Takeaways
Building relationships with the right senior living stakeholders help in solving their business problems. Be collaborative and help people in the right way and not lead them as an investor.
In offering solutions to sellers, ask by asking questions that lead to your answers. Let them know you have solved their problems.
Sustainability in business is about building relationships. Building the right relationships can build something that comes to you.
In dealing with people, don’t be transactional. Show empathy and love in your heart, that you’re there to help look and work for the solutions of their circumstances.
You have to find common ground to relate with someone.

Takeaways
Learn the business first and get a certain level of confidence before starting your own.
Making money is a skill set, and keeping it is a discipline. Live below means and have a plan of what to do with what you keep.
The best way to create a lot of passive income is to have a radical active income.
Placing all the money back into business can scale yourself out of profitability. You need to be at the point where the business is profitable, consistent, predictable, and reliable. Have the discipline in taking money and investing it into a different facet. Focus not only on building the business but also on building a balance sheet.
Invest not only with someone who has the money but also someone who is a decent human being.
Collective Genius and Mastermind is the perfect venue to learn new things, collaborate ideas, share innovations, and build partnerships. CG is a collaboration of people who have a constant relentless pursuit of excellence.
Present a plan instead of negotiating when asking someone to lend you money.
Learn the business not only in theory but also in practice and experience.
Vision, mission, and core values are essential to a team, a company, and an organization.
There aren’t any secrets, only excellent execution.
View failures as an opportunity to learn and to get better. Failure is a core ingredient of success. The only time real failure happens is when you quit.

Takeaways:
You need to push yourself to new limits and rise to adversity.

Be always involved with the business. Have a team that has core values and culture and not just skills.
Put constraints on the business and be solely focus on one thing at a time. Take time to focus on growth and not only on the grind.
Never make offers. It’s all about qualifying properties, creating solutions, and solve people’s problems.

Takeaways
Partner with an experienced real estate investor. A partner that will help you to learn and earn especially when starting up. Invest with a partner who is good with numbers (metrics and KPIs). Surround yourself with the best of the best.
Find a niche or angle that you can be the best of and be creative. Everything is possible if you hustle in wholesale. Be consistent and keep doing what needs to be done even in times of uncertainty.
Be prepared with multiple plans and provide options to sellers. But no too much. Don’t be an info junkie because a confused mind says no.
Don’t get hypnotized by other people’s version of success. Run your race and inspire others.

$1.4MM in Fees From Just PPC. Cody Hofhine & Brandon Bateman Share How to Add Digital Marketing
With Brandon Bateman, the Bateman Collective; and Cody Hofhine, Utah Sell Now
February 17, 2021
Listen to this episode on YouTube at https://youtu.be/1rwvVZgH_90.
About Brandon Bateman and Cody Hofhine
Brandon Bateman started a digital marketing company as a sophomore in college and never looked back. After volunteering to do digital marketing for companies, he started the Bateman Collective and is now the premiere digital marketing company for wholesalers across the country. Bateman Collective handles all digital marketing, from SEO to PPC to Facebook and Instagram ads, as well as designing and creating content for those platforms.

Cody Hofhine started wholesaling in 2015 and has built his company into one of the largest real estate investment companies in Utah. He is now expanding into Dallas, TX and San Bernadino, CA. Cody fully embraced digital marketing through the Bateman Collective after some less-than-stellar experiences with other digital marketers.
Connect with Brandon at [email protected] and Cody on Instagram at @codyhofhine or Facebook at codyhofhine.
Show Notes
Brandon and Cody discuss how proper digital marketing boosted Cody’s wholesaling business to new heights, generating $1.4 million in 2020. They discuss what works and what doesn’t, and what a real estate investor should look for when hiring a digital marketing company.
Top 5 Takeaways from Brandon and Cody:
5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important, but it is a long-term strategy. The leads you get will be high quality, but don’t count on getting those leads for 10-12 months.
4. Don’t waste time trying to do SEO yourself. If you crunch the numbers, it’s not worth your time to build your SEO. Hire someone to do it for you.
3. Facebook and Instagram produce very good leads, but they may not be “right now” leads.
2. Pay Per Click (PPC) produces the highest quality and hottest leads.
1. Get the PEND (Probate, Evictions, Notice of Default, and Divorce) list from your local title company, courthouse, or local attorney. It’s gold and is updated daily in some locations.
Bonus Takeaway: When you get a PPC lead, get on it fast! If you can’t get them on the phone, drive to their house. These are hot, ready to sell leads.

