Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

Welcome! This is the first time we’ve filmed a coaching call with a student and Jim Kirshbaum is our guinea pig/student. We figure that helping Jim will also help you since most people run into the same challenges in real estate investing. Jim’s in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market and he wants the call to focus on marketing and automation…

Samuel Leeds is a property investment star in the United Kingdom and Europe—and my guest in today’s episode. He’s a sought-after investment educator in England. You should check out his YouTube site and learn more about him…

I have real estate rock star Krista Mashore as my guest—she and I are both members of The Inner Circle, which is a real estate Mastermind group. Krista is primarily known as a coach for realtors, but the same advice she gives realtors applies to investors. She helps people get their names out and known for real estate expertise…

Guys… my guest, Jim Huntzicker, just made a million dollar profit flipping an apartment building. Jim was on the podcast about 3 or 4 years ago. He was in residential investing for several years, but then started studying how to invest in commercial and multifamily properties…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investment Mastery podcast. Our guest is David Dodge, and we’re going to talk about his [very successful] methods. This episode is also on YouTube. David is in St. Louis where he’s a massive action taker. When he started out, his goals were so high that, when he was only making half his numbers, he still had more leads than he could handle…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investment Mastery podcast. Our guest, Kyle Rodgers, has a bot program that finds leads within Facebook groups. I was a little skeptical about this approach, so I assigned one of my coaching students to get set up with Kyle and see how it worked in his Nebraska market…

I’m walking around outside, so you may be able to hear frogs in the background. I’m talking to you about something I learned today at a prayer breakfast. The speaker was Chad Robichaux. He’s a veteran Special Ops Recon Marine who served numerous tours in Afghanistan. The experience left him with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)…

I’m answering a simple question for you today. It’s a question I get often. The question is, “How do you get the option deposit you collect from a tenant buyer to apply to the down payment they’re going to make in the future?”…

I’m in Cincinnati, driving to an REIA where I’ll be speaking. I’ll be talking about lease options, focusing on the various options available with creative financing. I get a little political today on this podcast… I’m going to speak my mind. Even though I vote conservative, I must say this: I’m so tired of the whining of the Right. They complain that the other side has it better…

Welcome to REI In Your Car. I’m giving you a quick tip today. I’m hurrying home for an important family occasion—a scheduled FaceTime call to see the Goldendoodle puppy we’re getting soon. I want you to get some use out of those courses you’ve bought and never read. Most of you probably have a few hanging around on your computer. My advice is to send it to your VA and have them study it…

I’m with my partner, Gavin Timms, and we’re driving around St. Louis after the 1st day of one of our Implementation Workshops. Listen to what happened for two of our students, Mike and Pam. We set up a text marketing campaign for them. We sent out 60 texts and within 10 minutes they had 13 responses of ‘maybe’ or ‘yes’!…

I’m in the car with Gavin Timms and we’re on the way to another Implementation Workshop. We basically start students’ businesses with them/for them. Gavin and I created a case study video about doing wholesaling in a virtual market. We take you through all the steps we followed… choosing markets, scripts for talking to sellers, marketing efforts, etc…..

My guest is Scott Oots who lives in Corona, California near Disneyland—it’s a pretty wild, competitive market there. Scott’s been doing this for 5 years. He started by following Sean Terry’s Flip to Freedom program but quickly developed his own system…

I’m talking about databases with you today and why you need to keep a database of both buyers and sellers. From the very beginning, I was taught that every lead needs to go into a database. Even if you get a convincing NO from a buyer or seller, you need to hold on to that person’s contact info in a database…

Welcome… today we’re going to talk about finding comps. One of my coaching clients asked me about this, so I wanted to address it with all of you. I have a YouTube video up on the same subject…

Mike Dillard is my guest. He lives in Austin, Texas, and is known for his marketing expertise. Mike’s created numerous courses for general business and marketing. He’s had some failures, some serious ones. He’s spent much of the last year getting his health in line and calculating what his next moves should be…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investment Mastery podcast. My guest is Dan Doran, The Marketing Man. I owe a lot of my success to Dan. I got many of the catchphrases I use in talking to you and my coaching clients from Dan and his former partner, Richard Roop. Like this one: “We’re not in the real estate business; we’re in the marketing business.”…

Welcome to the show. I’m talking about doing a lease option on a property that needs a lot of work. I’m heading home from the airport after traveling for a speaking engagement…

Welcome to the podcast. Glad you’re here. I’m recording in Phoenix where I’m about to speak to the PHX REIA. I just ate at Rehab Hamburgers… they’re huge!  And now I’m giving you some rehab by letting you know you don’t have to spend a fortune on training to succeed in real estate investing…

Welcome to the show. We are talking about creative ways to do lease options with guest Jesse Mills. Jesse is an investor who’s a massive action taker, my favorite kind. He’s also a mortgage broker..

This video is the introduction to a Mindmap that I’ve put together to teach wholesalers everything they need to know to find cash buyers. You can get the Mindmap for free by visiting my website, linked below. The subtitle, The Definitive Guide, says it all. When I say definitive, I mean it. Watch this to learn how to get lists of prospective buyers, and what method and what message to use to communicate with them….

