Hey, I'm Andrew Hales welcome to another edition of chatting with today I'm here with Igor thanks for being here. Yeah, no problem
[9]
You are a millionaire yeah Wow by some standards
[15]
Some of you I don't have like a million dollars in the bank but assets net worth assets minus liabilities. Yeah, okay
[22]
I met Igor through
[25]
The airport. Yes. Yeah, we met with like randomly like two weeks or no like a week you like a week. Yeah
[32]
Just going home from LAX at the Chicago Airport and just got to talking and he told me flipped houses
[38]
And I thought that was really interesting
[41]
So yeah you it's all real estate pretty much all real estate. Yeah
[46]
How does that worry? You don't even have a license? No, no real though. I don't have any real estate license. It's pretty much like
[53]
You know just single-family homes for the most part buying fixing them up and resale and I'm like, you know
[59]
Like the TV shows. Okay. So, how do you how do you flip the house?
[63]
So I mean is it hard? Is it easy? It's it's really easy. I mean
[68]
the way that I got into it was like the kind of no money down no money down, whatever that they you know,
[75]
You'll hear like on the radio or on YouTube like okay
[78]
I know the stuff people it's called wholesaling that people like always advertise you can make money without having any money in real estate
[84]
Hey, welcome back in today's free training. You're gonna discover how to flip houses using no money down strategies
[90]
So that's like super hard cuz you're you're trying to basically like buy a house and flip it without having any money
[95]
Okay first it's hard. But I mean if you've got money it's you know, so how how much does someone need to start doing it?
[103]
Like I mean it varies you could do it with zero down if you have a lot of time and you can just devote like
[108]
Okay, it took me like six months of like full-time
[110]
working
[112]
Trying to put a deal together to get my first deal and make like four grand
[115]
I made on my first deal with like no money down. So that's like not even okay, so
[120]
Walk me through the steps you go and you want to get a house
[123]
So then so you see the house and what's one of the next steps like with my business?
[128]
it's a little it's like my business is kind of difficult because
[132]
We're getting super discounted properties. So I've got like a call center where you know
[137]
we're calling pre foreclosures or like people that are behind on their taxes and stuff like that and we're just doing tons of calls and
[144]
Then you know go on the appointment see the house depending on what it looks like make an offer
[149]
Buy it
[150]
Fix it up and then resell it
[153]
So there's like kind of a lot of moving parts, but I'm good
[157]
It's simple like in the steps that you have to do. How many houses do no
[162]
Right. Now we have like 13 or 14 like under contract to buy like eight more
[168]
And you lose money sometimes yeah, very rarely
[171]
But like back in the day when I used to do what?
[173]
tried to do the wholesaling stuff and I'd like find a house for like
[176]
$8,000 in the hood and Chicago and I was getting started and I'm like, yeah
[180]
This could be a great investment. Then you buy it and like nobody wants to buy it
[183]
I've lost a little bit of money on deals like that, but I'm a normal flip deals
[188]
like I mean
[189]
I haven't lost money on a deal
[190]
more recently
[192]
Just because I'm buying them with enough room in there to like make sure if I'm you know
[196]
Screw something up and when it's like a four hundred thousand dollar house and you're buying it for like 280 or something
[201]
There's a lot more room to not screw up whether we're you
[205]
Whereas like if you're buying a house for 8 grand in the hood in Chicago
[208]
Yeah, like it's hard to find someone that wants to buy that for more than it can you know, okay, so I see a house
[214]
It's a junker. It's 10 grand or whatever. I buy it
[219]
Fix it up and then sell it for 50 grand. Yeah
[222]
Well, those seals like that's not really because I mean it's the same amount of work to buy a house for three hundred thousand
[229]
But 50 into it and sell for five fifty and make a hundred grand
[232]
Mmm, then it is to do a house for 10 grand put ten into itself or fifty and make twenty, you know, okay
[238]
Like how many hours a week? Do you work? You say I'm like pretty right now
[242]
I'm not working like 12 hours a day. I'm work probably within the single-family
[248]
Flipping like my flipping business. I probably work like two three hours a day. Mm
[253]
um, and it's just like
[254]
You know with like my office manager or whatever
[256]
Like they have questions for me or like going over numbers on some properties and you're the very top
[261]
Yeah
[262]
So I'm like I own it and then we have I have an office in Denver and an office in Florida
[266]
where I have like a small team in each one of them that's going on all the appointments and like cold calling and
[272]
Managing the contractors and stuff cold calling. What are the cold calling?
