Leads are the blood flow of your business, whether you're in wholesaling or just general real estate or any type of business at all. Leads are the blood flow of your business. So marketing and advertising is, I would argue, probably most important.

March 01, 2023


You know, when you first start learning about also and obviously you want to know the basics and have a general idea of what you're doing, don't get me wrong. But you know, whenever you're learning, you can learn as you do. Okay, is kind of the point. But no matter what you do in your business, you're going to do those things consistently right.

February 28, 2023


Consistency, you know, because in my opinion, you know, consistency in your business is everything. So in other videos, obviously, I do talk about taking action. Is the biggest thing that you can do when you're a wholesaler and for that matter, when you're an entrepreneur in general, Right?

February 27, 2023


And I'd basically double my money on everything that I purchased just right back on Facebook Marketplace. You just have to be a little bit patient sometimes, you know? But that's the key. You don't have to sell them right away. You can get top dollar if you're willing to wait a little bit longer.

February 26, 2023


I don't flip appliances in on a regular basis or anything, but I have done it a lot, you know, just because of the Airbnbs. I had six of them at one time, but I bought it all. I used from Facebook Marketplace and I basically double my money on everything that I purchased.

February 25, 2023


So there's opportunity if you want to flip appliances or couches or furniture of any kind, you know, there's definitely opportunity in that. Obviously, my channel is mostly about wholesale and real estate, but this is real estate related. I got these free appliances because of the real estate that I bought that I'm flipping. So hopefully this content was valuable to you.

February 24, 2023


Anybody can flip appliances, you know, you can buy appliances or typically get them for nothing. And I got $50, $60 on each one in the past. And I listen to for $25 coz’ you know, I just want to get rid of it quick. But somebody could actually probably flip that for $50 and then make a quick $25.

February 23, 2023


So long story short, you know, I sold all three of those in about a 20 to 30 minute time span, and I made an easy $350 for appliances that I got for free. You know, the contractors were like, Yeah, we're just gonna throw everything away. I'm like, No, give me a video. Let me see what's left behind. See if we can make some money on it.

February 22, 2023


So I did sell the refrigerator. I got it for $125 and they paid me by PayPal. Actually, I got the washer and dryer. A lady bought both of those together. So it was for $200. You know, I didn't negotiate the prices at all because they were cheap.

February 21, 2023


I listed those things on Facebook Marketplace. Now I've done a lot of Facebook marketplace like flipping things and just selling things to make easy money. I ended up selling all three of those appliances within probably 20 minutes.

February 20, 2023


So mobile home investing is real. It is good. You can find really cheap deals on mobile homes and houses for that matter. We've gotten houses for cheaper than that before, which I've done videos on how got a $500 house. So tune in for that if you if you want to check that out.

February 19, 2023


All my payments are for all my rentals, not just that are done through Cozy Echo, which is a service that investors use to manage their rentals. So everything is done through there. So it's auto pay every month and I'm not chasing money.

February 17, 2023


Mobile investing is not sexy. A lot of people don't do it or don't like it. But I did it strictly for the cash flow. And to this day, yes, I'm getting over $400 a month cash flow in these properties.

February 16, 2023


It is possible if you're out there looking and searching actively for deals. There's deals everywhere, I promise. Also, I actually befriended the manager at that mobile home park, and she's actually throwing me deals, you know, for properties at the park. Don't want anymore.

February 15, 2023


So long story short, Yes, about six mobile homes and a mobile home park for $12,000. To this day, I think it's the best purchase I've ever made. Actually, those properties made me a ton of money. More than you can even realize.

February 14, 2023


Anyway. So I did buy, you know, all those properties for $12,000 just by searching on Facebook Marketplace. Just. Just searching by accident. I wasn't looking necessarily for anything. I just happened to see those and struck a deal with the lady. And she was super happy to have 12,000 and I was super happy. You know, these properties. I researched it. Obviously first they could rent for, you know, $800 to $900 a month, depending on, you know, condition and that kind of thing. So I knew I could probably get $850 for sure.

