In this episode of the Builders Bible podcast, Stephen Bryant shares his journey from a successful career in outside sales to becoming a full-time real estate investor. He discusses the transition to real estate, focusing on the fix-and-flip model, and the importance of finding and financing deals. Stephen emphasizes the role of private funding, particularly through self-directed IRAs, and the challenges he faces in his business. He also highlights the technology and tools he uses, the impact of AI on the industry, and his personal growth journey through faith and community involvement.
Takeaways:
- I spent a great number of years in outside sales.
- I transitioned out of sales around about 2020.
- I had also become a licensed home inspector.
- We will buy a property, we'll rehab it fully.
- I rely almost solely on wholesalers for acquisition.
- We like to work with private, self-directed investors.
- You have to have that account with a custodian that allows you to self-direct.
- I think that oftentimes, especially clients approaching retirement, it's the same old things.
- I learned a long time ago that there are people who have real money.
- You have to make a conscious choice to do it.
