Building businesses from the ground up isn’t easy. It requires patience, hard work, and most importantly, a solid team. Without trust in that team, the product, the company, and the vision can completely disintegrate. When a team flourishes, you can create a massive success, where everybody wins. Tucker Merrihew and Elliot Smith have been working throughout the past year on Call Magic, a service that helps uncover leads for real estate agents, wholesalers, flippers, and other real estate professionals. Elliot originally teamed up with Cole Ruud-Johnson (who you’ll hear on our Real Estate Podcast, very soon), and everything was running well, but they realized they needed a leader. After Elliot talked to Tucker about the project, Tucker was in. There was just one contingency: the product and the company had to be the best of the best. The three partners agreed to put their all into it, and respect each other’s work. Cole already had experience running an outsourced cold calling team, Elliot had years and years worth of real estate experience under his belt, and Tucker had the Real Dealz Podcast audience at his disposal. Elliot and Tucker walk through setting up your business and your team for success, what to worry about and what to hold off on, hiring team members from overseas, and growing a business to scale, not fail.In This Episode We Cover:What to look for in a business partner/what to look for in an existing partnershipHow to “dummy proof” your businessManaging, paying, and hiring workers that are overseas How to have better cold call conversations that secure leadsSetting out to become the best of the best in your industry Trusting your partners and letting them show their strengths when working togetherAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Real Estate ShowBiggerPockets Podcast 381: 5 Rules for Investing in a Down Market with Tucker MerrihewMarketing Machines, Spec Houses, Flipping & Wholesaling | PodcastBiggerPockets Podcast 255: Six-Figure Real Estate Investing in Just 20 Hours a Week with Elliot SmithBiggerPockets Podcast 394: Making a 25 Deal/Year Business (and Marriage) Work… Together! with Elliot and Chrissy SmithAppleTeslaCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/bizshow95

You may own a small business, some rental properties, or are just tinkering with a new idea. Regardless of where you’re at in your entrepreneurial journey, you’re most likely trying to make something that will not only resonate with customers, but allow them to solve a problem in their life. So how do you make a product that accomplishes this to the fullest extent?Today we talk to Ben Foster, founder of Prodify and Chief Product Officer at WHOOP. Ben has been in this space for a long time, working with big names like eBay and Opower. After his initial success at corporate he founded his consulting firm, Prodify and has since then worked with 70+ different companies all tackling a common goal: make a great product.If you’re just starting out in your business, you may think the best course of action is to tack on as many useful features as possible into one product, but Ben warns against this. Companies that tend to do well with products are the companies that have a core competency and then build out from it.Great products also take market input from the customers that matter most. That doesn’t mean only the top 10% of users for an app, that means the bulk majority of customers who use the app. This is where many product teams get it wrong, and as you’ll see in the interview, there are a lot more caveats in product management than originally meets the eye.If you’re interested in product marketing, engineering, management or anything else related to building a great product, check out Ben’s book Build What Matters and of course, listen to this episode!In This Episode We Cover:What product management really is (and what the goal should be for teams)The difference between products for sale and product managementWhat makes a great product team How to achieve (and go after) product market fit When to release the initial version of your productWhich opinions matter most when collecting customer data Building an infrastructure so products can succeed from the startBad product traits to avoid when building out your productAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowOpowerE-bayDropboxMint.comIntuitWealthFrontMicrosoftAmazon HelloPolar WatchGarminLinkedInTeslaLeapFrogCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/bizshow90

Your agent is calling you to show you houses, your boss is emailing you about some work to do, your partner wants to grab dinner, and you want to take a nap. How do you prioritize things in your life when everything seems so important? The key is essentialism.Joining the podcast today is Greg McKeown, Author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg relates to the struggle of many entrepreneurs and investors: too many options, not enough time. Instead of telling you to wake up at 5 AM, take a cold shower and work until 10PM, he presents a far more effective (and simple) approach.What Greg suggests: pick the things you care most about, do them, and don’t worry about the rest. But how do you pick when everything seems essential?The answer: almost everything else besides your core cares/needs aren’t essential. If you begin to treat the non-essential as essential, you stretch yourself too thin, not allowing you the time to accomplish what truly is...essential.In the modern age, many of us feel like we don’t have time to accomplish everything we want. When we get laser-focused and put the principles of essentialism in our daily lives, we can accomplish more than ever.In This Episode We Cover:What is essentialism?How to designate the non-essential from the essential tasksWhy having too many good options puts us in a dangerous positionHow to find out which tasks deserve delegation or deletionDeveloping the courage to say “no”Finding an accountability partner so you’re locked in for successWhy Brandon wants to spend less time on TiktokAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeEssentialism book WebsiteStickK App. How to turn goals into a realityClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show431

