Before we can even begin to focus on the actions that drive success, we have to start with our mindset. What we think affects what we can do, and no one knows this more than the highly successful. We may call them high achievers, but they are actually high level thinkers first. Good strategies or a lot of knowledge can’t outpace a bad mindset. Even…

You might have heard that social media is a great place to find deals and wondered if it sounds too good to be true. Or at the very least, getting leads through social media is time-consuming, complicated and expensive. Isn't that just a lot of work for little return? Finding deals on Facebook seems far-fetched, but it’s possible - in fact many inv…

Many people believe that sellers only call investors when their houses are falling apart or they can't pay their mortgage. But that's not the whole story. Sellers have lots of different reasons. Knowing these reasons can help you become a better investor. Understanding why a seller wants to sell can help you make better offers and close more deals.…

The number 1 thing holding people back from building a real estate empire is money. The truth is: you don’t need a hefty bankroll to kickstart your investing journey. You might believe it takes money to make money, but my journey from zero to flipping over 100 houses a year proves otherwise. I started with nothing—no big capital, just sheer determi…

If you’re tired of riding the real estate income rollercoaster, investing is the only way out of the stress of sales. What holds people back is thinking we need big money to start. What if we could do it with absolutely nothing? Contrary to what people believe: it’s possible to flip houses and start building wealth with zero upfront cash. You DON'T…

The recent NAR Lawsuit Settlement drives home one important point: real estate agents who don’t invest aren’t safe. They should be worried. Without the solid safety net of income-earning assets, you’ll always be a victim to the ups and downs of the market. With just one investing deal, you can protect your income and never have to worry about shrin…

In school, we learn a lot about a multitude of subjects, topics and concepts in order to succeed. While it worked in that space, it can hold us back in our careers, especially as real estate investors. Because of how we were taught, we end up gathering more information than we need in order to get started. We think we need to read every book, absor…

One of the critical components of being a successful investor is finding deals, but not all deal sources are created equal. In fact, some of the most common places to find deals, I wouldn’t recommend. As solopreneurs, how we spend our time is directly connected to the results we get. Anytime we’re focused on the wrong lead sources, we’re not gettin…

Many agents are tired of the rollercoaster ride that small multifamily took them on in 2023 - including us. The constant stress of dealing with high-risk ventures, the disappointing returns that didn't match the effort invested is a far cry from the passive income dream. Managing these units demands constant effort, hardly constituting the 'passive…

If you’re looking for investing opportunities, you’d think the MLS is the right place to find them. Hundreds of properties and motivated sellers at your fingertips, and as an agent, you have front row access. Well, that’s not the case… Relying on the MLS to find deals might just be the worst way to run an investing business, especially in this mark…

Selling real estate can be lucrative, but it's far from a consistent income stream. Some months might bring in substantial earnings, while others leave us scraping by. It's a constant juggling act - trying to maintain a comfortable lifestyle while navigating the unpredictable nature of the market. Diversifying our income streams is the key to overc…

9 out of 10 conversations I have with agents go something like this: “I’ve read the book, attended seminars, listened to the podcasts, but I don’t know what the actual first step to investing is”. They like selling real estate, but they are frustrated with the income rollercoaster. They know they want to start acquiring assets, but they don’t know …

Real estate sales can certainly earn you a great living, but can you easily retire on transactions alone? I don’t believe so… Many would argue that if an agent sells many homes and saves the money they make, they can gain financial freedom. While that’s true, only the elite of the elite can achieve that. With investing on the other hand, you can be…

Every December, people come up with predictions for what the real estate market holds in the new year. In this market especially, many of the forecasts are extreme. The truth about home prices might not be quite so dramatic. We can’t predict the future with 100% accuracy, but we can certainly assess probabilities to get an idea of what’s coming. Ho…

For agents, up to 20% of the listings we come across can be flipped to our own investment deals, but we don’t believe we have the vehicle to do so.

How do we know if …

My path to financial freedom began when we combined traditional real estate sales with investing, but that success story didn’t happen overnight.

