The majority of real estate agents don’t sell multimillion dollar ‘luxury’ properties.

Many certainly want to, but most never get the opportunity.

For a host of reasons, including a longer sales cycle, competition with new construction, and the perception of having to deal with a more sophisticated clientele.

But the main reason, according to Harif Hazera, has more to do with psychology, mindset, and limiting beliefs such as…

I’m not educated or sophisticated enough to deal with that crowd…

I’m not worthy…

Who am I to think I can sell multimillion dollar properties!

· What sellers are looking for most in a real estate agent (this will surprise you!)

· How to overcome the crippling limiting belief “I’m not worthy”.

· The biggest difference between selling a luxury listing… and a traditional listing.

· Don’t position yourself as a real estate “agent”. Do this instead to stand out from the crowd…

· How to transition from agent to investor…

· The key to start “attracting” money to fund your deals.

· What real estate agents REALLY sell…

· Why you must become an “owner” if you want to build true wealth.

· The smartest and most strategic people in the world point to this skill as the #1 key to their success (it’s not what you think!).

· 4 steps to selling anything…

· How to raise $25M… before you even have a deal!

· Proof that your network equals your net worth.

· Much, much more!!

Remember when Lehman Brothers failed? It marked the climax of the subprime mortgage crisis and prolonged ‘The Great Recession’, which was the steepest economic decline in the U.S. since the Great Depression back in the 1930’s. It led to credit freezing, foreclosures skyrocketing, and left the overall market pretty bitter and sour on real estate. The date was September 15, 2008. That’s when Drew Homola jumped into the game and started his home building company! Was he crazy? Or crazy like a fox? Here’s a sample of what we discuss:  The advantages of starting a business during a downturn.  His biggest money management mistake… and what he’s doing instead  A little-known, almost accidental real estate investing strategy that made him $70k … in just a few short months!  The pros and cons of having a license as a real estate investor/builder.

 Tips on how to vet and find a reliable and trustworthy contactor (from a contractor!).  Practical insights on how to implement effective cash flow management and controls.  The biggest challenges in ground-up construction (and how to mitigate them).  Much, much more!! More about Drew Homola: Drew Homola started as a home builder and general contractor during the depths of the Great Recession. Through the years he had built houses for other people, but soon realized he needed to start owning real estate in order to attain true financial security. And that’s exactly what he’s done! He currently owns First Choice Builders, First Choice Real Estate, and First Choice Capital. His primary focus these days is acquiring and developing assets through First Choice Capital, as he’s been able to create systems and recruit great employees who run the day-to-day operations of First Choice Builders and First Choice Real Estate.

In a talk to inspire his son to rise up from adversity and people trying push him down, Rocky Balboa delivered an iconic speech that basically summarized what it takes to succeed in life!

Here’s a snippet:

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

There’s more (we really encourage you to look it up on YouTube!), but that gives you a flavor.

Want to see how that looks in the life of an entrepreneur?

Tune in now as Dan Pierson shares his incredible roller coaster journey to becoming a top real estate investor and Fund Manager!

Sadly, many would-be entrepreneurs never become actual entrepreneurs because they wait for the perfect time to jump in, like…

When I have $___ saved up…

After I get this advanced degree…

When the kids are grown…

Once I’ve gone through these 3 home-study courses…

And on and on and on…

The problem?

Life rarely hands you “the perfect time”.

That was certainly the case for Susan Noh, who got started as a real estate entrepreneur, despite having little to no money or resources to start with, by utilizing a strategy called co-wholesaling (which gave her instant leads... and an opportunity to monetize from day 1 – even without a budget).

From those humble beginnings, she and her husband Andre went on to do a number of creative financing deals, land acquisitions, ground-up construction, and building up a short-term rental portfolio where they currently have 60+ assets under management.

Every single day in America, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 years old, and 4,000 turn 85.

That’s what you call a Silver Tsunami, and as a group, they’re the wealthiest age demographic so they have the financial means to satisfy many of their needs and wants…

Like remodeling services, travel packages, home services, nutrition/supplement products, and of course… senior living options.

It’s that last niche that inspired Brandon Schwab the most, since he was already in the real estate arena and focused on building recurring income streams.

He simply saw a way where he could surpass the income of his entire portfolio at the time… with the acquisition and development of just one senior living facility!

