I get many emails from listeners and readers about getting a great deal on rentals or flips. They see the deals I am getting and that I have 11 flips in one of the hottest markets in the country and wonder: how can I do that? It is not easy, it takes experience, and it can be stressful having that many flips at once. There are ways to flip houses in almost any market, and almost anyone can get a great deal on a home. It is not as simple as contacting a real estate agent and expecting them to send you ten amazing deals that same week. In this episode of the Invest Four More Podcast, I talk about how I was able to buy my most recent flips, and many tips on how others can get a great deal on homes.
Most of the guests I have on the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast, are very successful investors, who have their own website or podcast. On today's show, my guest has no podcast, no website and nothing to sell you. Michelle Yarber is a real estate investor I have known for a few years, who I met through my blog. Michelle lives in Wyoming, but owns properties in multiple states, and Justin on my team actually sold her a couple of properties in Colorado. Michelle, has done very well investing on a part-time basis, while having administrative assistant jobs. Michelle even loans private money to other investors and is thinking about buying rentals in other areas of the country, besides Colorado and Wyoming, because prices are so high in those areas. Michelle, has never been on a podcast or done anything like this, and she did an awesome job! Make sure you listen to the show to see what her take is on the current real estate market and how her investing progressed.
On this episode of the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast, I talk about my history. How I grew up in a real estate family, what my goals were growing up, how I lost track of those goals, and then got back on track. Even though I grew up around real estate, I wanted nothing to do with it after high school, and even after college. I wanted to make my own way, but I was sucked back into the business, and boy am I glad it happened that way. Not only do I discuss how my career has progressed from an agent not making much money, to where I am now. I talk a lot about what I have done to be more successful. How changing the way I thought and acted, made me much more successful.
On the Invest Four More Podcast, I usually interview real estate investors or agents, but today I interview a lender. Mike Bowen, is a lender in Colorado that my team has worked with numerous times. Mike is one of the top lenders in the nation as far as number of deals done per year and is a tremendous business person. In this interview, we talked about a number of things including: why real estate agents succeed, what investors need to look out for when getting a loan, how to build a team and much more. I think Mike and I could have talked for another 3 hours, but we are both busy guys!
There are many house flippers, who end up becoming real estate wholesalers. I think many people feel you become a wholesaler first, and then work your way up to flipping. Many very successful real estate investors like to wholesale, because it takes less time and less money than flipping. On today's episode of the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast, I interview Cory Boatright, who is a real estate investor and entrepreneur. Most real estate investors, think of themselves as entrepreneurs, but Cory has started over 40 companies. Not all of them succeeded, in fact most of them failed, but a couple of businesses hit it big. Cory tells us all about how he started out in real estate at age of 21, started many non real estate related companies and has evolved from flipper, to wholesaler to coach.
