Aleya Harris [00:02:22]:
Brandon, thank you so much for joining us here on the flourishing entrepreneur podcast. How are you doing today?
Brandon Cobb [00:02:28]:
I'm fantastic.
Aleya Harris [00:02:29]:
It's a know those listeners out there do not know that this is actually the second time we spoken this week, because I just recorded on your podcast, and I think of it as a blessing because apparently we were just hanging out this week.
Brandon Cobb [00:02:44]:
Yeah, I guess so. Who knew that we were going to spend so much time together this week? It was a pleasant surprise.
Aleya Harris [00:02:49]:
It was a pleasant. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at so. But I know much more about you now. But let everybody else know a little bit more about you.
Brandon Cobb [00:03:02]:
Sure. So, my name is Brandon Cobb. I'm co founder and CEO of HPG Capital. We're a real estate investment firm that invests primarily in the Nashville, Tennessee market. We love affordable, entry level housing. We do about 20 $30 million of development per year. But once upon a time, I was in medical device sales. If you told me eight years ago that we'd be building neighborhoods and putting people in houses and making investments.
Brandon Cobb [00:03:24]:
I'd have looked at you like you had eight heads. And honestly, I don't have a story where I hated what I did. And there was a last straw moment, and I quit. And I had this dream. I actually love what I did. So I was the guy going in, wearing scrubs every day. I was rubbing shoulders with orthopedic surgeons, training hospital staff. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block in his 20s, getting to do surgery, and I sat down.
Brandon Cobb [00:03:52]:
The moment my life changed was one Friday afternoon when I was meeting my boss at Starbucks. And I was very excited. I had a very incredible day as a sales rep. As you know, you have one of those days where they throw a dog a bone or stuff just falls in your lap. It was that day. It was a great day for a sales rep. And I pulled up to Starbucks. The sun was shining.
Brandon Cobb [00:04:14]:
I think the equinox hadn't hit yet. It was in June, so there was a lot of sunlight out. Felt like it was 11:00 a.m. In the morning. I remember the smell of the coffee hit my nostrils, and I was, like, excited to tell my boss about this amazing day. And as I sit down across from him and start to have coffee, he fires me.
Aleya Harris [00:04:32]:
Oh, no. What did you do?
Brandon Cobb [00:04:35]:
Well, I was kind of shocked. I was like, what happened here? I thought I was, man, I had the rookie of the year award six months ago, and I worked 60 hours a week, and I was very single at the time because that's all I wanted to do was work. And that's what started me on my real estate journey. I gave myself.
Aleya Harris [00:04:54]:
Wait, before we go on the real estate still, we got to talk. So why did he fire you?
Brandon Cobb [00:05:00]:
I don't know. He said that, Brandon, I don't think that you're the right fit for us, whatever that means.
Aleya Harris [00:05:09]:
That's a cop out. There's something else happening.
Brandon Cobb [00:05:12]:
Of course there was probably something else. And, I mean, I was shocked, right? And I was about 3 hours and a bunch of phone calls later, I kind of got over the shock. But that was a pretty life changing moment for me because it taught me that nobody is going to look out for my financial well being but me. You can be as loyal as you want to another company. You can put in decades of blood, sweat, and tears, work the hours, and all it takes is some economic event or a downsizing or new management restructuring, and then boom, you're starting all over again. So that event really taught me that I was the only one that was going to look out for my financial well being.
Aleya Harris [00:05:45]:
That's right. I've given you little snaps for that one. Okay, now continue with the story. But now we're in the real estate. Keep going.
Brandon Cobb [00:05:54]:
Fast forward 20 years. We've got to focus on. We do entry level housing. We like that. So 35% of the home buying population can't afford anything, and we're the guys trying to give them something to afford, basically.
Aleya Harris [00:06:04]:
Wow, I wish that you did this in Los Angeles. I don't know what that would even look like because that's where we live. And we're like, we really want to buy. We really want to buy. In our area, an entry level fixer upper starts at a million dollars. So we're like, we're working our way towards that.
Brandon Cobb [00:06:30]:
Oh, my God.
Aleya Harris [00:06:31]:
Where we're currently at right now.
Brandon Cobb [00:06:33]:
Wow. Yeah. For us, it's like a $350,000 home.
Aleya Harris [00:06:38]:
Yeah. See, this is why Nashville is a sexy area to live in. Very attractive.
