Welcome to Real Estate Investing Profit Masters! I’ve got my twin on the podcast today! At least, people are always saying we look alike. But Alex Joungblood is really killing it on the scene today with his wholesaling and construction projects. The man can balance it all – work, family, and investing – and really just has an amazing and positive approach to life and everything that he does.

A mistake landed him in the wholesaling business. Alex messed up his first deal, ended up going to court and lost money, but wholesaling got him out of the deal. He made a $12,000 profit, even after losing money initially, and it’s not just because he has good luck. Alex is an awesome business man with a positive attitude. He’s developed incredible hacks to break out of stagnant investing strategies. He and I actually worked together to bring a few of these hacks to you at WholsalingHousesFullTime.com/Cory. These are very basic hacks you can do without having a whole bunch of robots or virtual assistants. Alex doesn’t even have a virtual assistant at the moment. He’s crushing it all on his own, and he’s been able to create the kind of lifestyle he and his family deserve.

What makes Alex so successful? It’s definitely his “no excuses” mentality. You know that nothing is going to happen if you don’t do something first. It’s up to you to turn mistakes into profits, and it’s up to you to take that first step toward success. Even if you try it once, go get a “real job”, and then come back to real estate later (which is exactly what Alex did), all of your success will be because you took the initiative to learn what you needed to in order to get the job done. You’ve gotta take the leap if you want to fly. So Alex and I want to know – what’s YOUR next move?

I am amped about today’s episode of REIP. I haven’t been this excited for an interview in a really long time. My guest today is totally changing the scene through his investment strategies and his faith, and I couldn’t be more psyched to have him on today. Paul Moore is the real estate investor behind Smith Mountain Homes and Wellings Capital, and he’s got the perfect balance between earning and giving back. This interview is one of my favorites, so strap in and get ready to have your mind blown. And please watch us on the video because Paul’s got amazing charts and graphs that really illustrate how his multi-family investing strategy works.

Paul started out flipping properties like the rest of us, but how he got into multi-family investing is really interesting. He shares today how he launched an entrepreneurial venture in Detroit, got bored, and started flipping houses before flipping was even a thing. He started with mobile homes and moved up into waterfront properties. Things got tough when the housing bubble popped, like it did for most of us, but his recovery strategy was all about giving back. He was giving to others when he had nothing and it paid off in a huge way. He’s now working with multi-million dollar investments and teaching other investors how to benefit from the low risk and tax cuts of commercial investment in apartments and multi-family homes. Be sure to watch our interview video because Paul is sharing his graphs and his work illustrating how multigenerational profits work and how you can cash in on multifamily properties and investing. Start video at the 25 minute mark to see Paul’s charts and graphs that cover the on-going transformation of the housing market as we move through the 21st century.

My guest today is not your traditional fix and flip guy. He’s not even a wholesaler. Scott Meyers applied his winning real estate investment strategy to self-storage! Which is amazing to think about because many of us have probably never even considered self-storage as an option. But for investing, self-storage is extremely lucrative. And in today’s episode Scott Meyers shares his strategies and how self-storage investment is practically recession proof.

Scott did get his start with wholesales, short sales, and rentals, but with the dot-com crash in the late 90s and the housing crashing in the mid-2000s, Scott wanted to try something different. He was sick of taking the risks on the banks and the tenants and knew there had to be a safe way to do what he loved in real estate while minimizing the risk to his investments. He listened to his wife and decided to invest in storage units. He’s developed and purchased over 5000 units, out in the middle of nowhere, all across the country, and now he’s looking to develop and convert existing facilities that are in the need of modernization. There are so many different options for real estate investment that you really can’t go wrong, especially when you put your mind and your heart into something that’s so important to you and your family.

