Working with Agents that Want an Investment Path to Financial Freedom - Jim Manning Episode 1010
Sometimes agents are chasing their next listing and they\u2019re not building long-term investments for themselves. Jim Manning from the Doors to Deals podcast is an investor agent here in St. Louis drops in to talk to me about how Realtors can become better investors. To get a glimpse of the scope and capacity of his business Three Doors, Jim and his partner did 565 deals in 2019. They walk the walk as Realtor investors, and they generously tell you how you can become one too.
Before you start off as an investor agent, what skills do you need to develop? Jim is familiar with that little negative voice on your shoulder that tells you that you don\u2019t know enough, don\u2019t have the right connections, or aren\u2019t ready for this new venture. It took him 18 months to buy his first deal, so he knows that that voice can drown out your dreams of financial freedom. That\u2019s why he advises investor agents to create a community of like-minded individuals to propel their success forward.
Jim\u2019s not going to ignore current Realtor challenges. It\u2019s a challenging market out there, and the #1 complaint from his Realtors is how difficult it is to find a deal. He starts them backward on a marketing plan that is so similar to the one my own coaching students use.
