In this hard-hitting episode, Chris delivers a powerful message every agent needs to hear — most of us are lying to ourselves about the work we're actually doing. Chris breaks down a stat from a recent mastermind revealing the average agent makes less than one two-minute prospecting call per day, yet thinks they're making six. He parallels this with a personal fitness journey and challenges agents to track their numbers, stay honest, and do the actual work required to win in today's brutal market. Key Takeaways:Agents believe they're working harder than they are — and that disconnect is devastating their business.Micro-cheating (in business or health) adds up and sabotages results.Tracking is the key to progress. If you're not measuring it, you're making it up.Prospecting five meaningful conversations per day can lead to a 30%+ increase in revenue.The ones who succeed are the ones who don't quit at the 15-minute mark.Being honest about your activity is the foundation of building real momentum in your career.Connect with Chris:

This is how to start investing in real estate in 2025 from scratch, even if you don't have any experience. You could be a brand-new investor or someone returning after years since your last purchase. One thing is clear: 2025 has changed the housing market. We are not in the same scenario as we were in 2020, 2022, or even 2024.

Which strategies make the most sense for beginners? How do you find undervalued real estate deals and negotiate with sellers? Plus, should you even be buying now, or should you be waiting for greater price movement?  If you want to invest in real estate in 2025, this is the exact place to start. We'll walk through each step a beginner needs to take, from picking a strategy to finding an agent and lender, how to lock in a lower purchase price on your first investment property, and some deal-finding “hacks” even the most advanced investors rarely know about.  In This Episode We Cover How to start investing in real estate in 2025, even if you have no experience  Who should you talk to first: the agent, the lender, or somebody else entirely? The best strategies (with the LEAST risk) for beginner real estate investors  How to find undervalued real estate deals in this new buyer's market  The single easiest investment strategy for any American to get started   And So Much More!

Please welcome my guest today, dentist Josh Cochran, who didn't just build the largest general dental group in the Inland Northwest, he built a real estate empire while he was at it. After selling a stake in his thriving dental practice, he set his sights on commercial real estate, starting with medical retail development before getting involved in ground-up multifamily projects worth over $125 million.   The Accidental Developer Josh has an interesting background in that he didn't just lease space for his dental offices, he built them and, in the process, he discovered he had a knack for development. What started as a necessity quickly became a passion, leading him to acquire land, structure deals, and transform raw dirt into ground up developments.   Scaling Up to Multifamily Retail development had its challenges, but Josh knew where the market was heading. He pivoted to multifamily, securing land, entitling projects, and working with institutional capital partners to develop over 450 units across five projects. Along the way, he raised millions from investors, balancing capital allocation with active development.   Raising Millions While Protecting Investors With a network of high-net-worth investors, many from his dental background, Josh built a capital-raising system. He is hyper-focused on due diligence, personally vetting deals, sponsors, and market fundamentals before committing capital. His slow and steady approach has helped him safeguard investors from the risky, overleveraged deals that have sunk others.   Lessons from the Trenches Josh shares the hard-earned lessons from his transition, including: Why development takes longer than you think—but is worth the wait The biggest fundraising mistakes investors make (and how to avoid them) How he structures deals to align incentives and mitigate risk The power of relationships in CRE and why “going deep” is better than broad diversification.   *** From running a successful dental practice to structuring nine-figure real estate deals, Josh's journey proves that the right mindset and strategic partnerships can open the door to CRE success. If you're looking to break into development, master capital raising, or scale a real estate business, this episode is full of real-world lessons and advice.   *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry.   In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space.   PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.   Visit GowerCrowd.com/subscribe

Eugene Gershman - The Deal That Changed My Life We're back in the studio with Eugene Gershman of GIS Companies, a real estate developer making waves out of the Greater Seattle area. If you caught his last appearance, you already know Eugene brings a unique and forward-thinking approach to real estate development—and in this episode, he dives into a deal that changed his life. But plot twist: it's not just one deal. It's a concept that could change everything—for him, for the housing market, and for the next generation of homebuyers and renters. Eugene shares the story behind his latest project: micro housing—a model designed to meet the rising demand for affordable, efficient, and private urban living. He walks us through the numbers, the vision, and why this might be the only type of residential development that “pencils” right now. We cover: 

Today on the podcast, we unravel the complexities of passive investing with Kurt Novak, an experienced investor who's navigated nearly 50 syndications and uncovered some surprising truths on his journey.   When Kurt sold his entire real estate portfolio - rental properties, a self-storage facility, and a thriving brokerage - he thought he was settling into early retirement. Instead, he found himself deep in the world of passive investing, syndications, and allocators.   What started with crowdfunding platforms like CrowdStreet quickly expanded into direct investments, allocator-led funds, and a portfolio spanning nearly 50 syndications. But along the way, he discovered something surprising - many passive investors (including himself at first) had no idea what an allocator really is… or how they make money.   Syndications, Allocators, and the Fine Print Kurt breaks down the differences between investing directly with sponsors and going through allocators (a.k.a. fund managers, middlemen, capital raisers - pick your term). Spoiler alert: it's not always as transparent as you'd hope. In fact, many allocators present deals in a way that makes them look like sponsors, leaving investors unaware of the extra layer of fees, the loss of direct ownership, and who's really calling the shots.   Where's the Real Money? With nearly five years in the passive investing game, Kurt has seen it all - stellar returns, underperforming projections, and even outright fraud. He shares which asset classes have been the biggest winners and which ones have fallen short. Plus, he reveals what happens when an allocator steps up and fights for investors after a deal goes sideways.   What Every Passive Investor Needs to Know This episode is a masterclass in cutting through the noise, avoiding common pitfalls, and making smarter investment decisions. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes into the syndication business, Kurt's insights will challenge the way you think about allocators, fund structures, and who's really working in your best interest. *** If you've ever wondered where your money actually goes in a syndicated deal—how the fees break down, who's making the decisions, and whether you're really getting the best deal possible—this episode is a must-listen. Kurt pulls back the curtain on the hidden layers of passive investing, helping you understand what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make sure your money is truly working for you. *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry.   In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space.   PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.   Visit GowerCrowd.com/subscribe
