If you have spent even one minute on these forums, you've run into Jay Hinrichs. He's one of our most prolific contributors, currently sitting at Number Five on the all-time posters list.
Jay has been investing forever, and is one of the most-requested guests for the Podcast.
The stars finally aligned, and Josh and Brandon were able to sit down with him and talk about real estate, and everything he's learned in the last 40 years of investing.
If you're new or you've been around awhile, you're going to learn something from Jay.
Just listened to podcast #222 and it was awesome. Thanks to BP for getting him on the show and thanks to Jay for being so open and sharing. I suspect that you could have talked for hours with Jay. And we would love to hear more. Please consider bringing him back again. :-)
I always wondered why Jay hasn't been on the podcast. I searched BP for a reason and found several different discussion threads explaining why, but they were all several years old. I'm glad this finally worked out and can't wait to listen!
@Joshua Lyon YUP I had a deposit on the Cirrus jet way back pre GFC it took them 12 years to finally deliver it. and I got 12 years older so I don't think single pilot in the flight levels is in the cards for me.. LOL I like these new Jet share apps coming out.. this could be a game changer for many small size firms like us..
Jay Hinrichs That's definitely understandable. I'd feel the same. It's a painful process getting anything certified through the FAA. Cirrus Jet and 787 case in point. The new Jet Apps are really cool. It's actually giving fractionals like NetJets and Flexjets a little competition.
@Joshua Lyon when I start spending half my year in vegas ( this coming year) I will enable my jetsmarter app Vegas is a Hub for them... we are isolated up here in NW just too much fly over territory for that to work....
although Vegas has its other challenges with all the folks half drunk on the planes.. friend of mine has a Phenom 300 and he won't let it charter into or out of Vegas... tired of getting tables broken on the plane that cost 15k to fix LOL anyway back to real estate..
@JayHinricks My dad also had a deposit on a Cirrus. Ended up selling his position to someone else. Made money on it though. :) Did you sell yours right away? Similar to you, we're not in a great area for jet sharing - northern Michigan! So, still in the market for a plane at some point.
Through constant annoyance and hounding I was fortunate enough that @Jay Hinrichs let me "ride along" with him a couple years ago. This grew into a business relationship that has extended beyond my wildest imagination. Jay is an unbelievable businessman, which I will be truly indebted to for the remainder of my years. He is the real deal and an extremely generous man that I am proud to call not only a business partner but friend. Through first hand knowledge and interaction you only heard a small snippet into what Jay has accomplished over the years. Great job on the podcast!
@Jeff Wallenius thanks Jeff very kind of you... I love all you great entrepreneurs that take the bull by the horns.. you all and mean that in a national sense this new crop from 20 to 40 are going to do far greater things that you can even imagine .. !!! there is so much more information sharing in todays world compared to trying to come up the ranks in the 70s and early 80's.. I mean it was a big deal to have an 800 # in my day
@Jay Hinrichs - I just finished listening to your podcast from my desk in Iraq. Probably one of the top 5 podcasts IMHO. I really love how you portray the ups and down of RE - and own the fact that it's not all glitz and glamour. I also really respect the amount of time that you spend in the forums.
Nice job Jay Hinrichs
I am a 20+ year private pilot with 10 rental properties between Florida and Wisconsin. I'm also licensed in WI.
My dream is buy an airplane that I could use to support my real estate investing.
Do you have any advise on buying an airplane in an LLC vs not? Or how to maximize the write offs while keeping the IRS happy.
Thanks in advance. It's nice to hear from another person who is passionate about real estate and aviation.
Jason
@Jason Eckman virtually everyone I know that has an aircraft has it in an LLC and or corporate name. USE tax is a real biggee along with sales tax. one reason Oregon is a great place to be headquartered no sales tax and no use tax.. CA Hammers you ..
so take a 500k purchase and CA state sales tax at 8% that's 40k then the use tax.
one reason why the HIGH end motor home industry is based here too.. no sales tax on 1 million dollar coachs but folks that have those know all the loop holes.
@Jay Hinrichs The story about your timber business is fascinating! You've done Everything and yet so humble and down to earth! That's what I admire the most! When your new product is up and running, please connect with me. Thanks for all your wisdom!!
