How can targeted text messaging transform a real estate investing business?
In this episode, host Taylor Loht interviews real estate investor Mitch Stephen, who has purchased a property every 4 to 5 days for over 30 years, averaging 100 houses per year for three decades. Stephen specializes in buying properties with other people's money at $X, and then selling those properties with seller financing at $2X. He invests his profits into forever cash flow businesses like self-storage, boat storage, open parking, semi-truck parking, and triple net office-warehouse-yard. Stephen is an entrepreneur, author, and educator with over 560 podcast episodes and 180 YouTube video shorts to his credit. He explains how he revolutionized lead generation and sales through an innovative automated phone and text messaging system that better qualifies leads before his salespeople engage.
