  1. Mr. Turner you are the man, and always on time for us scared video over watching folks. I think I need to bird dog for someone in Houston. So, I can learn to shop for property. I am offering myself to help someone else. Just email me please…thanks…a newbie again. A Teacher needs teaching again.

  2. This is total bull manure. Trust me it is not that easy. 15k in the bank, 780 credit score, 50k a year at the job, 25% savings rate, and all you will hear is no. How to get rich in real estate, first you get rich, second you buy real estate. Ironically it is easier to go from 0 to 100,000 a year, I personally know. I went from 15k a year to 32k a year. Got lazy, really want to be a landlord, got serious and easily went from 32k a year to 50k a year. Had a ha ha moment, and figured out how to make 75k a year. Real estate is a rich man's game. Telling poor people that they can get with no money and little work is actually cruel. You screen tenants before they move in, TRUST me banks will screen you. Good luck looking at houses, let alone putting in offers without a preapproval letters. Without a preapproval letter, you are wasting a realtor's time. Also a huge percentages of homes are now bought all cash. If you have less than thirty thousand dollars get used to the word no, YOU will hear it a lot.

  3. You could do a video on analyzing a deal Dora the Explorer Style. Give us numbers, present a question, pause, give the answer, repeat. Then have the audience put their score of how many they got correct/response of if they would put an offer on the deal in the comments.

  4. NO BANKS, Use Private funding, the banks make you sign personal guarantees, and they can sell the note to Vulcher Capitalists that can and will hold you to the note. So much money out there, find other resources.

  5. Hi Brandon, I have been doing this for several years. One of the first shows I heard talked about the BRRRR, and I was like cool I just did this, so that's what it is called. I would like to test the waters out of my local state which is NJ. The issue is I am use to babysitting my contractors, I am the realtor, and the investor.

  6. There are so many organizations out here that teaches about real estate yet they literally never tell you it's not a get rich scheme.

  7. For the podcast: Can you guys get more people on the podcast who have just done their first deals or who are just new and only have a few deals overall.

  8. Awesome video! Yes, clarity, direction, and focus on what you want is so important in real estate investing. You HAVE to go in with a plan and stick to it. Tons of research involved beforehand and every single day following – but it is SO WORTH IT!

  9. Solid advice, when it comes to succeeding you can't go in blind and you've got to put in the right ingredients and be consistent. Without a game plan and a realistic goal to work towards, you are just a leaf in the wind.

  10. Loved this video! You have been educating so many people for so long! Keep up he great work! I started a finance channel and have been receiving great feedback from it! Viewers, If you can, check it out! If not, well.. I hope you are having a great day!
