Today we're going to be talking about self-storage, and not with just anybody. Alex Pardo is really doing it, and I've known Alex for a long time. He was running a very successful house-wholesaling business before he made the pivot to self-storage. I remember thinking he may have blown it and that storage was just a fad, but I was way wrong! Here, we talk about why you should consider self-storage as another asset class and as a complement to your existing land or house flipping business. This is a strategy you can start with just a little bit of time and money. Alex shares his best and worst deals, why he moved from houses to storage, cap rates, and why storage isn’t just another fleeting trend.

Would you be interested in learning how to buy a house? Well, I've done this a couple of times, and I'm gonna tell you the secret right now. I bought lots of houses with traditional bank financing. I did OK, but I eventually reached a point where the banks wouldn't lend me any more money. Even though I had a strong portfolio, there's limits to how much property you can actually own. It was then that I realized, you know what? If I want to buy more property, I need to learn how to get creative. Here, I’ll share all the details on how I did it and show you how to make my creative strategy work for you in your business.

Today, we're going to be talking about how to fund your land deals from a different perspective. Let's talk about it from the perspective of somebody who actually lends money on deals. With all of these licensing laws that are being passed in different states, making it illegal, immoral and fattening to wholesale properties that you don't own yet, it's hard to put them on the MLS. It's hard to get a realtor to help you if you don't own it yet. You don't have to use your own money to fund deals. You can use OPM, other people's money. There are a lot of funding companies out there. Here, we’re talking to Logan Swanson about how he actually lends money on deals, what he's looking for, and how he underwrites the deals. We cover how to present a deal to a private lender and the things you need to be aware of. Your goal is to look like you know what you’re doing, and we’ll show you the formula.

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 deal during those 100 offers. The more you do, the better your chances will be. Here, I’ll tell you how to talk to realtors and give you three things to do if you want to start making more money. What’s Inside: —Why talking to people leads to more offers —Three things you can start doing today to make more money —How to find and talk to realtors

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. I love the game of golf, right? It's always challenging. It's always pushing me to learn and practice. And just like anything, especially real estate, the more you practice, the better you get at it. I have a friend named Jeremy who I've wholesaled a lot of houses with, and he handles everything I’m not good at. I’m not good at being on the phone, talking to sellers, negotiating, following up, and doing the sales stuff. I could do it; I just don't enjoy doing it. And when I don't enjoy doing something, I'm not very good at it, right? Here, I’ll talk to you about why it’s important to get really good at the basics. And if you're not good at it, then find somebody else who is.

Jeremy is a wholesaler here in Saint Louis and we’re talking about a vacant land deal that we just did. We netted about $20,682 in profit and Jeremy is one of the best guys I know in the industry. We’ve done houses together for a long time. Just a few months ago, I started telling Jeremy about land and we decided to do some land deals together in southwest Missouri in the Ozarks. Jeremy's a hard money lender and a wholesaler who likes to do the stuff that I don't like to do. He likes to go out and talk to sellers, meet with the sellers, negotiate deals, get them under contract, then flip them and sell them. I'm good at behind-the-scenes stuff. I like to do the marketing, generate the leads, set up the systems, give him the VAs, and all that stuff he doesn't like to do. And then we split the profits. Here, we show you how it’s done. What’s Inside: —Details on a recent successful land deal —Why you should let sellers talk —How to advertise properties

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'd recognized his name before, and my heart sank. After I was done, I was like, this is almost written like a promotional piece for this guy! I got more excited about investing in apartments. Brad Sumrok is here, and he shares how he got over that hit piece and how he built his multifamily investing empire. Brad walks through how syndication works and what you need to do if you’re interested in this kind of strategy. Brad’s also got a live event coming up at the end of September and he shares all the details.

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 questions and get them to come up with the number first. What’s Inside: —A live role play where we talk to a seller

Wouldn't it be nice if you never had to worry about making money? What if your business was always profitable? Is that possible? It's absolutely possible. We're going to talk about that right here with my good friend, Tom Krol. One of the things Tom talks about a lot is revenue in the first position. The concept comes from the book Profit First, by Mike Michalowicz. The profit-first strategy pulled me out of trouble and saved me from a lot of trouble. Your business will always be profitable when you're implementing profit first. What that means is putting revenue in first position, which means you look at your accounting from a revenue minus expenses equals profit perspective. We break it all down right here.

How important is mindset? Is it really that big of a deal? I struggled for years with my own mindset, even though I’ve always been optimistic. You might look around and see other people really crushing it, wondering if you even have what it takes. Here, I go over why you have to believe in yourself and how to get your mindset in the right place to start seeing massive wins in your business. If you get into your head that this stuff really works, you write it down, and you put it in front of you to remind yourself, things will fall into place.
