Listen / Share / DownloadShow NotesThis week Danny is joined by Doug Watts Jr, a new investor born and raised in Austin, Texas. His story starts out as a commercial general contractor where he stayed for 10 years as a field engineer and later superintendent. Like many of us, he was drawn in by the freedom that real estate investing can give you and he dove straight into educating himself and taking action to get started! Doug actually completed 2 flips while working full time, making a profit of $63,000 on the first and $109,000 on the second. Just 6 months ago, he decided to take his investing business full-time and has since listed 2 houses for sale that he flipped (that’s a projected profit of $50,000 in his first 6 months working for himself. In this episode, Doug also shares a cautionary tale of sorts that anyone should be looking out for, about the importance of making sure that every box is checked when it comes to your business. While Doug may not be your typical, “House Flipping Guru,” he is determined to make it happen for him and his family and his resilience is something to be admired. His open-book take on both his successes and his mistakes allows us to see what a new investor actually looks like, as well as take a look at the internal struggle of being afraid to lose all of your money, but also knowing that it takes spending money to make money.

Listen / Share / DownloadShow NotesTim Steele has been investing in real estate in Burlington, Iowa area for about 8 years, becoming a full-time investor about 6 months ago. Growing up his parents had rental properties, so he’s always been familiar with the world of real estate and always knew that it was something he wanted to pursue. After 10 years of service in the Marines, a degree in business, and 3 years as an Operations Manager, he knew it was time to come home to Iowa and really start going for his dream. In this episode, Tim shares what it’s like to invest in a small market, including both the challenges and the benefits of flipping houses in a smaller market. Tim says, “The deals are out there; you can always find deals. But, with a market population less than 100,000, there are not enough of the same kind type of deal. So, we have done a variety of deals: land, multi-family, foreclosure, trustee auctions, subject to, out of state owners, wholesale and currently working on our first spec home. In 2017, we did 9 deals. This year we are on pace to do 18 – 20 deals.” Links www.houseandhomeproperties.com Please Rate and Review This is my simple request: If you enjoy the podcast and look forward to hearing a lot more episodes, I would be very grateful, happy, beholden and otherwise indebted to you to rate and review the podcast on iTunes.

Alan Biel Alan Biel bought and renovated his first house in 2004, just after he graduated from college and married his wife, Amber. Their original plan was to live in the house, but they ended up selling it for a decent profit and this led them to do the same thing several more times in the next 10+ years or so. In 2016, he began flipping on a larger scale, and by the end of 2017, he knew he needed to make some changes to his semi “solo-preneur” operation. He decided that he would finish the flips he was working on and then try something different. So, he joined a top Mastermind group in January of 2018, learned what wholesaling was, partnered up with James Hodges in March of 2018, and they began wholesaling full time! James Hodges In 2013 he graduated from College and got married to my wife Meagan. They lived in College Station for a year after they got married and then spent the next two years traveling to various countries around the world doing volunteer and missions work. At the end of 2015, their first daughter was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Shortly after she was born they moved back to Texas and began a career as a personal fitness trainer. He did this for 2 years, eventually starting his own online fitness business. At the beginning of 2018, he made the decision to pursue Wholesaling, as was not getting the traction he wanted in my fitness business, nor was he living the lifestyle he wanted. He began his wholesaling journey February 2, 2018, and started to gain quick traction within weeks of starting. In March of 2018, he met and partnered up with Alan Biel, and they began Wholesaling full time.

Carter enjoys taking on challenges, as shown by his very first deal which was a remote burn house located halfway across the country. In just a few short years, his real estate investing business has acquired 9 rental units, completed 8 flip/wholetail deals, and 10 wholesale deals! In his own words, Carter says that this episode is concentrated on, “showing people how to go from sitting at the starting line, wondering how they’re going to get started, car parked, transferring into neutral, to getting into drive, into about 25 mph, getting them started in those first few steps to get them to 100.” Links Contact Danny: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Facebook: @iamdannycarter Craigslist Ad Strategy: LeadPropeller Blog: “Craiglist Ad Strategy for Real Estate Investors” PDF Download Craigslist Ad Strategy For Real Estate InvestorsPlease Rate and Review This is my simple request: If you enjoy the podcast and look forward to hearing a lot more episodes, I would be very grateful, happy, beholden and otherwise indebted to you to rate and review the podcast on iTunes.

