Property Rush

Thomas DeMoss has NEVER lost money on a real estate deal in two decades. In this episode, he discusses how he was able to pull that off and the trade-off that comes with that. Thomas was gracious enough to come on our show a second time because the sound quality was...bad to put it nicely. He has an incredible life story including adopting his amazing kids and finding ways to spend time with them and teach them important life lessons. He has some great advice on teaching his kids about investing including setting up investment accounts and helping them to choose stocks and mutual funds. Thomas is an old soul. He is always playing the long game in life and is not one to cut corners. He and his wife have accumulated a great portfolio of properties in the TN & GA markets and he discusses his strategy around wealth creation. So much to unpack in this episode!

Matt Hayes has seen the entire spectrum of business. The ups and downs. And one thing that he took away from the recent downturn in 2022 when rates skyrocketed and lending dried up and he was stuck holding 42 properties that he couldn't sell all of a sudden was this quote from Connor McGregor: "I don't eat with people that I wouldn't starve with."In other words...When times get tough and everyone is bailing on you because the easy money is no longer available...That is when you learn who your true friends are. That is when someone's true character is revealed... Not when times are great, but when you are faced with a famine.Matt went from having millions of dollars in overhead with a bloated business that was running inefficiently to now managing an efficient and lean business acquiring and running AIRBNBs with his wife and teaching others how they can do the same thing through his coaching program at AIRBNBEAST. Matt has learned to surround himself with smart people in masterminds and mentors to expedite his learning curve and help him achieve his ambitious goals. He is in a competition every day with himself and is striving constantly to improve. I cannot wait for you to listen to this podcast. It is FULL of life lessons and golden nuggets.If you are interested in learning how to acquire and scale your Airbnb's the right way, check out these links below:

Pat Martin did not take the typical entrepreneur real estate journey...Far from it actually. Pat went to college in Michigan and married his wife at the young age of 19! He and his wife had their first child about 18 months after marrying and then get this...They had 5 KIDS under the age of 4 because their 4th and 5th were twins! If that was not impressive enough, Pat graduated from college after studying engineering and finance while his wife started her online business that took off and Pat was a stay-at-home dad holding down the fort. Pat during this time learned about real estate and eventually decided to move to Knoxville (along with his sister-in-law whom they convinced to come along with them) and he started buying homes with his dad and brother at the auction wholesale. Over the years Pat pivoted to buying homes directly from sellers and has since exploded his business and has gone into multiple markets. He shares some incredible stories both the good and bad and the lessons learned through all of it. He has an incredible story and I am fortunate to be living just down the road from their office now.

Adrienne has a similar story to so many others who find themselves obsessed with real estate. She started off by "house hacking" their home by renting out the basement for additional income and after realizing how easy that was, decided to go out and try it again. Well since that first experience in Virginia renting out their basement, they have since moved to Chattanooga, TN where they now have a real estate team called the Auburndale Group where they focus and specialize in helping investors nationwide locate and acquire great income properties. In addition to this, Adrienne has a coaching business, her husband has a virtual assistant company where they help busy professionals with their accounting/bookkeeping/and miscellaneous business tasks. They do all this while also investing in AIRBNB's and long-term rentals. One huge piece of advice that she would give to anyone starting out in business or real estate is to make sure you set your standards early on so that decision-making becomes so much easier for both you and those you surround yourself with.

Adam West with Umortgage joined us today on the podcast and YES...We talked about the topic on everybody's mind "when or if rates will come back." Spoiler alert...He does not have a crystal ball. But he DOES have some incredible advice regarding what you should do with locking in a mortgage in today's chaotic world. Adam is incredible at what he does. If you need a loan and you do not fall within the parameters of a "normal" W2 job with a stable income, he is your guy. Adam lives in Utah but is licensed thankfully in multiple States including Tennessee & Georgia (wink wink). He has been married to his wife now for almost ten years and they have two incredible kids. If you are interested in talking to Adam about getting qualified for a loan to purchase a home in the near future you can reach him at [email protected] or click on this link! https://umortgage.my1003app.com/1790355/register

We left behind everything we knew in Arizona to pursue our dream of building the Amazon BUY NOW button for real estate investing. If you are wondering what it is exactly that we are building out here that is the way I can describe it. On this episode I give the vision for what we are building. We wil make it possible for ANYONE to place their money in the greatest investment in the world. REAL ESTATE.

On Realpower House we believe in adjusting to life changes as a part of the journey to success. Recently, the Gremillion family made the decision to pack up their family, leave behind everything they knew, and move across country from Arizona to Knoxville, Tennessee, allowing for the Property Rush business to grow. Listen to the good, the bad, and the ugly of their journey to this brand new chapter.

Josh & Becca Hadley are a POWERHOUSE couple that learned early on to take their God-given skills and lean into one another's strengths to create a WILDLY successful Amazon business.

Marck has an incredible story of being able to overcome incredible hardships in business. From a hostile takeover in 2008 to dealing with major market corrections, Marck has an incredible business acumen and drive to make adjustments in the face of adversity.

We talk about his journey from being FORCED out of a partnership at the beginning of the 2008 crash to then building a turnkey business that has purchased almost 2,000 single-family properties since that time. We discussed the ups and downs of owning a turnkey operation and the incredible opportunities that present themselves in downtimes or recessions.

Marck is a great friend and mentor of mine that packs so much wisdom and experience into every conversation that I have with him. If you are looking to invest in real estate in the Midwest markets,