[276]
So, I mean we've got like people that create lists and we're calling you know
[280]
pretty foreclosures like people that are getting divorced or like people that are behind on taxes people that like we might have some sort of
[287]
Motivation to sell their house for a discount, you know, whoa
[290]
So we're calling that stuff. And then we also just call like we say I used to have a
[295]
lot more people cold calling and we just had like blank like we were called every single person in the state of Florida trying to
[301]
Buy their house, so we're just like hey, we're buying houses. You know anyone looking to sell? No
[304]
Thank you buy just like yeah like a thousand people a day
[308]
I'm trapped. You're never gonna get your license
[310]
I
[310]
Wouldn't say never but like I don't really need to I wouldn't want cuz like the license
[314]
The license side of it was like, you know
[317]
Real estate sales, like I don't want to go like show houses and like try to like sell them
[321]
And yeah, I just like running the business, huh?
[325]
man
[326]
But like that's a good I I would were to do it again
[329]
I would get my real estate license and start with that like when I was 17, it's well
[333]
I guess I couldn't cuz in Chicago to be 21 to get your real estate license
[336]
I live in fog, but what's the what's the most money you've ever made on a single deal? Uh
[344]
140 grand how much was the house?
[346]
We bought it for I bought it for 165
[350]
put like
[352]
thirty thousand into it sold it for
[355]
355
[356]
Day, so after like realtor costs and there's like a three there's like a three month process. Yeah. It's like a hundred days
[364]
Yeah, that one's good and I didn't really have any money into that one because I got a good like good loan on it
[369]
I got it for a really good price. So my lender gave me the full
[372]
okay, and you have like a lender you always go to I have several lenders that are just like different either older real-estate investors that
[379]
have some money or they gave a lady that like got hit by a car and she got a settlement and like had money he's
[384]
Social that's it. They're not usually banks. No, usually not that's me
[388]
Like I'm gonna go and try to reach out to banks at some point when I have like, you know, hey, I flipped
[394]
You know 100 houses this year. Like here you go. I need a line of credit and show them all the numbers and stuff
[398]
Yeah, but banks aren't it's it's hard to get the bank to lend on like single-family flip deals
[406]
Than it is for like a single conventional mortgage like an apartment building or something
[411]
Why do you think most people fail at real estate?
[415]
cuz it's hard like
[416]
especially like the wholesale excited things even flipping to but they kind of helpful with on the wholesaling side the way I tried to get
[422]
Started or I did get started
[423]
it's like you should get like slap in the face like no no, no, no like all the time like
[430]
Oh
[430]
My god gave me like like you I mean like you're trying to offer people like sixty percent of what their house is worth
[435]
So someone's got a $200,000 house for like y'all give you one one hundred grand for it. They're like fuck you
[441]
You know and you get that like six months great you're spending money every month and you're not making any money
[446]
Like most people get discouraged and you're like and they're like this doesn't work, you know
[450]
You were like MLM and high school and stuff
[452]
Yeah
[453]
That was one of the first things actually like before even I think Rich Dad Poor Dad and like thinking Grow Rich and stuff
[457]
I did Vemma which was like, yeah, what's that? It's like a drink. Yeah. It was like the have you do you remember that?
[465]
Sounds familiar, then you're gonna love Vemma
[468]
Just an opportunity to enjoy the products. You also have the opportunity to succeed by helping others succeed
[475]
Yeah
[476]
it was like these like teas and stuff like 3G tea or some shit and it was like
[480]
Sign your friends up and you make money and that was I did that in high school and like you did good like yeah
[486]
I did I was super into it like two months. So like the first month I was like killing it
[490]
I got like everybody in my high school was like talking about it
[494]
I think I got voted is like the most likely to be a millionaire or whatever it was
[499]
like I was like a total stoner like I didn't do shit in high school the entire time like I would literally
[506]
like a DS and C's and all my classes and your
[508]
Smoke weed like all day with my friends and then like the last three years of senior year
[512]
I did Vemma and then like
[513]
Everybody was a team of emo Vemma and then I ended up getting voted like most likely to be a millionaire or whatever
[520]
And no one was actually buying Bheema
[522]
It was like all like well, I was getting people to sign up to ya know like that's where most the money is, right
[527]
Well, so how it worked was like you're technically getting people to like buy the tea but really they're like signing up for that ID
[533]
or whatever to make money so like yeah, they're buying these teas for like 3 bucks apiece and they have to buy like
[539]
$500 of it every month or something like $200
[542]
who's crazy like indie might like the kid that was above me when I was in high school was making like
[547]
$1,000 a month and I was like, holy fuck like that's killing it, you know
[552]
But that was the way that was like the first thing that like
[555]
Surrounding myself with those people that were all that kind of
[557]
business focused and like and all that kind of stuff was what got me really introduced into like the books and yeah, I'm trying to
[565]
You know how much uh, how much money did you make with Vemma?
