    David Richter is an active real estate investor who has been essential in closing over 850 deals which include wholesale, turnkey, brrrr, owner finance, rentals, lease options, and any other exit strategy you can think of. While growing and building a real estate business from 5 deals a month to over 25 deals a month, he realized that as much money was coming in, it was going right out. With the unique opportunity of being in every seat as a real estate investor, he found a calling to the company's finance seat to help them see where their money was really going. David has helped real estate companies completely turn around from going out of business to building cash reserves through his profit advising company Simple CFO Solutions, LLC. His goal in life is to completely transform the Real Estate Investing industry when it comes to how real estate investors view their finances and – bring them true financial clarity and freedom.

David breaks down some of the initial steps of Profit First and shows why everyone needs to have a basic budget set up in their business.

    Joyce and Danny Price have been together for 33 years and have been business partners in REI for over two decades. Based in Georgia, they have for the past three years concentrated their efforts on Property Tax Lien Investing. For those who don't know the term, a tax lien is a legal claim against an individual or business's property that fails to pay taxes owed to the government. The Prices think this area of investing is a safe way of making your money back pretty easily in the property market and are approaching 100 properties that were purchased via municipal auctions. Joyce & Danny join me today to discuss tax lien strategies, property investment, and what led them on their 25-year real estate journey. They explain the importance of doing your research on potential prospects and how something as simple as an Assessor's page will really start you off in the right direction. They share tips on due diligence and advise those who wish to search for prospects nationally. They also discuss the value of attending auctions to practice picking your properties, researching them, and seeing how it would have played out for you if you did it for real. "Research is probably one of the key components to being successful. And there's a lot of information- like Danny mentioned - out on the internet where people just assume or throw around what they've heard and doing that research is important" – Joyce Price "As long as you do all that research upfront and you have a really good idea of what it is you're buying, then you're either going to get the property, or someone's going to redeem/get the house back, and you'll get your money plus a little bit of interest." – Danny Price "Even if you're in one County to the next, don't be afraid to call that tax assessor's office and make sure that you understand not only the process of buying it at the auction, but what their expectations are." – Joyce Price "Don't hesitate to double-check their facts because it's a working instrument. It's moving all the time. The laws change constantly. So make sure you double-check them." – Joyce Price This week on Flip Talk: Connect with Joyce & Danny Price: Rate, Review, Learn and Share Thanks for tuning into the FlipTalk podcast!

So make sure you double-check them." – Joyce Price This week on Flip Talk: The difference between Tax Liens and Property Auctions Why you should investigate every relevant tax law for the state your property search is in as the rules vary from state to state What resources are out there to search for deeds and other registered ownership documentation Why there is less competition from institutions for properties in rural areas How attending free property auctions can train you to invest wisely Why you should always check the laws and rules, even if you have purchased in that state in the past Connect with Joyce & Danny Price: Roaming Investors Website Roaming Investors on Facebook Rate, Review, Learn and Share  Thanks for tuning into the FlipTalk podcast!

    Brandon Barnes is the owner of Mighty Estates LLC and is the Co-Founder of B&M Property Solutions. He and his team facilitate the acquisition and sale of 50+ single-family residential homes annually, and is continuing to grow. He is also the owner of REI Live! Atlanta, a monthly meet-up designed to empower, educate, and advise on sustainable and profitable real estate business. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Brandon earned his corporate stripes working for international brands, including the Kraft Heinz Company and Unilever. An undergraduate from Georgia State University, Brandon gained his degree in Operations Management from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University, where he also earned his Entrepreneur Certificate. Born in Chicago and raised in Stone Mountain, Brandon now resides in Atlanta with his wife and four children. Brandon joins me today to discuss his journey into real estate that began in 2016 when he abruptly fell off the corporate ladder and needed a solution to provide for his new wife and baby. He shares his early cold calling strategies and why the first 'NO' is not the final 'NO," and why you shouldn't be burning through your cold call list too quickly. He reveals why hiring an Acquisition Manager was a game-changer in his selling method and what automated offer delivery systems can do for your numbers. Brandon also explains his three C's, Consistency, Continuous Learning & Development, and Coaching, and how these have been the bedrock of his rapid real estate success. "I got out of my own way by putting an acquisition manager in place to send offers without appointments. And once we started to do that, our goal is 50 offers a week. We really started to see some really strong results." – Brandon Barnes "A cold caller needs to have their own set of follow-ups of people that immediately said 'No Not Interested' but they're going to come back to them because that is going to even out the amount of leads that they're generating over time." – Brandon Barnes "Sending 50 offers is one thing but being able to follow up on all the offers that you sent is the other piece." – Brandon Barnes "Literally, I hired acquisition manager in November - it was around Thanksgiving when I did the interview.

