When you find yourself in the bottom, there is nowhere to else to go but up. Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider, the Founders of REI Blueprint, have been through this ordeal. With perseverance and a real passion for what they are doing, they managed to reinvent themselves and thrive. Jason and Rachel have always been passionate about real estate. In 2001, they opened a mortgage company and eventually built that business into a multimillion-dollar company where they closed over 3000 real estate transactions. When 2007 came, they were among the worst hit by the crash, losing millions of dollars in revenue for two and a half years. Failing to resuscitate a business that has already lost its relevance to the market, they turned their talents elsewhere – real estate investing, where they made good use of the strategies they honed over time to build a thriving business. Taking their talents even further, they are now teaching their strategies to other real estate investors through their coaching program. Listen in as they share some of their world-class REI tips on the show with Mitch Stephen.

While hard work is admirable, grinding 24/7 on your business is just not sustainable. If you want it to grow, you should start making it work without you before it burns you out. After all, one of the great indicators of a good business is its ability to function without your hands all over it. So how can you achieve that? Mitch Stephen brings over Brayand Ponciano, the owner of Together We Grow, whose amazing mindset drives him to make his business work hard without him. Brayand shares what that mindset is with us and how it works in this episode. He talks about why the hustle life is not always the way and why working smarter, not harder, puts you in a place of abundance. The universe is infinite, and there is just so much out there—deals, properties, other opportunities—that you have yet to achieve, so why put yourself in a place of scarcity, of mental torture? Brayand imparts this great lesson he learned across his entrepreneurial journey and asks you to start changing your mindset in a way that will best serve you and your business.

My name is Jay Conner…and let me tell you: I CAN RELATE to all these feelings and frustrations of losing out on so many deals. When I started out investing in Real Estate, I did it ALL THE WRONG WAY! Like so many other Real Estate Investors, I was taken to the slaughterhouse. I went to my local banker and was able to do a few deals…but you know what happened: I had to come up with Big Down Payments, pay origination fees, and most importantly…play by their rules. (Including signing personal guarantees on everything I owned.) I hated it. I felt owned by the bank, out of control, and stressed out.
So, I got some education and learned about buying properties “Subject-To,” Using Options, and buying with “Lease/Options.” These tools opened up my opportunities, but then The Hammer Came Down!!! When the market turned south big-time…my banker CUT ME OFF!!! With No Warning!!! I knew I had to find another way. I searched high and low for another system that would give me the funds I needed. Then I realized I needed to combine the best aspects of all that I researched. And that’s when I created the basis for this system. I kept refining it until I thought I had the best formula. Then I put it all together and made contact with my first prospect. I trusted my system and the very first person I approached gave me $250,000 in Private Money…and what blew me away was How Easy It Was!!!
Within a few, short months…I had $2,150,000 in Private Money!!! And that was just a couple of years ago…and it has ROCKED MY REAL ESTATE INVESTING CAREER! (My banker actually did me a HUGE FAVOR…I just didn’t know it at the time because that set-back forced me to create the system that would bring me lots of money Fast and Easy without relying on bankers or my credit.) The Massive Profits (7 Figures Per Year) I’ve been blessed to enjoy by creating and putting into action my “Where To Get The Money Now” System has without a doubt been my Biggest Quantum Leap since becoming a Real Estate Investor. And I live in a city with only 40,000 people.

Neither Andy Heller nor his real estate partner Scott Frank, ever intended to become full-time real estate investors. However, in their approximately 40 years of combined real estate investing, they have developed a long term real estate investing strategy that has allowed them to make loads of money while minimizing their time, effort and headaches.
On a part-time basis, while involved in successful non-real estate careers and putting their families first, Scott and Andy have bought, rented and sold approximately 100 homes. Additionally, in many years, they have made more money in their 2-5 hour a week “side real estate investing job” than in their 40+ hour per weekday job.
Over the years, Andy and Scott learned a lot. They eventually developed the “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” program, which is a grounded and realistic wealth generating method. You can use it to buy one home or dozens. Andy and Scott are living proof that it can be done, and it does not take a lot of money or a lot of time….just the desire to make it happen.
In 2005, FORTUNE MAGAZINE recognized the “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” program among the top five real estate wealth building strategies. After the Fortune recognition, requests came in for Andy and Scott to speak and teach others what they have learned during their real estate investing career. Shortly thereafter Andy and Scott formed their educational company called “Regular Riches”. Andy and Scott selected the name “Regular Riches” to show that “regular guys” and “regular gals” just like them can achieve real estate riches.
Andy was born in Canada, raised in Florida, has lived for many years in Georgia and California, and has studied real estate markets throughout North America. He has helped countless people in their efforts to realize their dreams, and he is ready to share his knowledge to simply and easily put you on the road to financial freedom.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why Andy calls himself an “accidental investor”, and how he has structured his business model Why they key to Andy’s REO (real estate owned) model lies in timing and in tracking pre-foreclosures as early as possible Why Andy sticks exclusively to post-foreclosure, and why he prefers to deal with the banks directly What Andy does with the REO properties once he has successfully purchased them, and why he likes lease options Which circumstances cause Andy to wholesale a property rather than deciding to lease it Why buying foreclosure properties from banks can help you develop a working relationship with them Why buying from banks should be considered an integral part of any wholesaling business How to get an exceptional deal on Andy’s three-part course, normally selling for almost $2000 Why there is certain to be another recession in the future, and why preparation will help you survive it Why you need to have a business model ready now, so that when the market inevitably softens you’re in a good position Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/RegularRiches REInvestorSummit.com/Livecomm REInvestorSummit.com/Machine REInvestorSummit.com/aof REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why George chose to write his three bestselling financing books to help investors use the financial system Why George developed “hacking finance” to turn the system around and make it work FOR you instead of against you Examples of hacking strategies, like using your HELOC to pay your bills or using a 30-year mortgage to build wealth How inflation can make your mortgage beneficial to keep, rather than paying it off early Why seeing your money differently can help you build wealth without the risk of investment How using a primary “sweep account” for all your expenses can save you money What a “loan constant” is, how banks use it to shift risk to the borrower, and how to turn it to your favor Why growing wealth isn’t just about moving forward, it’s about moving forward faster than the financial system Three things you should be aware of that affect all real estate deals, and why they matter to investors more than anyone else Why making money in real estate is really more about finances than buying and selling a property Why you should be using George’s money strategies now, rather than wishing you had in retirement Why the traditional financial system has taught us all to think inside the box, and why looking at things differently can be life changing Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/hackingfinance REInvestorSummit.com/TaxFreeFuture REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/PATLive REInvestorSummit.com/coaching REInvestorSummit.com/aof
Josh Elledge is an adult man with a child-like, irrational fear of umbrellas. You could ask him to explain–but if he could–it wouldn’t be an irrational fear, now would it? A nice midwestern boy from Michigan, Josh also used to be fat. Not just chubby, or the owner of a now-trendy “dad bod,” but seriously overweight (ask to see his old drivers’ license photo). Ever the problem solver, he lost 55 lbs through ‘the couponing diet’ and now he enjoys going to restaurants that serve chicken waffles and biscuits, and ordering the salad. Just to test his mental toughness.
Josh is a serial entrepreneur who builds the companies he needs most in the world. In 2014, He launched UpMyInfluence (previously upendPR) to help entrepreneurs like himself attract the perfect audiences and grow their brands without the crazy costs and contracts associated with traditional PR companies. Since then, UpMyInfluence (UMI) has evolved into a purpose-driven platform bent on totally DEMOCRATIZING access to influence. Josh wholeheartedly believes UMI has a moral imperative to help entrepreneurs own their expertise, share their wisdom, and serve the world with their collective messages. Oh, and to help our members grow revenue too!
UMI was the natural outgrowth of his first startup, SavingsAngel.com. Josh founded the consumer savings platform in 2007 to bring in what he most needed at the time (namely, more money). Armed with a background in information technology and Internet development, Josh’s technologic tinkering cut his family-of-five’s monthly grocery bill by half and created the most comprehensive coupon and sale-matching service available. SavingsAngel.com soon become a major operation employing up to 50 employees and grossing more than $6 million in sales with less than $500 in advertising spent.
When other entrepreneurs began knocking on his door desperate for the magic formula that would bring similar success, his new mission in life was born! Today, Josh is known as one of the foremost experts in online influence and authority. He’s personally worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs – working to turn them into media celebrities.
Never shy in front of an audience, Josh is a frequent speaker at business and startup conferences including Social Media Marketing World and a Tony Robbins event for his Business Mastery grads. He’s appeared as an electrifying podcast guest more than 100 times. He’s a weekly consumer expert on Fox 35 Orlando and News 13, writes a syndicated column for nine newspapers (with total readership above 1.1 million readers), and regularly appears on more than 75 TV stations across the country. All told, Josh has appeared in the media more than 2000 times.
Passionate about his family, physical fitness (an avid fitness geek and 5K to marathon runner), and breaking out of Escape Rooms, Josh now lives in Orlando with his wife and three children.
The Michigan native’s exuberance and natural curiosity have fueled his life’s work as a journalist, technology specialist, entrepreneur and service-oriented family man. Josh served in the US Navy and earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in family science/therapy from Brigham Young University.

An internationally bestselling author by the age of 10, Truth’s investor students of his Truth Success Series, an online mastermind course, include adults who want to soak up his wisdom.

His mom took an investing class; Truth soaked it all in, and a bonafide investor (whose Mom still needs to make his actual trades for him) was born.
He’s been featured on ABC, NBC, FOX News, CBS, Black Enterprise, Huffington Post, and Inc Magazine!

David Lecko is the CEO of DealMachine — a real estate investing app that puts you in touch with any property owner via direct mail, phone, and email. Next time you are out and about and you see a house that looks abandoned or interesting, simply take a picture of it with the DealMachine App to instantly see who owns it. Then choose your contact method and get in touch with the owner and offer to buy it. DealMachine launched in the summer of 2017, and users report making as much as $25,000 over the last 4 months by looking for houses on their commutes that appear run down and contacting the owner via dealmachine and then selling the properties to an investor. Since using DealMachine at least one user has quit his job with the income earned from using DealMachine.

Garrett Gunderson is called a “financial genius” in entrepreneurial circles, but he wasn’t born with a silver spoon. In fact, Garrett’s blue-collar roots are what make him so passionate about helping entrepreneurs build Economic Independence.
Garrett comes from a fourth generation coal mining family, raised in rural Utah. His great-grandfather left San Giovanni, Italy in 1913 to escape government corruption and excessive taxation. He came to America and was separated from his family for 7 years, living in a tent so he could build a better life for his family.
Garrett’s approach to personal finance is firmly rooted in this history. His company, Wealth Factory, helps self-made business owners and entrepreneurs who understand hard work — but who haven’t been given the proper financial tools to build lasting wealth. Because even though Garrett’s great-grandfather understood the value of hard work, he never got to enjoy it. And without proper structures, hard work is like eating soup with a fork. You keep busy, but stay hungry.
So Garrett imagined his great-grandfather was his client. How could he have helped him grow his wealth faster? And with that thought in mind, he built the kind of company that would have helped his great-grandfather build Economic Independence in 3-7 years instead of taking three generations to break the cycle of scarcity.
The process Wealth Factory uses to help you is simple. First, they recover leaking money that’s rightfully yours. Next they connect you with experts who create a framework that preserves, protects and grows your money. And finally they build structures that help you live wealthy now while creating a lasting family legacy.
This family legacy — and the burning desire to pass on what he’s learned to his children — are what drive Garrett to help others. He now spends his time innovating new financial tools and technologies that help small business owners and entrepreneurs like you build lasting wealth, live the life you love, and pass on a lasting family legacy of your own. He believes your legacy is defined not just by money, but by the values and contribution you pass along.
Garrett lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, two children and a dog. When he’s not traveling, speaking, or spending time with his family, Garrett enjoys Crossfit, eats Paleo and makes people laugh at local stand up comedy clubs.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
How Garrett started his first business at 15 years old and how it kick-started his financial education
Why finding a good mentor and continuing your financial learning is critical for success
Why it’s important to save as much money as possible on taxes and to have a new tax professional review your tax returns every three years
How to build an effective tax team with four key people who can save you money and why you should meet with them quarterly
Which questions you should be regularly asking the professionals on your tax team to turn expenses into deductions
Why thinking outside the box and using the reclassification of income can find tax deductions you might have missed and save you money
Examples of finding unconventional ways to get tax credits through the purchase and donation of artwork and historical building easements
How to get a free copy of Garrett’s book “What Would The Rockefellers Do?”
Why hiring a good team of tax professionals will more than pay for itself and shouldn’t be considered an expense
Garrett’s advice for new entrepreneurs for keeping more of your money in your pocket

Their company, Independence Day, Inc., has bought and sold over 1,500 properties in and about San Antonio, Tx since 1996. This company specializes in buying distressed properties with OPM and the selling of those owner financed properties.

Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.
The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline your selling process.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why many investors tend to blow off leads that they don’t think are valuable to themselves, though they could still be valuable to someone Why real estate is often about limiting the amount of liability and responsibilities and why just buying and selling is often the best strategy The reason some people prefer to buy “slum” houses and some people prefer to buy high-end luxury houses Foreclosures, tax liens, and other encumbrances: why these may make properties less attractive to you, but still attractive to someone Why Mitch deals with both primary leads — his own leads — and secondary leads, which others may be interested in How undesirable leads can still be followed up with low offers and turned into other leads, if someone else is interested in them Mitch’s sequence of lists he can use to forward leads to, in the event a property isn’t to his liking Mitch’s mentorship, which focuses on not fitting a square peg into a round hole How through mentorship, people can be challenged and grow in business, with external forces supporting and guiding them Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/privatelenders REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing REInvestorSummit.com/Grow REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Michael Quarles started as an Entrepreneur when he was an adult teenager, buying an R2 lot and constructing a duplex. He didn’t know what the heck he was doing; all he knew was that he wanted to. He had an “S” on his chest mentality, which helped push him through the many unknown battles of real estate.
Since that day, Michael has been involved with hundreds and hundreds of real estate deals. In 1991, he obtained his general building contractors license, building over 70 single family home and multifamily units from the ground up. In 2006, he was proud to obtain his broker’s license.
After doing hundreds of deals on purpose and thru systemization, several people asked Michael how he did as many deals as he did. His answer then remains the same as it is now: it was a matter of marketing, understanding negotiation, and respecting systems.
Subsequently, Michael began helping new and seasoned investors jumpstart their marketing and their careers through a variety of the businesses that he runs today, including, YellowLetters.com, Buy Sell Fix Flip Academy, 1800Sell4Cash, Call Text Technologies, Inc., Print Centers, Alex/Ryan Call Center, and The Michael Quarles Real Estate Show.
During his career as an entrepreneur, Michael has come to realize that the difference between success and failure is our belief and understanding of the words Help, Want and Need and how those three words keep us from finding success.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Michael began his career as an entrepreneur in his late teens and found success in multiple industries Why Michael believes in “making money for people he hasn’t met yet” Whole-tailing, and how it is one of the keys to real estate profits with minimal effort Michael’s “Alex Ryan Angel” call center and how it works in the background to make him money How Michael’s coaching programs work and how to get participate in his programs How Michael uses modern real estate technology to locate and complete deals all over the country Why effective scripts can push sellers to sell houses at the terms Michael requires Why Michael believes in hiring a team of ordinary people using his extraordinary system rather than hiring extraordinary people How Michael uses cluster marketing to attract as many sellers as possible using varied marketing methods Why entrepreneurs should always be looking to work on and improve their businesses to adapt to the changing market Why Michael has stopped using the words need, want, hope, and wish in his life and replaced them with the word require Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/Quarles REInvestorSummit.com/live REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/aof REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Later in his career, David served as the regional manager for Koll/Rubloff/CBRE and had direct responsibility over a large, diverse portfolio in San Antonio, Austin, Abilene and Midland. He also was a senior vice president at the Trammell Crow Company where he led the brokerage and property management teams in the office and industrial arenas.

A native of San Antonio, David and his family are active and highly respected in the community. His work ethic, communications skills and integrity are the key reasons clients rely on David and return to him whenever a need arises.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: How David “fell into” real estate and why it’s important to seize the opportunity when it presents itself Why flexibility — being able to roll with the punches and evolve as the markets change — is so crucial for a business in real estate development Going from employee to entrepreneur and taking the leap of faith from one of the top people for a large real estate organization with the security it provides into the unknown Why it’s not only important to have a partner but to have one that complements you so that you might usually be on the same page, but approach challenges from different vantage points, bringing different insights into the discussion Why David surrounds himself with outstanding people, personally and professionally, and what it has meant for his personal and professional growth What David finds most and least fulfilling about being the man in charge as an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and business owner The role David’s faith plays in how he approaches and does business and how from a servant’s heart to Biblical principles, David’s faith is front and center in the way he works Why David believes he should always leave enough money on the table in a transaction that someone else can make money on the deal Why sometimes good enough really is good enough and why it’s sometimes better to take your win and leave something on the table for the next person The importance of knowing when to seek the expertise of someone else and why David believes it has been instrumental for his success Why David believes taking action and not just thinking about making deals is what sets apart real estate investing success stories from so many would-be investors Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/Everywhere REInvestorSummit.com/Machine REInvestorSummit.com/privatelenders REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/Coaching
Brandon Gaunce was notified in November of 2013 that his corporate job position was being eliminated and his options included relocating within the US or taking a demotion to stay in his hometown and face a 2-hour one-way commute to and from work daily and he needed to decide by May of 2014.
During that time, he met Mitch Stephen who expressed with empathy that there could be another option if he was willing to be a good student and put in lots and lots of effort! Brandon chose this option and became a student of Mitch’s while taking on a part-time job to help ease the transition.
2014 was a tough year, but Brandon and his family made it through successfully by doing just 3 deals and now, a short 4 years later, Brandon has carved out his own little niche in real estate. Coupled with Mitch’s Owner Finance Model, Brandon is averaging 40-50 property acquisitions per year and has an annual income 4 times that of his previous corporate job and a net worth of close to 1 million dollars. He is forever grateful that God put Mitch in his life and doesn’t know where he would be today otherwise!
What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Brandon went from earning $70,000 plus bonuses annually in corporate America to a net worth of more than $680,000 in his third year as a real estate investor earning more than $300,000 that year alone The shocking thing about the way Brandon made his money as a real estate investor (hint: it wasn’t in large cities) Brandon’s affection for ugly properties and how those ugly houses, mobile homes, and unimproved lots can earn very pretty money How realtors are leaving money on the table by not taking on these types of houses and presenting them to investors and other potentially interested parties Why Mitch suggests Brandon think twice about bringing his wife into the business Working through the lows to come out on top How sometimes the highs and the lows in real estate and any other investing come in the same month, nearly at the same time Brandon’s business high moment and Mitch’s role in that special moment How Brandon is able to have a closing rate of nearly 80 percent Why tenacity is one of Brandon’s greatest assets Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/privatelenders REInvestorSummit.com/privatemoney REInvestorSummit.com/Everywhere REInvestorSummit.com/Livecomm REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Patrick Mahaffey spent the better part of seven years at Texas A&M University getting two different engineering degrees. After putting his time in, he started his engineering career and eventually made his way to the oil patch in South Texas. During his move from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, oil prices started declining and work was slowing down. Luckily one of Patrick’s best friends from college, Mike Powell, had already been settled into San Antonio and was earning his stripes in the investment real estate arena, buying up as much as possible. Since he had enough time to kill in between jobs, Patrick asked if he could ride around town with him and see what this “house buying” gig was all about. Not knowing a THING about real estate (much less buying houses with cash, at a discount) he was confused but certainly intrigued! After countless questions over drinks, and eventually working his way to writing up a proper contract, it felt like something fun to do in his spare time.
With time passing and no positive correspondence from the engineering firms in town (mostly since Patrick was being difficult with his requests), he was asked to take up the real estate game full time. Since he’s about as analytical as they come, there weren’t enough books for him to read to understand this concept, and he certainly struggled with some of the simplest fundamentals, but he found my way to slowly buying a house or two, here and there.
Three years flew by and Patrick is working on holding onto his own notes for owner financing, and the lessons have been invaluable. It’s tough to measure the amount he’s learned in that time, since none of it would’ve ever ended up on my plate if he had continued the standard path of corporate life with a nine-to-five J-O-B. The business, financial, entrepreneurial, and general real estate knowledge/experience are tough to replace at this point.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Patrick’s start in real estate investing that began when he got in touch with Mike, his college friend and Mitch’s business partner His experience in professional house finding for 3 years How in the next 12 months, Patrick expects to make $110,000 or $120,000, although it could be much higher than that How he made about $40,000 in his first year and about $65,000 in his second year Why there’s no cap in how much money can be made in this business Generating prospects by driving around looking for clues that people may want to sell their houses The benefit of keeping detailed notes on all current and previous prospects and why sticking with it pays off A great skip tracing software resource that Patrick loves to use in his business Why Patrick expects to complete 40 to 45 deals on houses in 2018 The skill involved in talking with prospects and why Patrick tailors what he says based on each person he’s talking with How to get people to talk to you when they don’t want to How many phone calls Patrick believes you should make each day Using VAs to help make phone calls How Patrick has seen an average profit of $3,000 to $5,000 per house Patrick’s advice for entrepreneurs: be patient and work hard Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/privatelenders REInvestorSummit.com/Machine REInvestorSummit.com/Capital REInvestorSummit.com/aof REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

In his first year he studied the gurus of the day, modified their action plans for his market, and began his journey of buying and selling residential houses.

What you’ll learn about in this episode: How a chance meeting, being at the right place at the right time, helped to forge a friendship and business partnership that has been profitable and personally rewarding An inventive form of flipping involving buying a property, selling it via owner financing, selling the note, and cashing out of the property and how Mitch and Sam got the idea for this type of “flipping” How inventing ways to solve problems can also lead to highly profitable business solutions The amount of money they walked away with that year and the life altering question, “what next?” The important role of education for real estate investing and the various ways you can get the education on the Internet – meaning you can do it on your own time – while still bringing home a paycheck to make your initial investments How one investment in his education changed the course of his career Why Sam believes that formal education isn’t always the key as long as you continue to learn through seminars, podcasts, webinars, courses, books, etc. The one thing that is even more critical for success in real estate than constant education The fact that when you’re excited to get up and rolling with your day, it doesn’t feel like work or a daily grind How knowing the way to build a successful business starting with nothing to invest means you can do it again and again – no need to stress over losing money today when you can make more tomorrow The incredible value of a rinse and repeat system that allows you to essentially print your own money The business model for real estate that weathers bubbles, bank collapses, and other storms that break businesses built on traditional real estate investing models Why real estate investors who work with owner/seller financing are the last ones standing when disasters in the real estate market take place Why Sam prefers to work in working class neighborhoods rather than fancier, luxury, or high-end housing Sam’s advice to young, new investors Sam’s greatest challenge in building a solid real estate empire that creates enough passive income for him to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in the Caribbean while working remotely Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/privatelenders REInvestorSummit.com/privatemoney REInvestorSummit.com/Capital REInvestorSummit.com/Sly REInvestorSummit.com/aof REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Mitch Stephen has been a self-employed RE investor for 20+ years. His real estate investing career started at the age of 23 when he read “Nothing Down” by Robert Allen.
REAL ESTATE INVESTOR: Mitch, together with his wife, Tommi, and his daughter, Shannon purchased their fair share of local houses. Their company, Independence Day, Inc., has bought and sold over 1,500 properties in and about San Antonio, Tx since 1996. This company specializes in buying distressed properties with OPM and the selling of those owner financed properties.
AUTHOR:
Mitch is the author 3 books:
MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES:
Failing Forward to Financial Freedom
MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES:
200+ Ways to Find Bargain Properties
My Life & 1,000 Houses
The Art of Owner Financing
For more info about these books go to http://1000houses.com/the-book/
EDUCATOR:
Mitch offers Online Education, Group Coaching, and one-on-one Mentorships as it relates to all the aspects of Owner Financing and owner financed properties.
Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.
The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline your selling process.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
How writing a book might help you launch your career, cultivate leads, and build a stronger presence in your industry
How writing a book has helped Mitch develop as an entrepreneur
Things you can do to get through the writing process, get your book published, and help promote your book once you’ve become a published writer
Why books aren’t all that profitable for entrepreneurs – at least not directly, but how they can help potential customers and business partners get to know you
The ways you can be consistent from one book to the next to generate recognition
Why you don’t necessarily need to have a specific purpose for writing that first book (in fact, it may be more about you than the potential audience and that’s okay too)
How the honesty of Mitch’s book is what really resonated with readers and what allows them to relate to him as a person and not just as an investor or potential business partner
Why your book doesn’t need to be pretty – as long as it is the truth – especially if it’s the unvarnished truth
How the first book often leads to the second book – almost without you ever intending to write another one
And the third
The fact that writing a book presents you as an authority on the topic and why that is very good for your business
The reason you need to write your book and not hire someone to ghostwrite it for you
How to use your book to generate leads for your business – and how Mitch does it quite successfully