We’re joined today by author, consultant, and entrepreneur Brian Moran, author of The 12 Week Year. Brian holds a view that many BiggerPockets listeners subscribe to: you are more capable than you think. Through short term sprints, Brian has found that we can all accomplish long-term goals, regardless of the difficulty.This isn’t just a strategy that works for real estate, this works in any industry. Brian has consulted with every kind of business, and the results speak for themselves. Regardless of job type, business type, or industry type, the 12 week yearhelps you accomplish more by doubling down on what you need to do most.Brian also talks about the danger of long term goal setting, and even annual goal setting. It isn’t that long term goal setting doesn’t work, it’s that it presents us with a long time frame to accomplish something we could do far quicker. That’s how the 12 week year kicks our “unproductive mindset” to the curb, and gets us fired up to do great things sooner.Many investors find it hard to break out of their comfort zone, do the things that they find hard, or even just feel motivated. The crucial part of finding success wherever you need it? Take action, start today, track, plan, and re-plan when needed. You’ll soon find that you’re fired up about things that used to seem scary!In This Episode We Cover:What the “12 Week Year” really isHow short term goal setting can help you accomplish your biggest goalsWhy you need to shift focus to executable tasks How to get tactical on your goals and what you can do to accomplish themLeaning into hard things and shying away from comfortThe importance of “vision work” and knowing where you’re headedHolding yourself accountable for what you want most in lifeHow repetition forms competence and competence forms confidenceAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeReal Estate Investment CalculatorsBuy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat by David GreeneThe House Hacking Strategy by Craig CurelopClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show427

Thomas Tsitouridis is truly a jack of all trades. As a kid, he was used to helping on the project-management side of his parent’s 64-unit apartment building (taking out the trash, helping with tenants, and so on). He later realized that real estate investing would hold a special place in his future.Thomas later worked for a construction manager, then chose to start his own construction business, property management business, and long term buy-and-hold business. Using the experience and cash flow from his construction business, Thomas found that he could amplify his money by buying deals and using his own team to do the construction and rehab.Now Thomas (and his partner) are buying multifamily deals, fixing them up, and getting sustainable cash flow, so they can retire early. Within his first year as a real estate investor, he has already learnt a lot. Thomas shares some great tips on tenant management, system automations, construction, and even financing so you can get better ROI earlier on!

Expensive market? Busy with a career and other priorities? There are a lot of compelling reasons to consider turnkey investing in a more affordable area – where a local "operator" sells you a tenanted property designed to pump out cashflow from day one.All you have to do is "turn the key," hand things off to a property manager and... voilà! You're rich. You can now kick back and sip margaritas on the beach. Right?Well, it's a little more complicated... as you'll learn today from seasoned turnkey investors Whitney Hutten and Lance Robinson. Both have bought rental properties from turnkey operators in several different markets, and they tell us all about the highs and lows, reveal what they wish they would have known, and offer candid advice for anyone considering this niche.When you're done with this show, you'll know the exact questions savvy investors ask prospective turnkey providers about neighborhoods, construction warranties, property management contracts, and how operators handle evictions and major repairs. You'll also know how to handle a home inspection to ensure you know exactly what you're getting into!Look – there are a lot of turnkey operators active on the BiggerPockets forums. A lot of them are great teachers, too. But this episode is told from the investor/customer's perspective... and it's well worth a listen – or two!In This Episode We Cover:What turnkey investing isDoing due diligence to find a trusted turnkey operator Why it's always worth flying out to walk the property before purchasingHiring your own home inspector!Whitney and Lance's turnkey winners and losersManaging your property managerHandling an evictionThe role of cash reserves when buying turnkey propertiesThe "BRRRR-key" business modelAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowReal Estate Rookie Facebook GroupFelipe's InstagramAshley's InstagramBiggerPockets PodcastQuickbooksBiggerPockets CalculatorsDavid GreeneTurnkey ReviewsBiggerPocketsBiggerPockets ForumsAppfolioBuildiumZillowApartments.comFEMADeal Check StessaQuickbooksCheck the full show notes here: http://biggerpockets.com/rookie29

