I have to confess that I'm guilty of this. Wholesaling houses is often presented as the easiest way to get into real estate investing. Sure it doesn't require much capital and it can generate incredible profits. But the truth is that for beginners, wholesaling can be tough, scary, and even a little intimidating. Michael McDonald started wholesaling a few years ago in a small midwest market, but he's grown that into a team that does deals all across the country. What I loved about interviewing Mi...

Let's just say his answer to the age old question has flipped around since that deal. Justin is the head of Ballpoint Marketing and Call Porter, two companies they use in their own real estate investing businesses (operating in multiple states) that you can put to work in your business as wel...

What are the pros and cons (or downsides) of real estate investing? The pros of real estate investing are pretty well known, the ability to use leverage (debt) to buy properties that generate passive income (cashflow) that also appreciate in value (equity) while giving tax benefits (depreciation). But every investment has its cons, some of real estate's downsides are market volatility, bad tenants, vacancies, maintenance, and legal/regulatory issues.

Scammers are just a part of life, but Dean Rogers learned how to do 'deeper' due diligence after he got burned by a known criminal. Dean lost $180,000 but sees how he could have avoided it by trusting his gut and making a few more phone calls to other people involved in the deal. Con-men (and Con-women) know that most people want to trust other people, and they abuse that trust to scam people. To avoid scams in real estate (or anywhere) just remember this quote: "Trust, but verify." - Ronald Rea...

The #1 thing wholesalers need to do is shut up and LISTEN! Sorry if that sounds harsh, but most wholesalers usually race to the contract instead of being quiet, listening, and building an actual relationship. We all know "The fortune is in the follow-up", but most wholesalers call their sellers to "check-in" or "follow-up" and sound like a stereotypical salesperson. 🤮 When you listen to your potential sellers' problems, it makes following up so much easier. It takes more time, but that will pul...

And that's what he loves about real estate, as a long-term asset it's almost impossible to screw up. You just need to buy at a decent price and hold on to the property. And if you think that's...
