506B or 506C Syndication? Multifamily investor Rob Rowsell explains the important differences between these two types of Regulation D investing plans.
Regulation D Investing Plans – What is the Difference?
Rob jumps in to explain the difference between Regulation D Investing Plans. Is a 506B or 506C syndication plan right for you? Read on.
506B Regulation D Investment Plans
Real estate industry pros refer to the Reg D syndication deal 506B as the “Friends and Family” plan. If you seek out this deal, the main rule is that you must have a preexisting relationship with your investment partners.
Before signing the PSA, you must provide proof that you know them. You also may not solicit investors publicly for these properties. This includes online advertising, print ads, and in person public appeals through your local chamber of commerce or other forum.
506C Regulation D Investing Plans
Regulation D investing plans classified as 506C are for accredited investors only. This means you must have a net worth of at least one million dollars. That net worth excludes your personal residence. You can also qualify if you have earned over $200,000 in the previous year as a single, or $300,000 as a married couple. Financial institutions also need confidence that you will earn that same amount in the following year in order to approve your plan. If you are approved for a 506C investment plan, you are free to advertise your deal to other investors publicly.

What are the best wealth building books for your shelf? Rob Rowsell, successful multifamily real estate investor, reveals what material you need to read in order to increase your financial IQ!
Best Wealth Building Books – The Wealthy Code
Rob starts the video clip by introducing the book The Wealthy Code by George Antone. Specifically, he covers the three levels of affluence it covers, relative to financial independence. Each level (Rich, Wealthy, Job) centers around businesses. Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki defines a business as an entity that can operate independently if you, the owner, were physically absent for a year. If that statement isn’t true for you, you have a job, and can’t be financially independent. A job requires your time and attention for a minimum of ten hours per week.
If wealth building is your goal, then you must develop passive income. Anyone with a job that pays above their means can start small, investing that extra money into investments that appreciate in value. Eventually, those properties will generate cash flow. Cash flow is wealth. Learning that fact and amassing the knowledge on how to properly redirect those funds was a game changer for Rob Rowsell.
When Rob first started his house flipping business, he was not setting himself up for regular passive income. A mentor advised him to keep every third or fourth property and collect rent from the tenants, rather than selling it. This meant that he could gradually decrease the work hours he invested in his real estate business. Over time, that business became less of a job, and more of a passive income engine.
Best Wealth Building Books – Money: Master the Game
Next, Rob shares a page from Tony Robbins’ book Money – Master the Game. This is one of the best wealth building books, cited by countless successful investors. The page features an illustration of a mountain, outlining a wealth journey. The peak of the mountain, labeled “Critical Mass”, represents the point where we retire. As we climb the mountain, we are accumulating money for our retirement. The de-cumulation phase occurs on our way down from the peak.
The “Nest Egg Theory” says we should have a big enough bag of money saved up to last us the rest of our lives when we retire. However, life happens. The nest egg may not last us the rest of our lives. We may have to work another job in our golden years in order to make ends meet. Ideally, we have a passive income stream instead that ensures that we make it through.

Successful entrepreneur Rob Rowsell is here to discus real estate deal acquisition from a 30 Thousand Foot view. Read this article and watch along in order to examine the big picture of a rental property deal with Rob. You can never go wrong when you are learning from a proven multifamily investor and business coach.
What Does Real Estate Deal Acquisition from 30,000 Feet Look Like?
Networking To For The Right Real Estate Deal
In the first part of this deal flow discussion, Rob lists a few of the real estate websites he frequents. Specifically, Loopnet and Crexi are favorites. He does not search these sites for the purpose of finding his preferred property deals. Rather, he uses them as a real estate networking tool. He builds relationships with the brokers who are selling properties in the specific locations that he is interested in. Rob requests that they put him on their email lists. Then, he offers to meet them for lunch to talk business when he is in their town. Eventually, these may just lead to the property deals that Rob likes to fill his buy box with.
