Have you ever heard of someone who raises capital not for his own but for other people’s deals? Most of us are so focused on raising capital for our own deals that when we do it for others, we tend to make a lot of mistakes, in illegal manners, most of which aren’t really known.

How do you add value in a multi-family property deal and not look like a landlord who just kicks tenants out? Toronto – if not Vancouver – is the most expensive real estate market in Canada, and with the place being so tenant-friendly, some might find it hard to buy and renovate a property there to rent out. But worry no more because our guest today will share his own experience on adding value to a million-dollar property he’s bought! Tune in as we learn from Jesse Fragale. Jesse Fragale is a commercial real estate broker and investor. He started investing in student rental properties a little over ten years ago. As his passion for investing grew, he began investing in single-family homes and condos. Following this, he transitioned to investing in multi-family apartments and that is his focus today. Through his YouTube Channel, Podcast and Bigger Pockets Contributions, Jesse hopes to provide people with simple and straightforward real estate advice and education no matter what investing experience they have. In this episode, Jesse discusses a case study on how they’re doing value-add to a multi-family property in Toronto. Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you'll learn in just 19 minutes from today's episode: How to value-add in a multi-family property The biggest operational challenges on renovating and renting out a property, especially in today’s time How to approach a multi-family property renovation and deal in the midst of this pandemic Resources/Links: Listen to the Working Capital – The Real Estate Podcast. Just go to https://workingcapitalpodcast.com/. Topics Covered: 00:54 – A backgrounder on the multi-family property Jesse is currently working on 02:20 – The value-add philosophy behind the property 05:43 – What could be the fair market value of the property? 06:45 – Are all units the same?

I’m sure it’s colder out by you and some of the cities closer to you, but it gets very cold in Toronto as well. And we’re coming in to the winter, and we’re in a pandemic, so this idea of going through our negotiation process with tenants, it just wasn’t the right time. We don’t want to start the relationship like that, especially in that environment.” – Jesse Fragale “This renovation, they don’t grow on trees, so you have to not just pay and come to an agreement, but you’re putting out quite a bit of capital.” – Jesse Fragale Connect with Jesse Fragale: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JesseFragale/videos Website: https://workingcapitalpodcast.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

Have you been wondering what’s the difference between a multifamily commercial vs an industrial commercial? Do you want to learn how to foresee if your investment has high value in the long run before closing the deal? There’s a difference when running a multi-family to industrial commercial– from fishing out for a deal to closing one. So how should you be choosing deals in the competitive real estate market? Cody Lewis is a founding partner for Vendue Capital, LLC. He is involved in property acquisition, investor relations, and asset management for the company. Prior to Vendue Capital, Cody worked for leading technology companies such as Apple, Verizon Wireless, and CompuComand Jamf in the management of Business-to-Business Sales and Engineering as well as Business Accounts Executive.

In his free time, he enjoys time with his family and his season tickets to Clemson University football games. In this episode, Cody shares the difference of having a multifamily and industrial commercial and how to foresee the value of your investments through IRR. What you’ll learn in just 17 minutes from today’s episode: Find out why you can't just keep on accepting real estate deals without analyzing them in the long run Understand what is IRR and how it can help determine if the real estate is worth investing Know what kind of value you should be looking for when investing in real estate Topics Covered: 01:10 - Cody’s background in real estate investing and journey into scaling into the multifamily space. 03:20 - Why haven’t Cody and his partner been closing deals recently? 06:43 - Cody explains how their competitors are making money with the deals that Cody’s turning down. 07:43 - What does IRR mean? 11:16 - Is Cody starting to look at any other kind of asset classes? 13:22 - Cody’s website: Venduecapital.com Key Takeaways: “If you underwrote any deal back, you know, in 2020, 2021, even this year, a lot of things are still on future value. And there's a ton of risk that you have to take to bring maybe a cap rate that you're seeing.” - Cody Lewis “As those cap rates were just continuing to get compressed, it just didn't make sense. We were looking at well, there's just there's not a lot of value to be added here.” - Cody Lewis “We like to look at things from a long-term standpoint-- five-to-seven-year hold, or even longer, depending on what the market dictates. We underwrite for cash flow, that's our primary focus. We want to make sure regardless of what the value is of the property, if we need to, we can hold it for longer.” - Cody Lewis “The equity is heavily weighted in favor of the passive investors. Well, as that IRR starts to creep up, the equity split starts to balance out or become more in favor of the partnership group, the general partnership group, and it does behoove them to perform at this level.” - Cody Lewis “It was less about these groups performing the property really well and driving the NOI up and adding value to the property, it was more so that the market and the interest rates were really just taking that to the next level.” - Cody Lewis Connect with Cody Lewis: Website: https://www.venduecapital.com/ Email: [email protected] Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

So, it engages curiosity, and they see, you know, this person is with the right people. So, engage with the right people. Because what has worked in my favor is many people who were more advanced than me, I was always focused on adding value to them. And that has in turn brushed upon my rapport.” - Suman Chakraborty “So always add value to people. And that's how they had gained that trust.” - Suman Chakraborty “Always give value, and be in the right people.