Tune in now to hear his amazing journey, including how he’s buying properties creatively with 0 – 1.5% financing … why he’s putting up facilities in the Midwest (when everyone else is focused on the Sunbelt states) … a deep-dive case study on how he 10x’d his revenue with his first senior living project … and what he’s doing to help transform and reshape the industry.

More about Brendan Schwab:

Brandon is on a mission to raise the bar for senior living. He saw the need for quality care first-hand with his grandfather, and opened his first home in 2014. He brings 20+ years of operating experience to his role managing real estate acquisition, development and financing.

Matthew Guerra is not your typical real estate agent…

It really wasn’t his dream career, nor did he become one so he could make big fat commissions (although he often does!). Instead, he got his real estate license because he wanted to level up his skills… and learn the game of apartment investing.

His focus on skill-building, and a willingness to do things that many others tend to shy away from, has certainly been a major key to his success!

As a result, he’s proficient at acquisitions and closing the deal, underwriting & analysis, raising capital, and putting together a syndication (aka Group Investment).

All are major skills that pay the bills (and he’s really just getting started!).

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

· It’s not very sexy, but it’s one of the most valuable skill-builders you can employ (and everyone can do it!).

· The secret of the Bamboo tree.

· How any real estate agent or broker can start building a portfolio – even if you don’t have a giant nest egg to start with.

· How Matthew used creative financing to buy a $1.5M student housing project – with very little money out-of-pocket (it’s now worth $2.3M!).

· Much, much more!

More about Matthew Guerra:

Matthew began in the real estate industry in 2013 and quickly became immersed, sourcing multiple investment opportunities and growing a strong track record before entering the commercial real estate sector in 2016. He’s personally sold nearly $50Million of income producing real estate, and has helped many clients in re-positioning multifamily assets for wealth generation and maximizing retirement income.

He earned the Rookie of the Year award with GIG in 2016, and quickly became recognized as a top producing agent. He founded Principle Quality Investments in 2021, which specializes in procuring off-market, value-add properties for its partners and investors.

Ready to do big (or bigger) things?

Listen in now to see how Dr. Maskey uses one of the ultimate levers that we all possess (but many don’t even realize)!

In order to succeed as a real estate entrepreneur, should you burn the boats and destroy the bridges?

Which is a philosophy from Sun Tzu’s book ‘Art of War’ that basically means you leave no other option for your soldiers other than to win and keep advancing (because there’s no way for them to turn back and retreat!).

Or… is it wiser to have some kind of parachute or safety net, like a job… or savings… or maybe even a spouse that can support the family during the ramp up phase?

We think there’s no right or wrong answer, and has more to do with your own mindset, personality, and risk tolerance.

For the right person, a ‘burn the bridges’ type approach may just be the rocket fuel they need to succeed.

For the majority though, we think having a safety net that gives you some security and peace of mind may be the more tried, true, and proven path.

And that certainly was the case the case for our guest this week, Anthony Pimentel.

Want to see an almost text-book example of how this is done?

Listen in now as Anthony shares his journey on how he’s building a real estate empire… all while working a full-time job as an IT professional!

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

How Anthony survived “The Great Recession”.
Is a real estate license necessary to be an investor?
How to invest in out-of-state properties… and the challenges of being a long-distance investor.
Battle-tested tips on managing contractors from thousands of miles away.
What Anthony started doing to mushroom into 300+ multifamily doors… and 350+ self-storage units.
The #1 key to his success…
Much, much more!

More about Anthony Pimentel:

Anthony has been investing in income producing real estate since 2006 in single family and multifamily properties. His areas of expertise include underwriting, due diligence, real estate acquisitions, asset management, asset reposition, and disposition.

Prior to real estate, Anthony has spent the last 18 years as a Technology Professional working for a company with annual revenue of $600M+. His duties include overseeing the company's global network infrastructure and cyber security.

In addition, Anthony is also co-owner of a national franchise restaurant which has been operating since 2014.

Over the last 6+ years he has worked diligently on growing his real estate portfolio to 300+ Multifamily and 350+ Self Storage doors across AZ, IN,TX, and LA through partnerships and syndications.

A big goal of this episode is that the next time you hear the word “Recession” or even “Depression”… you don’t get fearful (like the masses)… but you actually get excited!

Because those words should become synonymous with ‘Clearance Sale’… and “Buying Opportunity”.

