FACTS: you can’t “budget” your way to financial freedom…

Saving won’t get you there either (sorry Dave Ramsey)…

It’s not that “latte” or pumpkin spice you need to stop buying…

Cutting back on “eating out” won’t do it.

In fact, you’ll just be LESS happy NOT more wealthy….

None of those are it.

Punishing yourself or “restricting” your lifestyle isn’t the “secret” you haven’t been told…

…it’s investing you need to START doing! 🤔

INVESTING where you can multiply your dollars.

Saving a few bucks (or even a lot) won’t get you to financial freedom…

Your money needs to be deployed in vehicles that provide 3 🔑 things:

1. Leverage
2. Appreciation
3. Equity
^^^^^
this one’s my favorite…

Truth is…

Saving alone won’t do it.

Money has to be multipled, WITHOUT increasing your time input. 🤔

Keep your lattes peeps, and learn how to invest 👊

Over the summer I shared with our Real Estate Mavericks group students this exact point (seen in the image)…

This data is from Raleigh NC, which is a very UNaffordable market (based on data).

Back in the summer a few of the Mavericks students were looking at this city and I shared what I saw regarding affordability, why it mattered and how the students should navigate the market…

Then yesterday I see this post… The data confirms what I saw back then (data is usually a lagging indicator BUT, as I’ll share in a sec, when you know you’re looking at and how to out it together you can PROJECT forward and anticipate)…

Back to the point…

I think the more important piece of this is that knowing the data and HOW to interpret it and extract the story it tells you is key, because, knowing this back then, BEFORE the data confirmed it, allowed us (me and the students) to know how to navigate the market and how to do deals in that market…

Do deals?

“But didn’t you say it was unaffordable Mike?”

Yes. But hear me out.

Just because we can see that a certain area is unaffordable doesn’t mean we don’t do deals there, affordability is just the bar by which we measure our “in” point on a deal.

For example, if we can see, based on data that affordability in the area is $250k price for a home, yet homes are selling for over $300k (fully renovated) that tells us that homes are overpriced based on affordability (which impersonally is one of the MOST important pieces of data).

It ALSO tells us that, if we want to do deals in this area we MUST make sure that we are “in” UNDER the actual affordability line, ie $250k 🤔

Understanding this and how affordability shapes a market is a super power to unlocking wealth and creating equity!!

It’s one of the core pieces I cover deeply in our Mavericks group equipping the students to select markets and deals that in the RIGHT way that are poised for explosive growth.

If you want one of the peeps who, in 10 years from now, everyone asks you “how did you know that market was gonna grow so much? You’re a damn genius!”

We have some space in our Mavericks group, send me a DM and let’s see if you’re a good fit 👊💯

“I was tired of real estate events and rah-rah motivational stories from stages, giving abstract theories, sharing the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ but NEVER THE ‘HOW’ and so I wasn’t expecting much, but holy sh*t!!! The sheer amount of practical how-to this man gave blew me away. Now I’m actually taking action, finally”

^^^ Our next real estate workshop is fast approaching, if you haven’t grabbed your early bird ticket, what are you waiting for?

For the entire time we’ve been consultants we hear the same stories over and over, people constantly telling us how different our stuff is, and how thankful they are to finally get ACTIONABLE info

Because that’s what matters, right?

What good is info if it’s not delivered in a way that makes sense, and tells you exactly what to do, and in what order, etc

You won’t find this level of insight, strategy and HOW-TO anywhere else. I guarantee it.

The entire workshop is centered around giving you the HOW.

From the moment we start in the morning we’re walking you through how to get into deals the fastest way possible, with the least amount of money possible…

and how to recycle that money and multiply into several deals your very first year…

In the afternoon we show exactly how to analyze markets, all over the country, what to look for, what matters, what specific data points are significant and HOW they tie into your plan of action…

Then we show you HOW to analyze the actual deal itself.

We do this by actually analyzing deals together, LIVE at the workshop.

Then we show you HOW to negotiate deals, what to look for right on the MLS to recognize deal opportunities…

And then we show you HOW to lock those deals down.

The entire workshop is a deep-dive “HOW-TO” buy your first (or next) investment property in 90 days or less…

YES, YOU CAN learn how to (properly) invest in real estate and buy your very first investment property (or next) in the next 90 days or less...

YES, YOU reading this post can buy your first investment property in 90 days or less and start on the path toward financial freedom...

IF...