Connor Steinbrook was a top online poker player from 2003-2011, and in 2011, on April 15th, the government shut down the websites and he lost almost a decade of his life overnight. Nobody wanted to hire what they thought was an ex-gambler so he quickly realized he had to create a job for himself. He tried insurance and network marketing and found himself into real estate. It was a rough start — he ended up facing bankruptcy with $65,000 in debt. He figured out how to do deals using a joint venture wholesaling strategy where he never meets the seller or buyer, doesn’t put up earnest money or option money directly and doesn’t go to closings — he does everything virtually. He went from JV wholesaling to regular wholesaling, into flipping houses retail and becoming financeable, and then began to keep houses and do some owner financing and creating notes. He then created Investor Army to teach new investors how to duplicate what he did even if they have no money….being this is the biggest handicap for new investors.

For the last 15 years, Pat Dornan has been a Maryland licensed general contractor. He is also a MD registered home builder, Project Management Professional (PMP), and is EPA-certified for safe lead removal. He bought his first investment property in 2006 and has been a full-time investor for 4 years. Prior to that, Pat was an IT professional for 23 years where he invented the Internet (with 600,000 of his friends).
In January 2017, Pat founded Serenity Software, Inc. and created Ultimate Rehab Estimator to meet a need he saw every day. Investors need to know what to look for and what the repairs/improvements to a property will cost. Contractors simply cannot go to every property with them and do estimates on each one, knowing only 1 in 50 might be closed upon. The investor is on his/her own. Well, they used to be!
All a buyer has to do is measure – exterior or interior and tell the app what they want to do. Repair, replace, build, paint, whatever. Ultimate Rehab Estimator does all of the math, produces a Statement of Work, Bill of Materials, and has a Deal Analyzer to help the investor decide if they might make a profit.

As the owner of Rehabs 2 Riches, Alton Jones has spent his life making connections. Right out of high school, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department and became a police officer. During that time, he had a lot of interesting experiences and met a variety of fascinating people. Now, 30 years later, he’s still a reserve officer.
In 1996, Alton joined Primerica Financial Services and became a licensed life insurance agent, eventually rising to the position of Regional Vice-President. A few years later, things changed. He saw families and good people experiencing tough times due to a bad economy and a terrible real estate market. If things had been a little different, it could have been Alton and his family in the same situation. He knew he wanted to help somehow, to give back. That’s what motivated him to earn his real estate license and establish West Coast Home Buyers, LLC., purchasing and remodeling homes to make them affordable for local homebuyers.
Working alongside his mentor, the legendary Ron LeGrand, 14 years of real estate experience taught Alton two things. First, rehabbing homes is a way to help others, giving them a chance to buy beautiful and secure homes. Second, by working hard and working smart, rehabbing can be highly profitable. These lessons led him to develop Rehabs 2 Riches, a series of courses and books designed to teach anyone how to seize the financial opportunity for themselves.

Keith Baker began painting houses in high school and worked construction through college, renovating houses in addition to performing rental make readies and rehabbing flips for investors while earning a degree in Philosophy and German. He never took a class in real estate, finance, accounting or business. Everything he’s learned about business, real estate, and lending has been through practical experience: successes and failures.
He started his own construction/general contractor company after college. After closing his contractor business, Keith worked as a Construction Manager at McGuyer Home Builders (Pioneer and Plantation Homes). When the housing market peaked and began to crumble, he jumped head first into a field position with an oilfield service provider: Schlumberger and then parlayed my oilfield knowledge into a career as an energy loss adjuster.
When Keith decided to invest in real estate, he hadn’t yet developed the confidence to speak to sellers, so he bought his first investment property from his parents, just to get things moving. He and his wife then house hacked their way through their starter home, which we slowly flipped for a nice profit. Then Keith decided it was time to become a landlord, which was a painful experience.
Because he travels so much for a day job that he actually enjoys, Keith converted an old 401(k) into a self-directed IRA (with Quest IRA) and began private lending to local real estate investors to keep himself in the real estate investing loop, close to the action, and to expand his network. Through private lending he bought my first rental property from a potential borrower and met his partner, Landon. Together he and Landon formed Asset REI, which focuses on providing owner financing for both buyers and properties that are neglected and overlooked by the conventional “too big to fail banks.” Thus they become the bank!

Brandon Gaunce was notified in November of 2013 that his corporate job position was being eliminated and his options included relocating within the US or taking a demotion to stay in his hometown and face a 2 hour one way commute to and from work daily and he needed to decide by May of 2014.
During that time, he met Mitch Stephen who expressed with empathy that there could be another option if he was willing to be a good student and put in lots and lots of effort! Brandon chose this option and became a student of Mitch’s while taking on a part time job to help ease the transition.
2014 was a tough year, but Brandon and his family made it through successfully by doing just 3 deals and now, a short 3 years later, Brandon has carved out his own little niche in real estate.

Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.
The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline your selling process.

Larry Higgins is a real estate investor based out of Houston, TX. After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2003 he began his career in construction project management which he thoroughly enjoyed until 2013 when for the first time in his life, he found himself in a job from which he got no sense of satisfaction and decided he needed to make a change. That’s when he decided it was time to quit and jump into real estate full time although he had zero experience in it and had never even done a deal.
Fortunately, during this transition, Larry stumbled across Mitch Stephen, whose mentorship helped him hit the ground running.
Like so many other investors have experienced before he knew it, Larry had a huge stack of returned mail from his mail campaigns and he knew he needed to do something with it. After getting in touch with several skip trace services he realized how expensive it can be to skip trace so he decided to learn how to become his own skip tracer. Two deals later and he fully realized how crucial it is to be able to skip trace returned mail.
But it wasn’t just the returned mail that got Larry’s attention. As he worked his business he couldn’t help but notice that some letters weren’t returned for weeks, months, or even years (yes years) after they were initially mailed.
He also witnessed first-hand how in most cases where his mail was received and he happened to get an appointment, it had a lot to do with luck in what he calls the yellow letter lottery. This is where the seller has received a stack of mail from other investors and the seller decides to pick just two or three people to call and get offers. No matter how great you think your mailing list is, if you’re in a larger market, the odds are there’s at least a dozen if not dozens of other investors mailing the same people.
So with a keen understanding that he was losing valuable time and leaving too much to chance with mailing, he knew he needed to create a system that allowed him to skip trace high volumes of people or lists and then call or text them. In another stroke of luck, Larry had just started partnering with Will Denker, an established and successful investor in Houston. With their combined knowledge and experience, and the great team Will already had assembled, they were able to create the system they envisioned.
Now that they have created this system they no longer do mail campaigns and they rely strictly on skip tracing lists of potentially motivated sellers and contacting them via phone calls or text messages and it’s transformed their business. The ability to skip trace high volumes of people in a cost-effective manner has not only given them the ability to find and call or text the potential sellers, but it allows them to scan the lists and identify great deals that are flying under every other investor’s radar. The bottom line result is that they are more successful at getting deals and the deals are much more profitable. After first implementing their system their average assignment fee grew from $10,000 to $22,000 and then after becoming much more targeted they doubled it again to their current average assignment fee of $44,000.
Because they now have their strategy defined and much more targeted, Larry and Will recently decided to create skipgenie.com to begin sharing their high-volume skip trace system with other investors in various markets around the country, and helping them develop and tailor a system around their specific goals.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
How skip tracing compares to mail
How your cost-per-buy is dramatically lower with skip tracing
Why you should not be using lower-tiered skip tracing services
One issue with skip tracing that a lot of people complain about
Why you shouldn’t hesitate to contact relatives if you if you have good leads, especially with vacant properties
Why every deal you do should involve skip tracing
Why you should focus on being more targeted whether you’re mailing or calling
How to get a tighter ratio of leads to deals
The best way to get your footing when you’re just starting out

Connor Steinbrook was a top online poker player from 2003-2011, and in 2011, on April 15th, the government shut down the websites and he lost almost a decade of his life overnight. Nobody wanted to hire what they thought was an ex-gambler so he quickly realized he had to create a job for himself. He tried insurance and network marketing and found himself into real estate. It was a rough start — he ended up facing bankruptcy with $65,000 in debt. He figured out how to do deals using a joint venture wholesaling strategy where he never meets the seller or buyer, doesn’t put up earnest money or option money directly and doesn’t go to closings — he does everything virtually. He went from JV wholesaling to regular wholesaling, into flipping houses retail and becoming financeable, and then began to keep houses and do some owner financing and creating notes. He then created Investor Army to teach new investors how to duplicate what he did even if they have no money….being this is the biggest handicap for new investors.

After Lee developed his highly acclaimed Foreclosure and Short Sale Courses, he began to speak all over the country on these two profitable strategies. In all of his travels, he was constantly bombarded by the same question, “Where do I get the money”? Tired of seeing dreams dashed over something so simple, Lee immediately set out to create the most comprehensive curriculum on the subject of Private Money ever compiled in one place.
Recently featured in Forbes, the Boston Globe, Market Watch, Reuters, and Businessweek as a leading investment strategy expert and as a consultant to Donald Trump’s “Trump University”, Lee Arnold has built a personal fortune with private and hard money transactions. As a Real Estate Broker and Lender of both Private and Hard Money, Lee Arnold has helped countless people in the United States and Canada successfully and lucratively obtain the capital they need to be successful in real estate investment. A master at networking, Lee connects investors to lenders from all over the United States and Canada.
Lee created The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing to teach clients how to translate workbook education and real estate theory into the real world of real estate investment success. However, after years of teaching and mentoring around the nation, he found that education doesn’t mean a lick if the person being taught doesn’t have the capital to put their knowledge into genuine action. Lee already had access to capital, but his students didn’t.
So, Lee took the challenge and created Cogo Capital®, where real estate investors could go for unlimited funds for their non-owner occupied investments. Since then, Lee has been involved in over 1 Billion Dollars-worth of real estate deals with clients.
While the progression seemed natural, they were missing one, very large and essential piece of the pie. The marketplace was teeming with people who had the funds, who aspired to make higher returns on their invested dollar but lacked the desire to get involved in real estate at the ground level.
In light of this opportunity came Secured Investment Corp, which gave people the training they needed to safely lend on first trust liens (real estate), and make higher returns than they were currently seeing in their stock market, bank CDs, or bond investments. As they combined all these facets—training, funding, and the education to lend on real property—they began to notice a progressing trend of growth and success with the clients involved.
Through this model, what they call “The Circle of Wealth,” they noticed that people who entered in at the training level and borrowed funds for their real estate investments eventually became lenders in their own right. They then helped others obtain the capital needed to grow their real estate portfolios. This allowed everyone, on every side, to succeed.
It is their goal that everyone can enjoy some level of success in The Circle of Wealth, and inevitably lap it several times over.

