About this listen

 It is a tragedy that 95% of the country is brainwashed into believing that you have to work 50 hours per week for 50 years just to retire. By that point, you might not even enjoy your time off! This podcast helps you escape the traditional 9-5 and embark on a fulfilling, financially rewarding journey. We will show you how it is possible to make your annual salary, monthly through a proven business model called wholesaling real estate. Why wholesaling real estate? This perfect strategy doesn't require significant capital to actually purchase the property yourself, it allows you time freedom without being at someone’s beck and call, and you can make 15% of each deal. You simply find distressed properties and connect them with investors. It's a flexible and scalable way to enter the world of real estate without many of the traditional barriers and offers 5 figure paydays. If you're a newcomer to this world, this podcast is specifically designed for you. Here's what you can look forward to: Wholesaling 101: We break down the ABCs of wholesaling. And no, 'B' doesn't stand for 'Boring.' Beginner’s Bootcamp: Think of this as your training wheels in real estate, only a lot less embarrassing than the ones on your childhood bike. Action Steps: Get ready to jot down exactly what to do next. Support Squad: Dive into a community of fellow newbies with experts we bring in to help. You will achieve success much faster when you have access to people who have achieved what you want to achieve, and the support from those on the same path. Ready to get started?

    471: 100+ Deals Per Year—Doing Wholesale the Right Way
    Dec 17 2025

    JR Reed breaks down how he consistently closes 100+ deals per year in Houston by using wholesaling to fund his business while building long-term wealth through buy-and-hold. He explains why rentals shouldn’t pay your bills early on, why he avoids constant price drops, how messy title deals became his biggest profit driver, and what changed after a tough market forced him to tighten operations. JR also shares how his team is structured, why integrity matters more than squeezing every deal, and what “playing the long game” in wholesaling actually looks like.

    470: 5 Proven Steps To Make Direct Mail Actually Work
    Dec 16 2025

    Most investors say direct mail “doesn’t work”—but top investors know that’s not true. In this episode, we break down the five exact steps top investors use to win with direct mail, from building the right lists and sending mail that actually stands out, to answering calls live, staying consistent long enough to see results, and following up until deals close. This is the same framework that’s been tied to over $100 million in profits and equity from direct mail campaigns across multiple markets.

    469: Multiple $40K+ Deals Per Month (Here's How He Does It)
    Dec 15 2025

    In this episode, David and Ryan sit down with Robinson Bautista, a one-man wholesaler pulling 2–3 deals per month at $40K+ each—all while closing 90% of his deals through text message alone. Robinson breaks down how he finds sellers, why SMS is the only marketing channel he uses, and the simple system that lets him run a tiny operation while still landing massive spreads. If you want a leaner, higher-profit wholesaling model, this is the blueprint.