Here’s what we discuss in this week’s episode to help reframe your thinking and actions so you can take full advantage of the next downturn:

How Bill bought a property every couple of months with a 3-step postcard mailing sequence to NOD’s (Notices of Default).
The smart way to leverage your equity.
How Kimmie P got every single envelope she delivered to potential sellers… OPENED (we can almost guarantee you’ve never heard about this sneaky little trick!).
Does “wholesaling” still work during dips and downturns? Yes, but not as well as it does during more robust times. Here’s the exception… and one wholesaling strategy that can actually flourish during a recession…
The ultimate strategy that works like gangbusters during a downturn!
Want to go fishing in a pond loaded with distressed properties? Focus on the “3 D’s”!
Where to get the names and contact info of distressed sellers who are ready and eager to unload their properties.
The 2 most recession-resistant real estate asset classes are…
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, says this is the #1 skill of an entrepreneur (and it’s especially true during a downturn!).

After 28 years of military service (with much of that time being deployed out of the country), Ismael “Rey” Reyes took off like a rocket in building his real estate empire.

How did he it?

First off, he learned the ropes by investing as much as he could while he was serving (acquiring 7 single-family homes even though he was constrained by time and geography), and more importantly, he really engrained and fostered one of the primary tenets of the military – TEAMWORK.

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

The pro’s and cons of investing in single-family homes as an out-of-area investor.
The benefits of being a passive “Limited Partner” first… before doing your own thing as an active “General Partner”.
Are high-ticket “Masterminds” worth the investment?
How to go big NOW… rather than later.
Want to start getting red-hot deals from brokers? Use this leap-frog approach to jump to the front of the line…
How to put together the right TEAM to start acquiring larger multimillion dollar commercial buildings and apartment complexes.
The lifeblood of any syndication business is…
Much, much more!

More about Ismail “Rey” Reyes:

Rey has been actively investing in residential real estate since 2005 and has focused exclusively on multifamily since 2016. He and his partners have invested in 14 multifamily properties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee, totaling over 900 units, and valued at $100 million-plus. Rey also provides independent consulting to multifamily investors and is the bestselling author of BLUF: The Bottom-Line Up Front about Passively Investing in Multi-family Properties.

One of the founders of AirBNB said that the secret to scaling a business is to first focus on doing the unscalable.

In other words, work “in” your business first so you can truly learn and understand the ins and outs of your operation… down to the nitty gritty details.

We know many are at odds with that approach, but it worked for AirBNB… and it certainly worked for our guest this week, Brian Burke.

In a storied 30+ year career, Brian has acquired over $800M in real estate (in various asset classes), launched 42 Real Estate Funds, and repositioned 4,000+ apartment units.

Yes… he’s now at a stage where he delegates just about everything, but he got to that point by first learning every facet of the real estate investing game from A-Z.

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

How Brian bought his first property with no money down.
When to “hold’em”… and when to “fold’em” (in other words, when you should be buying… when you should be selling.. and when you should be doing nothing!)
The primary signal that tells him it’s time to sell.
His latest venture… and where the opportunities are in today’s new economy.
A peek into his “crystal ball”… and when he thinks it’ll be time to be an aggressive buyer again.
This is more important than the economic cycle…
The 2 primary metrics he tracks and pays close attention to…
The pros and pitfalls of new construction
What Brian would’ve done differently to scale his business… in 1/3 the time.
His biggest lessons from his biggest mistake.
Brian’s 3 keys to success in real estate (or any business for that matter!)
Much, much more!

More about Brian Burke:

Brian Burke is President / CEO of Praxis Capital Inc, a vertically integrated real estate private equity investment firm. He’s acquired over 800 million dollars’ worth of real estate over a 30-year career including over 4,000 multifamily units and more than 700 single-family homes, with the assistance of proprietary software that he wrote himself. Brian has subdivided land, built homes, and constructed self-storage, but really prefers to reposition existing multifamily properties.

Brian is the author of The Hands-Off Investor: An Insider’s Guide to Investing in Passive Real Estate Syndications, and is a frequent public speaker at real estate conferences and events nationwide.

Five years ago, Jennifer Fawcett and her husband buy a duplex, and begin following a plan to buy at least 1 single-family home every year as their primary wealth-building plan.

Nothing wrong with that, right?

