I was on Selling Real Estate with Kelly Cook recently and I talked about a hybrid model for real estate agents that could help them make the most out of their current marketing to get started in investing. Watch this video for the full interview with Kelly and Elizabeth so you can learn more about the hybrid model for realtors and how you can do it if you’re a real estate agent!
Friend of the show Raul Bolufe discusses his philosophy on having a wholesale operation that focuses on making MLS Offers vs Marketing Directly to seller. We also discuss the role of the ego in your life and business, and why he is strategically ramping aspects of his business down right now after 5 years of grinding.

We hear so many people talk about being visionaries and integrators, but is it really just black and white? I think everybody has a piece of each in them and what shines most is what you choose to focus on or what your business needs from you.
Raul is a Real Estate Entrepreneur, Real Estate Coach, Podcast Host, and CEO of Capital Rise Investments LLC. Capital Rise Investments LLC is one of Miami ‘s premier real estate investing groups. They specialize in distressed single-family houses (foreclosures, bank REO’s, sellers who need to sell fast). After they buy a house, the house is then remodeled and sold to a new homeowner to love and live in. At Capital Rise Investments, they believe their success is a result of the relationships they've built and their process in buying and selling quality houses. Houses that they buy tend to be the ones that aren’t the best looking in the neighborhood. So when they buy into an area, the community embraces them because they're helping to beautify the community they live in as well.
One of the best things about real estate is the flexibility of deal structures. We aren’t confined to a single way of structuring our deals because we can have as many options as we want to if we can get creative enough, as long as all parties involved will agree.
My first deal didn’t come by like how most real estate investors find theirs. It was a $61K condo and it was already rented, I thought the math made sense, so I did what I had to so I could get the deal!
A major part of your success will come from your mindset. You have to think the right way so you could achieve your goals and attract more opportunities that will give you success!
One of the most important skills you need to have as a real estate investor is thoroughly evaluating deals, no matter what property type you’re working with. Our business is focusing on multifamily properties this year and that’s what I’m here to share with you guys.
When it comes to finding deals, it all comes down to two components - marketing and sales. These two components work hand-in-hand to give you the results you want to have in your business.
As a real estate investor, it’s the first deal that always gets you fueled and fired up to get more. I got my first deal through a method that I learned from a podcast I listened to and after that was done, I never wanted to stop!
Direct mail, up to now, is still one of our most profitable lead sources. It’s an age-old strategy that’s proven effective no matter how much technology changes marketing, and it’s a strategy you should be using in your business too.
For those of you that don’t know what an MLS is, it’s a Multiple Listing Service, and it is where realtors, real estate agents, and brokers list their properties for sale. It’s a marketplace that can be accessed only if you’re licensed and it’s another great way to find great deals.
Wholesaling is one of the greatest strategies in real estate investing. It’s a strategy that can make you millions when done right and it’s important that you know what wholesale deals are like before you get started.
A VTO is a Vision Traction Organizer and it comes from the book Traction by Gino Wickman. It is one of the most important things you need to have in your business to make sure that you’re focused on what truly matters and that you’re always on track to achieve your goals.
Another key strategy we use in our wholesale business is cold calling and it gives us the best return on our money. Cold calling can be a powerful strategy if you have the right people doing it through the right process!
If you want your business to become successful, you need to have a strategic plan in place. Simple to-do lists won’t work and that’s why we follow a system that helps us make sure we’re not running around like chickens with our heads cut off!
It takes a lot to build a great team. We put thousands of hours into building people and as a business owner, you don’t want to keep on doing the same thing and starting over because the great ones are leaving.
We’re in the skill set game. We’re in the skill set game as an entrepreneur, as a business owner, as someone who wants to do deals as a real estate investor.
If you don’t work on gaining the skill sets you need to succeed, things aren’t gonna get any better!
Listen learn more about the importance of skills and what skills you need to learn to become successful as an entrepreneur!
We all have big goals in life and reasons for doing what we’re doing. My goal is to help as many people as I can in the best ways I can, and that’s what keeps me going.
Listen to learn more about my big why, my goals, and my passion, and how my business is helping me get to where I want to be!
People may have many different reasons to give when they’re asked why they haven’t started, but it ultimately comes down to one thing, and that’s fear. The fear of failure, rejection, or whatever it may be, it’s always tied to fear and fear triggers negative emotions.
Watch this video to learn more about these fears and a simple action plan you can use to help yourself overcome them!

