Go to https://www.disruptors.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/steve.trang SHOW NOTES Alex Moses & Brian Higgins on How They Did 350+ BRRRRs, Own 160+ Rentals, and Earned $1MM Tax Free. With Alex Moses and Brian Higgins, BLH Properties LLC January 27, 2021 About Alex Moses and Brian Higgins Alex Moses tried college and found it wasn’t for him. Which turned out to be a good thing, because otherwise he never would have met Brian. Brian Higgins was an insurance agent who didn’t like where his career path was headed. So he sold his insurance agency and decided to become a real estate investor, even though he didn’t know much about it at the time. Alex and Brian met while taking a crash course to get their realtor’s license. After Alex sold several of his uncle’s properties to Brian, they started working with out of state investors and eventually teamed up to buy over 160 BRRRR properties in just a few years. Along the way they managed to make $1 million dollars tax-free, and plan to keep the same formula moving forward but with more organization and gusto. Connect with Alex by email at AlexMoses.realtor@gmail.com, on Instagram at @alexmoses_realestate or Facebook at Moses15. Connect with Brian by email at blhpropertiesllc@gmail.com or on Facebook at brian.higgins.904.  Show Notes Alex and Brian discuss how they use the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build their portfolio as well as securing properties for their out-of-state investors. They also cover how they raised and paid back over $12 million in private investor money, and give you tips for working with banks for financing.  Top 5 Takeaways from Alex and Brian: 5.  The BRRRR strategy is a great way to attract investors as well as build your own real estate portfolio for generational wealth. 4. Don’t be afraid to shop banks for the best financing arrangements. Banks vary quite a bit in their products, and you can always ask for more or exceptions to their normal terms. 3. If a deal is a good deal for an investor, it’s a good deal for you. Close on every good deal you find.  2. You might be surprised how many people are looking to invest in real estate. But you’ll never know until you ask them. Set up some Zoom seminars and talk to people.   1. Always, always keep your word. Scramble to find a way to close a deal if you have to, even if that means borrowing money to make it happen. Building that stellar reputation will benefit you immensely down the road. Bonus Takeaway:  If you’re up front and communicate with your investors, you can get lots of private money as long as you pay them well. Don’t be greedy; if you take care of your investors, they will enable you to make a lot of money.

She learned on the fly, taking six months to secure her first deal and was about two weeks away from giving up when she started having success. Josh High worked in construction for years and quit his job once they had their real estate investment company off the ground. Josh brings his construction background to the company’s fix and flip side of their business. Tiffany and Josh both wholesale and fix and flip. They unusually started with fix and flips, primarily due to Josh’s construction knowledge but also because they were figuring things out on the fly. As they grew, they sought help learning how to organize and manage their business and now run a lean company with great employee bonus plans to encourage retention.

Show Notes Tiffany and Josh describe to Steve how they use their KPIs to manage their business daily and keep their company lean and growing. They discuss the four fundamentals they use in their business, employee bonus structure for motivation and referrals, and how defined roles put them on the path to success.  Top 5 Takeaways from Tiffany and Josh: 5.  Define your roles and stay in your lanes. This is especially important for couples. You will find things get done and there will be less quarreling. 4. Spend some time discovering and writing down your core values. Then make them an integral part of your business processes. 3. Never hire someone who doesn’t mesh with your core values, no matter their experiences. If they don’t fit, they don’t get the job. No exceptions. Violating this rule will only result in problems later on.  2. Don’t chase the shiny objects. Social media is full of lots of noise, of people telling you what you should chase — stay true to yourself and your business goals. You can look to expand into something, but don’t abandon your business to grab the brass ring.   1. Use your KPIs daily to monitor your company’s performance and catch any negative trends or targets not being reached. This also helps you keep your sales team on track and help them meet their targets. Bonus Takeaway:  You can maximize your revenue and profits by paying attention to your KPIs daily. Why daily? Because you see negative trends develop before they impact your business. If you only look at the end of the month, you may have four weeks of low sales because someone wasn’t doing their job. If you see a problem in a day or two, you can correct the issue before it wastes your time and impacts your wallet.