In order to diversify your income away from selling homes tradition…

Unless you want to lose a lot of money, the MLS is the worst place to find investing deals and set yourself up for success. Off-market properties are where we need to focus our efforts. The good news is, if you’re an agent, you often unknowingly come across great deals that haven’t hit the MLS yet. How do we spot these properties and how can we str…

Agents come across great investing deals every single day, but they don’t go after as many as they could. That’s usually because they lack capital, construction expertise or a combination of both. Through our partnership program, we’ve eliminated both of these barriers and created a way for agents to get off the transaction rollercoaster. This is i…

In real estate investing, nothing wastes more time or loses more money than taking the wrong first steps. Newer investors are at a greater risk of falling into this trap.

Agents constantly come across investing deals that can significantly out-pace what they make selling homes. The problem is: with no funding or renovation experience, it’s hard to take action on it.

Tracking our numbers might not be the most exciting, but it is the most important thing we can do in our businesses. In order to know if what you’re doing today will lead to the results we want, we have to keep score. We need to know if our daily, weekly and monthly actions are leading us to our goals or taking us away from them. How do we apply a …

For any agent, stacking investing on top of your sales business is a guaranteed path to wealth. It can magnify our real estate commissions many times over, and ultimately, we can work up to earning $10k a month in passive income. The only challenge is raising money for that first deal to get the ball rolling. Most agents won’t even start for this r…

Real estate offers many vehicles that can lead us to wealth, but they aren’t created equal, especially if you’re looking for something passive. Short-term rentals and small multi-family units are vehicles many people go after, but it’s hard to be hands-off with them. This is why apartment buildings are so great, they offer a passive investing optio…

One of the biggest reasons agents hesitate to invest is that it might throw off the retail side and hurt their sales. That notion couldn’t be further from the truth. Retail and investing actually go hand-in-hand; one enhances the other - especially if you go after sellers. Considering where the market is and where the industry is going, a seller-ba…

When you’re starting out as an agent-investor, it’s hard to raise money for deals, so we have to tap into low to no money strategies. There are a few ways to get in front of off-market sellers without a huge marketing budget - each with their own pros and cons. The key to success will always be consistency and a way to measure our success. How can …

So many agents are looking for investing deals and capital, but the people who know, like and trust them have no idea. If we’re only telling people that we’re in retail sales, they won’t be aware that we have other solutions. If we’re not sharing with our sphere of influence what we’re doing in real estate, they won’t be able to funnel leads and de…

The best investing deals aren’t found on the MLS - they aren’t even on the market at all. Any investor worth their salt has to know how to find discounted, off-market properties and have a tried and tested strategy to get in front of those homeowners. Mail has always been my marketing strategy of choice, but because so many things go into it, getti…

As an investor, raising capital, finding and putting deals together is really only half of the business. If you’re flipping homes, buying rental properties and building apartments, construction and renovation is really where the rubber meets the road. Now that you have the property, you actually have to make sure the projects get done on budget, on…

For a few years, short-term rentals have been the hottest asset class in real estate. Owning a property in a hot destination, potentially earning more than traditional rentals, what’s not to like? Here’s the problem though: if we look past the allure of owning a vacation property, there’s a lot of risk and even diminishing returns. For a multitude …

Most real estate investors swear by tried and tested formulas to make a profit, but if we’re not careful, those formulas can burn us. Formulas are meant to be a guide, not the end-all-be-all decider for our deals. Very often, what’s projected on paper doesn’t translate to reality, so going on the formula alone can get us into trouble. How do some o…

People invest in real estate to access wealth and passive income, but to get those privileges and enjoy them, it has to be done within a certain time frame. From 50 years to 5 years, it’s possible to achieve our goals within the time horizon we desire, but it requires different strategies. If we want to achieve our goals in less time, what do we ch…

To have success in investing, our chosen strategy has to match with the market cycle we’re in. We have to know how to make money now, not what worked multiple years ago. If we study the market cycles over the last 20 years, certain patterns begin to emerge, and we can use them to forecast what’s ahead and inform our decisions. How do you invest wit…

In the investing game, there are so many ways we can shortcut our journey to success. One of them is learning from the experiences of other investors, especially the things they wish they did differently in the beginning phase. There are things we can do in that initial stage that can fast track our results and avoid many headaches and pitfalls. Wh…

Multi-family might have its advantages, but it can also prove to be too difficult for many agent investors. Apartments are a worthy alternative too, or better yet, a better option than small multi family units. They are typically low maintenance and often become cash flow positive very early. Why should we make the switch from multi-family over to …
