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.
