start a great business and scale their
2:32
business using systems strategies in a
2:34
VA bro and that’s so important man you
2:37
need a VA I think in in the beginning
2:40
we’ve talked about this before in the
2:41
beginning go through the rep the
2:43
repetitions learn what needs to be done
2:45
but having a VA is is something I would
2:49
say in every business right that most
2:51
businesses that want to like because
2:53
there’s always those those those tasks
2:55
that you know you don’t want to spend
2:56
all your time doing but um yeah man it’s
2:59
so important and you don’t want to spend
3:01
time researching how to you know put
3:02
together a spreadsheet
3:04
um all that type of stuff guys vase can
3:06
handle for you so don’t waste your time
3:07
going to YouTube University knowing how
3:09
to put together a PowerPoint
3:10
presentation or you know that’s not
3:12
stuff that you need to be worried about
3:13
let your va’s handle that guys exactly
3:16
100
3:17
so uh what I want to talk to everyone
3:20
today about is a deal that I did that it
3:24
just closed two days ago was a uh the
3:26
wholesale not a wholesale it was a fee
3:28
not even a fee what am I talking about
3:29
it wasn’t a wholesale deal I flipped
3:30
this house and it was a about 41 000
3:33
deal a forty one thousand dollars in
3:34
chain change so I want to explain to you
3:37
how I leverage my network and use the
3:40
information I I saw in batch to help me
3:42
make the right decision on what to do
3:44
with this property so this is the story
3:47
of uh the deal that I did all right is
3:50
everybody ready so I’m gonna share my
3:52
screen and kind of walk you guys through
3:53
what happened uh in this story but I
3:56
need to present really quick
3:58
and this might have happened to a lot of
4:00
you because of the market shift interest
4:02
rates going up and maybe it will happen
4:04
in the lives again as we invest because
4:07
we know that the market it just changes
4:09
you know it’s not always going to be the
4:11
same and that’s why we get paid so much
4:13
is because we know how to navigate it
4:14
you know if you don’t if you always stay
4:16
the same you’re gonna you know be out of
4:18
business and Sean I know you you know
4:20
what I’m talking about like if you just
4:21
stay stagnant yeah like especially with
4:23
marketing like you know texting if for
4:26
rvm texting like if that’s all you did
4:27
and it’s gotten a little bit more
4:28
difficult you’ve had this you’ve had to
4:30
Pivot a little bit 100 guys 100 if all
4:33
you guys did was you know Direct Mail
4:34
guys you had to Pivot you know you got
4:37
to change as the market changes you make
4:39
adjustments sometimes you come back to
4:40
those older strategies but you have to
4:42
be aware of what’s going on in the
4:43
market currently and what works today
4:45
yeah so I want to tell you guys how I
4:47
was able to Pivot on this deal and and
4:49
go from making zero dollars to making
4:52
forty one thousand okay so let’s let’s
4:54
break it down we bought this house and
4:57
when the mar when Utah we’re in Utah by
4:59
the way and it was hot we bought it I
5:01
think it was uh you know I think May of
5:04
last year or April like you know a
5:06
couple months before the interest rates
5:08
went up and we were hopeful like most
5:10
people were like oh yeah it’s going to
5:11
keep going so we bought this thing at a
5:13
real at a good price you know and we and
5:16
the property was um when we purchased it
5:18
it was almost flipped like they the
5:21
person that had it was like doing a
5:22
little bit of work on the floors they
5:24
put the new kitchen countertops so we
5:25
just had to go in there and do a little
5:27
bit of work
5:28
um it wasn’t too crazy uh of the work
5:31
that needed to be done and actually this
5:33
Mighty these actually might be pictures
5:35
of what um what I did but anyway the
5:39
house needed a little bit of work so we
5:41
put in the time we put in the effort we
5:42
started flipping it so what happened in
5:45
Utah is the interest rates in across the
5:47
United States went up from what like was
5:48
it like 3.5 3.7 to like six percent yeah
5:52
right away it was crazy which basically
5:55
means that you can afford half the house
5:58
you can you can’t overnight overnight
6:01
yeah so a house that we had that we were
6:04
