Jeff Rappaport has been in the real estate industry since 2000. In all those years, he's accumulated a lot of experience, and today he's here to share it with you.

Along the way we discuss the perks of installment payments, the importance of being upfront about possible negative outcomes, the dangers of a subject-to deal, the best ways of utilizing creative finance, how to keep your out-of-pocket as low as possible, and the assurance that you don't need to jump in headfirst.

Rumor has it that you don't have to be either an investor or an agent. According to Amy Farrow, a self-taught realtor with a unique approach to the whole business, you can be both! Amy started in law, but when she moved onto flipping houses and eventually real estate, she discovered a new world that she shares with us today. Her lack of extensive formal training allows her to see and share a side of the real estate business that's rare and refreshing. Join us today as, with her characteristic sass, Amy takes me--guest host Mike Cowper--through several topics including her origins as a realtor, whether you should get a real estate license, seller's and buyer's markets, the art of problem solving, following up leads well, and more. Amy finishes with some sage and hard-hitting words of advice for anyone feeling pigeonholed as either an investor or an agent. “We're problem solvers. We're not whiners.” -Amy Farrow On Today's Episode of FlipTalk: Resources Mentioned: Connect with Amy Farrow: Connect with Mike Cowper: Rate, Review, Learn and Share Thanks for tuning into the FlipTalk podcast!

On this Episode we interview our fellow listener and investor Mike Cowper. Mike bought his first rental 5 years ago. Since then he has owned 15 rentals, was a partner on a 40 unit apartment building, and has wholesaled hundreds of homes. Mike became interested in creative financing because he got tired of being a Landlord especially because of the rise of property taxes and insurance costs, and the market just got more competitive for wholesaling houses. Mike wanted to earn passive income without being a Landlord so he recently started taking his rentals and selling them on Land Contracts, (Contract For Deed), and has proven he can make residual income, not be a Landlord, and make huge profits in the form of interest and the arbitrage of marking up the purchase price to his Buyers. Now he can get a down payment, not a deposit, amortize the loan over 30yrs and earn interest (11%) over that period. He does not transfer title until the purchase price is paid in full and he no longer has the burden of being a Landlord. Listen closely to the specific details on how Mike does this, AND as a bonus Jeff walks Mike through an alternate way of creating terms on a lead that Mike already made an offer on. This is GOLD because Jeff shows how Mike can make more money by just adjusting the structure of the offer! Enjoy!!!

In episode 120 of the FlippingJunkie Podcast, Danny is joined by Mike Cowper to discuss how he got into real estate investing, his rapid growth, and how he did it all with the help of a CRM software. After tossing the idea around for many years, Cowper jumped into the industry in 2014 when he realized that it was time to stop talking about it and finally make it happen. He started out by trying to obtain as much knowledge as he could by joining every group and attending every meet-up, constantly surrounding himself with people who were better than him at what he was trying to accomplish. Through the help of a mentorship program, he quickly bought his first house. Cowper went on to work for Mike Simmons, a real estate investor who at the time was moving toward wholesaling rather than flipping. With a strong sales background, Cowper had a skill to offer Simmons so it became his responsibility to acquire properties. Now the two have a division of labor that allows for a system of checks and balances and really pulls to each of their strengths, and both credit their success to “creating systems, processes, and hiring people,” which ultimately pushed their business from earning $250,000 a year to $1,000,000 a year. Cowper later discusses his hiring process with Danny, and how he’s found a great significance in systemizing the entire process. He compares it to his LeadPropeller website, saying “We always want to find leads, you have to do that with people also.” This leads to a conversation about the necessity of a software to help your flipping business. Danny and Cowper discuss the problem with the automation softwares available now, and Cowper shares how his current systems are unreliable and often make mistakes that have potential to cost his business money. He states how this is not just an issue of liability, but an issue of credibility in how his business is perceived by the public. Ultimately, he hopes to find a CRM software for his flipping business that will make him feel confident that things are going to be taken care and can trust the system and let the stress go, and mentions his eagerness to see how FlipPilot will solve any problems he’s currently facing in running his business.