Why call everybody, telling them what you’re doing and asking if they want to invest with you, when you can magnify your strength in connecting and attract these people to work with you? There are people like today’s guest, John, who aren’t really shaped to raise capital. Maybe you’re like him at some point, someone who is a natural at being shy. But worry no more, because today, he’ll educate us on his three (3) C’s of attracting capital. Tune in and have investors go after you instead of you chasing them! John Casmon is a real estate entrepreneur who has partnered with busy professionals to invest in over $100 million worth of apartments.

Tune in and listen to https://www.casmoncapital.com/podcast Topics Covered: 01:36 – Why John prefers attracting capital rather than raising it 03:51 – 3 C’s to attract capital: (1) Confidence that comes from preparation 05:29 – 3 C’s to attract capital: (2) Credibility that comes from the experiences you have 08:41 – 3 C’s to attract capital: (3) Connections, starting with the people you know 12:04 – A piece of advice for people who find it hard to create connections and turn conversations into real estate conversations 17:07 – The sample deal package and the podcast Key Takeaways: "First and foremost, you mentioned the three C's to attract capital, and the key word in there is attract because you want it to work like a magnet – you want to pull the money to you as opposed to you pushing or chasing the money; that's not fun.” – John Casmon “That confidence has to come from preparation. If you are not prepared, it's hard to be confident. Yes, you could fake it, but that is not the position you want to be in, particularly when you're dealing with other people's money.” – John Casmon “The credibility comes from the experiences you have. You may not have ever done a deal, but if you've put in the work, if you've prepared, you can be confident in the work you've done. But that credibility is about the work you have done, and maybe it hasn't been a real estate; maybe you're like me, a former corporate executive.” – John Casmon “When most people get tripped up, they say to themselves, “I don't have a network of people who can invest in these kinds of deals. I don't know super rich people or multimillionaires. So how could I ever raise money for these deals?” And the truth is, maybe you don't know those people. But you know what? I don't know all those people either. You have to build your network, and you start with your connections with the people you do know.” – John Casmon “This is something that you can learn. The biggest takeaway is – and I tell my kids this all the time – nothing is easy, nothing is hard. Either you have enough practice and experience where it feels natural or you need more practice and experience. So don't chalk something up as, ‘Oh, it's easy for him to do it, but I can't do it.’ You could do whatever you want to do if you are willing to put in the practice.” – John Casmon Connect with John Casmon: Website: https://www.casmoncapital.com/ Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-casmon-7942454/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcasmon/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jcasmon Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

He started a career in real estate when he was still in college, investing in his own portfolio while brokering properties for clients. Through creativity, persistence, and hard work, he soon joined the ranks of the top one-percent of Realtors in the US, which then led to him being involved in several thousand real estate transactions, owning income properties in 11 states and 17 cities today. Jason’s companies help people achieve The American Dream of financial freedom by purchasing income property in prudent markets nationwide. In this episode, Jason goes through the detailed explanation on why housing is actually cheaper than you think, with his points revolving around the data in St. Louis Federal Reserve’s chart, going through the history of interest rates, mortgage payment, and the market.