February 13, 2023


Looked at these properties. So when I looked at them, I found out that one of them was a 2015 2015 property. It was in really good condition. It stunk really bad because the people that lived there had animals. So I knew right off, well, it looks like all I have to do is replace the carpet in this one. So that was good. Another property she had was a 2014 and it was in very similar condition, but there were three others that were like 2003, 2005, 26 someone that in that time period when they rebuilt. So anyways, those need a little bit more work, which was fine, you know, because the deal was so good. I was basically getting these for 2000 each.

February 12, 2023


So obviously, you know, that was motivation that I leaned on, you know, just talking through that with her, you know, letting her know that, hey, you know, I can come up tomorrow, bring you a certified check from my bank and we can get this done fast. I was like, I want but I want all six of them for $12,000. Like, that's not negotiable. That's what I'm willing to do, you know, because I'm weighing the side and saying, you know, I don't really know what I'm getting into, but I'm willing to take that risk and help you out before the first. So you have to pay that lot rent again. So keep in mind, you know, I'll be hooked for the lottery, you know, when it comes back around here in a couple of weeks. But I do $12,000 certified check and we'll call them. So she agreed.

February 11, 2023


I'm like, Wow, okay, this is a good deal, right? So we just kept talking and I'm like, okay, well, you know, that sounds like we're closer, at least, you know, as opposed to 10 to 18000 each. Now you're at 20,000 for all five. So we talked a little more. She came down to 18 pretty quick. So she did have motivation to get rid of these because it was costing her for around $400 every month to keep these properties just in her name. So she was definitely motivated just for that reason.

February 09, 2023

Long story short, we just started negotiating. Once she knew that I was really interested. I'll be nowhere near the price that you're asking for each one of these. So what would you do for me if I were to buy all of six? After a while, she thought about it and got back to me. You know, like 30 minutes to an hour later. So she ended up saying that she would sell five of these properties. She's like, one of them is really, really bad, so I don't think you'll want that one. So how about I just do these five and I'll give you all five of these for $20,000.

February 08, 2023

She had a couple of other listings and they were kind of all similar mobile homes, all listed between 10,000 and $18,000 per place. So, I started talking to her. I'm like, well, I see that you have a couple of different listings. And she said, Yeah, I do actually have. I think she said she actually had like seven total. I was like, okay, that's cool. I might be interested in multiple of your properties if you want to sell all of these, I might be interested!

February 07, 2023

However, I was up, one night and just messing around on on Facebook marketplace. And I just happened to see one mobile home that she had listed. She had the mobile home was for like 18,000 or something. It was it was way too high. Now, in my business is a side note, it's our policy at least in the market that we mainly buy in. This deal was in Oklahoma. You know, it's our policy that we don't pay more than $5,000 for a mobile home. I don't care how new or old it is. That's just what we do. So, keep that in mind. So that's a side note.

February 06, 2023

Today I'm going to do a video on how I got six mobile homes for $12,000. And yeah, that seems like an impossible thing, but it's true and we'll dive into how I did that. So, I was just searching Facebook marketplace. Now, keep in mind, I don't ever look for deals on Facebook or Craigslist or any of those things. I know they are out there, but it is time consuming. And, you know, it's difficult to get those a lot of times. I just want you to know that that's not how I search for deals. That's not one of our marketing channels to just search Facebook marketplace.
 

February 05, 2023

Because that's one thing too hard. Money is not going to give you a loan if it's not a great deal, you know, because then you will be stuck with a with a lemon, you know. So typically, they're pretty conservative when they loan money because they want to make sure their money is safe.
 

February 04, 2023

Sometimes hotels make sense because buyers don't always necessarily want your deal. And it's not because it's not a deal all the time. Maybe it's timing. Maybe it's location. Maybe it's a lot of different reasons. They can't see the vision of what it could be. Whatever that reason is, if you know you've got a strong deal and it's really good, it's worth wholetail. And even if you have to get a hard money loan or something like that, if it's really worth it.

