- Why he dropped out of college to pursue real estate full-time
- Building a $3 Million/month REO business from scratch

Ever heard the expression “what got you here won’t get you there”?


It’s especially true for real estate investors today. Instead of finding great deals – or getting bailed out thanks to rising values – you’ve got to make great deals and unlock hidden value.


So we brought in BiggerPockets Podcast host David Greene for a game of “How Do I…”, where he and Brandon break down 6 different real estate investing strategies, and how to execute each one – today – without putting yourself at risk of financial ruin.


Recorded in front of a live audience at the BetterLife REI Summit last month, this episode covers:
- Does traditional 20% down rental property investing still work in 2024?
- How to “make” the deal rather than finding it 
- Two things you must do to successfully BRRR in today’s market
- Why this is actually a great market for flipping houses
- Is it a good time to wholesale?
- How House hacking is up to 7X more efficient than buying rentals
- The risks of commercial real estate investing in this environment
- A super-detailed breakdown of cap rates and commercial vs. residential financing


Books Mentioned:
- Traction by Gino Wickman
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert R. Kiyosaki

Welby Accely may be a real estate investor with an enviable rental property portfolio and a flashy car... But his journey to wealth wasn’t a cake walk. Not by a long shot.

- The investing lesson that didn’t sink in until he’d gone broke for a third time 
- Commanding a room and demanding respect from tenants and vendors
- Why landlords are “superheroes”, not villains
- Why he says the BRRRR strategy is “extremely dangerous” 
- How to BRRRR without getting burned
- Funneling flip profits into rentals
- Sharing his losses on social media

🎥 DESCRIPTION

In this episode, Ryan Dossey talks to us about his journey from making $23,000/year to doing 74 deals in one year, all with one simple strategy: direct mail marketing! He also tells the story about how one missed phone call led him to build a collection of companies that help real estate investors buy more homes, make more money, and scale their empire the right way!


In this episode, we also talk about:

• Why he quit wholesaling
• The cheat code to getting more deals
• How one simple product can handle 80% of the work, so you can focus on the 20% that actually moves the needle
• and SO much more

Ryan is also the founder of BallPoint Marketing, the exact direct mail marketing company that I use to find deals! He's a sponsor of the show because:

  1. I REALLY believe in who he is and what he offers
  2. He believes in our mission and subscribes fully to the idea of "building wealth without losing your soul"
