Once upon a time.... there were three fantasy football players drafting their teams in a cottage in the woods. The Fantasy Chairmen were out looking for the Fantasy Sasquatch who had wandered off again and they stumbled upon this cottage. As the Chairmen entered the cottage, they caught a glimpse of the draft as it was taking place. As the first player made his selection, the Chairmen gasped and shouted, "That pick is too hot! You drafted that running back way too soon!". The next player then went to make his pick, but the quarterback he wanted got sniped away from him and he frowned and the Chairmen said, "That pick was too cold! You should have selected that QB earlier, he'll have a good season!". The third fantasy football player in the cottage then went to make his pick and he just smiled. The Fantasy Chairmen told him, "That pick was juuuuust right! You picked that wide receiver at his perfect ADP!". That's right..... it's the GOLDILOCKS episode! Let Alex and Ben tell which players they believe are being drafted too early, too late, and just right... Just in time for peak redraft season! Goldi-LOCK up these picks at just the right spots in your draft! Join in on the conversation with us by following @ChairmenFantasy, @FindFFLeagues, and @FantasySquatch on Twitter.

Alex was a panel guest on the Investor Mindset Podcast with Steven Pesavento. Alex is joined by Don Costa and Brent Daniels as they discuss what they've been up to in their respective markets. When COVID-19 hit, everyone had to change up their business models a little bit. In this episode, the guys offer tips on connecting with your buyer list, ways to reignite your seller list, and how to close deals over the phone.   Key Takeaways: Brent, Don, and Alex give a quick intro about themselves and their backgrounds. Now that COVID-19 has hit, what changes have the guys done in their business to stay on top? Brent has been pouring more into his team by letting them know that they are the decision-makers, so running things by him to get the green light is not necessary; They've been up 25% on their goals! Alex and his team controlled the narrative early on. What this meant for Alex was to jump in right away to help his team and get back on the phones! Brent changed up his text messaging team and he got four deals right away. He thinks the previous team got too settled in, so shaking things up can be a good thing all-around. Find out exactly how he did this in this episode. If someone says "No" they don't want to sell and it's a property in rough condition, Brent recommends sending in a blind offer anyway. Reignite your database again, even if they were previous ‘No's'. Shake the tree a bit, you never know, people's circumstances might have changed. Life can move pretty fast. The most expensive lead is the one you don't have. Tap into your existing database/list. So much gold is in there. The nine-word email has a crazy response rate because it's easy to look at! Are you in a smaller market? You're at an advantage! What have been the key differences when it comes to making offers on the phone vs. in person? FaceTime your sellers if you have to… it works! Prequalify your leads by the condition of the property, timeline to sell, motivation, and price. When you know these four things, you will be able to convert these over the phone. Don't accept the surface level answers as to why people are looking to sell. Go three to four questions deeper to ultimately find out what's the real reason someone picked up the phone and called you. Brent shares how he keeps himself hungry and how he best balances his bank accounts. If you grow a little bit every single day, you'll be a completely different person in six to 12 months. Don shares his advice on how to make the most out of this pandemic. Have a vision for your life and then create a business that will support that vision. There is a healthy fear, and then, there's fear that kills dreams. No matter what, you have to be true to who you are.

Alex wants to share with you what he does with his seller leads and the kind of sales process he takes people through. Alex hasn't been on the frontlines in a while, and shares what he could have done better during the call (so you can help more people & close more deals!) Key Takeaways: You want to get to your leads ASAP! Alex wants to showcase a live seller call! In this call, you'll hear Alex walk through the sales process with the seller. Alex is a bit rusty, but feels you can learn from the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are a couple of things Alex could have done better on. For example, setting the expectation and using the diagnostic drill…  Alex told the seller he might not be his best option (tip: always be one-step behind) Alex thinks the seller wants retail, but he's going to send out an offer anyway. Alex should have price-anchored him a bit better. Keep in mind, you can always do better!

