From 1 Team Member to 100: A Successful REI Business Story

If Joe Greaves’ story teaches you anything, it should be this: it’s never too late to build a successful real estate investing business. Plus, with the right motivation, you can do it quickly. Not too long ago, Joe quit his job of 35+ years in commercial construction management to pursue real estate investing full-time – and he hasn’t looked back. With the help of the Strategic Real Estate Coach training program and the Flip System book, Joe pushed the “all systems go” button on his flipping business in Missouri. Within the span of a few years, his one-man business boomed into a 100-person operation. In this podcast, Joe shares information on his current projects, which include duplexes, senior living complexes, and much more. He also shares inspiration and motivation for finally making the leap from a traditional job to an entrepreneurial endeavor like real estate investing. Joe also explains how his success as an investor has allowed him to be excited about the future, rather than focused only on getting to retirement. Joe’s motivation level is amazing, especially when you consider that he’s also completed six Ironman triathlons, The Spartan Beast, and 20+ ultra-distance bike races (No big deal, right?) Find out how Joe grew his business dramatically while still achieving his dream of spending more time with his family:

Creating an Actionable Plan for your REI Biz

It doesn’t take much effort to come up with definable goals – but it DOES take time to develop an actionable plan that will allow you to achieve those goals. As a real estate investor, a step-by-step plan will be 100% necessary to the success of your business. Luckily, you’ve got people like Chris Seder on your side. Chris is an experienced investor located in the Billings, Montana area – but he also has a successful virtual investing business and has done many wholesale deals in other states. Chris is also a Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) coach, and has helped dozens of students meet and exceed the goals they’ve set for their businesses. In this podcast, Chris explains how he works with his students to help them define clear business goals during their first few coaching sessions. He then helps them create an actionable plan for meeting those goals. If you have a vision, but you don’t have the specific steps needed to fulfill that vision – it’s nearly impossible to reach your goals. This is where a coaching program comes in handy, because you have the expert guidance (and accountability) to keep moving toward your goals in a measurable way. Chris also shares how he then helps his students scale their businesses and automate their processes, to create more efficiency and build a passive income. Overall, his goal is to help his students create a steady deal flow... so their businesses can truly thrive.

Grow Your REI Business, Build a Better Life!

On the surface, real estate investing seems to be about making money. But, look a little deeper, and you’ll find most real estate investors are simply seeking the financial security and flexibility that will allow them to spend more time with their family and friends. This was the case with DK Kim, a Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) Maverick Mastermind Member, full-time flipper, investor, and real estate attorney. In this podcast, DK gives you an inside look at his path from full-time attorney to full-time investor – and why he made this important transition in his life. While he started investing in 2002, it wasn’t until 2012 that DK decided it was time to transition away from his successful practice as an immigration attorney. The 60+ hour work weeks weren’t exactly invigorating, and he was tired of fixing other peoples’ problems while his family waited for him at home. Now, as a SREC coach and investor, DK has achieved the balance that he’s always wanted for his life. Even better... he hopes to combine his two professional backgrounds by providing educational resources on the U.S. home buying process for immigrants. Take a look or listen to find out DK’s #1 piece of advice for all of his students:

Smart Investing: Determining Risk & Exit Strategies

Some of the most successful real estate investors typically have one thing in common: they understand how to assess risk accurately, and they make sure to purchase properties that have multiple exit strategies. Mike Johnston is one of those guys. As the 2016 Strategic Real Estate Coaching (SREC) Investor of the Year, Mike has accomplished some amazing goals for his real estate investing business. Right now, his primary investment strategy involves purchasing distressed multi-family properties – primarily in the New Orleans-area market. While he’s renovated some luxury properties in the past, he’s found that those deals weren’t as “safe” (and really, as profitable) as affordable, multi-unit housing. In this podcast, Mike shares his advice for determining risk and planning multiple exit strategies for each property deal. As someone who has always taken the time to crunch the numbers and consider all the “what-ifs,” Mike has won over his investors with his practical, well-thought out plans. His self-proclaimed “cautiously aggressive” approach allows him to determine the worst-case scenario; and he’s a master at planning accordingly for that possibility. Mike also explains how he got his start in real estate investing, and how he’s working toward his long-term goals of building generational wealth and giving back by passing his financial knowledge on to others. Take a listen to hear more of Mike’s story, plus his advice for all investors

Value-Add Apartment Investing: A Success Story

The idea of investing in multi-family units or apartment complexes can seem intimidating to many real estate investors – particularly those who are just beginning to build their business. But, as Tim Bratz explains, it can actually be a very feasible, “do-able,” and profitable option. Tim has 10 years of real estate investing experience, and is now focused solely on value-add apartments. His company owns more than 1,400 units in Ohio, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas. Tim got into value-add apartment investing because he likes the scalability of apartments. As he points out, “It’s actually easier to manage, contract, and operate a single building with 50 units, rather than 50 individual houses.” Well spoken, Tim. His main focus is finding distressed properties that he can put some sweat equity into. He finds this strategy to be much more profitable than buying apartment complexes at market value. In this podcast, Tim shares how he first caught the real estate bug, the misconceptions he had about apartment investing, how he focuses on his strengths and lets specialists take care of other aspects of his business, and how he plans to achieve his goal of building a $1 billion portfolio in the next several years. Find out Tim’s advice for new investors, and hear about the craziest deal he’s ever pulled off (hint: it involved raising $4 million in the course of a single weekend)

From Zero Deals to $450K Profit in 6 months: You Could be Next!

If you’re brand new to real estate investing – or even if you’ve got plenty of deals under your belt – it can be highly motivating to hear stories of success from other investors just like you. For instance, Eduardo Lopez, our 2018 Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) Investor of the Year, was just a regular Joe – doing the typical, full-time job routine. While his job was going well, Eduardo was itching for an opportunity to create more income so he could retire early and spend more time with his family. Within a matter of just 2-3 years, Eduardo has gone from part-time investing to building a highly successful REI business that is now his primary focus. In fact, after joining the Masters’ Elite Coaching Program, he was able to take his newfound knowledge and do 17 property deals in half a year – making more than $450,000 in profit! As part of his prize, Eduardo also received a free 2-year lease for a BMW convertible. Not bad, right?! In this podcast, Eduardo shares his path from humble investor beginnings to his current situation. He credits his success to a number of factors, including his marketing tactics, networking opportunities, strong team, and – most importantly – to his time in the Masters’ Elite Coaching Program. During that time, he worked with his mentor, Kyle, to develop a business plan that was customized to Eduardo’s goals, vision for his business, and unique market. Eduardo’s accomplishments not only impact himself, but also his 21-year-old son Xavier, who is learning about the real estate investing profession from his father. For Eduardo, real estate investing is a way to pass on the knowledge and tools his children will need to build their own successful futures. Find out Eduardo’s strategies for growing his business, and how he was able to pull off an amazing $450K+ profit in the span of only 6 months, and create a monthly rental income of more than $12,000/month
