In this episode, I sit down with business attorney Chris Johnsen, who brings a refreshingly honest take on when investors really need legal help—and when they don't. With a background in real estate, litigation, and corporate counsel, Chris knows firsthand how legal blind spots can cost you big. But he also gets the hustle. He's not here to sell legal services you don't need—he's here to help you think like a business owner.We dive into when to engage a lawyer (hint: not always day one), what contracts investors mess up the most, and the risks of using boilerplate docs or DIY operating agreements. Chris also tackles hot topics like non-competes, asset protection, and the legal lines you might be crossing without even realizing it—especially in syndications.Episode Highlights[0:00] – Chris shares his journey from real estate to law and why he's a businessperson first[5:03] – How the 2008 crash redirected his path and made him a litigation expert[6:56] – The unexpected upside of being both a transactional and litigation attorney[9:25] – Why the “school vs. entrepreneurship” debate is missing the real question[12:40] – What makes a law degree valuable—and how to think about ROI in education[13:46] – Why cash is underrated, and how it gives you leverage in business and investing[15:11] – Real estate can create freedom—but it takes a lot more than just doors[17:16] – Most common legal issues investors bring to Chris's firm[19:05] – Corporate structure and asset protection: the basics you must get right[21:06] – What's happening with non-compete laws and why it matters to business owners[22:30] – DIY contracts, LegalZoom templates, and when it becomes a $20K problem[23:21] – Operating agreements: why they're not just “boilerplate” documents[24:10] – Syndications and securities law: the big legal risk investors overlook[27:11] – The million-dollar mark: when you should really start investing in legal infrastructure[31:13] – How to connect with Chris and book a free 15-minute consult5 Key TakeawaysYou don't need a lawyer for everything—but you better get the operating agreement right. It's not just paperwork. It's the contract that holds your business together.DIY legal is fine—until it's not. Contracts, partner agreements, and syndications are where most investors go wrong.Forming an entity is simple. Scaling with structure isn't. Corporate governance matters more as you grow.Syndications trigger securities laws. If you're raising capital, you need a securities attorney—not just a real estate one.Once your business hits seven figures, legal issues multiply. That's when it's time to audit what you've built—and protect what you've earned.Links & ResourcesBook a free consult with Chris: https://www.johnsenlaw.comLearn more about Profit First for real estate investors: https://www.simplecfo.comIf this episode gave you clarity on how and when to protect your real estate business, make sure to rate, follow, and review the podcast.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWhat if real estate didn't compete with family life, but actually made more room for it?In this episode, we sit down with two agents who prove that building a meaningful business and being a present parent do not have to be opposing goals. Andrea Ryan and Zach Clark join us from two different Texas markets with one shared belief: real estate should support the life you want, not steal from it.Andrea shares how a high-risk pregnancy and bed rest forced her to rethink everything she thought she knew about lead generation. From her bedroom, she built a buyer webinar model that still drives her business today while keeping her family at the center. She walks us through the mindset shift, the structure, and the conversational framework that turns online education into long-term clients.Then we talk with Zach Clark, a former teacher who traded the classroom for open houses, diapers, and a brand built on community impact. Zach breaks down how hosting more than 100 open houses jump-started his career, how he converted strangers into clients, and how he now sells 20–25 homes a year while staying fully present as a dad. His community scholarship model shows how contribution can quietly become one of the strongest pillars of a business.This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply human. If you are building a business while raising a family, or hoping real estate can give you more time instead of less, you will see yourself in this episode.Resources:KW Ignite TrainingOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Being a probate real estate specialist brings a unique kind of pressure to the work we do every day.When the market shifts, income feels uncertain.When calls get emotional, the conversation carries weight.When regulations change, both licensed and non licensed folks adjust right alongside the families they help.Here's where a probate real estate specialist stands out.When the options you present feel clear and safe, families respond with trust.When choices feel rushed or confusing, they pull back.This coaching call walks through the conditions that help a probate business grow.The same way real estate pros create movement by giving families choices that protect them and still support your work.You will hear questions from agents, investors, wholesalers, and new professionals stepping into probate for the first time.If you are building your foundation, the call gives direction.If you are scaling, the call shows what to tighten so momentum stays steady.Timestamps/Highlights :00:00 What has to be done in setting up a well rounded business with probate6:20 When you choose probate as your main thing, what makes it worth your time, energy, and money16:20 For non license folks, what needs to be in place for you to feel confident that you get paid fairly when a lead chooses to list24:30 What happens when probate becomes the core instead of a side option in your real estate business37:50 What makes an option feel safe, practical, and respectful for heirs, and how to communicate those choices in a way that still supports your work46:06 How do you decide which leads help your momentum and which ones slow you downIf these questions match what you deal with now, then this call helps you see your next move as a probate real estate specialist or someone entering the space.If you want to understand how probate fits into your long term business, this conversation gives you a clear view of the path other professionals are taking.Watch the call and notice which part connects with you first.Your response usually points to your next step.

