We're kicking off 2023 and we need to start thinking about the real estate environment that we're in because it is changing fast.  Everywhere I look, I feel panic, stress, and anxiety.  Everybody's trying to figure out what they should do, especially real estate investors.  But what I'm also seeing is experienced real estate investors chomping at the bit. They've been waiting to capitalize in a market like this. Just like they did during the pandemic. They saw an opportunity when everyone else panicked.  I bought some of my best deals during that time period.  So today that's what I want to talk with you about. The opportunities that lie beneath the panic of 2023.  We'll cover: The death of the iBuyer program The buying criteria of Open Door Why I never worried about Open Door Can you create an algorithm behind real estate investing? Why I love real estate, and why that it is why the iBuyer lost How to capitalize on the opportunities of 2023 Why I feel like I can put $3 million on the line in 2023 -- three words Three reasons I got into the luxury market Subscribe and follow the Value Driven Investor Journey at www.VDIPodcast.com

Wow, life in 2022 came in and smack me in the mouth.  And it's unbelievable how that works. You think you have everything planned, you think you have everything figured out and life throws you a left hook you didn't see coming.    Oftentimes in our quest to become our best selves, life has a way of just knocking you to your knees, letting you know that you don't have everything figured out, letting you know that at any point in time, something could change, whether it's in your business, whether it's in your personal life, whether it's in your health, and everything else is affected.  And for me, that's exactly what happened. At the start of 2022, two friends that are involved in key parts of my business went through life changes.

The equation is simple. Navigating our 2022 market is a whole nother thing! Financing Supply Demand Labor Materials Each one of these variables is dynamic in its own right. If one of the 5 changes course, however, it will impact the other 4.  The "How" is not always known at first.  Over the course of time, the answer will reveal itself.  When it does, the best will be able to pivot and the weak will struggle to survive. Let's dive into each variable and how you should look at them in relation to one another. Before we do, I want all of my listeners to know that this is how I see it.  The beauty of real estate and being an investor is we can all see things differently and there are countless equations that can lead you to profits or to ruin. That's just part of the game. Let's get started Join our Value Driven Investor Community! www.ValueDrivenInvestor.com

2022 annual real estate investing goals and predictions, that's the topic as we wind down the year. When you are an entrepreneur, when you're an investor, I think one of the things that you have to really focus on, and be confident about, is making predictions. Seeing into the future. If you're not able or willing to look into the future and do the research that it takes to have an opinion of what's going to happen, being a real estate investor being an entrepreneur is going to be very difficult for you. In order to reduce your risk, you have to be able to do the research. And that research has to lead you to a conclusion. Then you have to be strong enough and confident enough to follow your insight, to follow your gut, to follow your research. And that's what this episode is all about.

So in this edition of the VDI Podcast, we are going to explore exactly HOW a Value Driven Investor is different than a real estate agent, and the differences are huge ... and possibly life-changing for your clients -- and you! www.ValueDrivenInvestor.com

I want to talk about how I ever came up with the Value Driven Investor Community. The idea, where did it come from and what does it mean? How does it even work? Those questions were seeds planted in my head, and for years and years, I thought about it. And I thought about it as a real estate investor, playing out the process over and over and over. And as a person who really likes to give back, I thought about it like this, "how would I teach my kids to become a real estate investor?" If I wanted to give them everything I knew, would I put it into a book? Would I put it into a training manual? How would I deliver it to them so that they could learn about everything that their dad is doing, and if they wanted to do it, they could. Those were the seeds I planted in my head for years, and years and years. And now, I have finally come up with the answers and a plan to do it. Welcome to the genesis of the Value Driven Investor. I'll talk about that, what Life On Your Terms means, and the four stages of the Value Driven Investor journey! Ready to take the jump and join our community? Head here: www.ValueDrivenInvestor.com

We just opened the doors for founding members at www.ValueDrivenInvestor.com.

Can we count on YOU? For the last 7 years of my life, I have been asking people this question when it comes to raising almost $150,000 for my daughter Shanley and our fight against Type One Diabetes. Team Sugar Shay -- The #1 Twin Cities JDRF Team in 2021 - Our TEAM raised the most money this year. More money than over 500 teams participating in the 2021 JDRF One-Walk. With thousands of people participating in this movement to find a cure for T1D This was my first shot at leading change and taking a step in the direction of becoming my best self. Was it easy? Hell NO! -- It's NOT Easy! Is it worth it? It's the best time I have ever spent and the rewards far exceed any amount of money I will ever receive in my lifetime. Why? Purpose. Purpose is what we are on earth to achieve. I believe this is our true mission in life. Money. Money is just a tool. But, for those in the survival phase, it feels like that's all that matters in life. The problem: how do I make enough money so I can see it as a tool. Not something that defines my self-worth? Solution: The Value Driven Investor Community We opened the Value Driven Investor Community up on September 15, 2021, to find 50 founding members who are brave enough to join us in creating what Bob and I believe will be one of the strongest investment communities you will ever find.

