This episode is all about when should you start scaling some of your marketing and advertising budgets as an entrepreneur. This is something that Blake gets asked a lot when he has new agents that come in and they're super fired up. They're ready to get going. They want to do all of the things. They want to pull all the levers immediately.

Blake recommends to not don't jump  into spending money right away when there are plenty of free resources that you can utilize and levers that you guys can pull within your business to help you run lean before you decide to scale.

Key Topics:

• Watch what money is going out, and where
• Pay per click and advertising, paid traffic
• Fliers in neighborhoods
• Business card, logos, branding
• If you don't pull the free levers and you rely on spending money to generate traffic, you're going to have a hard time when your business falls
• Understand the foundation and building marketing right
• Have a nice brand behind you
• Open up your phone's address book
• Using your platform to educate
• Door knocking
• Posting schedule for social media
• Instagram reels
• Tiktoks
• Facebook ads

On this episode, Blake talks about what's going on in the real estate market in Arizona. In the second part of the episode Blake shares what realtors and lenders need to be doing over the next 6 to 8 months to stay relevant during a market shift.

Blake says the reality is the market is not going to crash. Too many people got used to the hyper inflated market the last two years, and looked at this as the new norm. That's just not the reality. Blake explains when he got into real estate in 2015, if he had sold a house in the very first weekend, he would have pissed off sellers right there. They would say "You sold my house too cheap and went way too fast."

Key Topics:

• Every market goes up, every market goes down
• Active homes on the market stats
• Keeping emotions out of a real estate purchase
• Lack of construction over last 2 years
• Appreciation in your home
• Hedge funds buying single family homes
• The Fed trying to slow inflation with interest rates
• Agents strategy on pricing a home
• Any time is a good time to buy or sell even right now
• 20% increase in home value
• How to stay relevant as an agent in a tougher market
• Strategy as a listing agent
• Generating leads

On this episode Steve Valentine joins Blake as two worlds of Limitless Real Estate come together! Steve is a realtor and investor out of Phoenix, AZ and he’s got a very interesting story! We talked about how he got started right before the market crashed, and how he ended up leaving his family’s business with over a million dollars of debt that he had to pay back on his own, along with investing a million dollars in a business that didn’t pan out! At that time, he ended up getting an REO account during those early days with many foreclosures happening with Fanny and Freddie. Steve talks about how he sold over 5,000 homes during that period. It is absolutely insane to hear how he did that, as well as what is looked like behind the scenes selling homes for Fanny and Freddie and how much he was making. He talked about how his dad represented over 1,000 transactions at the courthouse for these foreclosures. And the worst part about that was that his investors didn’t leave him with any of the houses throughout that time! That heavily influenced Steve in his career to get into the investing space seeing what his dad went through. It’s created the business he has today, where he owns over 75 single-family rentals, helping people all over get rental properties, be creative, and solve problems in the Phoenix market. He talks about his strategy to get 10 deals per month with no marketing! If you’re in real estate, you will learn some extremely valuable lessons from Steve!