Have you ever been a pin cushion? If you’ve had an acupuncture session before you’ll know what I am talking about, it’s the good kind of pin cushion experience. However, many have touted acupuncture as a bit of a “woo-woo” type of practice and written it off simply because it is an Chinese method/arm of medicine. However, what if I told you that reducing chronic pain, facilitating severe injury recovery and women’s health issues were all things that acupuncture can effectively deal with….AND it’s proven by a laundry list of scientific studies. Yes that’s right my friends, acupuncture is officially out of the “woo-woo” category and in its rightful place, on the shelf as a legitimate biological and neurological science and in this episode, with my good friend Dr. Peter Mejia, that’s exactly what we explore.In This Episode We Cover:What exactly is AcupunctureThe scientific research that supports acupunctureHow acupuncture produces such great results, particularly within women’s health***[ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT] Join the Ultimate Energy Upgrade Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/jointheUltimateEnergyUpgrade***--SOCIAL MEDIA--DR.

In today’s episode, we speak with Fritz Gilbert from The Retirement Manifesto and go through his checklist to ensure a smooth transition into your new life.Fritz speaks from experience and wrote the checklist during his own transition, starting five years out.Oh yes, FIVE YEARS. If you want a smooth transition, you’ll need to plan ahead.Scott and Mindy go through the checklist with Fritz, starting at five years before your retirement date. (They even touch on what to do BEFORE five years out.) Fritz’s list is extremely thorough and includes things you’ve most likely NOT even thought about.From paying down debt to checking in with a financial planner to transferring all that personal stuff you currently have on your work computer or in your work email, we cover the obvious. But more importantly, we also touch on the “Oh man, I totally forgot to do that” stuff, which can be the difference between a seamless transition and one filled with “I wish I had done things differently.”Fritz is such an expert in retirement planning that he wrote a new book about it: Keys to a Successful Retirement: Staying Happy, Active and Productive in Your Retired Years.In this book, Fritz shares 24 keys to a great retirement—once you’ve made sure the transition goes well.If you are on the path to retirement, this episode is NOT to be missed!In This Episode We Cover:What his pre-retirement checklist is all aboutWhat his financial position looks like five years prior to retirementHis advice to people who are pursuing financial independence before startingThe "one more year" syndrome5-year, 3-year, 2-year, 1-year, and 6-month checklists before retiringQuitting your jobAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets Money Podcast 41 with Kyle MastBiggerPockets Money Podcast 84 with Kyle MastBiggerPockets Money Podcast 118 with Kyle MastBiggerPockets Money Podcast 55 with Millennial RevolutionBiggerPockets Money Podcast 55.5 with Millennial RevolutionLastPassThe Ultimate Pre-Retirement ChecklistEarly Retirement Calculator20 Steps To Take In The Before RetirementThe First 6 Steps To Financial WealthSo You Want To Be A MillionaireFreedom For Fido

What happens to a no-money-down BRRRR investor when a pandemic breaks out, lending standards suddenly tighten, private money lenders get skittish, and property values quickly drop?Today, Josiah Smelser returns to the show and tells all.In Part 1 yesterday, we learned how Josiah built a $4M portfolio by buying, renovating, renting, refinancing, and repeating using both hard money and private money.Coronavirus hit him hard. And if he didn't have cash reserves, credit options, and the right mindset, it might have totally wiped him out.When the virus hit, Josiah had 10 properties he needed to refinance. It was a perfect storm: His private money lender immediately pulled funds, his refinance bank changed their terms, and property values dropped—all at once—meaning he would need to bring way more cash to the table.What happened next? Listen to this episode to learn about how Josiah made it through the nightmare and came out on the other side... with more equity and reduced interest payments.Real estate investing isn't all sunshine and rainbows. But if you keep your mind right, plan your exit strategies, and maintain cash and credit lines, you too can survive the curveballs thrown your way.In This Episode We Cover:What happens when private lenders want their money backWhy Josiah's bank changed the loan-to-value ratio on himTapping a cash-out refinance in an emergencyTrying to sell a property you had planned to BRRRRTaking out loans in your spouse's name to get around loan limitationsKey to pulling off a BRRRR in a down marketHow Josiah saved $750K in interest over 30 years by getting a lower interest rateHow an attorney can help you arrange a great partnershipWhy Josiah looks at this stressful time as a highlight of his real estate investing careerAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsDavid's InstagramBiggerPockets Podcast 234: Tenants, Evictions, & The Dark Side of No Money Down with Ryan MurdockMindy Jensen's BiggerPockets ProfileBiggerPockets Money PodcastOculusCheck full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show382-5

