The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast
David Lecko, Ryan Haywood
It is a tragedy that 95% of the country is brainwashed into believing that you have to work 50 hours per week for 50 years just to retire. By that point, you might not even enjoy your time off!
This podcast helps you escape the traditional 9-5 and embark on a fulfilling, financially rewarding journey.
We will show you how it is possible to make your annual salary, monthly through a proven business model called wholesaling real estate.
Why wholesaling real estate? This perfect strategy doesn't require significant capital to actually purchase the property yourself, it allows you time freedom without being at someone’s beck and call, and you can make 15% of each deal. You simply find distressed properties and connect them with investors. It's a flexible and scalable way to enter the world of real estate without many of the traditional barriers and offers 5 figure paydays.
If you're a newcomer to this world, this podcast is specifically designed for you. Here's what you can look forward to:
Wholesaling 101: We break down the ABCs of wholesaling. And no, 'B' doesn't stand for 'Boring.'
Beginner’s Bootcamp: Think of this as your training wheels in real estate, only a lot less embarrassing than the ones on your childhood bike.
Action Steps: Get ready to jot down exactly what to do next.
Support Squad: Dive into a community of fellow newbies with experts we bring in to help. You will achieve success much faster when you have access to people who have achieved what you want to achieve, and the support from those on the same path.
Ready to get started? Let's get you listening all the way to the bank.

199: Is $500k in 6 Months Possible (Too Good To Be True)?
If you've ever wondered if some success stories sound too good to be true, this podcast is for you. When I built DealMachine eight years ago, I was building it as a marketing tool for my own investing. I had done three deals or so at the time that DealMachine started taking off from other people that wanted to use it. And I remember Krystal and Dedrick Polite, who now have their own house flipping TV show 50/50 Flip, said they made $500,000 in six months. And I was sitting there filming a recording of their testimonial and I almost didn't even believe it was true because it seemed like too successful. But NOW I KNOW they were successful because they had another business before. They were able to zoom past what hangs most beginners up when they are starting out. And I am going to show you how to get out of your own way and close your first deal a lot faster.

197: Is $12k /mo Passive Income Possible (Is it really passive?)
If your goal is to own so much real estate that you get passive income and you can hire a manager to totally not think about it and retire on a beach, this episode is for you because it starts with wholesaling. Before you can buy that rental properties and put 25 % down on each property, you need to earn more money and you need to find skills to figure out which properties are going to cash flow and be good deals. So in this episode, I get interviewed by Jimmy Rex. He's asking me about my rental portfolio, which brings me $33 ,000 a month in top line revenue and $12,000 a month net. And so I'm going to talk about how I created a marketing tool that many of you wholesalers are using to find great deals and a tool that I use myself still to buy seven properties this year in 2024 alone, one that I made $125 ,000 on alone. So I hope you enjoy this episode and view it through a lens that will appreciate why you're wholesaling right now and what you can get to even if you're just starting out.
