Episode notes
Two Years Of Podcast University Before Action
- Luke spent 2–3 years in “podcast university” consuming books and podcasts without taking action.
- He finally moved from analysis paralysis to action after repeated encouragement and a mindset shift that you either win or learn.
Use Small Action Teams To Force Momentum
- Join an accountability group to force action and accelerate deal flow.
- Luke credits Rental Property Mastery action teams and his coach Justin Foster for pushing marketing volume and sending more mailers.
Send Lots Of Personalized Mailers
- Send high volumes of targeted mailers because off-market response rates are very low.
- Luke personalized mailers with social links and a ‘kill list’ follow-up to show he’s a real person and increase callbacks.
