From Corporate Job that he hated, to a $1Mill a year Wholesaling business, to Passive Investor, to now a coach of coaches… Brian Ellwood at www.brianellwood.net has been through many business, shifting to figure out what his passion is. Along the way, he's found some very valuable skills, like finding and buying inexpensive cash flowing rentals that he pay his monthly expenses. This is a much different interview that you're used because we talk much more about following your passion and doing what you ENJOY doing rather than following money.

#163: Is there a way to stop trading your time for money and spend time doing the things you love? If time is our most valuable asset, how do we track it? How much time do you spend working? How can you take back control of your time? Today, we learn more about this idea with Brian Ellwood, host of https://www.brianellwood.net/podcast (12 Houses To Freedom), the podcast that shows you how to create passive income so you can pursue your passion.  Brian shares that having passive income is excellent, but passion income is something different. Passion income is money generated by doing what you love. It combines what you're good at and what truly matters to you. In Brian’s case, his passive income comes from real estate investing, while his passion for coaching has been bringing in a considerable income for him.  Top 3 Things You'll Learn: How to have the clarity to picture a lifestyle you love and take steps to get there Creating passive income streams to pursue something you’re interested in Why you should track your time   Resources: 12 Houses To Freedom Podcast: https://www.brianellwood.net/podcast (https://www.brianellwood.net/podcast)   About Brian: Brian used to have a soul-crushing job, which he eventually quit. Inspired by the book https://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dad-Poor-Teach-Middle/dp/1612680194 (Rich Dad Poor Dad), he got into real estate wholesaling, which he also had to stop. Brian now focuses on a few dozen rentals and uses his passive income to pay for his bills to control his time. Today, Brian coaches others on creating passive income streams to have control over their time, too.  He only works part-time and spends the rest of his time with his wife, Carleigh, and his daughter, Everley, exploring Colorado, snowboarding, doing parkour, skateboarding, playing music and video games, and drinking beer with friends.  Brian believes that "The purpose of real estate investing is not to become your career, but to FREE YOU UP so you can pursue your larger mission in life.”   Connect with Brian: Website: https://www.brianellwood.net/ (https://www.brianellwood.net)

This episode is a replay of the interview I did on Brian Ellwood's podcast, 12 Houses to Freedom. We covered a lot of great topics that I felt would bring value to the Rigs to Real Estate community, so I hope you enjoy the replay!

In this episode, I sit down with seasoned real estate investor Brian Ellwood. We talk about how he got started in real estate to escape his unfulfilling corporate job. He successfully built a million dollar per year real estate wholesaling business only to realize this new business gave him less freedom than the corporate job he had tried to escape. We talk about how he was finally able to find the freedom he was looking for and how that lead to his true passion: teaching others how to find that same freedom through real estate.

Brian Ellwood got into real estate investing for the same reasons as a lot of people. He read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and wanted to use passive income to pay for my bills so I could quit my miserable corporate job and have control over my time. Brian was told that I should start out wholesaling because it was low risk and required no money. I went down that path and kept my dream of financial freedom on the back-burner.

Brian was told that I should start out wholesaling because it was low risk and required no money. I went down that path and kept my dream of financial freedom on the back-burner. Fast forward 4 years and I had built a "successful" wholesaling/flipping business. "We were doing 1M+/year and had a team of 10. I made good money but had no control over my time. Frustrated, I realized I had simply created another job for myself." He shifted his entire focus once and for all toward creating passive income. I acquired a portfolio of a few dozen rentals and shut down the flipping business for good. Today, he spends his time coaching others on how to replace their income with passive income so that they can have control over their time as well.

One of the most common questions I get is, "What's the difference between Acupuncture and Dry Needling?" This is a fairly loaded question with multiple ways for me to answer it. In the clinic I give a more concise answer. Here, I take the time to answer the question with the nuances it deserves.

Now days, his greatest passion is to help others do the same.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/43)Brian's initial area of expertise in real estate was mostly in wholesaling houses, fix and flips and buy and hold investments… however, he chose to steer the ship more in the direction of buying more long-term buy and hold properties, so he could generate enough passive income to cover his bills and spend his time doing what he really enjoys.In this interview, we're going to talk about how Brian was able to build and grow this kind of business, his philosophy and approach to real estate investing, and we're also going to talk about a CRAZY experience he had a few years back with the local media, how it really took a toll on him mentally and professionally, and how he managed to take a really difficult experience and turn it into an asset for his business.

