Jared left the hard labor as a project manager in oil and gas for a desk job when he took custody of his three kids. He also took a 50% pay cut, which didn’t sit well with him. He too looked to real estate as a means to escape his regular job. Both struggled initially, but learned as they went. Jared found Cody on Facebook, and the two connected over a wholesale deal. After that, they partnered up and used their talents to build a wholesaling business. They really bloomed when Covid-19 and lockdowns hit. Instead of shutting down or pressing pause, they increased their marketing and efforts. The gamble paid off big, as their business boomed, they have expanded to other states and are continuing their upward trajectory. And their book is being released on December 12, 2020, which you can check out at TexasSizeWholesaling.com. Connect with or find more information about Cody on Facebook or Instagram, and Jared on Facebook or Instagram. Show Notes Cody and Jared join Steve to discuss how they created a partnership as they learned real estate and built a business. They discuss missteps, losses, the books and education that made a big difference, and their strategies and triumphs. This is a real tale of two guys who chased their dreams and made it big. Top 5 Takeaways from Cody and Jared: 5.  Don’t get caught up in buying software, doing this, doing that. Just pick up the phone and call, put out bandit signs, get a deal. You can figure it out as you go. 4. When you need to hire people, hire them. But have a process for interviewing and evaluating them. Have goals and targets for them so you can measure performance. 3. Training your employees is key, but you don’t have to create everything. There are tons of videos you can use to train for acquisitions, dispositions, etc. Don’t reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to. 2. Be careful of the bright, shiny objects. They can distract you from what you need to do. It’s OK to want to go after big things, but don’t lose sight of what you need to do daily. 1. Learn how to organize and manage your business, and then do it. Always strive to learn more and improve yourself. You can train your team to do the daily work, and you can focus on the new things you want to do. Bonus Takeaway: Just do it. Get started, NOW.

Brett Snodgrass & Brian Snider talk about how they got started in real estate, partnering up, finding their true purposes, and Brett eventually stepping out of the company and into the owner’s box.

The only odd thing was that Brett lived in Indianapolis, IN. He eventually decided to move the business to Indianapolis permanently, founding Simple Wholesaling and leaving the Ohio markets. Brett is a big proponent of education and constantly improving yourself and your team.  Brett continued to build his business, eventually hiring his friend Brian Snider three years ago to help him run the business. This partnership has allowed Brett to concentrate on his passion, education and content creation. Brian Snider was a teacher for 14 years and on a career path to become a principal when he decided he did not want to run a school. He joined Brett about three years ago and the two worked together to build Simple Wholesaling. He moved up rapidly through various positions to the Integrator/COO position.  Today Brett has moved out of daily operations altogether and into the Owner’s Box, still involved with the business but in a new oversight role, content creator with their podcasts (The Real Estate Investing with a Purpose podcast and the local market The Indy Investor Pod).  Brian has stepped into the Visionary/CEO position and is continuing to grow and expand Simple Wholesaling, adding services and expanding their real estate investor education programs. Connect with or find more information about Brett and Brian at www.simplewholesaling.com, brett@simplewholesaling.com, or brian@simplewholesaling.com. Show Notes Brett and Brian join Steve to explain how they expanded Brett’s company, the systems and organization Brian helped install, and how Brett has now stepped away from the company and fully into the Owner’s Box with Brian taking the reins and continuing their expansion. It’s a different story than many because it shows you can take a different path to your business. Top 5 Takeaways from Brett and Brian: 5.  Definitely use a hiring system to screen applicants. Not having a system will result in you continuously hiring the wrong people for the wrong seats. 4. Don’t wait to hire more people. If you delay until your pipeline is full, you won’t have time to train new hires. Get people onboard while you have time to educate and train them. 3. Get educated. Masterminds, sales training (especially Steve’s training), learning and implementing good systems will all make your life much easier and your business much less hectic and more profitable. 2. Give back. Sharing your experience and knowledge may seem counterintuitive because you feel like you’re training your competition, but in fact you can build your business and contacts by helping others. In addition, you will be known as the go-to person for advice and help, which can have deals and opportunities come your way which otherwise might not. 1. Your roles in the business can (and probably will) change over time. That’s OK! If you tire of doing the work, you can bring on other good people who can have the excitement and energy to run the daily operations while you transition to an owner oversight role. Bonus Takeaway: Decide to take action and commit to doing it with purpose. Scaling up your business can be done with a good hiring process, and scaling up can exponentially grow your business. If you train your people and yourself, you can build the business and eventually step out of the daily operations while giving others the opportunity to achieve their own goals within the business.

