    Wholesale Deals, Faster: Inside InvestorBase w/ Daniel McClam & Rafael Cortez.

    𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱? Rafael sits down with Daniel McClam—Owner of Hawks Real Estate & Co-Founder of InvestorBase—to break down a no-fluff dispo playbook: ranking the most-likely buyers, phone-first outreach that 2–3x’s contact rates, and the systems that keep your pipeline moving even when the market tightens. Daniel scaled Hawks Real Estate to 10+ deals/month across 10 states with 12 institutional buyers, then co-founded InvestorBase, a platform that surfaces the most-likely buyers from a network of 10M+ nationwide. We cover: 1️⃣ Why targeted call cadences beat mass blasts. 2️⃣ Building buyer lists from real transaction history (flippers/holders nearby). 3️⃣ The buy-box + phone combo and simple cadence (double dial → VM → text). 4️⃣ Hiring ahead of growth and avoiding costly mis-hires. 5️⃣ The ICE framework (Impact, Confidence, Effort/Cost) for product & ops decisions. 6️⃣ 2025 dispo reality: spreads, soft costs, and what’s actually working. Key takeaway: Treat dispo like sales. Rank buyers, call the right ones, and run a disciplined cadence—broadcasts are noise; conversations close. Timestamps / Chapters: 00:00 – Intro & Daniel’s background. 04:30 – Hawks → InvestorBase: solving the buyer-finding bottleneck. 10:45 – 10M+ buyers ≠ spray & pray: how to rank “most-likely” buyers. 16:20 – Call cadence that 2–3x’s contacts (double dial, VM, text). 22:10 – Prioritizing by real transaction history (who buys here). 29:05 – Hiring, org design, and avoiding bad hires. 36:40 – ICE framework for roadmap & operations. 44:15 – What’s working in dispo right now + action steps. 51:30 – Where to connect & next steps.
