Mike Makredes is one of our High 6 Associates from Fresno, California. He’s been in sales throughout his career, and Mike now works in the agricultural industry.  He handles the sales of over 12 million cases of produce, worth about $150 million per year. So, he understands the financing aspect of loans and things like that.  Sure, his current field has nothing to do with real estate. And Mike didn’t even have any real estate experience before coming to us.  The fantastic thing about Mike’s investment journey is that he jumped straight into becoming a High 6 Associate. He saw that other High 6...

What is your commitment to creating a positive learning experience for yourself? I asked because I want to share with you my experience in this area. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to spend time with entrepreneurs and highly successful people. From Peter Lowe’s events in the 90s to Dan Kennedy’s and Tony Robbins’ seminars in the 2000s, I was out there learning from the best. And that was by my choice. In fact, I could go back even further to my college days when I listened to cassette tapes nonstop in my car. And during those times, I was constantly challenged...

Before we managed to scale our business to what it is today, we started out as a family company buying and selling. We then moved into the coaching and mentoring business later on. It took a lot of work before we were able to claim niche authority. Over the years, we produced a couple of courses and expanded our network of Associates around the country. We also traveled to speaking engagements, did webinars, and even shared our knowledge in a podcast. All of these things combined, along with the good feedback, helped us become the authority. And without sugarcoating it, it also...

Is a recession on the horizon or not? Who’s to say? No one really knows the answer. But that doesn’t stop the media from sending everyone into a frenzy. After all, all you hear on the news these days is talk about the recession. It’s no wonder that perhaps you, like many other real estate investors, feel a certain unease about the real estate market. It’s safe to say most people are wondering how to prepare for the next recession. When people wonder what the market will look like, they’re missing the point. It’s because there is no “one market”. For...

When you’re an expert in only one area, uncertainty and an ever-evolving environment can feel scary. The real estate market constantly changes after all. And if you’re focused on wholesale and rehabs as your niche, this raises some questions. Is real estate wholesaling worth it? Will rehabs be as popular when the market dives or construction sinks? How hot is it now? And the ever-popular – should you try to become an expert in another niche, or is staying in your box the best thing for you? With this line of thinking, you might be convinced that the most logical move...

I have something controversial to say. It might just be my opinion, but I think you'll see what I mean by the end of this…There is no such thing as a self-made person. (And I'm a perfect example.) I didn't come from money, and I didn't get involved in real estate until later in life. A lot of people might describe me as a "self-made" man because I went from being a bartender and I worked my way up the ladder to get where I am today. I put a lot of hard work in to get to where I am…...

As with most businesses, knowing how to get real estate leads in a hot market is an important part of the terms (creative financing) niche. If you can't generate leads, you'll never be able to take on new deals. We have a number of tried and tested systems for generating leads that work nine times out of ten. But what happens when those systems dry up? Or there's a lull in the market for whatever reason which typically is that it’s a hotter than normal market for sellers and they’re moving their properties more readily. The simple answer is… You need...

A lot of people like to start their day with an easy task so they can knock out something small and get moving. I'm here to put an end to that. It's time for each and every one of us to do the hard things first. Why? Because that's when we have the most energy and focus. We have the ability to change the entire day by getting a major win first thing in the morning. That moves us forward and we can keep it going throughout the day. But more importantly, it means that we are always going to get the...
