    From 100 Flips/Yr to Selling 500 Rentals: How Xander Stays Ahead of Market Shifts

    After building a rental portfolio of 300 houses and selling 500 turnkey rentals, Xander made a bold move: he downsized his business—on purpose. Most investors are focused on scaling, but Xander saw the writing on the wall—tightening margins, rising rates, and burnout—and chose to pivot. We talked about what signals told him it was time to shift, how he sold off his property management company, and why he’s now focused on lean operations and hard money lending. If you want to know how to stay ahead of a shifting market or you’ve ever wondered whether all the growth is worth it, this is a r conversation you’ll want to hear.   Mentioned in this episode: Think and Grow Rich – https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/…/think-and-grow-rich/ Investor Fuel Mastermind – https://investorfuel.com Wize Hire  – https://www.wizehire.com) Xander's Carrot Site  – https://crofmaryland.com/   Key Quotes: “You’ve got to look at revenue per employee… Bare minimum should be $300,000 per employee.” “Instead of buying rentals ourselves, we began buying houses, renovating them, and selling them as turnkey rental properties.” “Every business owner on this call… knows everyone wants to make more money. Inflation is real… all these forces hitting at once... There’s nothing wrong with scaling back.” “Hard money lending allows us to spend less than 10 hours per deal—and still make solid returns.”   About Xander: Alexander Cruz is a Baltimore native, a real estate expert, and the owner of CR of Maryland. Since 2012, he has led the purchase, renovation, and resale of over 1,600 homes across the Baltimore metro area and surrounding counties. With deep local knowledge and a commitment to improving communities, Alexander has built CR of Maryland into one of the most trusted home-buying companies in Maryland. Under his leadership, CR of Maryland helps homeowners sell their homes quickly and easily, offering fair cash offers with no fees, no repairs, and no hassle. Alexander takes pride in offering real solutions to sellers, whether they are facing foreclosure, going through probate, dealing with a vacant property, or simply ready to move on. He lives in Maryland with his wife, Lauren, and their two children. Outside of real estate, he’s a dedicated family man who enjoys time on the water, cheering on Baltimore sports, and supporting local service projects. ***Join us live, Thursdays at 11 AM Pacific for the Evergreen Marketing Live Q&A: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity/ ***Need to grow as a leader?

    Inside a Buyer's Mind: What Wholesalers Need to Know to Sell More Deals with Will and Veronica

    Most wholesalers focus on finding deals — but overlook what it really takes to sell them. Will and Veronica Pritchett retired at 43 on rental income, and now buy most of their properties from wholesalers. They’re giving you a rare look inside a buyer’s mind—what makes them jump on a deal instantly, what makes them walk away, and why trust, timing, and relationships often matter more than flashy marketing. If you want to close more deals, keep your best buyers, and build a reputation that lasts, this is a perspective you can’t afford to miss.   Key Quotes: “Mass email blasts are just noise. Call me with the deal you know I’ll love.” “We don’t care if you make $5,000 or $50,000—if the deal works, we all win.” “The best wholesalers know our buy box, and they don’t waste our time.” “Your reputation travels fast in this business. Think about the long game.” “Trust and relationships will get you repeat buyers every single time.”   Mentioned in this episode: Carrot CRM — https://carrot.com/crm Carrot Summit — https://carrot.com/summit The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney — https://www.franklincovey.com/the-4-disciplines Lifeonaire by Steve Cook & Shaun McCloskey — https://lifeonaire.com George Antone’s The Wealthy Code — https://georgeantone.com ***Join us live, Thursdays at 11 AM Pacific for the Evergreen Marketing Live Q&A: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity/ ***Need to grow as a leader?
