What’s the number one rule in real estate? Well, it’s also the fastest path to cash. It’s not location, location, location. It’s making a ton of offers. I can’t emphasize the importance of this enough. If you want to make serious money in real estate, you have to learn how to make offers. That’s the number one skill you must master to close more deals and grow your business. If you haven’t made anyone mad by noon, you’re not making enough offers.

My new Offer Challenge starts next week and it’s the perfect way to boost your offer making skills. For 30 days, you’re going to make one offer per day. Within the first week, I’ll teach you how to talk to sellers and make offers without any fancy software. In the following four weeks, we’ll hold live accountability sessions where we’ll talk through your deals and troubleshoot. Head to OfferChallenge.net to sign up!

—Why making offers is the fastest path to cash

—Why being brilliant at the basics is all you need to succeed

You don’t need a real estate license to do deals, but it certainly does help. Things are a lot easier when you’re a realtor yourself, especially when it comes to connecting with other realtors. It helps get your foot in the door and helps boost your credibility. My friend David joins me here to talk about this whole topic. David’s an investor and a realtor in the St. Louis market and we’ve known each other for a long time. He shares all the details on how to do deals and make money. 

Right now, there are a lot of rules and laws being passed to prevent folks from doing wholesale deals without a license. Luckily, there are a couple of ways around that. Number one, just go ahead and get your license, no big deal. Number two, just buy the property and work with realtors who can then help you buy and sell your deals. I love working with realtors, and I think it's a great way to get started in the business.

Here, Mike McCloskey joins me to talk about leadership. We're going to be talking about the importance of leadership, the challenges that a lot of folks have, and how to become better leaders in our businesses, families, society, and the community around us. What Mike has to share is really powerful and he’s been a leader in the corporate world for a long time. 

I always like getting perspective and feedback from people outside of the real estate world who work with bigger companies. A big company in our real estate world is maybe a company that makes $1 million a year, right? But guys like Mike work with companies that do 50 to 100 million dollars a year. If you’re new to real estate, this is going to be super important for you to understand. Even if you don’t want to run a massive company, leadership skills are still relevant.

Are you new to this business? Are you new to real estate investing and want to start making a lot of money, but you're worried about what to do? You're in the right place. Here, I'm going to show you the top four biggest mistakes that rookie investors make, and I’ve done them all myself. I went full time in this business in 2008 and 2009, right in the middle of all kinds of economic uncertainty. Even though things were a mess, I saw a huge opportunity. 

The first mistake I cover is investors cutting back on marketing during uncertain times. You have to keep the marketing machine churning to keep bringing in those leads. Mistake number two is being inconsistent with marketing. In addition to keeping your marketing going, you have to have a solid process. Mistake number three is giving up too easily when times get tough. You have to stick with this business in order for it to work. The last mistake is not delegating. Outsource the little things so you can bring in more deals.

—Top four rookie mistakes in real estate investing

Here, I'm going to show you how we made $31,406 on a vacant land deal that we didn’t even own. We didn't buy it and we didn't use any of our own money. We did a simple assignment and I'm going to walk through all the details of how we did this deal from beginning to end. This was the biggest profit I’ve ever made on a vacant land deal. It’s not typical for everyone but it is possible, and I’ll show you exactly how I did it, step by step.

To get into the right position, we made a ton of offers. If you take away anything from this episode, it’s that making offers is the key to making money in this business. We also get a ton of leads because we do a ton of marketing. The principles I’ll share with you here are the same for a $300 deal and a $31,000 one. Remember, the real estate business is a marketing business. Get leads, talk to a lot of sellers, and make those offers.

—How I made over $30K in profit in a land deal that we didn’t own

—My step-by-step process for vacant land deals

Once you start getting some great leads coming in, it’s time to take things to the next level by talking to sellers and making offers. You can do this through postcards, cold calls, texts, or even blind offers. If you get a seller on the phone, it’s important to know what to say. Here, I’m sharing a seller script that works like a charm. And you don’t need to do anything fancy. Just be yourself and ask the right questions.

In this walkthrough, I share a call between myself and a seller I recently talked to, so you can get a feel for how a real conversation would go. I talk about how to uncover all the information you need to make a good offer and what to do when it’s unclear where the title is. In real calls, you might not get to every single question you plan on asking. The important thing is that you reach out to those leads coming in and make lots of offers.

—How to talk to sellers when leads start coming in

—How to ask the right questions so you can put together an offer
