Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

What’s the best way to find buyers for your deals? Whether you’re doing houses or vacant land, you should already know who your buyers are before you make an offer on the property. You should make sure you're only doing deals in markets where there is already high demand. If you're targeting these kinds of markets, you'll be able to sell your deals for much higher profits, much faster. All you have to do is make some phone calls. If you find a good deal, if you're in a good market where there's a lot of demand, if you call realtors and other investors that have bought property recently, and if you don't sell your deal in 2 to 4 weeks, you probably don't have a good deal. At that point, you can just move on. It's really that simple. What’s Inside: —How to find buyers for your deals —Why you should know who the buyers are before making an offer —The advantage of partnering with others on deals

You sent out the postcards. You've gotten the leads. You started making offers. You got a good deal under contract. What are you going to do now? Where are you going to get the money to buy the deal? Maybe you can just do an assignment, a quick wholesale, or get transactional funding, but it’s getting harder and harder to do wholesale deals in this market. You can’t list a property you don’t own, and you have to be a licensed realtor. Certain states are passing restrictive laws on wholesaling. If it’s not a law in your state yet, it soon will be. So how do you get around this? Where do you find the money to close on these deals? First of all, understand that when you have a good deal, money will find you. You've got to believe that money is abundant. It's there; you just need to focus on finding good deals. You’ve got to get rid of those limiting beliefs telling you to have it all figured out first. Just get the deals. Get a good deal under contract, and the money will find you.

Wouldn’t it be cool to maybe get six figure assignments? What if you could make $100,000 as an assignment fee, doing bigger deals like commercial properties? Obviously, I can't guarantee or promise that you're going to make six figures wholesaling deals. But I can tell you this, you'll probably be more likely to make that kind of money when you're wholesaling bigger properties than you would if you're wholesaling houses or recreational vacant land. Commercial real estate can be real intimidating, right? It can be a little scary. That's why I've asked a good friend of mine, Trent Ellingford, to come on the show to talk about this. He’s a commercial real estate investor who does a lot of these bigger deals and has been teaching and helping people do commercial wholesaling. If you want to get these kinds of larger assignment deals, you're in the right spot.

Some students and clients in the community are struggling. They’re getting deals under contract, but they're not selling them. There are a few things going on here, but you’ve got to learn how to negotiate with sellers. People are struggling because they're getting a property under contract, and they're waiting too long, hoping to get the price that they want. You’re probably offering way too much, or you’re not being aggressive enough in your negotiations with sellers to get them down to their price. So how do you solve this problem? You have to become the reluctant buyer instead of the motivated buyer. When you stop chasing sellers, they start coming to you. You have to play tough. Don't let them walk over you. Don't let them tell you how it's going to work. You tell them how it's going to work. Here, I take a couple of questions from the community, do a little role playing, and show you what it looks like to be that reluctant buyer. What’s Inside: —Why you don’t want to be a motivated buyer —How to get tough with sellers and become a reluctant buyer —A role play to help you talk to sellers

I've been getting a lot of testimonials lately from folks who are doing deals. Things are actually working for them and the community that I'm trying to build inside what I'm calling my inner circle. It's just so cool to see people in there who are helping each other and partnering with each other on deals. I haven't really focused on building a community until last year, and I wanted something where people could post questions and get answers from others besides me. Whether you have too many leads or not enough, this group is the place to be. The cool thing is that people in the community are jumping in with some fantastic ideas and advice. It’s super exciting, and I'm really giddy over it because it's actually working. People are getting real results.

This walkthrough is all about how I like to talk to realtors. Some of you guys are really interested in doing marketing to bring in leads, but you might not have a ton of money to spend. A really great, free way to get a lot of leads is by calling realtors. I have a tried-and-true script that I’ll share with you. You’ll get to hear me go through it in real time with a realtor live on the line. When I cold call realtors, I start off by telling them I’m looking for a deal and then ask for information about the property. You’ll get a good idea of how things flow by listening to this real-world example. If you want access to this script to use in your own business, I’m giving it away for free.

New wholesalers often get tripped up by two major roadblocks: not having a real estate license and not having money to do deals. Here, I share some tips to help you get around these roadblocks so you can gain traction and grow your business. Some states have rules and regulations that say you have to have your license, but you can also hire realtors or buy the deal yourself. I’ll show you how to work with the rules instead of getting around them. It also helps to partner with a mentor who can set things up for you. They can help you start off on the right foot and get a good marketing plan in place so you can target the right areas with a ton of activity. Working with a mentor can be a real game-changer in your real estate business, and here, I share how I like to partner with others to do deals.