February 02, 2023


Either way. So that turned my fifth month of wholesaling into $143,000 in profit, just five months in the business. So keep in mind six or seven of those were real actual wholesale deals and that one was hotel.

February 02, 2023


This was a kind of a hoarder house, too. There was crap and junk everywhere. So it looks worse than it really was. And that's the hard thing to. So what I did was I had to remove everything. So constantly, 6000 dollars to have the place completely cleaned out. So after it was cleaned out, just so it's a little more presentable. And then I immediately went to an investor friendly realtor that I knew that I just met, obviously, and she listed it for us. So we listen it for I think we listened for like 85,000 initially.

February 01, 2023


When Wholesaling Real Estate leads come in, many of them are not very motivated and some are ready to sell now! Check out this video as I talk to a seller, but She’s Not Motivated Enough! Live Seller Call!

So my justification was, you know, yeah, we've got to bring the laundry inside. Three bedroom, one and a half minimum. You know, that's just what the market in the area called for, because currently it was a21. You know, I told her, you know, I just need to be close to 20 grand. And she was just like, man, 20 grand. That's man, I can't do that. She's like, Can you do a 28? You know, she was just like, she was already willing to work with me. So, long story short, I did. I closed with four with 25,000.

January 29, 2023


So long story short, you know, I'm going to go sit with the lady and just said, hey, there's more repairs needed than I thought, you know? You know, because that was the feedback that buyers were telling me, you know, that most of them were saying 60 to 70 in repairs. And I was thinking 40 to 50 initially. So I was like, you know, I need to honestly be closer to 20,000 to really make this work. There's just a lot more going on here, a lot more repairs than I anticipated, because that's the thing. When you renegotiate, you have to justify your discount.

January 28, 2023


I did make over 143,000 my fifth month. Six or seven of those were just normal wholesale deals. But one of the other ones, so October I started, you know, started in September. So during November, I got this property and no buyers wanted it at all. And I couldn't figure out why. I mean, I got the swing for a steal. The property was worth between 150, but up to 30, probably depending on your finishes. And sure, the market in this area was super tight. So it was kind of block by block in a lot of scenarios that was really tie in. Some investors were scared of that. You know, that's why the big range 150 to 230 RV. But I was like conservatively, it's definitely worth, you know, 200.

You know, and the reason that happened and how I was able to achieve that. First and foremost, obviously, you know, God gave me the talent to To also, I believe, you know, really just for sales and marketing. And that's really what this business truly is, is sales and marketing. And God just gave me a different widget. So I'm super grateful for that. I thank God every day for what he's given me. And I ask him for more. More deals that come through our pipeline and to always give him the present glory for it all. OK. But besides that, obviously, you know, he's not going to help you if you don't help yourself. So what I did was consistent action every single day, all day, making the right moves, making the phone calls, doing what I needed to do to move the needle to get more deals, you know? They don't just fall in your lap. You got to work for it. Wholesaling is hard, but it's worth it. OK.

January 26, 2023


How I made $143,000 my 5th month in the business. 5 months! So how did I do $143,000 my 5th month of business? So I started wholesaling and my first full month was October of 2018, so I learned about it like mid September. My first closing, which I had 7 or 8 closings in October of 2018 and we made 72 grand my very first month and did the same thing November, December and January and February. So February was my 5th month. So during the month of February I actually closed on 7 or 8 deals somewhere in that ballpark. I made 143,000 a little bit over that during that particular month.

It doesn't really matter what you do. Just do something. The biggest thing is just take action so you can actually get these cheques however you get them is up to you and it doesn't really matter but just get them right, get the big cheques, get the small cheques all cheques matter.