Underwriting The Property Offer
Congratulations! You are now ready to make an offer for the property. Underwriting the property offer is the first step. This can be a very tedious and time consuming process. However, it is a necessary task for you to check off your list. Next, after you can make the offer to the seller, you can move on to the LOI (letter of intent) phase. This phase also includes the back and forth negotiation,which takes place between the real estate buyer and the seller.
Get excited, because after that, it will be time for the lawyers to get involved. Each party’s attorneys will work together in order to draft the PSA, or Purchase and Sale Agreement. Once the PSA is complete, then the real estate buyer will work with a Transaction Coordinator. The Transaction Coordinator is there in order to help open an Escrow account for the property. A Critical Dates Document will then be drawn up. This document outlines when each specific payment will be due for the property.
What Are Lawyers’ Duties In Real Estate Deal Acquisition?
Are you ready to close on your new (to you) rental property yet? Nope, not quite yet! Next, your lawyer will be tasked to do their financial due diligence. This will prove that the property’s value and income are 100% correct. It will also make sure that the billing accounts are all paid up. Nobody wants to buy a run down property that still owes a bundle in delinquent utility bills. Here is a pro tip from Rob: No income statement from a seller will match up 100%. As long at it is close, then you are good to go. Your broker and your attorney should have access to all the records that you requested in your spreadsheet.
The Importance Of Physical Inspections In Property Deals
Often, your chosen property management company will need to walk through the doors for a thorough inspection. The company will physically inspect everything with you before the sale. You should expect to pay them a reasonable fee for the walk through service. After all, you will get what you pay for. Make sure that you take the initiative to hire some third party specialists to inspect the roof, the plumbing, and the HVAC. Often times, the person who is selling the property is unaware of the existing problems in these areas.
Rob usually likes to purchase rental properties which will require a few renovations. One of the most important parts of his standard real estate business plan includes setting a schedule for these much needed renovations to take place. Once the property renovations are through with, then it can command a much higher amount in rent payments. Make sure you inform the potential new tenants of the fact that these improvements will be worth the extra charges on their rent.
The Final Steps of Real Estate Deal Acquisition – Engage With Your Power Team and Investors
Does everything check out with your new real estate deal acquisition? Then you will need to make sure that you keep engaging regularly with your Power Team. This team will include your lawyers, your lender, and your property management company, as well as your insurance company. You should also preferably assemble a team of reliable investors who have pledged capital to your venture. Keep them in the loop through each and every step of the buying process. This is mission critical in order to ensure good faith with them.
Now, take over the property and celebrate! Wow, that real estate deal acquisition sure was a whole lot of work! There are plenty of tasks yet to come though, for you, new multifamily property investor. You should take a break and reward yourself now!

Multifamily real estate investor Rob Rowsell outlines the 7 Investment Tips for Business Owners. You can take total control of your finances when you invest profits intelligently! Compound interest and your own unique advantages are just two facets of your wealth building journey. Make sure you also have an exit strategy…from life itself! Pass your estate on seamlessly to your heirs, but not all of it. Most of it should be given away to good causes.
Breaking Down 7 Investment Tips for Business Owners
You want to build a business, and not a job, right? Of course you do! These are the seven investment tips for business owners who want to grow into a passive income and out of the rat race.
Once your cash has started stacking up, investing it wisely is key. Set aside some spare time for education outside of your business. When you look at yourself from an outside-in perspective, you can identify your advantages in the marketplace. Some business owners, such as Rob, have found their fortunes in real estate investing. Other investments may play more to your strengths. Over time, the money you put away for your outside investments will overtake your annual salary.
Tip 3: Control Your Personal Spending and “Leakages”
Live within your values, and not your vanity! It’s hard to fill a bucket with water when there are little holes all over it. In much the same way, you can nickel and dime yourself out of untold wealth with unneeded purchases. Think of how much that former smokers estimate they save each year after quitting. Now, think of your daily candy bar or Starbucks habit. How much spending can you avoid each year by giving that up? Better yet, what if you invested all of that money in a mutual fund with high yield compound interest?