Ryan “Rotty” Garcilazo has been a rehabber for the last 15 years and has a construction consulting business to help seasoned investors better understand the rehabbing side of the business. So many investors get burned by bad contractors because they don't know what they're doing. Before you step foot into the rehab game, get educated! Ryan shares what you need to look out for in this week's episode. Key Takeaways: How did Ryan first get started in real estate? What did Ryan wish he knew about sooner when he started rehabbing? What mistakes do investors make when trying to get into construction? There are three pillars to the game: real estate, investing, and construction. You always have to self-educate yourself about the business side of things while running your own business. At the end of the day, you're running a business! How does Ryan find the right, reliable contractors? You can't hire contractors if you don't know what you're trying to hire for. You have to learn the industry because if you don't know what your general contractor is supposed to be doing, how much and how long it could take, you don't know if you've got a good guy or not until it's too late. Before you hire anybody, understand what they do. How can you keep your contractor fed enough so that they don't go elsewhere? It's about having honest conversations with the contractor, but you can't do that if you don't know what you're talking about. Construction is going to hurt for a while right now. If you have a contractor you like, have an open conversation with them about the uncertain future. Ryan shares his thoughts on how to future-proof yourself during the coronavirus pandemic. Materials are going to go up in price --- Ryan outlines what you should do! How should investors be looking at acquisitions? Make sure you're operating out of a place of faith, not a place of fear. Interested in getting into rehabbing? Ryan has a boot camp for you! When you're an entrepreneur, you have to figure it out when times are tough. What's one piece of advice Ryan would give his younger self?

With everything that's happening right now, Alex shares some of his tips on what to do next while we head into the unknown. It's time to get your disposition side really strong because we are quickly transitioning into a buyer's market! Communicate with your existing buyer's to find out what they want, and go build new relationships! Key Takeaways: This is a time to be a leader. We are quickly changing from a seller's market to a buyer's market. Have important conversations with your buyers on what they want and what they're looking for. Get specific information so you can start looking for those deals and honing in (i.e. Reverse Wholesaling). Anytime you see a ‘we buy houses' bandit sign, call that person. Pull all the cash transactions that have been happening in your area for the last six months and skip trace them. Contact real estate agents. Get inventory off your books.

Alex & Steve recently hosted a private, ASCEND members-only Mastermind call to discuss how they can prepare and navigate, both personally and in business, and you're about to get access to the first hour of that call. Alex & Steve dive into Mindset, and share practical, strategic advice from a business perspective. Now more than ever is when you want to be connected to a community like ASCEND, so if you're interested in learning more, apply here.   Key Takeaways: THANK YOU for allowing us to reach the 400 episodes milestone! Alex greatly appreciates you! Alex wants to give you a sneak peek behind a recent ASCEND (members-only) mastermind call. The news just perpetuates more fear and can be very negative. Regardless of some of the tough things that are happening right now, this is going to pass. Mindset is critical in a time like this. Before you make big decisions, ask yourself if it's fear-based or if this is strategic. Are you operating out of FAITH or FEAR? Don't feel prepared? That's what Alex and Steve are here for. Now is the time to step up as a leader. Exercise is so important! Don't stop just because the gyms are closed. Cut out all non-essential spending right now. Make sure you have some cash reserves on hand (both personally and in your business). Survey the landscape and be strategic! Follow-up is gold right now. Keep doing it. Alex is sending a customized two-page mail piece. Communicate with EVERYONE! Over-communicate if need be. Stay connected. Think through if you need to redefine your "buy box". Some courts are closed right now, so it's going to affect your deeds. Transaction coordinator side: babysit your deals to the closing table. Remember, be a professional. Go above & beyond for people. Look at money outflow right now and ask yourself if this expense is producing the results you want? Alex does a quick rapid-fire session on what you should be doing right now. Should you decrease the size of your team? Don't have enough cash on hand? Consider liquidating assets. As of this moment, President Trump is suspending foreclosures and evictions to the end of April. Reach out to your tenants and keep the lines of communication open. Don't try to time the market. Use this opportunity to improve yourself, and tighten up your business processes / systems / KPIs, etc. If you are able to automate your rents, do it right now. If you are considering buying a short-term rental, make sure you have multiple exit strategies.

Alex wants you to remember that what we're dealing with right now is not going to last forever! Yes, people are afraid right now and it's your time to step up and really shine by over communicating with everyone who works with you. Your team, your sellers, buyers, lenders, etc. Everyone! Check in like you are checking in with a close family member and see where you can add value.    Key Takeaways: Remember this crisis that we're in now is not going to last forever. It's important to acknowledge your team member's feelings and help them through this uncertainty.  This is the time you need to shine.  Are we headed into a recession?  Times like these we need to be over communicating, even if it's about the news people don't want to hear.  Talk to your top buyers and see how they're doing. Ask your sellers how you can help them beyond your traditional business services. Make sure you're doing right and make sure you're taking care of the people in your community.  If someone was working with your grandmother or a loved one, how would you want them to check in with them?  What should you be doing with your marketing dollar right now?  Follow up, follow up, follow up. The sellers who said no, check up on them now, how are they doing?  Mail a hardcopy of your contract to hot sellers who you've been to appointments with.  Take a look at your ‘luxury hires' and see where you can trim down. Remember, be a professional. Stand out from the crowd and caring for the people you serve.  Mentioned in This Episode: How To Grow Your Business, Expand Your Impact, and Experience Your Perfect Life: Don't Wait To Enjoy Your Life Tomorrow, Live It Today!

