We Almost Got Into a Real Fight About Strategy | Ep. 202
Things got a little heated on this one.And the funny part is... this wasn't even supposed to be a podcast.We were hanging out with Ben Humble after last week's episode when Cam started pressing him on his system for finding real estate deals - and the debate took off from there.The conversation was too good NOT to share, so... here's the accidental podcast.In this episode:🞄 Ben and Cam debate what it ACTUALLY takes to consistently find great deals🞄 Why your market might be the problem - not your acquisition system🞄 The difference between being a real estate investor and building a real estate business🞄 Why success online doesn't always mean someone is great at what they teach🞄 The surprisingly complicated ethics of wholesaling real estateNobody really backed away from disagreement on this one.We got into everything from acquisition systems and scaling into new markets to authenticity, wholesaling, and whether the industry needs more regulation.And somewhere in the middle... Cam attempted a handstand.Drop a comment: Where do YOU draw the ethical line with wholesaling? And the more important question: Can Cam do handstands, or is it all just talk?Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 for more conversations about real estate, business, financial freedom, and building a BetterLife.00:00 – Things Got a Little Heated...07:32 – Ben's 5 Filters for Finding Better Deals16:09 – The Real Advantage: Collaboration & Leverage24:11 – Real Estate Investors vs. Real Estate Business Owners31:36 – Why This Debate Got Personal38:22 – Is Wholesaling Real Estate Unethical?48:32 – Should Wholesalers Be Regulated?57:09 – Where Does the Ethical Line Actually Sit?🧔♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!

Escaping Communism to Buy 300 Houses with Ben Humble | Ep. 201
Ben Humble escaped communist Romania as a kid, lived in a refugee camp, moved to Canada, failed math twice, started a cleaning business... and somehow ended up doing hundreds of real estate deals.So yeah, we had a lot to talk about.Ben joins Cam and me for a conversation about his journey into real estate, the lessons he learned after trying just about every strategy in the book, and the framework that eventually changed the way he looks at buying properties entirely.We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ego, humility, social media, and whether successful people have a responsibility to share what they've learned.In this episode:🞄 Ben's wild story of escaping communism and eventually finding real estate🞄 Why humility might actually be a business superpower🞄 The problem with treating real estate like “passive income”🞄 Ben's “Four Exits” framework for buying deals with multiple options🞄 Why serious investors should be making WAY more offers🞄 The debate over cash flow, equity, and what actually makes a good dealOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation:Most investors spend all their energy trying to decide whether they should flip, wholesale, BRRRR, or hold rentals.Ben uses a framework that looks at it differently.It's a framework Ben and I actually disagreed about at first... until I eventually had to admit his system was better than mine.You'll be seeing a lot more of Ben around here (and inside First Deal!) going forward.Drop a comment: What's more important to you when buying a rental - cash flow or equity?Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 for more conversations about real estate, business, financial freedom, and building a BetterLife.00:00 – We're Back in the Interview Seat07:08 – Ben's Escape From Communist Romania17:08 – Humility, Ego & the Problem With Perfection29:09 – From Cleaning Business to 300 Real Estate Deals36:49 – The Four Exits Framework46:00 – Why Most Investors Aren't Making Enough Offers55:30 – Finding Great Deals Is a Numbers Game01:01:02 – Should Your Rentals Even Cash Flow?01:07:32 – What's Next for Ben & First Deal🧔♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!

The Three WORST Real Estate Deals We've Made
Every investor has these. The deal they knew was sketchy, and bought anyway. The one where they ignored the red flags. The one where they just flat out didn't know what they were doing yet.In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I each share our three worst deals. What we paid. What went wrong. What it cost us. And what we'd do differently.Cam took an $80,000 loss on a house where the previous flippers hadn't pulled a single permit, meaning he had to gut the entire thing twice. I worked 12 months straight on a duplex, lost $15,000, and then watched that same property hit half a million dollars years later after I'd already sold it at 120.We also talk about what happens when you stop paying attention to a property that's been running fine, why turning down that first weekend offer is almost always a mistake, and why all three of Cam's bad deals were outside his buy box.We don't share these to scare you off. Deals go bad. That's part of it. The goal is just that when yours does, it's not one of these.🧔♂️ WHO AM I? My name is Brandon Turner!

The 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team
My very first employee had never used a computer.I hired her to be my digital assistant. Day one, I said, "Go to your desktop," and she asked what that was.That was hire number one. It got more complicated from there.I've read a lot about hiring. Talked to a lot of people about it. But mostly I've just done it wrong enough times to figure out what actually works. And in this episode, I'm laying out the whole thing: the 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team.We talk about why your first hire is probably not who you think it is. How to run candidates through a process that filters out the wrong people before you're three months in and miserable. What real onboarding looks like versus what most people do, which is basically nothing. And why recruiting is something you should be doing all the time, not just when you're desperate and stressed and need someone yesterday.Hiring is leverage. Get it right, and it compounds. Get it wrong, and you'll feel it for a long time.📚 Book mentioned: Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell → https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Back-Your-Time-Entrepreneurial/dp/0593539257Traction by Gino Wickman → https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837🧔♂️ WHO AM I?

That's how you go broke while feeling busy and successful.In this episode, I'm breaking down the Profit First method that changed how I manage money, why profit has to come out first (not whatever's left over at the end), the simple bank account system that forces financial discipline, and why setting your lifestyle at your peak revenue months is one of the most dangerous things you can do.Revenue is vanity.
