Key Takeaways:
“I do a lot of wholesaling. I find deals for other investors, and I also have a portfolio of my own. It’s kind of a slow drip with my portfolio. It’s a long term thing. And then wholesaling sort of helps me kick up that cash on a consistent basis.” – Mike Simmons
“Traditionally, direct mail has been the bread and butter for us. But more recently, in the last year, and then specifically the last handful of months, Google AdWords has been the thing for finding good deals.” – Mike Simmons
“So, one thing we’ve done to try to capitalize on this stay at home movement where people are kind of quarantined is, we’re doing more text, text, blast, marketing, and ringless voicemail.” – Mike Simmons
“Bringing in a team because no matter how great you may be at what you do in your business if you’re a one-man-band or a one-woman-band, there is a ceiling on what you can accomplish as a single person in your company.” – Mike Simmons
“Let’s be intentional. And let’s bring people who are good at what they do. Let’s bring people who have the same values as you and your company have. And then let’s create that culture of where they want to stay.” – Mike Simmons
“I also talked a little bit about partnerships. A lot of people think I need to partner with someone and they could take half the load. It’s like a marriage though, you have to be careful before you go into a partnership. There’s a lot at stake.” – Mike Simmons
“I’m a huge fan of surrounding yourself with the right people being in masterminds of groups of people who are beyond where you are. Some of them are right where you are, maybe some of you are a little behind where you are, but you’re all kind of rowing in that same direction and encouraging people.” – Mike Simmons