January 21, 2023


So, whatever it is to keep you moving to keep you pushing forward, keep you thriving and striving for that next deal, that's what you should do. Every little thing that you do in this business matters, you know, because this is a simple business, you know? In theory, so even all the little things make a difference. You know, if maybe me physically getting those cheques in hand, maybe that caused me to keep going and pushing harder.

January 19, 2023


So, it's really up to you. You know I know some people that they only get cheque, some people only get direct deposit, some people don't care, they just do whatever you know, that's just up to you and like I said at the end of the day, he really cares. It doesn't matter. But at the same time doesn't matter. Maybe it does. You know, because if your if your money Motivated and you see these physical cheques in your hand and that actually motivates you to get more at the same time just clicking on your bank account to your phone app, motivate you to when it goes from 50,000 all of a sudden you close another deal now it's 65,000. I mean if that's motivating to you then go that route.

January 17, 2023


If it's direct deposit because you're scatterbrained and you need to focus more on getting on the phone sellers and all those kind of things and not be distracted by life. If you go out to actually drive to a title company to do that, then always choose direct deposit.

January 15, 2023


So, I would say, you know, at the end of the day sure it doesn't matter at all. Who cares if you get a physical cheque or you get a direct deposit? You know, it doesn't really matter what matters is at the end of the day, are you getting paid? How you get paid? It doesn't really matter actually relevant to be honest. But I did this video just because you know, whatever it takes. You know, this business is highly mindset shifting mindset changing. If it takes getting a physical cheque to keep you motivated and keep your mind right, then get a physical cheque.

January 14, 2023


So, 2020 was the year, I was like okay, I'm gonna actually get physical cheques again, so 2020 was really all about my mindset. So, I wanted those physical cheques in hand again just to see how many of those I can collect, you know what I mean? So, so I literally, every time I got a cheque, you know, I would take a picture with my phone, you know, it was motivation for me more than anything, so that's the main reason I did it.

January 12, 2023


So anyways, I was always in the mindset, you know, going to physically pick up a chick is a complete waste of time. And it's not efficient when you could have used that time, maybe on the phone, trying to talk to sellers or following up with people you've already spoken to trying to get those, those other deals, you know, in line to keep your pipeline full. So that's exactly what I did. You know, I just want money in my bank account. That's all I really want, right? And I want to keep going.

January 08, 2023


I was like after the first one. I didn't want to check anymore. I just wanted that direct deposit that wire. Okay. When you deposit a larger check, oftentimes they will put a holding period on part of that check. Okay? So, if you deposited $10,000, for example, your check might only allow you to actually act Access $2500 of that and hold the other $7500, you know, for another 15 or 20 days. You know, that's just what they do sometimes, but why they go through the verification process, you know, that's exactly the reason I ended up just going ahead and doing direct deposits after my first deal.

January 07, 2023


When I first started, I want this first check in my hand because you know, my very first deal, I wanted that proof of concept. I wanted that check in my hand just to see what that felt like, what that looked like. You know, as far as the wholesale deal goes. So, you know, the very first deal I got was I closed on October 3rd of 2018. That was my very first payday. Okay. And I made $5200 on that property and knowing what I know now I could made a lot more on that property. But you know, everybody starts somewhere and that was just how my first still rolled out. Okay. So, 5200 bucks, you know, so I was all about yes please. I want an actual check in my hand so I can see that so I can show my wife, you know, show my friends. Just prove to myself that, hey, this is real. I've got an actual check in my hand that I can prove that it's real and I want more of these. Okay, so that was my mindset at first.

January 06, 2023


What's up guys? So it's completely okay to just be honest with sellers, right? Because we can't buy every property, We pay cash for deals and we want them cheap, Right? So if somebody's asking way over retail, it's okay to be honest with them. So check out this conversation I had with the seller today.

https://youtu.be/ZNd6cBHZBkw

January 04, 2023


Should we get like when we get paid on a deal from a title company isn't important? And doesn't matter. Should we get an actual check in our hand? Or should we just have them wire the funds to us? All right, so let's just get into it.

January 03, 2023
