163 - Can You Make More Money Wholesaling If You’re a Real Estate Agent
Real estate agents can benefit from investing in real estate by diversifying their income streams and building wealth. They also have access to industry knowledge and resources that can help them find good investment opportunities. That being said, it is possible to be a successful real estate investor without becoming a real estate agent. Many successful investors have no formal real estate training and have learned through trial and error or by working with a mentor or team. However, deciding whether to become an agent before investing in real estate depends on personal circumstances and goals. To answer that ongoing debate, Zack and James Michener will discuss the necessity of a real estate license for investing in today's show. Key Takeaways The story of how he got his real estate license You can get deals at a low price by using driving for dollars. You can do pocket listings and stray away from the traditional routes. Why being on the investor side is much better than being an agent. If we don't know how to buy assets and learn how to invest, then we won't get the freedom that we want.

162 - The 3 Biggest Seller Objections…and How to Overcome Them
Real estate wholesalers often encounter seller objections when negotiating a deal to purchase a property. However, sellers may have objections to the offer or terms of the agreement, and it is the wholesaler's job to try to overcome these objections to reach an agreement. Some common seller objections that wholesalers may encounter include concerns about the price, the property's condition, the closing process, or the potential for a sale to fall through. Wholesalers need to be prepared to address these objections and find a solution that meets both the seller's needs and their own. In this episode, Zack will outline some strategies wholesalers can use to overcome seller objections. Key Takeaways We don't want to get uncomfortable; that's why many people don't like hiring mentors for fear of failure Label the problem after a fact Voice your conversations out loud and practice negotiating Getting all the decision-makers to be in the same room with you is a must Comfort wouldn't lead you to progress. What leads you to gain is forward motion If you don't address the problem, you can't fix them Resources Driving for Dollars Mastery

No matter how well-seasoned you are in real estate, there’s no denying the fact that sometimes sale agreements fall through.

To avoid mishaps like this along the way, listen to Zack as he gives you the secret ingredient on how to save a wholesale and get that shiny paycheck that you deserve.

The only thing that matters is what the end-buyers are willing to pay.
