Joe McCall has flipped over 100 deals and helped his students flip 100's more. He started his podcast back in 2011 to help investors become masters in their craft. On today's episode, Joe shares what investors should be focusing on as we go through this pandemic. There's a lot going on, but it's important to control what you can control. Dig deep into your network and start making connections. There is a lot of opportunity out there in this uncertain time.

Key Takeaways:

• Connect with Alex on social media! He has a ton of content for you!
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • YouTube
  • LinkedIn
• Alex almost didn't launch his show because he was afraid that the time for real estate investing podcasts was over in 2016. Joe also thought the same thing in 2011!
• The internal stories you tell yourself can (and will) shape your future.
• Joe has completely unplugged from the news. Why worry about something you can't control?
• The fear sells! That's why the news is going crazy.
• Sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and take action! Don't act out of fear, but from a place of Faith!
• Even if you're not religious, read the Gospel of John. Some powerful lessons there.
• Joe has been getting the news from his other friends who have boots on the group and are having deals fall through.
• The worst mistake people can make right now is quit their mastermind or group coaching programs that they're in.
• Joe's family is looking to him for leadership and it hasn't always been easy.
• It's important to create instead of consume when you're locked in quarantine.
• You have to be a leader for your kids right now. Stand up and be strong for them.
• It's easy to fall into the trap that our sellers are our customers. Not the case. Our buyers are our true customers.
• Focus on Buyers! We have shifted from a sellers market to a buyers market.
• Look at who's buying properties in the last 30 days.
• Call your realtors! See what they have to say.
• Tip: Call your network and ask them two questions: Do you have a house you're looking to sell? And, Are you looking to buy a house right now? Chances are you know someone who will answer at least yes to one of those questions! Connect the two and, boom, you've already made your commission.
• By having relationships with your buyers, Joe went from 3-4 deals a month to 3-4 deals a week.
• If you're a realtor, think about becoming a tenant leasing agent for investors. Joe believes this is a big opportunity!
• Bandit Signs still work really well (for buyers).
• Be proactive in your sales training. Always sharpen that axe because you will need it. Sales is the million dollar skill.
• You need to know how to close deals over the phone, especially now.
• Tip: Send offers in the mail!

It's time to adapt to this new market. We are in a buyer's market, which means new deals are easier to acquire, but that also means they're harder to sell.

Key Takeaways:

• It's been a month since the pandemic flipped our world around, and we need to adapt accordingly.
• Protect your brain from negativity. Make sure you're in the right inner circle to boost you up.
• Alex and his team had their quarterly meeting and they discussed shifting their business model.
• Alex's company created a private Facebook group for active South Florida investors.
• Think about where you can strategically add value and enhance other people's lives.
• Now is the perfect time to develop joint ventures!

• Don't be stuck to the typical ways of doing deals.
• You might be in quarantine, but just stay positive and keep moving forward!
• Find the right community that is going to uplift you.

Rob Swanson is a returning guest from episodes 14 and 92, and he's back to bring the heat! Rob has been through several market downturns and understands market trends very well. He was able to see the writing on the wall before the 2008 housing crash and was able to adjust his portfolio, and profit from it! Today, he shares his insights on what we can expect during this pandemic and how new and seasoned investors can navigate these murky waters.

Key Takeaways:

• Rob saw the writing on the wall when the 2008 housing crash hit.
• What did Rob see back then that made him want to get out of the real estate market temporarily (or at least make smarter financial moves)?
• Rob started seeing prices flattening out.
• How can someone track inventory levels?
• What was Rob's $30-million mistake?
• Rob believes he should have just bought more property and sat on it while the marketing was correcting.
• How can people tell if we're in a boom/bust market vs. a pricing stable market?
• If someone doesn't have any experience in the real estate market, is now the right time to start?
• Get in the industry and learn. Be a sponge.
• Always ask yourself, 'How do I make money with this deal?' If you answer that question, you will be successful.
• You either buy for short term/quick flip gains or you buy for long-term cash flow gains.
• Rob developed a long-term investment strategy because he saw what happened during the last three housing market crashes. Rents on single-family homes always went up!
• Every single market right now is propped up with debt. From the housing to student loans, to oil, etc. Everything is with debt! Much more than we saw in 2008.
• What should people be focusing on currently if they're in a boom/bust market?
• What should people focus on if they're in a stable pricing market?
• How can real estate investors take advantage of Rob's program, Freedomsoft?
• Never forget… Cash Flow is king!

Ryan "Rotty" Garcilazo has been a rehabber for the last 15 years and has a construction consulting business to help seasoned investors better understand the rehabbing side of the business. So many investors get burned by bad contractors because they don't know what they're doing. Before you step foot into the rehab game, get educated! Ryan shares what you need to look out for in this week's episode.

Key Takeaways:

• How did Ryan first get started in real estate?
• What did Ryan wish he knew about sooner when he started rehabbing?
• What mistakes do investors make when trying to get into construction?
• There are three pillars to the game: real estate, investing, and construction.
• You always have to self-educate yourself about the business side of things while running your own business.
• At the end of the day, you're running a business!
• How does Ryan find the right, reliable contractors?
• You can't hire contractors if you don't know what you're trying to hire for.
• You have to learn the industry because if you don't know what your general contractor is supposed to be doing, how much and how long it could take, you don't know if you've got a good guy or not until it's too late.
• Before you hire anybody, understand what they do.
• How can you keep your contractor fed enough so that they don't go elsewhere?
• It's about having honest conversations with the contractor, but you can't do that if you don't know what you're talking about.
• Construction is going to hurt for a while right now. If you have a contractor you like, have an open conversation with them about the uncertain future.
• Ryan shares his thoughts on how to future-proof yourself during the coronavirus pandemic.
• Materials are going to go up in price --- Ryan outlines what you should do!
• How should investors be looking at acquisitions?

With everything that's happening right now, Alex shares some of his tips on what to do next while we head into the unknown. It's time to get your disposition side really strong because we are quickly transitioning into a buyer's market! Communicate with your existing buyer's to find out what they want, and go build new relationships!

Key Takeaways:

• This is a time to be a leader.
• We are quickly changing from a seller's market to a buyer's market.
• Have important conversations with your buyers on what they want and what they're looking for.
• Get specific information so you can start looking for those deals and honing in (i.e. Reverse Wholesaling).
• Anytime you see a 'we buy houses' bandit sign, call that person.
• Pull all the cash transactions that have been happening in your area for the last six months and skip trace them.
• Contact real estate agents.
• Get inventory off your books. Speed is the name of the game… "A quick nickel is better than a slow dime" - Steve Cook.
