I want to talk about the fastest way to a deal, and I don't think you're going to like it. I'll be the first to admit I'm not going to like it either. It’s called the Flap Your Lips method, where you pick up the phone and make some phone calls. Talk to more people. Listen, I can almost guarantee you can do a deal if you talk to five people a day, every day, and you make an offer to every person that you talk to.  It's a simple thing, right? If you make five offers per weekday and make an offer to every seller you talk to, that's 25 offers a week and 100 offers a month. Maybe you get a dea ..read more

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had dug your well before you're thirsty and you already had access to private money?  With private money, you could close on smokin’ hot deals immediately ..read more

We just did a deal and netted about $21,000. I'm just going to tell you a little bit about it here. We've done a lot of deals. We've been doing this business for a long time, and I wanted to share some things with you to show you how it works. And really, golf's a lot harder than flipping land.

Have you ever read one of those hit pieces in the newspaper or online about something going on in the real estate space, or you read an article about some guru? A few weeks ago, I was reading the Wall Street Journal, and I saw this article about an apartment syndicator guru, somebody who invests in apartments and also educates the best people how to do this.

I recently did a role play with a student who was talking to a seller and wanted some pointers. The property currently has tenants, and the seller wants to evict them. He’s adamant about getting a certain price for the property and so we practiced going back and forth to negotiate and see if we could get an offer together.  In this example, you’ll see me play the role of the reluctant buyer, which is what you also want to do. You never want to chase a seller and it’s important to ask as many questions of them as possible. Don’t act like a desperate, motivated buyer. Your job is to ask que ..read more