Fast-forward 5 years, and she and her partners have just closed on a 136-unit apartment complex in a vibrant Midwestern city!

How the heck does someone make that giant of a leap in such short order??

A favorite quote of ours is by Napoleon Hill who said “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit”.

It’s a great reminder that tough or uncertain times always provide amazing opportunities… as long as we remain open-minded and solutions-oriented.

That’s what true entrepreneurs do… and that’s how our guests, Andrew LeBaron and Jacob Amezcua, uncovered an amazing opportunity amidst the chaos and craziness of the worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic.

What was the opportunity?

Snapping up distressed hotels/motels (many took a financial hit once the pandemic set in)… and converting them into multifamily properties!

But not all hotels/motels are created equal.

What areas should you buy in? Does the style of building matter? How the heck do you mitigate risk with so many moving parts?

All that and much, much more is covered in this riveting episode!

P.S. We also spend a good amount of time on how to find the “right” type of partnership.

Want to multiply your efforts and skyrocket your results?

The right type of alliance can certainly do that, plus a whole lot more.

The wrong alliance though… can torpedo your efforts – just as fast!

Andrew and Jacob share some practical tips and useful resources to ensure you’re getting into partnerships for the right reasons… and with the right goals, expectations, and “chemistry”.

Former U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt said…

“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”

Whether that’s true or not depends on which camp you listen to…

Many successful people certainly live this principle (think Warren Buffett), but there are also many successes out there who are a little more bombastic about their achievements (think Donald Trump).

We think there’s really no right or wrong approach… it really depends on who you are and which approach you’re most comfortable with.

Now if you happen to be more aligned with the “speak softly” approach, you’re going to love hearing how our guest, Tyler Rayman, is living this philosophy… and experiencing great success as a result!

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

The power of asking good questions (the most undervalued and under-appreciated skillset to develop… but the most impactful!).
Secrets of finding good and willing mentors… even if you’re still “wet behind the ears”.
Compelling reasons to invest in Senior Assisted Living Facilities.
Intricate details of how Tyler put together his first deal… even though he didn’t have the down payment, couldn’t qualify for the loan, and didn’t have any experience!
The trials and tribulations of buying an ongoing operating business (like an Assisted Living Facillity).
Much, much, more.

The real estate investing industry has lost one of its brightest lights…

In one of his last interviews before his passing (after more than a year-long battle with a rare form of cancer), Aaron Norris recaps his life… his greatest memories… and some invaluable life lessons learned along the way.

On top of that, even though he was visibly weakened after going through another round of chemo the day before our interview, he was still able to muster the energy to drop some gems of wisdom for both newbie and advanced investors.

This is a must-listen-to interview on so many fronts. We see it as a final gift from someone whose legacy and incredible contributions have long since been secured.

We know you’ll get a LOT from this one!

More about Aaron Norris:

Aaron was VP of The Norris Group (TNG), which provides hard money to real estate investors in Florida and California. TNG also builds-to-rent (B2R) SFRs in Florida and trains real estate investors about the importance that timing plays in investment strategy.

Aaron served as VP of Market Insights for PropertyRadar for almost two years teaching investors, Realtors, mortgage professionals, and service providers about the power of public records data that helps Main Street small businesses disrupt disruptors. Data isn't just for Wall Street!

He was also a co-host for the Norris Group Real Estate Radio Show, and co-host and producer of the Data Driven Real Estate Podcast for PropertyRadar. He’s been an award-winning podcaster since 2007.

Aaron has spoken and written nationally on topics such as technology and its impacts on real estate (accessory dwelling units, 3D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence, XR, shared economy, fintech, etc.). You can catch his numerous contributions via online platforms like Forbes.com, BiggerPockets, and ThinkRealty Magazine to name a few.

We hear from a number of would-be real estate entrepreneurs who get excited about “getting into real estate”.

Invariably, many are talking about doing the fix & flip thing.

And why not… all you have to do is turn on HGTV and watch one of the flip shows… and it’s easy to see how anyone can get excited about flipping houses.

Buy a house for $300k, rehab it for $200k, then put it right back on the market and sell it for $800k… pocketing a healthy $200k+ for your efforts.

All done in under 60 minutes!

Not a bad way to make a living, right?

