    This is a throwback to a conversation that Cam and I had a few months ago about how EASY IT IS TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE through real estate investing... and it was just so good we couldn't not share it! I know, I know... that sounds crazy... $1 million !?! But the truth is that it is possible and people just like you do it every single year! So be encouraged and buckle up, because this is a good one!


    Specifically, we talk about:

    • the 1st thing you need to do

    • direct mail suggestion

    • which strategy: flipping or wholesaling?

    • what to expect of average profit per deal

    • the #1 key to it all (spoiler: it revolves around working with others)

    • and so much more
