  • Episode 50: Using VAs to Grow Your Business
    Mitch Stephen has been a self-employed RE investor for 20+ years. His real estate investing career started at the age of 23 when he read “Nothing Down” by Robert Allen.

    REAL ESTATE INVESTOR: Mitch, together with his wife, Tommi, and his daughter, Shannon purchased their fair share of local houses. Their company, Independence Day, Inc., has bought and sold over 1,400 properties in and about San Antonio, Tx since 1996. This company specializes in buying distressed properties with OPM and the selling of those owner financed properties.

    AUTHOR:
    Mitch is the author 3 books:

    MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES:
    Failing Forward to Financial Freedom

    MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES:
    200+ Ways to Find Bargain Properties

    My Life & 1,000 Houses
    The Art of Owner Financing

    For more info about these books go to http://1000houses.com/the-book/

    EDUCATOR:
    Mitch offers Online Education, Group Coaching, and one-on-one Mentorships as it relates to all the aspects of Owner Financing and owner financed properties.

    Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.

    The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline you selling process.

    What you’ll learn about in this episode:
    What Mitch delegates and why he recommends you do it too
    Why you should put as many people as you can on a plan where they get paid when you get paid
    Moat Note Servicing: Mitch’s daughter Shannon’s service for delegating your payment collection and reporting
    Mitch acquisition agents (and the acquisition manager) – what are their roles
    The sales person Mitch subcontracts with and how she manages the home sales
    Why you should use VAs from the Philippines and why the price you pay is well worth it.
    Microbilt and Postcardmania: Skip Tracing and Direct Mail services
    How to decide what can be delegated by tracking your tasks each hour
    Using Livecomm.com for seller and buyer leads

  • Episode 49: Your First Flip

    First 3 Flips was founded by Tom Krol. Tom is an expert marketer and wholesaler.

    After being fired from his sales job in lawn care, he started wholesaling houses and quickly rose to one of the most successful flippers in the country, closing more than 100 deals in his first 18 months of business.

    You’ll find that his approach to marketing is measured, effective and focused on finding deals, not creating them. He developed his strategy in his first few months of wholesaling, pulling the very best methods from the largest flippers in the industry.

    More specifically, he uses the perfect blend of data driven marketing (conversion rates, research, and case studies) and content marketing to get traffic, attract home sellers, and locate elusive cash buyers.

    What you’ll learn about in this episode:

    Why wholesaling is the cornerstone of real estate investing
    Why wholesaling is closer to what pawn shops do than what real estate usually does
    Why you need to create your business so that it can run without you
    The analysis paralysis that people get stuck in on their first deal
    Why you need a coach or mentor
    Using a CRM inside your business
    Tom’s script for motivated sellers
    Why you MUST read “The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity” by Edwene Gaines
    How to find private money