Brandon Cobb [00:06:46]:
That's tough to move into now. I couldn't imagine, honestly, where we really add value to the sellers that we help, to the investors we work with, to the end users that supply our product is it starts with the city. What we do is we just give people what they want. So we go to the cities and we say, hey, what's the vision for the community? What's lacking? What are you guys trying to build? What are the citizens complaining about? And we take that feedback and then we go, okay, where are the areas that are not the highest and best use? Where do you guys want to see density? If we were to create an additional million dollars a year in tax revenue, where would you spend it? How would you reinvest it back in the community? And we just connect the dots and so we go to those areas. And what I love about what we do personally is just so many people win in the process of development. City that gets additional tax revenue to invest back in its citizens, back into the community. You get home price appreciation for all the neighbors. We're pushing up values all around us.
Brandon Cobb [00:07:44]:
We're supplying jobs, especially to a lot of blue collar, working class families. And then we get to create this entry level home product that for us, it's cool to create something that somebody gets to raise a family in, right? It's their first home. They usually have a kiddo or two, or they're about to have some kiddos. Very exciting time in their life. And then of know, our investors win and we win and we all make money. So that's one of the things that I love about what I do is it just happens to be something that everybody gets to.
Aleya Harris [00:08:14]:
I'd like, as a californian, I'd like to apologize to the people of Nashville. So if you're listening to this and you live in Nashville, for all the Californians that have bombarded you and raised those home rates up so that Brandon needs to come in and create these homes for you, I would like to.
Brandon Cobb [00:08:35]:
Y'all are buying up a lot of the houses. Let me tell you, it is a real thing. Y'all are buying up a lot of the houses. I know there's a lot of buyers from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Aleya Harris [00:08:43]:
Yep, from the Bay Area and from LA because it's expensive and we want the same quality of life that we grew up with. Right. We want to be able to afford a house just like everybody else. But I understand that I spend a lot of time in Nashville because I'm a story brand certified guide story brand is based there. I do the live stream and do recording for workshops and stuff. So I was there a lot. And every time I'm in an Uber and I say, I'm from California, people are like, oh, Californian. They asked me, you're not moving here, are you? Like, no, I guess not.
Brandon Cobb [00:09:18]:
Yeah, the Nashville natives are a dime a dozen.
Aleya Harris [00:09:22]:
Sure. For sure. Okay. So now I think that people have a very good understanding of what you do and how wonderful you are. So let me ask you, when you don't feel like the real estate angel that you are and you're feeling off, or you're not connected to your why or you're feeling like, just kind of, meh. How do you know, what are the signs in your life that you know that you're off and what do you do about it when you're feeling disconnected, overwhelmed and stressed to spark your spark?
Brandon Cobb [00:09:59]:
Well, it happens frequently. And I'm sure there's a lot of other business owners out there who go through something similar. If you're signing up to be your own boss, to create your own reality, to build your own business, you're going to have the roller coaster ride of stress. You're going to have those disconnect. That is part of it. So let me tell you, you are not alone out there for me. I follow the rule of where my feet are, my head should be. And if my head's not where I am, if I'm noticing that I'm disconnected with my conversations at night, with my wife, when I'm unplugged from work when I'm noticing that I'm not in the present moment.
Brandon Cobb [00:10:35]:
If I'm thinking about the future too much, that's for me. Anxiety and worry. When you're thinking about the future and you're worrying, worry is praying for what you don't want to happen to happen. That's when I know I'm disconnected and my energy levels tend to be a little bit lower. I'm a very high energy person, and when I get that kind of mellowed out feeling, I know that I'm not in my right headspace. So then the question becomes, well, what are tools that I use to help mitigate that tool? Number one, journaling. I only journal when I'm stressed out. There's something about getting all the thoughts that are plaguing you onto paper.
Brandon Cobb [00:11:16]:
We've had developments where, man, we thought we're going to go fantastic. And they haven't. Right. There's been some break even stuff, some economic situations. Last year we had to deal with crazy increase in interest rates, capping the appreciation on all of our houses. Inventory absorption rates are not where they were spring of last year. Construction cost inflation, energy prices last year, going through the roof. I mean, this is all stressful stuff.