Yes, that can happen (just not in 60 minutes!) and that type of profit is possible, but there’s a whole lot that goes on in between “buying low and selling high”.

And 30+ year veteran, Lloyd Segal, is here to share his hard-fought lessons on what it really takes to flip houses for massive profits.

Here are just some of the “golden nuggets” he shares…

How to get “free” on-the-job trainingon what it really takes to win at the rehab game.
How to get an offer accepted in a hyper-competitive market.
3 tips on rehabbing a property.
What Lloyd’s crystal ballis telling us about the housing market in the coming months.
The #1 thingthat separates the super-successful… from the not-so-successful.
“Location, location, location” is the most important success principle in real estate, right? Lloyd actually says thisis even more important!
Lloyd’s favorite Rock ‘n Roll star he’s ever worked with (he used to be a manager and concert promoter for some of the biggest acts in music back in the day)… and the worst!

What’s the secret to creating wealth as a real estate agent (or any type of profession or business for that matter)?

We think it’s embodied in the quote… “It’s not your resources that determine your success, it’s your resourcefulness”. In other words, it’s having an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’.

Your mindset and psychology totally shifts. And so does your vocabulary.

You no longer say things like “I can’t afford it”, “I don’t have the down payment”, “There’s not enough time”, or “I don’t know enough”, etc.

You instead start asking yourself different questions, like… “How can I afford it?”, “How can I raise the money?”, “What skills do I need to learn so I can do ___”, “Who can I get to help me?”, etc.

Get the difference?

It’s a total game changer… which is why we’re so excited to talk with Tom Tran, a real estate agent/investor operating in one of the most expensive markets in the country, and whose story so far (he’s a young buck just getting started!) truly epitomizes the essence of being ‘resourceful’!

Here’s a sample of what we discuss…

Why Tom had to live on $2,000 (total!)… for two whole years.
How to become one of the top REO Brokers in your area (these are real estate agents who sell bank-owned foreclosure properties)… and how Tom and his brothers grew their brokerage to selling 40-50 properties per month!

What you must do when times get tough (or someone moves your cheese!) – if you want to survive and thrive.
The right way to use a student loan. ;-)
Cultivating an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’… and why it’s the ultimate secret to handling any type of crisis or challenge.
Tom’s nightmare fix & flip deal that he thought was a sure-fire winner… and the fatal mistake he madethat compromised the project from Day 1.
How to not get ripped off by your contractor.
How Tom created a powerful platform (at no cost) to quickly and easily find contractors and tradespeopleto work on his projects.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll be learning in this week’s episode:

Cash flow management secrets… and some simple tips to manage your business like a CFO.
The single most important hire in your entire real estate investment operation.
How to raise rents annually… and still keep your long-term tenants.
The right way to screen a prospective tenant… and some unconventional methods to ensure they won’t wreck your property.
The #1 thing your residents want most… and how to deliver it to them.

An early mentor told Bill one time that… “Buying right cures all ills”.

True or false?

We would say that’s partly true. But if you really want to deliver stellar returns and maximize your ROI… the work really begins right after you buy a property.

Yes… buying right is critical, but asset management is just as (and maybe even more) important as acquiring a good deal!

An early mentor used to say that… buying right cures all ills. True? We would say partly. Yes, it all starts with buying right, but if you really want to deliver stellar returns, the abiilty to rehab a project on time, stay on budget, and get your property leased up quick with quality tenants… is where the rubber really meets the road!

How to go from buying a duplex (first property)… to 1,000+ multifamily units spread across the Southwest and Midwestern United States.
The art of “managing the manager”.
Practical tips on how to keep a rehab on budget… and on time.
Why fixed, low-interest debt is the REAL asset in today’s new economy
Bryan’s 30-60-90 day action plan once a property is acquired.
How to hold your managers responsible and accountable.
Key metrics Bryan closely watches on a weekly basis.
An offer from an “influencer” to fill units… in exchange for free rent.
The power of selection and picking the right partnerships (the ultimate multiplier!).
The magic question Bryan asks immediately after every single acquisition. (This mindset and approach is one of his major keys to success!)

Being a real estate agent provides so many opportunities to create multiple income streams and grow wealth… as long as you have an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’. That’s not the norm though, so unfortately… most licensed agents never take advantage of the many avenues and opportunities available to them.

