Tarl Yarber is a real estate mogul who's flipped over 650 houses and built a thriving events business from the ground up!

But this isn't your typical "I got rich quick" story. He even quit real estate THREE TIMES before finally cracking the code.

Tarl's journey is one of overcoming adversity, learning from HUGE mistakes (like racking up $14,000 in credit card debt chasing his real estate dreams!), and building a business that supports the life he wants to live.

In this episode, Tarl shares his story, from his early days door-knocking in a moldy car, how he survived the "dip," the power of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why designing your life first is the key to building a business you love. 

Tarl also talks about:
- Turning $10 into... well, NOT $10,000 in 30 days (wholesaling is HARDER than it looks!)
- The ONE book that completely shifted his mindset at age 17
- Why he dropped out of college to pursue real estate full-time
- Building a $3 Million/month REO business from scratch
- The pivotal moment he realized he was building a business he “hated”
- How he and his wife Grace designed their dream life and built a business to support it
- Why he believes you should “HATE” real estate if you want to be successful at it
- The power of saying NO to opportunities that don't align with your goals

Books Mentioned:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss
- The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande

Welby Accely may be a real estate investor with an enviable rental property portfolio and a flashy car... But his journey to wealth wasn’t a cake walk. Not by a long shot. 

In fact, Welby started life in government housing in Brooklyn… and found himself financially “wiped out” three times before experiencing the epiphany that made him a fortune flipping and holding real estate. 

Today, you’ll hear it all. It’s a story about taking extreme ownership, refusing to quit, and earning the right to demand respect as “the most important person in any deal”: the buyer.

Welby also talks about:
- Growing up in the Canarsie projects and dreaming of being rich someday
- His brother’s incarceration and death, and how he turned them into motivation
- The investing lesson that didn’t sink in until he’d gone broke for a third time 
- Commanding a room and demanding respect from tenants and vendors
- Why landlords are “superheroes”, not villains
- Why he says the BRRRR strategy is “extremely dangerous” 
- How to BRRRR without getting burned
- Funneling flip profits into rentals
- Sharing his losses on social media
- Why he warns against long-distance investing

Books Mentioned:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

Ever heard the expression “what got you here won’t get you there”?

It’s especially true for real estate investors today. Instead of finding great deals – or getting bailed out thanks to rising values – you’ve got to make great deals and unlock hidden value.

So we brought in BiggerPockets Podcast host David Greene for a game of “How Do I…”, where he and Brandon break down 6 different real estate investing strategies, and how to execute each one – today – without putting yourself at risk of financial ruin.

Recorded in front of a live audience at the BetterLife REI Summit last month, this episode covers:
- Does traditional 20% down rental property investing still work in 2024?
- How to “make” the deal rather than finding it 
- Two things you must do to successfully BRRR in today’s market
- Why this is actually a great market for flipping houses
- Is it a good time to wholesale?
- How House hacking is up to 7X more efficient than buying rentals
- The risks of commercial real estate investing in this environment
- A super-detailed breakdown of cap rates and commercial vs. residential financing

Books Mentioned:
- Traction by Gino Wickman
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert R. Kiyosaki