[569]
About like like 600 bucks, okay
[572]
So it wasn't they had to make a lot of money with it
[575]
but that was I like really and thankful that I did that because
[578]
It's where like flip my mindset. It's coming. Yeah, when I was in college, I remember seeing like, you know, get rich online
[583]
you know, yeah all these and I was a brilliant nel that and like yeah, and I bought I bought like I
[590]
Don't know. I bought one. I bought into one where it is, like just get people to look at this website
[595]
And it was like a three hundred dollars like signup fee or whatever and they were like they gave you the whole
[600]
package, all you had to do is get people to
[602]
Get to this thing and the wide travel thing and you get a thousand bucks Commission
[610]
Well, yeah and so that but you know
[612]
and obviously like I get I didn't get make any money totally lost three hundred dollars, you know, and damn I
[619]
Didn't know anything about the internet nothing about YouTube and I remember like trying to comment the link on like College
[632]
No, it was obviously like it was just get hidden immediately, but that's funny
[637]
I didn't know anything about like traffic and yeah getting traffic to websites and stuff
[641]
But that was kind of a catalyst though that like got me down the road of like alright
[645]
How how do you make money online? That's awesome
[648]
Yeah
[648]
see a lot of people like hate on the MLM stuff cuz like really if you're trying to make a living off that like it's
[652]
fucking hard
[653]
But the things that teaches you are extremely valuable, I think hmm. Um, yeah, you just went to like Tony Robbins
[661]
Yeah, that's what when we met when I was it was in Chicago
[664]
So when we were both in Chicago, I was coming back from the Tony Robbins event, which was super cool
[669]
that's interesting because I feel like I
[672]
Feel like unsuccessful people
[674]
Go to those things. Yeah, I mean people that are like that people that are trying to like learn something
[679]
You know, I'm like, I guess missing something or trying to like get to the next level or yeah, you know
[684]
so now for sure there's definitely like a lot of the people that you see like on Instagram that are like doing
[689]
Motivational quotes and like meeting all the conference's like obviously. I mean they're looking for something. Oh I
[696]
Yeah, the Tony one was super good. I learned a lot from it. Yeah, you recommend it
[700]
Yeah, totally. It was a how much did it cost you something like 500 bucks?
[705]
Now usually those things are like expensive. I know that that's well
[709]
That's what's funny is like you act like it's that's a really good deal
[712]
But I mean for it like cuz the conference is like some of them are like they'll charge like five grand or like yeah
[717]
10 15 20 grand like they're expensive so that one
[721]
For at least cuz the guy is like pretty legendary when it comes to like that field. So yeah
[726]
yeah, he has been he is probably like
[729]
The number one. I think he's in the unified forty years. Yeah
[738]
Okay pretend that I have a great house, uh-huh now sell me just okay ring ring hello. Hi there is this Andrew
[745]
Yes. Yeah. Hey drew listen, my name is Mike. I'm calling because I see you on this property here at 99 nightingale place
[753]

[759]
Okay, yeah what sure what do you what do you want to pay
[762]
Um, I can't tell you what I could pay for it without seeing it Andrew, but if you're available
[766]
Maybe tomorrow around noon I could swing by and leave you with a written offer around the spot there. Does that work for you?
[772]
Sure. Yeah. Okay, cool. Well, I'll see you there
[776]
No, that's like one out of 10,000 calls. We'd go like that. Okay, like usually it's like watch you get my number
[782]
Right, right. Okay. I'll try to tell you. Okay, you you do all the classic resistance. Oh, yeah, okay
[789]
Hi, is this Igor? Who is this?
[792]
This is Andrew. I'm calling about your property at 8 8 5 Harvard Street. What do you want? I well I I noticed
[801]
Well, I want to pay
[804]
Yeah, see I I did I actually did telemarketing for like six months and college and I was so bad reselling
[811]
It wasn't even selling anything. I was just all that customer service. You're like, I don't know
[817]
It was simply like getting people to
[821]
buy or
[823]
Or no that were like interested in going back to school for education
[826]
Okay, and like going through this one website and that that website gets a commission from their tuition. Okay?
