Summary

You wouldn’t know how far Max Maxwell has come at first glance. Looking at his Instagram, you’ll see private planes, a wealth of knowledge on real estate, and seriously shiny Rolexes. Not many people know that only a number of years ago, Max was broke, without enough money to fill up his car with gas, and sleeping at his mom’s house after ten years of failed businesses. Max tried everything from running a property management company, to marketing, to managing a restaurant, and many other ventures. None of them truly stuck, causing Max to go from state to state, trying to find a successful business model that would make him wealthy. Now, Max is well known as a master in wholesaling, rental property investing, and philanthropy. He has always made an effort to help those in need and even went to Ghana with today’s host, Nasar El Arabi. These North Carolinian investors have truly gone from rags to riches and have been able to find meaningful, lasting success through real estate investing. In This Episode We Cover: How to get your start in real estate investing without any money  Finding yourself at the bottom and pushing yourself up to the top Finding, skip tracing, and marketing your first deal as a wholesaler  The “conveyor belt” system of off-market deal-finding Why every great real estate investor MUST be able to spot good deals Jumping into a new niche, even as an experienced real estate investor And So Much More!