Brandon Cobb [00:11:41]:
Now, luckily, we took certain steps to mitigate things, but it takes certain tools to really get yourself out of that. Journaling, for me, helps get those monkey thoughts onto paper and out of my head. The other thing that I like to do is personify my stress. So my stress called Carl. So, if you get very in tune with what it feels like, kind of. To your question, how do you know you're disconnected? Being able to give some texture to that stress, to identify it, and then personifying it, it helps it create a third party view of your stress. And so you can say, oh, that's Carl again. Carl, get out of here.
Brandon Cobb [00:12:19]:
Not tonight. And you can kind of helps push it away. It compartmentalizes it and helps push it away. The third thing that I like to do, if I notice that I'm just really struggling, is I like to change my state. So I own a cold plunge. I might go do a cold plunge, I might go do a walk. I try to change my physiology, exercise, go on a run, do something to break my current train of thought. And the best way to do that is physiology.
Brandon Cobb [00:12:44]:
So those are the three tools I use changing my physiology, personifying my stress, and journaling my thoughts.
Aleya Harris [00:12:52]:
Okay. The personifying the stress part was, I loved all of the tools, but the personifying stress part was my favorite because I think it's also like the way you carl, like it was like a bad little kid acting. Now. Now I have to figure out what because my limiting belief character's name is Jessica, beautiful unicorn, rabbit. That's a whole story there. Put that to the side. But now I am going to name my stress because I do the same thing. I find myself living in the future way too much and I need to bring myself in the present and stress is the thing that immediately kicks me out.
Aleya Harris [00:13:35]:
Maybe a Linda. I don't know. I mean, she's definitely going to get a name. It helps. It really does. How did you decide on.
Brandon Cobb [00:13:46]:
Know? That's a great question. I was sitting there with my wife on the couch and Carl came up. Now I want to know. I don't remember, but I remember it was in the living room. We're sitting on the couch. We're about to watch something. We were talking about my stress because one of the things that I do when I'm stressed out is I let my wife know what's going on. I don't keep that in.
Brandon Cobb [00:14:05]:
And during rough times I have to say, hey, look, I'm not going to be as present. I'm going to be working till 07:00 p.m. Every night. I've got to figure out some things. And she's understanding because most of the time I'm very present. But every now and then when we go through something and you're like, all right, I got to put my cape on and get out there and fix some things, then I let her know, hey, look, I'm not going to be as present. Here's what's going on in my life. I need to fix this.
Brandon Cobb [00:14:31]:
And she gets it. She's been through a few of these and she's very supportive. She'll cook dinner at night and take care of me. She'll take over some of the responsibilities that I normally do. So we were sitting on the couch and I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure she was involved in that decision.
Aleya Harris [00:14:44]:
In the naming of Carl and Carl's baptismal naming. Love it. I love it. I'm going to respond to you later via email and tell you what my version of Carl is because I think that that is wonderful. Because why I love it so much is that it takes it as not a part of you. Because normally when we feel stressed, we are saying, oh, I am so stressed out. As opposed to looking at it as something separate, like, no, I am calm. Carl, we're just going to borrow Carl, for a second, Carl is doing all these things, saying all these things, making me feel this way and that separation, even if it's just a millimeter of difference between you and Carl, that's when you're able to come up with solutions as opposed to being overwhelmed by the stress.
Aleya Harris [00:15:32]:
So I love it. I absolutely love it. So when you're in that, well, I guess I don't want to say in stress, when Carl is particularly loud and you feel like you are looking, or at least this is how I felt, I'm looking for answers. I'm looking for answers. I'm sure you've gotten some not great advice before. Yeah. That you've had to follow.
Brandon Cobb [00:15:59]:
I want to make sure I understand your question. Not great advice from other people.
Aleya Harris [00:16:04]:
Yes, Carl has no good advice, but from other people. When you're feeling stressed out and you're looking for solutions, have you gone to others and gotten some not great, so great advice?
Brandon Cobb [00:16:15]:
I'm pretty sure that I've figured out what I need to do when I'm stressed out. Talking about it with other people helps, too. I'm a part of a lot of entrepreneur communities, a lot of development communities, and it really does take a community to get to where you need to go because the entrepreneur journey can be very lonely. And so if I'm going through some particular struggles, it's really nice to be able to pick up the phone and call somebody else who's been through it and talk it through. I'd say that's probably the fourth tool that I use going through that. So just being honest, I don't ask a whole lot of people like, oh, I'm stressed, what do I do? I know what I need to do and it's up to me to do.
