Most people say that competition is a good thing. Do you want to compete…maybe? What if you could find deals that nobody else was looking for? Do you think that you would be able to buy these deals at a material discount? Sound too good to be true? There is a place where this scenario exists but its not in multifamily apartments. It’s in land deals and Seth Williams, Founder of REtipster.com, has opened our eyes to an area of investing that we had no idea about. The great thing about Seth’s strategy is that he got started investing with very little money. In this weeks podcast Seth shares how he achieved freedom from his banking career. He also shares how hard it was to get started. The key here is that Seth didn’t quit. He hit the wall of rejection and then created a new path for himself. Land investing may not be what you expect. Seth’s story is similar to many real estate investors. He began educating himself and then he took action. The problem was that he couldn’t find any deals that worked. He was experiencing what we like to call the “pie in the sky” phenomenon. This is when people want to get started in real estate but it just seems like an imaginary place that is not attainable for them. Seth’s investment strategy is simple but not easy. His strategy takes work but you will learn how lucrative the payoff was for his persistence. In this episode you will discover: • A relatively unknown investing technique • Exactly how Seth achieved financial freedom. • How to find areas where competition doesn’t exist. • How to expand beyond your backyard. • The value for value proposition. • How to jump in when everyone else is afraid. • Seth’s strategy. • How to Seth started small. • The power of persistence. • How to utilize social media for land deals. • How to stay grounded when success finally shows up. • Time leverage. • Life after financial freedom and much more!

Sure, you want to create wealth and live life on your own terms. But how do you achieve it? What must you do to get there, and how do you create systems to free up your time? Surprisingly, less can actually be more. In this weeks podcast Lou Cardillo shares how he achieved freedom from day-to-day financial worries and was able to put the right people in place to manage his business. He also shares what his life has been like since scaling his business aka working on his business and not in it. Surprisingly, it’s not what you may expect. Lou’s story differs remarkably from previous success stories because he landed in real estate via a late night infomercial (maybe this happens more than people really admit). In fact, his brutal honesty is truly refreshing. He’s not afraid of detailing how he’s learned from his failures and welcomes new ones. This straightforward approach to real estate opened our eyes to some new streams of income that we did not know existed. Lou reminds us of one amazing truth…and that is, the countless ways that anyone can reach financial freedom in real estate. In this episode you will discover: • How to scale your business. • Exactly how Lou achieved financial freedom. • How failure is the best teacher. • How success leaves clues. • The value of a great team. • How to jump in when everyone else is afraid. • The power of positive attitude. • How the truly successful structure their time. • The effect of quality over quantity. • Continuous education on the go. • How to stay grounded when success finally shows up. • Time leverage. • Life after financial freedom and much more!

Good accounting can make or break your real estate investing career. It’s no surprise that lenders prefer working with investors who outsource their books to a 3rd party. But there’s more to the story than just outsourcing your bookkeeping. In order to create a scalable business, its important to partner with a firm that utilizes the proper software, the cloud, and value based pricing. Just think about all the important factors that go into bookkeeping and accounting for real estate: • Accounts receivable • Bill Pay • Reconciliation • Tax Strategy and Planning • Depreciation • Cost segregation • Financial Reports (income statements/etc.) • Tax Returns ... and the list goes on All of these areas have long-term financial implications, and they’re much easier to accomplish when you partner with a progressive firm that share’s the same goals. Jason Lawhorn touches on all of these points and more in this week’s podcast. Marketplace longevity hinges on the ability to reinvent one’s self. Jason Lawhorn embraces change and strives to soar into the “cloud.” The power of integrated software caught his eye and he recognized that by investing wisely in this technology, a higher level of accounting could be accessible for the small business owner. Just out of high school, Jason was employed by his father’s accounting firm. He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master of Accountancy, with a focus in technology systems. Although he may be young, he has over twenty three years of public accounting experience, with 13 of those being in management. In 2011, Jason took the position of President and CEO of Lawhorn CPA Group, adding to his repertoire of experience.
