By: Avi Rasowsky
  • Summary

  • Welcome to The DealPen!

    A podcast that digs into the details of untold stories from crafty real estate investors!

    I'm your host, Avi Rasowsky, former minor league bullpen pitcher turned Real Estate Investor.

    For the past 6 years, I've been in the trenches of figuring out what it takes to streamline and execute a real estate deal and I want to share what I've learned along the way,

    The reason I started this podcast is to shed light on what happens from start to finish during the course of a real estate deal.

    We'll discuss things like, how to find a deal, how to structure the deal, how to fund the deal, and all of the inner workings needed to make a real estate deal a reality.

    With every deal I do, I work with the end in mind and I want to share that process with you.

    Some of my guests will include, investors, lenders, attorneys, and of course buyers and sellers who are all part of the real estate transaction process.

    There's more to a deal than what you see on HGTV on this podcast I'm going to help you better understand.

    Just grab your headphones, and meet me in The Deal Pen!

    QUOTES

    • "If you do it right, you only got to make a million dollars once, or make a half a million dollars once, or make $200,000 once. You don't got to do it over and over again if you build it up and invest it right. You choose at what level you want to start investing." - David Alexander
    • "But the problem is what happens nowadays is when they start wholesaling, they just want to get better at wholesaling. And I'll explain that whole theory. People have a tendency to get more detailed into something instead of having growth. So they want to build a system. They want to build a system around it so they work less. But all of a sudden, they start building the system. And now the system eats up more money." - David Alexander
    • "Everyone literally is just helping each other. It's a pretty special feeling, which is, I think very rare. Cause there's a lot, I mean, there's a lot of people in the investing space that just want to get your money." - Avi Rasowsky