Aleya Harris [00:16:53]:
It well, that's good. That's wonderful sense of accountability and responsibility. I think that if more entrepreneurs had that and that stronger sense of self, we would be a lot further. Because when we get thrown off of our center and feel like we don't know what to do or we need to try to figure it out because for some reason we're doubting ourselves, I feel like that's when a lot of issues come into play. So I'm really glad that you tend to have a stronger sense of self in that process. When you're in the process of setting your vision and creating a strategic plan, tell us what that's like. Because you've built a company sounds like from nothing as a medical device salesperson to a, I'm going to just call you a real estate mogul? What did that look like and how did you set that vision? And how do you continue to set that vision?
Brandon Cobb [00:17:53]:
It's one of those things that it keeps morphing, quite frankly. Real estate is one of those things where you got to be able to pivot with the market. And one thing that I love about development is there's so many exit strategies. You can rezone and entitle just the land and then sell it, or you can develop it and sell the individual pads to other builders, or you can build it yourself, or you can build it and hold on to it long term. So you have, like, a rental strategy, a build to sell a land, raw land, entitlement. So there's so many exit strategies depending on what the market calls for. I remember seven years ago, I wanted to flip 100 houses a year. That was, like my goal.
Brandon Cobb [00:18:39]:
I want to flip 100 houses. And I thought that that would be so exciting. And it was just this crazy thing that didn't see possible. It was the vision, right? Because it was so new, going from medical cells to now I'm making money myself. It is like going into a whole different world. You ever been to another country and the food is different. You can't understand anything. You can't read a menu.
Brandon Cobb [00:19:01]:
And people are. They look different. It was funny. My buddy, he's got made fun of his entire life for being really short. He's like, 5152. He's a guy, and he goes over to China and he's sending me pictures. And I'm like, something's like, what's up with these pictures? There's something I can't put my finger on. And then it hit me.
Brandon Cobb [00:19:20]:
He was the tallest person in all the photos with the chinese people he was meeting.
Aleya Harris [00:19:23]:
I was like, what?
Brandon Cobb [00:19:24]:
He's like, dude, it was like a different world. I was the tallest guy. I was like, this is what it's like to be the tallest person. That's kind of what it's like when you have a vision and you're figuring out what that is for the first time and you set it. The best part is actually accomplishing your vision. And so what does it become next? So we started flipping houses. Then we moved into doing single family new construction. So building new houses, and that was fun.
Brandon Cobb [00:19:49]:
We're like, oh, my gosh, we're going to start a construction company. We're going to be a GC. We got up to doing 30, 40 houses a year, and then we realized, oh, my gosh, wouldn't it be easier to just build them all in the exact same area because we're kind of spread out, sort of like in these neighborhoods where you could tear to down the house and build two. So then the vision became, all right, well, now we want to do these developments. And so we started doing these developments and things really took off when we were able to build in the exact same area. And so the vision became, well, let's do 500 units. If we could entitle and rezone 500 lots that we can either sell or develop or build on, how cool would that be? And then we hit that goal. And so now it's like, oh, my gosh, it's up to you.
Brandon Cobb [00:20:32]:
As the entrepreneur, you have to keep pushing the vision out. You have to have what Jim Collins says is a big, hairy, audacious goal, right? Because your team thrives off that. They want to feel like they're working towards something. They want to feel like they're working towards the vision. So it's always the CEO or the visionary's job to create that vision and keep pushing it out. So my vision has changed a lot now. Right now, I can tell you what the vision is for us is we've done a lot of new construction, a lot of build to sell, entry level housing. We're going to keep doing that.
Brandon Cobb [00:21:04]:
We're developing probably 200 lots for some other builders right now. Our next step is we want to start holding more assets long term for ourselves and our investors, to capture the tax benefits and create some long term wealth appreciation and cash flow, honestly. So our goal is to build and hold $20 million a year of new construction rentals. And I want to do that for ourselves. I want to do that for our investors. So that's the new vision that we've got. And I'm sure once we hit that, then it'll be time to create another vision to push towards.
Aleya Harris [00:21:41]:
I love it. I love the vision. Pushing the vision pushing. And it sounds like there's been a lot of pivotal moments as you move from vision to vision to vision. But can you tell us, what would you consider the most pivotal moment in your life? A moment of rebirth. And how did you manage that transition? What did you learn, and how are you better now on the other side?
