Jim Oliver went from being a poor homeless kid, to becoming a wealthy successful business owner. Two keys to his success and wealth stemmed from Real Estate and Infinite Banking.

Jim first learned about infinite banking from R Nelson Nash, who wrote a book called "Becoming Your Own Banker." Jim was amazed as he learned how to better maximize cash flow while simultaneously owning appreciating assets.

Jim Oliver has used the principles of Infinite Banking to create more cash flow and invest in more real estate. This has generated him an abundance of money over the years to grow more businesses. Jim wrote a book called "Make Bank Without The Bank" where he explains infinite banking and how to use it as a great investment strategy for real estate to generate wealth.

Join Brett and Jim as they explain what Infinite Banking is, how Infinite Banking works, and how you can use it to build your real estate business.

How do local Indianapolis Real Estate Investors compete in an increasingly competitive market? The Home Value growth in Indianapolis is 42% since 2020. The Median home price in 2020 was$170,000, but it has increased to $240,000. 2%-4% mortgage rates have risen to 8%.

Many people are leaving bigger cities for more affordable living in Indiana. Large Out-of-State corporate investors are swooping in to grab up single-family homes and apartments. Competition for finding good real estate deals is increasingly hard to come by. It's like a gold rush in Indiana.

But there is hope for success in Indy for wholesalers and other local investors. Partly, it does take a bit of extra work digging twice as hard as we've been used to. Some of us have gotten lazy, taking the easy deals for granted. But there are deals out there.

Local investors and wholesalers have a lot of advantages compared to out-of-state buyers. Many out of state buyers have been developing bad reputations. This is where local investors with consistent track records and face to face encounters goes a long way.

Out of State buyers may be able to offer more money, and sometimes that's what it comes down to. But local buyers can offer trust, as many sellers are getting burned by corporate conglomerates. And many out of state investors are coming for 6-12 months and then packing up and leaving. For those local buyers sticking around, consistency builds your credibility.

It's not about making big adjustments for buyers right now. It's about make small ones. Maybe you can safely buy at a little higher ARV percentage than you used to be able. Maybe you need to attend more Meet-Ups and other events to make a few extra connections that get you that deal. Maybe you just need to have your ducks lined up better for financing to be a little bit quicker to get the deal when available, so you can close faster. Maybe it's exploring new areas that will be the next Fountain Square. Maybe doing delayed flips and continuing to rent for a few years is a successful recipe as properties appreciate.

The moral of the story is, those investors who are in the Indianapolis area for the long-term are the ones who will eventually win out in the end. In the mean time, listen to Brett & Ronnie discuss some tips and tactics that could help you in your short game at this season of the real estate market.

This episode is not about politics. This is merely a review over how new policies could affect real estate investors.

This episode goes over the potential pros & cons that real estate investors could potentially see with this new administration.

Brett Snodgrass delves into thoughts on inflation, interest rates, opportunity zones, infrastructure, taxes and more. Listen to see how it could effect investors and how Indy specifically could be impacted.

Real Estate Investors want to know how to do well in 2025. The competition is fierce. Things that used to work with ease don't necessarily work anymore. Pivoting is essential to revamp and adjust strategies to stay in the game and succeed.

So what changes need to be made to get more deals? What strategies have to change to get better deals? How should you market in 2025? Marketing Guru, Bryan Driscoll, of Motivated Leads is here to help answer these questions. Simple Quarters uses Bryan and Motivated Leads to help with our marketing needs. Brian is very wise in helping clients figure out what strategy is best for them.

Not all marketing strategies are one-size-fits-all. Bryan will tell you that it's important to ask certain questions to figure out the best personally tailored strategy for where your business is currently at, and then set the right plans in action to grow and adjust.

But because there is always so much saturation in the real estate advertising space, strategy is very important. Implementing the right strategies can help do more deals or better deals. It's good to think smarter to have good success and to be able to close better with clients.

Listen to Bryan share marketing strategies for 2025, and hear about his new book, The Goodness Game. Brian has a great heart in wanting to help serve people and pay it forward.
