2 Mistakes that cost me millions (and how you can avoid them)

Contain 800x800

The real estate investing game has changed—and if you're not changing too, you'll get left behind!

I learned this the hard way. Twice!

Mistake #1: Playing Too Small

It was 2011. My wife and I had just started flipping houses and buying rentals.

You remember 2011, right?

Foreclosures everywhere, prices rock-bottom, buyers nowhere to be seen.

Smart investors knew this was the moment to buy prime real estate at massive discounts.

But I played small—too cautious.

Knowing what I know now, I'd have bought 10x more houses before the market rebounded.

In baseball terms, I hit a homerun pitch but stopped running at first base.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Changing Market Winds

Around 2014, I saw how much opportunity I’d missed, so I went full throttle into house flipping.

It was exciting, profitable, and worked great...until it didn't.

Interest rates dropped below 4%, changing the game.

Landlords and short-term rental investors began paying much higher prices than I could as a flipper, shrinking my margins.

I didn't pivot. Instead, I stubbornly stayed the course flipping hundreds of houses—and it cost me.

What's Next?

Interest rates are high, prices are still up, and traditional strategies aren’t working unless you're either getting huge discounts or using creative financing.

Opportunity: Creative Financing Strategies

Cash offers and traditional loans won't cut it in this market.

But if you know how to use creative financing strategies, you can still make great deals happen.

Thousands of investors are stuck on the sidelines, either broke or struggling with outdated tactics.

But that won't be you after attending the Subject-To Workshop.

Subject-to investing is powerful—it lets you buy homes with existing super-low interest mortgages, no credit checks or bank approvals required.

You can actually buy homes with mortgages at 4%, 3%, even 2% interest rates—IF you know how.

There's never been a better time!

Over half of homes have an interest rate below 4% today!

This opportunity wont last forever, though.

Learn how to use the Subject-To strategy and buy homes at crazy low rates while you can.

Seats are limited, and early-bird pricing expires tomorrow.

Reserve your spot today!
