Description
Gary chats in this episode with good friend Mandy Branham, an investor and CEO of Solutions Driven who has experienced tremendous growth in the past few years and built an incredible investment portfolio. Gary and Mandy discussed the art of creating the life and lifestyle you desire, through investing, joint ventures, attracting money for JV, and that it’s ALL about the mindset and the belief in yourself! They also discussed the current market conditions, where things may be headed according to Mandy, and if you’re a potential investor sitting on the sidelines whether now is a good time to get into the game. The advice shared in this podcast from Mandy can kick start ANY investment portfolio! Gary’s quote for this show: “Haters are people that have forgotten their own dreams.” – K. West. TWO of the most important gems dropped in this podcast are here: “WHY YOU CAN’T SAVE YOUR WAY TO WEALTH!” & “Don’t let someone with a $40,000 income deter you from your Million Dollar goals!”   What you'll learn: How Mandy adapted to the new situation, both personally and professionally How real estate is one of the top basic needs, and the industry is more robust than ever Why Mandy describes herself as pulling the cart and carrying the horse Why action is very important to her and delivers results Why a good support system and team (accountant, lawyer, etc) are a must for success Why there are many investment strategies but she has chosen just one Why ‘win/win’ doesn’t mean an entirely painless process, and there may be discomfort It may cost more to get a property, but if it results in a gain for you, then it’s a win What are the traits needed to attract joint venture money Why you need an ‘abundance mentality’ to THRIVE and succeed Mandy: “Realize there is more money out there then there are people with proven strategies and track records to be able to put that money to work!” How to create an ideal joint venture avatar Why a vision for each property will help you make sure the asset performs Why your mistakes can be used as excuses or a platform for change Why joint venture partners value mistakes and learning – experience! How past resilient experiences can help you cope with future challenges Why Think & Grow Rich was a turning point She was learning during her commute and why everyone has time for this Why you need to choose and declare a portfolio value – why Mandy’s is 50 MILLION The difference between an active and a passive investor, and why motivation is important Three questions: 1. How do I buy this? 2. How do I change and add value? 3. How do I sell this? Can you qualify for an A lender? B lender? Vendor take back? Joint Venture? What you might think is a deal breaker might actually not be… Don’t let someone with a $40,000 income deter you from your Million Dollar goals!
