The Anchorage, Alaska Real Estate Market-the Land of Opportunity?
Joe Bell is a real estate agent and investor in the Anchorage, Alaska Real Estate market. The population is less than 300,000 people. Compare this with the metro population of Chicago at 8 million, or even Atlanta with 6 million, and you might wonder just how much opportunity could exist in a smaller city like this.

Episode: Anchorage Alaska Real Estate-Developing Million Dollar Homes with Joe Bell
Guest: Joe Bell is the author of Assets, Acquisitions, & Abundance: A Guide to Building True Wealth & Legacy through Real Estate. Joe is also a Real Estate Agent from Anchorage Alaska. Joe used to run a billion dollar/year brokerage business before dedicating his primary focus to investing, building new homes, and helping others find the way to long term wealth
Big Idea: “You’re in the Business of Real Estate to BUY REAL ESTATE.” Joe’s experience running a billion dollar brokerage business revealed too many agents generated solid commission income their entire career, but found themselves without assets later in life as retirement loomed. He developed Legacy Beyond Listings to help real estate professionals see the opportunity in buying & selling instead of simply transacting. Of course this comes with some risk. This past March, Joe was preparing to break ground on a million dollar new construction deal. As Covid began shutting down the world, his $900K in funding disappeared, leaving him holding the bag on the half-started, high stakes project. Think he was able to pull it off? You’ll have to check out the episode to find out!
Transactions are Like Crack. Do it Once & You Can Never Stop...
Fix & flip investors, wholesalers, & even real estate agents typically begin their career by closing a deal. That's where it all starts. Then they discover they have to close another deal, and yet another to keep the income machine moving. It's like being on a treadmill where you can never stop running. If you stop doing transactions, the income also stops. I know this because it's my experience.
I've been in the business of flipping houses since 2006. This past year we bought & sold 283 houses. We are running FAST on that treadmill to keep the income machine working. Contrast this "transactional" method with that of buy & hold investor whose goal is purchasing and controlling real estate or the long term.
The buy & hold investor eventually reaches a certain scale and can stop a acquiring new deals. Over time, as rental rates rise, the buy & hold investor reaches a point where they can sit back and simply manage the portfolio and live on the income. My path in real estate investing provides plenty of income, but automatic momentum if I were to stop doing transactions. I'm hooked, and I will not stop. Truth be told, I LOVE flipping houses & transforming neighborhoods. For me, this business stopped being about the money a long time ago.
Buying & Holding Assets is Like a Healthy Diet & Exercise
When I was in college I had a friend with a wealthy father. I grew up broke and assumed anyone who was rich just had a lot of money. When I asked him, "How much money does your dad have?" He answered, "It's not about how much money you have. It's about how many assets you own & operate effectively" It's taken me years to fully grasp the truth here. Now my goals aren't solely around how much income I can genera(continued)
