Although seemingly straightforward, the real estate industry is full of pitfalls that may prevent many from investing. There are challenges to growing your real estate business, but you can overcome them. Monica just finished our QLS self-guided course, in which a lot of what she heard was foreign to her. That’s not surprising since real estate was new to her. But, as she moved through the program, Monica began to recognize the key ideas and language. And it wasn’t long before she could completely follow everything we were saying. Now, why am I telling you this? First, real estate is not easy, particularly if...

Real estate is your chance to say goodbye to the 9-to-5. But before you can make money fast in real estate, you need to understand how to do it right.

Young, inexperienced, and broke? This doesn’t mean you can’t start a career in real estate. Recently, I had a special guest on my podcast - my son-in-law Zach Beach, who happens to work with us. And I’d like to tell you his success story. You see, Zach comes from a great family and he took the traditional route of going to college. In fact, he only went to college after his high school teacher said that he couldn’t do it. As it turned out, Zach knew that the corporate world wasn’t for him when he graduated college. So, he started working as a bartender. At...

There are no age limits in real estate. Even veterans of the industry can still learn some new tricks and pivot their careers. Bill Reich was in commercial real estate for close to 40 years. And at the start of his career, he did office sales and leasing. But he switched to investment sales later on. And it wasn’t long before Bull started making acquisitions. And he did it in partnership with investors from the Bay Area. Bill also began dabbling in business development in commercial real estate at some point. Back in 2006, he was already starting to think about retirement. After...

Your career path will largely determine your income. And a real estate career is among the lucrative ones. But how much effort will it take you to become a real estate professional? I found an old internet survey that caught my attention recently. It featured certain career paths that are widely believed to be where people can earn the most money. But what surprised me was that the perks that come with being a real estate professional seem to outweigh those professions. What do I mean? For example, you may decide to become a doctor, which means you need to spend around nine years...

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...