Loral Langemeier is a true American success story. She did not start out life with money or connections. Rather than realize her obstacles in life, she focused on the possibilities. By age 17, Loral built her first business, a health-training company.
At age 19, while paying her own way through college, Loral created a business specializing in corporate wellness and human performance. As a personal trainer and aerobics instructor, she taught 16 to 18 hours a week, while earning a double degree and playing basketball for her college team.
Loral graduated from the Wesleyan University of Nebraska with Bachelor degrees in Business Administration and Finance, followed by a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Following graduation, Loral contracted with Chevron to teach health, fitness, and nutrition to workers on oil rigs off the coast of New Orleans. At 24, she entered a new contract with Chevron to build over 200 fitness centers on offshore rigs and partnered with a professor of engineering and a team of students at Louisiana State University.
Loral rose to a senior-level position with Fortune 500 Company Chevron in San Francisco and spent five years in corporate America. While continuing her own businesses on the side, Loral developed her secret formula of the wealthy: to manage and build a portfolio to create even greater wealth.
After meeting Robert Kiyosaki in San Francisco (before his Rich Dad, Poor Dad series), Loral created the distribution system of his financial board game Cashflow as a teaching tool for those who want to go back into entrepreneurialism. She approached Kiyosaki about helping expand his cash-flow game and worked with him as a Master Distributor until 2001.
Pursuing her lifelong plan to be a millionaire by age 35, Loral reached that goal two weeks shy of her 34th birthday, while getting ready to be a single mom. Her portfolio at that time contained Real Estate properties, businesses, gas/oil, and notes.

When Dixie Decker was 18 she bought her first house and rented two of its rooms to her friends, meaning she didn’t have to pay a dime for housing during college. Later, she got married, had two beautiful kids, became a mortgage broker and a realtor, and then the 2008 market crashed in both industries, bringing her 10-year marriage down with it. She had to file for bankruptcy because her husband had secretly opened $100,000 worth of credit cards. Working three jobs just to stay afloat, she missed her two girls at home who she had to care for alone. She needed freedom and hated not chasing her dreams!
After two years in corporate America, she ran into her middle school best friend and he brought her in on a new student housing business. When her mentor gave her a unique buying method where she could use other people’s money and credit, they very quickly had six rehab projects going on which they rented as off-campus student housing.
In addition to creating a niche market, Dixie and her business partner revolutionized the profit making potential of rental properties. Using per-room rental rates, they were able to collect multiple checks from one house, while the neighboring landlords collect one. An incredible benefit this provides is they can pay close to market value when buying and then have cash flow that is double and sometimes triple the average investor’s single family rental cash flow. By using lease options she learned her business could do many more rehab projects simultaneously and start earning more money faster.
In just three years Dixie has raised over $5 million in private money. Because of the systems she has in place, her business runs on auto-pilot and, most importantly, she collects over 152 checks each month in the mailbox and has over 40 golden geese with none of her own money in any deal.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: A real estate investing niche that can be incredibly profitable Starting out in real estate even when you have very little funds Doing student housing the right way to protect your investment Strategies that you can use to invest with incredible profits Making the offer to potential private investors in a way that makes them feel safe How to structure a student rental business in a way that makes sense What college student renters are looking for in the modern market Using parental involvement to protect your investments in student rentals Protecting yourself and your investors while operating a rental business Why per-room rental rates are better for you and your renters Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/live REInvestorSummit.com/Grow REInvestorsummit.com/Pro REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/100

Ron LeGrand is from humble beginnings, a former auto-mechanic who couldn’t even make ends meet working overtime. He’ll never forget telling his wife again and again that they couldn’t afford a new washing machine when their old one broke. Today, they live in a 7,000 square foot home in Florida. He’s bought and sold over 3,000 homes and commercial properties all over America (using the same System he’ll give you) and he has thousands of people he’s helped and is currently helping to achieve their grandest goals. Here’s his story…
Ron’s been buying “quick-turning” for cash and keeping as investment houses as an independent investor and entrepreneur for 35 years. You can’t do that by random. You can’t do it “hit or miss” or you’d be broke, and he’s not; he’s quite rich. That’s because he has an actual SYSTEM for this that anybody can follow. And just about all business success and wealth is based on SYSTEMS. McDonald’s has a System for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a System for efficiently transporting passengers. “Old” wealth, like the Ford family’s, came from the Systems of assembly-line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. “New” wealth, like the Walton’s family’s, came from the Wal-Mart Systems for regional warehousing and distribution and controlling costs. In your job or business, you undoubtedly have Systems.
Ron has a System for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing certain very specific types of real estate, in some cases to quickly resell one of several ways for immediate cash profits; in other cases, to hold onto, without landlord headaches. His System can be your System – without the years of trial-and-error and expense that went into perfecting it…
In 1982, he was married, working as a car mechanic, with no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, constantly telling his wife and kids “no” and feeling terrible about it. He was 35 years old, bankrupt, married for 17 years, with 4 kids, and clueless about what he wanted to do with my life – although he was pretty sure I didn’t want to fix cars in the hot Florida sun. Sometimes, even a good business providing a good income still feels like a bad job.
Ron talks with a lot of doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance sales agents, mortgage brokers who were doing just fine purely in income when they first meet him, but they still feel miserable about how hard they’re working or how they’re tied down and trapped by their businesses. Ron liberates them now, like he was once liberated. He saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.”
He didn’t believe it, but went anyway. Within the next 3 weeks, Ron made $3,000 on a small real estate deal and was no longer an auto mechanic. In a few short years, Ron purchased over 400 houses but had as many headaches as he did dollars. That’s when he completely redesigned his approach to real estate and went about being an ‘investor’ differently. He went about being a ‘quick-turn entrepreneur’ for immediate cash profits, too.
People started coming to Ron for advice, word got around, and almost of its own making, Ron wound up in the business of showing others how to do what he does – and what he does IS unique. It is a unique combination of marketing to attract deals, immediate cash profits, avoiding ordinary landlord problems, and rapidly accumulating wealth, a goodly portion of it tax-free. If that sounds complicated, it isn’t. Once you know the steps, it’ll be just as easy and natural for you to do as what you do now to make a living. By the way, you’ll be joining a 50 -Billion Dollar Industry that’s more than 200 years old. It’s not that we’re doing anything totally new here. Instead, Ron’s built a System for you on a rock-solid foundation.
So, today, Ron lives with his wife of 52 years, Beverly in a beautiful home and 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. He indulges in his favorite hobby, fishing, with three or four trips a year, including his favorite, into the Alaskan wilderness. He does a lot of speaking – in fact, he addresses audiences of 200 to 20,000. He frequently finds himself on programs with people like Dr. Phil, former U.S. Presidents, famous authors like Robert Kiosayki, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ even Donald Trump. He usually travels in his private jet – no “take off your belt and shoes” airport security lines for Ron! He doesn’t tell you ANY of that to brag, but to make two very important points for your benefit: one, if a dumb car mechanic can do this, why shouldn’t you? You definitely have more education and resources than Ron did when he started. And you have all his experience, buying some 400 houses “dumb ways,” 2,600+ the smart way; buying over $300-million of commercial property; 35 years; all compressed and condensed into a step-by-step System that Ron never had. Two, although he’s paid every week to speak, conduct seminars, and author books and courses, that’s NOT where the majority of Ron’s wealth came from or comes from. He does what he tells you to do. He still buys and “quick-turns” three to six ‘ordinary’ houses almost every month just to keep his hand in, with an average profit of over $60,000 a month.

Born with an entrepreneurial spirit Damion started his first business at age 11, has started 30 since and is the published author of 5 books.
He’s the founder of Yokido, his own martial art and has 3 other black belts.
As a thought leader and bold executioner, his first rental house was purchased Dec 31, 1999, using his VISA and some big cojones. That was the beginning of a business that grew into 150 houses in 7 states over the next 5 years that ended with a $20,000,000 meltdown and complete Reinvention in 2008. This was the basis for his book Reinvented Life.

John Jackson was a self-taught day trader and wanted to get involved in real estate but found that, like the stock market, there are many ways to play the game.

Brian Meara, CEO and Founder of The Investor Entourage, got his start in real estate as an agent in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania back in 2007. He did this out of financial necessity, fresh off a divorce, as he found himself a single father of three, three year-olds…yes, triplet boys!
Two years later, after having worked with many investors on short sale flips, he decided to change hats and “become” the investor on the deals where he was previously the Realtor. In a very short amount of time he has launched himself to the very TOP of the industry. He has closed and worked with thousands of deals that span the entire nation and is one of the nation’s top real estate investors and educators in his niche. He is still active himself and consistently closing deals of various natures and sizes.
Interestingly enough, he never sees the houses that he buys, nor does he meet the sellers, he never talks to the banks, AND he lives in the mountains of Northern Italy one month every quarter or 25% of the year…..a completely “virtual” operation!!!
A few other things from his “interesting” background:
Co-founder of the #1 selling system on the market teaching both Realtors and Investors how to properly work and profit from short sales, Flip Free Profits. Nationwide speaker, frequent radio guest, co-author. Created an elite real estate education company for mentoring investors nationwide. Co-Founder and CEO of a nationwide information technology staffing and consulting firm. Former restauranteur. FIRED from every one of the 28 jobs he has held. Former Paperboy. Former Altar Boy. Achieved his Black Belt in Korean Karate (Tang Soo Do) at the age of thirteen. Fluent in Italian. Terminal Cancer Survivor. Father of 5 boys, including triplets! Went from “fat and almost dead,” just before his 40th birthday, to “ripped” with a 6-pack in less than 60 days! He found a few simple secrets and tricks that changed it all… almost overnight! What you’ll learn about in this episode: What led Brian to create the wholesale short sale model How to wholesale a contract Why short sales are still relevant in today’s market The increasing number of houses going into foreclosure The importance of keeping your ‘finger on the pulse’ if you want to take investing to the next level Positioning yourself as the local area expert One of the biggest challenges that both agents & investors have to deal with The two parameters that all short sales need to meet The timeframe restrictions on reselling a short sale property How a high equity pre-foreclosure works Resources: REInvestorsummit.com/flipfree REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing REInvestorSummit.com/mypodcast REInvestorSummit.com/Grow REInvestorSummit.com/100

