Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

I’m wearing the Alabama sweatshirt today because I’m celebrating a deal a student of mine made today in Alabama. And my guest, Brian Trippe, gave me this sweatshirt a while ago. Brian is a huge admirer of the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast—he’s been listening for years…

I’m sharing the audio from an interview we did with Carey and Melissa Dodson of Birmingham, Alabama. They’re student partners of mine and Gavin’s who did a $20K deal recently. You’ll hear Gavin interviewing the Dodsons first, and then students participating in an Implementation Workshop with me in St. Louis ask some questions…

I’m talking about adversity. There’s always going to be adversity, especially if you dream big. There’s always going to be someone (and it may be you) who says, “You can’t do that.” To overcome it, you have to embrace it. I’ve heard that Walt Disney would scrap an idea if the team he presented it to didn’t have any objections. To him, that meant he wasn’t dreaming big enough….

Surround yourself with people who think you can and avoid people who think you can’t. I’m returning from Funnel Hacking Live, a marketing conference. Funnel Hacking teaches about using ClickFunnels in the most productive way….

Welcome to the podcast. It’s a short one today. I want to challenge you to ignore the news. Just stop watching, reading and listening to it. I know it’s important for citizens to be aware of what’s going on in their towns and their country. But it’s a big time suck, and the content is overly negative and depressing. And most of the time, it doesn’t directly affect you or me. You can get used to going without news because it’s almost never essential for you to know….

Welcome to the podcast. Glad you’re here. I just got back from Austin, TX. Had a good trip. Austin is where I first dipped my toe into real estate investing, so I’m going to take myself (and you) down memory lane today. I made so many mistakes when I started out, and I’m telling you that you will too. I didn’t have a mentor, and the coaching program I signed on for wasn’t great….

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Today I’m on both audio and video, and I’m excited about talking to Dixie Decker. I met her recently at a national investor meeting. Go to my website for show notes, a transcript or simply to listen to a podcast again. You can search my podcasts by subject or by guest’s name…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Today I’m playing one of my WLO coaching calls for you. The main reason I want you to hear it is because Claude Diamond is the guest. Claude was an early mentor of mine. He’s been on a number of my podcasts. You can go to my website and listen to any podcast. Search by guest name or topic to find what you’re most interested in…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Today’s podcast is also available as a video… see link below. Today I am talking about a tool that will help you find the best lists to market to. It provides MLS data, does skip tracing and more. PropStream is $97.00 a month, which is an excellent price for what you get…

Welcome to the podcast! Today I want you to remember that you work for yourself. You are not any buyer’s or seller’s employee. Also, don’t use the same buyers or sellers all the time—it will cause you to lose money over time. That’s why it’s important to have a list of buyers and sellers, and pitch deals to all of them so that they compete for your deals…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. Please leave reviews of my podcasts wherever you listen to them. I need and use listener feedback. Our guest today is Kevin Bupp. I’m really glad to have him on the show because he’s in a niche we don’t talk about often. Kevin grew up in Harrisburg, PA and now lives in Clearwater, FL. He says he lucked in to real estate while in community college by working with a mentor…

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. I’m talking today about a post by Tom Krol that I saw on Facebook. It’s good advice about avoiding small deals. Set deal size limits and stick to them. Don’t simply take on a deal because it’s there. You are a real estate expert. Earn the income […]

Welcome to the podcast. I’m in my car waiting for my son to finish his cello lesson. Today, we’re going to consider how important it is to perceive of yourself as a marketer, not an investor. I’m working with an accountability group right now. It’s a push to get the group to set up their […]

Welcome to the podcast. We’re going to talk about cutting your per deal marketing costs. I watched an Eddie Speed video seminar today about creative financing, and I want to share it with you. The takeaway is to make several different types of offers on a property… give sellers options. Let sellers consider owner financing, […]

Welcome to the podcast. I‘m in my kitchen today, not my car. I am talking today about a recent email I received from Dean Jackson. His emails are interesting and helpful. You may want to get on the list to receive his articles. I send emails too… 3 a week. If you order my free […]

Welcome to the podcast. It’s a new year and a new day. I’ve decided to focus on 90-day goals this year instead of yearly goals. It’s one of the steps I’m taking to reduce overwhelm. Reducing overwhelm means that you recognize it and stop doing the things that cause it. Stop and decide what one […]

Not driving now, just walking around in the driveway. The real estate market is changing dramatically. There’s still a lot of new building going on in most cities. But some new apartment developments are having to offering incentives to get new tenants. If you’re sitting on a wholesale property, be sure to check active comps. […]

I’m driving now after a little shopping trip. I’m following up on my last podcast and talking more about data, not drama. Today we’ll talk about scorecards. What needs to be included on your scorecard? I’m going to tell you the minimum data you need for one. How many sellers did you talk to? How […]
