If you were investing in real estate during The Great Recession, then you probably remember that most of the best deals during that time were either bank foreclosures or short sales.

Because they tend to escalate during economic downturns!

Most investors believe that Short Sales are only prevalent during recessions (which is generally the case), but our guest, David Randolph, never got the memo… so he continued buying (and making big profits from) Short Sales even as the economy got better and better.

In essence, he turned conventional wisdom on its ear and proved that Short Sales can actually be a lucrative investing strategy – in both good times and bad!

Here's just a sample of what we dive into:

• The 2 most important things to focus on in the Short Sale process – to create 6-figure paydays!

• How to get started with Short Sales…. even while working a full-time job.

• The biggest pond to go fishing for Short Sale buying opportunities in today's market (where there's 3x the inventory).

• Where to get a list of Short Sale prospects… for less than 20¢ per contact.

• The CORRECT definition of a short sale (just about everyone has this wrong!).

• Biggest mistakes made by new short sale investors.

• The power of "sequential marketing"… and why it's one of the most powerful strategies you can employ.

• Much, much more!

If you love systems, processes, and a step-by-step checklist approach to doing business… you're gonna love David's approach on how to capitalize big with Short Sales.

More about David Randolph:

David retired from a successful corporate job at age 42 to help homeschool his kids through high school. But after they went off to college with full-ride scholarships, David asked himself, what's next?

On a whim, David and his wife attended a three-day real estate conference and everything changed - he was hooked, and became an avid student of real estate. He invested in courses, conferences, seminars, and more. But it wasn't until he figured out he could flip and sell houses that he saw everything click. He started making $30K profit on a house, then $40K, then $60K and now David consistently makes $50K - $150K profit in both rehabs and wholesales on houses.

Based on his success, he's since shifted his focus and is now a Short Sale Coach, Rehab Educator as well as a Real Estate Investor.

Desiree just closed on a $1.9M deal… Kathleen was able to buy dozens of notes and made a "boatload of money" during the last downturn… and Janice is now able to partner on more and bigger deals.

All that and more was made possible because all 3 of them created a "platform" that expanded their network and influence… and almost naturally brought them a steady flow of deals, opportunities, and capital.

In our opinion, building a platform is one of the most impactful things any real estate entrepreneur can do "attract" deal flow and money – as long as you're doing the right things.

And these women have been doing it right for many, many years now!

Here's a sample of what we discuss:

• What is a 'platform'… and how anyone can create one to start attracting an abundance of opportunities.

• The most IMPACTFUL things you can do to deepen relationships with your tribe.

• Woody Allen once said that "80% of success is just showing up". True or false? And can it really be that simple?

Derek Alexandrenko has been a real estate investor for the past 18+ years and has been involved in a variety of investing strategies including house hacking, fix & flips, multifamily, build to rent, long-term rentals, and retail. These days, as a licensed general contractor and developer, his primary focus is on ground-up construction of single-family home communities built with the intent to rent rather than sell.

Derek began real estate investing in the early 2000s, purchasing his first property at the age of 19 while making $7/hour working at Home Depot. Three years later he graduated college owning three homes on the same street, plus a 27-unit apartment building.

From those humble beginnings, Derek discusses his journey, and how we as able to grow his real estate holdings to a portfolio valued at over $33M!

In this stimulating conversation, we discuss things like:

• How he bought his first house with only $6k out of pocket… found a couple of roommates to rent out 2 of the bedrooms… and got to live in the home mortgage-free (that's what we call "House Hacking" these days!).

• Buying a 27-unit apartment building as a college student… the struggles he had with cash flow and making the mortgage payment… and how he still was able to make a 6-digit profit when he sold it (a testmament to the power of "timing" in the real estate game!).

• Buying an existing property vs. new construction: Which is better? And the pro's and cons of each.

• What skills, approach, and mindset does it take to become a great builder or developer?

• How he built a $33M real estate portfolio primarily using the BRRR Method. In case you're not famillar with that, it stands for:

B = Buy

R = Rehab

R = Rent

R = Refinance

… and if you buy and rehab right, it's a way to build up your portfolio and eventually end up with little to none of your own money in the deal (after you refinance).

• What Derek would've done differently, or added, to grow even faster over the past 2 decades.

• Keys to buying the "right" piece of land to build on.

• Why Derek is so excited about developing Build-to-Rent Communities consisting of 100-200 homes… and why he considers this asset class the "crown jewel" of the real estate industry right now and for years to come.

You'll enjoy Derek's simple, low-key, and seemingly stress-free approach to winning BIG in the new construction game.