Dan Brault talks about what got him into real estate, how excessive optimism led him into catastrophes with massive debt, and how he ended up paying back all of his personal debt in just one year.

He was a successful medical device salesman who gave up a six figure job to become wildly successful at real estate. Now, in addition to owning an expanding real estate wholesaling business, he is a member of the Front Row Dads group, which helps business owners balance their family-work balance. Connect with or find more information about Dan at instagram.com/ActionDanBro, facebook.com/housebuyersclubllc , or instagram.com/HouseBuyersClub  Show Notes Steve and Dan discuss how Dan took his business from being $350,000 in personal debt to paying his parents back, quitting his six figure job, and booming his real estate business. Dan is brutally honest about his struggles and what he did to fix the problems he was experiencing. Top 5 Takeaways from Dan Brault: 5.  You are going to fail in this business. Expect it and don’t let it knock you out.  4. You can start your real estate business while you work another job. It can help you have money saved up or produced for the times when you aren’t making money (or you’re losing money) in your real estate business. 3. Find out what you do well and what you like to do. Then hire people who can do the things you aren’t good at or don’t like to do. Get trained in and use predictive indexing — it is worth the investment and will save you many times the cost by helping you to avoid hiring the wrong people. 2. Systems, systems, systems. You won’t make it without putting in place good systems. You don’t have to develop them yourself; there are many ready to use systems available. 1. You can make the big money and create the lifestyle you want in real estate, or in any other business. To do so, you have to work at it constantly by self-improvement, by trying to get better every day, and by taking action. All the education in the world is useless if you don’t, at some point, put the knowledge into action. Bonus Takeaway:  Steve’s training transformed my business. Now about 95% of what I do was learned directly from Steve’s program, and it has made my business boom and also enjoyable. I would never have had this level of success without taking Steve’s program. Get trained so you can be successful. About Steve Trang Steve Trang is the founder of the Real Estate Disruptors movement and host of the Real Estate Disruptors Podcast.

Eric Brewer talks about how he went from selling cars to flipping houses. Along the way, he learned how to lead other people to help his company wholesale, whole-tail, flip, and turn key 375 investor transactions while also doing 400+ retail transactions. Join us to learn more about Novations at www.brewermethod.com Video Replay of Interview with Eric Brewer Start Your Real Estate Disruptors Journey by visiting https://l9aljqz8k7.wpdns.site SHOW NOTESDownload SHOW NOTES How Eric Brewer’s Investment Arm Does 375 Deals A Year While His Retail Team Does 75MM+ In Volume With Eric Brewer, Integrity First Home Buyers Oct. 21, 2020 About Eric Brewer Eric Brewer joined CR Property Group in 2006. Since then the company has bought, renovated, and sold well over 2,500 homes in Pennsylvania. In 2017, he became an Owner allowing him to utilize his extensive background and experience in the acquisition, rehabilitation, sale of real estate, and to grow the brand to also include; Integrity First Home Buyers and Clear 2 Close Renovations.  Connect with or find more information about Eric at integrityfirsthomebuyers.com, Eric@integrityfirsthomebuyers.com, or facebook.com/IntegrityFirstHomeBuyers. Find out more about the Brewer Method at www.BrewerMethod.com. Show Notes Steve and Eric discuss Eric’s early experiences in real estate, how he and his partner build Integrity First Home Buyers, the massive volume the company does and how they find and evaluate deals, the importance of networking and education, and introduce the Brewer Method — using a Novation agreement to turn leads you would normally trash into big profits. Top 5 Takeaways from Eric Brewer: 5.  Find what you do well in your business, and hire the right people to do the parts you either don’t like or are not good at doing.  4. Good salespeople are usually messy and bad with paperwork; so let your salespeople do sales and hire detail-oriented people to take the paperwork off the salespeople’s hands. You will have much better compliance with far fewer errors, and much better sales because your salespeople won’t be grinding through the paperwork they hate. 3. Know your market and use your lead gen/data providers to help you define your target properties. It’s better to do fewer deals but make two to three times the profit than to run yourself ragged. 2. Look for ways you can legally differentiate yourself in hot markets. Right now, it’s a seller’s market and investors are competing heavily for properties. If you offer something unique, like the Brewer Method’s Novation strategy, you can position yourself as one of the few investors who can help sellers by getting the what they need from their property. 1. Every contract — every single one — should have a Novation provision in it. This gives you flexibility as the investor to offer Novation terms to a home seller, allowing you to close more deals that other investors cannot touch. The Brewer Method can show you exactly how to do this legally and ethically. Bonus Takeaway:  If Eric could go back and change anything, he would have paid for and used masterminds, education, and better networking with other successful real estate investors early on. Once he started using mastermind groups like Collective Genius and other training programs, especially business organization and management training, Integrity First Home Buyers experienced a 50% increase in transactions completed with less pressure, stress, and problems. Don’t put off getting educated on how to run your business. About Steve Trang Steve Trang is the founder of the Real Estate Disruptors movement and host of the Real Estate Disruptors Podcast.

