21-Year-Old CRE Prodigy: Gen Z Hustler, Gala Star, and Protégé of The GOAT Bob Knakal!

Season 4 · Episode 13

Thursday, May 30, 2024 • Duration 33:07

The Term Gen Z Will At Times Conjure Up Some Negative Connotations!

But like every generalization, the facts will tell you the actual story that this is not always the case.

The Do You Ever Wonder podcast had the opportunity to speak with a prime example of a Gen Z'er who is the epitome of hard work, perseverance, drive, ambition, and an eye on the career prize...JT Marting.

Podcast host Mike Haltman was introduced to JT through the social media platform X aka Twitter, and more specifically on X the hashtag there #retwit.

The 'members' of the #retwit community on X comprise some of the biggest national names in CRE who work in many different areas and sectors of the commercial real estate market including investment sales, insurance, development, construction, cost segregation, leasing, finance, and so much more.

JT Marting, going by the moniker Real Estate Rookie on X, is a student at Florida State who throughout his college career has done significant work and learning as an intern at six real estate firms in various areas and sectors.

Through the generosity of Geoffrey Stevens who has set up an organization that provides scholarships to Florida college students who show an interest in the real estate industry, JT has been able to further his real estate education and at the same time continue to make great connections!

But by participating on X, JT has met and become close to some of the biggest names in CRE like The GOAT Bob Knakal, Dan Tepman (Strip Mall Guy), and serious up-and-comers in commercial real estate such as Faraz Cheema.

So much so that JT was invited to the X Gala, an event limited to 200 CRE attendees from around the country that was held at Peak With Priceless in Hudson Yards. If you're involved in the commercial real estate market, X Gala was among the most coveted tickets!

So meet JT Marting and take away from him the fact that there is hope for the future!___________________________________________________Subscribe if you like what you see and hear...Please subscribe to the Do You Ever Wonder podcast using the two links below, and don't be shy about sharing the links with your friends.YouTube: Subscribe to Do You Ever Wonder here: Streaming: Subscribe on your favorite streaming platform here: Do you have a great story to tell?Are you interested in appearing as a guest on the Do You Ever Wonder podcast?

Trading Skyscrapers for Sunshine: The Journey from New York to Florida...Making Sure It's Done Right!

Season 4 · Episode 12

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 37:11

New York City's Population Is Dropping 2.49% Annually!

That's a big number with the percentage change from 2020-2024 sitting at 9.26%

We know that the reasons for leaving range from cost of living, crime, overall quality of life, and most certainly, the invisible hand of state and local governments taking an ever-growing amount of money from us through taxes.

So where are these former New Yorkers going? Many are going to states with more reasonable taxing policies including Florida, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, Alaska, South Dakota, and New Hampshire.

But establishing citizenship in another state is not as easy as living there, with serious proof, for 6 months and a day per year.

These state governments facing a loss of population do not take the situation lightly, and will jump through hoops to disprove your new domicile claim.

You Need To Consult With An Expert!

Enter Chaves, Perlowitz, Luftig Special Counsel Marisa Friedrich, an expert in the area of Tax Controversy.

In our conversation Marisa and I touched on many subjects surrounding the emigration to other states, along with what has to be proven to the auditors so that no demand for taxes is made.

Change of domicile...

The burden of proof falls on the taxpayer, not the government, and for New York State five primary factors need to be proven for the domicile to be considered changed...

Home: An auditor's examination of an individual's "home" will consider the person's use and upkeep of their New York residence in comparison to their residence outside of New York. When a taxpayer purchases a new home in another state and maintains multiple residences, including at least one in New York, this factor becomes more complex to assess. In ambiguous cases, an auditor will evaluate the use of multiple homes based on the following criteria: (a) size of the residence; (b) value of the residence; (c) nature of use; and (d) other relevant home features.
Active Business Involvement: Taxpayers who are heavily involved in or have substantial investments in a New York trade, business, occupation, or profession will find this factor challenging during an audit and should prepare accordingly.

Do You Ever Wonder About Combat Veterans And Death By Suicide?

Season 4 · Episode 11

Sunday, May 12, 2024 • Duration 21:42

Introducing The Heroes To Heroes Foundation!

Heroes To Heroes Foundation brings our American heroes from suicidal ideation to community reintegration!

Michael Haltman, CEO of Hallmark Abstract Service and Host of Do You Ever Wonder, recently engaged in a discussion with Ron Gold on The Nonprofit Voice radio show aired on Long Island News Radio 103.9 FM.

The focal point of their conversation was the impactful work of the Heroes To Heroes Foundation, a non-denominational 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to successfully saving combat veterans grappling with moral injury upon returning home and facing a significant risk of suicide.