Alex understands that things are going a bit crazy right now and the news is creating a lot of panic and fear. As a leader, this is your moment to step up and lead. Be an example for your family, friends, team, and even community. Don't be cocky that you'll ‘make tons of money', people right now are suffering and they are getting affected. Show compassion in this difficult time and help out where you can.   Key Takeaways: We are in the middle of uncertainty right now.  Alex was attending a mastermind and he didn't know the full impact the coronavirus would really have until now.  Sports leagues were cancelling events to protect everyone's safety.  How is a potential recession going to impact our community?  Alex has personally experienced the 2008 market crash.  Remember this will pass!  Sit back for right now and survey the landscape.  Don't get cocky. You might have the opportunity to make money, but people are suffering from this.  How will hourly workers pay their rent?

Alex is incredibly grateful for the opportunities that have come through this podcast and the relationships he's built. Today, he offers some valuable words of advice on why it's so important to always GIVE before you ever ask for anything (and how to approach people of influence).   Key Takeaways: When things are going well, don't take your foot off the gas, double down on it. It's important to think big while still honoring your Vision. Alex is super excited about the upcoming June ASCEND mastermind retreat. Alex wished he had generated assets and cash flow sooner in his career. From a cash flow perspective, Alex is primarily focused on single-family rentals and lending. Right now, Alex gets a lot of messages on social media and it's easy to spot who's reaching out to say thanks (or give), and who's reaching out because they want something. Build a relationship first before you ask for something. 8 out of 10 people are going about it the wrong way. A lot of doors have opened up for Alex because of this podcast! He gives first and then receives. Don't be sly in your approach. Be upfront and honest! Thank you for reaching out to Alex and letting him know what you think!

Alex does not have a special guest for this week's episode. However, he does have some great wisdom for you guys, as he just came back from a 2-day intensive mastermind. Masterminds are a great way to keep momentum going, and connect with highly-motivated achievers. This week's topic dives into what happens when a seller suddenly decides they don't want to sell the property anymore. What are your options?   Key Takeaways: Don't forget to check out the new Facebook Group! Please read the guidelines before you post. Alex just got back from a pretty intense mastermind. The biggest takeaway? Keep things simple. These events keep Alex inspired and juiced up! Immerse yourself with high achievers. Even though Alex has a new baby on the way, he still plans to attend these valuable events. What does Alex do when an owner has suddenly decided they don't want to sell? Your job is to make things as easy as possible for the seller. If you're just getting started, don't be afraid to seek expert help and spend the $300-500 it takes to do that. It'll save you A LOT of headaches in the future! If you begin to encounter problems, always work things out with the seller first. If you can't, then let them know you'll have to bring lawyers in.

Alex talks about the same client he spoke about on last week's Q&A show, the one who decided to pay for a cheaper VA. Because of this discussion, Alex's client is now overwhelmed with other additional tasks and doesn't want to spend money in critical areas, like marketing, until she can close a deal. Alex explains why this is a mistake, especially in real estate!   Key Takeaways: Alex continues his discussion from last week's Q&A episode and talks about one of his clients who was struggling with a bad VA hire. Alex's client was overwhelmed, so she had to stop marketing in order to keep up with the leads. Mistake! Alex told her to focus on 10 specific zip codes, but it was a catch 22, because she wanted to get a lead in before spending more money. We're all guilty of this behavior, but this is why you need to change your mindset. Learn from Alex's mistakes. Your business dies if your marketing gets stopped. The problem here is you don't know whether the leads you currently have will work out for you. This is why you need more coming in, just in case! Sometimes Alex doesn't close a deal until 3-4 months later. The good news is, Alex's client listened to him and now she's getting it done! Crisis averted! The x amount of money you're spending on your marketing budget, comes back to you 10x, 20x, and sometimes 50x. Ran out of capital to run your marketing campaign? Then it's time to knock on doors and hustle. There's always something you can do to drive leads!!! Do you want to hear more client case study calls? Let Alex know!