And remember, nobody really buys a house on the price of a house; they buy it on the payment of the house.” – Jason Hartman “When everybody’s screaming about housing – ‘So expensive!’ – they’re right if you compare it to 18 months ago, but they’re not right if you compare it to a longer point of history.” – Jason Hartman “Here’s why everybody thinks housing is so expensive – it’s because of something called hedonic adaptation. We, as humans, just keep raising our expectations. We are never content. That’s the nature of human psychology. No matter what we get, we want more; we want better. And that’s exactly what we’re doing here; we’re just expecting more.” – Jason Hartman “Those dollars are worthless. It’s not really that the mortgage payment has gone up; it’s that the value of the dollar has gone down.” – Jason Hartman “Inventory tells the picture.” – Jason Hartman “The market is reacting to the current interest rates; it’s not reacting to the future interest rates.” – Jason Hartman “You’ve got to understand that investing is not about appreciation; that’s just the icing on the cake. The icing has been fantastic the last couple of years; no one will deny that. But what we got to remember is that investing is about yield, and yield comes from cash flow, and rents are skyrocketing. Rents always lag prices by about two to three years. So, rents have gone up already, but they are going up a whole heck of a lot more; they are going to be higher in the next few years. So that’s the other reason that I don’t think investors should be very worried about the market – because they’re investing for yield, not for appreciation, hopefully, and that’s why that matters.” – Jason Hartman Connect with Jason Hartman: Website: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGNsrLsGR1viGHoEbSCabA Podcast: https://www.jasonhartman.com/podcast/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  

Why focus so much on your weakness when you can give light to your strengths and take advantage of them in your life and in your career? That’s what this episode is about, focusing on your strengths rather than your weakness and making them into your own “superpower” which you can, later on, use to your advantage in your real estate career. Angel Williams is a Co-Founder of The Academy Presents and a Managing Partner of Lorren Capital, LLC. She has experience in SF rentals, Residential MF rentals, MF Syndication, and Oil and Gas investing. Angel received a BBA from Baylor University in 2000, and an MS in Economics in 2002.

The hope is that you're going to go to events, and if you're an introvert, you're just going to have to figure out how to go to events and just get a few people.” - Angel Williams “If you are that introverted person, find you a loud extrovert friend that is willing to be your wingman or your wing woman at an event because they can start the conversations and break the ice. And then you can enter the conversations when you feel comfortable because you don't have to do it alone. And we all have friends.” - Angel Williams “Your extrovert friends, they don't care what the event is.” - Angel Williams “And if you're afraid that you don't have any real estate investor friends yet, I'm telling you, go back to that loud extrovert friend of yours because they will accompany you anywhere.” - Angel Williams Connect with Angel Williams: Website: http://www.theacademypresents.com/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/REIRocksCommunity/?ref=share LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angel-williams-re/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

A good deal basically takes hustle, knowledge, and money. And so, if you can do two of those, if you can find the deal and if you have the knowledge how to run it, chances are you’d probably find someone who has capital.” – Eric Nelson “It turns out that opposite opinions are actually great. It's a healthy debate that really produces the best solution.” – Eric Nelson “Sometimes, it just takes a push from a friend, from your spouse, or even from yourself, to say ‘Let’s go’. And a lot of times, you'll make mistakes, and that's okay. As long as they're not detrimental, learn from it, get better, and move on.

Just let that sink in. You've got to do all three for that stability.” – Adam Adams “The thing that I do intentionally every time is I forget about myself and I only think about the person on the other side. Something almost miraculous happens when you make that shift and you focus on the service instead of yourself. You don't care that you stutter anymore. You don't care if you're slouching or standing up and looking awkward or whatever it is. You just start to feel more natural, and your words, your thoughts, and your efforts are on serving that person.” – Adam Adams “That which you persist in doing will become easier to do. You just got to keep focusing, and it will eventually give you endless potential. So just keep doing it.” – Adam Adams “There's a lot of people that are afraid to even have a social media or they just don't want to put themselves out there or they don't want people to see them or find them. But what I've noticed, when you want to have real influence – and we're calling these the three pillars of influence, three-legged stool, you need all three – if that's what you're looking for, you have to realize and understand that most people, when they're going to vet you, they're going to Google you. They're going to look for your Facebook. They're going to look for your LinkedIn. They're going to look for you online. They're going to see what types of pictures you post. As they get to know who you are, as they get to see that stuff, see you with your sweetheart, see you're doing your hobbies, they get to know you and it allows them to trust you more because they find your social.” – Adam Adams “They're all the most important. They are all critical. You can't have the success that you dream of without having a little bit of all three of these.” – Adam Adams Connect with Adam Adams: Website: https://growyourshow.com/ Podcast: https://podcast.growyourshow.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  

Can you say the same thing with other real estate investment portfolios where value increases even during the pandemic despite catering to the bottom-level financially capacitated market besides being recession-proof? I am referring to Section 8 investing. Let's dive into this topic and find out what more exciting things to look forward to in this market. Rhett Wiseman is known as the Section 8 guy and has written an e-book called the Ultimate 101 Guide to Section 8 Real Estate. In this episode, Rhett shares how he has been involved in Section Eight investing for almost a decade and finds it lucrative even amid the pandemic and economic recessions. He has never seen it that way with other investment portfolios that he owns.

