Agent Investor Podcast

Working with sellers has always been the cheat code to a profitable real estate business. With recent changes to the real estate transaction, we can’t succeed without generating more listings.   But even if working buyers and sellers was exactly the same, I’d still double down on sellers. Here’s why… Listing appointments bring higher chances of closing deals, faster turnaround times, and more scal...

Inconsistent income is one of the biggest challenges real estate agents face, leaving many on a financial rollercoaster. With transaction volumes down and competition high, agents are increasingly feeling the pinch. Imagine breaking free from this constant grind and building a stable income that pays you even during slower months. Passive income is the answer, and it’s within reach—even if you’re...

Creating seller appointments consistently is challenging for most real estate agents. Which explains why they end up with missed listing and flip opportunities. The agents who thrive in today’s competitive market are the ones who can automate prospecting and lead generation with virtual assistants (VAs).   But here’s the hard truth: most agents aren’t using VAs effectively, or worse, they’re not u...

A majority of real estate agents are trapped on an income rollercoaster, losing thousands without the right guidance to break the cycle.  That’s why mentorship is essential to avoid costly and fast-track your success. Without it, you’re wasting time and missing out on big opportunities. In real estate, time and money are directly tied to success, and not having someone to guide you is one of the b...

In fluctuating markets, agents who rely solely on buyers are missing a vital opportunity to build stable, scalable income. Listings offer constant revenue regardless of market conditions. Yet many agents remain stuck on the unpredictable rollercoaster of buyer-driven transactions. Most agents fail to realize that the key to earning consistent income is controlling inventory by concentrating on lis...

In the current real estate market, a lot of agents and investors are feeling the squeeze. With fewer transactions, high rates, and rising unemployment, the real estate industry is set to face big challenges over the next 12 months. These tough conditions mean that real estate professionals need to adapt fast. Many real estate agents and investors still hope for a big market recovery, but is that r...

Building a real estate team seems like the next logical step when you’re a successful agent looking to grow. But for many people, it’s a move that can quickly turn into a costly mistake if you’re not fully prepared.   The harsh truth is that 90% of real estate teams fail, leaving their leaders disappointed and drained. Many agents jump into building teams without fully grasping the challenges, whi...

Selling homes as a real estate agent can pay the bills, but it won’t make you wealthy. Despite working long hours, closing deals, and chasing commissions, the vast majority of agents are stuck on the financial treadmill—working harder and harder just to maintain their lifestyle, with little to no progress toward true financial freedom.   Many agents believe that if they just work harder, sell more...

Every single year, real estate agents come across hundreds of flip opportunities, but they totally miss them. These missed chances rob you of income and even future wealth. Spotting these opportunities and taking advantage of them is as simple as changing the way agents think about finding deals.   We have to think outside the box and use different strategies to find the deals that suit us best.  ...

Before we can even begin to focus on the actions that drive success, we have to start with our mindset. What we think affects what we can do, and no one knows this more than the highly successful. We may call them high achievers, but they are actually high level thinkers first. Good strategies or a lot of knowledge can’t outpace a bad mindset. Even the best plans won’t work without the right attit...

The path to financial freedom in real estate is clear and easy to follow. Knowing and following this path can help you succeed.   Many real estate agents have ups and downs in their income. Learning how to make steady, passive income can solve this problem. Investing in rental properties can be a great way to generate passive income, and agents have a huge advantage.   Why do agents struggle with...

Mistakes are inevitable, especially when we’re new to the investing game. What’s important is avoiding the mistakes that could cause our downfall before we start getting results.   Learning the fatal mistakes beforehand can make the process daunting and discouraging, but it’s necessary. By side-stepping a lot of the speed bumps, you actually get momentum faster.   What are some of the obvious mist...

You might have heard that social media is a great place to find deals and wondered if it sounds too good to be true. Or at the very least, getting leads through social media is time-consuming, complicated and expensive. Isn't that just a lot of work for little return?   Finding deals on Facebook seems far-fetched, but it’s possible - in fact many investors do it. Some even get these leads for free...

Trying to make it as a real estate agent but having a hard time? The constant ups and downs can be exhausting and stressful. You may have heard about our Agent Partnership Program and thought, "This sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" Many agents struggle with the fear of hidden fees, complex requirements, or feeling like they’re getting the short end of the stick. The idea of partnerin...

Many people believe that sellers only call investors when their houses are falling apart or they can't pay their mortgage. But that's not the whole story. Sellers have lots of different reasons. Knowing these reasons can help you become a better investor. Understanding why a seller wants to sell can help you make better offers and close more deals. What makes sellers pick a quick cash deal over a...

The number 1 thing holding people back from building a real estate empire is money. The truth is: you don’t need a hefty bankroll to kickstart your investing journey. You might believe it takes money to make money, but my journey from zero to flipping over 100 houses a year proves otherwise. I started with nothing—no big capital, just sheer determination and the right strategies. Could you start b...

If you’re tired of riding the real estate income rollercoaster, investing is the only way out of the stress of sales.   What holds people back is thinking we need big money to start. What if we could do it with absolutely nothing?   Contrary to what people believe: it’s possible to flip houses and start building wealth with zero upfront cash. You DON'T need a pile of cash to start getting investme...

The recent NAR Lawsuit Settlement drives home one important point: real estate agents who don’t invest aren’t safe. They should be worried.   Without the solid safety net of income-earning assets, you’ll always be a victim to the ups and downs of the market. With just one investing deal, you can protect your income and never have to worry about shrinking commissions or industry disruptions.   Many...

In school, we learn a lot about a multitude of subjects, topics and concepts in order to succeed. While it worked in that space, it can hold us back in our careers, especially as real estate investors.   Because of how we were taught, we end up gathering more information than we need in order to get started. We think we need to read every book, absorb all the knowledge and go to all the events to...

One of the critical components of being a successful investor is finding deals, but not all deal sources are created equal. In fact, some of the most common places to find deals, I wouldn’t recommend.   As solopreneurs, how we spend our time is directly connected to the results we get. Anytime we’re focused on the wrong lead sources, we’re not getting the most value out of our time. That doesn’t m...

Many agents are tired of the rollercoaster ride that small multifamily took them on in 2023 - including us. The constant stress of dealing with high-risk ventures, the disappointing returns that didn't match the effort invested is a far cry from the passive income dream.   Managing these units demands constant effort, hardly constituting the 'passive income' dream. And let's not forget the lurking...

If you’re looking for investing opportunities, you’d think the MLS is the right place to find them. Hundreds of properties and motivated sellers at your fingertips, and as an agent, you have front row access.   Well, that’s not the case…   Relying on the MLS to find deals might just be the worst way to run an investing business, especially in this market. While some people can certainly find great...

Selling real estate can be lucrative, but it's far from a consistent income stream. Some months might bring in substantial earnings, while others leave us scraping by.   It's a constant juggling act - trying to maintain a comfortable lifestyle while navigating the unpredictable nature of the market.   Diversifying our income streams is the key to overcoming this challenge. By supplementing our ear...

9 out of 10 conversations I have with agents go something like this: “I’ve read the book, attended seminars, listened to the podcasts, but I don’t know what the actual first step to investing is”.   They like selling real estate, but they are frustrated with the income rollercoaster. They know they want to start acquiring assets, but they don’t know how to take action.   They think the thing keepi...

Real estate sales can certainly earn you a great living, but can you easily retire on transactions alone? I don’t believe so…   Many would argue that if an agent sells many homes and saves the money they make, they can gain financial freedom. While that’s true, only the elite of the elite can achieve that. With investing on the other hand, you can be average and still guarantee wealth and retireme...
