have to be money. It can be your time. I’ll put a plugin for my foundation. I pay for everything and then some. Everybody that comes to my boot camp, I feed a family. I pay all the operational expenses, but if you want to donate, text TINY HANDS to 72345. Every dime goes to the food and the backpacks. $22 feeds a family. If you want to invest passively, come to the boot camp. Why would you give your hard-earned money to someone if you don’t have a basic understanding of what it is they’re doing, so you can protect yourself with your hard-earned money?

Text MULTIFAMILY to 72345 and use the code ROD FRIENDS. You can come for less than $200 and you’ll get those courses and the book. If you come to me on the final day and tell me you didn’t love the event, I don’t mean like it, I love it, I’ll give you your money back. No questions asked. It never happened, but who knows? There’s a first time for everything.

Thousands and thousands of people have attended, but I’m super excited because I’ve been doing virtual events for years. I’ve had thousands of people do that, but it’s just me and my poker-faced videographer. I get no energy. It’s me full-on for days. It’s brutal. When I’ve got a crowd in front of me, I get that energy, love and excitement. I’m so looking forward to it.

You’ve given us so much here. This has been a blast. I certainly enjoyed it. Going back to some of the highlights, separate identity and vehicle, that’s a tough one. You are talking about building your peer group, the top five people you surround yourself with, fear regret more than failure, happiness comes from progress and growth, and not achieving necessarily the goal. I love the idea of visualization. That’s a big part.

Let me give you an example of that real fast. Most mornings, I’ll sit in this recliner behind me and I’ll do gratitude. I’ll be grateful for my supermodel, a beautiful wife who is more beautiful on the inside than the outside, my kids, my foundation, my coaching students. I’m really proud of my coaching students. I’ve been teaching for many years. They now own over 46,000 doors. I’m freaking proud of that. I do gratitude for all of that for a couple of minutes, not for long. I’ll sometimes do it in bed. It doesn’t matter where you do it, but this is a really powerful exercise.

How to Create Lifetime Cashflow Through Multifamily Properties: The New Rules of Real Estate Investing

Then, I’ll do gratitude for the things that I want as if I already have them. I know that sounds goofy. I lost a couple more of you here, but I’m telling you, this is how I had the $50 million to lose and now I got it back. It’s not ego because it freaking works. I’ll do gratitude for the things that I want as if I already have them. Sometimes I get emotional being grateful for things I don’t even have yet because it works.

I love the energy. I don’t know how old you are, but it seems to be boundless.

That’s a real key for any business that you get into as well, especially multifamily real estate because it’s a team sport. People need to feel that passion to want to work with you, and the only way you get that passion is if you love it. You can learn to love anything. You can associate pleasure with it. I tell them, “Equate it to hunting for buried treasure.” If you can’t learn to love it, for God’s sake, do something else because you’re not going to be passionate about it and you’re not going to influence anybody. To influence, you got to be passionate.

I’ve enjoyed it. If our audience want to get in touch with you, I think you’ve mentioned a few ways.

Let me give you a couple more. My show, I’m blessed to say that there have been 11.5 million downloads so far. If you’re not interested in multifamily, I do a clip every week called Own Your Power. It’s 3 to 5 minutes. It’s super short. There are hundreds of them there. I talk about topics for you to own your power. I did self-actualization, focusing on a higher goal than a lower goal and things of that nature. If you give me five minutes a week, I will juice you. If you want to check it out, Lifetime CashFlow Through Real Estate Investing is my show.

Even if you’re not interested in multifamily, you’ll love those Own Your Power clips. If you want to go to my website, I’ve got tons of free resources there. I’m about adding as much value as I can. I live by that motto. There are books, articles, videos and it’s all free. If you go to RealEstateWithRod.com, that’s the direct link to RodKhleif.com. Take advantage of all those free resources. I appreciate you having me on. It has been fun.

Thank you. I do appreciate it. Have a great rest of your day.

Thanks.