[833]
But it's like a shitty schools. Oh, yeah a Nixon. It's hard. It's like a hard job like yeah do it
[839]
I mean I did it for a while obviously and growing the business
[842]
Like but I had a different and I had the vision of what I'm doing the business that kept me going
[846]
Yeah, like if like my vision is like a biweekly paycheck to cold cause like I couldn't do it
[851]
Well, that's gotta be like the hardest sale ever though like you're telling people to move
[855]
Yeah, and sell you their house at like a pretty steep discount right like it's an awful price
[860]
Yeah, like I mean, it's a good price given their situation or whatever like, you know
[863]
They need a move like they need to sell their house in a week or else they're gonna lose it
[868]
Okay, we're giving them like cash. Oh, you know and you can see these this information. Yeah, totally
[874]
Can you see how bad their credit is and no not that kind of stuff
[877]
But I could see like because it's published in the like specific County
[880]
I was like, for example when they're going into foreclosure or whatever they call the or documents or public they're all online
[888]
And yeah, so you don't ever feel guilty about it, it's not like wrong to do it
[892]
No, I don't think so
[893]
You know, there are people that like take advantage of people but like when we go on an appointment
[898]
my thing is always like you know, if these people really are like better off listing it with a realtor or something like
[904]
you know refer them to our realtor like let's you know sure let's get them listed like get them whatever get our money and like
[910]
You know, but people will be like we're like hey, you know
[913]
You can't get 40 grand more if you sell us the realtor, like it'll take you maybe another month or two longer
[918]
But you know
[919]
It's totally possible
[920]
Your house isn't in that bad of shape or whatever and they're like no we like you guys we want to close quick like you
[924]
know mmm
[925]
So we're not
[926]
Like I believe that if you're fucking people over like it's not gonna last whatever you're doing like you might win in the short term
[932]
But you're gonna end up losing in the long run. So like I always try to come from a place of
[937]
Providing a value has anyone come after selling their house to like come back and been like hey you screwed us
[943]
No
[944]
I've had stuff like when I was wholesaling
[946]
That I'd like to tie up a deal go under contract and then I would back out and not end up buying it
[951]
Mm-hmm, and then people get pissed off but like that's pretty much the extent of that
[956]
Um, yeah, I still don't understand what wholesaling is like your okay
[961]
So there's the house and then there's a contract and you're you get it you buy the contract and that costs two grand
[968]
So I'll like do like a quick explanation I guess
[972]
wholesale
[974]
Pretend like I'm a two-year-old. Yes. Yes. So it's like you'll go like say you're Andrew and you've got this house in Phoenix
[980]
It's worth two hundred thousand dollars and you're like dude. I need to move to Alaska right now
[984]
Like I'm trying to sell this place. I'm gonna sell it for a hundred grand to you because you're ready to buy it
[989]
So you sign the contract with that guy. You're like alright, sounds good. I'll buy your house for a hundred grand
[994]
I'm close in 30 days
[995]
these are the terms whatever listed on the contract and
[998]
Then you know you sign that and then that thing you might not have the legal documents a legal binding document
[1004]
And now you have a you know equitable interest in that property. Okay. So now you have 30 days to close
[1009]
So like say you can call up your friend that you know
[1012]
Buys houses and be like hey Jim Bob like I got this deal in Phoenix and thing's worth 200
[1018]
do you want it for 120 and
[1020]
Then he'll be like hell yeah, and then so he just steps in and he basically assigned him that contract for
[1027]
$20,000 because he's paying 120
[1031]
You say
[1033]
If you have it at 100 it's worth 200 and think so the guy's willing to pay 120 for it
[1038]
So when you go to closing like, you know comes in you'll pay it 100 for it. Yep, guys
[1044]
122 the title company. Yeah, they're gonna send you 20 and then a hundred is gonna go to the owner
[1049]
So you're basically just keeping the difference at the time of closing. You're just you're basically just like
[1054]
Getting out of here by your spot and plugging the new buyer in
[1058]
For that and that those are all within usually like 30 days. Yeah for sure. What's the most you made from doing that?
[1065]
49k Wow
[1067]
Well, how much what was the it was I got it for like 99 or 100 and sold it for 150 man
[1073]
Did he know how much you Potiphar initially? Yeah, so there are two ways to do it actually
[1078]
It's kind of more technical but like you can do it in a way where you just assign it and they see what you make
[1082]
or you can
[1083]
What's called a double escrow or double closed where you could?
[1086]
Do it and then no one sees how much you made either the seller or the buyer
[1089]
So the name of the game is just searching for the sweet deals. Yeah. Yeah, just like this
[1096]
Yeah, man, and that's like just so just searching and searching searching yeah the actual process like step by step is extremely simple
[1103]
Yeah, when it comes to trying to get someone to sell you $200,000 house for $100,000. That's the really hard part. It's like fishing
[1109]
Yeah
[1109]
You're just yeah. Just have to be really patient
[1111]
Exactly and can go have like big lines out and that's out and like fucking shit
[1116]
So it's bigger nets and like it just trying to get all the fish, you know. Oh, man
[1121]
Sweet. Yeah, I think I got more than enough here. All right, shout out your Instagram. It's who is cash
[1129]
WH o is ka jaiye, okay
