Derek changed my life and I know he can change yours too! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I learned at a young age that people do not really care about you, they only care about what you can do for them. Then I got to thinking, how could I leverage that into helping me build a career. I said early on when I started selling real estate that I wanted to be the place where everyone came for information and I would sell real estate along the way. Well so far that has worked out really well, as I close in on 1 billion in real estate sold, I am proud to announce that I am just getting started. We are excited to roll forward to next year and the next and the next by providing the value people look for, by giving them information and helping them out when they need it, and selling a little real estate along the way. Let's learn together, yes together I want to learn from you as well.

What would you do if the condo you purchased for $150,000 was suddenly worth $100,000 and you had to move for work? My guest today, Derek Clifford, and his wife found themselves in this unenviable situation. Instead of selling their condo at a loss, they decided to turn it into a rental. This investment property provided very little cash-flow over the following years, but they eventually sold it about 8 years later for a $120,000 profit! They took this money, used a 1031 exchange, and purchased a handful of SF homes in the Midwest that cash-flowed extremely well! Derek has since transitioned into MF investing and has truly figured out how to build systems and processes to allow him and his wife to continue building their portfolio while they both work full-time.
