January 14, 2021 By Steve Leave a Comment

Tiffany and Josh High Share How They Leveraged Their KPIs to Earn $200,000+ per Month

With Tiffany and Josh High, Heels Homes, LTD

January 13, 2021

About Tiffany and Josh High

Tiffany High is a recovered corporate employee who quit her job cold turkey to start investing in real estate when her brother was ill with cancer. She learned on the fly, taking six months to secure her first deal and was about two weeks away from giving up when she started having success.

Josh High worked in construction for years and quit his job once they had their real estate investment company off the ground. Josh brings his construction background to the company’s fix and flip side of their business.

Tiffany and Josh both wholesale and fix and flip. They unusually started with fix and flips, primarily due to Josh’s construction knowledge but also because they were figuring things out on the fly. As they grew, they sought help learning how to organize and manage their business and now run a lean company with great employee bonus plans to encourage retention.

Show Notes

Tiffany and Josh describe to Steve how they use their KPIs to manage their business daily and keep their company lean and growing. They discuss the four fundamentals they use in their business, employee bonus structure for motivation and referrals, and how defined roles put them on the path to success. 

Top 5 Takeaways from Tiffany and Josh:

5.  Define your roles and stay in your lanes. This is especially important for couples. You will find things get done and there will be less quarreling.

4. Spend some time discovering and writing down your core values. Then make them an integral part of your business processes.

3. Never hire someone who doesn’t mesh with your core values, no matter their experiences. If they don’t fit, they don’t get the job. No exceptions. Violating this rule will only result in problems later on. 

2. Don’t chase the shiny objects. Social media is full of lots of noise, of people telling you what you should chase — stay true to yourself and your business goals. You can look to expand into something, but don’t abandon your business to grab the brass ring.  

1. Use your KPIs daily to monitor your company’s performance and catch any negative trends or targets not being reached. This also helps you keep your sales team on track and help them meet their targets.

Bonus Takeaway:  You can maximize your revenue and profits by paying attention to your KPIs daily. Why daily? Because you see negative trends develop before they impact your business. If you only look at the end of the month, you may have four weeks of low sales because someone wasn’t doing their job. If you see a problem in a day or two, you can correct the issue before it wastes your time and impacts your wallet.

Michael Fitzgerald Shares How He Went From Bandit Signs to 100s of Doors and Running a Fund

With Michael Fitzgerald, Gideon Properties

January 6, 2021

About Michael Fitzgerald

Michael Fitzgerald planned on importing products from China and selling them in the United States. After his first deal, and a chance meeting, he switched to real estate and has since built a multi-faceted empire.

Michael had no money to invest in real estate, so he had to be creative. His first several deals were all different types:  Subject To, wholesale, even developing farmland with $0 down. Along the way, he has become friends with people all around the world. Currently Michael is involved in city-state partnerships where he actually gets the government to help finance his projects!

Michael’s story is as unique as it is inspirational. He proves that you don’t need money to build a real estate business. You just need to get going. Connect with Michael on Instagram or Facebook. 

Show Notes

Steve asks Michael how he got started in real estate, and they explore many concepts for how people can start. One of Michael’s emphasis is that you don’t need to know how to do everything, or have any money. Just start and learn along the way. 

Top 5 Takeaways from Michael:

5.  Review every potential deal. You don’t need to know how to do a deal to get started. Figure it out, learn what you need to learn, and keep moving forward.

4. Take care of the people you work with. Honesty and commitment, along with fulfilling your obligations even if you could get out of them, will benefit you in the long run.

3. Never stop marketing. Too many people market, get some business, then stop marketing while they work on those deals. Once those deals are done, they have nothing in the pipeline because they stopped marketing. 

2. If something bad happens, don’t let that stop you from doing more deals. New deals can pay for unexpected losses from a bad deal. If you stop, you have no way to cover the losses. So accept the problem, and do more deals to make up for it.  

1. Networking makes life easier and more enjoyable. Networking shouldn’t be forcing yourself on others — just start up conversations with people everywhere you go.

Bonus Takeaway:  Just start. You don’t need money, you don’t need to know everything, you just need to start and keep going until you get some deals. If you take consistent action, you will succeed even if you fall down a few times along the way. If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.

Wholesale 70+ Mobile Homes On Land w/o a Buyers’ List During Covid – Featuring Sandy Cesaire

December 20, 2020 By Steve Leave a Comment

Summary

Sandy Cesaire flies in from Florida and tells her rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. We learn how she bought and sold over 70 mobile homes with land for big profits in 2020. All without a buyer’s list. She also tells us how to find buyers easily and inexpensively. A great niche market to look at for your business.

