Agents are April's number one source of deals, hands down. But when you're just starting out, you call one, leave a voicemail, and hear... nothing. And it's easy to assume they're not interested. Usually that's not it. You just sounded like everybody else who calls them. Here's how April gets agents to actually call back: Lead with what you do, not what you want. "I buy houses in your area and I close fast" lands a lot better than "do you have any deals?" One sounds like a real buyer. The other sounds like a tire kicker. Give them your buy box in one breath. If an agent can picture exactly what you buy, they can match you to a deal on the spot. If they can't, you're forgettable. Give them a reason to remember you. One clear sentence they can repeat to a seller, like "I know a cash buyer who closes in 14 days and takes it as-is, so you don't have to fix a thing." That's the whole game April teaches: be a magnet for leads so agents bring the deals to you, instead of chasing them. This stuff really clicks when April walks it live. If you couldn't make yesterday's call, no worries, but you'll want to catch the next one. She goes live every Wednesday at 3:30pm EST.

It isn't. The smartest property buyers don't just buy a house, they buy location, future demand, and long-term value. One small decision before purchasing can make the difference between owning a property that appreciates significantly, or one that barely grows in value. Would you know what to look for before signing the paperwork? Drop your thoughts below, or ask your biggest property question. I'll answer as many as I can.

After years in the property business, I've learned that success rarely comes from waiting for the perfect opportunity. It comes from understanding the numbers, building strong relationships, staying consistent, and knowing how to solve problems when they arise. I've seen great opportunities pass people by because they were waiting for everything to line up perfectly. On the other hand, I've watched experienced investors turn average deals into profitable ones simply because they had the right strategy and network. Whether you're wholesaling, buying rentals, flipping properties, or just getting started, your ability to learn, adapt, and connect with the right people will often matter more than finding a once in a lifetime deal. That's one of the reasons I enjoy being part of communities like this. Everyone has a different journey, and there's always something valuable to learn from someone else's experience. I'd love to hear from you: What's one lesson you've learned in real estate that you wish someone had taught you when you were starting out?

Hi all, I’ve been struggling with keeping track of leads who are interested but not ready to make a move yet, and I know a lot of people here have been too. I spent some time working through it last week, and here’s a simple way I solved it for less than $10/m: 1. Create a Google Sheet with each lead’s name, contact information, situation, and expected timeline. 2. Add a “next follow-up date” column so every conversation has a clear next step. 3. Use a simple automation tool to send yourself a reminder whenever that follow-up date arrives. 4. Update the date after each conversation so the lead stays on your radar without relying on memory. It is nothing complicated, but it gives you a simple way to stay in front of people who may not be ready today but could become a real opportunity later. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏

What Is a Real Estate Lead? Let's clear up something that trips up almost every new investor: the difference between a lead, a prospect, and a deal. A lead is anyone who might sell someday. That's it. They do not have to be ready right now. A prospect is a lead you have actually started a conversation with. A deal is when the numbers work and you are under contract. Here is the mistake I see all the time. Beginners throw away leads because the person "isn't ready yet." But not ready today is still a lead. Your only job is to build a list of them and stay in front of them until the timing is right. And the fastest way to find these leads without cold calling a single homeowner? Get agents sending them to you. Agents talk to motivated sellers every single day. That is exactly what we work on together. Come hang out on our free call this Wednesday at 3:30pm EST and I will show you how to get agents working for you. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87105007205?pwd=966xaopMI5fyecfqRz6JAJIc2aZGv3.1
