Stress test for buying real estate: 1. Does it provide cash flow with at least 4-8% a year (if it provides more than 8% you need to look with some magnifying glass cause there is probably something wrong!) 2. Time/money - is this going to be worth your time? 3. Do you love it? 4. Can you exit? Can sell the deal at any time? If a deal makes 28% but that's only $100 that's not a good deal. How many...

REAL ESTATE needs to have 4 things: cash flow, scale, time, and the right location. Nail those 4 things and you'll be doing better than 99% of all real estate investors out there. The USA is the only place where you have the deals available that I am talking about. You can't find these properties with a lot of units available anywhere else, so the USA gives you SCALE, and right now the USA is on S...

1. Ask for referrals - it's easier to get referrals than to find a new customer. Don't ask "do you know anyone you can refer to me?" Instead be more specific "When you see what I did for you, who are the first 2 people you think of that need the same help?" Want a deal today? Write down 3 happy customers and call them now and ask for two names from each of them. 2. Upsell an existing customer or e...

You can wish or meditate but, in order to change, you have to make or become different. When I was 25, a mentor told me something that I'll never forget: "To change, you've got to change." How do you change? Do you make gradual moves or do you wait for the grizzly bear to come rip yo...

You shouldn't invest in real estate if you don't know the market. You have to know about the location and what kind of residents are in the area. When you know what you're doing, you'll make money. If you're not making money, then you don't know something. The real estate is a game about KNOW. The 4 Quadrants of Real Estate are: ● Price ● Down Payment ● Debt and ● Cash-on-cash

$5,000 is NOT much money. Money goes where money knows, and people who hate money never have money. Broke people don't have a target big enough, because to them 5K is a big amount...but the question is, how do you turn 5k into a million? If you had 5k and add $5,000 every year and earn 20% on it, you'll have $1,125,000 dollars in 20 years. So how to get to 20% returns? If you earn only 10% a year,...

Negotiating is a game, and you need to have your game ready before the game. You need a mentor for this or you will take your whole life to learn it. The game is important because you have to have fun getting the money or you will go play a game elsewhere and go spend the money. I attach money to the game. I won't play a game without the money. I am the perfect combination of a gamer and a money m...

This is an unpopular viewpoint but it's true: You're NOT just supposed to love your partner the way they are. Really?! It's true. Why are you suppose to love them as they are? With all their flaws? What if they're lazy? What if they're broke and have a gambling addiction? Accept them as they are? You don't have to love someone as they are. Your marriage won't last if you both don't change. Be the...
