Ep 114114. REAL DEAL: Student Becomes the Master with Alex Mashburn

Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this Real Deal episode, we turn back the clock and recycle and episode where Brody Fausett dives into an excellent real estate deal with Real Estate Investing School student Alex Mashburn. Teamwork makes the dream work! One of the best ways to make huge returns in real estate is to create win - win partnerships by leveraging each other's strengths. A huge misconception for beginner real estate investors is that you need to have everything figured out yourself. You need the money, the knowledge, the perfect deal, the hustle, etc. YOU DON'T! You can be absolutely successful having a couple of these things. You can also go further leaning on your strengths and leveraging others than you could by trying to do it all by yourself. Check out the Triangle of Real Estate Investing. Each side of this triangle represents a part of the process. Education, Hustle, and Money. But you only need two of these to be really successful and you can leverage the other. For example, if you have wanted to get into real estate investing but you don't have the money to invest right now, that doesn't need to stop you. You should be focusing on learning everything you can and hustling finding deals, analyzing deals, and networking and the money will come. If you focus on those two things it'll be a no-brainer for someone with the money to fund the deal because you've created a winning relationship and return for them. This is exactly what Alex has done! He focuses on his knowledge and hustle and others are more than happy to get a 20%+ return on their money in a real asset. What two sides of the Triangle of Real Estate Investing are you focusing on? How many deals are you going to have by the end of 2024? Having a hard time finding deals in today's market?

Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! Today, we're thrilled to feature an extraordinary investor whose passion for duplexes goes beyond the ordinary—he even went so far as to change his middle name to duplex. Meet our guest, Tony "Duplex" Franks, a true exemplar of a lifestyle investor. Leveraging his income as a software engineer, Tony strategically transformed his financial landscape through real estate, achieving the coveted status of financial freedom. Currently residing in Maui, Tony has seamlessly transitioned into a full-time volunteer, dedicating himself to assisting those profoundly affected by the Lahaina fires. Tony's journey into real estate commenced in 2021, amidst a market that soared to unprecedented heights. Undeterred by the challenging conditions, he persisted through multiple property offers, eventually securing a duplex despite the competitive landscape. In a bold move, Tony offered $5,000 over the asking price, with a $50,000 escalator, showcasing his determination. The escalator was in play as there was another offer who also was at $50,000 over asking price. Thanks to a personal connection with the seller, they ultimately accepted his offer, but not his highest offer, Tony's original of $5,000 over the initial asking price. Tony's success story serves as an inspiration for navigating the complexities of the real estate market and seizing opportunities even in the face of adversity. Tune in to learn more about Tony's unique approach and his unwavering commitment to the world of duplex investing. Having a hard time finding deals in today's market?