Amy Ransdell talks about how she started in real estate by negotiation short sales, become a licensed real estate agent, and ultimately becoming a sophisticated real estate investor. She also shares what kind of mindset you need to have to succeed in real estate and how getting licensed in real estate adds hundreds of thousands in revenue.

Amy is a transformation coach, an active real estate investor, real estateinvestment mentor, real estate agent coach, investment strategist,licensed real estate broker, brokerage owner, speaker, and marketinglead for multiple companies.Connect with or find more information about Amy atfacebook.com/artist.amy,linkedin.com/in/amy-ransdell-realtor-atlanta,instagram.com/amyransdell_bepowerhouse, or bepowerhouse.com Show NotesSteve and Amy discuss her career in building her real estate empire, her passion for mentoring and education, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and how you can use it to improve your business and your life, and truly becoming an entrepreneur.Top 5 Takeaways from Amy Randsell: 5. Be at cause with your business, which means being in control of events, properties, and all other aspects of your investment company. The more you are in control, the fewer mistakes and emergencies you will experience and the less stress you will experience. 4. You need to know your numbers. If you’re not looking at your numbers, you will be wasting time and money. 3. Becoming an entrepreneur from a solopreneur is moving from being the one responsible for doing everything to hiring good people, training them well, watching the numbers and having the business running so that it can function even if you’re not there. 2. Investors should add a licensed realtor to their team. The training and perspective of a realtor is very different from that of an investor, so they approach properties from different viewpoints. Conversely, realtors should associate with or include investors in their businesses to bring an investor perspective and market properties to investors that are best suited for investors. 5. Training is the key to improving your business. Invest in good training, look into virtual VAs, and get your team well trained and continue their training. Set goals, track targets, know what you need to achieve to drive both revenue and profits. With good training and education, you will be able to adapt to market changes and keep moving forward. Build outyour circles of influence and your networks, foster them, and they will help you grow.Bonus Takeaway: Amy highly recommends training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (“NLP”) because of the sales and people management tools you can develop using it. NLP helps you predict human behavior based on how a person responds to questions you ask (both verbal and non-verbval responses) and can assist you in closing more deals and getting better results.

Tyler Austin talks about his journey from military, to contractor, to eventually hacking data to maximize profit margins. Tyler is using data differently to reduce his competition.