The buy and hold strategy is the biggest myth in real estate.

In this video, we’re reviewing and analyzing a potential deal we have in Cape Coral and we’re taking you through the decision-making process.
In our business today, we don’t just do wholesaling. We have a lot of different strategies we use in our investments and seller financing is one of them, which I learned a lot from Mitch Stephen’s book, My Life & 1,000 Houses: The Art of Owner Financing.
If you’re considering buying a rental property, picking the market will be just as important as the property you’re going to buy. There are many factors to consider before you lock your investment in and you have to make sure you don’t miss any of them!

We met a while back through the meetups we have here in Florida and we’ve always hit it off. We have been working together and I want him to share his story!

Quotables
“Real estate agents study to get their license, they sign up for a real estate brokerage, and they have access to leads and the MLS. They basically have way more access to deals, they have more access to that than an ordinary person.”
“As we started investing out of state, the key to our success is real estate agents.”
“If we can find a good agent, they have plenty of connections. Since they’re making money on our deal through commissions, they’re very happy to refer us to their connections.”
“If you have the right realtor that has actually done more than 10 or 15 transactions in their career, then they must know a little bit about how to find value, what the property is worth, what it’s not worth, what it’s worth when it’s fixed up, or what it’s worth all beat up.”
“It’s really important to get a realtor’s opinion especially when you’re investing out of state or if you’re just getting started.”
“The assignment fee is just the profit from a wholesale deal.”
“That just shows you that agents still can make you a lot of money if you know how to treat them and do what you say, and you eventually give them business so you can work together with them and you can make profit off each other.”
There’s so much more to real estate than just the money you can make. 84% of real estate agents say that they are happy with their job and if you wanna get on board the happy train, this video is for you.
Watch this video to find out the 5 steps to get started, why they’re important to follow, and what you should do depending on the path you’re going to choose!

Quotables
“84% of real estate agents say that they are happy with their job.”
“Well, it’s a pretty cool career. It turns out you can actually meet a lot of good people, you get the satisfaction of helping people buy or even sell their house, you get to be your own boss and set up your own schedule, you can travel and go into really extravagant houses, and the pay is not bad.”
“The median earnings of a realtor is about $51K per year and the highest 10% of real estate agents make $110K or more.”
“If you really just wanna get to the investor status or a homebuyer or a wholesaler, you actually don’t need to do all these steps, but I highly recommend at this point, there’s just so much competition, to get your real estate license even if you want to be an investor, flipper, wholesaler, buy and hold.”
“Shadow a realtor or a real estate investor for a day or a few hours to make sure that you like this stuff. Make sure that it is for you.”
“Just because you see it on TV or you see someone on Instagram or Youtube killing it, does not mean you’re gonna kill it because your heart, you don’t like it that much. You drive around, you don’t like houses, you don’t like talking to people - there could be a million reasons why you don’t like it.”
“Find someone in your area that’s a real estate investor or a real estate agent and just ask them, “Hey, can I work for you for free for one day or a couple of hours? I just wanna see what it’s like”. If you ask about 10 people, you should be able to get at least 1 to say yes.”
“Take a pre-licensing course which usually requires a certain amount of hours that you need in a classroom setting to then make you eligible for your state exam.”
“Some states are easier than others. Florida happens to be a really tough state so I highly recommend you pay attention in your course so you can actually study and pass.”
“It’s okay to take it more than once. Sometimes, it’s not that easy and I’ve heard many great realtors take it 3 or 4 times before they actually pass the exam, so don’t feel bad if you fail the first time.”
“Sign up with a brokerage and preferably choose a brokerage that has a team or a good functioning team.”
“Just because you get your license does not mean that the flood gates open and all of a sudden people are telling you to list their property, help them buy houses or help them rent houses. That’s not really how it works.”
“Once you become licensed in real estate and you pass your exam, you have to sign up to a brokerage so your license can be activated and you can have access to the MLS.”
“If you’re gonna do that and go to a brokerage, I would at least interview 5-7 brokerages and pick one that you see a dynamic team and there’s opportunity for you to learn from a top producing agent or agents that can help you get leads, learn how to talk to sellers and buyers, go on appointments, and get more deals.”
“You can do the same five steps but all you’re gonna do differently at the end is either go on your own and learn how to wholesale real estate, that would be the one thing I recommend for you. Learn how to find an off-market property or motivated seller, make them an offer, and you could sell it for a profit.”
“The other route you could take is instead of going through it by yourself, you can join a team that’s not a real estate brokerage, that’s just a wholesale or real estate investing team and you can become an acquisitions or dispositions agent.”
When I started in real estate many years ago, I was doing foreclosures and short sales, and I thought that was the normal market. We were coming back from a recession and that’s why there were tons of recessions for years, but somewhere along the way, they stopped.
There were no more foreclosures and definitely not much short sales either, and that’s when I realized that there is no such thing as a normal market! What was normal before and what is normal now are very different and they will always be different.

