Most real estate investors do a few deals a year if they’re lucky. But today’s guest was doing twenty to thirty real estate deals a MONTH. That’s right—not per YEAR, per MONTH. And he did it all while scaling his real estate business at lightning speed. The best part? He didn’t have to use his own money to get there—his deals were being funded completely by private partners, and if you stick around, you’ll know exactly how to do it, too! After closely observing investors while he was a real estate agent, Don’nell Greer got the hang of finding and tackling profitable real estate deals. After much analysis paralysis, he got his first deal under contract—an $80,000 home that needed some heavy sweat equity to make it profitable. With high rents and low home prices, Don’nell knew the deal would work, but he needed more money. Through a family loan, Don’nell realized the power of private money, and once he saw the possibilities, there was no turning back. Fast forward soon after, and Don’nell was borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars from millionaire investors he met through his network. Thanks to the new source of funding, Don’nell was able to flip dozens of houses a month, making a life-changing business in the process. But it wasn’t all good news. Partnership problems, rising interest rates, and changing market dynamics forced Don’nell to make a hard pivot—a pivot you may have to make in the future!