This week, we sit down and talk with Airman Mildollar, from Military Dollar.(Spoiler Alert: Despite the name, Airman Mildollar is a woman!)Airman Mildollar shares her story of college debt, car loans and rapid payoff to start building her wealth to become financially free, despite not being married, having kids or working in tech. In fact, she’s an officer in the Air Force.She shares her systematic goal setting and goal reaching strategy that allowed her to pay off her debt ahead of schedule - including stretching her military benefits to cover more than just food or housing.She started reading finance blogs and books and starting putting money away. Moving in with a friend reduced her rent payment, and she began investing in a Roth IRA, opened up a TSP (Military version of a 401k) and also invested in individual stocks in after-tax accounts, saving about 20% of her pay.Every time she received a raise, she committed to put at least 50% of that raise into her investments.In 2011, she bought a rental house as she was deploying, put tenants in place and then went overseas for one year, returned home and bought another property for herself to live in. Originally intending to live there for a year then rent it out, she ended up staying for two years then selling to realize HUGE tax-free gains.2013 is when her Financial Independence journey really hit its stride as she read Your Money or Your Life, and she took a much closer look at her budget, finding another thousand dollars to put into her investing.MilDollar shows that you CAN become financially independent on your own, without working in an ultra-high-paying job, when you diligently pursue your goal.In This Episode We Cover:What an airman isAirman Mildollar's money journeyWhere she got her scholarshipsHow she creates financial freedomThings she did on managing her financesThe reason why she didn't do househackingOn her housing and food allowanceHow she discover FIRE communityWhat Thrift Savings Plan isHow she finance her propertiesOn her rental propertiesHer plans in the futureAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowEarly-Retirement.orgEarly Retirement ForumSaving-SherpaGet Rich SlowlyMr. Money MustacheAirbnbBiggerPockets Podcast 364: Snowballing 6-Figure Short-Term Rental Profits Into Passive Investments with Avery CarlBiggerPockets Money Podcast 98: Change Your Money Mindset, Change Your Life with Vicki RobinFinConBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets Money Survey

On today’s episode of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, Co-Host Scott Trench teams up with two personal finance superstars in Whitney Hansen and Doc G of Diversefi.com. Together, they hear four “life after FIRE” stories, each completely different, each extremely powerful. We talk with a business owner struggling with millions of dollars in debt who was able to sell his business, re-write his career (he is now a business coach), and get a new handle on his time. Another guest retired with her husband in 2012 and together, they took on adventures and traveled the world together. Financial independence made all the difference for them in allowing them to experience as much of the world as possible, as her husband passed away a few years following early retirement. A third couple left their high paying jobs at the height of their earning potential to travel the world together, and they could not be more thrilled with their decision or excited about life. And finally, we interview the CTO of ChooseFI, William, who was able to retire early, overcome the loss of his wife, and use his financial freedom to pursue the job of his dreams with a great company, and provide for his children. These stories highlight the importance of achieving Financial Independence and using it to make the most of our lives.

You’ve got your idea, and you’re ready to take over the world. Now, where should you start? Should you... write a detailed business plan? Buy the equipment? Take out a loan? Wrong, wrong, and WRONG, according to our guest today. Alan Donegan founded the PopUp Business School to teach a different approach—one that encourages entrepreneurs to measure feedback well before they go into debt or get themselves stuck in a rat race of their own making. In this episode, Alan shows us how to experiment to see if customers will actually pay for your offering (“people will always be nice to you up until the point when you ask them to take money out of their pocket”) and how to organize a trial run to determine whether you even enjoy running the business.

Side hustle is a big topic on BiggerPockets. But finding the right one—and one that isn’t a scam—can be difficult. Today’s episode focuses on not only a legitimate side hustle, but also one that involves real estate AND can be as much or as little as you want it to be.