Travel the World Making $20k/mo Passively – JR Piper Shares What He Does with his 7 Figure Business
With Jared “JR” Piper, Fair Cash Offer
February 10, 2021
About JR Piper
JR Piper fell into real estate because some real estate investor friends of his needed someone whom they trusted to manage some of their properties. And he loved it.
Spending his time studying for his real estate license, JR worked his job by night, managed properties by day, and learned a ton. A few years later he began buying rental properties, using wholesaling and fix and flips to create cash to buy his rentals.
Now JR has rental properties that passively produce $20,000 a month. He travels the world, returns to Phoenix to work his business, then takes off to another international destination.
Connect with JR on Instagram at @jpiper84 or Facebook at jpiper84.
Show Notes
JR explains to Steve how his business produces passive income so he can travel the world. He also explains how he uses wholesaling and fix and flips to fund his rental property acquisitions for his portfolio.
Top 5 Takeaways from JR:
5. Rental properties provide passive income that can allow you to do other things.
4. Use wholesaling and fix and flip strategies to fund buying good rental properties.
3. Good rental properties, if held at the right loan-to-value ratio, can be a great hedge against any downturn in the market.
2. Direct mail is still one of the most highly effective marketing methods that produce high quality leads.
1. Don’t spend all your time working your business. Once you’re making money, enjoy it!
Bonus Takeaway: You can run your business from anywhere in the world if you set it up properly. You can even take time off, let your business sit, and start it back up when you return.

$100,000+ /mo Working 5 hrs/wk. Terry Thayer on How He Went From Contractor to Real Estate Empire
With Terry Thayer, TAB
February 3, 2021
About Terry Thayer
Terry Thayer is a recovered general contractor who used to burn the candle until it was a molten puddle of wax. He managed crews of carpenters, drywallers, plumbers, etc. and had to take up any slack they left behind. Until one time at a seminar he attended opened his eyes to the world of systems.
Terry promptly went home, fired his crews, and spent the next few months building a real estate business based heavily on systems. What he couldn’t find from someone else, he put his head down and figured out himself. Now he manages his business from afar, with a heavy emphasis on training and practicing for his employees. Even his hiring process is highly automated and systematized, reducing his time to hire a new employee to two hours.
Terry also created the TAB (The Absolute Best) Retreat, a networking and educational event for entrepreneurs looking to improve their businesses and their lives.
Connect with Terry on Instagram at @terrythayerii or Facebook at terrydthayerii. You can find more information on the TAB Retreat at www.tabretreat.com.
Show Notes
Terry shares his history with Steve about how he went from working 70-80 hour weeks to just 5 hours, and most of that is training with his employees. He explains his epiphany and development of systems which permit him to make six figures a month while only working less than a standard work day.
Top 5 Takeaways from Terry:
5. Life is too short to do everything yourself.
4. One of the best ways to find properties for sale is to ask neighbors in the area where you have a house. Often they can point you to a homeowner who may want to sell.
3. It’s OK to take a day off. You’re not weak if you do that, but have your systems in place so that your business can run with you not there. If you’re a one person shop, your systems will allow you to pick up right where you left off without having to figure out what the status is.
2. If you think you can’t afford a coach, you can’t afford to NOT have a coach. Getting a good coach will make you multiple times the money you spend on one.
1. Find good systems and plug them into your business. If you can’t find a system, put your head down and create it. Running your business with systems will make life much easier, require you to do less work, and your business much more profitable.
Bonus Takeaway: It is never too early to implement systems into your business. Even if you’re a one person shop, putting systems in place will drastically reduce wasted time and set you up for future benefits when you do hire.

Alex Moses & Brian Higgins on How They Did 350+ BRRRRs, Own 160+ Rentals, and Earned $1MM Tax Free.
With Alex Moses and Brian Higgins, BLH Properties LLC
January 27, 2021
About Alex Moses and Brian Higgins
Alex Moses tried college and found it wasn’t for him. Which turned out to be a good thing, because otherwise he never would have met Brian.
Brian Higgins was an insurance agent who didn’t like where his career path was headed. So he sold his insurance agency and decided to become a real estate investor, even though he didn’t know much about it at the time.
Alex and Brian met while taking a crash course to get their realtor’s license. After Alex sold several of his uncle’s properties to Brian, they started working with out of state investors and eventually teamed up to buy over 160 BRRRR properties in just a few years. Along the way they managed to make $1 million dollars tax-free, and plan to keep the same formula moving forward but with more organization and gusto.
Connect with Alex by email at [email protected], on Instagram at @alexmoses_realestate or Facebook at Moses15. Connect with Brian by email at [email protected] or on Facebook at brian.higgins.904.
Show Notes
Alex and Brian discuss how they use the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build their portfolio as well as securing properties for their out-of-state investors. They also cover how they raised and paid back over $12 million in private investor money, and give you tips for working with banks for financing.
Top 5 Takeaways from Alex and Brian:
5. The BRRRR strategy is a great way to attract investors as well as build your own real estate portfolio for generational wealth.
4. Don’t be afraid to shop banks for the best financing arrangements. Banks vary quite a bit in their products, and you can always ask for more or exceptions to their normal terms.
3. If a deal is a good deal for an investor, it’s a good deal for you. Close on every good deal you find.
2. You might be surprised how many people are looking to invest in real estate. But you’ll never know until you ask them. Set up some Zoom seminars and talk to people.
1. Always, always keep your word. Scramble to find a way to close a deal if you have to, even if that means borrowing money to make it happen. Building that stellar reputation will benefit you immensely down the road.
Bonus Takeaway: If you’re up front and communicate with your investors, you can get lots of private money as long as you pay them well. Don’t be greedy; if you take care of your investors, they will enable you to make a lot of money.

