The truth is, we all learn through case studies. So, I'm going to share with you a detailed case study of a real deal we did this year. Example: This year we purchased a property that cash flows $650 a month with none of our own money.

At the beginning of 2001, I was growing a sales recruiting business with my best friend Brock. My wife and I had just purchased a single-family home in Mclean Virginia, and we were starting to plan for our future. I had recently finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant and I had just converted our first house hack into our first rental.

Let me kill a limiting belief that may be holding you back from buying your first investment property. You think you need money, but you don't. I see it all the time I talk with someone wanting to invest in real estate for the first time they say... "I will invest when I have the money". Unfortunately, "when" is a code word for never. The truth is that all you need is three things: 1. Sales and marketing skills. 2. A plan of action. 3. A deal.

Hey Income Flippers, recently I have been watching the Netflix Series "Life on Our Planet." My biggest takeaways...1) Our time alive is infinitesimally short in the grand scheme of things. 2) All life, since the beginning of time, has focused on one thing—survival. So how does this apply to us and what can we learn?

Let me be frank, I’ve seen a lot of real estate entrepreneurs come and go in my life and during this season of our industry, I anticipate I will see more. They come in eager and full of energy but then fade when things get hard and the results they seek don’t show up as planned. The truth is that a quick mental shift is all they need to stay in the game, but unfortunately, no one gives it to them (or they don’t listen) and they end up a casualty of this business.

Two real estate entrepreneurs start on the exact same day, they get the exact same training and are given the exact same formula for success, but one is engaged and focused and the other seems apprehensive and nervous. With that basic description, who do you think will be more successful?

Have you ever had one of those weeks (in business) where things didn't go according to plan? It's only Thursday and I feel like my week started off that way. Let me explain...

I just returned from my company advance, and our theme for 2024 is Micro Habits, Macro Vision. As part of the advance, I gifted everyone the book: The 12-Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others do in 12 months. The book provides a focused framework to help us stay on track with our long-term and short-term goals.

Recently, I have been leaving my bubble of Northern Virginia to learn and grow from some of the best in the business all across the US. Leaving the day-to-day of the business "tests my systems" and reveals areas that need improvement. In this newsletter, in 5 minutes or less, I am going to share some lessons I learned on my travels.

I'm in Sunny, Orlando getting ready for the Bigger Pockets Convention and it's the first time GRID has hosted a booth at an event. I have learned that the combination of both of those things helps me perform at my best. The purpose of attending is to expand our BRAND so we can help more real estate entrepreneurs build businesses that set them mentally and financially free! As Jessica and I were talking logistics, we somehow got on the topic of building a brand so I thought I would share why you should be obsessed with getting your brand right.

Let’s get tactical today. You want to start flipping your active income to passive but you don’t know where to start? Or, you are actively building your empire but something is wrong… Your boat has leaks and the leaks are everywhere.

In 2008, I was a recently self-employed real estate agent hustling to make ends meet during the worst economic crises since the great depression. That year, I purchased 1 rental property every month with none of my own cash or credit as the real estate world was imploding all around me. What that experience taught me was that you didn’t need money to make money, instead, you needed 3 things…

We can't run from it. We need to face the truth. We are not doing enough in our business to move the needle in a significant way. Perhaps you are the exception, but for most of us, we know we have more to give. I remember reading Grant Cardone's book, The 10X Rule many years ago and thinking, "What a dumbass book." All he is talking about is doing more, I'm already maxed out!"

I just got back from the Built How Conference where I had the opportunity to hear from Colin O'Brady, Sara Blakely, and Jesse Itzler. When was the last time you dreamt really big? Can you remember the last time you emptied your tank towards a goal? Have you been playing it safe? What does it actually mean to live a "no-limit life?"

Fall is here. I'm sitting on the front porch of our little river house, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. As I prepare for the week, I am reminded of two things: Do more of what's working. Do less of what's not.

I woke up this morning thinking about practical real-world advice on how to help you generate more business. In this newsletter, in 5 min or less, I want to share a quick story that illustrates how powerful a simple Yellow Letter can be for your business.

Last week I was reminded of the importance of playing “all in”. This week, in 5 min or less I’m going to share how to go “all in” so that you can start focusing your energy and mind on the right actions to help you supercharge your business.

I see it all the time, a badass solo entrepreneur that is so awesome at their craft that they are trapped in a job they think is a business because they can't let go.

I’m currently in Austin, Texas learning from some of the best real estate entrepreneurs in the world.

I'm currently at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, CA spending time with my NAHREP family.