He is the founder of Florida Cash Real Estate, a real estate investment company, located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. They specialize in solving even the most difficult real estate issues by buying houses for cash. They love buying houses along the Emerald Coast, as this is where we’re from and it is the people, land, and problems that we understand best. Florida Cash Real Estate helps people through difficult situations such as a property inheritance, fire damaged homes, landlords who are tired of dealing with non-performing properties, and people who simply want to sell their house without any hassle or red-tape. Florida Cash Real Estate is a family and veteran-owned business that focuses on helping homeowners when they need it most. Tyler also created REISift, software for real estate professionals to help them obtain data on properties and clean it up to be more useful and help them be more successful at closing deals. REISift makes your property data simple and serves as a one-stop command centre for investors to pinpoint distressed properties and capitalize on motivated sellers.  Connect with or find more information about Tyler at www.linkedin.com/in/tyleraustinoriginal, www.facebook.com/floridacashre, www.instagram.com/tyleraustinoriginal, www.floridacashrealestate.com, or learn more about REISift software at www.REISift.io.  Show Notes Steve and Tyler discussed how Tyler used refined data and personal communications to produce over $1 million in revenue on just $30,000 in marketing spending. Tyler’s shares how he obtained his amazing results, why he continues to achieve such results with minimal marketing expenses, and how you can take his techniques and apply them to your business. If you could close more deals by reducing your marketing and data costs, wouldn’t you implement these strategies? Listen to the full podcast on Real Estate Disruptors for all Tyler’s tips and tricks, and more! Top 5 Takeaways from Tyler Austin 5. Education is a key to success in starting your real estate business. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take courses, find a mentor, ask someone for help, and mastermind courses are super helpful.  4. Connections with local business owners can open the doors to getting deals done. Sometimes you may need help with a city zoning or other matter, or you may get leads for new and different projects or properties coming available, or connections to partners or private money sources, or even a hot lead. Your local Chamber of Commerce is a great resource, but you have to be involved regularly to make it work for you. 3. All the data you need is available, you just need a system to organize it, strip out the information you don’t need, and make it usable for your business. However, simply buying data is not efficient — you need to be able to extract the important data and discard the irrelevant. Software is invaluable and a big time-saving tool to get you accurate data quickly and easily. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on data, you just need to use the right tools to clean up the mountains of data available. 2. Your team is critical to your success. A big myth in real estate is that you need a lot of salespeople. Hire people to do the things you either are not good at or don’t like to do. Don’t over-hire; keep your staff lean and focused. If your people aren’t getting results, it may be your management of them, or they may be in the wrong role or the wrong person for the job. Not getting results doesn’t mean you need more people, you may need better training or different people. 1. Using data and combining it with user accounts from social media can make contacting potential sellers easy. Having a third party who knows the potential seller make an introduction is a fantastic way to get in the door with some degree of authority. Most people have the same or similar usernames on their email, Facebook, Instagram, etc., and you can often find them and connect through those media.  Bonus Takeaway:  People and data are the two most valuable things to your business. Hire good, motivated people who use the data to connect with people in the community. You have to talk to people. Real voicemails lead to real conversations, which lead to real deals and real help for people. It’s not always that you’re buying someone’s house at a certain price, but you’re helping them out of a tough situation by getting them cash when they really need it. That happens much more frequently when you use data to find people, and use communication to find out what they really need.

Show Notes Steve and Tucker discussed how he made $800,000 in profit from one flip, including his advice on how you can do the same thing. Listen to the full podcast on Real Estate Disruptors to get Tucker’s advice, lessons learned, and what is needed to start your very own podcast! Top 5 Takeaways from Tucker Merrihew 5.  When doing flips, having a good General Contractor (GC) and a good relationship with your GC is key to getting flips done on time and on budget with quality work.  4. Want to host your own podcast? Just do it! But you MUST be committed to continue doing it. As with anything in the real estate industry, having a high level of stick-to-itiveness is the key to success, no matter where the market may take you. 3. Relationships are the key to success. Knowing people in all areas of real estate can make your life easier and can give you resources you need when you need them. 2. Real estate business is a progression — don’t jump in the deep end right away. Start with wholesaling, or easy flips (carpet, paint, minor repairs); don’t start with high end flips (big investment = big risk even though payoff can be big). Learn on smaller projects where a mistake won’t bankrupt you. 1. Making big profits on high end flips is about three things:  Floorplan, Finishes, Lot. In the high end market, you can’t force a property to be what it isn’t. Buyers willing to pay millions for a property won’t accept substandard fixtures, a bad floorplan, or a bad lot. Two of these you can fix (with enough money), but you can’t fix a bad lot (and watch out for flag lots!). Bonus Takeaway:  Everything Tucker does is done with intention, from the parameters of their direct mail marketing to their home design to their podcasts and software app. If you’re not going to set exactly what you want and go after it hard, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it because success will be difficult to achieve.

Willny Guifarro started wholesaling right after he graduated high school.

