Hey, have you heard of Brock Collins? If you haven’t then you should check out his podcast Freedom Real Estate Investing. Brock operates just outside of Chicago and focuses on the why real estate is a great career choice. Today Brock shares his desire to keep his freedom while running his business and how he does that. "If you are comfortable today, you're not taking enough action steps. You've got to get out until you're uncomfortable." Brock grew up in a blue collar home, but he always wanted to see what the other side of the fence (white collar) was like. After making 24 grand a year while working 50 to 60 hours a week, Brock decided it was time to take his knowledge of real estate to the next level. He reached out to a mentor and began work on making deals. Brock learned traditional methods of property investment, but really made a breakthrough when he learned other methods of investment that better fit his personal goals.

In the real estate business finding that highly-motivated seller is a critical to success.  My guest today is Chris Richter, co-founder of a company called Audantic which handles statistics and analytics for real estate and investors.

Our guest for today is Joe Lieber. He’s a Low Income Inner-City Housing Specialist and a Buy-and-Hold Real Estate Investor from Cleveland, Ohio. Like so many of our other guests, we met through The Collective Genius mastermind. We’re going to be exploring his venture for financial freedom, and how it has led him to being an extremely profitable realtor in the ghetto. Joe’s main deal is that he wants to work for assets; not for money (like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, who also happen to be his role models, especially the latter.) He’s currently in the 150 house range, so obviously he’s doing something right! Today is about how he gets to do everything he wants, and make money while he’s at it. “There’s only two ways to get someone to invest into a property: a large down payment, or blood, sweat and tears.” – Joe Today’s Topics Include: Why Joe is huge on passive income His best real estate strategies The quick and easy way to breaking into the real estate business How coaches pay for themselves and

Brian Ellwood used to shake the hands of strangers and ask them what they did for living.  He felt trapped in a  job where he had no control of his own time.  His strategy paid off and propelled him into property flipping and rental property investment.  On this episode Brian shares his story and provides really valuable insight along the way. Brian begins by discussing how he got started in the business.  A stranger gave him the opportunity to get a lead for him.  The guy closed on the deal and gave Brian a one thousand dollar check.  At that moment it clicked for Brian and he realized there was a way to get paid for the value you add,  instead of your time.