Probate real estate leads respond better when your business follows a clear path instead of a mix of unfinished setups. If your leads keep coming in but your system to handle them still feels halfway built, this call helps you see what a complete structure can look like.This session walks through three clear paths for a probate business, the numbers behind a full partnership model, and what happens when a pipeline runs long enough to compound. You will hear how agents  and investors  can plug in their own data, how old lists can still support early months, and what changes around month six when systems, coaching, and lead flow all point in the same direction.This call fits you if...➡️ If you already have probate real estate leads and no clear follow through, then you need a simple way to see where each contact stands.➡️ If you keep going back and forth between building alone or joining a partnership, then you need to hear the economics explained in clear terms.➡️  If you want a business that can keep moving even when you are not prospecting at full speed, then you need to see how ISAs, mail, and resource packages support that outcome.Highlights and Hot Takes: 1:19 Three paths to running a probate business and how each one handles time, money, and support22:20 Using your existing data inside the system and what needs to be true about those leads26:08 Pipeline on autopilot, how calls, mail, and resources keep probate leads moving toward you39:15 Monthly economics for a full partnership and what that looks like in practical numbers46:00 Options for partners who stay beyond six months and how expenses can shift as results grow48:28 Split structure for investors who move deals through this model49:54 What happens if you decide to end mentorship or partnership once systems are in place53:14 Paths for running a lighter version of this setup when you want lower spend1:07:22 Expected outcomes once these systems are implemented and given time to workWhen this matches where you are with your probate real estate leads, watch the call with your own market in mind and decide which path you want to commit to next.

Probate real estate marketing becomes easier to commit to when you can clearly see what is working, what is supporting trust, and what is quietly wasting effort. This coaching call looks at how professionals structure their probate marketing through vendor relationships, visibility channels, and direct conversations, and how those choices shape results over time.A recurring theme in this discussion is alignment.If your marketing activities require more time or emotional energy than you can consistently give, friction builds.If your systems depend on channels that only work under specific conditions, results become unpredictable.This call helps you evaluate whether your current probate real estate marketing setup matches your capacity, your market, and the kind of outcomes you want to support.You'll hear how specialists decide when tools like Google Business Profiles function mainly as credibility checks versus lead sources, how follow-up materials such as probate resumes clarify positioning, and how vendor relationships become referral channels when handled with consistency rather than pressure.The goal is to recognize what needs to be in place before scaling effort, spending more money, or expecting stronger referrals.The timestamps below help you pinpoint where structure, clarity, or support may be missing:2:15Building vendor teams around estate administrationEstate administration vs estate creationHow presenting yourself as a coordinated solution increases referral confidence6:37Three pillars of probate real estate marketingChase, Attract, and Sphere of Influence How balance reduces dependency on any single channel14:20Google Business Profiles in probate marketingWhen they support trust and verificationWhen they realistically contribute to inbound activity18:06Sending credentials after probate conversationsWhat a probate-focused resume clarifiesHow positioning affects follow-through31:37 / 32:12Softening early conversationsLanguage choices that keep dialogue open rather than guarded42:58Adjusting outreach based on contextHow flexibility and volume influence consistencyWhy rigid scripts often limit results

