In real estate, your business structure is really important. A lot of people have their entities set up wrong. It’s critical to get things right as soon as possible, especially if you are a beginner. Tommy from Prime Corporation Services joins me here to talk about the importance of setting up the right entities, like LLC, S-Corp, etc. I’ve done business with PCS for a long time and I highly trust and recommend them to all my students.

Tommy is an expert in the industry and knows exactly what you need to get set up correctly. Even if you already have an LLC, you’ll want to pay attention to what we cover here. There’s a chance you don’t have the right privacy protections in place. Once you start doing deals and things flip from a hobby to the real deal, you’ll be glad you got your ducks in a row.

Here, I’m sharing two stories to hopefully get you pumped up and excited about your own real estate business. Two guys within my community are doing deals and experiencing big wins, all because they’re taking massive, consistent action. They’ve set up their marketing machine, and they’ve stuck with things long enough to start making some serious money. 

If you’ve been down on yourself and feel like you’re ready to quit, listen to this episode and don’t give up. Don't get discouraged, and you will start finding success. It's a numbers game, right? All the guys who do a lot of deals have one thing in common. They stick to the basics, they do a lot of it, and they do it over and over again. They're what I like to call brilliant at the basics. They keep it simple, easy-peasy.

Haters, you gotta love them, right? My daughter recently Googled me and found at the top of the results, “Joe McCall is a scam.” Now, it bothers me. I'm a little emotional about it, right? Some chuckle had complained about something that he bought and about how it was just all wrong and jacked up. He had some legitimate complaints that we fixed. A long time ago, even before he made the complaint, I refunded his money, and he still felt the need to go on a long internet rant.

If people don't hate you, then you're probably being too mediocre. When you start putting yourself out there, you're going to find haters, whether you're in the education business or not, or whether you're doing deals. I always say that if you haven’t made somebody mad by 12:00, then you're not marketing hard enough. You just have to have thick skin and be cool with it.

Today we're going to be talking about probate leads. If you don’t know what they are, these leads could be the most valuable leads that you could find in your real estate investing business. These are leads where somebody passed away and they own some real estate, whether it's vacant land, houses, commercial properties, or whatever, that needs to be sold. These properties typically require a ton of work and the family just doesn’t want to deal with it. That’s where you come in.

If you can get these leads, you can print money almost if you do it right. My guest Micah Nicholes is a rockstar when it comes to probate leads and here he shares everything you need to know. There are a lot of stories of stupid things that people have done with these leads, and there's a right and wrong way to approach them. Micah’s giving away a ton of valuable resources to help you with probate leads, including letter and direct mail templates and his marketing swipe file. Head to JoeMcCall.com/Probate for more info.

How many of you have ever come across an exciting deal, but then you turn around and you have no idea where the money is going to come from? You have no idea how you're going to close on the deal or how you’re going to flip it. The clock is ticking as your closing date approaches and you don't have the funds to close the deal. You're hoping you can find somebody to assign the deal to or to maybe double close. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had dug your well before you're thirsty and you already had access to private money? 

With private money, you could close on smokin’ hot deals immediately and never miss out. You can make a bunch more money because you can now list it without having a real estate license, because you actually own it. You don't have to worry about all the hassle and how it's illegal, immoral, and fattening to close deals. My friend Bill Allen from 7 Figure Flipping knows all about doing deals this way. Here, he breaks everything down step by step. I also include his program for free in my Inner Circle program, which you can check out through the link below.

My friend Dustin Hoog joins me here to talk about what it’s like to be both a dad and a business owner. We get into some of the challenges, the things to watch out for, and how to maintain balance in a very busy lifestyle. First and foremost, it’s important to be a good dad. You could have an amazing business, but a horrible family life if your priorities are all mixed up. Dustin shares his story, and I think we can all learn a ton from his experiences. 

I was really intrigued and fascinated by Dustin’s angle on things, and he shares how he got into real estate and why. It’s so tempting to dive right into business first, but it takes up most of our time and can cause a lot of problems when you make it your number one. Dustin covers the six pillars every dad must master: faith, health, marriage, parenthood, brotherhood, and business. On the Balanced Business Dad Podcast, Dustin dives further into all these topics and much more. Check him out and connect with him through the links below.

What’s the number one rule in real estate? Well, it’s also the fastest path to cash. It’s not location, location, location. It’s making a ton of offers. I can’t emphasize the importance of this enough. If you want to make serious money in real estate, you have to learn how to make offers. That’s the number one skill you must master to close more deals and grow your business. If you haven’t made anyone mad by noon, you’re not making enough offers.

My new Offer Challenge starts next week and it’s the perfect way to boost your offer making skills. For 30 days, you’re going to make one offer per day. Within the first week, I’ll teach you how to talk to sellers and make offers without any fancy software.

You don’t need a real estate license to do deals, but it certainly does help. Things are a lot easier when you’re a realtor yourself, especially when it comes to connecting with other realtors. It helps get your foot in the door and helps boost your credibility. My friend David joins me here to talk about this whole topic. David’s an investor and a realtor in the St. Louis market and we’ve known each other for a long time. He shares all the details on how to do deals and make money. 

Right now, there are a lot of rules and laws being passed to prevent folks from doing wholesale deals without a license. Luckily, there are a couple of ways around that. Number one, just go ahead and get your license, no big deal. Number two, just buy the property and work with realtors who can then help you buy and sell your deals. I love working with realtors, and I think it's a great way to get started in the business.
