Torcana Podcast 22: Interview with experienced Tampa investor Tom Goebel
Tom Goebel is the guest on Torcana Podcast 22 and I think this is one of our best shows to date. Tom is a very experienced Tampa based investor who I´ve known and respected for quite a while. He has been buying real estate for 30 years and he has used just about every creative strategy out there to source, finance and profit from them. In todays show we discussed: - How Tom first got started in real estate at just 18 years of age - How he networked constantly with experienced professionals who partnered and advised him - How he started buying foreclosure & REO properties for 50 cents on the dollar back in the 1980s - How he was once the largest buyer of sinkhole properties in the Tampa Bay area - His transition into million dollar mansions and how he got caught out during the 2008 crash - How he helped hedge funds accumulate hundreds of properties in the recent crisis - His creative strategies including exchanges, hard money lending, notes, seller financing and more - His advice for new investors who are struggling to find deals and suitable time to source them - The simple steps Tom takes to juggle several other businesses in addition to a busy real estate one!
