In this episode, we sit down with Brent Daniels to unpack what it really takes to stay in the wholesaling game when most people burn out or disappear. Brent shares how a single line on a settlement statement (“assignment fee”) changed his entire path, how he rebuilt after losing everything in 2008, and why he now keeps his model simple: fast assignments, strong systems, and no shiny-object chasing. 

We also dig into what happened to wholesaling after the boom — from text blasting getting shut down, to interest rates wiping out hobby investors, to new regulations forcing people to either get serious or get out. Brent explains why compliance and transparency are now an advantage, what his typical sellers really look like today, and the only three ways deals actually come in: paid marketing, outbound hustle, or referrals.

To close, Brent zooms out and gets real about money and lifestyle. He talks about using 0% business credit for runway, keeping a few key properties free and clear, and putting most of his wealth into simple market vehicles instead of chasing “1,000 doors” for social media. His message is clear: invest in yourself, tell the truth even when people want a dream, and build a business that lets you sleep at night and be present with your family. 

If you care about staying in real estate for the long term — not just making a quick score — this conversation will give you a more grounded way to think about deals, marketing, and wealth.
