  Episode 39: Matt Viebrock: How Systems & Operations Help Real Estate Investors Scale

  Sep 18, 202639 min

  Getting deals is only one part of building a successful real estate business. If your systems, people, processes, and numbers can't keep up, growth can quickly become a problem. In this episode of the Get Wealth Show , Michael Hoang sits down with Matt Viebrock , an experienced real estate operator who has worked inside businesses handling hundreds of transactions per year. Matt shares how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad at 16 sparked his interest in real estate and how his career eventually took him through New Western Acquisitions, Lifestyles Unlimited, transaction coordination, wholesaling, flipping, novations, coaching, and fractional COO consulting. Matt explains how his natural strength in systems and operations became his competitive advantage. After helping build the backend operations of a real estate team, he launched a transaction coordination company and says he personally worked on more than 1,500 transactions over roughly eight years. He later partnered with Eric Brewer, Steve Trang, and Mike Borger to build a novation coaching operation that grew to nearly $1 million a year in revenue from coaching alone. The conversation dives deep into one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face: trying to do everything themselves. Matt explains why investors should identify the work they're naturally good at, understand which activities give or drain their energy, delegate lower-value work, and focus on the activities that create the greatest impact. Michael and Matt also discuss behavioral assessments such as DISC and Predictive Index, hiring virtual assistants, tracking KPIs and KPAs, buying back your time, and building the operational foundation necessary to move from solopreneur to a scalable real estate company. Whether you're trying to complete your first deal or already doing several deals every month, this episode breaks down how to find your role, protect your time, and build a business that can grow beyond you.

  Episode 38: Jason Sager: How Pay-Per-Lead Can Help You Find Motivated Sellers

  Sep 14, 202641 min

  What if you could spend less time searching for motivated sellers and more time actually talking to them?In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with Jason Sager of MotivatedSellers.com to discuss pay-per-lead real estate marketing, finding motivated sellers, building your network, and getting your first real estate deal.Jason explains how MotivatedSellers.com generates real-time seller leads across the country and how investors can choose markets and budgets that fit their businesses. He shares that the company targets common indicators of seller motivation, including probate, divorce, bankruptcy, job loss, and tired landlords. Jason also discusses why consistent follow-up matters, noting that their research found a meaningful percentage of leads eventually sold within a year.But Jason's real estate journey didn't start with a perfectly optimized lead-generation system. He shares lessons from buying properties when he was around 19 or 20, becoming a CPA, observing how real estate contributed to generational wealth among clients, and later completing a Miami flip where nearly everyone involved made money except him and his partners. Permitting problems, financing issues, and unexpected costs turned the project into an expensive education—but the experience taught him what to do differently on future deals.Michael and Jason also explain why beginners need a strong local network, mentors, meetups, and experienced people who can help them navigate problems. Jason recommends that someone starting today consider working for an established wholesaling or flipping company to learn the business while creating value for the company.They also discuss what happens after you get a property under contract, finding buyers, bringing experienced closers into deals, and why a great deal combined with the right network can open opportunities you may not have known existed.Chapters00:22 – Meet Jason Sager01:03 – How Nationwide Pay-Per-Lead Works02:24 – Jason's Real Estate Journey04:14 – Finding, Funding & Exiting His Early Flip05:44 – Why Mentorship Matters07:35 – The Cost of Learning the Hard Way09:31 – How Jason Would Start Today12:24 – Inside MotivatedSellers.com14:02 – Masterminds, Networking & Community17:27 – Who Can Use Pay-Per-Lead?19:24 – What to Do After Getting a Deal20:53 – Why Great Deals Attract Money23:11 – Money vs. Time for Lead Generation25:38 – How Michael Knew to Keep His First Deal28:47 – Using Closers to Get Deals Done32:35 – Books That Changed Jason's Mindset36:28 – Jason's Free Resources39:09 – Motivated Sellers & the Win-Win Mindset40:14 – Closing Download your Free Resources now https://linktr.ee/michaelbesomeone Connect with Jason Sager https://linktr.ee/motivatedsellersMotivatedSellers.comJason says his current content can primarily be found through Motivated Sellers, and he plans to potentially develop more of his own content in the future.

  Episode 36: Brian Trippe Reveals How to Get Your First Real Estate Deal With Little Money

  Sep 7, 20261h 8m

  What if you don't have much money but have plenty of time? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show , Michael Hoang sits down with Birmingham, Alabama real estate investor Brian Trippe to break down how brand-new investors can get their first deal, find motivated sellers, build a network, and start investing without waiting until they have a pile of cash. Brian shares how he went from discovering real estate investing in 2012 to making $10,000 on his first wholesale deal just 45 days after learning about wholesaling . He explains how he found the deal through Craigslist, negotiated with the seller, found a buyer, and figured out the transaction along the way. The conversation then dives into Birmingham's cash-flowing real estate market, driving for dollars, finding vacant properties, making offers consistently, building buyers and private-money lists, and why taking action and failing forward is more important than endlessly consuming educational content. Brian also explains why new investors should ask experienced people for advice instead of asking them for money or to "pick their brain," how to get the most out of real estate meetups, why community can be more valuable than a mentor when you're starting out, and how to determine the best real estate strategy based on whether you have more time or money .

  Episode 35: Chad Harris Reveals How to Build a Rental Portfolio With Private Money

  Sep 4, 202642 min

  How can you build a rental property portfolio when you have little or no money of your own? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show , Michael Hoang sits down with Chad Harris , a Dayton, Ohio real estate investor who built his portfolio by raising private money from everyday individuals. Chad shares his unconventional path into real estate after working as a high school teacher and missionary overseas, explaining how he started buying rental properties despite having no savings, no job, and being completely unbankable. Chad breaks down his first $12,000 rental property, his current buy-and-hold strategy, and how he uses long-term private financing to fund purchases and rehabs. He explains why he structures many private loans as interest-only notes, how he learned what his lenders actually want, and why investors should stop assuming what a lender, seller, or tenant wants. The conversation also covers finding private lenders through your existing network, self-directed IRAs, finding deals through the MLS and simple marketing strategies, building a rental portfolio that can operate without you, and teaching the next generation about real estate.
