Are you frustrated by inconsistent deal flow in your wholesaling business after experiencing initial wins, perhaps remembering the excitement of your first $20,000 deal but struggling to scale? In this episode, we learn from Aaron Gaunt, who progressed from those early successes to running a Southern California wholesale operation that achieved under four million in deals last year. He'll reveal the team structure, including three outside sales reps and four inside sales reps, and the systems he implemented to move beyond sporadic deals to a predictable volume. Discover how Aaron built a "lean and mean" operation to consistently generate and close wholesale transactions, allowing him to focus on growth and even dedicate time to personal pursuits. Here are three impressive things about Aaron Gaunt:Aaron made a life-changing decision to quit his job as a firefighter after his first significant $55,000 wholesale deal (by reselling a contract), demonstrating a bold move based on early success and belief in his real estate venture.Aaron has proactively implemented strategies to "buy back his time," including building a full commercial-grade gym at his house and hiring someone to handle household chores, freeing up several hours each week to focus on his business and personal life.Aaron emphasizes the importance of core values (growthminded, competitive greatness, extreme ownership) and a mission statement (be excellent, be ethical, lasting relationship with you) within his company, actively integrating them into team training and daily operations.

If you've ever wondered if some success stories sound too good to be true, this podcast is for you. When I built DealMachine eight years ago, I was building it as a marketing tool for my own investing. I had done three deals or so at the time that DealMachine started taking off from other people that wanted to use it. And I remember Krystal and Dedrick Polite, who now have their own house flipping TV show 50/50 Flip, said they made $500,000 in six months. And I was sitting there filming a recording of their testimonial and I almost didn't even believe it was true because it seemed like too successful. But NOW I KNOW they were successful because they had another business before. They were able to zoom past what hangs most beginners up when they are starting out. And I am going to show you how to get out of your own way and close your first deal a lot faster.

If your goal is to own so much real estate that you get passive income and you can hire a manager to totally not think about it and retire on a beach, this episode is for you because it starts with wholesaling. Before you can buy that rental properties and put 25 % down on each property, you need to earn more money and you need to find skills to figure out which properties are going to cash flow and be good deals. So in this episode, I get interviewed by Jimmy Rex. He's asking me about my rental portfolio, which brings me $33 ,000 a month in top line revenue and $12,000 a month net. And so I'm going to talk about how I created a marketing tool that many of you wholesalers are using to find great deals and a tool that I use myself still to buy seven properties this year in 2024 alone, one that I made $125 ,000 on alone. So I hope you enjoy this episode and view it through a lens that will appreciate why you're wholesaling right now and what you can get to even if you're just starting out.

How do you find investment properties nobody else is looking for—the ones with cash flow potential, equity upside, and wealth-building qualities all the other investors overlook? Simple: buy what nobody else wants. For Lisa Field Moore, that's old homes. Most rookie investors walk into an old house, notice the foundation problems, warped floors, and outdated electricals, and quickly see themselves out. But Lisa sees money to be made—and you should too. In this episode, Lisa shares how she's built a sizable real estate portfolio by buying old, overlooked, and outdated homes, all in the past four years! But these are treacherous waters, and getting a major rehab item wrong could cost you a deal. To help, Lisa breaks down what isn't (and definitely is) a red flag when looking at old homes, how she lost serious money making one easy mistake, and how to avoid doing a bad deal ever again. Plus, she shares her tips for rock-solid tenant retention that'll keep your rental properties filled for years (or even decades!). Want to know how to find these older homes with wealth-building potential? Stick around because DealMachine gives us a bonus segment on the five ways to find a motivated seller in ANY market! In This Episode We Cover: Why you cannot overlook rehabbing older homes and outdated properties The two things that tell Lisa an older home ISN'T worth investing in Why termites, foundation problems, and outdated electrical systems aren't as bad as you think The huge mistake Lisa made that ruined a $100K+ rehab project and how to avoid the same fate Tenant retention 101 and best ways to ensure your vacancy rate is low and your cash flow is high DealMachine's five ways to find motivated sellers in any market And So Much More!