A probate real estate specialist does not succeed by  "just copying" one tactic. Results come from choosing a business model that fits how much time, money, and responsibility you are prepared to handle. This coaching call breaks down how different models actually perform, what happens when deals become more complex than expected, and how professionals adjust without burning out or losing control.If you are deciding how to structure your probate real estate business, the timestamps below help you compare options, pressure-test your current system, and see whether it can support what you want next.Hot takes/Highlights: 00:00Different probate business models and where each one breaks downMail-only systems, attorney-centered referrals, cold calling, ISA support, and paid automationThis section helps you decide whether predictability, control, or cost matters most to you as a probate real estate specialist.13:03Squatters, repairs, time investment, and unexpected expensesWhat happens when responsibility expands beyond the listing and how to think through fees and boundaries before it happens again.32:53Listing agreements with administrators and estatesWho signs and how contracts are typically handled35:30How partner calls work and when they make senseUseful if you are deciding how much support you want versus doing everything yourself.37:00How consistent effort compounds over timeThis helps you evaluate whether your daily inputs match the results you expect long term.37:58How much probate business actually exists and how much typically turns into transactionsThis section helps you decide if your market can support your goals before you overbuild a system.42:34Deciding how much business you wantThen asking whether your current system can realistically produce it43:30Reverse mortgage referrals connected to probateIdentifying motivated situations and filtering opportunities46:47Presenting options based on speed or moneyThis section shows how probate real estate specialists position choices so clients can decide without pressure.If you are refining your approach to probate, these sections help you see what aligns with how you want to operate and where adjustments make sense before scaling further.

Probate attorney referral strategies shape a big part of this coaching call, especially for probate real estate specialists who want steady attorney referral activity, stronger pipelines, and clearer systems. This session gives a steady look at the parts of probate work that influence progress, from pipelines and mail systems to data sources and attorney relationships. If you have been refining how you operate, the sections below help you compare your approach with methods that already support better referrals and cleaner processes.00:00What has to be clear for any probate professional is how a pipeline performs in real time.

If this continues to happen in your workflow, then your marketing system needs to carry more of the weight.This coaching call walks through practical moves that keep probate real estate marketing steady.

Many rookies assume it's easier to buy a rental property in their own market, but today's guest proved you don't need to by taking down his first deal in another area of the country, sight unseen. And good thing he did, because it not only pocketed him $250,000 but also gave him the confidence to leave his W2 job, move to another country, and go all in on real estate investing! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Stephen Keighery was living in one of the most unaffordable cities in Australia when he decided to try his hand in another market.

By pairing wholesaling and the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), he earns active income while rapidly scaling his portfolio! Stephen's secret? He knows his strengths and uses them to his advantage—leveraging his marketing and sales background to grow his network and build rapport with potential sellers. In this episode, he'll show you how to dig into the data and identify up-and-coming markets, hunt down off-market properties, and close! In This Episode We Cover How Stephen made $250,000 in profit from his very first real estate deal Building a real estate business that can replace your W2 income How to scale your real estate portfolio from anywhere in the world Using public data to identify up-and-coming real estate markets How to land your first wholesale real estate deal (in six months or less) And So Much More!

Biggest Lies Miniseries: Myth #5 Most investors think they need to scale to succeed — big teams, big overhead, big chaos. But after 10+ years and 450+ deals, I can tell you the truth: you can build a highly profitable real estate business that supports your dream lifestyle without scaling at all. Start with the life you want — then build the real estate business that supports it.  

