In the end it’s all about cash flow. Flipping is a business that requires your time and presence. Landlording comes with its own set of challenges. How about something that provides cash flow from real estate, but is truly mailbox money? Since 2019 I have been buying super inexpensive houses that need a little work and selling them as-is with seller financing. I’m talking about buying for around $10,000 and selling for $40,000. This model was the rationale for forming the Flipping America Buyers Club. By 2022, with no bank foreclosures for 2 years due to the pandemic, inventory was running low and prices were going up, so it was time to re-think the process. Due to the short pay-back schedule on the previous model, the numbers just didn’t work any longer. So I began to look at the alternatives. The idea is fairly simple. If I can buy a house at a substantial discount and sell it with financing for close to a retail price with seller financing, my actual return will be higher than the interest rate I’m charging. For example. Let’s say you buy a house for $30,000. If you were to sell it for $30,000 and charge 9% interest, your return would be…9%. What if you sold it for $50,000? Your return on that $30,000 investment goes up to around 15%. So I tried a few of these and guess what? It works! And there are buyers out there. Then I found a guy who has been doing this for years - he has even written a book on the subject. His name is Scott Jelinek and today we are going to talk about this fantastic way to make income in real estate.

You’ve found a deal - now you just need the money. Relax. I’m going to help you with that. Ruben Izgelov went to law school, passed the bar, and a few weeks later realized that wasn’t what he really wanted to do. Out of his passion for real estate and finance, he founded of We Lend LLC. In just a few minutes we are going to talk about how he can help you get your deal funded.

I did my first 500 flips without using a penny of my own money. Today our guest is offering to do the same for you. From day one in my real estate career, I had someone else putting up the capital while I did all the work. We split the profit 50/50. This worked great for both sides and the method still works today. It requires the right kind of match because you will be partners in the project, but this one factor could help many of you jump start your career. Adam Zach is joining us in a few moments to talk about how he wants to help you fund your next fix and flip.

The doctors said he would never walk again - probably not be able to feed himself or even talk. And that is if he ever came out of a coma. My friend and fellow real estate investor Chris Prefontaine and his wife lived through this nightmare with their then 14 year old son Nick. I’m happy to report that Nick made a full recovery that is nothing short of miraculous. Fully recovered he embarked on a career as a real estate agent and a few years down the road joined his Dad’s company. Nick is joining us in a few minutes to share his incredible story.

From millionaire before 30 to homeless & living on drugs, he reinvented himself by discovering that real success isn’t just about the hustle – it’s about the connections you create. And today Grant Muller is going to tell you his story. Are you looking for a way to grow your business but tired of using “sales techniques?” Feeling a little burned out? Today’s show is for you. Let’s dive right in.

He and his wife started out their marriage by flipping a house and using that money to buy a dive bar 12 years ago. They remodeled the restaurant and turned it into a thriving pizza shop and craft beer bar. Then they began buying more real estate and now have 7 Airbnbs, long term single family home rentals, commercial space and are about to build a laundromat. His name is Dan Templin and he believes you can do something like this too. He’s going to join me shortly and talk about how he did it and why he believes nearly anyone can duplicate his success.

Dad died on Monday, October 16, 2023. He was one of my heroes in life. This is my tribute to him.

These days nurses or doctors say “you’re going to feel a little pinch” right before they stick you with a needle. In my younger days when men were tough, women were strong, and all the children were above average, they would just say “this is going to hurt a little.” If you think real estate investing has to hurt a little before it starts feeling good - today’s show is for you - Painless Real Estate Investing. Nathan Payne – thats p-a-y-n-e is going to join us today to talk about his approach to investing he calls “painless.” I think it’s painless - p-a-i-n-less, but with Payne - P-a-y-n-e. Anyhoo - you’re going to hear how Nathan has made it as easy as possible for someone brand new to get into the game.

You can flip properties without doing any remodeling. In fact - you can flip properties that have no structure on them. No Tenants, Termites or Toilets. Today I’m going to explore land investing with Dan Haberkost. Dan Haberkost, CEO of Front Range Land, started his real estate investing journey at the age of 16.
