Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

Every year or two, Gavin and I put on a workshop, unlike any other workshop you’ve ever been to. The last time we did one was before COVID, so we’re way overdue. This one’s going to be live and in-person and we’re only letting 12 people in. In fact, we just sent the details out to our email list and the event’s already almost full. I like to call this workshop a massive implementation workshop bec...

Tim Oppelt’s been in the real estate industry for a long time and his YouTube channel has a bit of a controversial angle to it. He got on my radar a few weeks ago when he put out a video about the harsh reality of what goes on in the wholesaling business. Tim did his first deal in 2014 and it’s been a lucrative side hustle for him. He works full-time at Carrot, a company that makes websites for re...

Jesse Mills has a unique twist that I’ve never seen anyone do before. His strategy takes away a lot of the headaches and hassles that you usually get when you’re trying to do a creative financing deal. Jesse was in th...

Who do you hang out with and spend time with the most? I’m not talking about your spouse or your family, the most important people. I’m talking in terms of business acquaintances or friends and the people you socialize with. If you’re doing deals, you don’t want to be hanging out with people who think real estate is some kind of scam, or that you’ll never be able to quit your full-time job. You al...

Here, I’m sharing exactly what I would do and the key is really to start taking action. Back when I was a professional student, I’d spend way...

I was talking to a friend of mine recently about how land investors are lazy. This isn’t a bad thing, because a lot of us are used to sending out blind offers and neutral letters to a downloaded list of landowners. It’s all a numbers game. But I’ve been thinking about this and I have some observations. I’ve been teaching my land course now for over a year and the people who are doing the most deal...

A question I frequently get on my coaching calls is how to manage real estate investing while working a full-time job. Doing real estate on the side is a challenge and it’s tough to balance other commitments like family and kids. I quit my job back in 2009 and even though it’s been a while, I can still relate. There’s no easy answer, but you have to ask yourself how badly you want to succeed. It’s...

Having multiple streams of income is really important for a lot of reasons. When I first got started in business and was working for myself, I got into real estate and started doing deals. Then, I got asked by others to help teach them how to do what I was doing. Although I didn’t invent the strategy, what I was doing with lease options was unique at the time. Before I knew it, I was making more m...

I’ve been doing a lot of land deals lately and the reason why I love land is because of the cash flow. You can get even more by using owner financing. Owner financing is a great strategy to use, especially on rural vacant land. In many cases, the land is better than houses when it comes to cash flow because you don’t have the hassles that come with rental properties. Our current economy is looking...

When Chris and I first started working together, he owned a chain of car wash mechanic shops, and he was...

Most people who buy courses on how to start businesses fail because they don’t take action. Real estate takes a ton of hard work and determination. You have to do a lot of marketing and make a ton of offers and you can’t give up before you start seeing results. Some people like to complain that wholesaling is hard and blame the real estate gurus for telling people that it’s easy. I say people need...

Every once in a while, I talk about my faith and the Lord. I’m very active in my church and I love the friends and family that we have there.