Download This Awesome Podcast: http://bit.ly/2VdJEnY As part of the celebration of our 100th EPISODE we have the honor of welcoming Mike Cowper and Mike Simmons back to The REI Foundation Podcast. They last sat with us for episode 13 and gave us one asset class that we never thought we'd get into: Wholesaling. These guys have SKYROCKETED our business by giving us the secrets to creating the best wholesaling business. Seriously. We almost doubled our income last year by getting over our static mindset and opening ourselves to Wholesaling. Cowper and Simmons run a SEVEN-FIGURE Wholesaling and Flipping business in Michigan and they are our Mentors and our friends. Don't you wish you could have friends that give you a roadmap to a seven-figure business? Well… listen in…. IF A STRANGER COMES UP TO YOU AND ASKS, “WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM? Mike S - “That's a funny question actually… I had this conversation with my wife a lot. Because my wife, when I started in the business, she was my business partner and we flipped houses. I wan't a wholesaler back then. So she gets the business, she understands it. So when someone will say to her, “What does your husband do for a living?” She'll go, “He's a Wholesaler.” and they'll be like “What?” And she'll say: “He gets houses under contract and then he assigns the contract…” And I'm always like… “Don't… just don't… Nobody gets it. No one understands all that. Just tell them I flip houses and move on…” When people ask me, who I have a little… I tell them we are wholesaling in really a traditional sense. If you wholesale anything its kind of the same concept: You buy something at a certain price and you sell it at a higher price…” Mike C - “I keep it extremely simple. I am a Real Estate Investor…” For many entrepreneurs this is a highly involved question. Cowper and Simmons not only have a SEVEN-FIGURE Wholesaling and Flipping business they are also Top Mentors with Justin William's House Flipping HQ. They have separate rental portfolios. Simmons has 17 SFH with his 18th about to close and Cowper has a total of 7 SFH and is a part of a syndication of a 40 unit apartment that he invested in in 2017. Simmons has his own Podcast and educational platform. ON DIVERSIFICATION: Mike S - “Multiple streams of income. I don't think any one should have all their revenue tied to one thing… so that if that thing goes away… I want the security. It's the same reason why I like buying SFH as opposed to Apartment buildings or why I put my SFH, the ones I buy, are in different cities. I just don't want any one thing to be able to submarine my families income.” Mike C - “The reason I do it: Passive Income. Right? I work and Mike works and our team works extremely hard in our business. And we're trying to build it to a point were we can step back and allow it to run itself. But at the same time there's not a better proven model to became wealthy in America than through Real Estate. And buying a house that kicks off 100, 2, 3, 400 bucks a month, consistently over time, is the most tried and true way of doing that…” BOOK RECOMMENDATION: “TRACTION” Mike C - Traction is almost a how to manual on how to run an effective and efficient business… It holds you accountable to a few different things… LISTEN IN FOR MORE ON THIS BUSINESS CHANGING BOOK!!! ON GROWTH: Mike S - If you would have told me 8 years ago that I would be part of a business like Mike and I are running… I would have been like , “Mind BLOWN. I'm good.. I'm good… I don't ever need more than that.” But it's funny when you get to a point that you maybe couldn't see that far awhile back… but not you can see further. So, for us, even though we might be doing 15 deals a month we just want to grow much bigger than that…. Mike C - The quote is, “Go as far as you can see and you'll see further.” Mike S - That's what I said… Listen in for Mike and Mikes FAVORITE MINUTE OF THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL DAY and WHY MIKE S IS NOT A MORNING PERSON … and WHY THAT IS OK. BOOK RECOMMENDATION: “THE MIRACLE MORNING” GREAT QUOTES and WORDS TO LIVE BY: “I think the journey is the success.” “I hate losing more than I like winning.” “Ethics Matter. Doing the right thing.” “Be a good person.” “Do what is important, not what is urgent.” WHAT WOULD YOU USE TO BATTLE A T-REX? Mike C - A bow and arrow with a rope around it so I could ‘Star Wars' his legs. Mike S - I would try to find another T-Rex and make them fight each other. ONE ACTIONABLE STEP Mike C - If they are new and starting today, I would go on any social media… Bigger Pockets, Facebook, whatever… and find everybody in their local area and send a message to every single one of them and take them out to coffee. That is literally how I met Mike (Simmons). I reached out to a ton of people and and just happen to catch him is a spot where he was looking for somebody and (that relationship) turned into this business. Mike S - I think the biggest mistake that investors make… they take too long to start making offers. … Start making offers. It doesn't have to be perfect. If it's not the best offer in the world you can get out when you dive deeper. You are not a real estate investor until you buy a house… mike.cowper@webuyroi.com mike.simmons@webuyroi.com www.webuyroi.com Want more advice and tips from Mike Simmons?

