Alex made a mistake last holiday seasons by slowing down his marketing efforts. Because of it, January started off a little slow for him and his team. In this quick episode, Alex just wants to remind you that you shouldn’t be slacking off on your marketing efforts, even if the year is coming to an end.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Got a quick show for you today.
  • Last year, Alex stopped marketing around the holidays. Big mistake!
  • It’s the holidays; now is the time to double down on your marketing!
  • In January, Alex had a slow start because he slowed his marketing down in December.
  • Ideally, you should have a marketing campaign out every week.
  • Take advantage of the fact that your competition will be taking a break.
  • Your business shouldn’t start and stop with just you. You need to leverage your team, especially during the holidays!

When Dan Zitofsky was 18 years old, he got a 30% FHA loan and bought his first condo with it. While in the Navy, he was making more money on his condo than on his salary. This is when things really started to click for him. When he got out of the military, he jumped into real estate.

However, it slowly became more and more a job for him and not the freedom lifestyle he wanted for himself. On today’s show, Dan talks about his real estate journey, why he prefers paying off his debt straight away, and why notes have really helped him develop the REAL passive income lifestyle we all desire.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Truth be told, there isn’t a lot of passive income from just being a landlord.
  • Who is Dan and what does his business look like today?
  • After nearly having a breakdown from stress, Dan knew there had to be a better way to do his business.
  • Dan only holds notes on properties he’s willing to own.
  • What’s the difference between an active investor vs. passive investor?
  • Anytime you own debt, you also own risk. If a downturn happens, things can really go south for you.
  • Dan shares a case study and explains a bit more how he creates long-term wealth.
  • Dan got an 85% return on his money.
  • Dan does recommend buying some rental properties. Once you’ve bought them, focus on paying those mortgages off as fast as possible, and then selling those properties to investors on a note.
  • The best part is Dan doesn’t deal with a high-volume of investors. Last year he did 182 properties with only 18 investors. They were high-quality and easy to manage.
  • How does Dan usually structure his deals?
  • Dan talks about why he doesn’t like selling partial notes anymore.
  • How can a wholesale beginner get into this note space?
  • Get out of debt as quickly as possible.
  • Remember, invest in yourself first.
  • Check out Dan’s training! Link in the show notes below.

Alex received a listener question asking what’s the best CRM out there. Any tool you pick will work, but the question is, do you work? So often people get the ‘latest and greatest’ tools, but forget one key thing — working hard (and smart)! Remember, there is no silver bullet to this. You gotta put in the work.

Key Takeaways:

  • What’s the best CRM out there?
  • There is no perfect system out there, but they all work.
  • Remember, no tool or resource is just going to make you money right off the bat.
  • When Alex was first starting out, he didn’t have a CRM. He used pen, paper, and post it notes.
  • Remember, it’s only a failure if you didn’t learn.
  • Hopefully when you’re looking for a new tool, it’s a compliment to what you’re already doing, not the silver bullet!
  • If you’d like to network and connect with other people in your field, The Flip Empire Inner Circle is the place for you!

Alex offers some advice as to what you should do when you’re really struggling moving a contract / property. The best thing you can do is ask your potential buyers why they passed on it. If they say price, then maybe you can re-negotiate with the seller and save the deal. Remember, it only takes one buyer.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Are you hearing crickets when it comes to marketing your contracts / properties?
  • Remember, it just takes one buyer.
  • Always solicit feedback from your potential buyers on why they might not be interested in this property.
  • If they tell you it's because of the price, get their #, and go back to the seller for a price reduction.
  • We all get a challenging deal every now and again and that’s when you gotta get more creative and a little bit more resourceful.

Instead of a masterclass, Alex shares a Flip Empire Inner Circle recording on this week’s show! Take a behind-the-scenes look as to what he talks about within his group and the advice he offers to his members.

Today, Alex discusses how he plans to step up his unique selling proposition and stand out from the other wholesale competitors in his area.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Alex launched The Flip Empire Inner Circle about 2-3 months ago.
  • For today’s show, Alex releases an audio recording of what goes on in the group!

  • Even when Alex and his team don’t close a house, they still send personalized thank you letters to those sellers.
  • Alex spends some time doing Q&A with his inner circle members.

Are you playing all out? Alex recently went through an important exercise that made him realize he wasn’t. He encourages everyone to check out the Wheel of Life self-assessment tool and to rate themselves, honestly, from a scale of 0-10 on where they stand in certain key areas of their life. Alex believes if you’re hitting a 7 or less, you need to reevaluate your life’s priorities and get yourself running on all cylinders again!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Alex is really reflecting on how this year turned out as things begin to slow down.
  • Alex recently went through an exercise called ‘The Wheel of Life’.
  • When you’re doing the exercise, you have to be incredibly honest with yourself on where you are right now in some of the key areas of your life.
  • Alex has always been his harshest critic. He’s guilty of comparing himself to where he should be in life.
  • Alex had to do the wheel of life exercise twice because he wanted to make sure he was truly, truly, being honest with himself.
  • On a scale of 0-10, if you’re putting down a 7 or less, then you really need to re-evaluate where you want to be and strive to get there.
  • For example, Alex is not running on a 10 with his health. He’s slightly overweight and he’s uncomfortable with this.
  • If you’re not playing all out, you’re doing yourself and your family a disservice!
  • Sometimes we know what we gotta do, but we just don’t do it! Man up!
  • You don’t need more courses, tools, and resources. You need to push yourself and work for what you want.

Alex received a very moving letter from Rafael, who quit his job to pursue wholesaling full time. Thank you for your emails and letters and just remember if you’re going through hard times, know that every obstacle you face will strengthen you. Keep pushing forward and keep taking small steps towards your goals!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Thank you so much for your emails and giving Alex your feedback on what you think about the show.
  • Alex reads a listener email out loud!
  • Thank you, Rafael, for being vulnerable with your story.
  • Hopefully Rafael’s story inspires you and gives you fuel to improve your business.
  • Keep pushing towards your goals. There’s no such thing as overnight success.
  • Every obstacle you face will make you a better person.
  • What can you do to convert more appointments into deals?
  • Always make sure that a yes is great, but a no is fine as well to a potential seller. It takes some of the pressure off of them and they can relax while you’re touring their home.
