The David Greene Show

On today’s show, David interviews Joe and Chris Vesce about the deal they bought in FL-off the MLS! The two brothers partnered together on a medium term rental in a killer location that was under priced-and nabbed it. They share details on how they recognized the deal, how they wrote the offer, and what they did after they bought it. The brothers also share how their original loan officer nearly blew the deal, but switching to David’s loan officer saved it and kept them alive and saw it to the finish line, saving them tons of almost lost equity. If you’ve been wondering how people are finding deals today, what a good deal looks like, and how to use the MLS to find your next investment property, you’ll love today’s show. Check it out today!

On today’s show, we did something I’ve never done before. I’m joined by Wyatt Wolff, a loan officer, who breaks down his career working with real estate investors, agents, and home buyers helping them to buy real estate. Rather than the traditional interview model where we talk to investors, today’s show focuses on those who help investors. Wyatt shares his story about working two jobs where he would work in the warehouse of a distribution center during the day and closing loans for clients at night. Wyatt shares his journey as he moved from closing loans for a bank to working at a brokerage where he has hundreds of options for clients to choose from. The conversation moves from mindset and how the W2 perspective can ruin work ethic, to practical advice on how to be effective at your job during the day. The show goes deep into the changes people need to make in order to be successful in today’s economy. If you’ve ever wondered why some people succeed in RE while others don’t, you HAVE to listen to this show.
