I was in a car accident recently. You would think the Cybertruck would have automatically got out of the way and avoid it all. (The one time I wasnt on auto pilot) No matter what AI you use. No matter what software you invest in. No matter how dialed in your systems are... Things will still go wrong. And that's okay. Real estate is no different. You can have Zillow, Redfin, AI comps, automated valuations, predictive analytics — Deals will still fall apart. Markets will still shift. Tenants will still call at midnight. What separates the real estate agent who last from the ones who quit? Not the tools they use. How they react when things break. How they prepared before things broke. Your preparation doesn't show up when everything is going right. It shows up the moment everything goes wrong. That preparation — your reserves, your network, your mindset, your systems — that's what dictates your career. Not Follow up boss or Your Chatgpt Prompt How are you preparing for the deals that don't go your way?

Had a question on today’s call about double closings, so here’s the quick version A double close is when you actually buy the property and then resell it immediately to your end buyer. Instead of assigning the contract, you’re doing two transactions: A to B: You buy from the seller B to C: You sell to your buyer Both usually happen the same day or within a short window. Why use a double close? - You don’t want the buyer seeing your assignment fee - There’s a big spread and you want to control the deal - The seller or buyer doesn’t allow assignments Example: You get a deal at $300KYour buyer is at $350K You close on the $300KThen resell at $350K You keep the difference (minus closing costs) Transactional Funding (this is key): I’ve got a lender who will fund the deal at 0.75% of the loan amount Quick example: $300K purchase0.75% = $2,250 cost So if you’re making $50K on the spread, paying $2,250 to control the deal and keep it clean is a no-brainer. Key things to know: - You’ll need funding (transactional funding or your own cash) - You’ll pay closing costs twice - You need a title company that knows how to handle it When I use it: Only when the spread is big enough to justify the extra costs and risk. If the deal is thin → assign it If the deal is strong → double close it If you want a connection to the transactional funding lender, I can intro you. 0 down and they finance it all I’ll get you set up… and yeah I’ll take my referral fee too
