Since its inception, Airbnb has been a huge disruptor and gamechanger for investors, and today it shows no sign of slowing down.     Hotels will keep making mistake after mistake, giving this industry more horsepower than ever before. This is one of the best times to jump into this strategy, and the best part - you don't even have to own a home to get started.    Investor and coach, Jorge Contrera...

Millions of corporate workers dream of investing but never take the first step out of fear. Before Mike Simmons became the successful seven-figure investor he is today, he procrastinated for 5 years and missed out on $3 million dollars.    So many people have a ton of excuses for not taking action - no money, time or a fear of what other people would think, but procrastination isn't a victimless c...

In an overheated market, investors have a lot to contend with to stay in business. Lead gen is a struggle because everyone's going to the same watering hole, good deals are hard to come by and every flip is bound to turn into a bloodbath.    What does it take to stay ahead and keep growing your wealth in this environment?    Well today I'm joined by an investor who has 14 years of experience, a wh...

Distressed properties may be hard to come by now, but they will be plentiful in the near future. When the market turns, there'll be hundreds of properties ripe for acquisition. If you get caught up in buying assets in this speculative market, you'll have no capital to take advantage of this opportunity. How do you move in a market with hedge funds gobbling up entire neighborhoods? What is the crit...

Most investors are looking for a model that isn't as energy draining as flips and wholesaling, or as risky as the stock market, but we never really think of new builds. We all see builders and think what they do is untouchable, that it's too expensive, and it involves too many moving pieces.    But what if you could make it happen with one project, one set of contractors and one job site? In today...

Everything we're seeing in the market right now - the inflation, speculation and irrational investing is the sign of our times. We're in a super bubble, a circumstance rivaled only by the lead up to The Great Depression.    Before you think that the government is worried about the inflation hitting your dollars, you have to remember that the Fed created this situation and thrives on it. Those who...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - anyone who believes that this market will keep going up is either reckless or downright delusional.    We're staring down the barrel of the next Great Depression, and what's coming won't be pretty, but there are still many investors exposing themselves to unnecessary risk.    How do you increase your chance of success in this knife edge market? How do w...

A lot of investors stay in the lane of what they know and when the environment around them changes, they fail to act and pivot. This is the most dangerous market to operate in this way. Monetary policy, inflation and war - these are just a few of the factors putting massive pressure on the economy and our investments.    You don't need a crystal ball to see where we're headed financially, and if y...

It's hard to imagine a wholesale deal ever making more money than a flip, but when you follow the first rule of wealth, anything is possible.  At the heart of a successful wholesale strategy is one fundamental truth - if you can solve people's problems, your business instantly becomes more valuable. Jeremy and Shelly Beland aren't approaching real estate the way a typical investor or agent would,...

Everyone's an investor these days, but when it comes to really solving a problem and truly setting themselves up for wealth, they are competing in a crowded market - swimming in red, shark-infested waters.     There is an emerging, blue ocean strategy packed with motivated seller leads that no one is pursuing - senior homeowners. As parents reach old age, people have to deal with the challenges of...

If you've worked hard, made smart choices and built some wealth, it's more than likely that your kids will never have to worry about money a single day in their lives.  But here's the problem:  Giving them everything and not instilling the right values in them WILL destroy them. It's easy to give them the keys to the money, what's really hard is teaching them to respect it and understand how it's...

If you're not really paying attention, the economy looks pretty great right now, but if you're a student of history, there's nothing to celebrate.    Signs of a looming economic storm are everywhere, and contrary to what many believe, there's nothing different about this market from the times before the Great Depression, the dot-com bubble and The Great Recession.    Economic cycles are inevitable...

Who we are is what we do every single day. The rules of success are simple: our actions are either constructive or destructive, effective or ineffective - there is no in between.    Most people don't have a framework or structure for their habits, so they stay stuck, frustrated, and wanting to achieve their goals without knowing how.   How do we break our bad habits and start focusing on the actio...

From the day we take our first breaths in this world, we're to work hard, do what we're told, conform and give up control.     We're conditioned to buy into a broken mentality and accept a set of rules that will never, ever make us wealthy or free. The banks, the government, the financial advisors - it's all designed with one intention, to make us give up control of our money.    How do we break a...

In the world of wealth-building, having the money to invest is a big part of the equation but not the entire formula.    Once we have the capital to deploy, where we put it and who we partner with is equally important and quite truthfully, what will make or break us. If we don't make accurate decisions and pick the right investing vehicle, our money will flee from us.    How do we determine how to...

Everyone gets into real estate for financial freedom - and while it can absolutely provide that, many of us get lost along the way, and remanifest the job trap we were trying to escape in the first place.    What are some of the unproductive mindsets that put us in this position?    How do we turn our investing from a trap to a true vehicle of freedom? In today's episode, RealEstateInvestor.com CE...

In this crazy, highly-debated and often confusing real estate market, it can be hard to know what to do to be in a great spot once the smoke clears. Do we flip homes, acquire commercial properties, or do we look to a niche that's recently faced some challenges?    My guest has been faced with this decision a couple of times - starting in 2008, when he entered a melting real estate market as a form...

The journey to your dream isn't a straight line - in fact, it's anything but. Success comes with a long list of failures, stumbles, crashes, and critical points of transition.    This was also the reality of my journey.    I had to get comfortable with pivots in order to get to my purpose. I found that you're either one step away from a failure or an inch closer to a breakthrough, and you only fin...

The greatest thing fighting against our progress and success isn't our fears or our habits - it's what we think we know that just isn't so.    One of the most toxic and devastating things that can happen to any of us is arrival syndrome, a sneaky ailment that will rot us from the inside out if left unchecked.    As soon as we believe that we know everything there is to know about something, as soo...

From childhood, most of us are taught that the traditional rat race is all there is to life, and that the only way to earn money is to trade hours for dollars.  My guest broke away from this mindset at age 16, and today at 25, he's financially free - generating income outside of the rat race.  How did a young man break out of a scarcity mindset and change his financial trajectory in his early twen...

Land investing is one of the most lucrative and headache-free ways to work towards financial freedom, and one factor makes it an amazing niche. You don't have to develop land to make money from it. You can build wealth without construction, zoning or tenants.     My guest today started investing in land and achieved financial freedom in 8 months, and in this episode he's going to share how he did...

When you are a dreamer, you can always visualize what you want, but manifesting that dream is another thing entirely. You will face a ton of resistance, and you will be told many lies about your capabilities. How do you stop believing these lies and truly start believing in yourself?    My dream to become a pro snowboarder began in a garage, and I went through a lot to achieve my dream - including...

15 years ago, while people were spending recklessly in a seemingly good market, Nancy Wallace-Laabs saw signs that a storm was coming, and pivoted into investing.    Today, the red flags she saw back then are very much present and hard to ignore, and while everyone wears their rose-colored glasses, she's pivoting accordingly.    If you're paying attention, you can see that the market is heated, sp...

At the age of 19, Jason Ferruggia started a pioneering fitness business that earned him 6-figures and gave him a life most people could only ever dream of.    Then he lost it all, and had to start from scratch. How did he rebuild and set himself up for a major business comeback?    Achieving success is only half the story. In order to keep it, we have to address the internal barriers and limiting...

Traditional car buying is broken. Buy them or lease them, the fact remains that you're putting money into someone else's bank for depreciating assets.    Hidden behind the sparkle and smell of a new car, is a trap of monthly payments and lost financial potential, but what if you could do it all differently? What if you could buy your dream car, AND get all your money back without saving more, work...
