Episode 109: Real Estate Agents: Here’s Why You Should be in the “Luxury” Market
Instant Investor Podcast
(Formerly: The M.O.R.E. Podcast)
The majority of real estate agents don’t sell multimillion dollar ‘luxury’ properties. Many certainly want to, but most never get the opportunity. For a host of reasons, including a longer sales cycle, competition with new construction, and the perception of having to deal with a more sophisticated clientele. But the main reason, according to Harif Hazera, has more to do with psychology, mindset, and limiting beliefs such as… I’m not educated or sophisticated enough to deal with that crowd… I’m not worthy… Who am I to think...

Remember when Lehman Brothers failed? It marked the climax of the subprime mortgage crisis and prolonged ‘The Great Recession’, which was the steepest economic decline in the U.S. since the Great Depression back in the 1930’s.

That’s when Drew Homola jumped into the game and started his home building company! Was he crazy? Or crazy like a fox? Here’s a sample of what we discuss: The advantages of starting a business during a...

info_outlineMatthew Guerra is not your typical real estate agent…
It really wasn’t his dream career, nor did he become one so he could make big fat commissions (although he often does!). Instead, he got his real estate license because he wanted to level up his skills… and learn the game of apartment investing.
His focus on skill-building, and a willingness to do things that many others tend to shy away from, has certainly been a major key to his success!
As a result, he’s proficient at acquisitions and closing the deal, underwriting & analysis, raising capital, and putting together a syndication (aka Group Investment).
All are major skills that pay the bills (and he’s really just getting started!).
Here’s a sample of what we discuss:
· It’s not very sexy, but it’s one of the most valuable skill-builders you can employ (and everyone can do it!).
· The secret of the Bamboo tree.
· How any real estate agent or broker can start building a portfolio – even if you don’t have a giant nest egg to start with.
· How Matthew used creative financing to buy a $1.5M student housing project – with very little money out-of-pocket (it’s now worth $2.3M!).
· Much, much more!
