I’m changing up this episode of Real Estate Investment Masters because my guest today isn’t focused on investing. Frank Curtin is focused on investors. I have known Frank Curtin for 6 years now, and he’s part of my mastermind group, so I’ve seen firsthand how he’s helped investors just like us get organized, get focused, and start succeeding the way they’re supposed to in this business. He breaks down the 8 core things you must know to have a thriving business and shares his experiences and anecdotes so you can see how his processes work in real life with real business models. [youtube]https://youtu.be/J0VZylKXSR0[/youtube] Real estate investment requires focus, time, and the ability to implement the systems, software, and processes that work best for you and your team. Frank discusses how to break down your unique abilities so you can see what’s working for you and what isn’t.  In fact, if you tune in right now, Frank and I are going to tell you exactly how you can start transforming your job and your small business into your full-time and fulfilling career.

You won’t always see Jim Huntzicker on stage at seminars, but he’s shaking things up in the market and online with his amazing courses, books, and mastermind groups. On today’s episode, I’m digging deep into his unique profit master strategy which relies on estate sales, SEOs, and a little of what Jim calls “ninja psychology.” Jim is the creator and founder of the Real Estate Investor Academy, his own personal brand that seeks out like-minded entrepreneurs to work together and offer consultation and advice amid our ever-changing real estate environment. He is one investor who understands the importance of an education, and he is teaching everything he knows to anyone willing and interested in pursuing a career like ours. [youtube]https://youtu.be/itO-Uc5wJW8[/youtube] Pay close attention because Jim talks fast and he’s dropping fantastic nuggets of knowledge. He shares his inside experience building relationships and working with REO agents and talks about what you can do to build up your own productive sales relationships with everyone, from partners, to investors, to contracting teams. Learning how to follow up and manage your time are only a few of the tips Jim has for us today, so tune in now to catch a glimpse of Jim Huntzicker’s ninja psychology in action.

Normally we talk about profit master investment strategies on this podcast, but today I’m doing this a little bit differently. We’ve all been taught that LLCs are the way to go in this business, but my guest today is about to throw a wrench into that idea right now. According to Clint Coons, co-founder of the Anderson Law Group, LLCs could be causing you to miss out on the valuable capital you damn well deserve. He explains why by breaking down the complicated legal jargon of real estate and giving us some insider tips on how to find investors, secure our profit, and even lead our property managers. [youtube]https://youtu.be/ow3h2fU1PlU[/youtube] Clint may be a lawyer, but he understands what it’s like to work in real estate. He comes from a long line of lawyers, investors, and flippers. He has spent his life growing up deep in the scene of property flipping and managing. Combining legal expertise with real world experience is Clint’s forte, and the advice he has for us today is definitely going to change the way we look at our businesses.
