We're talking about cash flow with my special guest, the one and only Antonio Edwards. I've known Antonio for a long time, and he's a very active investor and influencer. Here, he shares his story and how he got started in real estate. Antonio has done it all. He's done all kinds of deals, from fix and flip, to rehabs to wholesaling to creative financing. He's a veteran in the business, and we talk about some old war stories and all about what’s working today in this market.

I have a special workshop that I do every Saturday called the Land Fast Start Masterclass. I basically start with the premise. If I had to start all over again from scratch and go into a brand new market, what would I do? In this workshop, we’re going to pull a list of buyers and sellers, do a marketing campaign, and make offers. It's a full, comprehensive A to Z class on how to start a brand new land flipping business. Head to Joemccall.com/saturday. It's just seven bucks.

Would you like to learn how to buy land for super cheap? In fact, how to buy land with nothing down? I'm going to show you how to do that right here, and it’s so easy. I’ll show you how I find vacant land and buy it, whether you’re using cash or owner financing. You can use these strategies if you're using land as an investment or if you're using land for your own personal reasons. These are my favorite ways to find these kinds of deals.

The number one rule in real estate is not location, location, location. It's make offers, make offers, make offers, and make a lot of them. Make the cash offer, and if they say no, make the owner financing offer. Make them both at the same time. That’s how you get into the game and start making a lot of money. That’s how you’re going to find those amazing deals. 

What’s Inside:

—My favorite ways to find cheap land deals

—A software walkthrough of how I put everything together

—How to make cash and owner financing offers.

Paul do Campo joins me here to talk all about following up. If you get the right systems in place, you can convert 30 to 40% of your dead leads into deals.

Paul’s system is a whole different arsenal of tools that can save you from chasing those pesky manual tasks that can really drain your time.

Paul demos how his system helps you draw in leads by using problems and solutions and how you can customize different sequences to fit unique situations.

Jared and Foster are back here with another update, and they’re doing an amazing job. They’ve got a full pipeline, and their numbers are looking fantastic. So far, they’ve sent out almost 8,000 postcards and made 25 offers, not too shabby. Here, I go over some of the questions they have as they work on closing more deals. One of their issues was in dealing with a property in significant wetlands with poor access and I walked them through how to handle it. 

In our call, we also run through Jared and Foster’s numbers and stats. I share how I like to put together offers and handle objections that come up along the way. I also share some pro tips on how to stay on top of your follow-ups. We wrap up with a discussion on how to know which deals are good, which are bad, and how to tell the difference.

What’s Inside:

—An update on Jared and Foster’s land-flipping business

—How to choose the best deals and avoid bad ones

—How to put offers together and handle objections.

My good friend Shaun McCloskey does a workshop once a year called the Business Vision Workshop. I've heard Shaun teach this stuff a million times, but it's always good to be reminded of these things and to really think about what kind of business do I want, what kind of life do I want, right? One of the coolest exercises they do in this workshop is sit down and think about what your dream day would look like. If you’re only doing what you love and money doesn't matter, what would your dream job look like?

It’s an exercise in designing what you ultimately want your business and personal life to look like. Some people want to travel the world with their families; others want a fancy car and a nice house. Whatever it is, work backwards and figure out how many deals and how much money it would take to get there. You might be surprised to find out that you don’t need to hire a bunch of people or spend a lot of money on fancy software to get there. 

What’s Inside:

—How to envision your dream life

—Why your dream life might take less money and work than you think

Have you ever wondered how you could find, hire, and train really good virtual assistants to run your business for you? How do you outsource your business to someone else? Here, I’ll show you how to do it. When I was starting out, I was going through a vicious up and down roller coaster of not getting enough leads. The VA I hired not only helped me get more leads, but they also pointed out a better way to do it.

Hiring VAs is pretty simple and there are three things your VA should be doing for you: all of your marketing, updating your CRM, and handling your follow up. I walk through all of these areas so you know how to train them properly. I also discuss how to find the best VAs, how to set up VA scorecards, and why your VAs should create your standard operating procedures (SOPs). 

What’s Inside:

—How VAs can save you time and money

—The three things your VAs should be doing for you

My good friend Tom Krol is known for taking massive, imperfect action. In your real estate business, the mindset stuff up in your head makes up 85%, and the remaining 15%, if that, is the tactical stuff. Tom’s here to fire you up to stop making excuses and to start taking action, even if it’s not perfect. Tom shares some of the key markers that you see in successful people in this business, like what differentiates a beginner who's doing deals from a beginner who's still struggling.

A lot of people hire coaches to get results. The education you receive is super important, but in the end, what brings in cash is progress, not perfection. The sooner you get out there and test the strategies you learn, the sooner you’ll start making money. Some of the stuff Tom shares here sounds easy, and you might think, Hey, it can’t be this simple. The truth is that this is rock-solid information for anyone looking to make a significant change in their life and business.

—The difference between beginners who succeed and those who struggle

—Tom’s key markers to success in real estate

I was doing a coaching call recently with my land coaching clients, and some of them asked me how an assignment works on a land deal. Some people may want to do a land deal, but they're worried that they don't have the money or can't get access to the money to double close on it. Much like when we're wholesaling properties, sometimes it’s easier when you can do an assignment and then sell that contract to somebody else for a higher price. You could also assign the rights to that contract to an end buyer. 

Some people say in some states it's illegal, immoral, and fattening to do assignments or to do wholesaling. Maybe it is, maybe it's not. The wholesaling police are out there, and they will get you, and you'll have to pay a fine if you get caught doing something illegal, like wholesaling or assigning contracts. But every attorney that I've talked to said every contract is assignable as long as the seller and the buyer both agree to assign the contract. 

What’s Inside:

—When an assignment might work for you.

—Examples of how to put an assignment contract together.

—Why you should add options to your assignment.

I’m in the Business Vision Workshop right now and I want to talk about something real quick. My dad was a janitor growing up but he had this incredible entrepreneurial streak – obviously, I took after him. He owned his own janitorial services business and whenever he would hire people, he has this 2-step formula for training people.

—Step 1: They would just watch him do the work

—Step 2: He would watch them do the work

And then they would be on their own. But they would learn the tricks to being more efficient to do the work. I love that analogy of watching somebody do it and have them watch you do it. And in terms of real estate, I teach and coach people how to do deals and the most effective way I’ve found is have people watch me go into a market, do the research of a county, pull up a list of sellers, put a marketing plan in place, do some cold calling and make offers.

I have this program called the Inner Circle. There’s nothing like this program out there and here, it’s all about me watching YOU do all the stuff. You will be getting my support, coaching, resources, software, lead – and even MY MONEY! 

You will get my workshop bundle that includes all of my previous life marketing masterclass recordings, my brand-new land fast start masterclass, my coaching and funding on your deals if you JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE. It’s only $1 for the 7-day membership trial but you get the workshop bundle and so much more!
