Aug 21, 2019

This week’s episode of the FlippingJunkie podcast is a special one for a few different reasons! First, we get a much-anticipated update from Danny on the development and release of FlipPilot, and what you can expect from this awesome software. Then, Mike Newby joins Danny to discuss what he’s done in his business since he first appeared on the show back in 2017. Mike walks us through a few of his past deals and very openly shares his mistakes and the bad calls that were made throughout the process. He even walks us through the actual numbers for a deal and gives a ton of great advice on how you can avoid making the same mistakes (and so you can follow in his footsteps on the good stuff!). Mike also gets pretty honest with Danny when discussing his best practices for achieving the life that he set out to build when he first started investing in real estate. The two deep dive into Mike’s weekly goal setting practice which involves sitting down at the beginning of every week and laying out your schedule for yourself. It can be easy to fall out of our patterns when we’re the only ones holding ourselves accountable, but he shares tips on how you can combat this and stop fooling yourself. With the help of 10 introspective questions, Mike is finally starting to create the life that he saw for himself and his family. Join them and learn more about what exactly those questions look like!

In this episode he shares what he’s learned about management, and the value of investing in higher quality properties for the long term.

Over the past 20 years he has bought, developed and sold over $200 million in real estate, built and remodeled hundreds of custom homes and commercial buildings, and started 12 different companies from the ground up- yes, 12!

In this episode he joins Danny to talk about real estate investor marketing and what it means to reverse engineer your marketing. It’s a concept that we hear all of the time from experienced investors, but what exactly does it mean? And are you actually tracking your marketing as well as you could (and should!) be? Greg is a self-proclaimed leader, delegator, and motivator, and his expertise lies in maximizing every single deal and he shares with us how he is able to help business owners across any industry make the most out of their spending. Greg and Danny go into great detail about tracking your marketing, identifying the patterns and outliers, and using the insight to react and pivot if necessary so that you can stay ahead of the game and cut off what’s not working quickly or efficiently. He’s not reinventing the wheel, but instead, he is showing people how to turn it by opening up the awareness of people that may not have had any experience as business owners before.
