Yesterday I took two of my kids with me to look at some deals that are under contract. It was a pretty fun day. They’re always asking what I do all day at work so it was exciting to explain the business. Who knows, maybe they’ll follow in my footsteps someday. One big lesson they
Financing can be one of the most difficult parts of real estate investing. What most people don’t realize is that they have direct access to millions in private money hiding within your probate records. This month I am moving over 2.1 million in probate and trust real estate from a combined listing, and wholesaling transactions.
Last September I almost got stuck in Florida during Hurricane Ian. I flew into Tampa on Sunday and found out Monday morning that they were evacuating the city. The destruction dealt to the golf coast of Florida was incredible. Homes were destroyed, businesses ruined, and worst of all 148 people died. But it sounds like
The real estate market has been doing some funky things lately. Contrary to what everyone thought, rising interest rates haven’t really abated demand. But the changes in the market have opened some opportunities. Here in Los Angeles County there are still a few properties listed for under 250k. And one of them happens to be
One of the best ways that I’ve been able to dominate my real estate business without having to chase and beg for business is by cloning my best sellers. Let’s take Jerry for example. I’ve had 25 transactions that I can trace back to this single individual. Jerry was an individual who I helped through
Aretha Franklin, who passed away 5 years ago, is arguably one of the greatest female voices of all time. In addition to being known as the “Queen of Soul”, she has sold over 75 million records over her career. What most people don’t know is that she was also very controlling of her wealth. She
So many people enjoy this long weekend without giving any thought as to what the holiday of Memorial Day is really about. If you have served our country to protect and preserve our freedom, or have lost a loved one who gave the ultimate sacrifice, thank you. If you haven’t served our country, please pray
Yesterday I celebrated my daughter’s college graduation. Victoria is a tenacious young woman who dug in and worked hard to receive her bachelor’s degree at the tender age of 20. And I’m one proud papa – she graduated Summa Cum Laude which is the highest recognition a student can receive. It is only issued to
This weekend my youngest daughter, Rebecca, played violin at a retirement center. She wasn’t alone. There were a bunch of other kids who joined in. It’s a nice outreach program that brings an extra ray of sunshine into the resident’s day. As I sat there watching the kids play, I was struck by the dichotomy
Australia is an odd country. Their creepy, crawly critters are enormous and scary, most of the country is a desert, and it seems like people get lost in the backcountry all the time. Just the other day a 48 year old woman named Lilian took a wrong turn, got stuck in the mud, had no
I love Utah. It’s a beautiful state and one of my favorite places to visit. The small towns, rugged hikes, and breathtaking scenery always make me want to come back for more. And it just so happens I’m back in Utah as we speak! But I’m not here on vacation. This week I’m meeting up
Over the years I’ve taught a lot of people from all different walks of life how to work probate. What has amazed me is the range of age of people looking to get into real estate. Lately, I’ve seen more and more folks who are either at retirement age or are getting closer to that
