Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

If you’ve been listening to my REI In Your Car episodes, you know that I’m very much a fan of lease options. The reasons are many. In this episode, I go down a long list of the benefits of lease options over simply owning rental property. Benefits such as… being able to get into the […]

In this episode, I continue my discussion about retirement. I want to give you better strategies than what the financial gurus continually spout — that you will need to save millions of dollars during your lifetime in order to retire. Even as they say this, they talk as if stocks are a safe investment strategy. […]

I really get a little fed up when I hear the so-called financial gurus talking about how much a person has to save up for their retirement. They set it at several million — just so you can live a certain quality of life in your golden years. I disagree not only with their numbers, […]

From time to time, I come back to the subject of why I like being a Realtor and having my license. In this episode, I explain in detail why I think you have more leeway and more credibility when doing wholesale deals as a Realtor. One of the benefits is the fact that you will […]

Ever have someone quote Yoda to you? Yes, I’m talking about Yoda from Star Wars. I’ve had someone throw some Yoda words at me. It was from a boss who was over me at a construction site back in the day. (Back when I had bosses.) While this guy was not my favorite boss of […]

Are you using the “spray and pray” strategy for your marketing? That’s how I used to do it. I thought it was a strategy, but in actuality, it was a guessing game. (And I wasted a lot of time and money.) Since then, I’ve come to understand how powerful focus can be. In this episode […]

I’m getting a lot of good questions coming in on the Podcast Hotline. In this episode, I answer a question from an investor who wonders how to compile comps without access to the MLS. This may come as a bit of a surprise, but I explain why I think the MLS is not the best […]

I recorded this episode as I was driving to go look at a potential office location. That led me to chat about whether an investor does or does not need a local office. And a local assistant for that matter. I’ve always loved the idea of operating a business from any point in the world […]

This episode packs a punch – I’m fielding 3 questions here, since each of the 3 could be answered quickly and simply. The first question has to do with my constant admonition of making 5 offers a day. The person who asked about this wasn’t sure if I meant 5 calls, 5 emails, 5 letters, […]

A question came in on my Podcast Hotline asking how contracts work when you’re working with wholesaling partners. This listener wondered if a formal contract was necessary between you and your wholesaling partner. At first, this may seem a little confusing, but it’s actually very simple, and I clarify every detail in this episode. I […]

This episode is actually “REI at the airport” as I’m waiting to get a flight home. I’ve been in Oregon attending a mastermind session. In fact, what I’m discussing here stems from some of the conversations that took place during these sessions. The discussion turned to the immensity of the universe and how small we […]

On the podcast hotline, a question came in from Lauren. She wanted to know about how big her direct mailing campaigns should be in order to result in closing 5 deals a month. While I admit there are a lot of variables in the answer to such a question, in this episode I hit it […]

My Ford Excursion is a monster vehicle that I call “The Beast.” Noisy and with terrible gas mileage. But it’s great when we’re traveling with our travel trailer hitched on the back. When I fly into a city for a speaking engagement, I might rent a little sporty something. But I’m smart enough not to […]

When working with many of my coaching students around the country, I see that the ones who are making the biggest impact in their industry are those who take the initiative to learn skills in selling. They learn how to hustle and how to make things happen. When I first started, I studied everything I […]

Marketing has always fascinated me. I love finding out what’s working and then putting that into operation. In today’s episode, I’m talking about finding buyers. Why? Because finding buyers absolutely works as a fantastic marketing strategy. I say this over and over, but I’m sayin’ it again: Find your buyers first. When you have buyers, […]