n this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, Gary Wilson reconnects with Allan Burns—a New Jersey real estate broker, team leader, and systems-driven entrepreneur who has mastered the art of building plug-and-play real estate operations. From expanding across multiple states to integrating AI into daily workflows, Allan breaks down exactly how modern agents can scale faster than ever—without burning out, without guesswork, and without franchise-level overhead. Allan shares his early beginnings working outdoors in construction before discovering real estate as a pathway to freedom. Since then, he has built a multi-state real estate model centered on systems, operations, repeatability, and creativity. His approach allows agents to plug directly into his ecosystem, get immediate support, and scale their businesses with minimal friction. Throughout the conversation, Gary and Allan dive into the massive opportunities available to agents right now—from automation and AI to new brokerage models that eliminate geographic limitations. Gary also reveals how he uses AI avatars to produce consistent, systemized content, while Allan shows how layering AI on top of strong operational systems creates explosive efficiency. We explore why creativity—not just hustle—is one of the most underrated skills in real estate, how to build systems that work even when you're not around, and how to expand into other markets without the heavy costs and restrictions of traditional franchises. Allan also explains how his Navy-inspired operational discipline allowed him to build systems anyone can follow—giving agents and investors plug-and-play access to leads, training, and expansion opportunities in new markets. Together, Gary and Allan paint a clear picture of the future of real estate: highly automated, system-driven, AI-supported, and borderless. Whether you're an agent looking to scale, an investor seeking leverage, or a team leader aiming to expand beyond your local market, this episode is loaded with practical insights, big-picture strategy, and actionable how-to steps to build a real estate business that can grow anywhere.     What You Will Learn: How Allan transitioned into real estate—and built a multi-state operation And how the desire for freedom pushed him to create systems anyone can plug into. Why creativity is a competitive advantage in real estate And how thinking differently can generate opportunities beyond traditional transactions. How AI is transforming the real estate business From automated content creation with AI avatars to integrating AI in operations, productivity, and scaling decisions. How plug-and-play systems simplify expansion Why systems modeled after military-level operations allow any agent to step in, follow the process, and succeed. How to scale your business into multiple states without franchise costs A modern brokerage approach that removes geographic barriers and reduces overhead. Why every agent is an entrepreneur—not an employee And how this mindset shift opens up unlimited income and creative pathways. How real estate can create multiple interconnected business opportunities From brokerage and investing to property management and education. How to create a business that runs even when you're not present The importance of operational structure, delegating tasks, and automating workflows. How systems + AI = massive leverage And how combining both allows agents to grow faster with less stress and more control. Why the next wave of top agents will be system-driven, tech-enabled, and expansion-minded And how you can start positioning yourself now.     Links & Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheForceGroup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/real.redbank/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/real-red-bank/ Website: https://www.forcenj.com/ Email:allandburns@gmail.com Phone: (732) 213-8987     Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?

In this episode, Kris Krohn breaks down the five foundational steps every beginner needs to build a profitable real estate business. You'll learn what keeps people stuck — and what smart investors do to scale their portfolios with confidence. If you're ready to start your real estate journey, this episode lays out the path.

By every safe, logical metric, Amal should've stayed put. She had a steady salary as a real estate paralegal, a young son to raise, and a clear path inside law firms and a developer's office. Leaving that safety net for full-time commission work felt risky, even reckless.Her strategy now looks simple from the outside. She mixed a finance and marketing degree with nearly a decade of real estate law, added a blended family of four boys, and layered on raw, unpolished social media. The result is a client-first business that runs on referrals, trust, and a growing online audience that feels like it already knows her.Amal grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, raised in a tight Palestinian family that planted deep roots in places like Orland Park and Bridgeview. Arabic was her first language. She went to Islamic school in a Muslim Arab community that has grown over the years, and she loves watching new businesses and families take shape there. Today she still lives in the area, now fluent in both English and Arabic, and serves buyers, sellers, investors, and commercial clients in the southwestern and western suburbs.Before she ever held an open house, Amal spent almost 10 years as a real estate paralegal. She worked at small firms, big downtown firms, and later for a developer. She learned contracts, procedures, short sales, foreclosures, and how deals fall apart. The role paid well and felt safe, especially when she was a single mom. She studied for her license anyway, telling herself that one day she'd make the leap to being a full-time broker.That leap came in 2018, pushed in part by her husband. By then they were married, and he kept repeating the same line: you're good at this, you know more than most agents, you should just do it. He promised to cover the gap while she got off the salary treadmill. Amal admits she was scared. Her first full year in real estate, she closed only four or five deals. But she stayed in, leaned on her paralegal skill set, and let time and relationships do their work.From the start, Amal refused to pretend she was for everyone. Some clients don't match her style or values, and she's learned not to chase them. She reminds herself that real estate is a service business, and that her client's goals have to sit above her commission. That's why she has told buyers to walk away from deals after bad inspections or red flags with associations. “They're going to remember that you looked out for them,” she says, and they'll tell their friends and family who actually did the protecting.This client-first stance shapes how she grows. Instead of cold scripts and hard closes, Amal built around people who already trusted her: family, friends, her local community, and the network she gained from years inside law offices. Her legal background lets her explain the process at a different level, and her calm during the messy parts of a deal turns into five-star Google reviews and quiet referrals. Over time, that turned her business into a mostly referral-based practice and helped her earn top producer status and a Rising Star Award from the Chicago Association of Realtors in 2020.Social media came later and did not come easy. Amal didn't like being on camera. She hated the sound of her own voice and spent hours recording and deleting videos. Her husband pushed again, calling social media a free tool and “the new wave” where people search for everything. At first she did the standard “just closed” posts. They showed that she was busy, but felt boring even to her. The shift happened when she stopped chasing perfect lighting and started sharing real life.One early reel tells the story. Her teenage son insisted she was a boomer. Amal, born in 1985, tried to explain that she's an elder millennial, not part of her parents' generation. He didn't buy it. She ranted on Instagram about...

