899: Real Estate Basics: What To Do, What To Avoid, and Become a Successful Real Estate Investor With Peter Vekselman

December 23, 2022

Do you want to enter the world of real estate? Are you hesitant because of the large risk it has? Everyone desires to be a real estate investor because of the huge cash it brings, but little do they know that it only has a 3-5% success rate. The root of people's problems is that they are trying to put different things together, not understanding how they fit. However, this problem could be solved by acquiring everything from just one trustable source, having a coordinated piece and building an assembly line.

Peter Vekselman is a real estate investing expert who has completed over 3,600 real estate deals. He is the founder of Partner Driven, a company that provides a comprehensive platform for real estate investors, offering lead generation, capital, construction, and sales services. Today, Peter discusses the common pitfalls that hold back many real estate investors, emphasizing the need for a unified approach that combines all the necessary elements of a successful real estate business.

Quotes

“Whoever spends the most money on marketing and screams the loudest gets the most attention. It's not because they're the smartest—they just make the most noise.” - Peter Vekselman

“You've got to be willing to put in the time and effort. You've got to be a long-term player because nothing happens overnight.” - Peter Vekselman

“The goal is to get as many deals under contract as possible. Because ultimately, he who controls real estate makes the most money.” - Peter Vekselman

Takeaways

01:27 Real estate investing success rates are low, with only 3-5% of investors achieving success, due to the complexity of piecing together all the necessary elements of the business.

06:38 Successful real estate investing requires a long-term mindset, a willingness to put in the effort, and a desire to level up and achieve more than one's current situation.

13:49 Effective lead generation and communication with property owners are the core skills that drive profitability in real estate, while the back-end operations can be handled by a supportive team.

17:13 Aligning with experienced and successful real estate investors is the ultimate shortcut to achieving one's own success in the industry.

720: Build a Dirt Rich Passive Income: Frontier Property Real Estate Land Deals with The Land Geek Mark Podolsky

June 9, 2020

Armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience, Mark Podolsky bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001.

Today Mark is the author of Dirt Rich, the ultimate guide to helping you build a passive income. and owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company, and has been buying and selling land full time since 2001. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips, and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms.

Prior to his land investing success, Mark had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency (i.e. his income stopped as soon as he stopped working).

Escaping solo-economic dependency changed Mark’s life in so many positive ways that he decided to teach, coach and mentor others to help them achieve their financial goals.

Even though Mark invests a lot of his time helping others, he stays actively involved in running his land investing business, and is dedicated to teaching the most current and relevant “real world” land investing methods to his students.
