Seems like every year around this time we get a lot of people asking us our opinion on them quitting there jobs and pursuing land investing full time. It’s a cool question to get asked too because it means that our students are either doing really well or they believe in the system enough that they feel they can make it. The truth of whether someone is ready to leave their job and do this as their primary income isn’t a one size fits all though. We’ve tried really hard around here to keep it 100% honest with you and not sell you on these crazy dreams of easy, quick money that we know you’ve heard in the Real Estate Investing world. So let us dive into it today and tell you what really think and what it was like for us when we made the jump.

As business owners we need to get comfortable with change because the second we create a plan something will happen or come up that completely throws us off. As Real Estate Investors we’re lucky enough to have a built in hedge against this and that has to do with our expertise in buying properties off market and below value. By having this ability we’re able to pivot out of deals that we had certain plans for but somewhere along the line got those plans changed. Today, we’re gonna talk about one of those deals and how it was handled and the resulting profit that was made because of it.

Real estate investing success isn’t just about selling properties. It’s about selling yourself… to sellers and lenders. So, imagine what your business would look like with a consistent stream of deals… all from motivated sellers and private lenders in your market who… see YOU as the Clear Choice!

In this episode I talk to former math teacher turned real estate investor Max Keller about how he stopped chasing leads and struggling to compete for deals by positioning himself as the “Trusted Expert” with his own book. Max also shares how you can copy his strategy to Stand Out from the competition…even if you’re not a writer. You definitely don’t want to miss this. Especially if you are investing in a market packed with flippers and wholesalers… all chasing the same motivated seller leads.

As Real Estate Investors we deal with tons of moving parts and documents which means that our attention to detail needs to be spot on. There’s always multiple people to deal with and there’s no shortage of paperwork involved so missing something small is easy to do and in the long run that can cost you big if you don’t catch it. So that’s what todays show is about.. Checking all the boxes and making sure you’ve got everything done and done correctly because there’s nothing worse than realizing you made a mistake that could’ve been easily avoided if you had just paid a little more attention.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you probably heard / experienced a day without Facebook and Instagram this past week. The rumors quickly spread that these two companies were gone forever and that sent many people into a frenzy about what their futures looked like. There’s a lot of people who get their leads from Marketplace and posting regularly so that got us thinking about what they were going to do. We constantly preach that you should “be everywhere” with your marketing so with that in mind were gonna touch base on this topic and hopefully remind you that having all your marketing in one basket is a big mistake.

Being an entrepreneur is an amazing thing. You have complete control over your future and your success ultimately comes from the results that you put out. It’s not exactly glamorous like social media wants you to believe though. Yes, there are times where you’re on top of the world but that doesn’t mean you didn’t experience a million little failures on the way to success and you probably dealt with several small ones today. That’s just part of it and it’s really easy to forget that when you’re looking at someone who appears to have it all. So today, we’re gonna shed some light on what it’s really like and hopefully remind you that you’re not alone in this and we all deal with it.
