“There are always opportunities in real estate” -Dan McCabe
That was what I said back in 2001 after graduating from the University of St. Thomas and my heart was set on becoming a real estate investor.
In case you don’t remember 2001 in the Twin Cities area, or if you are not familiar with the area, housing prices were exploding, increasing 13% each year. Now even as a young and dumb 23 year old eager to make his mark in investing that market scared me. There was NO WAY it was going to last. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. Unfortunately the fact that it lasted so long made the crash just that much bigger.
So what did I do in 2001?
I started selling real estate. I wasn’t a buyer in that market, but I was able to see that there were a lot of buyers out there and the real money at the time was in selling houses. I was having months where I was making $35k at the age of 23!
By 2008 it was time to invest again as prices started falling. It was also time to quit selling real estate because it was becoming a pain in the butt. 9 out of 10 listing appointments I was getting were for short sales. Meaning I was going to have to do extra work just for the bank to beat me up on my commission.
That SUCKED! So I made the move to full time investor.

So where is the opportunity today to make money in real estate?
It’s funny because both instances above were very specific; either as an agent selling houses, or as an investor. Right now it is different however because there is a fair amount of opportunity in both. We are in a fun middle ground where investors can make a decent living, and the real estate agents that are working with the investors stand to do pretty well themselves.
There is currently a small gold mine in fact sitting there for real estate agents that learn how to work with investors.
Working with investors provides good agents with multiple transactions every year. Not just 1 transaction every 7 years that a retail client will provide on average. I have provided single agents a couple dozen transactions in a year as an investor. I know agents that have done 60+ transactions in a single year off a single investor!
Given the possibilities of working with investors, and my vast knowledge from spending so much time on both sides of the fence I have developed a program for agents that gives them all of the tools they need to find investors, how to work with investors, and do it all working normal business hours. No more weekends. No more evenings. How does that sound?
In my program you will learn how to:
- Find investors easily. Seriously, it is easier than it sounds. I promise it is way easier then babysitting open houses every weekend to pick up new buyers.
- How to help your new investors get tremendous amounts of funding so that they do more deals.
- How to talk to investors.
- What is important to investors (we are a fickle breed that don’t need much, but it is important we get what we want and you need to know what that is).
- How to analyze property from an investor’s point of view. Trust me; we don’t want to see properties that don’t make financial sense. You need to know how to look at properties the way the investor would and only bring them through when it makes sense.
- How to keep investors happyJ
- Access to all of the forms and analyzers you and your investor(s) could ever need.
- Strategies to find properties that aren’t on the MLS.
- BONUS: Marketing materials to hog more deals that your investors are rehabbing. These are really cool and will blow your socks off. The amount of money that can be made if you diligently incorporate this system is stupid and I will be handing it to you on a silver platter.
The tools you will receive through my training program are priceless.
If I could show you how to do 4 investor deals next year, PLUS 2 additional retail deals, what would that be worth to you?
Let’s break down some “what if” numbers just for fun…
- 4 investor deals is more like 6 transactions, assuming you got both sides on 2, and maybe 2 came from a different source and you just got the listing.
- PLUS 2 additional retail deals bring us to 8 transactions.
- Just for giggles we will say that the average transaction is $150k. Multiply that by 8 transactions brings us to $1,200,000 in sales.
- Now because you are a giver you are only receiving 2% of all these transactions.
- Net income of 8 150k transactions using the above numbers would be $24,000 all while attempting to be ridiculously conservative in all aspects of the above projections.
Now for a little more fun do some math in your head…
- What if you were able to charge more that 2%?
- 4 investor deals are probably only relying on one pretty small investor. What if you had 2 of them? Or one good investor? Or 2 good investors? Do you see how you can scale when working with investors?
THE BIG QUESTION…
If I were to give you a system where you could change your business, add steady and consistent revenue to you, and you could do working normal hours, what would that be worth to you?
(seriously, think about it…)
The opportunity to work with investors is here and now. The saying that the early bird gets the worm has never been truer. It is only a matter of time before real estate starts to climb again and if you have a small stable of active investors you can imagine the possibilities. Not to mention the fact that if you can use these investors to make a pretty decent living now, in a supposedly “down market”.
Well, I don’t want to leave you hanging…But I am going to. If you want to know more about my program I am going to require you to do something. You are going to have to fill out that pesky little form below. You will be emailed a link that will describe the program in more depth as well as give you pricing.
There are both live events and more cost efficient online courses so you can learn however you choose.
I guarantee everything and only want to work with those that are at a place in their life and business where they want to do something great.
So please fill out the form and I will see you on the other side.