YES, there is an "if"...

IF…

You're willing to take action.

You're able to follow very clear instructions.

AND...

You are willing to do what it takes.

Maybe you find yourself just like I was before I actually stepped out and bought my first deal…

I had spent years reading books, listening to podcasts, taking courses, always thinking that there was one more thing that I needed to learn, or some“missing piece to the puzzle” that kept me from actually stepping out and taking action…

Sound familiar?

The truth is real estate can only be learned by taking action, not from sitting behind a computer….

And that’s exactly what I want to help you do…

Right now, you can grab the complete course, broken down into 3 - 2 (ish) hour segments centered around deal and market analysis, knowing ALL the numbers, a full breakdown of our entire buying formula and how we find great deals, how to negotiate properly and how to close and rehab amazing deals...

I want to help you understand which markets you should buy in, what properties to buy and how to put it all together and close the right deals, in 90 days or less…

Interested?

“Locked up another deal today!”

“I’m on door 14 now, this is like playing monopoly!”

“Ohhhhh! This makes so much sense! If I do this with this money, it creates this much more money over here”

“I just located a goldmine of a market that I’m gonna tap into tomorrow”

How to create real estate deals where YOU get paid to buy it, own it and reap ALL the benefits 🤔

In other words, INFINITE RETURN deals…

A few weeks ago I closed the refinance phase on another of our properties (with 2 more closing this Thursday)

Renovation was completed in July and we got lease signed and new tenant moved in 😱

And…

In the last 4 weeks 3 of my students have closed deals that will look very similar 💰💰

Here’s some of the numbers:

✔️ Over $153,750,000 equity added to the property with only $33,500 in renovations (and not a dime of my own money spent to renovate 😱😱)
✔️ We walked away from closing with with over $17,000 which means not only do we have NONE of our own money in this deal (I actually the students at my workshop the HUD statement from this deal)
✔️ We took a nice profit on the front end and we STILL control the asset.
✔️ Asset is producing a positive cash return every month…
✔️ Asset now provides tax benefits and increasing appreciation in a fast growing area
✔️ Thursday I closed 2 more refinances that look very similar, one will pay me $14,000 to own it and the other is a break even deal…

✔️ Thursday I’m ALSO closing on a new acquisition that will see us adding over $100,000 in equity and will also become another infinite return deal…

This asset is now an(other) “infinite return” asset because we have NO money in this deal AT ALL yet it will continue generating a positive return for the foreseeable future…

It is now a personal bank known that will spit out tax free “cash injections” every few years…

Not only do we NOT have any money in the deal, but it actually PAID us to buy it 😱😱

Crazy, right?

The damn property paid ME to buy it and I get to reap all its benefits.
Interested to learn how we create deals like this?

I LOVE debt!!

Yup, you read that correctly!

Here’s why:

If you invest WITHOUT leveraging debt you only get a 1:1 deduction benefit..
Meaning your $1 only equates to $1…

But…

If you put in $1 of your own Money and the bank puts in $4 you’ve now created a 5:1 deduction leverage 😱

Meaning your $1 now afford you the benefit of $5 in deduction and expense offsetting…

This is one of the many ways real estate can make you incredibly wealthy, especially if you already have an existing business or pay lots of taxes 🤔
This has, hands down, been one of my favorite parts of being an investor…

For years I wrote 5 & 6 figure check to the gub-ment, and I hated it 😱😱
Real estate changed that!! (Not tax advice 😱🤷‍♂️🤣)

Most of my mentorship students have existing businesses and will benefit immensely from owning real estate…

Income producing debt will make you wealthy faster than anything I know of…

Without debt you only get a 1:1 benefit, WITH the banks money (OPM) you get a 5:1 benefit 😱💰💰💰🏠🏠🏠

Game on.

P.S. I shared the other day that I had only TWO spots left for mentorship…

Are home prices going to crash?

Is the market “in trouble”?

Despite what you may be hearing, I don’t think so…

Here’s why:

The biggest factor at play, and that has had an affect on rising prices, is inventory levels and higher than expected demand…

Explosive demand, to be more accurate.

