Every December, people come up with predictions for what the real estate market holds in the new year. In this market especially, many of the forecasts are extreme. The truth about home prices might not be quite so dramatic.   We can't predict the future with 100% accuracy, but we can certainly assess probabilities to get an idea of what's coming. Home prices aren't driven by one thing - there are multiple values that play into them. The 2023 real estate market was flat, but 2024 could be different.   What are some of the key factors that influence home prices? Instead of just focusing on market conditions, what should we be doing?   In this episode, I share my predictions for the real estate market, and the variables influencing my position.   The most important thing in 2024 isn't to know what's happening in the market. It's having a great plan. -Tom Cafarella    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   -Why it's hard to make accurate market predictions  Many people are predicting extreme highs or extreme lows. Are the conditions in the market present for any of these scenarios?   -Jobs, wages and inflation  How do these 3 factors play into the home prices and what can we expect in 2024?   -The good news for real estate professionals  There are a ton of people waiting on the sidelines to purchase homes. Will they take action even if rates don't go down?

In real estate investing, nothing wastes more time or loses more money than taking the wrong first steps. Newer investors are at a greater risk of falling into this trap. With all the information and strategies out there, you can end up focusing on things that don't actually move the needle.   What are the key things you need to steer clear of as a newbie? Can doing the right things in the wrong order be a mistake?   In this episode, I share 10 things I wouldn't recommend for newer investors.   We all have limited time so we've got to spend it the right way. We always have to focus on the things that are going to move the needle in our businesses. -Tom Cafarella    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   -Don't be stupidly impatient  Taking too long to start investing is a huge error, but how do we make sure we're not rushing in without a strategy?    -Step 1 vs. step 5 activities Things like building a buyer list, raising capital and even naming our businesses shouldn't be the first thing we focus on. What needs to be priority #1?   -Don't quit your day job cold turkey  Real estate investing promises a high return, but it's not instant. Why is it critical that we keep earning money?

How agents can take advantage of the real estate market.

He's on a mission to help agents get off the roller coaster of sales by investing in Real Estate.Tom's an agent whose income has always been up and down until he started investing.

Ask any real estate agent what's holding them back from investing, and the most common response you'll get is capital or lack thereof. The truth is, raising capital isn't as hard as we think it is. Agents already have the sales skills and database relationships that give us a huge advantage when it comes to raising capital.   I recently attended The Raisemasters Retreat in Miami, and learned key tactics we can put in place to get more capital in our corner. How do we identify who we can reach out to? What are other investors doing to set themselves up for success?   In this episode, I share the biggest nuggets I left the retreat with and how to apply them.   Raising capital isn't about going out there and begging for money. It's about understanding and serving the niche, and you can do that through real estate investing. -Tom Cafarella     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   How to appeal to investors What rate of return do you need to give people for them to be excited about giving you capital? Why taking action is the key to successful investing How can you put yourself in an environment where the only choice is to focus and do the tasks that need to be done? The power of injecting your posts with your personal story and personality When it comes to social media is information always king?

The best investing deals aren't found on the MLS - they aren't even on the market at all. Any investor worth their salt has to know how to find discounted, off-market properties and have a tried and tested strategy to get in front of those homeowners.   Mail has always been my marketing strategy of choice, but because so many things go into it, getting started can be overwhelming. How much money do you need to run a solid mailing campaign? Who do you send the mailers to?   In this episode, I'll share my strategy for mailers and the critical decisions you have to make if you want to succeed.   When it comes to someone selling their house at a discount, your mailer is not going to convince them to do anything, it's just going to show up at the right time. -Tom Cafarella     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   Why we need to ditch the MLS for investing deals Can we easily make the numbers work with traditional listings? How much money you need to invest into your mailing campaign Blanketing entire neighborhoods with mails is expensive and wasteful, which homes and owners are the perfect candidates for mails? How to build your mailing list What is the ideal frequency and cadence to get the opportunity to buy someone's house?

For a lot of people who don't have any capital to invest in real estate, the idea that you can still get a deal sounds unreasonable, unrealistic or downright untrue. The truth is, some of the most successful agent investors start out with no money to put toward deals, but they still manage to grow a portfolio. How do you get in on deals when you don't have the cash? In this episode, I'm going to share unique strategies for getting deals without capital.   As an investor, you need to get really good at finding great deals, finding money and finding good labor. -Tom Cafarella    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode What successful investors are great at What can you bring to the table if you don't have any capital? How to find deals people with capital want to be part of If the MLS is the worst place for deals, where can we find good ones? The necessary components of an investing operation Why is the back office so critical to our success?