Michael Fitzgerald talks about how he went from calling ads in his one bedroom apartment, to going to REIAs, to bandit signs and direct mail. He bought a farm for a million dollars with nothing down. Lost a lot during the recession. Paid off all his investors, and now owns hundreds of doors while running the Dream Fund.

After his first deal, and a chance meeting, he switched to real estate and has since built a multi-faceted empire. Michael had no money to invest in real estate, so he had to be creative. His first several deals were all different types:  Subject To, wholesale, even developing farmland with $0 down. Along the way, he has become friends with people all around the world. Currently Michael is involved in city-state partnerships where he actually gets the government to help finance his projects! Michael’s story is as unique as it is inspirational. He proves that you don’t need money to build a real estate business. You just need to get going. Connect with Michael on Instagram or Facebook.  Show Notes Steve asks Michael how he got started in real estate, and they explore many concepts for how people can start. One of Michael’s emphasis is that you don’t need to know how to do everything, or have any money. Just start and learn along the way.  Top 5 Takeaways from Michael: 5.  Review every potential deal. You don’t need to know how to do a deal to get started. Figure it out, learn what you need to learn, and keep moving forward. 4. Take care of the people you work with. Honesty and commitment, along with fulfilling your obligations even if you could get out of them, will benefit you in the long run. 3. Never stop marketing. Too many people market, get some business, then stop marketing while they work on those deals. Once those deals are done, they have nothing in the pipeline because they stopped marketing.  2. If something bad happens, don’t let that stop you from doing more deals. New deals can pay for unexpected losses from a bad deal. If you stop, you have no way to cover the losses. So accept the problem, and do more deals to make up for it.   1. Networking makes life easier and more enjoyable. Networking shouldn’t be forcing yourself on others — just start up conversations with people everywhere you go. Bonus Takeaway:  Just start. You don’t need money, you don’t need to know everything, you just need to start and keep going until you get some deals. If you take consistent action, you will succeed even if you fall down a few times along the way. If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.

Dominick Felix and Gonzalo Corzo come back for round 2 to talk about how they went from $100,000 per month to over $200,000 in one month in just one market!

Dominick Felix & Gonzalo Corzo On How To Do Huge Numbers In One Market! With Dominick Felix and Gonzalo Corzon, Texas Size Real Estate August 26, 2020 About Gonzalo Corzo and Dominick Felix at Cash Geeks Gonzalo Corzo and Dominick Felix built their wholesale business together by focusing on what each of them does best. The Jacksonville, Florida based company is expanding into other markets like San Antonio, Texas. They keep their focus on markets with characteristics similar to their home market. This gives G and Dom the ability to simply plug in their systems and processes to new markets. It also demonstrates the immense value of using established processes to operate your business. Expansion and new markets can happen quickly because you can plug your systems into new offices and locations and run everything as you are accustomed to.  The duo are also heavily involved in their community, doing quite a bit of education with fellow wholesalers. You can connect with their wholesaling education Facebook group here. Connect with or find more information about Gonzalo on Instagram, and Dominick on Instagram. You can check out G and Dom at Cash Geeks Pro. Show Notes Gonzalo and Dominick join Steve to discuss how they took their business to consistently producing over $200,000 a month from under $100,000 a month by focusing on their processes, training, and changing how they targeted and marketed their properties. They share some great tactics for pricing your properties, working with and finding buyers, and why you may be having problems moving your properties. They also discuss handling personnel issues when bringing in outside people to become managers. Top 5 Takeaways from G and Dom: 5.  Sometimes you need to bring in someone from the outside to be a manager rather than promoting from within. Don’t be afraid to do this if your personnel aren’t ready to handle different duties. You may have great people in their seats, but they may be completely unprepared for management roles. 4. Communicating with your employees is crucial. Be honest and straightforward with them, but also put in the time to develop them.  3. Systems and processes will allow you to build consistency and handle adversity.  2. Find what you really want to do and focus on that. It’s OK to try other things, but evaluate whether the new venture is truly what YOU want to do or if it is taking you away from the part of the business you enjoy. 1. Focus on what you want to build and don’t get distracted by the shiny objects. Work to train your team, grow your team, and push to improve your processes. Bonus Takeaway:  The quick, easy deals for a small profit may be tempting, but they actually take as much (or sometimes more) time than deals which will pay you more money. Don’t get bogged down in time-wasting work that takes you away from the bigger producing deals.

