Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Our guest for this week’s show is commercial real estate broker and investor, Eric Odum. Eric and I actually met as he was an avid listener of our show and is also a fellow Tampa Resident. I thought it was very fitting to have Eric on the show as I received numerous emails from you guys asking about the relationship between the broker and investor and how to foster and grow them so that they help grow your RE investing business.

Eric is the founder and principal of ROI Commercial Property Brokerage which is a full service firm that specializes in investment property brokerage and sales in the greater Tampa Bay market.

In this interview with Eric you’re going to learn:

§ The process of establishing a relationship with a credible broker within your niche

§ Why learning to speak the lingo is a critical first step

§ The importance of knowing exactly what you're looking for and articulating that to the broker

§ The secret test which brokers will give you and what they expect

§ How to make it on their "off-market" VIP database

§ The multiple benefits that a good RE broker can bring to your business

This week's show I'm going to cover an awesome story I ran across over the past week which I thought had a ton of relevance to our normal topic of real estate investing and also will provide a compilation of 20 successful habits from two very popular billionaires which I'm sure you'll recognize - Oprah Winfrey and Enver Yucel

Basically, a guy named Paul Brunson worked directly for both Oprah and Enver collectively for 6 years and these 20 success habits are derived from his intimate observations with both billionaires. Enver and Oprah are two extraordinary people and I'm sure you'll find this topic as inspirational and inspiring as I did.