JP Dumlao, a top Canadian agent, is an exception to the rule. He’s built a thriving practice doing over 50 transactions per year… has built a team around him to systemize the process and free up his time… is involved in fix & flips… holds rentals for cash flow and long-term appreciation … and has even started his own gym for serious bodybuilders.

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

How a casual conversation on the beach “lit his torch”… and skyrocketed his real estate career.
The power of Association (the ultimate multiplier!)
The danger of being a “pop tart agent”… and how to fix it.
Tips and little-known strategieson how JP gets 95% of his business from referrals.
Shold you get a license before you invest in real estate?
Starting a gym… and how he grew to over 400 members – in spite of the pandemic!
Much, much more!

Bac is a Systems Engineer by day and a Real Estate entrepreneur by night (and some weekends as well!). He began investing in real estate in 2010, mainly focusing on acquisition of single-family homes with owner financing.

With the extensive training he’s invested in over the years, coupled with his engineering background & experience, he’s developed a “system” that allows him to review and analyze a potential note buy, and quickly determine the optimal price range to offer and the most ideal exit strategy to employ.

Bac has several rentals that he self-manages, an AirBNB property (also self-managed), and he’s also a prolific Note Investor, private money lender, and a licensed real estate agent in CA.

Here’s a sample of what we discuss:

The generals consensus seems to be that having some type of retirement plan in place is a wise move for just about any investor or entrepreneur. But that’s where the consensus ends.

Is an IRA the best option? Or does a 401(k) have more advantages?

And are there even better alternatives out there?

To shed some light, our guest expert Damion Lupo explains the differences between the various types of qualified retirment plans, and breaks down his own unique, trademarked product he calls an eQRP™.

Here’s what we discuss:

The differences between a self-directed IRA, solo 401(k), and Damion’s proprietary eQRP (which stands for ‘Enhanced Qualified Retirement Plan’)

The single greatest tax shelter in the entire U.S. tax code (allows you to eliminate taxes).
How former presidential candidate Mitt Romney built a $101M self-directed retirement plan.
The 2 types of investments where Damion’s clients are experiencing the most success.
How to eliminate the dreaded “UBIT Tax” levied on self-directed IRA’s.

More about Damion Lupo:

Damion is a four-time college dropout, and a serial entrepreneur who started his first business at age 11. Over the last quarter century he’s started and owned more than 50 different companies including an insurance agency, precious metals firms, a venture capital company, a coaching and consulting firm, and more than a dozen real estate investment and development companies.

He became a multimillionaire by age 25 and then lost his $20 Million empire by age 30. Five years later he was back, reinvented and recharged on a mission to “free a million people from financial bondage”.

He’s also the founder of Yokido ™, his own martial arts and holds 3 other black belts.

Currently, Damion spends his time teaching and lecturing on the art of Reinvention and the QRP with his unique teaching style focused on his personal life experiences and the process for developing consciousness and awareness to the truth.

If you were investing in real estate during The Great Recession, then you probably remember that most of the best deals during that time were either bank foreclosures or short sales.

Because they tend to escalate during economic downturns!

Most investors believe that Short Sales are only prevalent during recessions (which is generally the case), but our guest, David Randolph, never got the memo… so he continued buying (and making big profits from) Short Sales even as the economy got better and better.

In essence, he turned conventional wisdom on its ear and proved that Short Sales can actually be a lucrative investing strategy – in both good times and bad!

Here’s just a sample of what we dive into:

The 2 most important things to focus on in the Short Sale process – to create 6-figure paydays!
How to get started with Short Sales…. even while working a full-time job.
The biggest pond to go fishing for Short Sale buying opportunities in today’s market (where there’s 3x the inventory).
Where to get a list of Short Sale prospects… for less than 20¢ per contact.
The CORRECT definition of a short sale (just about everyone has this wrong!).
Biggest mistakes made by new short sale investors.
The power of “sequential marketing”… and why it’s one of the most powerful strategies you can employ.
Much, much more!

If you love systems, processes, and a step-by-step checklist approach to doing business… you’re gonna love David’s approach on how to capitalize big with Short Sales.

More about David Randolph:

David retired from a successful corporate job at age 42 to help homeschool his kids through high school. But after they went off to college with full-ride scholarships, David asked himself, what’s next?