Ron Legrand is from humble beginnings, a former auto-mechanic who couldn’t even make ends meet working overtime. He’ll never forget telling his wife, again and again, they couldn’t afford a new washing machine when their old one broke. Today, they live in a 7,000 square foot home in Florida. He’s bought and sold over 3,000 homes and commercial properties all over America (using the same System he’ll give you) and he has thousands of people he’s helped and is helping to achieve their grandest goals. He’d like to share his story with you…
He’s been buying “quick-turning” for cash and keeping as investment houses as an independent investor and entrepreneur for 35 years. You can’t do that by random. You can’t do it “hit or miss” or you’d be broke, and he’s not; he’s quite rich. That’s because he has an actual SYSTEM for this that anybody can follow. And just about all business success and wealth is based on SYSTEMS. McDonald’s has a System for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a System for efficiently transporting passengers. “Old” wealth, like the Ford family’s, came from the Systems of assembly-line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. “New” wealth, like the Walton’s family’s, came from the Wal-Mart Systems for regional warehousing and distribution and controlling costs. In your job or business, you undoubtedly have Systems.
Ron has a System for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing certain very specific types of real estate, in some cases, to quickly resell one of several ways for immediate cash profits; in other cases, to hold onto, without landlord headaches. His System can be your System – without the years of trial-and-error and expense that went into perfecting it…
In 1982, Ron was married, working as a car mechanic, with no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, constantly telling his wife and kids “no” and feeling terrible about it. He was 35 years old, bankrupt, married for 17 years, with 4 kids and clueless about what he wanted to do with his life – although he was pretty sure he didn’t want to fix cars in the hot Florida sun. Sometimes, even a good business providing a good income still feels like a bad job.
Ron talked with a lot of doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance sales agents, mortgage brokers who are doing just fine purely in income when they first meet him, but still feeling miserable about how hard they’re working or how they’re tied down and trapped. by their businesses. He liberates them now like he was once liberated. He saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.”
He didn’t believe it but went anyway. Within the next 3 weeks, he made $3,000 on a small real estate deal and was no longer an auto mechanic. In a few short years, Ron purchased over 400 houses but had as many headaches as he did dollars. That’s when he completely redesigned his approach to real estate and went about being an ‘investor’ differently and went about being a ‘quick-turn entrepreneur’ for immediate cash profits, too.
People started coming to Ron for advice, word got around, and almost of its own making, he wound up in the business of showing others how to do what he does – and what he does IS unique. It is a unique combination of marketing to attract deals, immediate cash profits, avoiding ordinary landlord problems, and rapidly accumulating wealth, a goodly portion of it tax-free. If that sounds complicated, it isn’t. Once you know the steps, it’ll be just as easy and natural for you to do as what you do now to make a living. By the way, you’ll be joining a 50 -Billion Dollar Industry that’s more than 200 years old. It’s not what we’re doing anything totally new here. Instead, he’s built a System for you on a rock-solid foundation.
So, today, Ron and his wife of 52 years, Beverly live in a beautiful home and 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. He indulges in my favorite hobby, fishing, with three or four trips a year, including his favorite, into the Alaskan wilderness. He does a lot of speaking – in fact, he addresses audiences of 200 to 20,000. He frequently finds himself on programs with people like Dr. Phil, former U.S. Presidents, famous authors like Robert Kiyosaki, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ even Donald Trump. He usually travels in his private jet – no “take off your belt and shoes” airport security lines for Ron! He doesn’t tell you ANY of that to brag, but to make two very important points for your benefit: one, if a dumb car mechanic can do this, why shouldn’t you? You definitely have more education and resources than Ron did when he started. And you have all his experience, buying some 400 houses “dumb ways,” 2,600+ the smart way; buying over $300-million of commercial property; 35 years; all compressed and condensed into a step-by-step System that he never had. Two, although he’s paid every week to speak, conduct seminars, and author books and courses, that’s NOT where the majority of his wealth came from or comes from. He does what he tells you to do. he still buys and “quick-turn” three to six ‘ordinary’ houses almost every month just to keep his hand in, with an average profit of over $60,000 a month.

Ron Legrand is from humble beginnings, a former auto-mechanic who couldn’t even make ends meet working overtime. He’ll never forget telling his wife, again and again, they couldn’t afford a new washing machine when their old one broke. Today, they live in a 7,000 square foot home in Florida. He’s bought and sold over 3,000 homes and commercial properties all over America (using the same System he’ll give you) and he has thousands of people he’s helped and is helping to achieve their grandest goals. He’d like to share his story with you…
He’s been buying “quick-turning” for cash and keeping as investment houses as an independent investor and entrepreneur for 35 years. You can’t do that by random. You can’t do it “hit or miss” or you’d be broke, and he’s not; he’s quite rich. That’s because he has an actual SYSTEM for this that anybody can follow. And just about all business success and wealth is based on SYSTEMS. McDonald’s has a System for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a System for efficiently transporting passengers. “Old” wealth, like the Ford family’s, came from the Systems of assembly-line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. “New” wealth, like the Walton’s family’s, came from the Wal-Mart Systems for regional warehousing and distribution and controlling costs. In your job or business, you undoubtedly have Systems.
Ron has a System for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing certain very specific types of real estate, in some cases, to quickly resell one of several ways for immediate cash profits; in other cases, to hold onto, without landlord headaches. His System can be your System – without the years of trial-and-error and expense that went into perfecting it…
In 1982, Ron was married, working as a car mechanic, with no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, constantly telling his wife and kids “no” and feeling terrible about it. He was 35 years old, bankrupt, married for 17 years, with 4 kids and clueless about what he wanted to do with his life – although he was pretty sure he didn’t want to fix cars in the hot Florida sun. Sometimes, even a good business providing a good income still feels like a bad job.
Ron talked with a lot of doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance sales agents, mortgage brokers who are doing just fine purely in income when they first meet him, but still feeling miserable about how hard they’re working or how they’re tied down and trapped. by their businesses. He liberates them now like he was once liberated. He saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.”
He didn’t believe it but went anyway. Within the next 3 weeks, he made $3,000 on a small real estate deal and was no longer an auto mechanic. In a few short years, Ron purchased over 400 houses but had as many headaches as he did dollars. That’s when he completely redesigned his approach to real estate and went about being an ‘investor’ differently and went about being a ‘quick-turn entrepreneur’ for immediate cash profits, too.
People started coming to Ron for advice, word got around, and almost of its own making, he wound up in the business of showing others how to do what he does – and what he does IS unique. It is a unique combination of marketing to attract deals, immediate cash profits, avoiding ordinary landlord problems, and rapidly accumulating wealth, a goodly portion of it tax-free. If that sounds complicated, it isn’t. Once you know the steps, it’ll be just as easy and natural for you to do as what you do now to make a living. By the way, you’ll be joining a 50 -Billion Dollar Industry that’s more than 200 years old. It’s not what we’re doing anything totally new here. Instead, he’s built a System for you on a rock-solid foundation.
So, today, Ron and his wife of 52 years, Beverly live in a beautiful home and 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. He indulges in my favorite hobby, fishing, with three or four trips a year, including his favorite, into the Alaskan wilderness. He does a lot of speaking – in fact, he addresses audiences of 200 to 20,000. He frequently finds himself on programs with people like Dr. Phil, former U.S. Presidents, famous authors like Robert Kiyosaki, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ even Donald Trump. He usually travels in his private jet – no “take off your belt and shoes” airport security lines for Ron! He doesn’t tell you ANY of that to brag, but to make two very important points for your benefit: one, if a dumb car mechanic can do this, why shouldn’t you? You definitely have more education and resources than Ron did when he started. And you have all his experience, buying some 400 houses “dumb ways,” 2,600+ the smart way; buying over $300-million of commercial property; 35 years; all compressed and condensed into a step-by-step System that he never had. Two, although he’s paid every week to speak, conduct seminars, and author books and courses, that’s NOT where the majority of his wealth came from or comes from. He does what he tells you to do. he still buys and “quick-turn” three to six ‘ordinary’ houses almost every month just to keep his hand in, with an average profit of over $60,000 a month.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
How little real estate investing has changed since Ron got started in the business back in 1982
Wealth: how it comes from chaos
The many problems that arise when you invest in low-end housing & real estate
The benefits of the pretty house business vs. the ugly house business

Staying on the cutting edge of new resources/technology
Why if you can’t make money without money, you can’t make money with money

Larry Higgins is a real estate investor based out of Houston, TX. After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2003, he began his career in construction project management which he thoroughly enjoyed until 2013, when for the first time in his life, he found himself in a job from which he got no sense of satisfaction and decided he needed to make a change. That’s when he decided it was time to quit and jump into real estate full time although he had zero experience in it and had never even done a deal.
Fortunately, during this transition, Larry stumbled across Mitch Stephen whose mentorship helped him hit the ground running.
Like so many other investors have experienced, before he knew it, Larry had a huge stack of returned mail from his mail campaigns and he knew he needed to do something with it. After getting in touch with several skip trace services he realized how expensive it can be to skip trace so he decided to learn how to become his own skip tracer. Two deals later and he fully realized how crucial it is to be able to skip trace returned mail.
But it wasn’t just the returned mail that got Larry’s attention. As he worked his business, he couldn’t help but notice that some letters weren’t returned for weeks, months, or even years (yes years) after they were initially mailed.
He also witnessed first-hand how in most cases where his mail was received and he happened to get an appointment, it had a lot to do with luck in what he calls the yellow letter lottery. This is where the seller has received a stack of mail from other investors and the seller decides to pick just two or three people to call and get offers. No matter how great you think your mailing list is, if you’re in a larger market, the odds are there’s at least a dozen if not dozens of other investors mailing the same people.
So with a keen understanding that he was losing valuable time and leaving too much to chance with mailing, he knew he needed to create a system that allowed him to skip trace high volumes of people or lists and then call or text them. In another stroke of luck, Larry had just started partnering with Will Denker, an established and successful investor in Houston. With their combined knowledge and experience and the great team Will already had assembled, they were able to create the system they envisioned.
Now that they have created this system they no longer do mail campaigns and they rely strictly on skip tracing lists of potentially motivated sellers and contacting them via phone calls or text messages and it’s transformed their business. The ability to skip trace high volumes of people in a cost-effective manner has not only given them the ability to find and call or text the potential sellers, but it allows them to scan the lists and identify great deals that are flying under every other investor’s radar. The bottom line result is that they are more successful at getting deals and the deals are much more profitable. After first implementing their system their average assignment fee grew from $10,000 to $22,000 and then after becoming much more targeted they doubled it again to their current average assignment fee of $44,000.
Because they now have their strategy defined and much more targeted, Larry and Will recently decided to create skipgenie.com to begin sharing their high-volume skip trace system with other investors in various markets around the country, and helping them develop and tailor a system around their specific goals.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
Larry’s background
The benefits of skip tracing vs. sending a piece of mail
How the bulk skip tracing process works
The strategy for looking for good deals
What the ‘yellow letter lottery’ is all about
How building a rapport can help you get an offer
The importance of having good systems in place
Using technology to manage your time
Why you need to chase leads
Why bulk skip tracing is easier to do than a single skip trace