In this video, I am giving you the 5 steps to build wealth from $0, just like many other people did. It’s time to change the way you do things so you can build a better future for yourself!
In the years that I have been in real estate, I’ve experienced being told that the market is at its “all-time high”, and that I should be selling now or I might regret it later. I’ve also listened to advice like that and sold whatever I could at the time and while I made good money from doing it, I could’ve made more if I held onto them and sold them today.
The real estate market is always changing but we are not seeing a possibility for a crash anytime soon. The housing market is about to go up and it cannot be a better time for you to get involved.
A lot of us who get into real estate and build passive income don’t actually get into it until we’re older or we get into situations that force us to find more creative ways to earn money. There’s nothing wrong with starting in your 20’s, 30’s, or even your 40’s, but imagine how much more you can make if you start at 18?
I started pretty early in my journey as an investor and I have made a lot of mistakes along the way too. In this video, I am talking about what advice I wish I would’ve gotten when I was 18, the advice that I gave my 18 year old sister, and the 10 steps you need to take to start building your wealth, may you be a teenager or older!
Have you ever wondered how a lot of investors are able to get hundreds of deals done annually? You must be thinking, “they must have a lot of money to invest”, but that’s not always the case!
Many investors like myself use OPM or other people’s money to get our deals and build our portfolio. It is possible to have a multi-million dollar portfolio and not use any of your own money for any of them - and that’s how you create wealth.
Getting started in real estate can be challenging, especially when you don’t know what or how to do things you have to do, like talking to investors. A lot of people will tell you how to get deals or where to find them, but how do you move forward to the next step?
When I started years ago, I had no idea how I would talk to investors either. I was just so desperate that when I called my first investor, I went in without anything but my deal in mind. It got me the deal, but it isn’t the right way to do it!
Why do you want that nice car, the new pair of shoes, or that $15K watch? Why are we pretending to be rich? What do we get out of it?
Come to think of it, the real reason why we want these things aren’t the reasons we think. If you dig deeper, it always comes around to one thing - impressing other people.
Let’s be real, you’re not supposed to be spending your hard earned money for other people, you’re supposed to be spending it for yourself!
Pretending to be rich can make you broke and that’s what this video is all about! Watch and learn about what it really is that makes us want to impress others and how we can flip the script and impress ourselves instead!

Listen now to learn how you can make more successful friends, even when you’re nowhere near their level yet!

Knowing if a relationship will be beneficial involves the two parties. What are some of the things you look out for in your seller to know if they are a good fit for you?

In this episode, we will focus on prospect commitment and transition questions. Transition questions are those questions asked by the sellers that can influence their decision. Is there
any question you’d have for me that can help you make a good decision? That’s a transition question that lets the seller know you’re also focused on them. It’s also important to let them know that a no is as fine as a yes. Comment below some transition questions you’ve used to get an offer? Always remember that if you ask a transition question and they ask ‘what’s the number?’ It means you haven’t completed some of the important steps on the checklist. Make sure you thoroughly go through your sales process to ensure you do not miss out any important step that may affect the whole process.

