Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

As you move into a new market, you’re building rapport and trust with local wholesalers, partners, and investors, so you’ve got to come through with what you promise. If you’re not good at follow up, you’re losing out on potentially tens of thousands of dollars. Gavin and his coaching client, Chris Arnold, are going to rewarm some cold leads from a CRM that Gavin stopped following-up on to prove t...

As a coach, Gavin is pretty focused on getting his coaching clients set up with a system that will help them build the real estate business that supports their dreams. But sometimes his clients run up against real life, and they need to do some adjusting. Nolan shot Gavin a text about a problem that might sound amazing to some of you; he was completely overwhelmed with how many leads he had. Gavin...

After getting off a coaching call about how to succeed in real estate, Gavin wanted to take a minute and address one of the major obstacles that he sees real estate investors running into. He’s seen semi-professional golfers on tour who could go completely pro, but they’re not out there signing big contracts. And it’s for the same reason that real estate investors are just piddling doing mediocre...

Gavin knows his audience would like to hear more cold calls so they can see how to keep the conversation natural and smooth. While Gavin provides scripts to help his coaching students, you don’t need to stick to the script to land a sale. And of course, every conversation isn’t going to be a straight line from A to B where you ask questions and close a sale in fifteen minutes. Listen to his live c...

Some people come into this business to create a job for themselves. They’re out there every day working this business just like they did when they had a W-2. If this is you, Gavin suggests you take a step back and ask yourself: what are you actually trying to do? Create a vision for you and get your foundations down so that you can prepare to scale. The foundations we put in place for your busines...

If you haven’t seen any of Jamil Damji’s Facebook ads, you’re going to want to check them out because they are hilarious. For over 18 years, Jamil has been wholesaling, but he’s mostly done it on the down-low. He wasn’t interested in having his name splashed all over. But now, we are so blessed to watch his talent shine out. He’s launching a nationwide wholesaling franchise called KeyGlee, and he’...

You don’t have to be smart or good-looking, and you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on marketing and virtual assistants to become “stimulus ineligible”. Gavin and I are going to keep it simple and talk about the steps you need to take to make 2021 your best real estate investing year ever. Is it really as easy as investing in marketing, talking to sellers, making offers, and following up?...

The three parts of your real estate business that you need to have in place are: —Marketing —Talking to sellers —Making offers Once these are in place, that’s when then the fourth one kicks in: follow up, follow up, and follow up. It is the most important part of your business. If you’re following our marketing system, you know that Gavin and I recommend that you have five conversations a day, plu...

I absolutely don’t want to knock people who are struggling right now. But if you’re interested in never receiving a stimulus again, I want to help you. There’s a reason we call a job, a J-O-B, or Just Over Broke. Stop living paycheck-to-paycheck. Stop grinding for that W-2 money. Let’s lay out the exact plan you need to follow to guarantee yourself $75,000 a year in income.  I want you to be...

Even though Gavin and I offer coaching programs, we know that some of you don’t need a coach. What you really need is someone to help you set up your systems so that you can plug yourself into it and take off. Gavin is taking half of what he does for his one-on-one clients and offering it as a standalone program. If you’re looking for a better system or any system at all, connect with Gavin. You c...

This podcast was your chance to ask Matt Theriault and me anything about creative financing, and we gave it to you straight. From questions about evicting tenants to whether the bank will repossess a subject-to loan, we clarify any confusion you might have about how creative financing works. If you’ve invested in a few real estate courses, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with all of the informat...

What is it that you want your life to look like? What’s your ultimate outcome? When you have this vision fixed in your mind, it’ll help you push through the mental barriers you and maybe even the people around you will try to throw up constantly. Gavin says deciding on your ultimate “why” is also going to help you fix on a strategy that moves you toward your goals. Some real estate investors want...

Don’t get sidetracked by the news about the retail market. Matt Theriault and I want you to focus on off-market conditions because that’s where real investors play. When we market to sellers, we’re looking for disease, divorce, distress, death, debt, and all of the other reasons that homeowners get desperate to sell. If you’re not marketing correctly in a distressed market, you’re missing these se...

Do you think direct mail is dead? Rick Ginn thinks you’re wrong. Disruptive marketing like texting and cold calling is being legislated out because the public hates them so much. But direct mail is still a legal and acceptable way to get in front of a lead. Rick has spent tens of thousands of dollars testing his Rapid Offer System. He wanted a unique and creative marketing system that engaged pros...

In part 1 of my conversation with Michael Jake, he laid on me a lot of the mistakes that he made through the last recession. If you want to know how to navigate through this next recession, be sure and check out that podcast. Part 2 is all of his advice for newer real estate investors who are learning the ropes. Michael’s been rubbing elbows with real estate legends for years, and he drops names a...

The best investors to learn from right now are those who’ve gone through at least one downturn because they’re the ones who are prepared for the next one. When the country slid into the Great Recession, Michael Jake owned 78 houses, and he was sure he was recession-proof in a military town.  Almost overnight in 2008, Michael’s houses dropped 20% in equity. And that’s when he started to get wo...

Brandon Turner is passionate about teaching others how to invest in real estate so that they can build their dream life. As the author of several real estate investing books and as a podcast host, he’s created reliable content for years that real estate investors turn to on the website Bigger Pockets. But after a conference with some friends, he realized that he needed to level up his business. Th...

Derek Dombeck loves creative deals, so when a friend offered him a defaulted note that he wanted to unload, he jumped at the chance to be in first position. For only $4500, he was poised to take possession of a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house on an acre of land in Wisconsin. But this wouldn’t be the Deals Gone Bad series if something terrible wasn’t about to happen. The first hint of trouble was that...

Nothing is worse than paying too much in taxes, or forgetting to pay your taxes and having the IRS on your tax for back taxes. I could tell you some stories about some of my tax planning mistakes, but I’ll save it and instead let Prime Corporate Services lay down 3 ways you can save on taxes this year. I’ve loved using Prime Corporate Services for 20 years, and I recommend them to all of my client...

In this special episode of the Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast, I talk to my good friend, attorney, and real estate investor Jeff Watson.

We grow the most through the pain because when we figure out that we’ve fallen on our face, we never want to do that again. At the height of the market, before everything crashed in 2006, Brad Weimert bought a couple of multifamily units in Indianapolis, Indiana. Everything looked like it was going to go up forever, and the banks were happy to loan him the money for what he thought was a great dea...

Looping your wife in on a new property is one surefire way to avoid buying a dumpster fire. Jay Adkins learned that when he bought a sob story and a rural home from a down-on-her-luck seller for $6500. Investing in small towns can be a solid way to build a portfolio, but there are some pitfalls you’ll want to avoid. When Jay and Annie bought the house, it wasn’t entirely sight unseen. They did hav...

The mentor of my mentor is Tim Grimmett, a St. Louis area investor since 1999. Earlier this year, TIm purchased a house for $5,000. The kitchen was burned out of the house, but it had good solid bones. He knew it’d only take about $7,000 to get the house into renting condition, and when all was said and done, he could rent the 3 bedroom house for $850. The morning after the closing, Tim woke up an...

For six years, Lisa Even has worked specifically with distressed properties in the Phoenix market. Weird clouds on the title or city violations don’t scare her because those usually mean that the seller is having a harder time getting rid of the property. This particular property was vacant and had a number of city violations, which made it a hot lead because it meant that it wasn’t being taken ca...

Bill Allen has turned house flipping into a 7 figure business with his companies 7 Figure Flip, Flip Hacking Live, and Black Jack Real Estate. He takes pride in the rehab work his company does, so when he was accused of selling a house with rotten siding, he felt like his reputation was at stake.