Do you want to stay out of trouble? If you’re a wholesaler, listen to this… If you want to keep moving forward in wholesaling, do some marketing for buyers. You need to keep a ‘stable’ of cash buyers that you know want to expand their holdings…

Marco Santarelli, who has a podcast about passive real estate investing, is my guest. You’re going to enjoy learning from him today. It’s good to have passive streams of income coming from real estate even if you generally wholesale for quick cash. Marco started investing when he was 18 with his 1st rental property…

I’m wearing the Alabama sweatshirt today because I’m celebrating a deal a student of mine made today in Alabama. And my guest, Brian Trippe, gave me this sweatshirt a while ago. Brian is a huge admirer of the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast—he’s been listening for years…

I’m sharing the audio from an interview we did with Carey and Melissa Dodson of Birmingham, Alabama. They’re student partners of mine and Gavin’s who did a $20K deal recently. You’ll hear Gavin interviewing the Dodsons first, and then students participating in an Implementation Workshop with me in St. Louis ask some questions…

I’m talking about adversity. There’s always going to be adversity, especially if you dream big. There’s always going to be someone (and it may be you) who says, “You can’t do that.” To overcome it, you have to embrace it. I’ve heard that Walt Disney would scrap an idea if the team he presented it to didn’t have any objections. To him, that meant he wasn’t dreaming big enough….

Surround yourself with people who think you can and avoid people who think you can’t. I’m returning from Funnel Hacking Live, a marketing conference. Funnel Hacking teaches about using ClickFunnels in the most productive way….

Welcome to the podcast. It’s a short one today. I want to challenge you to ignore the news. Just stop watching, reading and listening to it. I know it’s important for citizens to be aware of what’s going on in their towns and their country. But it’s a big time suck, and the content is overly negative and depressing. And most of the time, it doesn’t directly affect you or me. You can get used to going without news because it’s almost never essential for you to know….

Welcome to the podcast. Glad you’re here. I just got back from Austin, TX. Had a good trip. Austin is where I first dipped my toe into real estate investing, so I’m going to take myself (and you) down memory lane today. I made so many mistakes when I started out, and I’m telling you that you will too. I didn’t have a mentor, and the coaching program I signed on for wasn’t great….

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Today I’m on both audio and video, and I’m excited about talking to Dixie Decker. I met her recently at a national investor meeting. Go to my website for show notes, a transcript or simply to listen to a podcast again. You can search my podcasts by subject or by guest’s name…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Today’s podcast is also available as a video… see link below. Today I am talking about a tool that will help you find the best lists to market to. It provides MLS data, does skip tracing and more. PropStream is $97.00 a month, which is an excellent price for what you get…

Welcome to the podcast! Today I want you to remember that you work for yourself. You are not any buyer’s or seller’s employee. Also, don’t use the same buyers or sellers all the time—it will cause you to lose money over time. That’s why it’s important to have a list of buyers and sellers, and pitch deals to all of them so that they compete for your deals…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Please leave reviews of my podcasts wherever you listen to them. I need and use listener feedback. Our guest today is Kevin Bupp. I’m really glad to have him on the show because he’s in a niche we don’t talk about often. Kevin grew up in Harrisburg, PA and now lives in Clearwater, FL. He says he lucked in to real estate while in community college by working with a mentor…

Welcome to the podcast. I’m in my car waiting for my son to finish his cello lesson. Today, we’re going to consider how important it is to perceive of yourself as a marketer, not an investor. I’m working with an accountability group right now. It’s a push to get the group to set up their […]

Welcome to the podcast. We’re going to talk about cutting your per deal marketing costs. I watched an Eddie Speed video seminar today about creative financing, and I want to share it with you. The takeaway is to make several different types of offers on a property… give sellers options. Let sellers consider owner financing, […]

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. I’m talking today about a post by Tom Krol that I saw on Facebook. It’s good advice about avoiding small deals.

Welcome to the podcast. I‘m in my kitchen today, not my car. I am talking today about a recent email I received from Dean Jackson. His emails are interesting and helpful. You may want to get on the list to receive his articles. I send emails too… 3 a week. If you order my free […]

Welcome to the podcast. It’s a new year and a new day. I’ve decided to focus on 90-day goals this year instead of yearly goals. It’s one of the steps I’m taking to reduce overwhelm. Reducing overwhelm means that you recognize it and stop doing the things that cause it. Stop and decide what one […]

Not driving now, just walking around in the driveway. The real estate market is changing dramatically. There’s still a lot of new building going on in most cities. But some new apartment developments are having to offering incentives to get new tenants. If you’re sitting on a wholesale property, be sure to check active comps. […]

I’m driving now after a little shopping trip. I’m following up on my last podcast and talking more about data, not drama. Today we’ll talk about scorecards.

The last few days have been really cool for me. Enjoying life… I’ve interviewed a couple of people recently who are having great success doing lease options. They do more deals than I do, and it really fires me up to hear about their achievements. You can hear these interviews on my podcasts. These guys […]

I am in the car right now, and it’s a beautiful fall day. I’ve been to the bank to wire money to the IRS and to a colleague I’m working with on a new project that you’ll be hearing about soon. One exciting move and one duty… I’ve been thinking about building a business lately. How do we make our business an asset? Our business should be able to run without us being there. It should allow us freedom, not be a job that requires 60 or 80 hours a week. Keep overhead low, and train a few good people to work with you. Grow only in ways that don’t conflict with your desired lifestyle. Borrowing from Rob Swanson, use Simple… System… Scale as a guide for your business. What’s inside: Mentioned in this episode:

Hi everybody. Glad you’re here. This time I’m actually in my car. I just dropped off a friend at the airport. We’ve been strategizing for 2 days about plans for the business. One thing we talked about was how to get my boys (aged 15 and 13) involved in real estate. The wholesaling in Alabama […]
