291: How to Build a Business That Helps Find Deals Before Anyone Else with Neal Collins

Are you struggling with finding deals in today’s market, where the best properties go fast? On today’s show, we interview Neal Collins, an investor in the red hot Portland Oregon who has figured out a way to find deals before anyone else even sees them! Neal shares the brilliant strategy he’s created to build a world where the best deals find him.
In this show, you’ll learn how Neal was able to find a 4-plex to house hacked—and how he made an additional $8-10k a month, as well as how he built a property management company and real estate brokerage (hint: he created an army of deal finders that get paid to make him money and find him deals) where he does none of the work but reaps all of the profits, and his brilliant, simple strategy for raising private money than anyone can replicate (he really hits the nail on the head with this one).
If you’re looking for a solid, profitable, and step-by-step process to make money and build wealth with real estate, you won’t want to miss how Neal did just that!

Neal’s journey to real estate investing

How he accidentally got into seller financing

The importance of being able to pivot and change investment strategies

The kinds of properties he looks for

His thoughts on Airbnb and short-term rentals in general

How he got into managing other people’s properties

His experiences managing 200 units and owning a brokerage

Three things every investor looks for: returns, security, and customer service

Fire Round Questions

How do you reset for your next short term rental guests?

What “extra” amenities do you provide to make the stay special?

I wanted to know if anyone has a solution for reducing the time it takes to get through turning over linens in your short term rentals?

I’ve read that some experts present themselves to tenants as the property manager, not the landlord.