Mike Bundrant is the founder of iNLP Center. He is an NLP Master Practitioner, IANLP Fellow Trainer and retired psychotherapist (NM).
Mike became a certified NLP practitioner in 1993 by taking a 27-day NLP certification course from Western States Training in Salt Lake City, UT. Tim Hallbom and Suzi Smith were co-trainers then. He was certified by Michael Grinder after three days of watching him razzle dazzle the room, and he’ll never forget that.
He jumped right on master track at that point by going to Santa Fe, NM and taking a 21-day intensive from NLP Santa Fe’s Jake Eagle and Nelson Zink. What a meaningful experience! In fact, it was so worthwhile that he packed up and moved to New Mexico and joined the NLP Santa Fe training team to learn how to be a trainer.
That journey began in 1994. In 1995, Mike had the opportunity to develop our NLP training presence in Toyko, Japan. He does believe he was the first American to conduct a full-fledged NLP practitioner certification in Japan (at least he feels good when he tells himself that). Since then, Mike has designed and taught several NLP courses every year as a master trainer, and has been fortunate enough to teach twice annually in Tokyo, sponsored by the great Kazuhiko Umemoto of Team Medicine and supported by the world’s best translator, Nobuko Kobayashi. The programs he teaches in Japan were recently certified by IANLP.
He co-wrote a book that was published in Japan in 2007. He calls it Holistic NLP. It represents his unique approach to the field. He provides the digital version of it to my online students free of charge.
Mike decided to take the NLP courses and certification program he developed over the years online, developing the iNLP Center. His disappointment at how NLP is advertised and perceived has driven him to create an honest curriculum that doesn’t hype NLP or pretend it is “easy” and will give you magical powers. It’s a wonderful set of skills that is sure to enhance your life. Is that enough for you?
Because of NLP, Mike’s been fortunate enough in life to do exactly what he wants. He couldn’t ask for anything more. What takes up most of his time is his family. He lives in Murrieta, CA with his wife, Hope, and their children.
What is NLP? Listen in and find out!
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Mike’s journey to NLP & how he became a master practitioner Mike explains neurolinguistic programming (NLP) & how it works Why you keep falling into the procrastination trap How the way you think about something determines how you feel about it Why we choose a familiar misery over a foreign happiness Motivation strategies that do & don’t work How to actually achieve your goals and unblock your mindset Why it’s really smart not to hire someone if you don’t know how to hire people How once you know with clarity what your problem is, the options really open up Why you need to determine both what your goal is & what is getting in the way of you achieving your goals Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/NLP REInvestorSummit.com/Pro REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/mypodcast REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Peter Vekselmann is one of those people to whom doing the usual and customary thing runs contrary to the way he’s wired. Instead of going the traditional and culturally accepted route of getting a job after college and working his way up the corporate ladder, Peter chose the uncertainty of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, founding multiple successful businesses before ultimately settling on real estate investing. After building one of the largest and most successful real estate investing companies in the southeastern United States, he continued adding affiliated businesses to his arsenal and realized one day that he was pioneering an entirely new and successful business model: providing clients with one source for all their needs.
Peter began getting franchise requests from people who wanted to learn how to achieve the results he had without the trial and error of developing and implementing an untested business plan and making mistakes along the way. When one of his staffers suggested he make himself available to a student to teach his system in a one-on-one learning environment, Peter accepted and did that very successfully for a period of time. In the beginning, it was a markedly unstructured learning environment. Numerous students took advantage of his unorthodox coaching clinics. As he continued teaching students, Peter’s teaching methods got increasingly better and the number of requests for personal coaching grew. His real estate company and his holdings continued to grow.
Torn between a desire to continue investing in real estate and to coach investing students’ eager to tap into his knowledge so they could build businesses of their own, Peter once again found himself at a crossroads. It became clear that while he loved real estate investing, his true calling was in teaching others how to succeed in the rough and tumble world of real estate investing. Peter developed a unique curriculum that takes the needs of his students into consideration. Years later, he’s convinced that it’s working. Instead of a three day interaction with a student that barely scratches the surface of what he wants and needs to teach, Peter now gives his students a one year immersion into real estate investing – 12 months of practical hands-on learning. He’s able to teach everything he has learned about real estate investing and how to make money.
Whether the market is up, down, or somewhere in between, Peter loves teaching his students how to become self-assured, confident, and successful investors able to achieve their goals and surpass the expectations of what they hope to accomplish by investing in real estate. This is what he will do for you, using a Develop, Teach, and Do proven method. He looks forward to playing a part in your success.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
Peter’s background
What Peter believes real estate is all about
Things you need to do in order to do real estate in volume
How Peter solves dead leads and congruency problems
Creating more value for the seller
The successful model that Peter uses now
The benefits of forming teams with existing brokerages
Why Peter believes that the days of making blind offers are gone
How you can get tons of deals just by talking to other agents

Peter Kolat has the enviable talent of being an expert Internet marketer on top of being a real estate investor. He’s been consulting for many real estate gurus in the real estate industry. When it comes to real estate investing, he has extensive experience in commercial, residential, and development investing.
As a marketer, Peter Kolat is considered an expert in Internet marketing and social media marketing. His Free Internet Marketing Techniques helped many real estate investors & agents dominate their real estate markets on the internet. No wonder he’s been called the “Polish Pulverizer.”
Polish Peter was born in Poland in what he believes is one of the most beautiful cities called Zakopane. During his early childhood, he lived in a 14’X14′ room which was his bedroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room. The bathroom was a community restroom down the hall. Yes, that was a lot of fun.
Peter immigrated to the United States when he was 14 years old and did not speak any English. One of his earliest English language struggles was: “Am I Polish (nationality) or polish (state of being polished).” Yeah, that was fun as well.
By the way, not sure if you know this but money grows on trees in the US, palm trees are everywhere, beautiful high skyscrapers and people driving sports cars and loving life. (that was Peter’s perception of US before he came here).
And then I ended up in a small town right smack in the middle of Detroit! Imagine his surprise!
Fast forward to where he is today…
Peter lives in a beautiful suburb, about 30 minutes north of Detroit. He owns his own consulting and business growth company that works with high 6 figure and 7 figure businesses in about 16 different industries. A few years ago, Peter was featured in a Fast Company magazine as one of the “Top 100 most influential people on the internet.”
But what keeps him getting up in the morning is the fact that he can help people, that he can have an impact on someone’s life, that he can give them that gift of having that “aha” moment, that moment in their life that sparks something new, that drives them to a new way of living, that gives them that hope, that gives them that new life in their business, their family, their life…
And that’s why he started Immigrant Masters Unite, a podcast for immigrant business owners and entrepreneurs. It all started as interviews, talks with other successful immigrants to share their success stories, their trials, their so-called “insider secrets” to help you, to have an impact on your life!
And as they say, the rest is history…
On a more personal note…
Peter has 3 amazing kids (as of writing this, they are 13, 9 and 8 – a girl and 2 boys) which he loves, adores, and after God, always come first. His other love is the Detroit Red Wings (been a huge fan since he came here in the States in ’91), skiing, hockey, soccer, reading amazing books, working out at the gym and coaching/helping others. He also sits on a board for an amazing nonprofit called CARE of Southeast Michigan and after you listen to his podcast, you’ll know why.

Don Costa is a married father of 3. He has been in the house flipping game since 2003. He almost lost everything in the crash and he rebuilt his business in 2012. His company currently does around 100 homes a year.
Don started flipping houses when he was unemployed. The unemployment check only covered his living expenses and so he had to find a way to find deals, get funding for them and to fix them so that he could sell them and profit.
He got a notice of default list and began going door to door to try to buy houses from the people about to face foreclosure.
To buy and fix up the houses, he worked out a deal with a money partner to joint venture. The money partner would put up the funds. He would find the deals and manage the fix-up and they would split the profits 50/50.
Not all deals are 50/50, we discuss some of the other terms investors use and how those are determined. Basically, the more value you bring to the table for the joint venture, the more you should make out of the deal. If you are finding incredible deals, managing the rehabs and getting them sold, shouldn’t you be asking for a 60/40 split? Heck yes.
Don didn’t have money to make monthly payments to hard money and private money lenders. He didn’t have money to spend on rehabs before getting draws from lenders. He had to joint venture.
He still joint ventures to this day. The reason is that he always wants to do as many deals as he can. Joint venturing allows him to be able to do that.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Don’s background Why the less expensive a house is, the higher the ROI Focusing on speed rather than perfection when working on entry level homes Finding someone who is teachable, coachable & loyal to be a part of your team What the key to the real estate business is really all about Why you should just use one person & one lender per house The importance of building core relationships with your agents, contractors, private money investors & your team Why you need to accomplish what you say that you’re going to accomplish Why you shouldn’t get greedy when working with private money Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/costa REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Cliff Gager has been in the real estate business since 1992, when he started in the residential mortgage lending world as a loan officer for a national mortgage company. Struggling at first to make commissions doing loans for Realtor’s clients, Cliff soon discovered he was in a business dominated by much older, more experienced, and more established mortgage lenders and brokers.But Cliff was able to discover a niche market opportunity that these more established lenders and brokers had overlooked – and wound up creating his own client base in the private lending world.
Working with several non-institutional financial investors, Cliff hit upon the idea of originating private mortgage purchase money loans for real estate investors who were buying, fixing, and selling residential houses. As a result of this discovery, Cliff was to become indispensable to these real estate investors by not only providing the initial funding for their acquisitions, but also by providing the financing for the people who actually wound up buying these properties after those same investors had completed their rehabilitation of the properties and put them up for sale!
After watching many of these “house flipping” investors make money doing these deals, Cliff saw the clear potential for profitability, jumped in with both feet, and started to buy, fix, and sell houses, all the while continuing to perform in his already existing position as a residential lender and mortgage broker. In October of 1994 Cliff branched out, opening Galleria Investment Group and, close on its heels, followed that up in March of 1995 by creating the Galleria Realty Group.
Almost immediately after that, in April of the same year, Cliff launched Galleria Mortgage Group, a licensed mortgage brokerage business. Beginning around September of 1997, while working through some difficult times, Cliff began working in the real estate seminar industry for many of the late night TV “infomercial” gurus you likely know today! Since then Cliff has worked as a real estate “mentor” – doing the actual fulfillment for these aforementioned “gurus” on what (he discovered) were the very expensive real estate training classes they were selling to the people.
In 2010 Cliff started working independently with students of his own, and is now bringing his training directly to the people that need it the most, and, just as importantly – at a price that most everyone can afford! Cliff teaches real world strategies that absolutely work. Whether you are a beginner -or a seasoned investor – Cliff can help you reach your goals faster and easier! Now you can benefit from Cliff’s 25 plus years of experience in real estate investing, mortgage acquisition, private lending, and ongoing “advanced” training for investors already “in the biz”! Cliff has taught thousands of students nationwide, using his own finely honed system that utilizes truly unique and exciting strategies, to profit from flipping and buying properties.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: The background behind the course that Cliff teaches today How being new to the real estate industry can cause apprehension How Cliff instills confidence in negotiation strategies Why, if you’re winning all of your negotiations, you’re paying too much Using the Honey Badger Style when investing The strategy behind negotiating terms The best & worst deals that Cliff has ever done in his career Cliff explains how people wait in a linear fashion for deals Why you need to compress everything and do it at the same time when making a deal How, if you get a good deal, the money will always follow How getting a ‘no’ gets you one step closer to a yes Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/honeybadger REInvestorSummit.com/live RebornCredit.com REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Frank Rolfe has been an investor in mobile home parks for almost two decades, and has owned and operated hundreds of mobile home parks during that time. He is currently ranked, with his partner Dave Reynolds, as the 5th largest mobile home park owner in the U.S., with over 250 communities spread out over 25 states.
But it all began with one mobile home park, Glenhaven, in Dallas, Texas. “When I bought Glenhaven, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or how a mobile home park worked. If I had, I would have never bought that park, as it saddled me with a master-metered gas and electric system – two of the biggest challenges a mobile home park owner can face – and a tenant base that was straight out of COPs. We had carnival workers, hookers, the absolute dregs of society. It even had a wrestling ring in the back.
A few years later, I had unbelievably turned that dump into a nice, quiet, family community, with a neighborhood feel and kids riding bicycles down the streets. Another five years later, the park was worth around $1 million more than I had paid for it.” With his success with Glenhaven, Frank continued to buy more mobile home parks, focusing on parks that had good locations, but were terribly managed.
Frank has always believed that mobile home parks are all about “affordable housing”. “Beginning with Glenhaven, I noticed that a mobile home park – when properly managed – offers a significantly better quality of life than a comparably priced apartment. Nobody likes to have neighbors banging on their walls and ceilings, or the lack of a yard or nearby parking – or just the lack of a neighborhood “feel”. It occurred to me that I could have my phone ringing off the hook if I could deliver an affordable detached dwelling with a yard that was safe, clean and respectable. That’s what I delivered at Glenhaven, and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.”
Along the way, Frank began writing about the industry, and his books, coupled with those of his partner Dave Reynolds, evolved into a course and bootcamp on mobile home park investing that has become the leader in this niche of commercial real estate. “Dave and I have trained hundreds of investors on how to properly buy and operate a mobile home park, 100% based on our real-life experiences in the hundreds of parks we have owned and performed due diligence on. It gives us great satisfaction when people tell us about the mobile home park that they have purchased and how well it’s going. We really wished that someone had given us some direction when we began – it would have saved us a lot of money and stress. But I guess it all worked out pretty well in the end.”
Frank lives in a small town in Missouri with his wife and daughter. He is very active in community affairs, being a member of the Lions Club, the school board, and Chairman of the Landmarks Commission. He holds an A.B. in Economics from Stanford University.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Frank got started with billboards How to find the place to put billboards (where can they go and where can’t they?) How the internet has actually helped the billboard market How much it actually costs to build a billboard from scratch (and what needs to happen for that investment to be worth it) Why smaller billboards are often the most profitable Billboards vs premise signs: the differences and how to use them to your advantage Why the big companies are the easiest to compete with in the billboard industry How to find advertisers to buy space on your signs Why installing signs is very easy and cheap Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/billboards REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing RebornCredit.com REInvestorSummit.com/100
Between 1980 and 1982 Jackie Lange’s whole life changed when her son and daughter were born. She made the decision to quit her long distance operator job so she could stay home to raise her children. Luckily, she had a husband that was very supportive of her decision.
But, as the years went by, she realized that her whole life and livelihood for she and her children were completely dependent on her husband. With national statistics proving that 50% of all marriages end in divorce she knew that she needed to do something to create income of her own.
After being out of the workforce for 12 years, her employment prospects looked bleak. So she knew she would have to find a way to be her own boss if she wanted to make the kind of money she would need to support she and her children.
She looked into all kinds of work at home opportunities. The only one she found that would create the kind of income that she wanted to make was real estate. Instead of working 40 hours a week, she could make the same kind of income working just a few hours a week with real estate.
Real estate investing offered flexible hours and an unlimited income potential. After reading a few books in the library and studying a few courses, she started her quest to make money with real estate investing. From that point it only took her 3 weeks to cash her first check for $8,000.
She was totally hooked.
Now, she’s been successfully buying, selling, leasing and investing in real estate for more than 20 YEARS and has created a “not so small” fortune from real estate. She’s bought anything from a $400 mobile home to a $20 million dollar mansion to an 18,000 acre ranch and everything in between! She did this all with no college education (heck, she did good to make it through high school) so don’t worry, you don’t need a PHD or years of training to make the kind of money many doctors dream about!
It does not matter what’s happening with the economy. There are always opportunities to make money with real estate and people will always need a house to live in. What’s happening on Wall Street or with the government does not affect Jackie. She’s created her own economy and financial security.
In 2000, she met Jack Miller. He was the most brilliant real estate investor she had ever met. His seminars were filled with creative ideas but there was one problem. If you could not get on a plane and fly to his seminar, you could not learn from Jack Miller. So many people could benefit from learning Jack’s strategies, but they can’t all fly to a seminar every month. So she wanted to get Jack’s information recorded and online to help him reach more people. It took a lot of convincing, but after several years, she talked Jack into letting her record his events and get his information online so everyone could get the information they needed to be more successful in their real estate business. That’s how Cash Flow Depot was born.
Looking back, she can’t imagine where she would be if she had not discovered how to make money with real estate. It is the quickest and easiest way to make a lot of money fast.
She now lives in a tropical paradise in Central America…. thanks to the cash flow from her real estate investments. She owns a small coffee farm and still invests in real estate in Panama. In 2010 she started PanamaRelocationTours.com and now offers relocation tours in Panama and Ecuador.
You never know .. real estate investing could lead to an entrepreneurial lifestyle. Even if you don’t make a full time business out of real estate investing, just a few deals a year can keep you completely out of debt. Real estate can provide monthly cash low, wealth accumulation, and tax savings not available with any other type of business.
There are many ways to make money with real estate which don’t require buying the house or getting a loan.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:

