Here, my good friend Rob Swanson joins me to talk all about how FreedomSoft can transform your real estate business. It’s an incredible tool. One thing I learned early on in my real estate investing career is the importance of “no lead left behind.” Whatever tool you’re using, you have to have a system that prevents leads from falling through the cracks. The money is made in the follow up, right?

I use FreedomSoft every day. I use it for houses. I use it for land. I use it to do my direct mail. I use it for my phone numbers. I use it for my websites. I use it for digital signatures. There's going to be lists for land that you can get excited about. Yeah, did I mention skip tracing? You can do cold calling, create your contracts, create automated workflow automations, and much more.

Today’s episode is gonna be epic. I’m with my buddy, Brent Bowers, to talk about what’s working well today with two very simple agendas: TEACH and DO DEALS.

Brent and I talk about what he’s been up to in his business and share our excitement for our upcoming 2-day workshop, together with another real estate legend, Ray Zhang, which will happen in Busch Stadium while we’re watching a Cardinals game. How cool is that? You can fast-track your vacant land business with what we’ll be teaching and showing you in this workshop on August 26–27.

Here’s the catch… We're only inviting a small group of action-takers for this exclusive, hands-on, mastermind workshop. After that, the secrets go back in the vault. So do not delay. Sign up now by going to DoDealsWorkshop.com.

Wouldn’t it be cool to maybe get six figure assignments? What if you could make $100,000 as an assignment fee, doing bigger deals like commercial properties? Obviously, I can't guarantee or promise that you're going to make six figures wholesaling deals. But I can tell you this, you'll probably be more likely to make that kind of money when you're wholesaling bigger properties than you would if you're wholesaling houses or recreational vacant land.

Commercial real estate can be real intimidating, right? It can be a little scary. That's why I've asked a good friend of mine, Trent Ellingford, to come on the show to talk about this. He’s a commercial real estate investor who does a lot of these bigger deals and has been teaching and helping people do commercial wholesaling. If you want to get these kinds of larger assignment deals, you're in the right spot.

—How to land six figure wholesaling deals

—Which properties to target as a beginner

Some students and clients in the community are struggling. They’re getting deals under contract, but they're not selling them. There are a few things going on here, but you’ve got to learn how to negotiate with sellers. People are struggling because they're getting a property under contract, and they're waiting too long, hoping to get the price that they want. You’re probably offering way too much, or you’re not being aggressive enough in your negotiations with sellers to get them down to their price.

So how do you solve this problem? You have to become the reluctant buyer instead of the motivated buyer. When you stop chasing sellers, they start coming to you. You have to play tough. Don't let them walk over you. Don't let them tell you how it's going to work. You tell them how it's going to work. Here, I take a couple of questions from the community, do a little role playing, and show you what it looks like to be that reluctant buyer.

What’s Inside:

—Why you don’t want to be a motivated buyer

—How to get tough with sellers and become a reluctant buyer

—A role play to help you talk to sellers

I've been getting a lot of testimonials lately from folks who are doing deals. Things are actually working for them and the community that I'm trying to build inside what I'm calling my inner circle. It's just so cool to see people in there who are helping each other and partnering with each other on deals. I haven't really focused on building a community until last year, and I wanted something where people could post questions and get answers from others besides me.

Whether you have too many leads or not enough, this group is the place to be. The cool thing is that people in the community are jumping in with some fantastic ideas and advice. It’s super exciting, and I'm really giddy over it because it's actually working. People are getting real results. If you want to check it out for yourself, head to my Facebook group called Joe’s Inner Circle. I’ll meet you there.

This walkthrough is all about how I like to talk to realtors. Some of you guys are really interested in doing marketing to bring in leads, but you might not have a ton of money to spend. A really great, free way to get a lot of leads is by calling realtors. I have a tried-and-true script that I’ll share with you. You’ll get to hear me go through it in real time with a realtor live on the line.

When I cold call realtors, I start off by telling them I’m looking for a deal and then ask for information about the property. You’ll get a good idea of how things flow by listening to this real-world example. If you want access to this script to use in your own business, I’m giving it away for free. Head to SimpleLandKit.com to get your copy.

New wholesalers often get tripped up by two major roadblocks: not having a real estate license and not having money to do deals. Here, I share some tips to help you get around these roadblocks so you can gain traction and grow your business. Some states have rules and regulations that say you have to have your license, but you can also hire realtors or buy the deal yourself. I’ll show you how to work with the rules instead of getting around them.

It also helps to partner with a mentor who can set things up for you. They can help you start off on the right foot and get a good marketing plan in place so you can target the right areas with a ton of activity. Working with a mentor can be a real game-changer in your real estate business, and here, I share how I like to partner with others to do deals.

When my coaching client Josh first got started, he was doing a bunch of marketing, but was forced to put things on hold for a little while because he had a lot going on. He’s currently based in South Asia with his family, and a lot of stuff hit the fan. Now, Josh is picking things back up, and here, we recap how things have been going.

In addition to getting the marketing machine back up and running, Josh’s friend has been doing acquisitions for him. They’ve gotten some deals under contract within the last three weeks, which is pretty cool. Josh and I dive into everything he’s got going on, and we walk through the next steps, how to talk to sellers and realtors, and deal closing tips.