And make sure those two things can work to be profitable." - Rhett Wiseman "Being able to provide a nice home for people who have less than I do, and who might be coming out of an awful situation, creating a really nice living environment for somebody gives people a chance to get out of that situation. That I took much pride in." - Rhett Wiseman "The government has shown that they print more money when things go bad, so you don't have to worry about them running out of money, so you get cash flowing monthly." - Rhett Wiseman "Section Eight investing is one of the only things that is recession-proof. I've had a Section A portfolio through two government shutdowns, a mini-recession at the beginning of COVID, March 2020, and a global pandemic. And the only thing that's happened throughout all of those dire circumstances is that my portfolio has gone up in value.

Do you want to learn how to structure a deal in a way that it won’t be a security? Most people who are into real estate investing are already familiar with syndication and crowdfunding, but there are still those who confuse deals structured as a joint venture with those as a security.

Gene Trowbridge has 20 years of experience in real estate syndication and 25 years as a syndication (SEC) lawyer. He is one of the founding partners of the Trowbridge Law Group LLC, where his law practice focuses on the syndication of commercial and investment real estate, through both debt and equity.

A syndication could be a joint venture. It could be a limited partnership [with] two or more people; it could be an LLC – whatever entity you want to combine these people together legally.” – Gene Trowbridge “If you’re in the deal together, the only way you can do it and not make it a security with two people is you put together an LLC and the two members go forward, making equal and unanimous decisions. That’s the only way you can do it. If you make it a limited partnership, you’re in trouble, because in a limited partnership, there is a general partner, and a general partner, by definition, makes it a security. So it has to be a member-managed LLC.” – Gene Trowbridge Connect with Gene Trowbridge: Website: https://trowbridgelawgroup.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClKK5l9ng1bkW-ihHufDgGA Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

Flipping is not the path to it when you want time, freedom, and wealth in your real estate business. But, how do you flip without building another job for yourself and instead create passive income? Chris Bounds is a real estate investor and Top 0.5% growth leader at eXp Realty with over $65 million in transactions. With his wife Jamie, Chris has used more than $19 million from private lenders and equity partners to flip over 200 properties. Together they have $44 million in assets under management, including close to 400 single-family and multifamily units.

These rentals that we held, and when we finally would dispose of them to sell them after a three or five-year window, we made so much more money. And the flips were much more of a headache, a lot of timelines, and then when something went wrong, your margins took a hit. You may even lose money on a deal or two." - Chris Bounds "It's a monster [Flipping] you must constantly feed to keep the machine running. I'm not against flipping. But at the end of the day, you understand it's a job, and you're not building wealth and passive income flipping." - Chris Bounds "This is why I tell folks, if you need the money, like flipping, there's nothing wrong with it. But at the end of the day, especially in a low inventory environment, if you have the skill set to find good deals and get them at the prices that make sense, hold as many of them as you can because otherwise, you build a job for yourself." - Chris Bounds  Connect with Chris Bounds: Website: https://www.investedagents.com/community/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

When you’re first starting out, running lean and running fast is the best way to the money, then taking that money and investing it back in.” – Bryce McKinley “People make it so much more difficult than what it is. Sure, there’s micro-processes on each step, but if you understand the flow of the deal and the process, all of those other things, you just learn with time and repetition.” – Bryce McKinley “That one standalone Motivation or Money will never be truly solved if you don’t know what is FOR.” – Bryce McKinley “I don’t believe that people will always do business with people they know, like, and trust. They do business with people they know, they like, or trust, but they always do business with people that have a similar belief system. When they know that you care, they will care about what you know.” – Bryce McKinley “It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it.” – Bryce McKinley Connect with Bryce McKinley: Website: https://5HourFlip.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoachSharpen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachsharpen/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

When everything else looks the same, and the price and quality are similar; how do you get yourself differentiated and be chosen from the rest? That's where branding comes in. And when truly dialed in, that's what makes all the difference. Paul Copcutt is a 15-year personal brand strategist, speaker, and podcast host whose personal branding insights have been featured in Forbes, Reuters, The Wall St Journal, Globe & Mail and Financial Post. In this episode, Paul shares how you can let people distinctly know what you do, who you do it for, and why you're different, and be not just a brand but a differentiated brand.

