The Easy Button Investor Podcast
If you want to make serious money in real estate, you have to learn how to find deals. I've sourced hundreds of off market deals by age 24, and twice per week I share exactly how I do it – from tools and software, to team structure, to sales scripts and much more. Using the systems I teach here, I went from college dropout and failed real estate agent to 7-figure business owner in just a couple years. I hope you apply this free information to control your own destiny and build your empire as an Off Market Operator.
