Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

I have two special guests on the show today, John Jackson and Mark Tapp. I’ve known John for a long time, and he’s one of the guys who helped me get started in the business. He’s been on my show a couple of times before and we’re in some masterminds together. Mark Tapp is a student of John’s. John and Mark discuss what they call the “floss method”, which is a way to combine private equity or capital with lease options to increase t...

Eddie Speed is one of the most creative guys I know in real estate. He’s going to help you understand some of the coolest IRS loopholes and how you can do more deals. Instead of one out of every 30 offers, you could triple your deal flow to three or four just by being more creative. With inflation at a 40-year-high, it’s more important than ever to be prepared and have a strategy to keep profiting in your business. Eddie’s done cou...

We’re talking about how to survive, thrive, and profit in a potential recession. Some would say it’s already here. Tech stocks are down, and while that might not necessarily impact the housing market, things are changing all around us and we have to be prepared. You can profit big even in a recession if you’re focused on the right things. Having a strong mindset and making decisions in advance are the secrets to success. Focus on r...

A recession might be on the way, but we’re working on a lot of deals right now. There’s still a ton of opportunity and we’re finding more sellers are accepting our offers now, more than ever before. If you’re just starting out and wondering if you really can make $10K in 10 hours per week, the answer is yes, you absolutely can. Marketing strategies like cold calling and direct mail work no matter what’s going on with the economy. T...

Being an expert seller is the million-dollar skill you need to run a successful real estate business. Talking to sellers is what leads to deals happening and pre-screening them whenever you get them on the phone can make your life a whole lot easier. Make sure you’re walking your sellers through the four pillars to uncover all the information needed to put a deal together. The four pillars for both inbound and outbound calls are mo...

We’re continuing our discussion on how to recession-proof your real estate investing business, and today we’re talking about how to prepare, not panic. We cover how to identify problems and how to solve them. We’ll also share what to do if you’re personally on the ropes or soon will be, and the things you should be focusing on in real estate specifically. Companies might be laying off, but there are plenty of people out there whole...

Gas prices are sky-high, inflation keeps increasing, and the stock market is way down. Cryptocurrencies have lost half their value and interest rates are going up. Plenty of people are worried, but we want to help prepare you for the economic crisis we’re facing. While recessions will always be hard for some people, if you’re smart, you can weather the storm. You have to be smart in the way you invest, and you have to be able to pi...

Gavin Timms and I are back with another quick but important episode to discuss what’s going on in the economy right now and how the real estate market is changing. We’ve seen and heard a lot of people panic over the possible effects of the market change will bring to their real estate investing business.

We’re here to, again, reassure you that you do not need to panic. You only need to be smart about it. Is the market crashing? It’s...

Everybody’s talking about the recession. The stock market is down, cryptocurrency dipped drastically overnight, fuel prices have skyrocketed and the real estate market is changing. People are burying their heads in the sand, panicking and freaking out. 

But do they have to? Right now the recession is coming, but we don't have to panic. We don't have to freak out. We just need to be prepared. And that's what Gavin and I w...

Many of the most successful real estate businesses today run smoothly and efficiently thanks to a successful VA team. One of the first hires you make, if not the very first hire, should be a virtual assistant. If you’re a solo entrepreneur, you’ll need to eventually start outsourcing so you can spend your time on high-dollar activities like closing deals. Getting bogged down in administrative work keeps you from bringing in more in...

There’s always money to make in this business, and there are always deals to be done. When the market shifts and everyone’s freaking out, that’s when you can make the most money. That’s why I love wholesaling so much. Whether the market’s going up or down, you just adjust along with it. And as you get busier in your business, you start asking better questions like, “How can I do none of this?” When you do everything yourself, you d...

Personal development and working on your mindset is the key to running a successful business, and it’s also key for life in general. Taking an honest look at yourself and owning up to what you need to work on allows you to change for the better. Sometimes we can get stuck in our own ways, which prevents us from making the necessary adjustments to get ahead. We might think we have all the answers already, which can keep us stuck in ...

Bob Lotich is a friend I’ve known for years. His book, “Simple Money, Rich Life” doesn’t have much to do with real estate, but it sure does talk about money. You could be making a ton of money in your real estate business but if you’re not living a rich life, you’re going to be miserable. Bob has a whole section in his book dedicated to a principle he calls the logic method of giving. He’s increased his giving so much over the year...

Gavin and I were talking about marketing in our recent boot camp and if you’re a real estate investor, you know that everybody always wants more leads. They feel like that’s the answer to every problem. But I’m here to tell you that maybe you don’t need more leads. Maybe you just need to better manage the leads that you have. Most investors would generate more business simply by doing better follow-up on their existing leads and ma...

We’re in a crazy environment right now. People are afraid of food shortages, gas prices, and inflation and it’s getting harder to get a mortgage. With all of this uncertainty, you might be wondering whether or not you should keep a deal or wholesale it. In uncertain times like this, sometimes it’s better to turn around something quick on a wholesale flip than to spend energy and money managing the rehab and getting stuck with it.

Wi...

In today’s increasingly difficult market, it’s getting tougher to do wholesaling deals. It’s not just the legal side of things making it harder, but also interest rates going up as well as inflation. A lot of people are really nervous about the market and the housing economy. Jerry Norton is one of the premier experts in the industry on wholesaling and fixing and flipping and I love getting his advice. He’s been doing this a long t...

With so many systems, tools, and automation strategies available, it’s easy to overcomplicate running your real estate business. Getting too lost in the details can be a major distraction from doing what’s needed to grow and close more deals. Too much time spent on trivial tasks distracts you from taking the massive action needed to get ahead. If you feel like you’re working hard but not seeing results, it might be time to get back...
