Make Money While You Sleep with Seth Bradley

Normal 1632960008 Exp Cre PO D CA St  4

There are many different things that kind of keep me centered and grounded and on track. I mean, I love to work out going to the gym every single day, just about every single day, spending time relaxing with my wife and family, meditating, things like that. But I think the key thing that people need to do, and I try to do it every single day, is just take a few minutes of silence, and that could be wrapped up in some of the things I just said

Brett:

I’m excited about our next guest. He's at a V group, I think one of the greatest cities in the world San Diego, California, and he's a Real Estate Entrepreneur and expert at Creating Passive Income while working as a highly paid professional. He's close to billions of dollars in Real Estate transactions as a Real Estate Attorney investor in the Broker. He's the managing partner of Law Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on multifamily and opportunistic real estate acquisitions. He's a former big law attorney and is now the managing partner of his own firm Bradley Law Limited, and he is here to share so much with us. Please welcome the show with me, Seth Bradley. Hey, Seth, how are you doing?

Seth:

Doing great Brett. Thanks so much for having me on today.

Brett:

Absolutely excited to get to know you a little bit more and hear about your story. Let's start right there. Tell us a little bit more about your story and your current focus.

Seth:

It took me a long time to figure this game out. I grew up in a blue-collar family in West Virginia. So, we didn't have a lot of real estate or entrepreneurship or business type of focus growing up. I always thought what's the best job I can get, and to me, that was becoming a doctor. I started going to med school, went down that pathway, I realized pretty quickly that that wasn't for me. I still had that two mindsets still had that, work, work, work mindset, and the next best job, I thought it was, you should become a lawyer. That's what I did. I went to law school after that did pretty well there ended up getting a big law firm job right out of law school, and I don't dislike practicing law, I actually enjoy the work because it is real estate related, and I love real estate, all things real estate. But what I did hate was just kind of getting caught up in that, office atmosphere, the office politics, kind of having to do all the, 20,000 bosses and billing 2200 hours a year, and I quickly figured out that there's a different game, and that's called entrepreneurship, that's called investing. That's called making money while you sleep, and we can get into that a little bit later. Fast forward a little bit. My private equity company, Law Capital Partners, invests in private commercial real estate, sometimes we bring on passive investors into a deal, sometimes we just partner and JV with a couple of people and take down the deals ourselves. But we're full steam ahead.

Brett:

Amazing love that part, our traditional sometimes families, my family was my grandmother growing up, she kind of paved the way for the next generation to go to college, and then my brother and I were the first ones, to graduate college on both sides of the family, and so that created the new opportunity to go get a higher paying, let's say job in my world was, was more like working as a broker and then worked, and kind of, and then moving into my own entrepreneurial journey there. Love that. We'll dive into more of that here in a minute, and, and I love the idea of talking about making money while you sleep. Because I think that's the foundation of being able to get some freedom. But before we go there, Seth, I want to take one other step back to help our listeners to even get to know even a little bit more, and to find out a little bit more about your gifts to see if it might be a connection for them for you to help them and, and it goes to this, maybe it's your high school days. Maybe it's the university days, I don't know, maybe it's a young time when you're back, and you're growing up, and maybe someone's mu, someone's telling you what kind of gifts and talents you might have. I believe we've been given certain gifts. Some people call these strengths or superpowers, I believe their God-given gifts, and they've given us to be a blessing to others. I'm curious, maybe one of those one or two gifts that you believe you were given? And how does that help you help and bless people today?

Seth:

I would say it's taking a complicated topic and boil it down into kind of just the nuts and bolts step by step, here's what you need to do. Rather than getting caught up in this huge big picture thing that might, you might not be able to wrap your head around, and I've kind of honed that in as well being an attorney because, obviously legal documentation, legal regulations, things like that are very complicated. They're in a totally different language, and then when you need to explain those things to a client, dropping that legal ease on them doesn't get you anywhere. You need to explain it in a way that everyone can comprehend and understand.

Brett:

It was that something you were doing at a young age like where you found like those connections where people were coming to you for me with math problems, maybe it was something else some kind of complex thing. The guy who could do all the orders that a Rubik's Cube, you can put that way. What do you think that comes from?

Seth:

I think it's from my parents because they're both great school teachers, my dad ended up having to go to the coal mines and make some more money. But they're both teachers by trade.
