The Faith-Driven Business Secrets Fueling One Investor's Explosive Rise to 300+ Deals Per Year

Welcome to the Raising Private Money Podcast, where we explore the nexus of real estate, personal growth, and finding your purpose. 

Today we have a truly insightful episode lined up for you. We're joined by a special guest, Brett Snodgrass, CEO and founder of Simple Wholesaling in Indianapolis. 

Brett is not only an expert in wholesaling and creative financing with an impressive track record of over 300 deals last year, but he's also a man driven by his faith, committed to his family, and passionate about helping others achieve their goals while honoring the kingdom of God.

Real Estate Wholesaling: The Quick Nickel Strategy

Brett Snodgrass, the CEO and founder of Simple Wholesaling in Indianapolis, emphasizes the appeal of wholesaling, which allows for quick and repeated transactions. Unlike traditional real estate processes, wholesalers get properties under contract and then assign or sell that contract to investors. It's about the pursuit of quick, efficient deals, without the heavy lifting of extensive renovations, a strategy that aligns with Brett's preference for the 'quick nickel rather than the slow dime.'

Achieving High-Volume Success

Brett's transition to wholesaling 5-6 years ago led to the formation of a successful team, which completed over 300 deals last year, yielding a gross of $23 million. Their approach leverages multiple exit strategies, from assigning contracts to selling properties directly to end-users with minimal rehabilitation. By gauging market conditions and buyer availability, Brett's team maximizes their opportunities, even in a tight real estate market.

The Importance of Market Adaptation

One key to sustained success in real estate is adaptability. Brett underscores the necessity of being conservative and vigilant, as market conditions are dynamic. His team's strategic decisions are grounded in a comprehensive understanding that it's crucial to prepare for potential downturns by staying cognizant of the need to pivot when the market dictates.

Family and Faith Over Fortune

Beyond financial achievements, Brett stresses the importance of balancing personal life with professional demands. Prioritizing family, marriage, and faith, he advocates for moments of reflection where entrepreneurs assess their sacrifices. It's not just about building financial wealth but creating a life that's rich in relationships and meaningful experiences.

Staying Present: The Precious Present

In conversation with host Jay Conner, Brett Snodgrass and Jay agree on the difficulty of maintaining presence amidst life's distractions. They both endorse the concept of 'precious present,' a mindset that cherishes being fully engaged and present in the moment. As shared during the podcast, this philosophy is encapsulated in the book 'The Precious Present,' advocating a focused presence as the ultimate gift one can offer.

In conclusion, success in real estate with Brett Snodgrass isn't just measured by the number of deals or dollars but by the ability to maintain a fulfilling personal life alongside a thriving business. This holistic approach to success encompasses wealth-building, adaptability, and steadfast attention to what truly matters - faith, family, and being fully present in each moment.