BJ Gremillion and Brad Young talk about starting off selling religion and alarms door to door to building an empire that includes a flipping company, wholesaling company, real estate brokerage, property management, plumbing, and more.

From a Mormon mission to home alarm system sales to selling bonds as an Edward Jones agent, he has put in his dues. After Edward Jones unceremoniously dumped him upon learning he had earned his realtor license, BJ jumped at the opportunity to work in real estate full time. Brad Young is also a door-to-door veteran, also having done a Mormon mission and door-to-door alarm sales. His brother-in-law lured him to Phoenix from Texas to help him with his booming real estate REO business. After cutting his teeth doing cash for keys, clean-outs and renos, Brad had a different direction he wanted to go in real estate. BJ and Brad worked together in real estate, and decided to venture out on their own with fix and flips as well as wholesale properties. They continued to add businesses to their collection, creating a brokerage, construction, plumbing, development, property management, and a couple of others. They’re planning to add an HVAC company soon, and possibly an electrical company. Connect with or find more information about BJ on Instagram @b.j.gremillion or Facebook facebook.com/bryangremillion, Brad on Facebook facebook.com/profile.php?id=1135191441 and The BC Team on Facebook facebook.com/thebcteam.co and on Instagram @thebcteam and online at www.thebcteam.co. Show Notes Steve grills BJ and Brad about how they manage multiple seven-figure businesses while staying semi-sane and still having time for their families (each are married with five kids!). The duo reveals how they have worked together and how they structure their businesses to maximize their efforts and their team’s skills. Top 5 Takeaways from BJ and Brad: 5.  Don’t assume that starting a brokerage is for you. There are a lot of headaches and liabilities that come with a brokerage, and you may not need to take on those if you have a good relationship with a realtor or a few. 4. Partnerships are just like marriages (we have heard this before). You have to know your partner’s strengths and weaknesses, and also how to communicate effectively with them. 3. Once you organize your business and put in systems, you can scale up into additional companies easily because you can apply the same systems. 2. You have to be comfortable with sales. If you’re not comfortable with talking to homeowners, get training so you can be. Nothing happens without sales, and that applies to any business. 1. Don’t add companies just because you have an idea. Be sure they coordinate well with your existing businesses. They should have some symbiotic relationship, otherwise they may take attention away from your primary business. Bonus Takeaway: Most entrepreneurs are constantly generating ideas. Have a time where you can throw out ideas to each other, even if it’s nothing more than putting them on a list to pick up later. That way you don’t take up valuable meeting time discussing ideas, but you get them out of your head and into the light of day. You can always discuss them later.

Dave Payerchin talks about how he hit it big out of the gate, lost everything, partnered up with RJ Pepino, and grew to a portfolio of that brings in $100k+ per month.