Time and money are the major factors that influence your seller’s decision. So, Can you get them to sign? How can you make an offer that works for both of you? Simply put, they want their money “sooner”. How does Raul close a deal with customers who are working according to “faster time, more money” concept? No, you don’t

In today’s episode, Raul talks about the importance of getting a yes or a no before you send your creative offer. What do you do if your offer is less than what the seller put up? Of course not, that doesn’t mean you can’t close the deal. When would you offer a seller finance? Def not before you get the yes or no. Why? What’s the most you can offer a seller? It’s always important to not go over what you’re offering just cause the seller needs to pay up the bank or you feel you need to close the deal. Occasionally, maybe you can. No, we’re not talking about losing the deal but other ways to close the deal with both parties winning. You can create a buffer. Do you want to know when and why you should give a creative offer? Then listen to Raul give a vivid breakdown in this episode.

What are your objectives with seller finance? In this episode, Raul talks about his two objectives with seller finance. Long term and low down payment. The longer you can get the loan for and the lower down payment you can get, the better it is. What are you, as the investor, supposed to do to make it work? As an investor, your goal is to make it work for you. Why? If it works for you, then it’ll work for the seller. So after the initial agreement, do you send options to them or ‘coerce’ to take a better one?
Of course, you’ve got the options but you need to be able to sell these objectives good enough to close the sale. Give options because when you gave people options, they choose.

Alex Pardo is a family guy, entrepreneur, real estate investor, coach, adventurer, sports enthusiast, and love helping people.He is the founder of FlipEmpire.com and its parent company, Creative RE-Solutions, LLC, and have flipped well over 300 properties.
He graduated from college in 2002 with a Finance and M.I.S. degree, and went to work for General Electric's Financial Management Program (in their Consumer Finance division). At the time, he had aspirations of becoming a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but sometime during his third month on the job, after working an average of 75 hours a week, he quickly realized that he wasn't going to create the lifestyle he envisioned working for someone else. He completed my two-year commitment to the company, and fired his bosses in January 2005. A few months later, he went backpacking around Europe & Africa with a few buddies, and while partying in Ibiza, Spain, he received a call from a friend who invited him to a "Marketing for Deals" boot camp that coming month.That was his "fork in the road". He had financed my 3-month trip on my credit card, was in debt, and had no income. The cost of the event was $997, and after a few minutes of internal debate, he bought the ticket, and booked his flight. He had committed to start a real estate business, and was going to make it happen one-way or the other. Less than two months after that boot camp, he closed my first deal and made $44,000 (which almost replaced his income with GE)!
Key Takeaways:
‘Don’t make big business decisions based on what you see others do’.
Alex shares a bit about how he got started in a ‘wholesaling’ business at age 12. How did he learn about real estate and did he get his first deal? In college, Alex realized that he wanted to be a CEO and run his own business. He began to self educate about real estate by reading books, watching materials and using other important tools to learn more about running a real estate business. What are some self practical things Alex has taken from the self development journey to become a real estate investor? Alex talks about the importance of figuring out things and people that work for you and with you. Keeping habits that fit not just his schedule but also empowers him and his choices. Why does Alex think it’s important to invest in reasonable business relationships? Alex says that understanding the difference between people who are “how can I help” v “what can I receive” will go a long way in cultivating healthy business and personal relationships.
What’s going on in Alex’s business world? He has been wholesaling for the past 15yrs but it wasn’t until 2011 that he began to share tasks with other people that could help. When Alex began to include people on his team, he had about 8 people but after a while, he began to rethink the necessity of 8 teams members and that was when he made the cut to 4. What does Alex think about Small team v big team in wholesaling? Every business and its owner have a model and every decision taken has to fit that model. So you have to ask, What do I want for my business and why? Whether you opt for a big team or a small team, make sure you hire the right people for the right roles because hiring the wrong people is worse than not hiring anyone at all. A big teams doesn’t mean more money and neither does a small team mean less money.
Why did Alex start a mastermind? Alex believes that it is a vehicle and tool that helps him do what he’s most passionate about. Nothing beats working with the right people and helping them achieve their goals. Also, being part of a community that values you is very important. How does Alex view value? Alex advices that if you are investing in yourself and you’re paying to be in a room, make sure you’re not with people who are not willing to pay to be in that room. What’s Alex’s next big thing after Corona? What will Alex do if he had to start from the beginning with just $500.

