There are so many things to think about when starting a real estate business. Whether you’re hiring people to help you, getting your marketing strategy set up, or automating processes, you want to make sure you’re building a business that actually serves you. If you don’t have that vision in mind, you run the risk of building a job that drains you instead of a business that offers you the freedom to live the life you truly want.

Building a business that isn’t a job starts with you being able to wear the hats of every key position. Doing this allows you to know exactly who you’ll need to hire as key players that allow you to work on the business instead of in it. Documenting your processes as early as possible will help you transition tasks smoothly as you’re building out your team. No one is going to create your business for you. You have to be in a mindset where nothing is going to stop you. If you want to make a lot of money in this business, you’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone. When you apply yourself and work hard in the right areas, you will be rewarded.

What’s Inside:

—How to build a business versus a job that drains you.
—The three decisions to make when setting up a successful real estate business.
—What to consider when building out your team.

Welcome to the very first episode of 2022 – Happy New Year! Last time, we talked about goal setting, being prepared, and knowing your “why” when it comes to starting a real estate business. Once you have the foundation and you’re ready to take action, being brilliant at the basics of real estate is what’s going to allow you to build sustainable momentum. We all head into the new year excited and enthusiastic, and we want to maintain that throughout the entire year.

There are four things you need to be good at to master the basics: marketing, talking to sellers, making offers, and following up. The most important thing here is that, as long as all of these things are happening in your business consistently, they can be done by you or someone else, like a VA. When talking to sellers, you want to make sure you figure out what their motivation is for selling first. Then you’ll want to get their timeline to find out what kind of urgency is behind it. Next, you’ll need to know the condition of the property so you can get a good indication of the price point. Lastly, you’ll come up with the price so you can then create and deliver your offer.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and I’m wishing you all a very happy new year! The subject today is setting goals. Having your game plan ready to go will allow you to start getting results right away as we head into 2022. 

The first thing you’ll need to get clear on is what is your “why”. Real estate can be challenging and there will be times when you become frustrated. Knowing why you’re doing this is going to keep you motivated and focused. From there, you can start building short-, medium-, and long-term goals. Your long-term goals will be tied to your overall vision for your business. Writing things down and then actually creating them is so powerful.

Once you build out your goals, they will come alive – and it’s all about executing your plan.

I wanted to bring my clients Fred and Lateresa on the show to talk about where they are in the program and share the successes they’ve been having. The two of them have been on our calls consistently and doing some great work for about four or five months or so. They just moved from Virginia to Texas and have a lot on their plates but are still sticking with it.

Fred and Lateresa put together a direct mail campaign and through some partnerships, they were able to keep it running even while they were in the middle of their move. Life happens and it was important for me to help them keep their efforts going. Their pipeline is solid at the moment and they’re also working on getting set up with texting efforts to help with follow-up. Hiring a VA is the next step on their list as well as strategizing to make the most out of that extra help.

Being on the group coaching calls has helped Fred and Lateresa stay encouraged and motivated, which is something I always love to hear. With so many different situations and scenarios, it’s important to hear what’s working out for others. A lot of people go into real estate thinking it’s going to be easy because all you hear about are the successes. Even though Fred and Lateresa made $40K on a deal, they worked hard for 6 months to get there. Always enjoy the wins when they’re simple and know that hard work really does always pay off in the end.

Pepe Campos is a client of mine and I wanted to bring him on to pick his brain on a great deal he just did. He’s a civil engineer who got into real estate a couple of years ago. Pepe became interested in lease options, started exploring on his own, heard about my marketing systems, which led him to come work with me. He really knows the value of being consistent and he couldn’t have done his recent deal without it.

Pepe breaks down how he made $35,000 on an assignment after paying a seller on a creative deal that had been on the market for 6 months and didn’t sell. Your first option might not always work with your buyer or seller so it’s up to you to get creative and transition to some new ideas. He also created a great sense of trust with the owner in this deal and stayed honest when presenting different creative financing alternatives.

Getting into a confident mindset that you’re capable of closing deals can take you far in real estate, especially when you’re just starting out. So many people want instant gratification and money for doing little to no work, and that kind of attitude doesn’t make things happen. Pepe is proof that when you stick with it, you can walk away with a lot more than you bargained for.