Discover how this foundation provides crucial support to veterans' mental well-being and its mission to alleviate the plight of those who served.

Heroes To Heroes Foundation...

Heroes To Heroes Foundation is a $1MM charity, providing donors of any amount the ability to make a huge impact on our mission.

As an overview, the mission is successfully saving vets returning home suffering moral injury, and who live at serious risk of death by suicide. Our 12-month curriculum focuses on peer support, spiritual reawakening, and reconnection to faith.

Heroes To Heroes Foundation brings these American heroes from suicidal ideation to community reintegration!

HTH is 4-Star Charity Navigator-rated and the efficacy of our program has been validated by a long-term study conducted by Dr. Joseph Currier, a leader in the area of moral injury at the University of South Alabama.

A key to our program is a 10-day Team journey to Israel towards the middle of the year-long program, critical for the peer support, spirituality, and reconnection to faith pieces of our mission. In Israel, the vets travel with 3 members of the IDF who are suffering in much the same way.

These are links for more information.

Cuban Philanthropy That Delivers Hope - Inside SupportCubans.Life, Hand-Delivering Humanitarian Aid To The People Of Cuba

Season 4 · Episode 9

Tuesday, March 26, 2024 • Duration 32:10

A Charity Working To Help Cubans Living In Poverty!

'According to a 2022 report from the Cuban Human Rights Observatory (OCDH), 72 percent of Cubans live below the poverty line. 21 percent of Cubans who live below the poverty line frequently go without breakfast, lunch or dinner due to a lack of money.'

And while many people in America are suffering in much the same way, for Cubans who have come to the U.S. the plight of their brethren who remain in Cuba is often top of mind!

Enter Chazz Menendez who came to America in 1963 with his pregnant mother, as the still unborn child she was carrying.

I was introduced to Chazz by his and my good friend Valerie Smaldone (Do You Ever Wonder https://youtu.be/lckkDJfc9mM?si=RF1QwyvdtDcIcWWs) who felt that he had an important story to tell. Indeed he does!

Chazz, in the spirit of giving back to the United States volunteered on the World Trade Center pile for two days, September 12th and 13th 2001.

After adopting two sons, he was forced to retire from his career as a stunt man due to WTC pile-induced Stage 4 brain cancer.

But wanting to give back to Cuban citizens living in poverty, he recently founded the charity SupportCubans.Life with the tagline 'People Caring For People'.

Watch a short video about it here, https://youtu.be/kZg9zp16V7M?si=MSa7riqb9foMlyST.

In it, Chazz describes what SupportCubans.Life does, and how you can help.

This is the Mission Statement, '“SupportCubans.LIFE” is a grassroots, humanitarian nonprofit organization that raises money for our team of volunteers to travel to Cuba and also asks people to donate used and new essential products and ship these donations to our storage facility so that our team of volunteers can hand-deliver these donations.

Unlocking Residential Financing Solutions: A Deep Dive With Lauren Pastore At Contour Mortgage! Do You Ever Wonder?

Season 4 · Episode 8

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 • Duration 32:22

While It May Not Be The Sexiest Of Subjects, In Today's Real Estate Market Who You Choose To Arrange Your Mortgage Is Critical!

The Do You Ever Wonder podcast had the opportunity to speak with Lauren Pastore at Contour Mortgage who is a loan originator and sales manager with over 25 years of experience in the mortgage market.

And, looking back over the past couple of decades, Lauren has not only survived but has thrived through many different real estate and mortgage rate environments.

Today's Residential Real Estate Market

Today buyers are facing the proverbial 'seller's market' despite the fact that 30-year mortgage rates have climbed from the Covid-era 2 % or 3% handle to the current 6%+.

Lack of home inventory is a key factor!

On March 20, 2024 when the Federal Reserve's Jerome Powell speaks post-Fed meeting, the real estate market will get more direction concerning where mortgage rates head from here.

That being said, potential purchasers need to put their best foot forward when making an offer and besides the price, sellers will look to make sure that a mortgage will not stand in the way of closing the transaction.

One alternative is to pay cash, but if a mortgage is being arranged it is critical to work with a lender AND a loan consultant who knows how to get it done!

Many in the mortgage market with a track record and proven expertise can do the job. We have met them and worked with them through the years.

But today's guest Lauren Pastore is truly impressive given her deep and thorough knowledge of mortgage products, what best suits her clients, incredible attention to detail that ensures a smooth loan process, and finally her ability to help a potential borrower improve the statistics that will ultimately lead to an underwriters decision!

Some areas we touched on include...

Pre-Qualifications vs Pre-Approval vs Fully Underwritten Pre-approval,
Programs for qualified buyers that can lower the mortgage rate by a significant amount,
The importance of choosing a loan originator carefully,
