If you've ever questioned one of those no and low money down real estate strategies... Questions like:

Do they really work?

Are they as complicated as they sound?

Could I possibly do that instead of waiting for my finances to get right?

If you find yourself nodding your head to any of those questions, then this episode may be exactly what the doctor ordered. I'm a big believer that we our mindset dictates everything we do, don't do and can't do in life as well as what we choose to learn and accept as truth.

In this episode you'll take the truth journey with me to discover the real deal behind no money down deals for first time real estate investors.

Lastly, I'm hosting a brand new LIVE masterclass titled 4 Keys To Building A Lifestyle Business Through Real Estate, will you join me?

Health, Wealth and Time Freedom wrapped up with a bow in 1 jam-packed episode...

You may believe that building wealth as an investor is all about about putting aside money for vacancy, repairs, and long term capital improvements, so the funds are there when you need them -- this is 100% true and we'll discuss this on today's podcast, but that's not all.

To have a better quality of life, that wealth should be about much more. How about wealth in time? Wealth in health?

Time freedom and health are just as important so Rocky Lalvani and I discuss how to achieve maximum output in each area with the minimum effective dosage (MED). This concept will blow your mind and may move you to make some big changes in your business and life.

If you are an investor and are tired of subpar data providers, going to the county courthouse, wrongly estimating repair costs or the lack of access to the MLS, then I have a solution for you.

There's a software that I've been using in my business for quite some time now, I've fostered its use so much so that instead of the 10 different apps that I used before, I now only need 1 other software (said other software will be explain in detail in an upcoming episode).

For this amazing episode, I brought on Burton Alicando, the Senior Product Specialist for the software that I use to find, analyze and market my real estate deals.

Key Points From This Episode:

• The biggest mistake newbie investors make when pulling lists or choosing a real estate software for their business
• A way around the outdated time consuming way of getting the data you need to make offers
• The misconception that you need a realtor for MLS level data
• A way around the anonymity of non disclosure states and sold prices of homes
• How a newbie investor can be spot on with estimating repair costs
• How you can find, analyze and market to your leads with one tool

This is one of my favorite software tools to date because it does so much in my business. If you are an investor, here are some of the things you can look forward to with this software:

• Generating Leads Lists (with MLS level data) - Pre-foreclosure, vacant, bankruptcy, utility liens and much more
• Vetting Properties - Comparables, mortgage balances, tax info, title research and much more
• Calculating Rehab Costs - Labor/material cost data is sourced at the county-level nationwide so allow the software to guide you through the right renovation budget
• Marketing Tools - Postcards, email marketing, voicemail drops and much more including your own customizable landing page website.