Brett Buras is a real estate investor who leverages his marketing expertise to create off-market, discounted real estate opportunities for his company and other real estate investors resulting in nearly 100 real estate transactions - buy and hold, buy and flip and wholesaling. Brett is also the owner and founder of Buras Property Investments, Montgomery Holdings and Superior Real Estate Solutions.Key takeaways:
‘You have to be really careful with the trends sway in this biz. There’s always a new wave - cold calling, texting, emails - but you have to pick something that’s good for your business and your personality, and stick with it.’ Brett quit to college to make his innovative idea for New Orleans a reality. Just like nearly every other investor, he made some money and lost some but, he still remained dedicated. How did Brett get started in wholesaling? After the crash, he left real estate -where he was focused mainly on rentals- to sales and marketing. He spent 8yrs in marketing and before he got introduced to wholesaling. What helped Brett take that leap after the crash? How did Brett begin his journey as a wholesaler? He started studying about wholesaling from books and it took a while, about 3 months, before he got his first deal. What does his business look like right now? He and his wife manages the business, virtually. How has Brett and his wife continued to create a synergy that lets them separate work and family but, still crush both of them? Brett talks about the importance of considering and respecting each other’s perspective. What are some of the mistakes Brett has made on his journey as a wholesaler? He didn’t give people room to grow because of the kind of expectations he had from them. Brett asserts that although it might be scary having people who are not as perfect as you want working on a high transactional business, committing to their growth goes a long way in ensuring your own business growth. How does Brett seal the deal with his potential sellers? Brett talks about mindset and how important it is to know you have no control over a seller only an influence. Why do you need a mentor? Having a lot of energy without a mentor is almost as good as useless. You need someone who will teach you to channel that energy to close your deals. However, you’ve got to remember that good things take time and posed with the current situation, you shouldn’t let the after effects of the pandemic coerce you to quit.

In this episode, Raul shares tips on how to make profit from that business you have successfully started.
Key takeaways:
Sometimes, it’s not about starting that business, it’s about how to run that business passionately and make it profitable (for both you and the business). In this episode, you’ll learn how to make more money by utilizing licensed real estate agents in your business. Why is having the necessary or right individuals in your real estate not enough to keep your finances positive? How can you make your business profitable while letting go of some of the “supposed” right individuals and tools? You should effectively review your business expenses, so you are not doing something or keep someone that does not give you profit. How can a different wholesale system change the trajectory of your real estate profit? What is the one shift Raul made in his business that made it capitalizable? He began with by going virtual with his team and he hired real estate agents to make profit from bringing profit. He took his business overseas, effectively reviewed everything and everyone connected with the business, and that cut his expenses and increased productivity in his wholesale business. Remember, not everything or every skill you spend your money on creates or brings back profit to your business.