Investment Tips for Business Owners – Advanced Steps to the Finish Line
Tip 4: Actively Reduce Your Tax Drag
It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep! Saved taxes is an income bucket. If you find (legal!) ways to save on taxes, investing that money can equal huge cash returns over time! Remember, you are the quarterback of your finances. Nobody will care as much as you should! That includes your CPA and investment strategists, so don’t just blindly trust them to do the right thing every time. You’re not their only client, and everybody makes mistakes, so keep an eye out.
Tip 5: Avoid Foolish Capital Losses
We’ve all been tempted once in a while by new financial trends promising big short term returns. Hopefully, you have not been conned by cryptocurrency schemes or other random investments with no due diligence. Everyone (including Rob!) has fallen for this kind of snake oil. Don’t get fooled into thinking that you can successfully invest as easily as you can run a profitable business. Line your pockets, and not a con artist’s!
Tip 6: Let Time Compound My Net Worth and My Advantages
When you put the previous tips into practice, the goal is to build an additional wealth engine. This engine is independent of your business. The longer you work at establishing it, the less work you will need to put into it, as the engine will start running without your help. How? Once again, remember that the keys to starting this engine and keeping it running are using the education you’ve acquired in the marketplace to gain experience. Nobody starts out as an expert in any given field. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Putting in the work over time will both compound your net worth and your advantages.
Tip 7: Build My Estate Plan and Philanthropic Legacy
As you approach the finish line of your career and life, money will be less and less of a worry. Since you have built passive income over time that will serve you in retirement, you should turn your thoughts to what that money can do for others after you die. After all, you can’t take it with you! You invested your wealth both to provide a comfortable retirement and to help your survivors.
A staggering 70% of all wealth transitions do not end well! Regarding inheritances for your family, Rob recommends the book Preparing Heirs. It’s a game changer! Bottom line, choose an amount of money that can help your heirs live comfortably. This shouldn’t be an extravagant figure. Then, you should pick an age when your heirs will be mature enough to wisely invest that money. You should give the majority of your wealth away to philanthropic causes. We all know that helping others through scholarships, church mission funds, or other good causes will do exponentially more good than just giving it all away to our kids.
Conclusion – Investment Tips for Business Owners
That was Rob Rowsell’s quick and dirty outline of seven investment tips for business owners. These are the same strategies Rob has used for years, literally working his way up from nothing. From a homeless drug abuser to working in an auto repair shop, to then owning multiple shops, to finally selling those businesses in order to concentrate on real estate investing. Most importantly of all, he also teaches others to build wealth like he has. That means you! If Rob did it, then you can too! Why not join the ATL Community and let Rob guide you personally?

Rob opens up the group to a victory huddle. During this time, our community shares our wins, losses, and challenges with each other. Adding new family members was surprisingly the sole topic. We discussed new great grandchildren being born and the joy of quality time with kids and grandkids. One guest also brought up his recent blessing of adding a new son in law or daughter in law to his family by marriage.
Victory Huddle on New Family Members and Quality Time
The conversation starts off with Rob contrasting the game of football with other endeavors in life. Seasoned pro athletes may not need to huddle in order to win on the field. However, in the game of life, sharing our wins with others in a tight knit group is key for success. Sometimes that means opening up about our challenges and failures, allowing others to lift us up. It can also mean celebrating our victories in the huddle.
Gary informed us he and his wife just welcomed their twelfth great grandchildren. Rob added that the Bible teaches us that the birth of grandchildren is a reward for a life lived wisely. He mentioned how things like playing catch with our kids and grandkids may seem small to us, but they are building huge memories for them. When Rob and Claudia bought their motorhome, one goal was taking one week out of the year to take their grandkids on vacation with them.
Another group member Brad shared the victory of his son getting married recently. Rob reminded us this is another opportunity to mentor his new daughter in law.