In this episode, we talk to Boston's very own Tom Cafarella: CEO, investor, and owner of Ocean City Development. Tom talks about growing up “Boston poor,” abandoning an education in medicine to start in Real Estate, and the power of not listening to the nay-sayers to get some deals done and gain Real Leverage.You can reach Tom at: (https://www.facebook.com/tommy.cafarella)If you're interested in partnering with David, you can reach out at (http://www.realleverage.net)

The thought of real estate investing is enough to get most agents excited, but when it comes to actually getting started, only a small number are willing to take the leap.    What's stopping more people from getting into the space? Is there a way for agents with no experience in investing to feel more comfortable taking the first steps?    In this episode, Realtor, investor and founder of Invested Agents, Chris Bounds shares his advice for newbies.  "Living below your means is very simplistic, but key. If you're always spending what you're making, it's hard to grow." -Tom Cafarella     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   How to get investment deals without a marketing budget Is there an alternative to running ads when we simply don't have the funds to set up an extensive marketing campaign?   Why flipping holds us back from the GREAT life Flipping is one of the first things agents think of when they hear the words ‘real estate investing,' but could that particular activity be stopping us from reaching our income goals sooner?   Key advice for all newbie investors How can we set ourselves up for success when we're brand new to the space?

Agents have used technology to bolster their marketing for years, so it should come as no surprise that tech companies are eager to take back control and get a slice of the pie. The only question is, how can agents compete with them?   Are small teams destined to fail in the face of big business competitors, or do we both stand to win? Just how big of an advantage do iBuyers have, and what do human agents have that tech players don't?    In this episode, repeat victim of the show and host of the Agent Investor podcast, Tom Cafarella shares how to continue to thrive when tech companies are determined to take the market.    Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode    Why iBuyers are outbidding mom and pop investors What do iBuyers stand to gain by outbidding investors, especially when the bids seem like a poor decision?    How to hit iBuyers in their weak spot iBuyers have a ton of advantages over us, but they do have a weak spot, too. What is it, and how can we take advantage of it?   The market GUARANTEED to keep seeking out human agents Which market segment is most likely to work with real agents in the long term?   Guest Bio Tom Cafarella is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster, coach, and seasoned real estate investor. In addition to being the founder of Ocean City Development, Tom is also the founder/broker of Cameron Real Estate Group, where he leads a team of more than 200 agents serving greater Boston and Massachusetts.

Many agents feel apprehensive about getting into the investing side of real estate, and the current competitiveness in the market doesn't help those hesitations.    However, for those who are willing to leap, investing could be the thing that takes their business to the next level.   How does an agent make the shift to an investor? Can we use the investment side of things to bolster our existing real estate businesses?   How do we even begin to identify great deals when we're new to the investing space?    In this episode, I’m joined by the host of the Agent Investor Podcast and co-founder of Ocean City Development, Tom Cafarella. We discuss how agents can maximize their results with real estate investing. "The great news for agents saying they're not investors is, you don't need to be. Team up! There are so many people out there with cash, and it won't take much time to find investors." -Tom Cafarella     Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode     What to do if we don't feel comfortable investing Not everyone feels comfortable investing, so don't be afraid to team up. A simple Facebook post can be all it takes to connect with potential partners.     How investing allows us to maximize every opportunity Often, agents will go into a property, assess that it needs a lot of work to go to market, and that marks the end of the road, but it doesn't have to be.   Why investing is a great fallback option for every agent Most of the time, sellers prefer listing their properties to taking a cash deal, but there is a small percentage who won't. How can you create a service offering that meets the needs of those sellers?  Guest Bio-    Tom Cafarella is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, speaker, and coach.

