In this episode of REI Deal Finders, I'm breaking down exactly how to launch—or relaunch—your real estate business in 2026 with focus, momentum, and clarity. If you've been stuck in research mode, bouncing between strategies, or just unsure where to start, this episode gives you a simple framework to move forward.

I walk through the same approach we use with new investors inside our community: how to stop spinning your wheels, choose your lane, and build a business that can actually replace your income. Whether you're just getting started or ready to grow, this is your blueprint for creating results in the new year.

Episode Highlights

[0:00] – The biggest problem in real estate isn't laziness—it's lack of clarity

[3:06] – Why trying to do everything keeps you from doing anything

[8:38] – Our story: from two rentals to a full-time business and 98+ doors

[10:23] – Why momentum matters more than speed

[14:40] – The "three-lane" wealth-building model: flips, rentals, lending

[18:12] – Systems that support your next level (or keep you stuck)

[20:40] – Why community is the secret weapon for consistency and confidence

[28:20] – The "greenlight principle" that helps you act without hesitation

[29:05] – The simple 3-step process: Analyze, Act, Adjust

[33:32] – How to get the coaching and support you need to thrive in 2026

5 Key Takeaways

1. Too many options create overwhelm—clarity leads to confidence
2. Your business needs a simple model: flips for cash, rentals for wealth, lending for scale
3. Systems are either supporting your growth—or sabotaging it
4. Solo isn't sustainable—community will get you there faster and safer
5. Progress comes from consistent action, not perfect knowledge