looking to sell it for arv of for 500
6:07
000 went down and we were getting offers
6:09
around like 420 410 a lot of seller
6:12
finance offers as well where they wanted
6:14
to put like 10 down 20 down 30 down so
6:18
we were really exploring every option
6:19
and I was like man I know we can make
6:23
more and we literally just you know
6:25
missed the boat I guess I wish we could
6:26
have done this sooner but the time it
6:27
was wrong so what I said is I reached
6:30
out to my network of P of investors in
6:32
my area and this is what I’m I want
6:34
everyone to know is like you don’t have
6:35
to do this alone I reached out to the
6:37
network investors that I knew and they
6:39
were I asked them hey you guys are
6:40
facing the same thing what are you doing
6:42
to like you know overcome this and a lot
6:45
of them are saying we gotta offload
6:47
quick just sell it at a loss or just go
6:49
when others were saying cash out refi or
6:51
just rate and term refinance and uh just
6:54
hold it until the market goes back so
6:57
that’s what we did we in term refinanced
6:59
it we got a a loan at like you know
7:01
certain percentage even though it was
7:03
high it was better than the hard money
7:04
loan that we had on the flip and uh we
7:07
waited and it’s it been about six seven
7:09
months and we just sold the house two
7:11
days ago for four six I think it was 455
7:14
or 460.
7:17
yeah but you know kind of sucked though
7:19
because the hard money while we had it
7:21
until we rate and turned it got pretty
7:23
high you know so we we were really
7:25
looking okay so can you unfold that for
7:27
for everybody out there and they think
7:28
hey explain how much how much what did
7:30
you get on that loan what was that first
7:32
hard money loan looking like what were
7:34
the you know terms conditions and then
7:36
how did you follow back up you know like
7:38
you said with the with the the second
7:39
alternative that actually closed it out
7:41
how did that all work yeah yeah so I
7:43
don’t remember the exact numbers that we
7:45
got uh on the hard money like how much
7:46
we had to borrow but I know is 12 and
7:49
two points which is usually what
7:51
everyone has to borrow when they’re
7:52
doing a flip right maybe you can get a
7:53
little bit better on the the annual
7:55
interest but uh or points but that’s
7:58
what we have points so what was
8:00
happening is because we had borrowed I
8:02
think 340 400 000 can’t really uh
8:06
remember no I think it was like 330 is
8:08
what we had borrowed the monthly payment
8:10
on it was I think it was like three
8:12
thousand dollars a month and it was like
8:14
a hundred dollars a day so every every
8:16
month that we had we were waiting with
8:18
this flip it was costing us a lot of
8:20
money right So eventually like I said we
8:23
did a rate and term refinance like if
8:25
you if nobody knows what this stuff
8:27
means a rate in term refinance is
8:29
basically if I understand how to explain
8:31
it well I’m not like a mortgage lender
8:33
it’s just the bank taking over the same
8:36
amount that is owed to the hard money
8:38
lender and giving you another you know
8:40
their rate that they can do and when you
8:42
do a cash out refi you usually have
8:44
equity in the deal there was not a lot
8:46
of equity in this deal so that we could
8:48
pull our money out so we had to do a
8:50
rate and term which was fine and the
8:51
interest rate we got was decent so we
8:54
did that we rented it out we waited
8:57
um and uh yeah so that that’s basically
9:00
what we’re able to do to get it done and
9:03
um yeah then we sold it so I just want
9:06
everyone to know that like if you’re in
9:08
a situation where um you know you have a
9:11
property that’s
9:12
not moving right now the best move might
9:15
be just to you know do a rate and term
9:18
refinance to uh refinance out of it and
9:20
rent it out until the market comes back
9:23
if you’re doing flips now this is the
9:25
beautiful thing about wholesaling you
9:27
don’t got to worry about this stuff
9:28
indeed right you don’t have to worry
9:30
about any of that and that’s that’s the
9:32
biggest problem bro is I was wholesaling
9:34
the whole time and then I started
9:36
getting seeing all these big checks
9:37
these flippers were making just by
9:39
throwing stuff on the MLS and I was like
9:41
yeah let’s freaking do it and I got
9:43