Have you ever failed at anything? If you have, that failure may actually point you in the right direction and encourage you to take risks that payoff. After failing at college, Tom Cafarella thought about what he wanted to do - earn enough passive income to not have to work. He has built up a passive income portfolio to where he does not have to work much. However, it turns out that he loves to work and puts in 80-90 hours each week because he enjoys real estate so much. Tom had strong mentors in his life to show him the way to make his dream of passive income come true. While growing up, the only person he knew who had a decent amount of money was his grandfather, who worked minimum wage jobs his whole life. But the one thing he did do was buy multifamily real estate in and around the Boston area. He was the only person Tom knew that really didn't have to work that hard. Tom decided to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps. He decided to go after it because he always wanted to be a passive income investor and buy multifamily properties. Topics on Today’s Episode: When starting a business, you've got to be prepared to get your teeth kicked in - doesn’t matter who you are, how smart you are, or how hard you work Find a mentor because you'll get kicked in the teeth less, if you have somebody who's already been through the fight Tom has multiple streams of income, and every single one has been taught to him by somebody Right now, there's a ton of money being made on the fix-and-flip side of the real estate business; things change, so even out your cash flow and be nimble When most successful entrepreneurs use a system that works, just follow it and model success; don’t try to recreate the wheel To survive when things aren’t working, find a new plan and shift gears; what's the fastest way to cash? Prime capital to deploy, buy strategically based on cash flow and model, and have infrastructure in place to efficiently make money when change happens People who are not seasoned operators overpay, and a tweak in the interest rates changes a whole paradigm for a lot of people Everybody was buying with crazy loans, and nobody was renting, so rents decreased; prices are too high, but there's no good alternative, if they start to fall Tom is doing development because they're brand new and easier to manage Tom’s private money comes from a lot of different sources: Levering out personal assets, owning rental properties, refinancing, and utilizing average individuals It’s harder to raise capital in the beginning because people want to see a track record; once you have one, it becomes much easier to point to your successes Links and Resources Mentioned: Tom Cafarella on YouTube Tom Cafarella Webinar Real Estate Mogul Podcast David Lindahl Brett Tanner Mike Hambright   Quotes: “I'm a pretty entrepreneurial person, very entrepreneurial.

Tom Cafarella is a real estate investor, speaker, and the owner of Ocean City Development, a real estate firm that puts the needs of their clients first. Before becoming a real estate investor, Tom was on track to becoming a doctor, a profession he chose because it was the most lucrative at the time.   Tom was focused on completing his medical degree when he picked up Robert Kiyosaki's “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” audio book. He realized that his career path in medicine wasn't the right fit for him. Tom quickly pivoted, changed degrees and turned his attention to business and accounting. His post college accounting career path was short lived when he was fired for daydreaming (researching real estate). Tom jumped into the real estate game and began taking massive action to make ends meet.   In this episode, Tom shares the story about his entrepreneur's journey into the real estate industry and the many obstacles that he had to overcome along the way. He drills into why it's important to do what you love and why you shouldn't lie to yourself when it comes to choosing a career. Tom reveals his tricks to finding qualified sellers as well as provides examples of how to always stay one step ahead of the competition.   Five Key Points: The harder the task, the less competition you will have. The first step in a new venture is always the hardest. Our number one job as investors is to find opportunities and take advantage of them. There's no direct career path to real estate investing and that is why guidance from a mentor is necessary. Most new investors make the mistake of having a preconceived notion of what it should take to get a good deal   Pro tip: Prioritize your time and complete the hardest task for the day first.   Thank you Tom for taking the time to share your expertise on finding properties ahead of the competition.

A lot of team leaders make the mistake of obsessing over who is consuming their coaching content. What metric should you actually be paying attention to? How do you get people on your team to buy into your coaching? If you want to level up, do you bring on more people or do you go deeper on training the ones you have? On this episode, we are joined by Tom Cafarella to discuss how he can get his brokerage to reach their goal of doubling their conversion ratio. You have to lead the current people at a higher level, before bringing in more people to lead. -Greg Harrelson Takeaways + Tactics The first part of script memorization is muscle memory When coaching: Be attached to what you’re delivering, not what people are consuming. Set standards based on an agent’s activity-- not an agent’s production. At the start of the show, we talked about how Tom built a machine of motivated seller leads, and why the first key to success is taking action. Next, we talked about a process for memorizing a script and how to create validation by investing in a few select people. We also discussed why it’s necessary to have 10 people buy into your coaching. We also discussed: Why the coach has to appear first Why you should change up one thing in your accountability system How to coach the people you have at a higher level Tom’s lead sources When you are trying to level up and increase your conversion ratio, hiring doesn’t solve the problem. You have to lead your existing team members at a higher level first. It can be easy to get caught-up obsessing over whether enough people are consuming your coaching. As the leader, ask yourself what activities are going to make the agent successful and hold them to those activities. If they’re not willing to live up to at least one small standard, you need to talk to them about whether they’re a right fit for the company. Guest Bio Tom is the owner/broker of Cameron Real Estate Group. He is an investor, trainer, residential team leader and seller lead gen expert. "Cameron Real Estate Group was founded in 2004, and began working with homeowners facing mortgage related issues in 2007 when the Boston real estate market began its decline.

What are the marketing tactics local business owners can use to increase their ROI? On this episode, Tom Cafarella joins us to discuss how he became a lead generation master and his top strategies.

To avoid this, never drop your marketing budget and take it further by squeezing more from the budget. Find your target market, define who it is specifically, and speak to them specifically.
