Chris Arnold and Scott Orbon are the owners of COSA Investments and they’ve been wholesaling in the Dallas, TX area for the last seven years. They currently close around 11 deals a month and have a team of 15 people working for them. Chris and Scott are very diligent about not clogging up the acquisition manager's time. Their sole purpose is to close deals, not run around town looking at properties. On today’s show, Chris and Scott outline how they save time by structuring their team to work smarter, not harder.

Tim Bratz invested in his first house in 2009 and now currently holds over 500 rental units in his own portfolio. He was a solopreneur up until a few years ago, but now with a team backing him, he is able to buy, renovate, and sell over 100 properties per year. On the show, Tim shares an important lesson on why he thought that paying $30,000 for a basketball event was absolutely ridiculous, at first, but by asking the right questions and changing his perspective, he ended up making over $700,000 in business by attending that event.