When my coaching client Josh first got started, he was doing a bunch of marketing, but was forced to put things on hold for a little while because he had a lot going on. He’s currently based in South Asia with his family, and a lot of stuff hit the fan. Now, Josh is picking things back up, and here, we recap how things have been going. In addition to getting the marketing machine back up and running, Josh’s friend has been doing acquisitions for him. They’ve gotten some deals under contract within the last three weeks, which is pretty cool. Josh and I dive into everything he’s got going on, and we walk through the next steps, how to talk to sellers and realtors, and deal closing tips.

In real estate, your business structure is really important. A lot of people have their entities set up wrong. It’s critical to get things right as soon as possible, especially if you are a beginner. Tommy from Prime Corporation Services joins me here to talk about the importance of setting up the right entities, like LLC, S-Corp, etc. I’ve done business with PCS for a long time and I highly trust and recommend them to all my students. Tommy is an expert in the industry and knows exactly what you need to get set up correctly. Even if you already have an LLC, you’ll want to pay attention to what we cover here. There’s a chance you don’t have the right privacy protections in place. Once you start doing deals and things flip from a hobby to the real deal, you’ll be glad you got your ducks in a row.

Here, I’m sharing two stories to hopefully get you pumped up and excited about your own real estate business. Two guys within my community are doing deals and experiencing big wins, all because they’re taking massive, consistent action. They’ve set up their marketing machine, and they’ve stuck with things long enough to start making some serious money. If you’ve been down on yourself and feel like you’re ready to quit, listen to this episode and don’t give up. Don't get discouraged, and you will start finding success. It's a numbers game, right? All the guys who do a lot of deals have one thing in common. They stick to the basics, they do a lot of it, and they do it over and over again. They're what I like to call brilliant at the basics. They keep it simple, easy-peasy. What’s Inside: —Success stories from the community —Why consistent action is the key to success —Info on my Saturday workshops

Haters, you gotta love them, right? My daughter recently Googled me and found at the top of the results, “Joe McCall is a scam.” Now, it bothers me. I'm a little emotional about it, right? Some chuckle had complained about something that he bought and about how it was just all wrong and jacked up. He had some legitimate complaints that we fixed. A long time ago, even before he made the complaint, I refunded his money, and he still felt the need to go on a long internet rant. If people don't hate you, then you're probably being too mediocre. When you start putting yourself out there, you're going to find haters, whether you're in the education business or not, or whether you're doing deals. I always say that if you haven’t made somebody mad by 12:00, then you're not marketing hard enough. You just have to have thick skin and be cool with it. What’s Inside: —How to deal with haters

Today we're going to be talking about probate leads. If you don’t know what they are, these leads could be the most valuable leads that you could find in your real estate investing business. These are leads where somebody passed away and they own some real estate, whether it's vacant land, houses, commercial properties, or whatever, that needs to be sold. These properties typically require a ton of work and the family just doesn’t want to deal with it. That’s where you come in. If you can get these leads, you can print money almost if you do it right. My guest Micah Nicholes is a rockstar when it comes to probate leads and here he shares everything you need to know. There are a lot of stories of stupid things that people have done with these leads, and there's a right and wrong way to approach them. Micah’s giving away a ton of valuable resources to help you with probate leads, including letter and direct mail templates and his marketing swipe file. Head to JoeMcCall.com/Probate for more info.

How many of you have ever come across an exciting deal, but then you turn around and you have no idea where the money is going to come from? You have no idea how you're going to close on the deal or how you’re going to flip it. The clock is ticking as your closing date approaches and you don't have the funds to close the deal. You're hoping you can find somebody to assign the deal to or to maybe double close. 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 and never miss out. You can make a bunch more money because you can now list it without having a real estate license, because you actually own it. You don't have to worry about all the hassle and how it's illegal, immoral, and fattening to close deals. My friend Bill Allen from 7 Figure Flipping knows all about doing deals this way. Here, he breaks everything down step by step. I also include his program for free in my Inner Circle program, which you can check out through the link below.

My friend Dustin Hoog joins me here to talk about what it’s like to be both a dad and a business owner. We get into some of the challenges, the things to watch out for, and how to maintain balance in a very busy lifestyle. First and foremost, it’s important to be a good dad.

I was really intrigued and fascinated by Dustin’s angle on things, and he shares how he got into real estate and why. It’s so tempting to dive right into business first, but it takes up most of our time and can cause a lot of problems when you make it your number one. Dustin covers the six pillars every dad must master: faith, health, marriage, parenthood, brotherhood, and business.
