Brandon,
You wrote “…or via iTunes: all for free” Can you please paste a hyperlink to iTunes? I cannot find it,or maybe it is not available for Poland. Did you upload it already? Thanks Max
Hey Max –
The show will be available on iTunes shortly. Unfortunately, it take a little while (around 24 hours or so, from what we understand) for iTunes to add you. Once they do, we’ll update the post. In fact, I’m about to make a note up top to let people know. Until then, you can listen via the embedded player on the post itself or can download the MP3.
Thanks for the interest!
Max – You can now get the post on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/biggerpockets-podcast-real/id594419649. Thanks again for the interest and please take a minute to rate the podcast when you do subscribe.
RSS link please.
Hey Wendy – we are still getting all the kinks worked out, but this should be the RSS feed:
http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/feed
Can you let me know that it works for you? Thanks!
Worked like a charm! I use BeyondPod on my Android phone. Thanks!
I’m glad to hear that it worked, but what did you think, Wendy?
I try not to judge a podcast until it’s had a few episodes. Since this is your first, I say this with the understanding that you are still working out the kinks. (and I’ve only heard the first 5 minutes so far)
Audio is almost as important as content to me. The audio on the lead in was perfect. Clear and crisp. Josh, your audio was slightly muffled. Clear, but cloudy. Brandon’s audio was clear and crisp. Throughout the podcast there was clipping, almost like call waiting was beeping in. It didn’t happen during the lead in.
Marty was a great guest! Humble man with lots to teach us.
If you ever run out of content, I would be happy to have to cover some threads from the forum.
Hey Wendy –
We just got accepted into iTunes. Here’s the link:

Hey guys – first of all, I am super excited that you’re venturing into the podcast world. I am starving for high quality podcasts, and am hopeful that you’ll put out some good ones!
Question: when I click the “download” link, it opens a new window with the file playing, but it doesn’t actually start a download onto my machine, or take me to a link where I’m able to download it – unless I’m missing something? Please advise – thanks.
Hey Daniel,
Try “right clicking” on Download and select “Save Link As” or something similar (I’m on a Mac, and that’s the option I have… a PC should have a similar choice) and let me know if that works for ya.
Hey Daniel –
It looks like the other guys have given you some good advice on downloading. The podcast is now officially on iTunes. You can subscribe at:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/biggerpockets-podcast-real/id594419649
Thanks again for the interest!
@Daniel: If you right click on the “Download” link, you can click “Save Link As” which will then save it to your machine as an mp3 file. Hope this helps!
Haha thanks Tim! Great minds…
I love that my initial impression of Marty, when we first met in person at last year’s BP convention, was spot on. This podcast is knowledge, expertise, and experience on parade.
Awesome, Jeff! I’m not sure how you remember the BP Summit, but I’m glad you have fond memories of Marty at the very least. Thanks for the feedback!
Great Podcast guys!
Thanks to Marty for coming on and sharing his expertise and putting his failures out there for everyone to learn from. It takes a different type of investor to look at ones failures and to learn from it and more so to share the lessones learned to others.
Can’t wait til the next one.
Glenn
Awesome feedback, Glenn. It was definitely brave of Marty to share this story with everyone. We’re glad to have had the opportunity to talk with him.
Guys, first off congratulations! Also awesome episode? I cant wait to listen to more BiggerPocket members and all of your episodes. So who are all on the future podcast guest list?
Thanks so much, John! We’re excited to have a great interested audience of people like yourself. I can’t hint to future guests yet, but perhaps in the future we’ll do something like that.
Next Thursday we’ll be releasing the next one, so stay tuned!
Excited to listen to this at work today!
Hey Jeffrey – Did you end up listening? What are your thoughts? We look forward to your feedback!
Nice job! Content was great, and I really like having the links to content posted right with the audio clip. Maybe next week I’ll head over to iTunes to try it.
Thanks Kris! I’ve always thought that links help a lot – and I’m surprised more people don’t use them! Also – did you notice the “Tweetable Topics” section? I’m a big fan of that too, because I’m kinda a Twitter junkie!
Don’t forget to leave us an iTunes review! Thanks for listening and commenting!
This was AWESOME!! The first time I have heard anyone say, “Just find Deals!” Now, I KNOW what my focus is!! Do the things that will help me FIND deals, first and foremost! YES! Thank you so much for this! I wish the 3 of you would write a non-nonsense, cut the fluff, guide to wholesaling, cause that’s the best rubber to the road advice I’ve read! Thanks again!
n
Hey Nchole – thank you! I, too, learned a lot being able to pick Marty’s brain! He knows his stuff. This was a super nice comment – and I wouldn’t complain if you left a similar one on iTunes …
Thanks Nichole!
Hey Nichole –
Thanks for the great feedback! We really appreciate it. I’m not sure if you’ve taken the time to read through the articles here on the BiggerPockets Blog or if you’ve spent any time on our forums, but if you do, you’ll find a ton of great content like you did in the podcast. As for your idea . . . don’t worry — we’ve got something up our sleeves!
Last thing, please do take the time to stop by iTunes and leave the podcast a review. Every one helps!
I’ll look forward to seeing you on the main BiggerPockets site and hope to see you contributing on the forums.
Good information thanks. Ordering the book today.
Thanks Derek!
That’s great to hear, Derek. Enjoy!
Great talk! I’m an investor and I’ve been meaning to get my license. I needed the extra push so great tip. Keep the solid speakers coming!

I love the honesty! Its so refreshing to hear the truth about this business not some overpriced and inaccurate “guru” fluff.
Thanks Sky! Make sure to check out our second show as well . . . we’re going to be putting this show on for the foreseeable future, so get ready for a ton of great learning from people who are actually doing it!
Gosh I think I’ve just fallen in love. Thanks for sharing honest and frank information. I’m brand new, trying to figure out where to start, out a couple hundred bucks to gurus, and just amazed by BiggerPockets. Again, a big Thank You! I’m off to go make myself a member.

Hey Mark – Thanks so much for the comment! I’m glad you like the site and enjoyed the podcast. Be sure to check out the next episode as well . . . we’ve got a lot more to come!

Best, Josh
Wow. What a great podcast. Everything Marty said hit home with me. I am going into real estate understanding that it will take education and a lot of hard work to succeed, just like he said. What an inspirational and motivating story Marty has. To go from a net worth of 8 million to -2 million must of been devastating. I’m sure many people would not have been able to handle that, but Marty makes it clear that you can get through any “rough patch” (to understate it a bit) if you remain persistant. I look forward to the day when I have $8 million to lose! I’ll make sure I check out that book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and again, awesome podcast. I will certainly listen to them all.
Terry
I’ll blame me for Josh’s sound – I had the levels too high and didn’t realize it until we were finishing! Oops! Compare next week’s with this one, and let us know if you notice a difference. Not sure about the clipping – I’ll check into it
Thanks Wendy for the feedback!
Josh,
My mistake about the clipping. My player is doing it to all feeds. Odd, first time it’s ever done this and it had to be when I was listening to a new podcast. Sorry.
Also, I mistyped earlier. If you ever run out of content, I would be happy if you discussed threads from the forum.
Hey Wendy – No problem on that . . . there were some minor sound issues and I thought they were amplified for you for some reason. I’m glad to hear there isn’t a problem.
I don’t think we’ll ever run out of content. With hundreds of thousands of topics on BiggerPockets to choose from, I think we’ll be okay for a little while at least!
Thanks again for the feedback!
