In this episode Rashauna and I interview Mr. Casanova Brooks a real estate agent and real estate investor out of the Omaha Nebraska market.

Hear how this brother survived state four lymphoma cancer and began to go after what he wanted in life relentlessly as opposed to just letting life come to him.

Hear how Mr. Brooks was able to become a top producing sales agent with every company he worked with. Hear how he used those same skills to do multiple high yielding real estate deals.

Key points from the show:

Dominate where you are and watch greater opportunities come to you

If you allow yourself time to wallow in your circumstances the world is going to pass you by

Everybody can tell you how to do it, they’ve never done it

He that owns the land makes the rules

Lead with service

Negotiate your deal while in the due diligence process – Ask for a price reduction

Paid 18k first deal, put in 6k rehab, refinanced it to get his cash out. Mortgage payment was $297 and rents for $945. Valued at $65k without using any of his own money. $41k in equity, cash flowing $600 a month. Presently valued at $95k after four years.

Fall in love with the deal not the property.

Ready fire aim

The longer you wait and analyze everything the more you talk yourself out of it

Leave the equity in your property

Private lenders love working with real estate agents

Out working with buyers and know what they like so you can bring that product to market

Realtors know what product is sitting on the market less than two weeks

We lose out on the opportunity cost of avoiding the risk than we do through failure

After you make it don’t get stingy

I’ve never met anybody that said they want to go back and work for somebody else after they started working for themselves.

Don’t pitch off one deal, pitch on the long term
