Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

You know it’s a great interview when I start taking notes! And I was definitely taking notes as Alex and I interviewed Matt Reed. As most of you know, I’m nuts over lease options. So when I have the opportunity to talk with another seasoned investor doing lease options – someone I can learn from […]

All things take time. But we live in a hurry-up society. If you want ripe bananas and they’re green when you buy them, you’ll have to wait. Green bananas aren’t very tasty. Building a solid real estate business takes time. It doesn’t explode overnight. That first mailing might not bring a single response. (What a […]

I’m sounding a little weary in this episode… Weary and excited all at the same time. It’s about 2 a.m. and I’m driving home from the airport after having attended Sean Terry’s Extreme Freedom Live event in Arizona. I have so many emotions and thoughts after being around all that excitement and energy. I enjoyed […]

Dig the well before you’re thirsty. What’s that supposed to mean? If you’re scratching your head at the title of this episode, it’s yet another concept that I took away from the recent Mastermind group I attended. (The group is called Collective Genius.) The reason this admonition resonated with me is because I was guilty […]

I’m always pumped when I come back from a Mastermind group meeting. The one I just attended was in Florida called Collective Genius. Innovative ideas are always plentiful at Masterminds, and I come home energized and excited. The title of this episode was something that was said at this Mastermind meeting. The point being that […]

Alex and I have a great time in this episode, interviewing a young, 24-year-old Raphael Vargas. It’s a little tricky for Alex and me to get our heads around how young this entrepreneur is, especially in light of what a strong wholesaling business he’s built up in the Washington, DC area. (Which, in itself, is […]

You may remember that a while back I announced the beginning of what I called Deal Coaching. I set up this program to accept 12 investors, and it was designed solely for the purpose of providing encouragement and accountability. Good news… We’re a week in and amazing reports are already coming in from the participants. […]

Ever get caught up in a really bad deal? It can be a hassle. And once you’re in the middle of the mess, do you look back and wish you’d stepped away and passed it over? I have – for sure. And I find that, occasionally, I’m still doing that as I enter into this […]

Something special is coming down your pipeline, as Alex and I interview Rob Swanson yet again. (Make sure you check out episode #149 for Part 1.) Get this – today’s unique episode is 2 hours long. Yep, you read that right – 2 hours. Why so long? Because in this Part 2 of Rob pulling […]

Hey everyone – yet another real estate continuing education class is now under my belt. And this one really got me excited. If I weren’t so busy with so many other aspects of my business, I would definitely do this… It has to do with all those people who have money sitting around in their […]

Once again, I’m driving home from having attended another continuing education class… As most of you know, to maintain your Realtor’s license, you are required to attend a certain number of hours of classes. This particular class had to do with agencies and real estate contracts. I know that sounds boring, but actually the class […]

In this episode, Alex and I conduct a fascinating interview with Craig Ballantyne. Craig is an author, fitness trainer, self-improvement coach and editor of the personal development newsletter, Early To Rise. The level of inspiration and motivational ideas in this episode is amazing, much of which can be found in Craig’s book, The Perfect Day […]

As an investor, you’re looking for motivated sellers – but you never want to be the motivated buyer. You should always be the reluctant buyer. In this episode, I explain how you might become that motivated buyer – the one who is so desperate for a deal that you find yourself chasing the seller. The […]

This episode came about after I attended a class on home staging. Because I’m also a licensed Realtor, I’m required to take a certain number of hours of continuing education classes to maintain my license. I came out of the staging class pleasantly surprised. While I, personally, may never need this service, I was reminded […]
