The number one rule in real estate is to make a ton of offers. Do you know the two most important numbers that will tell you the health of your real estate business? First, you need to know how many offers you’ve made in the last week. Second, you need to track how much follow-up you’ve done in the last week. The follow-up is critical. If you’re making a bunch of offers, that's great, but if you're not following up, you’re just throwing your marketing money away. If you’re interested in working ...

One of my clients just did eight land deals in the last three months, all while taking care of his newborn baby and working just two hours a day. The best part?

On a recent coaching call with one of my apprentices, we looked at some deals. One of his deals is in North Carolina and he sent a blind offer to the seller. His offer wound up being a bit too high to make good money on it, so we walked through things together. The beauty of using owner financing is that you can accept a lower cash offer and turn the remaining balance due into monthly payments. Charge some interest and you’ve got yourself some decent cash flow and profit coming in. Here, I walk ...

If you listened to my last podcast, I talked about following the fat man, or in other words, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. You also have to stop asking “what if” and start asking “what next?” If you feel like you have to have all of your I's dotted and T's crossed, you're going to get stuck and you're never going to take action. If you’re new to real estate, you first pick a market, then figure out your marketing, then talk to sellers, then make an offer. Always think about the next move. Her...
