Key Takeaways:

“After doing a whole bunch of investing, I would say to your audience that I have noticed there’s a tendency of what type of people do better in which arena.” – Beka Shea

“Rehabbers tend to have this project management bent. You see a lot of former accountants, engineers, contractors who do really well in the rehabbing space and I think it’s because they like breaking things down into the process.” – Beka Shea

“Managing the process, wholesalers as people assign deals. They tend to love the art of the deal.” – Beka Shea

“I personally love the rehabbing side of things, taking something that other people would view as just broken down and worthless and being able to see the potential in it and then unlock that.” – Beka Shea

“So, wholesaling to me is a sales marketing company. I think a lot of people get into marketing, they often talk about them, like, you know, me, me, me, I buy houses, I fix houses, the sellers don’t care. They want to know how are you going to make their lives better. So, it starts with the marketing piece.” – Beka Shea

“What is it with wholesaling that people like it so much as an investment strategy? It’s fast. And if you’re good at making deals and you recognize your value, I mean, there is a lot of money to be made.” – Beka Shea

“When I wanted to start scaling my business, I joined a mastermind, which is a really cool way to get around people doing more to get out of just your local market and be exposed to people doing stuff on a greater scale.” – Beka Shea
