Building Your Team & Making the Switch from Operator to Owner
Known as “The Flip King,” real estate investor Joe Evangelisti has done over 1,000 property deals and flips $10 million+ in real estate every year. It’s safe to say he’s pretty much an expert in the areas of flipping properties and wholesaling. But – get this – Joe only spends about 5-10 hours a week working for his company now. After building up a successful business and putting a rockstar team in place, Joe was able to step away from his owner-operator responsibilities and shift entirely to an owner role instead. Now, Joe has a passion for helping other real estate investors achieve the same goal: shifting from the “implementer” to the visionary of their companies. In this podcast, he shares his tried-and-true tips for finding the best team members for your business – which is the first step toward releasing your operator responsibilities to someone else. He also explains how he screens potential employees, and how he continues assessing their performance in the first 90 days of employment. Joe also shares several defining features of an exceptional operator, and the traits that you – as the owner – should probably have if you want the transition to be successful. So, if your goal is to eventually focus on the direction of your real estate investing business – and step away from the day-to-day work (even some of the bigger operational decisions) – you’ll want to hear Joe’s advice. Take a listen to learn how he built an awesome team of 20+ employees and made his professional dream come true:

Investing in multi-family, value-add apartments is not for the faint of heart – but it can be an extremely profitable niche of this industry. Case in point: Real estate investor Jason Yarusi of New Jersey, who owns 400+ units, has had amazing success in the multi-family investing business.

Jason also touches on his financing strategy for multi-unit properties, and talks about the best ways to perfect your processes (hint: start small!) Whether you invest in single-family or multi-unit properties, Jason’s insightful advice rings true for every investor. Tune in to hear how many units he hopes to own 5 years from now:

The Ins and Outs of Seller Financing & Lease Option Investing
John Jackson knows a thing or two about seller financing and lease option (rent to own) closings. After all, he’s done more than 600 of these types of deals. He’s even fondly known as the “Texas lease option guy” by real estate experts and homebuyers in his local market. So, why would a real estate investor want to pursue seller financing or lease option opportunities? Well, for one, these are very low-risk deals. Plus, it’s a very viable option for nicer houses that don’t have much equity. And – what might be the most appealing part – there’s very little competition for investors in this niche. In this podcast, John explains the details of seller financing and lease option investing, and shares a few success stories of how these have worked well for him. Take a listen to hear about his future goals, and his best advice for any investor – regardless of their strategy of choice:

Cheryl Sturt isn’t your typical real estate investor. She got into the business just a few years ago and has already seen a huge amount of success – thanks, only in part, to her hot pink bandit signs.

In fact, when Cheryl joined Josh’s coaching program, she netted over a half million in profit (on 20+ deals) in her first 6 months!
