Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

In this Do or Die series, I’m going to be helping my brother-in-law and his friend set up a land business. We’re going to cover marketing, talking to sellers, making offers, and start flipping vacant land deals. We’ll first talk strategy, and I’ll teach them how the land business works, kind of what the steps are, how you find the deals, how you make the offers, and how you sell the deals. Then we...

If you want friends, you're in the wrong business. If you want a friend, go get a dog. If you want to make money, you’ve got to make offers. and I'm going to show you real simple, fast, easy ways to do so. Here, I walk through exactly what I would do to find good leads, how to calculate pricing, and how I would contact and talk to sellers. Don’t worry about whether they’ll say yes or no or if you’...

In this podcast, I talk about the 4 things you should be focusing on instead of focusing on revenue. I learned this from another guy on YouTube, Dan Bolton, and I have to give credit where credit is due. But I love how he kind of condensed this and this is something that I've tried before. —Profit —Recurring revenue or cash flow —Cash in the bank or net worth —Target monthly income But it's not ju...

It’s really important to understand the importance of making offers. If you can get into the habit of making 1 or 2 offers a day, I’m telling you guys, you will do deals. It's as simple as that. It's not a complicated business. It doesn't matter if you're doing commercial apartments, multifamily houses, land, whatever. If you want to do more deals, make more offers. If you’re not making somebody m...

It doesn't matter how bad your credit is, you can still do deals. I did a lot of deals, even with bad credit. Three years ago, I had a huge tax lien, a federal tax lien of $520,000 on my house, on everything we owned. The IRS was threatening to send me to jail if I didn't pay this thing off. Basically, what happened was I started doing a lot of deals, I started making a lot of money, and I wasn't...

One of the things I'm always telling my clients and my friends to do when they want to get started in real estate is to stop asking “what if” questions and start asking “what next” questions. Big, big difference between the two. It’s easy to get stuck in what-ifs, like what if the seller gets mad at my offer? What if I offer too much, the seller accepts my offer, and then I get it under contract,...

Here, I want to share with you the story of how I got myself into the real estate business. Hopefully, it’ll inspire you as you head out on your own journey. I've done all kinds of crazy deals, everything from traditional to creative financing with subject-twos and lease options. Right now, I'm doing a lot of vacant land, and the great thing about this business is that no matter what direction the...

Would you like to learn how to do deals while golfing? Here, I’ll show you how to do it. A few months ago, we were out hitting some balls, and I got a text from my acquisitions manager saying that we just made $36K on a flipped vacant lot deal. We never went to see it and barely talked to the seller. We worked with a realtor and got this: it was listed for $340,000, we got it under contract for $2...

I want to share with you the five biggest mistakes to avoid whenever you're making offers or buying vacant land. If you ignore these mistakes, you're going to be ignoring them to your peril because they’re really critical. You have to understand what makes a good deal a good deal and what makes a bad one bad. I talk about why it’s important to know who is on the title, which is a big deal with lan...

Here, I’m covering how to talk to sellers, and specifically, realtors. Sales is a million-dollar skill. If you're not on this phone, you're not making money. When we do marketing, the lead comes into a voicemail. We send an offer. We're averaging about one out of every 25 offers accepted for every deal—one offer accepted for every 25 offers that we send when we don't talk to the sellers first. How...

How would you like to learn how to go from $7K to seven figures? Does that sound spammy? Well, maybe it does. I don't know; I don't care, but it's true. Sumner Healey joins me here to talk about his journey from $7,000 to seven figures through doing land deals. If you translate that and do the math in your head, that's over $1 million. Not too bad, right? Is it all rose-colored glasses, flower pet...

Would you like to learn how to sell your vacant lot in two weeks or less? I'm going to show you how to do that here. I've been doing houses for years and years, but the last 3 or 4 years I've been doing more vacant land flips. And I love it for one simple reason: it’s easier. It's so simple that my kids could do it with me. Another reason why I love vacant land is because there is not as much comp...

You know what? It's time to stop flipping houses and it's time to start flipping dirt, baby. I believe land beats houses every single time and I'm going to show you why here. Now, I may be wrong, and you can make an argument for why houses are better, but I'm telling you, from my experience, from my years of doing deals, teaching people, helping people to do deals, I love vacant land for one simpl...

What if you could do just one or two things every day that would practically guarantee your success? What if when you did these things consistently, you would do one or two deals each and every month? Would you be interested in that? If so, you’re in luck. Here, I talk about the importance of creating a marketing plan and why it’s so important to me. As I like to say, we’re not in the real estate...

Do you want to do a lot of deals in 2024? Here, I share the four secrets to doing a lot of real estate investing deals, whether you're doing houses, vacant land, or wholesaling. I've been doing deals full time since 2009, and I've done a lot of different kinds. I've done residential houses. I've done a little bit of commercial, rehabbing short sales, vacant land, buying homes, subject to owner fin...

I was just listening to my buddy Jerry Norton on YouTube, and he said something so profound. He said your goal shouldn't be to learn how to do your first deal. The goal isn't to do a deal and make some money. The goal is to build a business that does deals and makes some money along the way. Sometimes, we're aiming too low. We need to aim higher. Learning how to do your first deal is important, bu...

I just did a coaching call and thought it would be important to release it to you guys as a podcast. The market is seriously changing, and there are some key things you need to understand and have in place for you to be profitable in 2024 going forward. Sellers are becoming more motivated, buyers are becoming pickier, and private investors are getting more cautious with lending their money. You ju...

The real estate market is shifting. We’re going to see a lot of changes over the next year, as we're coming into 2024. I think it's going to be dramatic, but not super dramatic. We're not going to see a crash like we did in 2008, but things are changing, and they're changing rapidly. I’m always thinking about where the market is going and what the next wave is. I've already been hearing rumor...

A student recently asked me if I had any good realtors in a specific county or in a certain state. I get this question a lot, and I do have some realtors, but the truth is, you need to do the work yourself. I know you're looking for shortcuts, right? If I could save you an hour or two or a bunch of phone calls, then that would be nice for everybody. But here's the thing: you need to learn how to d...

Investing in marketing is a must, no matter what stage of your real estate business you’re in. What you invest in marketing, you eventually make back in deals, but people get stuck when they’re first stating out. Maybe you’re working a full-time job, and you haven’t done any deals yet. Maybe you’re not even sure this is something you really want to do. If you have a limited budget for marketing, t...