Examples of investments that Jackie is doing in Panama right now

Stephen understands the dreams, challenges, and goals of business owners because he comes from a family of entrepreneurs. His grandfather (Pop) immigrated to the United States from Greece in the early 1920s. He worked as a dishwasher in a small Canton, Ohio restaurant until he had saved enough money to open his own place.
He named his first restaurant “The Ideal.” Pop’s business savvy and discipline would make any corporate executive envious. Pop’s determination and grit were what helped him keep his restaurant afloat during the Great Depression. He sold a soup and sandwich combo for a nickel. How’s that for a value menu? Pop’s business plan was simple, “No matter how bad the economy gets…just remember…everyone’s got to eat.”
Stephen owes a debt of gratitude to his mother, Evie, who owned a successful bakery for 14 years (making the most elegant cakes) and showed him the meaning of hard work and dedication first hand. Also, to his Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bill, where, at 10, he worked cutting strawberries for pies and watching the parking lot for violators. Quite an adventure for a young lad! Then, at 11, Stephen worked for his other Uncle Bill and Aunt Chris, beginning his illustrious dishwashing career. He started out making .25 an hour and got a raise to 1.25…he felt like Donald Trump in those days!
Ten days after he graduated from high school Stephen left all of his family and friends behind and headed to Air Force basic training. What he didn’t realize is that he would learn lessons that forever changed him as person and helped shape Predictive ROI to this day. It is there that he re-learned the meaning of entrepreneurial grit. When his drill instructors would stand over his head, look into his eyes, and shout, “Airman Woessner…you are required to perform 25 repetitions of this exercise. However, you ARE encouraged to do more.” Rest assured, he never did 25 – it was made abundantly clear that the minimum requirement was not an acceptable standard.
He would be remiss if he left out the part of his story where he has made costly mistakes along the way. Stephen built one of his previous companies up to a valuation of $10 million, only to lose millions when the dot com bubble imploded. This very expensive lesson is where he became passionate about measurable ROI! Stephen went on to write two bestselling books based on all of his research and also to share what he has learned through workshops, training seminars and keynote presentations. He is happiest at his whiteboard and flip-charts, empowering others to do digital themselves!
For a number of years he served as the business education coordinator and a business counselor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Small Business Development Center. He had the privilege of teaching many training sessions throughout the University of Wisconsin System, including the prestigious UW-Madison School of business.
In 2011 he launched Predictive ROI LLC because he wanted to devote himself fulltime to sharing what he has learned and to strip away the mystery of digital marketing. They work with clients, using Stephen’s patent pending ROI process, so that they can dramatically increase their sales immediately. It is their passion and they never give just the minimum! One of their core values is “One More. Hustle.”
One of the many blessings that has blossomed out of the conception of Predictive ROI is that Stephen has been able to realize his commitment to paying it forward through education; because he believes that is the greatest equalizer. What he did not mention above is that Pop accomplished all he did with only a third grade education. Pop had to drop out of school to care for his family when his father was tragically killed in an accident. It has been Stephen’s greatest honor to provide scholarships to children in need.
When he is not analyzing streams of data, working with his valued clients, or speaking with amazing business leaders, you can find Stephen enjoying his wonderful wife, Christine, and daughter, Caitlyn. They find great joy in bike rides, hikes, football games (Go Broncos and Buckeyes), and all things Disney.

Laura Alamery was born and raised in beautiful Vicenza, Italy – only 40 miles from lovely Venice on the Adriatic Sea.
In 1985 she relocated to United States, moving to Honolulu in 1987 where she became a college student at Hawaii Pacific University; just 4 miles from the beaches of Waikiki.
She began developing a keen interest in real estate, so she started reading everything she could find – watching late night infomercials and buying courses by Dave Del Dotto, Robert Allen and Carlton Sheets.
That same year she became a real estate agent to help pay for her college studies. She joined Dolman and Associates in Honolulu, and right away she was inspired by some of the top agents on the island. She began following their lead and in her first year in the industry, She became a multi-million dollar producer!
In 1991, Laura graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and moved to Missouri that same year. Once on ‘the mainland,’ her real estate career really took off. She started to purchase properties with no money down using creative financing.
Laura continued her education by earning an MBA in Finance, still working part-time in real estate. Then she began a new career as an assistant controller in metal commodities, planning to climb the corporate ladder and keep real estate as a side business.
By the mid-1990s, Laura had already acquired a sizable portfolio (over 20 properties) consisting mostly of multi-families for rental income – and she was barely 30 years old! She was making more money in part-time real estate (less than 10 hours a week) than in her full-time corporate job, so in 1996 she decided to flip the switch and devote herself entirely to real estate. Once she was able to immerse herself full-time into real estate investing, her career skyrocketed.
In 1997, Laura began sharing her knowledge of real estate investing, proven strategies and creative financing techniques by hosting real estate seminars. And, given the widespread use of the Internet, she decided to also share her practical knowledge and experience as well via online mentoring and coaching. In 2010, she opened The REI Lab, Inc. – the culmination of various companies she had started and closed in the past.
With a love for laid back lifestyle and great weather (she really missed being near the water), Laura decided to relocate once more in May of 2015. This time the move was to Broward County, Florida; midpoint between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The Miami-Dade area is full of opportunities, and 59% of the real estate transactions there in 2016 were cash – more than twice the national average according to the National Association of Realtors!
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Who Laura studied as she was learning real estate investing and some great books she’s reading now How Laura uses auctions to find properties, buyers, and private lenders The kinds of auctions that typically lend themselves to making the best connections and why it will vary by location Why buying properties at auctions might not be the best way to get properties in every location right now The challenges you will face when first attending auctions (like breaking into the group of regular attendees) Why having an acquisition consultant to go to auctions for you is priceless Why you need a mentor in real estate The four possible outcomes in real estate investing and which one you should focus on early on in your real estate career Laura’s private money made easy program Why Laura prefers in-person auctions over online auctions Why Laura is focusing on luxury real estate in 2017 and why she will move around through different kinds of real estate deals Why getting a real estate license isn’t necessarily the right move Why you need to keep yourself educated Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/alamery REInvestorSummit.com/auction REInvestorSummit.com/courses RebornCredit.com REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/101

Frank Rolfe has been an investor in mobile home parks for almost two decades, and has owned and operated hundreds of mobile home parks during that time. He is currently ranked, with his partner Dave Reynolds, as the 5th largest mobile home park owner in the U.S., with over 250 communities spread out over 25 states.
But it all began with one mobile home park, Glenhaven, in Dallas, Texas. “When I bought Glenhaven, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or how a mobile home park worked. If I had, I would have never bought that park, as it saddled me with a master-metered gas and electric system – two of the biggest challenges a mobile home park owner can face – and a tenant base that was straight out of COPs. We had carnival workers, hookers, the absolute dregs of society. It even had a wrestling ring in the back.
A few years later, I had unbelievably turned that dump into a nice, quiet, family community, with a neighborhood feel and kids riding bicycles down the streets. Another five years later, the park was worth around $1 million more than I had paid for it.” With his success with Glenhaven, Frank continued to buy more mobile home parks, focusing on parks that had good locations, but were terribly managed.
Frank has always believed that mobile home parks are all about “affordable housing”. “Beginning with Glenhaven, I noticed that a mobile home park – when properly managed – offers a significantly better quality of life than a comparably priced apartment. Nobody likes to have neighbors banging on their walls and ceilings, or the lack of a yard or nearby parking – or just the lack of a neighborhood “feel”. It occurred to me that I could have my phone ringing off the hook if I could deliver an affordable detached dwelling with a yard that was safe, clean and respectable. That’s what I delivered at Glenhaven, and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.”
Along the way, Frank began writing about the industry, and his books, coupled with those of his partner Dave Reynolds, evolved into a course and bootcamp on mobile home park investing that has become the leader in this niche of commercial real estate. “Dave and I have trained hundreds of investors on how to properly buy and operate a mobile home park, 100% based on our real-life experiences in the hundreds of parks we have owned and performed due diligence on. It gives us great satisfaction when people tell us about the mobile home park that they have purchased and how well it’s going. We really wished that someone had given us some direction when we began – it would have saved us a lot of money and stress. But I guess it all worked out pretty well in the end.”
Frank lives in a small town in Missouri with his wife and daughter. He is very active in community affairs, being a member of the Lions Club, the school board, and Chairman of the Landmarks Commission. He holds an A.B. in Economics from Stanford University.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Frank’s background Why you always want to buy city water/city sewer Why you want parks with paved roads Why you NEVER want master metered power or master metered gas Why you don’t want to own a park where the mobile homes are too close together Why the best place to own a park is in a popular school district with high home prices The economics of mobile home parks Why Frank likes owning mobile home lots more than mobile homes How to get a good mobile home park at a good price just by bonding with them Why bank financing is readily available for mobile home parks and mini storage What Frank’s training looks like where he teaches people the industry Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/CREU REInvestorSummit.com/101 REInvestorSummit.com/coaching RebornCredit.com REInvestorSummit.com/Capital

When Stacy Kellams was only seventeen he clearly articulated the path he intended to take in life. After watching his grandfather get “down-sized” after twenty-nine years with no pension or severance made a lasting impression. Nearing his sixties, and depending on his pension for retirement, his grandfather was devastated.
It was at that moment Stacy determined NEVER to have a job and NEVER give anyone that much power over his life. This fueled an already strong entrepreneurial spirit, and it was a matter of weeks before he and his best friend Levi started a “peep-hole” installation business.
Stacy Kellams struggled with the notion of “going to college” and “getting a job” so he dropped out several times to start businesses. He ultimately realized that whether or not he “got a job,” he did need business education to succeed as an entrepreneur.
With a degree in finance from Texas Tech University, Stacy plunged into the chaotic and lucrative environment of high finance where he became an investment adviser (RIA). “Wall Street is like craps, you win big, and you lose big,” said Stacy. And he did. Growing tired of the wild ride the stock market, Stacy shifted gears.
With his grandfather’s words whispering in his ear, “Son, they ain’t makin’ any more land so you might should get you some,” Stacy refocused his attention back to the one investment he’d never lost money in: Real estate.
After putting his first property under contract at just twenty-five, Stacy never lost his enthusiasm for real estate. After ten years, he decided he wanted to give back. Knowing there was no way he could repay those who’d mentored him, he positioned himself as a mentor to others.
Launching a real estate education business was the best method by which he could lend his experience and education to the most people possible. Using the internet allows him to leverage his time, so he can spend the maximum amount of time with his wife, Hilary and their three children.
“Nothing is more important to me than my family. Being an internet marketer and real estate educator affords me the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.”
Being mobile helps Stacy and his wife run their health and wellness business as independent distributors of Kyani, a product they stumbled upon seeking a treatment for their daughter’s chronic inflammation due to Celiac Disease.
“People everywhere are hurting, whether it’s physically, emotionally, academically or financially,” Stacy remarks.
“Kyani, a liquid and bioavailable source of the most powerful anti-oxidants on the planet as well as the highest quality Omega-3 fatty acids on earth.