SHOW NOTES

Wholesale 70+ Mobile Homes On Land w/o a Buyers’ List During Covid

With Sandy Cesaire, Bellaire Investment Group

December 16, 2020

About Sandy Cesaire

Sandy Cesaire was drawn to real estate very early. Almost right out of high school, she tried to get her real estate agent’s license, but couldn’t sit for the exam because she didn’t have the full amount for the fees. She became a mortgage broker and learned which lenders liked to loan to investors or had creative financing options. 

Sandy did very well with fix and flips and even got into hard money lending. But the 2008 crash wiped her out (or wiped out her investment partners, who had her cash). She eventually dipped her toes back into real estate and developed a method for wholesale buying and selling mobile homes with land to end users and significant profits. Now Sandy is expanding her mobile home wholesale business to other states, with plans to go nationwide soon.

Connect with Sandy on Instagram, or Facebook. You can also find her online at Bellaire Investment Group and her personal website.

Show Notes

Sandy and Steve discuss how Sandy got into real estate, her history as a mortgage broker,and  how she dealt with losing $800,000 cash in the 2008 crash. Sandy talks about her return to real estate, and how she discovered how to make big profits wholesaling mobile homes with land. She even touches on dealing with mommy guilt and her company’s future plans.

Top 5 Takeaways from Sandy:

5.  Have your paperwork in order. Don’t rely on the goodness of other people you work with, even if they have the best intentions. If you don’t protect yourself, you will eventually get burned.

4. Mommy guilt is real. Remind yourself that you’re working hard now so that you can enjoy life later.

3. Do the right thing for your sellers. Most are selling to you because they need help. Don’t be afraid to help them — not only is it the right thing to do, it will make your deal easier. 

2. Stay focused. It’s easy to become distracted and not pay enough attention to your core business.  

1. Figure it out. No matter the situation, you are not likely to know everything. So dive in, figure it out, and make it work better for the next deal.

Bonus Takeaway:  Let it go. No matter what bad things happened, you won’t move on and rebuild until you let it go. Put your boots on, pick yourself up, and move on. Get rid of toxic things and people. Only then can you be happy and prosperous.

$200,000+ In One Month! Dominick Felix & Gonzalo Corzo On How To Do Huge Numbers In One Market!

With Dominick Felix and Gonzalo Corzon, Texas Size Real Estate

August 26, 2020

About Gonzalo Corzo and Dominick Felix at Cash Geeks

Gonzalo Corzo and Dominick Felix built their wholesale business together by focusing on what each of them does best. The Jacksonville, Florida based company is expanding into other markets like San Antonio, Texas. They keep their focus on markets with characteristics similar to their home market.

This gives G and Dom the ability to simply plug in their systems and processes to new markets. It also demonstrates the immense value of using established processes to operate your business. Expansion and new markets can happen quickly because you can plug your systems into new offices and locations and run everything as you are accustomed to. 

The duo are also heavily involved in their community, doing quite a bit of education with fellow wholesalers. You can connect with their wholesaling education Facebook group here.

Connect with or find more information about Gonzalo on Instagram, and Dominick on Instagram. You can check out G and Dom at Cash Geeks Pro.

Show Notes

Gonzalo and Dominick join Steve to discuss how they took their business to consistently producing over $200,000 a month from under $100,000 a month by focusing on their processes, training, and changing how they targeted and marketed their properties. They share some great tactics for pricing your properties, working with and finding buyers, and why you may be having problems moving your properties. They also discuss handling personnel issues when bringing in outside people to become managers.

Top 5 Takeaways from G and Dom:

5.  Sometimes you need to bring in someone from the outside to be a manager rather than promoting from within. Don’t be afraid to do this if your personnel aren’t ready to handle different duties. You may have great people in their seats, but they may be completely unprepared for management roles.

4. Communicating with your employees is crucial. Be honest and straightforward with them, but also put in the time to develop them. 

3. Systems and processes will allow you to build consistency and handle adversity. 

2. Find what you really want to do and focus on that. It’s OK to try other things, but evaluate whether the new venture is truly what YOU want to do or if it is taking you away from the part of the business you enjoy.

1. Focus on what you want to build and don’t get distracted by the shiny objects. Work to train your team, grow your team, and push to improve your processes.

Bonus Takeaway:  The quick, easy deals for a small profit may be tempting, but they actually take as much (or sometimes more) time than deals which will pay you more money. Don’t get bogged down in time-wasting work that takes you away from the bigger producing deals.
