We just hit 600 members in this group — what a milestone! Thought this would be a great chance to re-introduce ourselves and welcome the newer faces. Most of you already know Tim Whitman (because let’s be real, he’s in here more than the admins), but for those who don’t know me yet — I’m Josh. I’ve been in real estate for 21 years, own a mortgage company, flip homes in Southern California, and still take on clients with every real estate need I can help them with. My goal is to not be in the day-to-day trenches, but to provide you guys with those leads so I could do more stuff like this. I started this community because I wish something like this existed when I was coming up — a place where agents could get real advice, support, and opportunities to grow. Whether you’re here to learn about investing, level up your real estate business, or just need a community that actually gets it — you’re in the right spot. Let’s try to get at least 50 members to introduce themselves in the comments — tell us where you’re based, what you specialize in, and what kind of deals you’re looking for. That way we know where to send off-market listings, fix and flip deals, wholesale opportunities, and even team-up chances for buyers, sellers, and investments. This platform is meant to be more than just posts — let’s make it a true community. Looking forward to learning, sharing, and doing deals with all of you

Hey DBR community!!! I figured i would start my journey here. I'm building my buyer list, do we have any investors here in the group? I'd love to chat with you and ascertain your buybox, lets make some deals happen!

Hey guys!! Here’s the sheet for the 75 Hard Business Edition if you want to share it with the team! This challenge is all about growing your business and pushing yourself to stay disciplined for 75 days straight. Here’s how it works: You pick 7 of the activities listed below and do them every single day for 75 days straight. No excuses. It’s about consistency and growth. Let’s level up! Daily Activities to Choose From: 1. Work on your business for at least 1 hour (strategy, marketing, or operations). 2. Create 1 piece of content every day (social media post, blog, video, etc.). 3. Reach out to 5 potential leads or clients (networking, cold calling, follow-up). 4. Read 10 pages of a business book (something that will help you grow as an entrepreneur). 5. Track and review your business metrics daily (check how your marketing, sales, and team are doing). 6. Complete a 30-minute workout (can be anything—physical health is important!). 7. Eat healthy and drink a gallon of water (maintain good habits for your overall health). 8. Do something outside of your comfort zone (learn a new skill, attend a networking event, etc.). The Rules: - Pick 7 activities to do every day for 75 days straight. - If you miss a day, you start over at Day 1. - Stay accountable by checking in with the community regularly. Randa and I talked about this in our Zoom call yesterday, and we’re both in! Who’s ready to take on the challenge and level up their business? Let’s get to work! 💪

Hey All, i got perhaps the most rudimentary of questions, but also one of the most opaque in our industry as it is up to opinion and levels of risk tolerance. But what constitutes a "Good Deal" in everyone's opinion. I'm looking for specifics here, like 30% ROI after reno, 7% cap if renting? thanks in advance guys!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Blair to discuss two critical topics in today’s real estate world: Mindset and the Changing Market. Mindset Matters: We started the conversation with a deep dive into the importance of mindset, especially in a shifting market. Mike shared his insights on staying focused and motivated, even when the market becomes unpredictable. We talked about overcoming obstacles, staying positive, and maintaining a growth mindset as the key to thriving, no matter the circumstances. Adapting to a Changing Market The second half of our discussion centered on how the market is evolving and what agents can do to adapt. We explored strategies for navigating market changes, from understanding buyer behavior to making smarter investments. The emphasis was on staying agile, using data-driven decisions, and not getting bogged down by temporary setbacks. We covered some of my own strategies, reinforcing the importance of taking massive action, setting clear goals, and focusing on high-value tasks. It was a great conversation packed with practical tips and encouragement for anyone in the real estate game. If you missed it, make sure to catch the replay—there’s a lot of valuable content you won't want to miss!
