    291 - From Cubicles to Closings: Mike Doherty's Path to Real Estate Success
    Feb 16 2026
    291 - From Cubicles to Closings: Mike Doherty's Path to Real Estate Success Jen Josey hosts the REIGN podcast and shares a "Badassery Bestowment" on why every listing needs a professional photographer, citing five reasons: more clicks and offers, selling a lifestyle, protecting price, standing out in a crowded market, and saving time and stress. She then interviews Mike Doherty, a Connecticut-based full-time real estate investor, realtor, entrepreneur, co-founder of Skytree Investments, and host of the Sky's the Limit Podcast. Mike describes his path from a finance job after graduating from the University of Connecticut in 2015 to real estate investing, including learning through BiggerPockets, house hacking a duplex, and scaling by using the BRRRR method after running out of capital. He discusses misconceptions new investors face, emphasizes taking action, using meetups to build confidence and connections, and explains creative financing strategies such as seller financing and subject-to deals, including an example with 10% down, 4% interest, 40-year amortization, and a 10-year balloon. Mike shares a favorite deal involving raising the full down payment, selling after one year, and completing a 1031 exchange into a seller-financed five-unit property. He explains OPM approaches, partnerships and joint ventures, friends-and-family capital, and the importance of track record and some skin in the game. Mike outlines his move from W2 work to becoming a full-time realtor by lowering living expenses through house hacking, and he shares his BADASS answers: key books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, Who Not How, Never Split the Difference), best advice (take action), his drive (generational wealth and financial freedom), a goal of reaching 200 doors before age 35 (currently at 100), systems (assistant/transaction coordinator, Follow Up Boss CRM, calendar, and morning routine), and his definition of success as enough passive income to support his lifestyle. 00:00 Welcome to REIGN: What to Expect on the Podcast 01:02 Badassery Tip: Why Pro Photos Sell Listings (5 Reasons) 03:24 Meet Mike Doherty: Investor, Realtor & Podcast Host 04:46 From Finance Cubicle to First House Hack Duplex 08:49 Early Landlord Lessons & Misconceptions to Unlearn 11:32 Take the First Step: Beating Analysis Paralysis with Action 14:17 Scaling Up: Running Out of Cash & Learning the BRRRR Method 16:59 Creative Financing Deep Dive: Seller Finance, Sub-to & Balloons 20:57 Favorite Deals & Partnering Up Using Other People's Money 21:33 Raising the Down Payment + 1031 Into Seller Financing (5-Unit Deal) 23:00 What He'd Do Differently: OPM Sooner & BRRRR After the First Duplex 24:18 Flip vs Hold: Wealth-Building Mindset, Leverage, and Today's Market Risk 25:36 OPM Playbook: Partners, Private Money Terms, JVs & Structuring Deals 27:21 Friends & Family Funding + Skin in the Game (Even Teachers Have Money) 29:16 His Business Today: Full-Time Realtor, Investor Niche, Flips/Wholesale to Buy Rentals 31:40 Sky's the Limit Podcast + The "BADASS" Rapid-Fire Segment Begins 32:39 Books & Advice: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Who Not How, Never Split the Difference + Take Action 35:46 Drive, Goals & Systems: Generational Wealth, 200 Doors, Assistants, CRM, Morning Routine 39:46 Defining Success + Where to Find Mike (Podcast, IG, Website) 41:12 Wrap-Up & Show Outro: Subscribe, Follow, and Join REIGN 🔗 Learn More & Connect with Jen Josey:https://www.therealjenjosey.com – Real estate investing resources, podcast episodes, and more. 👑 Join the REIGN Mastermind:https://www.reignmastermind.com – Network with real estate investors nationwide. 🔥 Stuff Jen Josey Loves (Recommended Tools & Resources):https://www.reignmastermind.com/resources – Handpicked tools, books, and services for real estate investors. 📚 Buy Jen Josey's Book: From Beginner to Badasshttps://a.co/d/bstKlby – Step-by-step guide to real estate investing success. 🏠 Grow Your Rental Portfolio with Jen's Coaching:https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign – Book a session and scale your rental business.