Brandon Cobb [00:22:03]:
It's such a great question. There has been multiple times in my life where I've had, quote unquote, a rebirth. One of the biggest is obviously losing my job. Right. And making that transition into entrepreneurship. It really is like stepping into a completely new world, one that I think a lot of people in your audience can maybe relate to if you're in a position where maybe you're an army of one or maybe you've got like a virtual assistant and you're trying to get your business just on its feet and kind of get started. I'll never forget when I learned a really tough lesson. I'd been in business for about a year.
Brandon Cobb [00:22:40]:
I was managing two rehabs. I was doing one new construction project that was also crazy. The fourth deal I ever did was a new construction project. And just to give you an idea, medical sales. I don't know which way to swing a hammer. Nightmare. Never ever do that. Learned a lot.
Brandon Cobb [00:22:53]:
But boy, was stressed, and I was wearing all the hats. I was the project manager. I was working with the city to get inspections done. I was answering all the phones, I was sending out all the marketing. I was going on the sales appointments. I was following up with the CRM platform. And it quickly turned from this. Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited about what I do to having to wake up at 05:00 a.m.
Brandon Cobb [00:23:18]:
In the morning, going to bed at 1112 o'clock at night, trying to stay up after hours to get the marketing out, follow up with sales call, spend the whole day managing the projects. And I remember sitting there looking at a new construction project, and my hand was bleeding from an air filter that I'd picked up. And these subs were like screaming at me about getting paid, and I'm like, I'm not paying you. You didn't do it. And it hasn't passed yet. And they're like, oh, you're going to pay me? And my hands bleeding and I'm stressed because I've got all my money in these projects and they're taking longer, and I don't know what I'm doing. And I just hit the wall. I was like, I don't want to do this anymore.
Brandon Cobb [00:23:55]:
This is horrible. I can't live like this. And that's what pushed me out of my comfort zone to start hiring people. That was a huge transition in my life. When I hit the wall and I realized I can't do everything, that was probably some of the worst advice I ever received was, if you want it done right, do it yourself. No, you go find somebody who is a professional whose unique ability is doing the thing that you're poor at. And so that started my journey of joining some masterminds and making the right hires and bringing people into the business, learning how to manage people. That was arguably the most transformative moment in my life, that transformation from trying to get out of business operator into business owner, I love that.
Aleya Harris [00:24:43]:
I love that you realize that you needed to make a transition and that you did. That is awesome. That is awesome. So now that people know your story, they learn some tips from you. They know you and your frenemy, Carl. Let me not leave that out. How can people get in contact with.
Brandon Cobb [00:25:05]:
So, you know, we're on all the social channels, but if you're somebody who's interested in building a legacy, if you're wanting to make an impact with your friends and family, if you're trying to retire and you want to create passive income with real estate, we've got a ton of free resources on our website. It's Hbgcapital. Net. That's like harrybobgarycapital. Net on there. We've got our free ebook, 100 questions business owners ask before investing. You can grab it. It's completely free.
Brandon Cobb [00:25:35]:
I wrote that book because I wanted to make a difference. I got a phone call one day from one of our current investors at the time, had been with us for like three years, and he said, brandon, I have a friend who's in a lot of trouble. They have lost some money with someone they invested with in real estate. Can you take his call and see if you can do anything? I said, sure, absolutely. Give him my number. Connect us. So I hop on the call and he explained what happened. And as I'm getting more information from him, it becomes very apparent that this person could have avoided their situation.
Brandon Cobb [00:26:10]:
The money was gone. They didn't secure it. They didn't have the right paperwork. I mean, they made every mistake in the book because they were too green. And I was like, man, if this person just knew the right questions to ask, they didn't even need experience in it. If you just know what questions to ask, you can prevent a capital loss in your portfolio. Because many people are out there right now on this road to retirement, and they can't afford a setback. They can't afford a big loss.
Brandon Cobb [00:26:33]:
And unfortunately, that's what happened to this person. So I wrote that book, 100 questions business owners ask before investing, in the hopes that I could just prevent that from happening to just one more person. And the feedback has been great on it. So we want to give you the tools that you need to prevent a capital loss and make good decisions so you can grab it on our website.
