What This Episode Is About:We’ve often heard our listeners ask us “How can you begin investing in real estate without having extensive funds?” The answer is simple: You need to use creative strategies! Our guest on today’s show is the legendary guru of wholesaling, Joe McCall. Joe has been investing in real estate for over a decade, has sold over a hundred properties, and taught his students to sell hundreds more. Before he started working on his real estate investing business full-time, he had worked for several large engineering & construction companies all around the country.  He had always heard that real estate was a great way to provide passive income, but he struggled to really get it off the ground. When he got tired of spending over $3,000 a month in marketing for his wholesaling business, and throwing away so many leads from unmotivated sellers, he knew there had to be a better way. That's when he came across the special niche he calls "Wholesaling Lease Options". As soon as he started implementing his simple, unique system, within 3 months his part-time income had surpassed his full-time income. Joe tells our listeners what wholesaling lease options are, why they are such a powerful tool for providing supplemental income, and how they can automate a majority of the business to sell properties wherever and whenever they want.  If you’ve never heard of wholesaling in real estate or don’t think you have the funds to start investing, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss!  Mentioned In This Episode:What makes wholesaling lease options different from other forms of real estate that we’ve discussed on this podcast before. How you can begin transitioning from a full time corporate job to making more money by flipping properties part time. Why it’s important to prove that you can earn some revenue in your new venture before quitting your job. And much more!

What This Episode Is About:We like to say that we often compare our financial health to our physical health. We never think we’re in incredibly poor shape, but we know there are areas that we could improve. Our guest on today’s show, Dr. Lance Ellis, began to see the correlation between the two after he had a heart attack in his 40s while on a ski trip with his wife.  Dr. Ellis is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon out of Waco, Texas. He explains how he thought he was doing the right things to secure his financial freedom, but in reality he was just doing what other people had told him to do. Despite his investments in Roth IRAs and 401ks, he discovered two key problems with these investments: the money was almost completely illiquid and the growth rate wasn’t significant. Dr. Ellis then talks about how he discovered IBC through Joey and Russ and how he is now taking the right steps to secure his financial freedom. This is a great episode for those who think their finances are “fine” and how to turn them into something you can live comfortably off of!  Mentioned In This Episode:How our mindset can be misaligned for financial freedom and how we think we’re doing all the right things, when in reality we could be approaching them better. Why thinking “I’m doing fine” with your finances may not be enough to get you where you want to be going. How to change our mindsets to be more proactive about our financial health, and what we can do to maximize our growth.

What This Episode Is About:Should we fear failure as much as we do in today’s culture or should we embrace it and learn from it? J. Massey is our guest on today’s episode and he argues how important failure is to our long term success. In just six years, J. went from selling his possessions on eBay to building an impressive real estate portfolio of over 300 units that includes residential and commercial properties, as well as private notes and mortgages.  J. explains that it’s important to fail fast, fail forward, and fail frequently. Failure is not something we should run from or never expect, but something we should embrace as an opportunity to learn from our mistakes.

What This Episode Is AboutA lot of times the path to financial freedom isn’t straightforward or without failure. So what do we do when we run into those barriers? How can we overcome challenges in our lives and build successful businesses and investments? Mitch Stephen joins us this week to share his experiences from his latest book which he titled “MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom.” Mitch has been a self-employed RE investor for over 20 years and he began learning real estate at only 23 after reading Robert Allen’s book “Nothing Down”. He has been buying and selling a home or property every 4 days for over 10 years. He explains how he perfected a method of achieving cash-flow without having to be a landlord and creating a business where others do the majority of the work for you, rather than having to invest all of your time managing every detail.  Mitch discusses the importance of working through ups and downs along our path to financial success.

WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUTWe all know there is no “one size fits all” approach to investing in real estate. So, how do you get started in investing when you have little to no capital? Can real estate be a viable method for young adults looking to start their journey to financial freedom? What if there was a way to use the property you already own to generate passive income?Craig Curelop (aka the FI Guy) is a real estate agent, investor, and author. He graduated from Northeastern University with over $90,000 in student loan debt and a net worth of negative $30,000 in 2017. That is when Craig discovered the idea of “house hacking” and how it could help him achieve financial freedom. Craig used various tactics to earn more, spend less, and invest the difference wisely. He rented out both floors of a duplex, including the bedroom he was living in, to earn passive income.While there were sacrifices to this style of investing, Craig says it was well worth the initial struggles. Two years later, he is financially independent and gone on to do three “house hacks”, a flip in Jacksonville, FL, and lent on a condo-conversion in Boston, MA. Today he is working with BiggerPockets to show others how they can do the same.Mentioned in this episode:What house hacking is, and why it’s one of the best methods for building passive income.How to get started house hacking, even when you have low income or low savings.How to find the ideal property in a competitive market and maximize income.And So Much More!Join Our Community:If you want to engage with others like yourself who are breaking free from corporate America and Wall Street, this is the place.
