Five Key Points:

1. You need get off the sidelines and do it yourself. The key to hiring other people is that you understand the process so well yourself that you are able to communicate it and replicate it.
2. Hire an acquisition person to make cold calls/take calls from homeowners. Then have your employee sign the homeowner while they are still on the phone.
3. Compare property prices to what is selling in the area. Find out what the investors are paying, evaluate, and make the offer to the investor.

5. To scale the company, you need to bring in more people. To bring in more people, you need to have a strong culture. To have a strong culture, you have to be a strong leader. From there you create strong leaders on your team.