Tiffany and Josh High Share How They Leveraged Their KPIs to Earn $200,000+ per Month

About Tiffany and Josh High
Tiffany High is a recovered corporate employee who quit her job cold turkey to start investing in real estate when her brother was ill with cancer. She learned on the fly, taking six months to secure her first deal and was about two weeks away from giving up when she started having success.
Josh High worked in construction for years and quit his job once they had their real estate investment company off the ground. Josh brings his construction background to the company’s fix and flip side of their business.
Tiffany and Josh both wholesale and fix and flip. They unusually started with fix and flips, primarily due to Josh’s construction knowledge but also because they were figuring things out on the fly. As they grew, they sought help learning how to organize and manage their business and now run a lean company with great employee bonus plans to encourage retention.

Show Notes
Tiffany and Josh describe to Steve how they use their KPIs to manage their business daily and keep their company lean and growing. They discuss the four fundamentals they use in their business, employee bonus structure for motivation and referrals, and how defined roles put them on the path to success.
Top 5 Takeaways from Tiffany and Josh:
5. Define your roles and stay in your lanes. This is especially important for couples. You will find things get done and there will be less quarreling.
4. Spend some time discovering and writing down your core values. Then make them an integral part of your business processes.
3. Never hire someone who doesn’t mesh with your core values, no matter their experiences. If they don’t fit, they don’t get the job. No exceptions. Violating this rule will only result in problems later on.
2. Don’t chase the shiny objects. Social media is full of lots of noise, of people telling you what you should chase — stay true to yourself and your business goals. You can look to expand into something, but don’t abandon your business to grab the brass ring.
1. Use your KPIs daily to monitor your company’s performance and catch any negative trends or targets not being reached. This also helps you keep your sales team on track and help them meet their targets.
Bonus Takeaway: You can maximize your revenue and profits by paying attention to your KPIs daily. Why daily? Because you see negative trends develop before they impact your business. If you only look at the end of the month, you may have four weeks of low sales because someone wasn’t doing their job. If you see a problem in a day or two, you can correct the issue before it wastes your time and impacts your wallet.

Michael Fitzgerald Shares How He Went From Bandit Signs to 100s of Doors and Running a Fund
With Michael Fitzgerald, Gideon Properties
January 6, 2021
About Michael Fitzgerald
Michael Fitzgerald planned on importing products from China and selling them in the United States. After his first deal, and a chance meeting, he switched to real estate and has since built a multi-faceted empire.
Michael had no money to invest in real estate, so he had to be creative. His first several deals were all different types: Subject To, wholesale, even developing farmland with $0 down. Along the way, he has become friends with people all around the world. Currently Michael is involved in city-state partnerships where he actually gets the government to help finance his projects!
Michael’s story is as unique as it is inspirational. He proves that you don’t need money to build a real estate business. You just need to get going. Connect with Michael on Instagram or Facebook.
Show Notes
Steve asks Michael how he got started in real estate, and they explore many concepts for how people can start. One of Michael’s emphasis is that you don’t need to know how to do everything, or have any money. Just start and learn along the way.
Top 5 Takeaways from Michael:
5. Review every potential deal. You don’t need to know how to do a deal to get started. Figure it out, learn what you need to learn, and keep moving forward.
4. Take care of the people you work with. Honesty and commitment, along with fulfilling your obligations even if you could get out of them, will benefit you in the long run.
3. Never stop marketing. Too many people market, get some business, then stop marketing while they work on those deals. Once those deals are done, they have nothing in the pipeline because they stopped marketing.
2. If something bad happens, don’t let that stop you from doing more deals. New deals can pay for unexpected losses from a bad deal. If you stop, you have no way to cover the losses. So accept the problem, and do more deals to make up for it.
1. Networking makes life easier and more enjoyable. Networking shouldn’t be forcing yourself on others — just start up conversations with people everywhere you go.
Bonus Takeaway: Just start. You don’t need money, you don’t need to know everything, you just need to start and keep going until you get some deals. If you take consistent action, you will succeed even if you fall down a few times along the way. If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.
