For whatever reason, most real estate agents shy away from partnering with investors. But here's the thing: Rehabbers and wholesalers are already spending tens of thousands of dollars every month on motivated seller leads. They convert about 10% of those and throw the rest away! So, what if you could turn those turndowns into listings? Chris Craddock is the Founder and CEO of The Redux Group, a real estate team out of Northern Virginia built around an investor-agent lead generation model. His team specializes in closing on distressed properties, selling nearly $120M in volume last year. Chris is also the creator of the REI Agent Program and the co-host of Uncommon Real Estate, a podcast dedicated to helping agents and investors grow their business with creative real estate solutions. Chris shares where to find real estate investor partners and what his team does to build relationships with these rehabbers and wholesalers. He explains how his team closes on investor referral leads at a high level, turning trash into cash and commanding an above-average commission.

Ep204 • Real Estate Investing Franchise with Mark Stubler

Brandon Barnes is a real estate investor and owner of REI Live! Atlanta, a monthly meetup group. After being fired from his job as a production supervisor, he made an immediate pivot and chose to become a real estate investor and master a strategy called wholesaling. Many times, Brandon was faced with a difficult choice, get another job and spend years trapped in a cubicle or work toward becoming a successful entrepreneur; with his back against the wall, he chose to keep his eyes on the prize as an entrepreneur. He quickly scaled his real estate company within 1 year and then got fired, but this time was different: he fired himself. This gave Brandon the flexibility to focus on building the business and leading his team. His team now operates his company successfully without his day-to-day involvement. He is passionate about sharing his expertise and coaching students to take action and make money in real estate with his Send More Offers Coaching Program. We chat about:  “Offers-over-Appointments” Strategy #1 Factor Successful Wholesalers Achieve in less than 6 months. The Right versus Wrong Way to Analyze Deals.