Brian Manley is a real estate investor who has been actively involved in the real estate world for more than 5 years. He continues to focus on the digital part of real estate while closing deals and helping others close their deals too!
Key takeaways:
Brian transitioned from a job with the a call centre to pharmaceutical sale. With that transition, he got a little bit of freedom and began to think maybe he didn’t have to 9-5pm. So how did Brian get started in real estate? He was hired to build a new territory but, they found someone who had more experience and was going to take less money than what he and his pals were asking. So, he got fired. However, when things change, you either adapt or you fail and, Brian adapted. That was when he began to think real estate. How did Brian get started in real estate? He dabbled with rentals and then, fix and flips. He and his partner’s first flip cost 405k and they had no experience. However, even though they didn’t lose immediately they lost about 40k because of the “agent” they got the first one from. One of the important things is that although he started as an inexperienced investor, lost a lot of money, he kept on going to the next play and learning from all his mistakes. What does Brian business look like now? With a virtual team consisting of a CFO, acquisitions managers, an agent and four VA’s, Brian and his team continue to manage and close deals in locations near and far away. Why did Brian go completely virtual? He decided to go virtual when he got a call for a deal although he was so far away, he made sure to not lose that deal because of location. You need to also understand and appreciate the importance of masterminds. How did Brian get started with PPC for his real estate business? Brian states that as a startup, if you don’t have the money to do ads, just don’t do it. It’s all about being completely dedicated to what you do and being able to financially invest what you can in what you do. What are some things Brian says you need to invest your money for your real estate business? You need to invest in things like website, a unique website and PPC and CPC if you can. What is Brian’s take on social platforms like Facebook? It’s pretty cheap and sometimes, anything that’s cheap the more you’ve got to decipher the ads by pushing through. What does Brian say about cash flow? With a hundred million dollars, what does Brian think? He gives some really good insight on what you can do to improve your business with or without a hundred million dollars! Should you drive for dollars? What is Brian’s advice to real estate investors on closing their first deal? Don’t get hung up on trying to convince someone to seek their house. Find someone that has a problem and wants you to fix it! Don’t forget, you need to create that freedom for yourself so you can focus on stuff with higher ROI.

Follow Raul on:
Jared Ryan Piper is a Real Estate Investor in Phoenix, AZ. Jared is a wholesaler, selling off-market properties to other real estate investors at below market value. He also fix and flips properties and owns a rental portfolio in the Phoenix area. He also holds an active real estate license in the state of Arizona.
Key takeaways:
How does someone who invests in wholesaling, fix and flips and rentals go on vacation for up to three months at a time? JR is not just a realtor but a lowkey, strategic realtor. He makes a calculated approach to things in order to ensure he creates value wherever he goes. From battling drug addiction to sleeping in his car, how did JR build his successful empire? JR shares the importance of being committed to the process and staying focused on his goals. What exactly makes relationship matter more than location in the real estate world? How was JR able to build a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio from just watching someone else do it? Building relationships and staying connected with other like-minded investors matter a lot because you do not know where that next lead or JV partner will come from. The uncertainty in real estate is just like jumping off a cliff but you’ve got to trust that the parachute will open so, don’t be too conservative or else, you’ll lose lots of money. How was JR able to buy his first rental, with his last cash, for $20k and still remain richer than he had ever been? A good investment will always be of great value. Why is it disrespectful to go back or re-trade a deal? JR never re-trades a deal no matter how compelling the extra cash is. It is not only disrespectful to the buyer but also to your business and you end losing more than just the cash. It’s not always easy to get to where you want to be but it is doable, so don’t give up!

Brandyn Schwalm is a real estate entrepreneur who after doing 50 rehabs in 2017, all virtual, got completely worn out from flipping and focuses primarily on wholesaling.
Key takeaways:
The first thing to know about every business, especially real estate, is success doesn’t come overnight. Since he was 18, Brandyn adopted the entrepreneur mindset. How did Brandyn transition to real estate from network marketing? How was Brandyn able to fund his business, when he got started, with a little over $1,000? How was Brandyn able to keep his business moving during this covid period? Business is not just about the person that formed it, but also the members that give it their value. What was one of Brandyn’s biggest challenges, in wholesaling, when he got started? Although it may seem like an “unimportant” factor, paying yourself is a very delicate subject in the real estate. Brandyn got obsessed with making, at least, $20k-$30k per month. How was he able hurdle that challenge? What strategy does Brandyn use to close deals? You should learn how to buy homes that are subject to existing mortgage. How did Brandyn go from $800 in his bank account to $15k? Paying attention to calculated risks and confidently taking those calculated risk will definitely aid in increasing your earnings. How is Brandyn dealing with employees during the covid period? Hiring based on demand is a very important, but ignored area in wholesaling. You don’t need 50 people before you start making profit. What does Brandyn’s journey to 9 figures look like right now? What is the smartest way to buy rentals without much money? If you are looking to get a deal with only a couple hundred dollars available, then you should listen to how Brandyn does it! Remember, in real estate, it is very important to be around people who have similar goals as you, because that influences you to get going.
