Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

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.

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. Set deal size limits and stick to them. Don’t simply take on a deal because it’s there. You are a real estate expert. Earn the income […]

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 […]

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. What needs to be included on your scorecard? I’m going to tell you the minimum data you need for one. How many sellers did you talk to? How […]

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. […]

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 […]

I’m talking to you today after going through my Facebook feed. There’s a lot on Facebook about the direction of the real estate market. Some investors are saying we’re headed for disaster. Others think it will be a mild dip, not a crash. Mortgage rates have hit a 7-year high, but they’re still very low. Prices […]

I’m sharing something exciting with you today. I spoke at an investing event in the Raleigh area over the weekend… taught the attendees about lease options. One guy in the audience started texting landlords from Craigslist while I was talking, and got 2 appointments for the next day. That’s an inspiration to me, and I […]

Hi everybody. We just ended another 2-day Implementation Workshop with a few clients. During the workshop, everything these new investors need to get started is set up for them.

Hi everybody. I’ve been thinking lately about the phrase, “people in hell want ice water.” It applies to a lot of sellers we come across. In general, sellers think their house is worth more than it is. Or, they have liens on the property and want the selling price to get them out of trouble […]

Hey, what’s going on? I’m enjoying a beautiful sunset right now as I’m driving to pick up my son at his tumbling class. We’re talking again about Win Win Win Deals. These are ideal because the seller, the buyer and you (the investor) all feel like they’ve won when the deal is complete. Aim for […]