A chance encounter with a former classmate steered him to working for MCI Worldcom as a telemarketer. Since he wasn’t old enough to hit the bar scene and didn’t know anyone in Phoenix, Dave hung out at Borders bookstore reading sales books and eventually real estate investor books. After showing up at work one morning to be told that MCI Worldcom had basically folded up overnight, Dave jumped into real estate with two feet. He knew nothing except what he had read in a few books, but thanks to a Phoenix real estate market that was on fire in 2005, Dave made and closed deals, but eventually went bankrupt when the market crashed and easy bank money dried up overnight. Once again, Dave was out of work. Eventually Dave began working for RealEstateInvestor.com and met RJ Pepino at a conference. Fast forward a few years, and Dave and RJ team up on some deals in Columbus, Ohio. They worked primarily with BRRRR strategies (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build a portfolio of rental properties. Now Dave and RJ are big proponents of owning single family rental properties for income and wealth growth. Connect with or find more information about Dave on Instagram, and RJ on Instagram. You can visit Sell House Columbus online here. Show NotesDave and Steve discuss how Dave became a real estate investor, lessons he learned along the way, failures, restarting, and succeeding with a partner. They discuss multifamily vs. single family, why holding rental properties is a successful strategy in today’s market, and ways to get started for new investors. Top 5 Takeaways from Dave:5.  Don’t go it alone. The people in real estate networking groups aren’t your enemies; they’re your resources. Don’t be afraid to share and ask for help. 4. Partnerships are just like marriages. Sometimes one person moves or evolves faster than the other, but you have to be willing to work together and pull each other along as needed. 3. Single family rentals represent a massive opportunity right now because of the demand for single-family homes. Big Wall Street firms are investing in single family homes, developers are doing build to rent developments, and the public demand for homes is huge everywhere, especially due to Covid-19 concerns. 2. With interest rates at historic lows, now is the time to use bank financing to refinance your rentals. This can secure your investments for years or decades. 1. Be smart about leveraging your properties. A big problem with the 2008 real estate apocalypse was investors over-leveraging (more in loans than property value). Don’t over-leverage, and be smart with your financing. Then you will have great flexibility and multiple exit strategies you can employ as needed. Bonus Takeaway: Act with grace to others. Do the right thing, work to be honorable, and look for the good in people (especially when screening renters). Often the best people on paper are not the best option for you.

Jared left the hard labor as a project manager in oil and gas for a desk job when he took custody of his three kids. He also took a 50% pay cut, which didn’t sit well with him. He too looked to real estate as a means to escape his regular job. Both struggled initially, but learned as they went. Jared found Cody on Facebook, and the two connected over a wholesale deal. After that, they partnered up and used their talents to build a wholesaling business. They really bloomed when Covid-19 and lockdowns hit. Instead of shutting down or pressing pause, they increased their marketing and efforts. The gamble paid off big, as their business boomed, they have expanded to other states and are continuing their upward trajectory. And their book is being released on December 12, 2020, which you can check out at TexasSizeWholesaling.com. Connect with or find more information about Cody on Facebook or Instagram, and Jared on Facebook or Instagram. Show Notes Cody and Jared join Steve to discuss how they created a partnership as they learned real estate and built a business. They discuss missteps, losses, the books and education that made a big difference, and their strategies and triumphs. This is a real tale of two guys who chased their dreams and made it big. Top 5 Takeaways from Cody and Jared: 5.  Don’t get caught up in buying software, doing this, doing that. Just pick up the phone and call, put out bandit signs, get a deal. You can figure it out as you go. 4. When you need to hire people, hire them. But have a process for interviewing and evaluating them. Have goals and targets for them so you can measure performance. 3. Training your employees is key, but you don’t have to create everything. There are tons of videos you can use to train for acquisitions, dispositions, etc. Don’t reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to. 2. Be careful of the bright, shiny objects. They can distract you from what you need to do. It’s OK to want to go after big things, but don’t lose sight of what you need to do daily. 1. Learn how to organize and manage your business, and then do it. Always strive to learn more and improve yourself. You can train your team to do the daily work, and you can focus on the new things you want to do. Bonus Takeaway: Just do it. Get started, NOW.