Wake up real estate agents! There's a better way. That's literally what's going through my head after being a part of a mastermind group. The topic: Where is the market going for real estate agents? How are ibuyers coming into the mix? How is Black Rock and Open Door coming into the mix? How is the real estate environment changing as a whole with Zillow? I can tell you this, real estate agents are getting nervous. I'm not getting nervous because I don't look at myself as a real estate agent. That's not my gig. I'm a Value Driven Investor. I'm a real estate investor that has a real estate license. Now, for my past clients, I would love to keep working with you, help you sell your house, buy a house, or buy investment property. That's not the point of this Insight. The point of this Insight is for all my fellow licensed real estate agents that are out there trying to do what you do best right now, which is service homeowners who want to sell their property or service buyers who want to buy a property. I know you're sweating. People are getting nervous and they have every right to get nervous because our industry truly is changing. And that's all the more reason why the Value Driven Investor is positioned for you. There's a different way. There's a better way to do it. Being a Value Driven Investor means building a business, a business that allows you to find an asset, improve and increase the value of that asset, and then sell it for a profit, or hold onto it and cashflow. That's what the Value Driven Investor community is going to be all about. A better way. And that's why I had to get on today for this VDI Insight, because what do I think? I believe that real estate agents need to make a stand. I think anybody with a real estate license needs to make a stand and say, why do we have to give our industry over to the big conglomerates? The tech company, the Black Rock. Yeah, right now, today they're only taking up a small percentage, but that's today. They said the same thing about Amazon when they were only selling books on Google. They said the same thing about Zillow when Zillow was just getting started as some rinky-dink website. These companies have the same plan. So where does that leave us? Just like in the crypto industry, there's a revolution. I'm invested in crypto. I'm a big believer in crypto currency. I believe it is the people's money. Well, I don't think real estate's that much different because real estate agents set out to take care of the people. Then came Zillow, Open Door, iBuyer, and all of this technology. It's all slowly chipping away at removing the real estate agent from the equation. So what's left. Where do you go? What do you do? Well, the one thing that I'm a big believer in is that the real estate agent will always have an upper hand when it comes to the war between the real estate agent and technology. When it comes to understanding real estate transactions, advising their clients, adding profit to the bottom line for their clients and really trying to take care of their people, a good real estate agent wins every time. I don't believe that the big conglomerates should take over. I don't believe that it's best for the consumer. Sure. It might be easiest. Might be frictionless, might cost money, but is it going to truly be best for you? The person who owns a home and wants to sell for you, the person who is renting and wants to buy a house, I just don't know, but we'll see. It's going to play out either way. What's the point? How does the Value Driven Investor fit into that? We're sitting here preaching that you should get your real estate license, but yet in the same breath I'm telling you that the real estate industry is changing. There's a civil war. There's a paradigm shift happening. Well then why should I get my license? Because if you're a licensed agent and you're doing your own transaction as a real estate investor, that's completely different than if you're a licensed agent and you're doing transactions for someone else. Why? As a Value Driven Investor, a licensed agent doing transactions for yourself, you can create a life on your terms. Otherwise you're working for someone else. That's why you should get your real estate license. That's why you should start investing in real estate for yourself. That's why you should join us in the Value Driven Investor community. Because together we can fight back. We can make a stand. We can still can help people create value in their home and sell it for top dollar. We can still help the people. We know the relationships that we care about are a frictionless transaction. If they want to sell the house to us as is, we'll buy it. If they want us to help them fix the property up and reap maximum value on their property, then we'll help them do that. If they already have a fantastic property and they just want to sell it and they want it done as easy and as quickly as possible, we can do that because as real estate agents, as people that live in our communities who care about our communities, we always have the upper hand when it comes to the conglomerate. We have the upper hand because we always have the relationship and inside the relationship is trust. That trust is what people want to invest in. That trust is what people want to believe in. I truly believe that we have to unite together because if we stay separated, the conglomerate is going to win. But if we unite together and we fight back, I I really believe we have a shot to change an industry, to make it better, to deliver the frictionless transaction that the customer wants and that the conglomerates promising. I'm super passionate about this. I can see it. I can feel it. Change is upon us. The question is, is as a real estate agent, what do we do about it? Me, personally, the Value Driven Investor, the Value Driven Investor podcast, and a whole new way of looking at being a real estate agent. That's what we do about it. www.ValueDrivenInvestor.com

Yes, designers can be expensive, but the right designer will allow you to concentrate on your strengths while turning your project into an investment that sells fast. A good designer also has the potential of pre-selling your investment. A huge win as you build out the project. Tim maps out the components to a team that maximizes your ROT. Your time is valuable, spreading it thin could doom the return on your investment. Ready to become a Value Driven Investor?

Tim Murphy helps you understand how to determine real value through the eyes of a Value Driven Investor. 

We've talked in past episodes about the importance of having a mentor to guide you through the real estate investment game. A good mentor will help you wade through the minefields of doing your first deals. They will help you learn from their mistakes, and pick you up after you've made a few of your own. Today you are going to hear a mentor call between Tim Murphy and Ryan Custodio. Ryan is a real estate agent out of Lakeville, Minnesota, who has recently done his first investment deal with Tim. Ryan loves real estate and knows real estate investing is the key to living life on his terms. In this call, you will hear Ryan's why, and hear Tim mentor Ryan through his early journey in real estate investing. Ready to live life on YOUR terms?
