What is the most valuable resource you have in real estate investing? Is it your facebook ads? Is it your leads? Is it the team you’ve built from the ground up? Although all of those are important, none of those are as important as YOUR TIME. I’ve been teaching and coaching investors for a lot of
I had a conversation the other day with one of my student that had me laughing so hard I was literally rolling on the floor. But you’re gonna need a little background first. There’s a guy going around town peddling “probate certifications” and to be completely honest I don’t think he’s ever done an actual

Apparently, homeowners in Minnesota who don’t want their pet goldfish anymore and can’t bring themselves to flushing it down the toilet are releasing them into the wild in local lakes and streams. Goldfish are
Every now and again, I search online to see what national holiday it is. There are some really weird ones like National Cuddle Up Day (January 6th) or National Blueberry Popsicle Day (September 2nd). Today may not technically be National Probate Prospect Day, but it is New Conversations Day. And that’s just about as close of a fit as
We did it! Ernie Jr. and I finally made it back to base camp! I’m not sure what the exact mileage was, but I’m pretty sure we put in over 100 miles with full packs on our back over the past week and a half. I’ve gotta tell you though, it was NOT easy. At