The only odd thing was that Brett lived in Indianapolis, IN. He eventually decided to move the business to Indianapolis permanently, founding Simple Wholesaling and leaving the Ohio markets. Brett is a big proponent of education and constantly improving yourself and your team.  Brett continued to build his business, eventually hiring his friend Brian Snider three years ago to help him run the business. This partnership has allowed Brett to concentrate on his passion, education and content creation. Brian Snider was a teacher for 14 years and on a career path to become a principal when he decided he did not want to run a school. He joined Brett about three years ago and the two worked together to build Simple Wholesaling. He moved up rapidly through various positions to the Integrator/COO position.  Today Brett has moved out of daily operations altogether and into the Owner’s Box, still involved with the business but in a new oversight role, content creator with their podcasts (The Real Estate Investing with a Purpose podcast and the local market The Indy Investor Pod).  Brian has stepped into the Visionary/CEO position and is continuing to grow and expand Simple Wholesaling, adding services and expanding their real estate investor education programs.

Show Notes Brett and Brian join Steve to explain how they expanded Brett’s company, the systems and organization Brian helped install, and how Brett has now stepped away from the company and fully into the Owner’s Box with Brian taking the reins and continuing their expansion. It’s a different story than many because it shows you can take a different path to your business. Top 5 Takeaways from Brett and Brian: 5.  Definitely use a hiring system to screen applicants. Not having a system will result in you continuously hiring the wrong people for the wrong seats. 4. Don’t wait to hire more people. If you delay until your pipeline is full, you won’t have time to train new hires. Get people onboard while you have time to educate and train them. 3. Get educated. Masterminds, sales training (especially Steve’s training), learning and implementing good systems will all make your life much easier and your business much less hectic and more profitable. 2. Give back. Sharing your experience and knowledge may seem counterintuitive because you feel like you’re training your competition, but in fact you can build your business and contacts by helping others. In addition, you will be known as the go-to person for advice and help, which can have deals and opportunities come your way which otherwise might not. 1. Your roles in the business can (and probably will) change over time. That’s OK! If you tire of doing the work, you can bring on other good people who can have the excitement and energy to run the daily operations while you transition to an owner oversight role. Bonus Takeaway: Decide to take action and commit to doing it with purpose. Scaling up your business can be done with a good hiring process, and scaling up can exponentially grow your business. If you train your people and yourself, you can build the business and eventually step out of the daily operations while giving others the opportunity to achieve their own goals within the business.

He was a successful medical device salesman who gave up a six figure job to become wildly successful at real estate. Now, in addition to owning an expanding real estate wholesaling business, he is a member of the Front Row Dads group, which helps business owners balance their family-work balance. Connect with or find more information about Dan at instagram.com/ActionDanBro, facebook.com/housebuyersclubllc , or instagram.com/HouseBuyersClub  Show Notes Steve and Dan discuss how Dan took his business from being $350,000 in personal debt to paying his parents back, quitting his six figure job, and booming his real estate business. Dan is brutally honest about his struggles and what he did to fix the problems he was experiencing. Top 5 Takeaways from Dan Brault: 5.  You are going to fail in this business. Expect it and don’t let it knock you out.  4. You can start your real estate business while you work another job. It can help you have money saved up or produced for the times when you aren’t making money (or you’re losing money) in your real estate business. 3. Find out what you do well and what you like to do. Then hire people who can do the things you aren’t good at or don’t like to do. Get trained in and use predictive indexing — it is worth the investment and will save you many times the cost by helping you to avoid hiring the wrong people. 2. Systems, systems, systems. You won’t make it without putting in place good systems. You don’t have to develop them yourself; there are many ready to use systems available. 1. You can make the big money and create the lifestyle you want in real estate, or in any other business. To do so, you have to work at it constantly by self-improvement, by trying to get better every day, and by taking action. All the education in the world is useless if you don’t, at some point, put the knowledge into action. Bonus Takeaway:  Steve’s training transformed my business. Now about 95% of what I do was learned directly from Steve’s program, and it has made my business boom and also enjoyable. I would never have had this level of success without taking Steve’s program. Get trained so you can be successful. About Steve Trang Steve Trang is the founder of the Real Estate Disruptors movement and host of the Real Estate Disruptors Podcast.
