“And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” - Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬FutureAndHope.org

“Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that were coming to him. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him. Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?” When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬Future & Hope

We’re currently working on a deal somewhere in Florida, and I want to show you something here that is really, really cool. It’s a four-acre property that we got under contract for about $215,000. The seller listed it the year before at $340,000, and it expired a few months ago. We originally listed the property on our website and Land.com for $280,000 and got a buyer, but it fell through. We were getting discouraged, but then we took a bit of a different angle.We got on the phone and started calling buyer’s agents, offering them generous commissions if they could find us a buyer. This subtle shift made a huge difference, and in just a few phone calls, we got a buyer. We were blatant and upfront with the realtors that we were wholesalers and told them we just wanted to assign our contract to save on closing costs. Here, I’m walking through the strategy so you can copy it in your own business. What’s Inside:—How to work with realtors to sell your vacant land faster.

“Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,” Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭50‬-‭51‬ ‭NLT‬‬“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬Future & Hope

“You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬FutureAndHope.org

Last episode, I interviewed fractional CFO David Richter, and we talked all about profit first. Here, Deana from Relay joins me to chat about how to work with a bank that will help you implement profit first. If you know my story, you know how important profit first is to me. It helped me out of a really tough tax situation and I’m a huge fan of the strategy. Working with a profit first bank could be a big win for your real estate business and keep you from making the same mistakes I did.I'm going to be talking about profit first for the rest of my business career. As long as I'm in business, as long as I have a platform, you need to understand your numbers and cash flow. If you don't understand or you don't know your numbers, you do not have a real business. When you implement profit first, your business will always be profitable. I just found out about Relay a month or two months ago, and it’s really awesome. Deana explains what Relay is and how it works, and she answers all of my questions. Go to JoeMcCall

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus. This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.” - ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬“Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not tho

Part seven of my masterclass series with Jerry Norton dives deep into selling your vacant land. In this podcast, I talk a lot about how to think of things with the end in mind. When you're pricing and selling land, you've got to think about it in terms of what would make this property as attractive as possible to an end buyer. That means you have to know who your end buyer is. You need to know what they’re looking for, and then you need to know what the competition is looking at. So, your pricing must be as competitive as possible.When you price your properties correctly, it’s easier to make winning offers. You won’t win every time, but you’ll definitely increase your odds of success and making money in your real estate business. Jerry and I go through how to get your deals online so you can sell them. We also talk about how to find realtors to help you sell your properties. There’s a lot of juicy content in this part of the video series, so I hope you leave with some takeaways.

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death." - Romans 8:1-17 NIVFutureAndHope.org

“Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭26‬-‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬FutureAndHope.org

I owed a debt I could not pay. He paid a debt He did not owe. “You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬“He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭TPT‬‬He has forgiven you all your sins: he has utterly wiped out the written evidence of broken commandments which always hung over our heads, and has completely annulled it by nailing it to the cross.

If you’ve been following along, we’re now on part six of my masterclass video series with Jerry Norton. In this one, we talk all about analyzing vacant land deals. I thought this was really important, especially for my audio listeners, because it's just important to understand that it's different from houses. In some ways, land is more difficult to comp than houses, but once you learn it, you’ll find it’s actually pretty simple and easy.We buy land on the cheap; we’re talking 35 to 50 cents on the dollar at the most. This gives us a lot of room for error. Although it’s easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis, doing so prevents you from taking the action you need to make massive strides in your real estate business. Here, Jerry and I show you how you can come up with a value for a piece of vacant land and a matching offer in less than five minutes.

Day 9/30 Jesus Challenge… Jesus helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath heavy loads. “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, and your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign.

This will be one of the most important podcasts that you've ever listened to in terms of real estate investing and understanding your numbers. Here’s the deal: if you don’t know your numbers, you don’t have a real business. When I was in a mastermind around seven or eight years ago, I heard a guy say that, and it hit me. I had a business, and I was making money, but I also kind of wasn’t. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I got into big trouble with the IRS and was hit with insane tax bills. So many of my problems could have been avoided if I had just known my numbers. How did I get out of that mess? I started implementing the “profit first” philosophy, and David Richter joins me here to get into it. He’s the author of Profit First for Real Estate Investing. There’s no need for you to live on the ups and downs of the cash flow roller coaster. David walks through the strategies you need to create stability in your business finances. The reason we got into this business is to find the freed
