  • Dropping Out of College to Close $17 Million in Real Estate Transactions with Josh Janus

    FREE Hard Money Mastery Guide: http://bit.ly/3MkHZLs

    Your DoorDash driver may be the world's next real estate mogul. If you ever had Josh Janus drop off food at your house, you may have been in the middle of him getting a deal done. That's right; between picking up and delivering food, Josh was cold-calling sellers, sourcing as many off-market real estate deals as possible. This type of serial side hustling led Josh to acquire $1,500,000 in real estate at age twenty-two, making $50,000 per month and building a business most entrepreneurs could only dream of.

    Josh Janus left college as a computer science student to pursue real estate full time. At age 22, he has acquired $1,500,000 in real estate and completed $17 million in real estate transactions (125 transactions) in his first year as an agent.

    In this episode, Josh sheds light on his systems and processes to getting started as an investor and agent. In addition, he lays out his 5 streams of deal flow, which produces properties that meet the requirements to complete the BRRRR strategy with third party management.
