Why Most Won’t Succeed in Real Estate Investing w/Brandon Turner

To real estate investors and real estate investing enthusiasts, Brandon Turner is a household name. Not only has he written one of the most successful real estate investing books ever published (“The Book on Rental Property Investing”), but he also pioneered the real estate podcasting, social media, and blogging space. Funny to think that only a decade or so ago, this massively successful capital raiser, business founder, and CEO was painting rental properties, just trying to quit his soul-sucking job. So how did Brandon do this so quickly, and what’s going on in the brain (and under the beard) of one of the most successful real estate investors on the planet? Surprisingly, Brandon doesn’t have some secret formula, world-changing analogy, or crystal ball. He simply did what he said he would do—look for deals consistently, make offers whenever he could, and close so he could move on to the next. If this sounds familiar to your situation, but you’re struggling to find success, you may find that his system is a little bit different from yours. Brandon gives valuable insight into the “machine-building” he’s doing over at Open Door Capital, how he’s successfully growing his personal brand, and why real estate investing success should never be a surprise. If you’re a new listener to the show, it won’t be long before you realize why Brandon Turner was (and still is) one of the most beloved voices for building wealth. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE: https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?... ~~~~ Grab Brandon's FREE Masterclass: https://www.biggerpockets.com/REShow ~~~~ Connect with Brandon on BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/b... ~~~~ Purchase Brandon Turner’s Best Selling Books: https://store.biggerpockets.com/colle... ~~~~ Stay Up-to-Date On Your Favorite Real Estate Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast... ~~~~ Previous Episodes Mentioned in Today’s Show: Gino Wickman: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/bi...
