    Episode 76: David Lecko and DealMachine
    Jan 4 2020

    Hello and welcome back to all my favorite investors and entrepreneurs. Today’s guest is a special one. David Lecko, founder of the DealMachine app and community, is a man focused on personal development. If he wasn’t, he never would have designed this amazing real estate tool in the first place.

    DealMachine is an amazing mobile app designed specifically for real estate investors. David started out with rental properties and driving for dollars, but he quickly realized he needed a tool that could streamline all of his responsibilities. Thus, DealMachine was born! At first the app was just for him, but when friends and colleagues started asking for it, he decided to put it up on the App Store and share it with the world. 

    As real estate investors, we all want to and need to work in real time. DealMachine can help you do that on the business side of things, but David is also sharing strategies for managing the personal side of things too. From marketing to customer service, all the way to how to do business with your partners and mentors, David shares nuggets of knowledge that will help investors new and seasoned alike to get a better grip on their business.

    David manages to find that balance between life and work while still working with a speed fit for this fast food generation. It’s hard to be an entrepreneur, and Shiny Object Syndrome is REAL. It can be a real struggle to stick with the boring, day-to-do processes and systems of running your business, but if you don’t get excited about boring systems and processes, then you’re really going to have a hard time behind a business owner. You have to change your mindset if you want to build your business into the successful behemoth you know it can be, and David shares a few key tips that can help get you there.

    If you’ve never heard of an “infinite banking strategy”, today is your lucky today! Chris Miles is on the Profit Masters right now to help you figure out new ways to get some extra money coming in. These are strategies you may never have considered before because it really goes against all of the traditional things we’ve learned when it comes to banking, investing, and retirement funds. That’s why they call Chris the anti-financial advisor. He’s up here turning the industry on its head with some of the things he’s doing out here.

There are ways to make key investments with your mutual fund and even your life insurance that can get you to true financial freedom. These are the kinds of investments that pay off, and Chris shares the different ways you can use to them to finally declare your own financial freedom.  I’m very excited about today’s episode because Chris is part of the Collective Genius Mastermind group I’m in. He and I have learned a lot from each other over the past year, and I really value the way he encourages us all to challenge the things we’ve been taught. Ignorance is expensive - you’ll hear us say that a lot on this episode, and it can really benefit you both financially and spiritually to get a fresh, new perspective on the way we’re doing things. Real estate investors, like all entrepreneurs, can get comfortable in the routine. But to keep that entrepreneurial fire burning, you’ve got to learn new perspectives and try new things. Part of what makes our businesses so great is the journey of learning we get to go on every day. So tune in right now and learn something new from Chris Miles!

  • Episode 72: Greg Helbeck Secret Genealogist Real Estate Gold

    Episode 72: Greg Helbeck Secret Genealogist Real Estate Gold
    Jul 25 2019
    Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing Profit Masters podcast! My guest today is really going to blow your mind. Greg Helbeck is only 23 years old but he is killing it with virtual real estate investing. That’s right - I said VIRTUAL. Greg is living in San Diego while working deals in New York and Texas. In fact, we’re doing a deal in Dallas together and that’s why I’m so excited to bring him on the show. Greg’s real estate investment strategy may surprise you. He’s out there using a genealogist to close on some real hairy deals. Greg breaks down his strategy for getting through some of the most dramatic real estate deals I’ve ever heard of. But what’s really going to impress you is how much he’s learned during this process. As investors, we know this business isn’t easy, and sometimes it isn’t very nice either. Greg had his own doubts about himself and his abilities simply because of his age. How did he overcome this age bias and really start believing in himself? You’ll have to listen to today’s episode to find out. But here’s a hint - having faith in yourself doesn’t come just from within. It comes from having spiritual faith and being confident enough to seek guidance from others. Whether that means hiring a mentor or listening to hundreds of podcast episodes, talking to others can help you reflect on your actions, learn from them, and really evolve as not only an investor but also in your daily life.
