This Week’s Episode:
Brad Smotherman joins me on this episode of Just Start Real Estate. Brad is a wholesaler, rehabber and land developer in the state of Tennessee. He has been in real estate since the age of 18. In 2010, Brad retired his real estate license and began doing investments full-time. He is now working toward tract-land development.
Brad shares a lot of information in this discussion, and I think you’re going to appreciate what he brings. You’re going to hear him let us peek into his business by sharing details on his tools for lead generation and the results that come from those strategies. He also talks about the team that he has formed around him and his business and the roles that they play.
Tract-land development is not something I know a lot about and Brad explains why this type of opportunity appeals to him. He explains how the negotiations for these deals work, how to locate land for this type of development, and how to price the land and lots. Again, Brad shares a lot of insight and good, actionable advice.

This Week’s Episode:
Mike Cowper joins me again on the podcast. We came together to share more about our company. We’d like to do a “State of the Company” and share with you some things that we are currently doing to facilitate growth with our company.
In our last conversation on the podcast, we talked about some employee turnover that we recently experienced. We shared how we handle hiring with the business. In this episode we talk more about the massive turnover and talk about how these changes were necessary and have helped us maneuver a culture shift.
The big news, and the main part of our discussion in this episode, is the idea of having an office space for the company. Yes, there are pros and cons to having a physical location, and we share some of our thoughts on this topic. We feel that a physical location really can help us with things like building a company culture and hiring.

This Week’s Episode:
I am joined by Dustin Bowling on this episode of Just Start Real Estate. Dustin is flipping about 10 houses a year in the Covington, Indiana area. Dustin is an aggressive growing investor that I think will be a superstar in the next few years.
In this conversation, you will hear about the incredible things that Dustin is accomplishing in his area. What’s fascinating is that he’s doing these things without systems. Just imagine what he’ll be able to do when he implements systems.
Dustin has a background in law enforcement and is now doing real estate full time. Being in a small-town, he shares how real estate in these types of communities varies from real estate in more populated areas. He explains the value of character and integrity in areas like this.

This week, I’m joined by my business partner, Mike Cowper. These episodes with Mike are great because we share what’s going on with our business and we provide you with actionable items for your business.
In this conversation, you will hear Mike and I talk about a recent incident. We had one of our employees leave and we needed to rebound and recover from this situation. While we weren’t completely satisfied with this person, we weren’t exactly ready for them to leave. This person leaving put us in a bit of a bind and we explain how we dealt with that situation.
This leads us into a discussion on goals. Because we have goals and track our company’s numbers, we were able to identify that this individual was not producing up to our expectations. We talk about our goals and Mike briefly touches on 30-60-90 goals. We also explain why education is important in accomplishing goals.
