Are you struggling to get your real estate empire moving? Today we'll give you all of the motivation you need and a great mentor to help you get started. Steven Andrews was working as a manager of a big box retailer, making not-great money when he found a mentor of his own and bought his first home using a credit card for the down payment. Before he knew it, he was buying houses as quickly as possible and creating affordable living for many in his community. You'll hear his story and his tips to get rolling on this episode.

Have you heard the term, "Charity begins at home?" Today's guest will tell you just how wrong that quote is. Randy Molland was on the fast track to big bucks, and after two dramatic life events realized that the key to life was to flip from being a TAKER to being a GIVER. Randy now helps real estate investors and companies set up charitable giving inside of their community to (shockingly) grow quicker and help your local area at the same time. He'll detail just how giving more can help you build more houses, help more people, and experience more happiness, all while getting out of the rat race.

In our headline, insurance rates are skyrocketing. We talk about not just rates, but how homeowners insurance policies work, how to shop them, and what to look for, among many other topics around becoming an expert with insurance.

We also take a call from Jamaica (well, kinda) from a Deeder who needs help AND Doug shares his pop quiz trivia question. Enjoy!

What if there were a way to invest in real estate…without investing in real estate? Scott Carson joins us to share how he buys mortgages. Banks struggle to evaluate loans because of their macro engines, and Scott sneaks into the crevasses to find opportunities to buy the loan from the bank and successfully turn a non-performing loan into a successful investment. He helps people stay in their home while also making money. How does it work? He’ll explain how he identifies the loans that banks struggle with, buys the loans, and then works with the homeowner to get them back on their feet. He also covers what he does if he CAN’T help the homeowner (and sometimes still makes money). We talk about the risks, upside, and mechanics of buying loans on today’s show. Plus, in our headline segment, we dive into a Reddit thread focused on one big name’s child…who says that making money in real estate is super easy. We’ll take a look and share some thoughts on taking advice from influencers on the internet. Plus, we’ll take a question about HELOCs to Ruth’s Rotary Phone AND we’ll also share Doug’s fascinating trivia (which doubles as a pop quiz!). All that and more on today’s show!

Today we throw away all of the talk and get our hands dirty. What does a “great deal” really look like? You’ve heard all the talk. You’ve listened to podcasts. We dump all of the theory on the floor and instead evaluate a real deal from one of our Deeders! We’ll apply all the math, show you websites, dive into clues from the listing, and ultimately make a decision about whether Denise’s deal is ultimately one she should pursue or if she should keep looking.

In our headline segment Rich Dad, Poor Dad guru Robert Kyosaki is in the news, sharing that he’s over a BILLION dollars in debt?

We also answer a call to Ruth’s Rotary phone from Pam-a-lama-ding-dong (not her real name) AND we also, like a cherry on top, share Doug’s entirely fun and not-for-credit pop quiz. We’re sure you’ll pass the quiz AND won’t want to pass on all this knowledge and fun.