In the span of three years, Mike Cowper has grown his wholesaling business to become one of the largest in the Eastern Michigan Tri-State area.  Mike and his partner do 20 deals a month by marketing to homeowner/sellers and assigning the contracts to investors of all specialties. Mike did not achieve this success by accident, and he's happy to share how he systematically and deliberately went about building his multi-million dollar business.  From defining his team and their duties, to instituting systems and processes, and creating a killer website that is addictive and fun. Mike and I also discuss the mastermind group he joined that was instrumental in his growth, how solving other people's problems is a key component of his success, and why you can't always believe what the wholesaling gurus tell you.

This Week’s Episode: This week, I’m joined by my business partner, Mike Cowper. These episodes with Mike are great because we share what’s going on with our business and we provide you with actionable items for your business. In this conversation, you will hear Mike and I talk about a recent incident. We had one of our employees leave and we needed to rebound and recover from this situation. While we weren’t completely satisfied with this person, we weren’t exactly ready for them to leave.  This person leaving put us in a bit of a bind and we explain how we dealt with that situation. This leads us into a discussion on goals.  Because we have goals and track our company’s numbers, we were able to identify that this individual was not producing up to our expectations.  We talk about our goals and Mike briefly touches on 30-60-90 goals. We also explain why education is important in accomplishing goals. If you’re interested in learning more about our coaching, email me - mike@juststartrealestate.com.  We’d love to help you meet your goals in 2017.

[07:29] - Handling a situation like this is tougher for smaller businesses. I explain what our knee-jerk reaction was to this person leaving. Through the day, we worked our way through the situation and came up with some short-term solutions. [08:30] - The biggest issue for our business was that we have a big marketing push coming up and we were concerned about our ability to handle incoming leads.

This week, I’m joined by my business partner, Mike Cowper. These episodes with Mike are great because we share what’s going on with our business and we provide you with actionable items for your business. In this conversation, you will hear Mike and I talk about a recent incident. We had one of our employees leave and we needed to rebound and recover from this situation. While we weren’t completely satisfied with this person, we weren’t exactly ready for them to leave. This person leaving put us in a bit of a bind and we explain how we dealt with that situation. This leads us into a discussion on goals. Because we have goals and track our company’s numbers, we were able to identify that this individual was not producing up to our expectations. We talk about our goals and Mike briefly touches on 30-60-90 goals. We also explain why education is important in accomplishing goals.

This week, I’m joined by my business partner, Mike Cowper. I have known Mike for two years and I’ve had a lot of fun working with Mike on growing our business. Mike and I are doing a lot of coaching now and we’ve noticed that a lot of the same questions are coming up in these coaching sessions. In this discussion, we talk about flipping and wholesaling. We describe what the structure of each of these models looks like, and explore how they are different. One myth is that it doesn’t take any money to be a wholesaler, but you need money to be a flipper. In this conversation, you’ll hear why that’s not the case. Mike and I will be doing these types of episodes a few times a month. If you’re interested in learning more about our coaching, email me - mike@juststartrealestate.com.
