In this episode I discuss tips on how to deal with emotional Realtors and their sellers.  This came from a Facebook post where a listing agent was “triggered” and therefore offended by a low offer made on one of her listings. I must admit that I was a bit surprised that a supposed “professional” would make such a post on Facebook.  She was basically saying don’t make offers on my listing unless th...

If you are not asking yourself this question each and every time you stop to peek at a shiny investment opportunity you are doing yourself an injustice.  In today’s world, millions of “things” compete for our attention, and investment opportunities are no exception.  I wasted a whole bunch of time chasing each and every lead, regardless of whether or not I thought it would pan out.  This is in par...

What is more important?  Doors or Dollars? This mindset can cause lack of focus on profitability, and when we lose focus, we lose money!  People with lots of doors don’t necessarily have lots of money, there are many investors out there right now focused on building numbers of doors, hoping that as they scale the size of the portfolio, magically profitability will catch up with them.  The old sayi...

I find it troubling that investors waste countless hours preparing and delivering offers only to have them quickly dismissed or flat out rejected without any feedback on why the rejection was necessary.  Over the years of talking to lots of investors, I learned that those who have a higher ratio of accepted offers share certain traits and practices with their peers who find success in the offer pr...

This week I talk about quick and easy no money down deals, in fact I am writing an ebook on this very topic which will be available in the next few weeks.  No money deals are in fact possible, although many folks don’t believe this is the case for them.  Part of the reason many people have difficulty in structuring these type deals is because of the motivation level of the seller.  Unmotivated sel...

Unfounded speculation is the most common way that “great deals” become bad ones.  By unfounded I mean that the parties involved failed to thoroughly complete their due diligence.  This happens to both investors and deal sponsors.  Far too many passive investors fail to thoroughly understand the investments they participate in. This episode applies to investors and sponsors.  Investors for the sake...

We tend to over complicate everything, that’s the truth!  I was most likely one of the best examples of this phenomenon.  In my defense, I used to work for the government, perhaps that’s where I picked up this bad habit.  To those already started or getting started, please take note of a few tips to help you keep it simple: Don’t buy too many tools.  How many are too many?  If you have not used a...

Below is a list of some of the things to be considered when writing out a budget.  This is g...

In this episode, I discuss limiting beliefs that hold good people back from accomplishing great things.  As Jim Rohn says “we get paid for bringing value to the marketplace”.  This applies to EVERY business all over the world, not just real estate investors. Having the proper focus and mindset geared toward solutions instead of problems is one element that separates allows us to see, feel and expe...

The facts are that far too many people are having trouble getting to the finish line when doing a flip these days. Granted, this does not apply to everyone, but it does apply to a large number of flippers. Some say the sky is falling, others blame the President, the weather, the Realtors or Wholesaler that sold it to them, but what really matters is a market correction is going to happen, and you...