On a whim, David and his wife attended a three-day real estate conference and everything changed - he was hooked, and became an avid student of real estate. He invested in courses, conferences, seminars, and more. But it wasn’t until he ﬁgured out he could ﬂip and sell houses that he saw everything click. He started making $30K proﬁt on a house, then $40K, then $60K and now David consistently makes $50K - $150K proﬁt in both rehabs and wholesales on houses.

Based on his success, he’s since shifted his focus and is now a Short Sale Coach, Rehab Educator as well as a Real Estate Investor.

Derek Alexandrenko has been a real estate investor for the past 18+ years and has been involved in a variety of investing strategies including house hacking, fix & flips, multifamily, build to rent, long-term rentals, and retail. These days, as a licensed general contractor and developer, his primary focus is on ground-up construction of single-family home communities built with the intent to rent rather than sell.

Derek began real estate investing in the early 2000s, purchasing his first property at the age of 19 while making $7/hour working at Home Depot. Three years later he graduated college owning three homes on the same street, plus a 27-unit apartment building.

From those humble beginnings, Derek discusses his journey, and how we as able to grow his real estate holdings to a portfolio valued at over $33M!

In this stimulating conversation, we discuss things like:

How he bought his first house with only $6k out of pocket… found a couple of roommates to rent out 2 of the bedrooms… and got to live in the home mortgage-free (that’s what we call “House Hacking” these days!).
Buying a 27-unit apartment building as a college student… the struggles he had with cash flow and making the mortgage payment… and how he still was able to make a 6-digit profit when he sold it (a testmament to the power of “timing” in the real estate game!).
Buying an existing property vs. new construction: Which is better? And the pro’s and cons of each.
What skills, approach, and mindset does it take to become a great builder or developer?
How he built a $33M real estate portfolio primarily using the BRRR Method. In case you’re not famillar with that, it stands for:

B = Buy

R = Rehab

R = Rent

R = Refinance

… and if you buy and rehab right, it’s a way to build up your portfolio and eventually end up with little to none of your own money in the deal (after you refinance).

What Derek would’ve done differently, or added, to grow even faster over the past 2 decades.
Keys to buying the “right” piece of land to build on.
Why Derek is so excited about developing Build-to-Rent Communities consisting of 100-200 homes… and why he considers this asset class the “crown jewel” of the real estate industry right now and for years to come.

You’ll enjoy Derek’s simple, low-key, and seemingly stress-free approach to winning BIG in the new construction game.

Kathleen Nguyen is a bit of “Renaissance Woman”, meaning she does a whole bunch of things… and seems to do most of them well. First and firstmost she’s a licensed Realtor, but she’s also a mortgage broker, real estate investor, commercial broker, note investor, private money lender, real estate investment club facilitator, and a prolific capital raiser. More importantly, she’s been able to turn all her different roles into multiple, ongoing income streams!

Many people become real estate agents because they believe it’s the ideal path to eventually becoming a real estate investor. The reality? Most never make the transition to investor because the mindset and strategies needed to be a successful investor are totally different from what’s typically taught to become a successful agent.

But Kathleen is a glowing testament that it can definitely be done. It just takes the right approach, the willingness to think creatively and out-of-the-box when necessary, being learning-oriented, and listening to the right people.

If you’re looking to create wealth and multiple income streams as a licensed real estate agent or broker, you’re about to discover specific strategies and a way of thinking that can virtually guarantee your success!

Don’t have a license… and don’t care to get one? You’ll still get a ton of value from the insights Kathleen shares on how anyone can start creating multiple streams of income.

In this episode, we talk to Dan Pate, a native of San Diego who’s been living in the St. Louis region since 2016. He’s been actively involved in the real estate industry for more than two decades in varying roles, including branch owner of a mortgage company, Realtor, rehabber, investor relations, and asset manager for a private equity real estate investment company.

We discuss his beginnings in real estate, how he discovered his knack for sales, and the rollercoaster ride he endured during the Great Recession. It was this tumultous time that created the opportunity for him to become an asset manager, which opened the door and enabled him to acquire a $60M batch of mortgage notes (promissory notes secured by real estate)… for less than 10 cents on the dollar!

Join us as we drill down with Dan, who spills the beans on how to buy mortgage notes at a steep discount, how to compete with and outsmart the big money guys, foreclosure buying secrets, due diligence tips, and the secrets to acquiring real estate assets at bargain basement prices.