Episode Overview In Part 4 of the Power Hour Series, John Kitchens and Joel Perso deep-dive into one of the most pivotal milestones of the entire framework—the Profit Engine. If Milestone 1 gave you clarity, Milestone 2 charted your course, and Milestone 3 upgraded your thinking… this is where you finally start architecting the business machine that will free you from the transaction treadmill. John and Joel break down how to build a team-driven, financially sound, scalable real estate business that no longer depends on your personal production. They unpack the four foundational pillars of the Profit Engine—Economic Model, Value Promise, Lead Magnets, and Delivery Model—and show you how each piece fits into the bigger Agent to CEO flywheel. This episode is pure gold for agents, team leaders, and entrepreneurs who want predictable growth, stronger margins, and a business model that actually produces freedom—not burnout. Key Topics Covered 1. The Profit Engine Explained Why this milestone determines whether you grow into a true CEO—or stay stuck as an average frustrated agent (AFA). Why stepping out of production requires a profitable and predictable model—not hope, not hustle. How to think like an architect designing a machine, not a salesperson chasing the next deal. 2. The Economic Model: "Math Must Math" How to design a business that remains profitable as you remove yourself from production. The truth about margins—and why most teams fail because they don't understand cost of sales. Why top-line revenue is vanity, but profit is sanity. Target margins, compensation philosophy, and how to avoid the trap of 75/25 agent splits. Why most agents never escape production because their economic model makes it mathematically impossible. Books mentioned: Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits (Greg Crabtree) Profit First (Mike Michalowicz) Psychology of Money (Morgan Housel) 3. The Promise: Your Value Proposition to the Market "Businesses compete on promise… and survive on the promises they keep." How to define the ONE major pain your ideal client has—and the solution only you provide. Why your value proposition must work for two audiences: Buyers & Sellers Agents How to craft your "Only We…" statement that separates you from every other agent with a business card. 4. The Magnet: Creating Consistent Lead Flow Why picking ONE channel first prevents "half-built bridges." How to build hooks, stories, and offers that attract your ideal client. Why missing CTAs are the #1 reason agents' marketing fails. The metrics you MUST track to know if marketing works (and what to ignore). 5. The Delivery Model: The Promise Kept How to map the 5–7 step client journey that delivers a world-class experience. The secret to scaling: roles, handoffs, and accountability. Why every stage needs a commitment and a deliverable. How your service model drives advocacy, referrals, and repeat business. 6. The Agent to CEO Flywheel Why every milestone fuels the next—and why momentum is everything. Why losing momentum is 10x harder to rebuild than it is to maintain. The leadership principles needed to avoid complacency as you scale. Books mentioned: The Need to Lead by Dave Berke.

The Profit Engine is the blueprint for predictable, scalable, team-driven revenue—so you can step out of production without your business falling apart. As John says: "Words talk. Numbers scream.