caught with my pants down uh on this
9:46
deal and another deal that I didn’t make
9:48
money on so everybody that’s wholesaling
9:50
just know that there’s Beauty to
9:53
wholesaling and there’s less risk than
9:55
holding the property because there can
9:57
be a lot of risk when you hold
9:58
100 percent
10:00
so um so we’re looking at batch leads
10:02
right now I’m just showing everybody
10:03
what the what information we’re able to
10:06
see a lot of it is blanked out just
10:08
because we’re not allowed to show it or
10:09
YouTube will shut us down but uh yeah
10:11
this is the property and we were able to
10:13
kind of make a decision on what we
10:15
thought we would do by refinancing and
10:17
holding it and uh you know if you guys
10:19
haven’t checked out batch leads you
10:20
definitely should because this is one of
10:22
the top actually the top place that I go
10:24
for information about a property whether
10:27
it’s like details of who owns it you
10:30
know MLS data who’s the agent that
10:32
listed it if it was listed tax
10:34
information you can get so much
10:35
information that can help you make a
10:37
decision on what strategy to to do so if
10:40
anyone again if you face what I faced
10:43
there’s a lot of options out there and
10:45
don’t neglect your uh your network your
10:47
circle because they can help you like
10:49
you know I know if you reached out to
10:51
Sean or me you know we’d be willing to
10:53
give you some advice on what you should
10:54
do but staying and wholesaling
10:56
definitely it can help you avoid a lot
10:58
of these other problems 100 100 I just
11:01
want to um add on to that as well I know
11:03
you guys see a lot of the TV shows and
11:05
uh you know flip you know Fix and Flip
11:07
to Millions I don’t know what they’re
11:09
called right they’re just called a lot
11:11
of shows like that but those shows guys
11:13
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong
11:14
with that but what I want everyone to
11:16
understand is that it’s not always as
11:18
pretty as as the production makes it
11:20
look okay remember it’s a production
11:23
um and they want it to look good they
11:24
wanted to to have a good result they
11:26
want it to look exciting for their
11:28
audiences so don’t don’t get caught up
11:30
in in the TV aspect of it make sure that
11:32
you’re doing that you’re understanding
11:34
what is happening locally in your Market
11:35
by partnering with people by networking
11:38
with people figuring out exactly what’s
11:39
really going on and what to truly expect
11:42
in your Market in today’s climate bro so
11:45
powerful what you just said because I
11:46
think we all see the end result and
11:48
people don’t talk about their failures
11:50
you know like they don’t they don’t want
11:51
to put that on blast and I’ll tell
11:53
everyone here there’s another property I
11:55
had in Provo which is South that uh we
11:57
we basically we got rocked you know we
12:00
had it at a price that made sense when
12:02
the the interest rates didn’t shoot up
12:03
and we were flipping it and we couldn’t
12:06
even sell it no one was making the offer
12:08
so we actually had a deed and lieu it
12:10
back to our hard money lender and give
12:11
them fifteen thousand dollars to take it
12:13
back after all the money we had spent on
12:15
repairs and all that crap so we we ate a
12:17
ton of money I think we lost like eighty
12:20
thousand dollars on that deal which in
12:22
total which sucks but I want everyone to
12:24
know that you know you win some and you
12:27
lose some and flippers they look at this
12:30
as like a net a Net game they don’t look
12:32
at like they’re at least the really good
12:33
ones they’re not always looking let me
12:35
crush it on this one and everyone
12:36
obviously they want to but they they
12:39
take okay am I gonna make like average
12:41
what’s do I make what do I make on each
12:43
deal right because sometimes they lose
12:45
and they they take that bet I know a lot
12:48
of flippers that lose money so as
12:49
wholesalers don’t don’t feel like uh you
12:52
know they’re not the flippers you’re
12:55
giving deals to aren’t taking a big risk
12:56
because they are 100 100 do you flip a
13:00
lot Sean or not so much not at all not
13:02
so much that was something that I I
13:04
dabbled in at the beginning of my career
13:06