Charles Dobens is a Boston-based attorney and apartment investor, though none of his properties are located in Massachusetts.
Ever since he was young, Charles wanted to own apartments. But, taking the path of least resistance (and not the path less traveled) he decided to enter the family business of insurance after getting out of college. That started a long journey that finally brought him back to the business of multifamily investing.
Charles has been involved in multifamily transactions either as principal, attorney or consultant totaling approximately $500MM. He currently owns and operates approximately $20MM of property in several Midwestern states.
In addition to owning and operating these properties, Charles also owns the management company that oversees them as well. (Don’t believe what you have heard or read about just hiring a third-party management company to run your properties and life will be a breeze. It’s like sending your child away to boarding school in Switzerland and then wondering why you don’t have a good relationship with them).
After seeing the dearth of good, quality training for the new investor, he co-founded the Multifamily Investing Academy, working with new investors to train them in the correct way to acquire, operate and own multifamily property.
His law practice is a “boutique” law and consulting firm with one specialty; assisting his clients through the entire acquisition, ownership and disposition process of multifamily property. With their experience as multifamily investors, Charles’ firm is uniquely qualified to walk investors confidently through the entire process; analyzing property, negotiating contracts, organizing funding as well as transitioning to ownership.
If you come to one of his presentations, expect a no-holds-barred presentation that will leave you laughing (and sometimes crying) but wanting more straight-talk about owning apartments and dealing with residents. The audiences typically include repeat customers looking to hear his latest stories of multifamily ownership.
Charles lives in Duxbury, MA with his wife, Kate, and their four children, Abby, Jack, Nancy and Sam (ages provided upon request – hey, they change every year).
After years of running in road races all across the world, he now plays the piano.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Charles’ background and how he got into real estate Why you shouldn’t ask for money — ask for help How to know where you should be looking for deals How to prevent people from committing fraud against you Why you need to get out there and find deals Why this business isn’t about real estate How Charles protects the people he coaches The direction Charles and his wife are going next Why you must read “The E-Myth Revisited” Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/dobens REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing REInvestorSummit.com/grow REInvestorSummit.com/200+ REInvestorSummit.com/coaching
Matt Theriault is a USMC “Desert Storm” Veteran who enjoyed 15 successful years in the music business as a record producer and label owner. When the digital download killed the record store, he found virtually everything that he had built become obsolete in a matter of months. The demise of his music business was swift and unforgiving to the point that Matt was forced to start life, personally and professionally, from square one at the age of 34. The transition from a 7-figure year to $7 an hour bagging groceries is a humbling one to say the least.
When the most unlikely of mentors, the grocery store manager, shared with Matt the wisdom “Real estate is the final frontier where the average person has a legitimate shoe at creating real wealth,” he embraced it, ran with it and hasn’t looked back.
Theriault, now an accomplished real estate investor and coach has built a cash flowing real estate portfolio of 100+ units over the last 10 years, is enjoying his financial independence, continues to build his portfolio and has discovered a new passion for creating systems and showing others how to replicate his results.
You will find that his approach to real estate investing is conservative, simple, to the point and efficient. Matt credits his success to performing as much, if not more, due diligence on his real estate team as he does the market and properties themselves.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Matt’s story of how he started his life over Why you can’t wait for someone to rescue you Why where you are is exactly where you chose to be — and why you can always choose somewhere else Why going to college isn’t always the best avenue for learning anymore (at least for business) Moving at the speed of instruction The countless people that Matt has helped gain financial freedom with real estate Why you shouldn’t use their own money How Matt helps people find deals in his program Working with people when they bring you a deal that isn’t your specialty Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/matt REInvestorSummit.com/noteservicing REInvestorSummit.com/capital REInvestorSummit.com/200+ REInvestorSummit.com/coaching

Bill Young has started and ran small businesses since his 20’s (he’s 65 now), and has studied with many real estate investors during that time.
Bill met Mitch in 2006 or so at the San Antonio Real Estate Investors Association when he was living there. Not long after that, the real estate bubble burst, and he was not positioned to buy properties in the down market that followed.
He returned to his second home in Baja California, Mexico for the next few years and just returned to Texas a couple of years ago. Bill knew It was time for me to get involved in real estate investing, so he contacted Mitch to get involved in his mentoring program.
In February 2016 he sold some assets and bought 4 houses that he began rehabbing. He learned many lessons the hard way as to why Mitch encourages people to buy livable houses at low prices and resell them without doing any, or very little work on them.
He still has three of the original 4 houses that he is trying to sell, but in the meantime he has bought one house with private money and resold it for twice what he paid for it- without doing anything to it! He is now a complete convert to the owner financing way of real estate investing.
What you’ll learn about in this episode: Bill’s background While Bill is glad he’s spent a lot of money on seminars throughout the years Bill’s early rehab deals and why he’s done into owner financing since then Why you shouldn’t rehab houses Bill strengths and weaknesses Having a real estate mentor that doesn’t live where you are Why you absolutely need a mentor Advice Bill has for young people wanting to get into real estate Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/coaching REInvestorSummit.com/Pro REInvestorSummit.com/Grow REInvestorSummit.com/Live REInvestorSummit.com/101

Trevor Mauch cut his teeth in real estate in college and through years of trial and error, learned how to generate leads online effectively through inbound online marketing (to the tune of 84,000+ real estate related leads and counting). He leads the Carrot© team and focuses on helping members get the result they want. But, away from business… Trevor loves mountain biking, golfing, and spends most of his time with his wife and 3 young kids.
It sounds corny… but what fuels Trevor in business and life is impact and being that spark of positivity and possibility that helps amplify leaders to better make their greater impact in life and business.
He’s fortunate enough to have never had a real job for anyone else… but that also means that along the way he’s had to make a ton of his own mistakes. Those mistakes and a handful of core operating principles on how he lives his life have helped him do some pretty fun and cool things in business up to this point. His main business gig is as the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) of Carrot, a software as a service company that helps small businesses easily create a website to generate inbound leads through the internet.
In addition, if you talk to Trevor on the phone you won’t be able to shut him up about how important wrapping mission and impact into your business are. So sharing what he learns along the way to help amplify other leaders to do bigger, better, greater, and more impactful things goes well beyond adding some extra zeros to your bank account…
… but make a lasting difference that starts a ripple of awesomeness in the world.
Other random trivia tidbits…
Has the most beautiful wife and 3 kids he could ask for. They’re why he does what he does.
Bought a 4 unit multi-family real estate investment property when he was 21 and in college with only $600 to his name (yep, those infomercials weren’t lying. Crazy huh?). It’s profited every month since then (real estate works!). He doesn’t consider himself a real estate expert though. He’s surround himself with great, ethical, honest, successful investors who are experts… for whom Carrot publishes great training programs.
Started an entrepreneur co-workspace called “The Loft” in downtown Roseburg… it’s the only office building in town with a waiting list and some amazing things are being created in that space
Once biked across the SW coast of Ireland fueled mainly on Guinness and a full Irish breakfast
Graduated from Oregon Institute of Technology (we call it the MIT of Oregon) with a 3.98 GPA with degrees in Marketing and Entrepreneurship (which was cool at the time, but he later learned it didn’t mean a thing once he graduated)
Later failed the LSAT to get into law school… twice, and turned back to his roots of entrepreneurship (thank God)
Received the Presidents Cup in Entrepreneurship at OIT for being the “top college entrepreneur” and 10 years later awarded the Oregon Institute of Technology Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award for this “entrepreneur stuff”. Look ma’, he actually used his degree for what it was meant for!
Helped take a company to the Inc. 500/5000 list in 2008 (and Carrot is heading that direction too)
Has a goal to do one thing on his “life list” a month for 10 years so he has time to make a new life list by the time he’s 40… and this is only just beginning.

Mark’s Grandfather, Lloyd Walters, invested in his first “fixer-upper” property back in 1937 in San Jose, California. That was during the Great Depression and I can’t imagine the challenges he must have endured during that historic time of our country. It says a lot about him and the values he passed down to Mark and his father
Since that time, Mark’s family has always been passionate about real estate.
His father, Lloyd Walters, was written up in a national publication in 1985 for some revolutionary marketing ideas he shared dealing with discounted mortgages.
The demand was so great to learn more of these techniques that they wrote the first book in the country on marketing for discounted mortgages titled, “How To Find All The Discounted Mortgages You Could Ever Hope To Buy”.
After that book release they were inundated with people asking what else they were doing. They then wrote another real estate investing book, which had people requesting more ideas and the big snow ball has never stopped rolling.
By the age of 25, Mark had my own real estate brokerage. After a few years, and being more interested in the investor side of the business,he closed up shop and has not been an active broker since.
In the late 1980’s he stumbled on to Judgment Investing. That was a revelation that continues to excite those that hear about it. After putting together a progressive judgment investing plan for their own business, they started to share the strategies in a training, “The Complete Guide To Judgment Investing”.
After the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, in 1992 everyone packed up all their California belongings and moved to Arizona and began buying properties with the intention of riding the market up.
Guess what? The old crystal ball must have been working because over the following years Phoenix became one of the top real estate investing areas in the country.
Mark continues to enjoy sharing unique and profitable investing ideas with good people like yourself here.

Well, most of his affluent customers in his first business owned real estate so he knew there was something to be learned in that industry. He was a complete novice to it and didn’t even graduate from high school.
He started as a “bird dog” and quickly learned how much money the investor was making selling the houses he was bringing him. So he quickly learned how to assign, wholesale and flip distressed properties. He then put together a skeleton rehab crew tho his rehab attempts ended up being more of a mirage instead of a real profit center.
Around year 2004 that he stumbled his way through a short sale and made over $30,000 on that first short sale deal!
He soon became known as the local “go-to” guy for doing short sales. After discovering a loophole in the short sale submission process he partnered to create a short sale software that grew to over 5000 users.
Cory has become an International speaker, real estate trainer and coach, book author, private consultant and real estate investor. He also serves on the BOD for a landlord and property investor association in Oklahoma City called ”Millionaire Possibilities” (MPREIA). He’s published in the Wall Street Journal for successful business aptitude and voted #4 in the world out of nearly 30,000 others by Fast Company Magazine Social Influence Project as “Most Influential Marketer”.