A lot of people go in for the kill in this business, but my guest today is all about focusing on the bigger picture. Cody Hofhine’s expertise may be in wholesaling and whole-tailing (something he breaks down in this episode), but he devotes most of his energy and his time to building sales relationships that pay off. His motto is “ERT”, which stands for “establishing relationships of trust”. He knows he can’t close a deal if there’s no trust between him and the client, so he and his team focus on being the best friend they can be before ever drawing up a contract.   This real estate investing strategy is paying off too! Cody just got started last May, and his business is booming in Utah. He talks about how he pulled in a profit of $27K on one of his toughest sales just through trust and perseverance. Maintaining open lines of communication and an open mind are key to his success, and he’s here to talk about how the process of selling is actually a process of loving – loving yourself, loving your clients, loving your team and loving this business. [Tweet "If you can mimic the rockstars, you can become a rockstar pretty quick. - Cody"] MINUTE MARKERS 3:40 - Here’s Mr. Cody Hofhine! 4:25 - What is Cody’s real estate focus in Utah? 4:55 - Cody breaks down his whole-tailing process 5:11 - What is Cody’s biggest influence in investing? 6:13 - What was Cody’s breaking point? 8:23 - Cody’s biggest challenge in real estate and how he powered through 12:46 - What is Cody’s investing strategy? 13:13 - Cody drops some knowledge on how to hire the best team possible 16:30 - What kind of success is Cody seeing in Utah? 20:30 - Stay-at-home moms and virtual assistants are the rockstars on Cody’s team 22:23 - What’s the greatest lesson Cody’s learned? 23:45 - Cody’s best advice for new real estate investors is to find a mentor! 26:45 - Cody’s favorite motivational quote 28:30 - “The Slight Edge” is the book that changed Cody’s life 30:00 - What app is Cody using every day? 34:34 - Why does Cody wake up at 5am every day? 35:58 - What is Cody most grateful for? 36:45 - How important has a mentor been to Cody’s success? 38:06 - What is the secret to Cody’s motivation? 42:44  onnect with Cody at Investor Grit [Tweet "Keep it simple, break it down simple, and keep it actionable. - Cody"] Links and Resources: Rhinoceros Success by Scott Alexander Best Vinyl Fencing The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy Tony Robbins The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson Cam Scanner App Investor Grit Full Transcript Download the PDF Transcription Cory: What is going on, people, people, people. This is Cory Boatright, I am your host of Real Estate Investing Profit Masters and the founder of Real Estate Investing Profits. I hope you’re having a phenomenal, fun, productive, amazing, incredible day. Every day that we’re above ground is a huge blessing. Can I get an Amen? I hear one? There is. Alright, thank you. We have an incredible guest. All our guest are incredible but this one today is going to talk about wholesaling and wholetailing. Wholesaling and wholetailing, have you heard of what wholetailing is? Well if you haven’t, make sure you stay tuned and listen to what Cody Hofhine is really doing out there in Utah. He’s going to blow you away. He’s got some great tips. His story is phenomenal. You just going to be a really riveted by some of the things he’s got going on right now. I’m excited to have you here, this interview. I’m also excited for you to download your Quick Start Guide, your Ultimate Real Estate Investing Down and Dirty Quick Start Guide by texting the word profit to 38470. That is texting the word profit to 38470. It automatically, magically, be sent over to you. Click on the link, download it, and you got it. Alright. I hope that you are going to stay tuned here and listen all the way through in this interview, it is great.

I’m really excited about my guest today because his outlook on business is a little different than anybody else I’ve had on the show. Tom Olson has managed to incorporate giving back into his KPI, and his investment strategy focuses on giving back to people just as much as he turns profits for himself. This kind of perspective, and the advice he’s giving out for young people today, is extremely important to your and my continued success in this business. [youtube]https://youtu.be/AUEmtBAWoSE[/youtube] Tom’s real estate investment strategy is all about adding value. He uses wholesaling and leasing options to grow his turnover, but he also loves lending and manages to use that to his benefit as well. You might think this kind of success is hard to come by. How can you achieve so much and share so much at the same time? When you think outside of yourself, that process becomes much easier. Because achievement doesn’t happen overnight. Achievement is a process, a process that you share with others and work on with others.

A lot of the guests I bring on my show are killing it in the real estate investment scene, but most of them focus on single-family properties. I’m changing it up a bit today to bring you guys something new. This new perspective comes from Rod Khleif, real estate investor extraordinaire and host of his own podcast, The Lifetime Cash Flow. Rod is blowing the rest of us out of the water because his trick is multifamily units. [youtube]https://youtu.be/Av2pTSweBDM[/youtube] Multifamily units can sound kind of intimidating, but as Rod says on today’s episode, buying a duplex (or a triplex or a quadplex) is the same as buying a single-family home. You don’t have to go big with a 10 or 20-unit apartment or commercial property, but you can start small and still grow a nice nest egg to retire with. The point is to break out and away from your fear and try something new. Rod shares some his experiences and his real estate investment strategy to help you get started with your own multifamily investments. Beyond his experience and his money-making, Rod also has huge advice for those of us who are still trying to figure out what we’re doing here. Yes, we’re investing, yes we’re flipping properties, but are you passionate about it? Rod wants to know how you’re working to find your ultimate mission. Rod is grateful for his ability to help other people, and he wouldn’t be able to do that if he wasn’t an ace at real estate investing. His smart investment strategies paid off not only for himself and his family but for the foundations and communities he helps out. Because when you love what you do, work is play, and you end up sharing this great, successful energy with everyone around you. [Tweet "I’ve realized that what drives me now is having the ability to have the biggest impact. - Rod"] MINUTE MARKERS 4:15 - What’s Rod’s expertise right now in the investing world? 6:05 - Why Rod thinks multifamily properties are awesome 7:08 - Rod’s mom is his biggest influence and motivator 8:04 - A few tricks to build appreciation and wealth with multifamily properties 9:40 - What was the biggest challenge Rod faced? 11:44 - Why should you start considering multifamily units? 13:07 - What lesson got Rod to where he’s at today? 15:35 - What’s the acronym for FEAR? 19:01 - This is what happens when you step out of your comfort zone 20:20 - How to organize your goals for success 22:22 - What would have Rod done differently? 25:58 - The two things you need to do to start working multifamily 30:33 - Rod’s favorite motivational quote 33:00 - What is Rod’s morning routine? 34:04 - Rod calls himself a “technological midget” 34:50 - Why does Rod use CRM? 39:39 - How in the world does Rod get over 8 hours of sleep a day? 40:04 - Rod’s a romantic and most grateful for his wife and family 41:25 - Rod has an important message for you, my listeners 44:14 - How important has coaching been for Rod’s career? 45:24 - Rod is in this business for more than just the material things 49:25 - Text the word ROD to 41411 to pre-order his new book!