and that just wasn’t my Lane I
13:08
understood like you say there’s a high
13:10
risk and when I’m able to close a deal
13:11
and make 55 60 000 on it and and I and I
13:15
flipped it to my flipper and he made 50
13:16
60 on it as well I’m like hey hold on
13:18
let me let me stay in my Lane let me
13:20
just be the supplier of those who do
13:22
this and they have the stomach for that
13:24
dude and I was getting a little anxious
13:26
I was getting a little froggy I was like
13:27
yeah I’ll freaking take the 60 and the
13:30
50. let’s go and yeah right because
13:32
because the way things were here in Utah
13:34
is it where they say we’re landlocked
13:36
because we’re in a valley so they’re
13:37
like oh there’s just not that many
13:39
houses for people so my thought was oh
13:42
yeah even if the market corrects like
13:44
it’s going to stay hot here nah man
13:46
people people are like I ain’t paying
13:48
you know three thousand five hundred
13:50
dollars for a half a million dollar
13:51
house that’s a three bedroom two bath
13:53
you know that’s right exactly exactly
13:55
yeah yeah that’s wild so uh one thing I
13:59
want to let everybody know
14:01
I think this is kind of cool I actually
14:04
did a video of the house before we
14:07
flipped it and we’re not going to watch
14:08
the whole thing but I’m just showing you
14:10
guys like the the flipping game it it
14:12
it’s not as um you know as sexy as you
14:17
think it is again because of the what we
14:19
talked about they try to make it yeah
14:21
I’m so glad you’re saying these things
14:23
man I’m so glad you’re saying these
14:24
things Nathan because we never hear that
14:26
you never really hear that like Nathan’s
14:28
saying you only hear the good stuff yeah
14:30
yeah like and I was in this video this
14:33
is the one that we flipped you know I
14:34
was going through showing everybody what
14:36
needed to be done and you don’t know how
14:38
much these repairs actually amount to
14:40
you know you got you got doors trim
14:43
siding
14:44
um you know light fixtures you got to
14:46
make this thing look good especially
14:48
with the market recorrecting like people
14:49
want to buy the nicest stuff they don’t
14:51
want something like a hotel deal
14:53
necessarily unless you price it real
14:54
good
14:55
but uh yeah and and if you make
14:58
something look really good you gotta do
14:59
landscaping you know so we we really
15:02
went all in on this and uh yeah I’m glad
15:04
we made it out but um yeah people just
15:09
be be grateful that wholesaling is is
15:11
exists because we do provide like a
15:14
massive uh value and we provide a lot of
15:17
you know like value to people the to
15:20
Flippers
15:21
a lot of work what we do
15:24
yeah guys they’re spending all their
15:25
time figuring this stuff out fixing
15:27
properties making sure that they’re
15:28
staying abreast to what you know the
15:30
market trends are they don’t necessarily
15:32
have time to go out there you know
15:33
sourcing those deals and finding those
15:35
deals and negotiating those deep
15:36
discounts like we do so never forget or
15:39
never let someone talk into the idea
15:42
that wholesaling isn’t important or it’s
15:44
just you know for like I don’t know but
15:46
you can definitely have a great living
15:47
with wholesaler you can make a six or
15:49
seven figure annually per year
15:51
wholesaling solely so 100 make sure that
15:54
wholesaling is strong and it is your
15:57
foundation if you’re getting started in
15:58
real estate and learn the ins and outs
16:00
of it don’t take the don’t take any
16:02
shortcuts just learn the ins and outs
16:04
get the repetitions in and you’ll thank
16:06
yourself a year or two later when you
16:08
have that as your solid foundation for
16:09
your real estate business 100 so Sean
16:12
before we wrap up I want to ask you for
16:15
a lot of the people that watch I’m
16:17
assuming on batch batch TV they’re
16:19
they’re newer to the software they’re
16:20
newer to wholesaling what advice would
16:22
you give someone who you know just got
16:25
the service and is wanting to get their
16:26
first deal
16:27
guys you got to dive into it take go use
16:30
it go out there pull your list go
16:33
through any training that’s available
16:34
for you use all the the training sources
16:37
which there’s plenty
16:38
um pull your list guys skip Trace that
