“If you wanna get going in this business, you need to send some marketing and talk to some people.” – Undrea King The Wholesale Nation Podcast is targeted on giving away all the details needed to be a successful wholesaler, along with direct insights from wholesalers from across the nation. Our hosts, Undrea King, and Andy Speed are the owners of Drayco Properties, a real estate investment company located in Houston, Texas. Undrea has over two decades experience as a business operator and several years as a real estate investor. Andy has been in the real estate game since February 2015 and has a decade’s worth of experience in supply chain management. In the podcast series, the two motivated men have thrown light on the importance of having faith in ourselves to be able to take risks and believe in what we’re doing. Welcome to another special episode of the Wholesale Nation Podcast! Today, we have with us Anthony Epps (Mr. ATL Wholesaler!), Professional Real Estate Investor from Atlanta, Georgia. Anthony started with the real-estate business back in 2008, and gradually got introduced to wholesaling. Starting off, he shares the time getting 1 or 2 deals in a month and why perhaps he didn’t get it scaled then was he had his focus on only getting his basic needs met, such as paying bills and the regular stuff. From landing his first deal in 2009, he has escalated his business massively and is a strong lead in the business today! In a casual yet valuable conversation, Anthony has discussed everything from setting up his business, the role of a mastermind in helping one grow, the need to build and manage a strong team, buying-selling amid the pandemic, the importance of marketing, to his goal of succeeding in virtual acquisitions. Coming from his personal experience, Anthony continually makes understand the huge role of marketing in the business and how you need to “rightly” invest in it. Strategies on marketing would be totally different for people who have more than enough finances as compared to people who need to carefully filter out to focus on the “importants”. Anthony has also emphasized on what influence one probably could have from a mastermind and what it is that we get from them that pushes us forward. It got him to see in black and white what was actually going on that he had to see through, and helped him level up in the business. As Undrea adds, a mastermind could help you grow out of the box that you have enclosed yourself in. To strengthen and grow your deals, you would also at some point need to start to build a good team by bringing in the right people, have lead managers that are strong and reliable, and invest more on marketing your business. You need to get the right people on the right seat. This process, though cumbersome and time-consuming, needs to be handled a lot properly, for you also need to constantly be with them and manage them. The episode also has the trio discussing on how virtual deals are a difficult process and how face-to-face conversations help in getting to know the buyer and his needs better. Anthony is right now targeting on bringing in more managers and striking the right chord with virtual acquisitions and is getting his business into different markets. He has 4-5 ways of looking at a deal: Wholesaling/ Wholetailing/ Giving it a creative strategy/ Finance which is a visibly valuable take-away.
