My nine year old son asked me a question in the car that stopped me cold.

Dad, if you could have anything in life, anything at all with no limits, what would it be?

I sat there for almost two minutes before I answered.

I have the businesses, the house, my health, and my family. None of that came to mind first.

What I told him was that I want my life to actually mean something.

Part 2. If you missed it, I had a $1.2 million property under contract with 24 hours to fund it and no cash of my own.

A mentor asked me which is more scarce, money or a good deal. I said money. He told me I was wrong.

A real deal doesn't come around often. Whoever holds the deal holds the leverage, not whoever holds the cash.

That conversation changed how I've raised capital ever since.

I had a property under contract for $1.2 million. The appraisal came back at $2.1 million.

I had 24 hours to figure out how to fund it. No savings. No wealthy friends. Nothing to fall back on.

This was every dollar I had made in my adult life, times five. I could not afford to fail.

Part 2 of this story goes up tomorrow.

No capital. No connections. No time.

Stationed in Hawaii on active duty, six hours ahead of the East Coast. Couldn't call sellers before work or after work.

The only window I had was a 50 minute lunch break in my car with headphones on. My lunch was a protein shake for four and a half years.

One hour a day built the foundation of the whole business.

Michael Hoang said he is leaving his money to charity, not to his children.

I went further than he did.

Run the math with me. Average life expectancy for men in the United States is somewhere around seventy five. Your kids are typically twenty to thirty years behind you. So when you go, they are in their forties or fifties.

If your son or daughter has not built financial literacy by then, if they are not financially responsible at forty five years old, and you drop a large sum of money on them, you are going to ruin your child.

That is your last act before you see the other side.

I hate that.

We should be spending that time teaching our kids about money, business, people, sales, marketing. Real skills that make them effective in their own right, so their financial future is not waiting on our death.

Michael put it better than I did. He said you do not want to turn your kids into a bunch of waiters. Meaning they are waiting around for you to die.

His plan is to hand them the education instead of the balance.

I am curious where you land on this one, because I know it is not universal.

Michael Hoang's first deal was not a flip. It was not a wholesale. It was the house he lived in.

Five bedrooms in an older neighborhood, rougher part of town. He rented out three of them at six to seven hundred dollars a room.

That covered his mortgage and part of his utilities.

He was not trying to live for free. His goal was to cover half. He figured half would put him miles ahead of everybody paying a full payment every month.

He covered all of it.

Then there is the part most people miss. He found it on market, as a first time buyer, and his lender knew about a regional grant program for first time homebuyers.

He walked away from the closing table with an eight hundred dollar check.

He got paid to buy a house that he then lived in for free. He stayed four and a half years.

Those grant programs are regional, not state level, and they change constantly. Most people never hear about them because they never ask a lender who works in that specific pocket.

Eight years into investing before I learned this.

I was so focused on quick flips that I missed the bigger play. Every property I sold and moved on from is one I don't own today.

Wealth isn't just what you make. It's what you keep.

Everybody says the listed deals are picked over.

I am going live Friday, August 7 at 6:00 PM ET to show you the opposite.

The Full Price Offer. How to get your first or next deal in 90 days, using the on-market listings everyone else scrolls past.

Here is my case.

Off-market is crowded. Same skip traced list, same numbers, same seller telling you that you are the five hundredth wholesaler to call today.

On-market is different for one reason. Those sellers already raised their hand. They already said out loud that they have a house and they want to sell it.

Most investors scroll past those listings because the asking price does not fit a formula they were taught.

But price is one variable. Terms are a lever. Timeline is a lever. Financing type is a lever. Contingencies are a lever.

I have bought deals in 34 states. The ones I teach from are not the ones where I ground a seller down on price. They are the ones where I got the structure right.

On the call I will analyze real deals live on camera. Bring yours. ARV, repairs, asking price, days on market. No addresses, no seller names.

I will tell you whether it is dead, whether it is a wholesale, or whether it is the one everybody missed.

Technology should create leverage.

That only works if you pick the right technology.

Most investors buy tools one at a time off a demo video and hope it fits. Then they end up with three platforms that don't talk to each other and call it a system.

REI Tech Unlocked puts many of the top platforms serving real estate investors in one room. You compare them side by side, with the people who built them standing right there to answer for them.

September 19-21 in Dallas.

Our community gets 50% off with code REIAUTOMATED50. The code comes off the table tonight.