But it differentiates you. If the listener thinks about any brand they know or love, chances are, it's not about the product or service they're buying. It's the emotional connection they've made to that brand." - Paul Copcutt "Your emotional attributes will be why somebody wants to hire you, work with you, or loan new investment money versus somebody else because they've made that emotional connection. And equally, sometimes, that emotional connection is not there, and it's not a good fit. And it's equally good to know that and go away from the project because it will be a nightmare." - Paul Copcutt "If you can get very clear about what it is you do, who you do it for, and why you're different, hopefully in 10 to 12 words, that's easy for somebody to remember." - Paul Copcutt Connect with Paul Copcutt: Website: https://reibranded.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcopcutt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulcopcutt/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

Having experienced both worlds, the UK and Canada, it's best to hear what works and what doesn't for each country.

Why don't you buy four houses between 50 grand each, rent them out for 20 years and pay the mortgage down? There's a million bucks, no rocket science. And that was pretty much how I attracted capital within my network." - Gary Spencer-Smith "I can create myself a job. That's where we did the property management; I can do jobs within real estate; I pay myself an hourly rate to fix stuff and build and renovate and all that kind of stuff. And then I create some wealth on the back end. So, it was like a little three-step strategy that I had." - Gary Spencer-Smith "A lot of us get sold on the latest shiniest thing that you follow, and you're spending money on, and a lot of the times we forget as I did to take a step back and let real estate fund the life that you want to live." - Gary Spencer-Smith Connect with Gary Spencer-Smith: Website: http://www.revnyou.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revnyou YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RevNYou/featured Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

Fear is the one thing that's keeping most of us from getting started. And part of that reason is one's idea of perfecting everything before starting. And that is not helping and getting us anywhere. The same thing with real estate; it is only with taking action, even how imperfect they are, that we move along and get things to happen. Frans Calderon came from Colombia, South America in 2008 with the intention to learn to invest in real estate. He purchased his first property in 2009 and since then his real estate business has been growing. Now he owns more than 50 rental properties, and works in multifamily and development deals. In this episode, Frans shares how he overcame fears to start a real estate investing business as he relates his own story of not knowing anything much about real estate when he started. He underscored the idea of seeking help and stuffing himself with knowledge through mentors and by securing an education on related matters. And that is how he managed to stay afloat and become successful in a completely new place in real estate.

And investment real estate, when I did my research fit that bill." - Rick Harris "What would I do differently if I was to start over again? First of all, I wouldn't buy the white picket fence; I would buy a duplex or a bungalow. And the other thing I do is I would go and get a part-time job, even if it was three hours a week, and put that money down towards the principal." - Rick Harris "Don't give up your day job, don't give up your career; you have to have a comfort level. And I'm also not suggesting having all your eggs in one basket.

I pretty much had to replace about half of my gross income that I had at Apple." - Fernando Aires "I incorrectly thought that I could be healthy and eat whatever I wanted and just survive with so much exercise. And you can never do that; you can never get healthy by not eating correctly." - Fernando Aires "Fasting is the biggest bio-hack of all. It's a cleansing. No wonder all religions or cults in the world have some fasting period. It's truly both a mental and spiritual but also a physical cleansing that happens." - Fernando Aires "You need to have the discipline that has proven that I am many years younger biologically than I am chronologically. All of that proves that it works, and I feel great and still play soccer at a high level. I travel, and I am constantly being told that I don't look my age. It kind of itself propels you into staying in that mode." - Fernando Aires Connect with Fernando Aires: Website: https://fernandoaires.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau

So, I hired a marketing coach. And then everything blew up." - Sarah Sullivan "Educate, educate, educate. Let people know how much you know. And so, even though you may not have a ton of experience in everything, there's something that you know a lot about. And then they're going to realize how smart you are in that area. And then that grows trust and competence." - Sarah Sullivan "Be intentional with each event. Is the purpose to build trust, is the purpose to educate? And you want to make sure that in your series, you're building trust and building education. And also, another really key thing is to educate while you're not asking them to invest." - Sarah Sullivan "You don't want to be asking someone to make an emotional decision while they're learning at the same time." - Sarah Sullivan "Partner earlier because two heads are better than one, like trying to do it on your own. I have a very specific set of skills and someone else has very complementary skills and what they like to do and are good at, so let's partner, and we'll do eight times as much together as I would do on my own." - Sarah Sullivan Connect with Sarah Sullivan: Website: https://sarahs360.com/ Connect with Dave Dubeau: Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/ Website: https://davedubeau.com/home Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau
