You can do all of the marketing in the world, but if you don\u2019t follow-up on your leads, you\u2019re only wasting your money. That\u2019s one of the first things that caught Gavin\u2019s attention about Melissa was how willing she was to call people back. If someone was interested in selling their house, Melissa said she was going to call them until it was sold.\nMelissa and Carey quickly discovered that their complementary strengths made them a great partnership. Finding a partner to make up for what you\u2019re not good at is a great way to build your REI network. Gavin Timms and I do this too, and it\u2019s allowed us to expand in ways that we couldn\u2019t on our own.\nEveryone told Melissa and Carey that things would just get worse in real estate, but they knew my number one rule, \u201cCrises create opportunities\u201d. They dialed it into their networks, and they still did $100,000 during the time when everyone said the world was going to end.\nOf course, they had to know who could still do deals during the shutdowns, quarantines, and all of that crazy stuff. That meant that they had to rely on the networks that they\u2019d built up over the last few years.\nVirtual wholesaling has freed them from their desk jobs and let them build the life they\u2019ve always wanted, which includes laying on the beach in Florida while they make money. In fact, they even closed a deal during this podcast! That\u2019s how awesome the virtual wholesaling life is.\nIf you\u2019re interested in working with Gavin or myself as real estate coaches, fill out our form on our website, and we\u2019d love to see if we\u2019d be a good fit for you!\nWhat\u2019s Inside:\n\u2014Why we wanted to partner with Melissa and Carey\n\u2014How your personality and mindset will impact your real estate business.\n\u2014What you should and shouldn\u2019t pay attention to in this market.\n\u2014Why the real estate network you have is like money in the bank.
