In this episode, Alex Joungblood and I are talking with an investor about how he is successfully killing it in the super-tough market of Southern California. But Luis Ontiveros didn’t magically start raking in REI money… he actually landed on some really tough times (even jail) but worked his way back to freedom and finally reached investing success in San Diego.
Through determination and utilizing really smart courses from Michael Jake and Cris Chico, Luis learned all about rentals and Subject 2s and rehabbing and marketing… and in 2011 he took action and began calling sellers til he was blue in the face to get wholesale deals done and money coming in. Luis quickly learned, though, that he didn’t like talking with sellers, so he brought on a VA, Sales people and a Realtor.
Luis shares with us how his Realtor has helped him better his business so he can focus on marketing. You might be wondering about the other team members I mentioned, well they didn’t work, and Luis candidly talks about what went wrong and what he learned from those challenging employees.
We also, of course, talk about the marketing – lots of marketing – that’s working really well for Luis and why he doesn’t use bandit signs or post on Craigslist.
Look, what I personally love about Luis is that he never gives up and he has so many great tips and REI info to share through his challenges and successes.
You will definitely learn from him and his experiences…