He began his career in the real estate industry before graduating from high school and completed his first wholesale deal shortly after. Willny operates in Texan and Ohio, and has built his businesses from scratch. He mentors new real estate investors through his wholesaling teaching program, and he is very active on Twitter.

Top 5 Takeaways from Willny Guifarro: 5.  Real estate is not for the meek — it’s hard work and you have to put in the effort.  4. Don’t get discouraged if you have to make a lot of phone calls to get some contracts. And understand that not all of your contracts are going to close. Real estate is a numbers game, so you have to drive up your numbers. 3. One of the biggest things Willny would change about his real estate journey would be to pay for education when he first made some decent money. Willny said had he done that early on, he would have made much more money and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in mistakes with deals, employees, etc. 2. Scaling is the new buzzword in real estate investing, but you have to hire the right people. You lose much more money hiring the wrong people who don’t want to work hard than you do developing a system for hiring, training, evaluating, and firing when necessary. Don’t pay a good salary; commission-based pay keeps people hungry. Don’t be in such a rush to scale up that you scale for the wrong reasons, so scale too much too fast. 1. Resetting your business when things feel out of control may be the best thing you can do. Be critical of your organization, your hiring and training, your methods and procedures. If your business has become unfocused, or employees aren’t getting it done, don’t be scared to pull back a little, reset and reorganize, and then dive back into it with clear intentions.Consistency is huge — it helps your employees and it helps you keep on track. Bonus Takeaway:  You will make mistakes! Understand that this will happen, but don’t lose your determination. Learn from your mistakes, plan for tomorrow, and keep working.  About Steve Trang Steve Trang is the founder of the Real Estate Disruptors movement and host of the Real Estate Disruptors Podcast.

Ivo Draginov and Jesse Burrell are two wholesalers that joined up along with Anny Draginova to create Batch Skip Tracing along with a few other services. They changed the way skip tracing was done, and they’ve created even more businesses since. Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman was very instrumental to their success.

They found that using the management strategy contained in Rocket Fuel they were able to take their combined business to exponentially higher levels. Jesse takes on the visionary role, while Ivo leads the development side as integrator. They also added Ivo’s sister Annie, who is also an integrator and handles the company’s finances, operations, and other management duties. Now the trio has a company with about 80 employees. They continue to grow their business, still wholesaling but now developing software under the Batch brand:  Batch Dialer, Batch Skip Tracing, Batch Leads, Batch Ringless, and the new Batch Driven products. Find out more at www.batchdriven.com. Connect with or find more information about Jesse on Instagram @JesseBurrell and Ivo at @IvoDraginov. Show Notes Steve talks to Jesse and Ivo about how they used Rocket Fuel to launch their partnership, grow to 80 employees, and add an entire software development team with fantastic products to help real estate investors sort through the mountains of data they encounter. They discuss how important it is to hire the right people for the right jobs, and how to sift and interview people so you get the right person. Finally, they emphasize how you can make your position in the business be just the things you enjoy doing when you build with the right people. Top 5 Takeaways from Jesse and Ivo: 5. A partnership can be a beautiful thing, but you have to complement each other’s strengths. If you are the same type of person, it may not work well because you will be constantly getting in each other’s way and important jobs won’t get done. 4. Hire the right people for the right job. Hire early, and don’t be afraid to move a person to another job if that is where his or her strengths lie.  3. Put in systems and organization. But don’t reinvent the wheel; use a system like Traction/Rocket Fuel to organize, and keep organized with quarterly meetings. 2. Use and accountability chart. Initially you may be in all boxes as a solopreneur, but as you hire, assign those boxes and those people are responsible for that work. And don’t forget to hold yourself accountable too. 1. You can mold your ideal job within your business doing only the things you want to do, and at the same time, grow your business to fantastic levels of success. Remember, you may be able to do everything (and you should know how to do everything), but that doesn’t mean you should do everything. In fact, less is more as you’re able to hire on help. Bonus Takeaway: Not sure whether to partner up with someone? Enter into a short-term contract (like 3 or 6 months) and see how it goes. In the end, if it didn’t work out, no harm done and hopefully you made some money and learned something about yourself. But if it did work, you may have found a person you can grow a great business with.