What is going on? My name is Cory Boatright, I am the founder of Real Estate Investing Profits and your host on Real Estate Investing Profit Master’s podcast series. We’re going to change up what we’ve been doing here for the last, I don’t know, 30 episodes or so. I appreciate you attending and all of the fantastic comments that come for the podcast. I do my very best to bring on some killer guests for you and basically extract everything I possibly can out of their brain to help you in your investing journey. What we’re doing today is something different. I’m going to bring on, in about three minutes, a guy that is someone that you going to want to pay a lot attention to not only from what he has to say and the five pillars he’s going to go over but also really taking notice of some of the things that he’s done in his life to impact other people. His name is Mr. Craig Ballantyne and he is basically a productivity and success transformation coach. He’s at Toronto, Ontario, Canada and he’s basically authored a perfect day formula, how to own the day and control your life. Why would I bring on a productivity expert for a real estate investing podcast? Well,

If you’re in the business of real estate investing, then I know why you’re listening to this podcast. But my guest today is here to talk about how you can balance your own business and use real estate as a sort of passive income that can build your wealth and, eventually, give you more free time to spend on the things that truly matter to you!  [youtube]https://youtu.be/V_DlgynkxXE[/youtube] Dr. David Phelps is my guest today. You’d never guess it, but he transitioned from dentistry to real estate quite easily. Because that’s the thing about this business, isn’t it? You can bounce around until your find your niche. The business of real estate investment is very simple, but most of us complicate it by thinking too hard or trying too hard. I know I’m guilty of it, even David’s guilty of it, but he’s talking today about how you can balance the simple stuff with the hard stuff and still come out ahead. And you come out ahead when you focus on maintaining your entrepreneurial spirit. Consider this – instead of investing just money, ask yourself what kind of people you are investing in. David’s biggest takeaway from this episode is how to invest in the right people who have the integrity, the track record, and the critical thinking necessary to be successful in real estate. While we all may like to think we can do it alone, there is absolutely no reason you have to. So tune in now to hear how David broke through dentistry and keeps himself a team of amazing people that support and work together with him to keep business booming.

We are continuing to grow and I'm excited about today’s interview with Dr. David Phelps. He’s right around the Dallas Fort Worth area. He is going to talk to you about some pretty powerful concepts of how he’s working with mostly practices and doctors and CPA professionals and dentists, primarily dentists, that basically are tied to the chair. They’re tied to doing this kind of day to day work which is fine, it’s great, but there’s a lack of passive income, there’s nothing coming in whenever they don’t go to work. How many of us felt that same way or maybe feel that same ...

My guest today – Frank Cava – is easily one of my favorite people. We met awhile back as part of our mastermind group, and we’ve been swapping secrets ever since. I’m excited to have him on the show today because his particular real estate investment strategy is killing it in three different markets right now: rentals, fix-and-flips, and wholesale. How can one guy do so much? Not only is he one of the smartest guys I know (seriously, listen to him break down the numbers), he’s also one of the best guys to work with and for. [youtube]https://youtu.be/oLqgzowmTjw[/youtube] Frank says he owes his success to the fact that he runs his business like a real business and not like a hobby. He’s got a real office and a real staff - a team of 9 that he’s hired, trained, and still manages, and he talks today about what it’s like to take the time to build a team like that. Firstly, you have to be honest about what you know and what you don’t know. Only then will you be able to find the right people to fill in the gaps of your investment strategy. You’ve also got to know when to give up control so you can put new controls in place. His amazing anecdotes about his team and the way they work together will really get you thinking about how to best hire your staff. [Tweet "I really realized the most important thing in this business is lead generation. - Frank"] On top of his management skills, Frank’s also got a keen and clear real estate investment strategy – he puts out more mailers than anyone else! No one sends more snail mail than this guy, and he’s generating the right leads and getting in touch with the right people who are willing and able to sell their properties. Frank’s consistent presence in the market makes his name more recognizable than anyone else out there, and his amazing flipping team and their unbelievably fair wholesale and rental prices keep his brand and reputation trustworthy and reliable across his niche. The marketing tips he shares on this episode will really change the way you look at lead generation.
