  • EP 76: The Secret to Getting Everything You Want in Life
    Mar 12 2025

    Are you truly living the life you want, or are you just going through the motions? In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dive deep into the mindset shifts and actions necessary to create the life you envision. We explore why most people never achieve their dreams—and how you can break that cycle. I share the powerful “Four V’s” framework—Visualize, Vocalize, Vote, and Vicinity—that will help you take control of your future, whether it’s in business, health, or personal growth. Plus, I highlight inspiring real-life examples of transformation and success.

    If you’re ready to stop wishing and start doing, this episode is for you. Let’s get to work.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Belief Alone Isn’t Enough – You can believe in your goals, but unless you take daily action, nothing will change. Your actions define who you become.

    2.Your Environment Shapes Your Success – Surround yourself with people who have the results you want. Being in the right rooms will push you to level up.

    3. Small Daily Votes Lead to Big Wins – Every choice you make—what you eat, how you spend your time, who you learn from—is a vote for the future you want. Choose wisely.

  • EP 75: Why Customer Experience is the Secret Weapon in Real Estate Investing
    Mar 10 2025

    In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down why customer experience is the real competitive edge in real estate investing. While many in the industry focus on technology or pivot to education, my team at Oasis Home Buyers has prioritized direct seller relationships—and the results speak for themselves.

    I share how we’ve built a reputation that outperforms competitors who have been in the market twice as long, why our average assignment fees continue to rise, and how focusing on customer trust led to a $60,000 deal. I also read a powerful five-star review from a seller, demonstrating how personal attention and problem-solving can make all the difference. Whether you’re an investor, wholesaler, or just curious about scaling a real estate business, this episode is packed with insights on long-term success in the industry.

    Episode Highlights:

    [0:00] – Introduction

    [1:03] – The two key strategies for winning in today’s market: technology vs. customer experience

    [2:20] – How Oasis Home Buyers is outperforming competitors in reviews and profitability

    [3:35] – Why many wholesalers shift to education and why I’m waiting until we hit $10M+

    [4:55] – The role of branding: Why our YouTube presence helps us build trust with sellers

    [6:40] – A five-star review that proves the impact of customer-first investing

    [9:06] – The value of patience: How long-term follow-up led to a high-profit deal

    [9:57] – The details behind a $60K wholesale deal and how we structured it

    [11:33] – Why seller experience will be the key to scaling a billion-dollar real estate brand

    [12:10] – We’re hiring: How you can join our growing team

    [13:15] – The challenges sellers face when choosing between a realtor and an investor

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Customer Experience is the Best Competitive Advantage – In an industry where trust is everything, direct seller engagement and transparency can separate you from the competition.

    2. Branding and Visibility Build Long-Term Success – Documenting real customer interactions and sharing them publicly strengthens your credibility and attracts more deals.

    3. Patience Pays Off – Consistent follow-up and problem-solving, rather than rushing deals, can lead to higher margins and long-term relationships.

  • EP 74: Lost a Deal? Here’s What Smart Investors Do Next
    Mar 5 2025

    Every real estate investor faces the disappointment of a deal falling through—it’s just part of the game. In this episode of Properties for Profit, I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical steps you need to take when a deal doesn’t close as expected. From avoiding the pitfall of counting your profits too soon to strategies that help prevent deals from slipping away, I’ll walk you through how to stay resilient and keep your business moving forward. Plus, I’ll reveal the proactive steps my team takes to minimize fallout and ensure more contracts make it to closing.

    Episode Highlights:

    [00:00] – Introduction

    [00:49] – The reality of deals falling through and why it happens

    [01:35] – The golden rule: Never assume a deal is done until it’s funded

    [02:20] – Why you should always aim for more deals than you need

    [02:58] – How to stay level-headed when deals don’t close

    [03:20] – The importance of setting seller expectations upfront

    [04:16] – Why follow-up calls can prevent last-minute deal fallout

    [05:34] – The power of proactive communication in keeping deals on track

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Never assume a deal is done until the money is in your account. Many investors make the mistake of mentally spending their profits before closing, which can lead to disappointment and financial mismanagement.

    2. Always secure more deals than you think you need. Deals will inevitably fall through, so setting a higher target ensures you still hit your goals.

    3. Proactive communication reduces fallout. Regular follow-ups with sellers and setting clear expectations from the start can prevent cold feet and last-minute cancellations.
