Guys! Seeing my members get properties under contract is so exciting to me!! Brandon has been hunting nonstop and finally - he got a good one. I'm little jealous actually 🤣

Well done my man!

Amazing call with the legend !

He's such a down to earth guy... Midwest people right :)

Thanks for sharing great value with my STR Legend Mastermind tonight! We reviewed our students current purchase and sure enough, it was Bianchi approved!

What's great is John and I have polar opposite ways of beginning our data research but we arrived at the same conclusions. It's fantastic to see this guy work and always a pleasure catching up!

Cheers brother!

Being able to shoot down to Tampa for 4 days with my 3 leading ladies (Sam, Isla and Mom) for our friends wedding was another reminder of how far we've come. As an employee, I would have had to hope to get work off for this. Now I just take the time when I want to. I hated that feeling of working for a company almost 65 hours a week for almost 7 years and feeling guilty for even asking for a Friday and Monday off. That is ridiculous.

If that feeling is present in your mind right now, start looking into making some changes because it's not going to go away on the next wedding or trip or even funeral you want to take time off for. Our employers do not prioritize employees personal lives. And you know what, they don't have to. But you have a choice whether you accept that or not. People have offered me multiple six-figure jobs since being self-employed, and the truth is it would take an incredibly interesting position making well over a half million dollars a year for me to even consider working there for 6 months. I feel like I would do it just out of curiosity to see if I can help that company out at this time, and I know that sounds Wild but that's where my head is at and trust me when I say I know I sound crazy when I say that! Why do I sound crazy? Because it's so absurd compared to how I used to live and how I used to submit to will of my employer
Every exhausting traffic filled drive. Every time I went above and beyond unnoticed. Every passed up promotion for the brown nosed idiot. Every time I had to cut a trip shorter than I wanted it to be because I didn't have any more of those stupid three letters, PTO. Make sure that this year is getting more in your own control and if you want to do it with real estate DM me the word Legend. Even if you're not sure you want to get into real estate and you just want to talk about business, let me help you. Cheers and very genuine hope to you all to taking back your lives.

Wishing you a splendid New Year filled with success, prosperity, and rewarding ventures. Cheers to a thriving year ahead!

Yesterday, I successfully sold a flip, yielding a net profit of $59,000 over 9 months - a rewarding achievement despite the hurdles faced along the way.

The journey was not without its challenges. It began with a delay as our contractors were wrapping up other projects, meaning serious work on this property didn't start until July, three months after purchase. By October, we were ready to market the property. We quickly received a full-price offer, but the buyer withdrew post-inspection due to concerns about the windows and roof. We addressed these issues, but that deal fell through. Eventually, after fixing the roof and attracting two more potential buyers, the third offer led to a successful sale.

A significant learning curve in this process was managing the Fix and Flip financing, kudos to Sam for her first full rehab co mgmt! She did a fantastic job, but the process was still tedious. Budgeting was another challenge as contractor costs exceeded expectations by 25%, leading to an unforeseen $10,000 in repairs, not covered by our Fix and Flip credit.

Regarding the costs, we also had to bear the mortgage and utility expenses, which totaled about $26,000. When subtracted from our $59,000 proceeds, we netted $33,000, translating to a monthly income of $3,666 fyi we still owe taxes on this, call it 20% so the yield would be 2932 then.

Overall, despite the stress and challenges, quite positive. It's a testament to the fact that house flipping can be profitable, though it's often more complex and demanding than it appears on social media. With each project, we're learning and improving, aiming for even more successful flips in the future. Let me know if you have questions or if it helps you understand flipping better!

HappyMonday!

Make sure you think about this this week. Who are your five that you can lean into that will help elevate your mind heart and health. It's really hard to break out of your Norms sometimes, trust me I've been there. But when you accept that your best Circle might just be something new or a push to your current group to grow together... life completely changes for the better. Find gratitude for those people in your life today, share your thanks. If you don't have them, open up to a new tribe and ask for help. Let the last 2 weeks of this year be full of the right stuff to kick off the new year properly. Wishing you all great week!

Good Xmas party at the Shemkes! Appreciate the hang time more every year. Hope you all have fun this season too!

Learning from the past: invest smart, seek guidance, value lessons. Now, I'm living those lessons, aiming to be the support others need. Life's a journey of growth – let's embrace it together!

When you go from an intention to a habit everything becomes so much easier. Your body and mind go on autopilot.

When I bought my first property I started with an intention and I was absolutely scared. "What if I screw this up!"
That's all I could think of.

By the time I got to my second I thought "I should probably be okay here but I hope I don't screw this up." Sure enough we did fine.

By my third I said Maybe this will go even easier now that I'm two for two." And yes, it went well.

Now at 51 properties I don't even think about if it's going to go well I just expect it to. Do all of them go well? No. But your tolerance and understanding of everything gets incredibly improved one after the other.

Whatever the case, if you don't start with some serious intention and align yourself with a real support group of experienced people, you run the risk of never getting to the habit phase. When you are finally ready to take the life path you have been waiting to walk for too long after giving yourself, DM me the word "Thanksgiving"

I want us to be thankful that we finally made the right move this week and that's why I'm offering an opportunity to come in at a special rate for this week only. We only have TWO SPOTS LEFT.

Going into 2024 I want us all to be very clear in our goals and expectations of our lives. We have to stop making excuses for why things can't be better. I used to do that all the time I used to justify why I can't get ahead. And sometimes it just felt like that was the law of the world. Things can be much better for so many but the first step is the hardest. Take that step and feel gratitude to yourself for doing it.

Man oh man if this ain't the truth!
Literally every entrepreneur out there go through this. Anyone that's honest anyway! You know if you truly did just wake up a multi-millionaire one day it just wouldn't be as sweet. If you think that then maybe we aren't as in line as I would like but that's okay. I think the truth is we need a bit of a journey to really appreciate our arrival anywhere. Yeah sometimes it's really stressful and there are some lows that really bother us but without that, would we even be happy? Would you appreciate where you landed?

We got nominated! It's just great being nominated alone and on top of that, we have pushed ourselves even farther this year by launching the mastermind to teach what we have learned so you can be MORE SUCCESSFUL than we did! If you have enjoyed what we have shared, would love for you to take 10 seconds to vote too.

Why. 🫠

Why is this so real.🙃

We are all trying to get as much done in a day as we can and to see it plotted out like this just really paints a black and white picture of how hard it is for all of us. Let's give each other some credit and more than anything, ourselves! Especially when we are trying to learn new skills and businesses. It really does always take longer than we thought but the payoff is exponential I promise you!
