Today we're going to be talking about self-storage, and not with just anybody. Alex Pardo is really doing it, and I've known Alex for a long time. He was running a very successful house-wholesaling business before he made the pivot to self-storage. I remember thinking he may have blown it and that storage was just a fad, but I was way wrong!Here, we talk about why you should consider self-storage as another asset class and as a complement to your existing land or house flipping business. This is a strategy you can start with just a little bit of time and money. Alex shares his best and worst deals, why he moved from houses to storage, cap rates, and why storage isn’t just another fleeting trend.

Today, we're going to be talking about how to fund your land deals from a different perspective. Let's talk about it from the perspective of somebody who actually lends money on deals. With all of these licensing laws that are being passed in different states, making it illegal, immoral and fattening to wholesale properties that you don't own yet, it's hard to put them on the MLS. It's hard to get a realtor to help you if you don't own it yet. You don't have to use your own money to fund deals. You can use OPM, other people's money. There are a lot of funding companies out there. Here, we’re talking to Logan Swanson about how he actually lends money on deals, what he's looking for, and how he underwrites the deals. We cover how to present a deal to a private lender and the things you need to be aware of.

I want to talk about the fastest way to a deal, and I don't think you're going to like it. I'll be the first to admit I'm not going to like it either. It’s called the Flap Your Lips method, where you pick up the phone and make some phone calls. Talk to more people. Listen, I can almost guarantee you can do a deal if you talk to five people a day, every day, and you make an offer to every person that you talk to. It's a simple thing, right? If you make five offers per weekday and make an offer to every seller you talk to, that's 25 offers a week and 100 offers a month. Maybe you get a deal during those 100 offers. The more you do, the better your chances will be. Here, I’ll tell you how to talk to realtors and give you three things to do if you want to start making more money.What’s Inside:—Why talking to people leads to more offers—Three things you can start doing today to make more money—How to find and talk to realtors

I love the game of golf, right? It's always challenging. It's always pushing me to learn and practice.

Jeremy is a wholesaler here in Saint Louis and we’re talking about a vacant land deal that we just did. We netted about $20,682 in profit and Jeremy is one of the best guys I know in the industry. We’ve done houses together for a long time. Just a few months ago, I started telling Jeremy about land and we decided to do some land deals together in southwest Missouri in the Ozarks. Jeremy's a hard money lender and a wholesaler who likes to do the stuff that I don't like to do. He likes to go out and talk to sellers, meet with the sellers, negotiate deals, get them under contract, then flip them and sell them. I'm good at behind-the-scenes stuff. I like to do the marketing, generate the leads, set up the systems, give him the VAs, and all that stuff he doesn't like to do. And then we split the profits. Here, we show you how it’s done.What’s Inside:—Details on a recent successful land deal—Why you should let sellers talk—How to advertise properties
