Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

Consistency is extremely important when it comes to making a living with real estate. If you want to do this full time, like I know a lot of you do, you’re going to have to gain a certain level of consistency when it comes to doing deals. You can’t close on four contracts one month, and only one contract the next, and expect for that to be workable as your main source of income. That’s why we’ve b...

When people hear words like “private investor money” or “capital,” they start thinking big business: huge commercial buildings, development projects, or huge apartment complexes. But our guest today, Hunter Thompson, is here to tell you how you can raise capital to fund your real estate business. Hunter Thompson and his company, Asym Capital, are all about making money appear for investing. Hunter...

Today, Gavin Timms is going to be talking about something that isn’t very exciting, but makes all the difference when it comes to making deals. That something is follow up. Now, I know following up with sellers tends to be the least exciting part of the whole process, but I’m here today to tell you that over 90% of Gavin’s deals only happen because he does the follow up like he should. Remember, w...

Nothing in life is ever easy, right? The same goes for real estate investing. Luckily, though, there are some tools to make things easier when it comes to your real estate business. Today, we’re going to be taking a close look at one of these tools: Freedomsoft. The Joe McCall Signature Edition of Freedomsoft, available at freedomsoftjoe.com, is loaded with features and tools to help organize and...

I’ve heard a lot of investors say that they really hate working with realtors. I don’t get that at all! If you’re not willing to work with realtors, you’re leaving money on the table. The best thing is, realtors can help you find deals, and they can help you sell deals. Like everything in this business, it comes down to your relationship-building skills. If you can get a realtor on your side, they...

Gavin Timms takes the reins today on a live coaching call with St Louis area investor Mike Hamilton. He’s a member of our new accountability group, and we talk about his experiences investing over the past few years. He learned the hard way how costly it can be to sit on a property for too long. I like to give myself seven days to move a property. Get the property in front of buyers, and you’ll ge...

My students have been coming to me with a lot of deals lately that are, unfortunately, not good deals. And it’s because their offers are too high. So today, I want to talk about the best ways to make cash offers. I get it. The markets are super hot right now, and it can be intimidating to try and make a cash offer. But guess what? You have to get out there and do it. The number one rule in re...

The key to success in real estate investing is marketing. In fact, I often tell people that “we aren’t in the real estate business, we’re in the marketing business.” In order to have a steady flow of income, you’re going to need a steady flow of leads. The way to do this is to talk to five leads every day. It’s really that simple, but you have to make yourself do it. Even if only one or two of tho...

Partnerships are key to success in real estate investing. If you’ve listened to Gavin talk before, you’ve probably heard him say it a million times. He’s never done a single deal by himself. He always works with a partner. So today, he’s going to tell you all about how to find partners, what to look for in a potential partner, and how to take all this information and use it yourself. First of all,...

Sometimes, as real estate investors, we can have a hard time securing a mortgage from the bank. I’ve run into that situation myself in the past. Fortunately, you can use the simple lease option as a way to buy a bigger, better house for you and your family. In my case, the first time I did this, all we had to do was put down one month’s rent as an option deposit. At the end of the three-year lease...

I’m all about showing you guys the best ways to automate and delegate your business. If you’ve listened to the show before, you’ve heard me talk about these things in great detail. But today, we’re going to go back to the basics. Sometimes, we tend to overcomplicate things when it comes to our real estate investing. I’m guilty of it too. It’s easy to think that we need to have all the fancy softwa...

Gavin is on his way back from Birmingham, Alabama, where he just closed on a huge deal. It took about 12 weeks, and he had a lot of problems with the property along the way, but he closed the deal, and he should be looking at about 48-52k in profits. And what’s better, he did the whole thing without ever seeing the property himself. How did he do it? Well, he had a great team on the ground, but ev...

I get asked all the time about wholesaling lease options. These are also known as cooperative assignments or arbitrage lease options. Simply put, this is when you get a lease option agreement and then sign that agreement over to somebody else. Lease options are best for sellers who don’t have enough equity. Maybe they owe too much on the property, or they don’t have the money to fix it up to sell....

What's the #1 rule in real estate? It's not "Location, Location, Location". It's "Make Offers, Make Offers, Make Offers!" This is what this offer is about, and our students have gotten a lot of success from this program. Many of them have made more offers in this challenge than they ever did in a year. They overcome their fear of talking to people and learn what to say to sellers and how to make o...

Today, I’m extremely excited to have Gavin Timms and Dustin Kircher onto the show to talk about a new program, REI Deal Closers. Gavin and Dustin have been working on this program for six or seven weeks now, and they’re really excited to reveal it to you all today. Dustin has been doing real estate since he was in college, when he started working with student parent investors. This is a great stra...

Sometimes, as real estate investors, we can have a hard time securing a mortgage from the bank. Thanks to some personal trouble with the IRS, I’ve run into that situation myself in the past. Fortunately, you can use the simple lease option as a way to buy a bigger, better house for you and your family. In my case, the first time I did this, all we had to do was put down one month’s rent as an opti...

I’m coming at you from my car today, because I had something on my mind that I couldn’t wait to share with you. I’ve never done a deal by myself. I always partner with someone, or hire someone to do stuff for me. It all started when I realized two important things: first, marketing is super important for real estate investing. Second, I don’t like marketing! It finally dawned on me that I couldn’t...

I’d say that 90% of the deals that I see in our partnership program don’t really deal yet, but they’re so close. So in this episode, I’m going to be taking a close look at three deals that were submitted to me in advance and showing you how I would do them differently. The first step, of course, is making those offers. You’ve got to do the marketing, make the offers, and follow up with the sellers...

There are a lot of investment software suites out there, but in my experience, the best one you can use is Propstream. So today we’re going to be talking with Burton Alicando about exactly how Propstream can help you, When Propstream first came out, I was a bit skeptical about it. But then I tried it and realized there was nothing else like it on the market. The sheer amount of data it gives you a...

In this episode, I’m talking to Greg Helbeck about why he focuses his energy on big deals. When we measure success, we talk about volume. We count the number of deals, which can disguise reality. Bigger deals mean bigger profits with less hassle and less work. You can do ten $10,000 deals to make $100,000, or you could do two $50,000 deals. Which do you think is going to be less work? What’s reall...

I like to use scripts when making deals to keep me focused during the conversation. Today, I’m going to show you some of the scripts that I like to use for lease option deals. I really love lease options because of the cash flow. Plus, lease options give me another option when trying to deal with a seller. If my current cash offer is too low, I can always offer to rent for a couple of years and th...

In this episode, I’m going to give you my main seller script that I use for cash deals. It’s super simple, and I’m giving it to you here for free, no strings attached.  Sales is the million dollar skill. If you’re not talking to sellers, you’re not making money.
