Hey everybody, thank you for joining us for today's episode of Real Estate Disruptors.

Today we have James Hodges and Alan Beale with Awaken Real Estate.

And they've flown in from Midland, Texas to show how they went or how they made, what was it, a million in their first year, 1.1 in their first year, whole selling. wholesaling. If this is your first time tuning in, I'm Steve Trangbrook and owner of

Stunning Holmes Realty, founder of the Offer Fast Homes app, the only MLS for off-market wholesale

properties. And I'm on a mission to create 100 millionaires. If that's something that you want

to join, please let's connect on Instagram. If you're excited for today's show,

please give me a wave, give me a thumbs up, and as a friendly reminder, I do not charge a dime for this, I don't make any money doing this, so here's all I ask,

this is what it costs for you to listen to the show. If you get value today, please tell

a friend, you can share this episode right now, tag a friend below, or tell your best takeaway

from the show later on, that way we can all grow it together. And don't forget, this is a live show, so please post your questions for James and Allen to answer.

You ready?

Ready.

Let's rock it.

You are a machine on that, Steve.

Thank you.

Got a few reps.

So, first question is, what got you guys in the real estate?

We'll try to make it as short as possible but so I'll take it back to my

entrepreneurial journey because that has had a massive influence on the real estate

journey as well so my entrepreneurial journey started when I was actually living on the mission field.

My wife and I got married in 2013, and then about eight months after we got married, we went to the mission field.

We just felt a calling to go help people that were in need in other countries.