    Edward O'Daniel is a 'landlord educator & trainer' with 12 years' experience within the real estate market of St Louis. He is the owner of St Louis Property Management, taking care of many of St Louis landlords' rental portfolios, and he also owns Veteran Landlord, a company he created to help landlords across the country run their rentals more efficiently and be more profitable. Aside from previously serving our country, Edward has a BSc in Astrophysics from the University of Missouri-St Louis and is a keynote speaker on the subject of real estate investing. In today's episode, Edward joins me today to shine some light on Turnkey Investing and what this means in REI. He stresses the importance of having a property manager involved at the earliest stages of purchasing a turnkey property and what you should be looking for when finding a reputable one. We discuss the areas in the country where Turnkey will thrive and how you can conduct your due diligence checks via Google, Facetime, or Skype. Edward also reveals one of the biggest mistakes would-be Turnkey investors make when they think they have acquired an on-going rental without including essential maintenance or property management factors and how you can avoid this. "My own version of Turnkey means you have a property that has been renovated. Deferred maintenance has been corrected, fixed. And it actually has gotten rented at market or above market rates, ready for an investor to just simply buy it" – Edward O'Daniel "In my early days I didn't do my due diligence, you know, with buying property and understanding some of the costs and all the other things involved. And I just don't want to see that happen to other people" – Edward O'Daniel "If you're going to buy a turnkey rental from a wholesaler or from any reputable person, get a property manager involved that's reputable" – Edward O'Daniel "Do due diligence online.

After graduating from UCLA with a BS in Science, Justin quickly decided to pursue a real estate career after connecting with a North Carolina developer. Having flipped over 1500 homes in multiple markets, Justin is now a coach and mentor for thousands of ambitious real estate investors and is a Rockstar national public speaker. He is considered one of the best trainers in his space and is with us today to share a little of his magic touch. In today's episode, Justin discusses his real estate journey, which started well before becoming a 'statistic of the crash,' losing his home and car to the repo man and finding himself sleeping on a friend's couch. He reveals how going back to basics to get himself a game plan with a coach gave him a blueprint to flip houses and bounce back tenfold. We discuss the effort and patience required to seal your first deal and why Justin thinks procrastination is the biggest hurdle to success. He also discusses his real estate forecasts for the coming months, the effect COVID 19 has had on his current business model, and why you always need to be ready to pivot when something unexpected comes up.

As a newbie to the real estate space, Takeisha had many questions for me as she begins her journey into REI. In her own words, Takeisha is someone who likes to 'know all of the terminology and rules prior to jumping in'. Quite right, too - you can never be too prepared. In today's episode, I answer Takeisha's questions on wholesale investigating, how to uncover information available at the local courthouse, and how this differs from county to county. I explain the meaning of probate- that is when a property becomes vacant upon the property owner's death without leaving due instruction over their assets. I reveal how my own grassroots door-knocking approach with pre-foreclosure lists helped me at the beginning of my REI journey when I had limited resources. I discuss the many ways to find buyers, including using other wholesalers' lists to research those buyers and get on their radar. I also tell you what you can do on the good old internet to reach out and create relationships with buyers in any city you wish.

REI BlackBook's mission is to make marketing and sales the easiest part of running your real estate investing business. They help you leverage all the game-changing automation tools that deal makers use to outspeed the competition. In today's episode, Kevin talks with me about the steps you need to take to meet Telephone Sales rules, and what can happen if you don't follow them. We discuss how to comply when conducting cold calling, text message marketing, and ringless voicemails, and why just saying “I'm buying, not selling” doesn't cover you. Kevin explains what the Telephone Sales rules are and how they have changed over time since they were implemented.

Jay also talks about why follow-ups are important for building relationships both in and out of Real Estate. “People are afraid of that rejection or that resistance that they get, and you gotta be willing to go a couple of steps past comfortable.