Here we are in this episode with Part 2 of my interview with Brian Ellwood. Be sure, if you haven’t already, go and listen to Part 1. Brian has so many great tips and ideas to share. In my first interview, we talked a lot about the importance of knowing the numbers in your business. I wanted to have Brian back because he’s been doing virtual investing for several years now, and doing it quite successfully. Brian lives in Colorado, and his target market is Nashville, Tennessee, where he used to live. He attributes much of his success to the fact that he knows the Nashville market. His advice to others is to practice doing deals remotely in their own hometown. In other words, do deals without leaving the house. What a great way to know if you can really pull it off. Brian talks about the nuts and bolts of his business, such as how he hires, who he hires, and how he tracks their performance. He has a great technique for hiring great acquisitions managers, because as you might know, hiring the wrong person can be quite expensive. Having staff members from all over, Brian shares how he keeps in touch with his entire team.

Alex and I welcome Brian Ellwood as our guest for this episode. Brian originally hails from Tennessee but now lives in Denver where he operates his thriving real estate investing business. However, he still does deals virtually back in the Volunteer State. It was in 2011 when Brian first learned about wholesaling. He was working in a grocery store for $9 an hour, having walked away from a corporate job to spend some time soul-searching. It was during this time that he happened to find a property for a wholesaler and was paid a cool grand for 2 hours of work. Quite an eye opener and a game-changer. He was ready to go all out. Brian shares with us how his business evolved… and how he pushed through those early fears, which as he freely admits, include him being terrified to talk to sellers on the phone. We learn that Brian is a real numbers guy, going to great lengths to know his KPI (key performance indicators). He uses what he terms a “financial forecast,” in order to plan ahead so there will be no nasty surprises when the business fluctuates. While Brian started out in wholesaling, today his business leans more toward rehabbing. Or more specifically wholetailing, which is a hybrid between traditional wholesaling and retail. As he says, houses that go on the MLS have a much larger pool of buyers than wholesaling. Brian also has a love of teaching, mentoring and coaching. Because this business changed his life for the better, he’s ready to share with others.

Brian Ellwood used to shake the hands of strangers and ask them what they did for living.  He felt trapped in a  job where he had no control of his own time.  His strategy paid off and propelled him into property flipping and rental property investment.  On this episode Brian shares his story and provides really valuable insight along the way. Brian begins by discussing how he got started in the business.  A stranger gave him the opportunity to get a lead for him.  The guy closed on the deal and gave Brian a one thousand dollar check.  At that moment it clicked for Brian and he realized there was a way to get paid for the value you add,  instead of your time. As far as an example of a mistake, Brian said for him it was not hiring someone soon enough to do what he does.  He hired an acquisitions manager to deal with sellers and within months his business tripled.      For a Profit Master investing strategy, Brian talks about the book, Profit First by Mike Michalowicz.  The traditional way to look at things is by sales minus expenses equals profit, but the book flips the script by using a different formula of sales minus profit equals expenses.  Brian has put this theory into action and he explains how it helps him watch his profitability stack up while forcing him to be more frugal.   Brian offers his keys to running a successful real estate business.  He believes in running it by the numbers and explains it in several points including: Define the key numbers that a business needs to be successful Assign numbers to the employees who handle those areas Hold a weekly scorecard meeting where everybody is accountable for their part If somebody is not performing where they should be in the numbers, determine why Brian offers the advice of:  shift your focus from looking for a job to creating a job and then, in theory,  you’ll have more money and with that learn to invest well in one niche.  Entrepreneurship and investing is the ultimate combination for him.  Brian says he most enjoys helping other people achieve their goals and remove their roadblocks.  As far as why Brian does what he does, he says he feels driven to improve himself every day and he loves to learn and create.   Brian has a blog and podcast available on his website, ignitelifestyledesign.com.  He hopes you’ll stop by his website and reach out to him.
