If you've ever wondered if some success stories sound too good to be true, this podcast is for you. When I built DealMachine eight years ago, I was building it as a marketing tool for my own investing. I had done three deals or so at the time that DealMachine started taking off from other people that wanted to use it. And I remember Krystal and Dedrick Polite, who now have their own house flipping TV show 50/50 Flip, said they made $500,000 in six months. And I was sitting there filming a recording of their testimonial and I almost didn't even believe it was true because it seemed like too successful. But NOW I KNOW they were successful because they had another business before. They were able to zoom past what hangs most beginners up when they are starting out. And I am going to show you how to get out of your own way and close your first deal a lot faster.
