• "If you do it right, you only got to make a million dollars once, or make a half a million dollars once, or make $200,000 once. You don't got to do it over and over again if you build it up and invest it right. You choose at what level you want to start investing." - David Alexander
• "But the problem is what happens nowadays is when they start wholesaling, they just want to get better at wholesaling. And I'll explain that whole theory. People have a tendency to get more detailed into something instead of having growth. So they want to build a system. They want to build a system around it so they work less. But all of a sudden, they start building the system. And now the system eats up more money." - David Alexander
• "Everyone literally is just helping each other. It's a pretty special feeling, which is, I think very rare. Cause there's a lot, I mean, there's a lot of people in the investing space that just want to get your money." - Avi Rasowsky

QUOTES

• "But for me as a lender, a deal is anything that involves financing and real estate. And to me, it's the art of the deal. That's so exciting for me because whether you're a wholesaler, a rehabber, a new construction, a developer, or a note buyer, it's all about how you set the deal up, what the terms are, what's your buying strategy, what's your exit strategy. All of those things have to be taken into account on any deal you do." - Wendy Sweet
• "Every single time, I'm learning something new. And my rule on real estate deals is something always goes wrong. I just don't know what it's going to be yet. And sometimes a lot of things go wrong and you plow through them all. But as long as you're learning and getting more wisdom with the experience, I think that's the key." - Avi Rasowsky
• "I want to help them get out of it because it's hard, going through stuff like that. It's stressful. It happens to all of us, but it's not the end of the world. And if you can keep your stress at bay and understand that this too shall pass, I'll figure this out, your head clears up and you can start seeing what it is you should be doing." - Wendy Sweet

QUOTES

• “In the deal pen, you might know the answer to something as basic as how to download a list of pre-foreclosure properties from your county, but do you have the intelligence required to dig into other factors that might help you eliminate significant time wasted on properties that will never turn into a deal? Oftentimes that guidance can come from savvy real estate investors who've been there before you.”
• “We'll dive into a wide variety of topics, such as how to find deals, how to fund deals, how to facilitate deals, and how to focus on the right deals for you. When it comes to finding deals, we'll talk about where to look, why off-market is so much different than on-market deals, why people even get rid of properties in the first place, and for example, what some of the common themes are from distressed property owners, such as the five Ds.”
• “We'll also talk about how to focus on the right deals for you. So how to build your business from the ground up, how to find your own path in the off-market real estate investing space, and how to ultimately master your niche. Because once you figure out your path, you'll become better and better at it with repetition.”
