Click here: https://objectionproofselling.com/millionaire Travis Johnson of MN Nice Home Buyers flew in from Monticello, Minnesota to share how he built a real estate investing business that generates close to $750,000 a year while working just three hours a day. In this episode of Disruptors hosted by Steve Trang, Travis breaks down exactly how he did it — from spending $180,000 and nearly going bankrupt to finding the one marketing channel that changed everything, how he built systems and processes that run the business without him, why he deliberately caps his income to be present for his four kids, and the specific TV advertising strategy through 10xTV that became his unfair advantage in a crowded market. If you are a real estate investor, wholesaler or entrepreneur who wants to close more deals and build a business that gives you your life back, this episode will permanently change how you think about what a successful business actually looks like. Travis and his wife Leah have been investing in Minnesota real estate since 2002 and built MN Nice Home Buyers into a BBB A-rated company operating across Minnesota with a 4.9-star rating. In this conversation Travis covers why he quit his corporate job with no plan after 18 years, how he bought two We Buy Houses franchises, watched both fail due to market saturation, then rebuilt from scratch with $0 in marketing and figured it out the hard way through 13 months of near-bankruptcy, why TV ads converted better than every digital channel he tried, how to buy rural properties for under $15,000 and sell them for $30,000 to $40,000 in towns most investors would never touch, why 70% of his deals close on follow-up not the first call, and how to build a three-hour workday that actually works.