  • 290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri

    290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri
    Feb 9 2026
    Check out Rental Property Pro: https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign 290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri Jen Josey kicks off this REIGN "Past Project" episode with a Badassery Bestowment on turning family and friends into private money lenders—without wrecking relationships. She walks through how to lead with education, focus on safety and clarity, keep terms simple, use professional paperwork (title company/attorney), and communicate like a CEO so lenders feel protected and respected. Jen then welcomes first-time podcast guest Chandra Adduri, a New Jersey-based tech professional and long-time investor with an 18-property, multi-state portfolio. Chandra shares how his upbringing in India shaped his "invest in land/assets" mindset, why mentorship matters (shoutout to Rental Property Pro and John Blackburn), and how buying out of state helped him avoid the "DIY trap" that kills scalability. The featured project is Chandra's newest acquisition: a 3 bed/2 bath beach condo in a Myrtle Beach resort community, purchased to expand into short-term rentals (STRs) and leverage STR tax advantages. He breaks down why he likes HOA amenities for competitiveness and convenience, how he financed with a specialized "condotel" loan, what he changed to stand out (colorful furniture + crisp white linens), and what it really takes to self-manage STRs—systems, fast responses, and a reliable local team. The episode wraps with Jen's BADASS acronym segment, covering Chandra's favorite book, advice, goals (including acquiring a home services business), and his definition of success: buying back time. 00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Today's Episode 00:58 Badassery Bestowment: Turning Family and Friends into Private Money Lenders 03:44 Meet Today's Guest: Chandra Adduri 04:59 Chandra's Real Estate Journey and Background 09:56 Exploring Short-Term Rentals and HOA Benefits 15:19 Financing and Furnishing a Short-Term Rental 18:30 Coffee Maker Tips and Initial Advice 18:44 Breaking Down the Numbers 19:04 Cash Flow and Tax Benefits 20:38 Long-Term vs Short-Term Rentals 21:48 Managing Short-Term Rentals 22:48 Building a Reliable Team 25:40 Future Plans and Goals 27:49 BADASS Acronym Breakdown 34:32 Final Thoughts and Success 5 key takeaways Private money works best when you educate first, not pitch first—and you protect relationships with clarity, structure, and consistent communication.Out-of-state investing can be a "self-control strategy" if you're tempted to DIY every repair; distance forces you to build a team and scale.Resort/HOA STRs can be a competitive advantage because amenities (pools, lazy river, hot tubs) help you stand out without personally managing them.STRs are hospitality, not landlording—expect constant questions, fast messaging, local-area knowledge, and SOPs for cleaners/handymen.Chandra's Myrtle Beach deal shows how STRs can be bought for cash flow and tax strategy (cost segregation + bonus depreciation), especially for high W-2 earners. Chandra Adduri Chandra Adduri is a New Jersey-based tech professional on the engineering side of the industry who has spent the last decade building a data-driven real estate portfolio. He owns 18 properties across multiple states, including New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida. Known for his systems-first approach and strong local "dream teams," Chandra is now expanding into short-term rentals to explore growth potential and tax advantages while continuing to scale with disciplined operations. 🔗 Learn More & Connect with Jen Josey:https://www.therealjenjosey.com – Real estate investing resources, podcast episodes, and more. 👑 Join the REIGN Mastermind:https://www.reignmastermind.com – Network with real estate investors nationwide. 🔥 Stuff Jen Josey Loves (Recommended Tools & Resources):https://www.reignmastermind.com/resources – Handpicked tools, books, and services for real estate investors. 📚 Buy Jen Josey's Book: From Beginner to Badasshttps://a.co/d/bstKlby – Step-by-step guide to real estate investing success. 🏠 Grow Your Rental Portfolio with Jen's Coaching:https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign – Book a session and scale your rental business.
