Hey, Justin. Good to see you, my man.
So it really, it all started for me in Nashville. I'm back in Milwaukee now, but I was in Nashville in 2022, 2023, first part of 23. And I answered a bandit sign. I just called the number and it turns out it was some wholesalers. Yep. Net worth realty. Anyway. Yeah.
Just met with the guys, started realizing like, holy crap, this world of real estate investing, this is something I should have done 10 years ago. And of course, it's the next best time to plant a tree right now. And I just, I went to a, I went to a, yeah, right. I went to a real estate investment association meeting in Nashville.
The room was filled with people, big players, guys that, you know, have been doing it 20, 30 years. and really just got my eyes peeled back to the world of real estate investing. I mean, the verticals were just mind-boggling, you know, from fix and flipping to rentals to multi-units to, like, I met the gentleman who is building the high-rise buildings in downtown Nashville, right?
Like, yeah, just amazing. And it was then I said, you know, that's it. I'm getting into real estate. I'm just going to look learn whatever I can learn, however I learn it, but I'm not stopping and I'm not giving up.
So, you know, here I am back in Milwaukee, working with you in your REI Live, you know, science of flipping was something, you know, that I saw and I looked at and, you know, just all that whole fix and flip. And in reality, Justin, I was like, I don't have the crews. I don't know that I want to manage the crews.
I don't know that I want the downtime carrying costs of when, you know, the crew doesn't show up. All these pitfalls. I mean, yeah, I get it. You make money when you solve people's problems and you're going to run into these pitfalls. But I just wasn't really willing to do it. But I had this attitude that I was not ever going to give up. In fact, I had a bracelet.
I don't have it on right now, but it says never give up, you know. And so I would look at that every day. And, you know, we all have. You know, we all have our reasons. Right. And one of the big things is they're like, what's your what's your why? What's your why? What you know. Right. What is it that make you get up every day? Well, you know, I have my reasons.
I have my whys, you know, and it's always family. And at least it should be right to provide a better a better life for your family. Right. Maybe provide something for your children. Yeah, if they buy into what you're doing and they want to get involved, maybe that idea works. But it's really just to provide a better life for my family.
I can tell you at any time, right? Just making it happen. But don't give up.
Absolutely. Yeah. Fair statement. For sure.
So really, all along, as I was just kind of looking at all of these opportunities out there in the Internet world and the, you know, YouTube education, et cetera, it was it was something that always kind of. Where is the coach? Right. Because I'm I personally am a coach. Right. And I work tight with my athletes. Right. I mean, we have our communication timeline.
So you're not just completely being bombarded by him. But, you know, right. Whether it's once a week. Texting, phone call, whatever. There's a schedule set up. But it's the coaching component that really made the difference. Because a lot of them are like, you know, you join our program and you join our community and we're going to teach you every step of the way. And it's like, not exactly.
What are you doing? But you don't get access to them. You get access through the community and the community is the Facebook page. A lot of times it almost felt like the blind leading the blind a little bit. Yeah, there were definitely seasoned people who had deals and could do deals, but
It wasn't their program, so they didn't have a huge vested interest in really, really helping you understand it, right? Right. And so then I saw you out there. I watched a bunch of your videos, all that kind of stuff, and signed up for Science of Flipping, right? Right. And then you reached out to me with this special offer.
Like, I'm going to take one person from the program, kind of bring them under my wing. So that was a huge opportunity for me. And maybe not everybody gets that. But when you go back to just what you offer in the Science of Flipping, just the library of everything and the daily calls that the Science of Flipping offers. And then...
Here we are with REI Live, and that is more of a bring a deal and we'll make the calls. We'll walk you through it. You're going to learn by example. You're going to listen to us. You're going to just see it all the way that you guys do it, right? And so that's invaluable to just, yeah, you got to carve out that opportunity.
time in the day to get on the call and sit in front of your computer with your video on and get into the conversation, right? But you got to commit to learning. And oftentimes, Justin, I would think to myself, we go to higher education, right? We go to some course to learn it. And we kind of blindly go into that course knowing that if we finish it, we're going to be set up for success, right?
Not necessarily. You get all the education you need, but you still got to execute when you graduate, right? You still got to go find that job. You still got to put in the time for your employer, et cetera, et cetera. And we're all so willing to do that, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so I would think back to that, like, OK, you know, I just blindly went to college. I mean, not blindly, but I went to college with a goal and an objective and just, you know, that's what you do. And you're going to come out on the other end and you're going to get a job and you're going to go to work. And it works. It works. It does. I mean, it works. So why not here?
