Jason Buzi works in high-end wholesaling and has been consistently selling 1.5 houses on average a month over the last few years. He is located in an incredibly hot market, San Francisco, and has been wholesaling since 2005.

Listen in to Jason's advice and tips on how he stays ahead in such a competitive market.  

 

Key Takeaways:

  • San Francisco is a hot, hot market!
  • Alex and Jason will be covering high-end wholesaling on this master class.

  • The market Jason is in helps, but this shouldn't discourage you from achieving a 7-figure business.
  • What can wholesalers do to start earning more money?
  • What is double closing?
  • Jason only rehabbed 3 houses out of the 18 he managed last year.
  • What are some of the challenges to wholesaling?

Alex discusses why chasing rainbows or the ‘next big thing’ is the worst thing you can do for yourself. Focus on one niche and pursue that niche with all your heart. There's only so much that books and online courses can teach you, but at the end of the day, you need to be in the trenches to really learn this industry and get things working for you. You need to get hands-on experience to really understand what those books are trying to say.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Alex has put together a free online course for his audience. Go to his website for more info.
  • Alex talks about someone he knows who is constantly chasing the next big thing.
  • You have to focus!
  • Stop bouncing around. The knowledge is going to come from the experience.
  • So, what should you be focusing on? What's the quickest way to get into real estate?
  • There's got to be a balance between what you're learning and what you're doing.
  • The best investment you can make is in yourself.
  • Does this sound like you? Don't beat yourself up about it. Make a change today.
  • Again, focus on one thing. Educate yourself while you're taking action.

Alex focuses on an important subject in today's episode and that's mindset. Instead of answering a question this week, he asks you a question about where you want to go in life. Do you wake up everyday expecting success? Alex is a firm believer that you get what you expect in life, so what are your expectations? Define them and then go get them.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • You get what you expect in life.
  • Are you going through your day like a zombie or are you being mindful of what you have to do?
  • You gotta get off your couch and take action.
  • It all boils down to your mindset. Do you expect success?
  • Are you letting challenges stop you? You need to change your mindset.
  • You're going to experience adversity, but you also have to have confidence in yourself that you'll get through it.
  • Alex really wants you to internalize the full concept of 'you get what you expect' and what it means.
  • If you're living an average life and don't want to put in the work to make it extraordinary, then bad news, nothing is going to change for you.
  • When you have the right attitude and mindset, things will begin to click for you.
  • Alex challenges you to really pay attention on what is going through your mind on a daily basis. Are your thoughts empowering you or hindering you?
  • Stay tuned for the next master class! You won't want to miss it.
