Show Notes
Steve and Willny discussed what made Willny get into real estate, how he built his companies, his experiences in scaling up his business, the pitfalls of scaling that no one talks about, and resetting his business and how he reorganized.
Top 5 Takeaways from Willny Guifarro:
5. Real estate is not for the meek — it’s hard work and you have to put in the effort.
4. Don’t get discouraged if you have to make a lot of phone calls to get some contracts. And understand that not all of your contracts are going to close. Real estate is a numbers game, so you have to drive up your numbers.
3. One of the biggest things Willny would change about his real estate journey would be to pay for education when he first made some decent money. Willny said had he done that early on, he would have made much more money and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in mistakes with deals, employees, etc.
2. Scaling is the new buzzword in real estate investing, but you have to hire the right people. You lose much more money hiring the wrong people who don’t want to work hard than you do developing a system for hiring, training, evaluating, and firing when necessary. Don’t pay a good salary; commission-based pay keeps people hungry. Don’t be in such a rush to scale up that you scale for the wrong reasons, so scale too much too fast.
