@James Masotti glad you enjoyed it!
@chase
@Chase Wippert I'm glad you got some valuable takeaways. What was one thing that stood out to you?
@Antonio Artusa I used to have that initial feeling but then trained my mind to get excited about when I feel discouraged because it means I have higher expectations for myself and I'm striving for something better. Then, once I have that mindset, I apply those tactics that others are doing in my area to successfully close deals.
@Sean Gummer thanks for the shout out and glad you like my podcast. Means a lot.
@Alex Brookbank thanks a lot, hope to see you at our next meetup. Here's a link to it: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/20...
@Dave Van Horn I still use you as a shining example of raising money for the most challenging thing out there, distressed mortgage notes. Looking forward to seeing you at a conference or something like that soon!
@Christopher Newman really glad you liked it. I can count on 1 hand the times I've been called smart and was about to tell you thanks!...but then I realized you didn't call ME smart, you called the EPISODE smart. Shoot! :)
@Jon Klaus thanks a lot Jon. I remember connecting with you on BP a long time ago (relatively speaking) and it's great that we're all growing together. BiggerPockets is a freaking incredible platform and community.
@Tyler Bean glad to hear it!
@David Krulac comments like that coming from you means a whole lot to me. A sincire thank you. And, we've got to get you back on my show soon!
@Zach L. glad to hear it!
@Daray Olaleye thanks for the kind words and I'm grateful for our friendship and partnership in this biz.
@Michael Hajduk grateful you're a listener of my podcast and, yes, I've got a couple comments on that TTU baseball game switch-up. Thanks for mentioning that. I actually was listening to a Tony Robbins video yesterday and he talked about how it's all relative. Ex. If we lose our job then it's terrible...until we lose all of our savings then we don't care as much about our job. But, if we lose a limb (arm, leg, etc.) then we wouldn't care about losing our job or savings....etc. It's all about perspective and maximizing our time here on earth doing our special talent.
@Maurice Bunn ha, well, I'm sure I have written something like you're looking for. Shoot me a message and I'll see if I can find it.
@Elena Moffatt I'm so glad this was a practical guide to help you out! And glad you'll be a new Best Ever Listener!
@Christina Kim glad to hear it and, yes, industry diversity is very important. I don't like any one industry to be more than 25%.
@David Thompson thank you sir! Grateful to be partnering with you. Excited for our closing next Friday and the next closing next month!
@eliot
@Eliot M. really liked you liked the episode and the info. And, grateful you're a listener of my podcast too. You're only stuck with single families if you say you are stuck with single families. If you decide you are evolving to multi families then you will evolve to multi families. Here are some specific ways to get to know people who have money:
- volunteer and become a board member of that non-profit. I was on the Texas Tech Alumni Advisory Board and 2 of my investors on my first deal came from this relationship. Note, you must be genuinely interested in the non-profit's cause. It will be a rewarding experience since you give back to the community while building your network. The reason why you join the board is that it's highly likely other board members will be high-net-worth individuals. I'm also on the Board for Junior Achievement in Cincinnati and have gotten an investor from there too.
- start a local meetup. The first thing I did when I moved to Cincinnati was to start my own meetup. I've done it monthly for two years now. Sometimes 4 people show up. Sometimes 30 people show up. I always show up. The result? I've gotten to know one investor really well and he has invested over $1M in my deals.
@Andrew Syrios thanks a lot. I know you're doing big things too so appreciate the comment.
@Mike Dymski so true, great insight.
@Roger Wagoner glad to hear it!
@Wissem Sghaier thanks a lot, and, oh yeah, mgmt is a huge part of the success. It's one thing to have the #s in a spreadsheet. It's a whole other thing to have the right team to execute the business plan.
@David Campbell so glad this was helpful with your multifamily research!
@Jorge Vazquez I love your mindset!!
