This leap of faith has since evolved into an expert off-market acquisition company that employs various exit strategies, including wholesaling, wholetailing, flipping, and retaining properties as rentals. Jeremy’s passion for real estate and his genuine desire to help others achieve financial freedom led to the founding of REI Freedom. The company focuses on helping part-time investors transition into full-time roles by developing their acquisition and disposition skills. In its first year, REI Freedom welcomed 25 students into the program, many of whom successfully closed deals within 90 days and continued to build momentum with ongoing support. As REI Freedom continues to grow, Jeremy remains dedicated to his students, ensuring they have the tools and guidance needed to take their real estate investing to the next level and create a life of financial independence. &nbsp; CONNECT WITH JEREMY&nbsp;  Website:  LinkedIn:  Facebook:  YouTube:  Instagram:      🔊 LISTEN &amp; SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLIP EMPIRE SHOW (PODCAST) on Apple Podcasts ▶︎ &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 📺 SUBSCRIBE TO ALEX PARDO’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW ▶︎  &nbsp; 🚀 How to Buy Your 1st Storage Facility within 6-12 Months ▶︎ &nbsp; &nbsp; FOLLOW ALEX ON: ★ INSTAGRAM →  ★ FACEBOOK →  ★ LINKEDIN →  ★ YOUTUBE →  ★ TIKTOK → &nbsp; &nbsp;

EP787: Unconventional Lead Gen Strategies that Work - Nicholas Nick

I'm a family guy, entrepreneur, real estate investor, coach, adventurer, sports enthusiast, and love helping people.

I'm the founder of FlipEmpire.com and its parent company, Creative RE-Solutions, LLC, and have flipped well over 300 properties.

I graduated from college in 2002 with a Finance and M.I.S. degree, and went to work for General Electric's Financial Management Program (in their Consumer Finance division). At the time, I had aspirations of becoming a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but sometime during my third month on the job, after working an average of 75 hours a week, I quickly realized that I wasn't going to create the lifestyle I envisioned working for someone else.

I completed my two-year commitment to the company, and fired my bosses in January 2005. A few months later, I went backpacking around Europe & Africa with a few buddies, and while partying in Ibiza, Spain, I received a call from a friend who invited me to a "Marketing for Deals" boot camp that coming month.

This was my "fork in the road". I had financed my 3-month trip on my credit card, was in debt, and had no income. The cost of the event was $997, and after a few minutes of internal debate, I bought the ticket, and booked my flight. I had committed to start a real estate business, and was going to make it happen one-way or the other. Less than two months after that boot camp, I closed my first deal and made $44,000 (which almost replaced my income with GE)!

Flip Empire is a resource and soon-to-be community of successful real estate investors, run by me, Alex Pardo, to teach you proven strategies for running and automating a successful real estate investing business.

I created Flip Empire with you in mind. I've been fortunate to experience the freedom this business can provide, and it's my goal to help you experience your Freedom.

Thanks for reading this! I'd love to have you join me, and my community of successful real estate investors, and allow us to help you build your Flip Empire.