The post A Year in Review: Best of FlippingJunkie Podcast 2018 appeared first on Flipping Junkie. from https://flippingjunkie.com/year-review-best-flippingjunkie-podcast-2018/ Listen / Share / DownloadShow NotesCarson Olinger journey with real estate investing began after the birth of his children, when he realized that his current job was keeping him from being home with his family like he wanted to be. In 2017, he owned a packaging company that unfortunately went under due to some unforeseen circumstances. This led him and his wife to build an investing business so that they could leave the 9-5 world behind them and finally start living the life they had wanted. In July 2017, he started his own Real Estate Business – Capital City Equity Group. He had started looking at deals in January and actually closed on his first deal already by February. However, he saw this as a “side gig,” and the overall business plan was not realized. Once he started using Lead Propeller and had leads regularly coming in, it was then a matter of closing deals and figuring out what to do with them. Carson was able to quickly learn all the different acquisition strategies as he had some friends that opened him up to some creative concepts and he was able to start closing on deals. Carson soon realized that he had not just created a business, but a job. If he wanted to find true freedom, he knew he was going to have to diversify. He began pickup up rental properties to create a more passive income, and within six months of really focusing in on real estate, he sold 10 homes via wholesaling and pocketed one long-term rental. He didn’t have any of his own money in any of the deals, other than marketing dollars and website management fees (which he says are totally worth it by the way!). By using creative acquisition methods and having multiple exit strategies, he was able to gain a lot of traction and could begin to see the broader picture. By spending time with others and listening to their needs and motivations, he could easily discern what solutions to provide them. He now says that he’s having fun doing this, and enjoys getting to help others at the same time.

The post Episode 132: Growing Your People with Greg Dickerson appeared first on Flipping Junkie. from https://flippingjunkie.com/episode-132-growing-people-greg-dickerson/ Listen / Share / DownloadShow NotesJoe Spence is an investor from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, whose journey began after he was laid off from his sales job in early 2016. It had always been his and his wife Sarah’s dream to become real estate investors, and this quick turn of events made them ask, “Do I really want to go back to a 9 to 5?” With a baby on the way Joe knew he had to do something, and there was no better time than the present to take action and make it happen. Joe began by calling anyone and everyone he knew in real estate, asking if there was possibly anything for him. Within a week and a half he had his first deal from someone who knew someone who knew someone, and so on. He shares that his first time walking through the house calculating costs to make an offer, he had almost no clue what he was doing. He was familiar with the formulas because he had educated himself with books and podcasts, but he says that “there’s no substitute for the real thing.” Joe and Danny also discuss contractors, and the importance of checking up on the progress when you’re rehabbing houses. Joe talks about the many lessons he’s learned along the way in regards to trusting and overseeing those carrying out his flips. He says that at first, it was intimidating to ask contractors what was going on in the rehabs out of fear of sounding uneducated or unqualified. Once he was able to get past this fear and speak openly with the contractor about what was going on in the project, he says that their relationship only grew stronger and now there is a mutual trust and respect between the two throughout the process. In the beginning of 2018 he turned his business more towards wholesaling rather than rehabbing houses. When asked if it can be difficult sometimes to walk away from a bigger check by deciding to wholesale instead of rehab it yourself. “I’m not afraid to leave a little meat on the bones for the next guy,” says Joe. He gives a lot of credit to those who helped him in the beginning of his journey, and he hopes to be able to help others in the same way.

The post Episode 131: Fast Success as a Rehabber with Joe Spence appeared first on Flipping Junkie. from https://flippingjunkie.com/episode-131-fast-success-rehabber-joe-spence/ Listen / Share / DownloadShow NotesZach Betters started investing in real estate in 2015 with his wife Stephanie. After taking 4 months to get their first deal, they jumped into it and did 11 deals that first year. Since then, they have been on an upward trajectory, 27 deals in 2017. So far in 2018 they have done 49 deals and with a recent merger are now on pace to explode even further. Along the way they have branched off into a Social Media Marketing company (Social Media REI) and have a few more secret businesses in planning. All of this while both working, up until recently, full time in healthcare as a PA and NP and raising three little ones. Zach shares with Danny how he was able to achieve such growth by “developing a team around [his] weaknesses,” and a constant update to the processes and systems that his business is using. He mentions that every business has problems, you’re problems just change. By recognizing this, Zach and his team are able to actively stay on top of their business and its growth. When discussing how he got started in the industry, Zach and wife were working 12-14 hour shifts, then they would come home and eat, workout, and take care of their three little ones. This makes it no surprise that their first hire was a virtual assistant from the Philippines to help him sift through leads and answer any calls. They’ve since built an entire team that works in combination with their established systems to really get the most of everyone in the business. *Humble Brag* Zach also shares a story about a time in which his LeadPropeller website helped him find his first private money lender JUST by having a credible site- even though he hadn’t done a single deal yet at this point (total humble brag)!! Zach also shares with Danny his excitement for the upcoming release of FlipPilot (December 5th, sign up now!) and says that he is very much looking forward to saying goodbye to programs like Google Drive and Excel for tracking KPI’s. “If it were up to me, it wouldn’t get done,” he says in regards to sifting through data. Luckily, FlipPilot is already ahead of him on that one with everything in one place so you can start working ON your business instead of IN it.
