In my way of thinking, perhaps the best thing you can do for a living is to make a living while also making things better for others. This often happens for us as real estate investors, providing real solutions to deep problems. This is illustrated perfectly today in my conversation with Phillip Vincent.

When I saw the title, “World’s Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet” I was immediately intrigued. I happen to think mine is pretty good. Then I downloaded and looked it over. And wow. I might just have to agree. So I found the guy who wrote it and I’m going to talk to him today.

James Orr is a real estate investor and broker who resides in Loveland, Colorado. He has been married to Tammy for 27 years and has two grown children, JC and Tim.

He has created several thinking tools for real estate investors and designed The World’s Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ (a free download). Since 2017, James has been developing the Real Estate Financial Planner™ software. This software models various real estate investing strategies and compares their performance in terms of speed to financial independence, net worth, and various risk measurements. James has modeled a variety of real estate investing strategies for over 300 US cities. He creates lessons daily and posts them on his Substack feed and in a few minutes I’ll tell you exactly how to find him online. Because you’re going to want to.

I found him on Substack and knew right away I had to track him down and get him on this show. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flipping-america/id1449888255

Life is full of choices. One of them is to make enough in real estate investing to quit your day job, let your wife quit her day job, live off of the passive income and travel somewhere monthly. Yes my friends, that IS one of your possible choices. My guest today, Jesse LeBlanc did just that. And we are going to talk about it in just a couple of minutes.

Jesse is the founder of Wholesalers Transactional Funding, Exigo Management & Wholesalers KPI. He’s been a full time Real Estate Investor. Before that he was a Police Officer for DeKalb County in the Atlanta area. And before that he was what he calls a Corporate Dropout as a Marketing Analyst and a Financial Analyst.

He retired his wife from her W2 jobs at the start of 2022, giving them time to travel at least once a month while Jesse continues building his rental portfolio and doing Transactional Lending.

He focuses more of his time these days on Transactional Lending for wholesalers who need lending for their double closings. He lends to wholesalers nationwide. He also has referrals for private lenders if the wholesaler is looking to "wholetail" a deal vs double close.

You can choose a job where the most challenging thing you’ll have to do all day is calculate how much change to give a person when the cash register breaks down. Or you can choose to work 60-70 hours a week for a chance to be recognized in a big corporation and maybe get ahead. Or you can choose - well virtually anything if you live in the USA.

But you can ALSO choose to pursue a well established course to financial freedom and live the life that most people only dream of. This life is possible for every person listening to my voice. It’s NOT possible for every person - some just don’t have what it takes. But if you are motivated enough to listen to this and smart enough to find it, you have what it takes. Listen to my conversation with this amazing friend and know that you can do it too. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flipping-america/id1449888255

He has a keen intellect, a knack for authentic salesmanship, a winsome personality, and a keen insight into people. He has a way of making everyone in the room comfortable.

People are writing me to tell me that they are listening to this episode over and over whenever they get down. This episode is about getting back up. I'm gratified to hear that it's helping others. Perhaps it can help you too.

It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. As long as you get back up. Everyone listening to my voice has been down. Some of you are right now. Today I’m going to help you get back up. Adversity is baked into the human experience. Bad things happen to us beyond our control. Bad thing...