16:41
list start calling on those numbers
16:43
start negotiating guys you can do all
16:45
that within batch so there’s no need to
16:47
go outside of batch there’s no need to
16:49
understand other tools you can do all
16:51
that that I just stated right in batch
16:52
so there’s no excuses to not get started
16:55
and to not start taking action today
16:57
yeah bro so Sean we all know people they
17:01
want to focus on the things that don’t
17:03
really move the needle because it’s easy
17:04
to focus on those things it’s easy to
17:06
focus on building a website getting a
17:08
business card but it is difficult to
17:10
make that phone call to that seller and
17:12
make that offer what would you say those
17:14
people that are focusing on the ninth
17:16
tenth step like further down the line
17:18
but they just won’t get on a phone call
17:20
they won’t skip they’ll skip Trace that
17:22
list no problem but they won’t call it
17:24
they’re going to look for everything
17:25
else to do what what advice would you
17:27
recommend for people that are in that
17:29
situation you guys guys and guys out
17:32
there you gotta just make it happen you
17:34
have to fail your way forward you have
17:35
to take massive imperfect action guys
17:38
don’t wait listen there’s a book out
17:40
there it’s actually called the five
17:42
second rule by Mel Robbins but it’s a
17:44
five second rule by Mel Robbins guys
17:46
it’s right here
17:47
um I I mentioned this because when you
17:49
have an idea or there’s something that
17:51
you need to do a task guys you got to
17:52
say what is that task call okay call
17:55
five four three two one start dialing
17:58
don’t make any excuses don’t do a bunch
18:00
of research so I gotta know it about the
18:03
property first I gotta get all the
18:04
numbers in order forget all that guys
18:06
have a conversation with these people
18:08
and you’ll discover that most of that
18:10
stuff that you are going to go
18:11
pre-research before that call you’re
18:13
gonna get it on that call they’re gonna
18:15
tell it to you people love to talk and
18:16
you need to dig deep ask what tell me
18:19
about that tell me a little bit more
18:20
about that oh man you had a tenant that
18:22
tore it up uh I’m sure that was horrible
18:24
so what happened exactly yeah guys you
18:26
guys just have conversations man have
18:28
conversations you know a book that I I
18:30
think is really important for
18:31
wholesalers is how to influence how to
18:33
win friends and influence people because
18:35
I think a lot of what we do is we’re
18:37
building relationships you know and if
18:40
you can like yeah sales is really
18:42
important it’s in it’s important to have
18:44
a sales process but if you can just be
18:45
interested in the situation that the
18:47
person’s in and interested in them that
18:49
can go really far uh I know because when
18:51
I was first starting out wholesaling I
18:53
didn’t know what the heck I was doing
18:54
bro but I talked to people and I was
18:56
asking them like about what they were
18:58
going in their life so don’t if don’t
19:00
feel like you need to know everything
19:01
about wholesaling to get a wholesale
19:03
deal find the situation find the
19:06
motivation find out why they’re selling
19:07
that’s I would say that’s my my advice
19:10
for everyone here don’t always feel like
19:12
you got to call and have an offer in
19:13
your head that you’re gonna put your
19:14
offer you you can call them multiple
19:16
times before you even make an offer I
19:18
don’t like making offers on my first
19:19
calls I like to kind of gauge the
19:22
situation see how they’re doing but the
19:24
the cool thing about batch leads is it’s
19:26
a tool that will get you to have
19:28
multiple multiple conversations which
19:30
translates to deals
19:32
100 man like everything everything
19:34
Nathan has shared guys is golden I hope
19:36
you’ve all been taking notes today we we
19:38
poured into you guys um as far as giving
19:40
some great tips on on using the service
19:43
and taking action not letting things get
19:45
in your way not getting in your head not
19:47
not having to understand step nine when
19:49
you’re only on step one guys have faith
19:52
and belief that as you work through the
19:53
process each step will unravel will
19:55
unfold itself and reveal what should be