For the last 10 years building was at all time lows, combine that with almost 3 times as a many millennials (as anticipated) hitting the bushing market during this same time and you have a demand surge that is significantly outpacing the ability of supply to keep up…

And I think that will continue, at least until early 2024…

Here’s what news sources had to say on this:

“Every investor should bear in mind the continuing shortages in the housing sector. This shortage will not ease any time soon; in fact, we’ve been short for over a decade. It’s not going to suddenly change this summer, which means that the housing market will remain stable and home prices will remain elevated”

The most dramatic slowdown is being observed in the single-family sector. Here, the dip in housing start numbers is much more dramatic than the average—a significant 15.7% below June’s figures. Building permits were also down by 8%, which is the strongest indicator that future construction in this sector is in jeopardy.”

The feds raised rates this week, by a 1/4 basis points, truth is, this rate hike has, for the most part, ALREADY been factored in for most lenders as it was highly anticipated…

Rates may have some, more focused affects on demand, but in many of the more “in-demand” areas things will continue…

And with 3x as many millennials hitting the market as expected demand is going to stay high…

Rate hikes will definitely affect this group, as many will be priced out of buying simply because they can’t afford the payment…

Which will send them into the rental market (this is already happening almost EVERYWHERE)…

These millennials are hitting the rental market in full force…

This is the time when wealth is created.

It doesn’t matter what the Fed does.

It doesn’t matter if the White House tries to change the definition of “recession”…

It doesn’t even matter IF we’re actually IN a recession…

You just have to know what to look for and how to put deals together the right way.

It’s ALL about the deal. 🤔

We’ve broken down to a very detailed and specific formula that ensures we ONLY buy good deals, at the right price with lots of upside potential…

The formula is our compass.

NOT emotion.

NOT fear.

NOT guesswork.

The FORMULA.

Opportunities abound.

The next 12-18 months are going to present incredible opportunities 👊🤔

Recession vs. Expansion

Here’s the simplest difference between the two…

Expansion = opportunities have to be sought out, pursued and followed through on as everyone and their mother is “making moves”…

It’s easy.

The barriers are pretty non-existent.

Recession = opportunities come to you (IF you’re know how to spot and recognize them 🤔)…

Everyone is scared.

People are buying into the panic and being led by emotion around what they “hear” despite what they actually see and feel…

This creates tremendous opportunities for those who are LOOKING 👀

While everyone is running away, being controlled by fear and buying into the “doom and gloom” others are going to make major moves 🤔

It’s no wonder many successful companies were started DURING a recession…

Millionaires are made in down times…

Wealth is built when others are fleeing 🤔💰

Hewlett-Packard (1937-1938 Recession) ...
Hyatt Hotels (1957-1958 Recession) ...
Microsoft (1973-1975 Recession) ...
Electronic Arts (1981-1982 Recession) ...
Mailchimp (2001 & 2009 Recession) ...
Uber (2007-2009 Recession)
Air BnB (2007-2009 Recession)
Venmo (2007-2009 Recession)

And the list goes on…

These founders had eyes to SEE the opportunities that were coming to them…

They seized while many others fled 🤔

Recession OR expansion?

YOU choose 🤔

B.E.A.F.
No it’s NOT what’s for dinner 🤣🤣

It’s what can make you very wealthy. 🤔

The acronym stands for “break even appreciation focused” and it defines the type of real estate deal that can make you wealthy in the long term…

Most people are focused on the immediate, the right now…

But real estate is best played as a “long game”, with a long term focus and approach…

I’ve been on both sides of this coin and have bought deals from the “short sighted” investor and it ALWAYS works more in my favor than theirs (in fact I just closed one of these about a week ago)…

Back to B.E.A.F.

While most folks are chasing “cash flow” and breaking their necks for a few $100 bucks a month (simply because they read a book) we, instead, are focusing on specific data points and acquiring deals that, at bare minimum, break even on the front end and have solid appreciation markers in place (which in its face is STILL incredibly powerful, the ability to acquire an asset at break even is crazy good)…

I’m not worried about, or trying to chase, $200 a month, I want growth and I want it where my assets will double in value in just a few years time…

Because I know…

Cash flow will NOT make me rich!

But appreciation?

That’s a whole other animal, and it WILL (has) made me rich.

Fortune favors the bold.

I’d add to that…

So does FREEDOM.

The bold are willing to take risks, get uncomfortable and venture into uncharted territory…

Those happen to be the very places where fortune and freedom are found…

“Playing it safe” and avoiding risk and minor discomfort never got anyone anywhere except stick in mediocre and full of regret 🤔

Take life by the horns…

Be bold.

Take risks.

Step out.

Do the uncomfortable.

There’s gold in them there hills 🤔👊💯
