Mike Shock started his real estate career while watching his Mom and Dad when he was younger. When his Mom and Dad moved from a house to a new house they would try and keep the old house and rent it out.
So, when we would sit around the dinner table I would hear conversations about real estate. What did we have to paint this weekend? Who didn’t pay their rent? Who is going to get evicted if rents were not collected?
When I was 18, I asked my Mom and Dad “how can I start investing in real state” ? Their answer was “get a job, save money and then buy a house”. But I knew there had to be a better way.
So when I tried this real estate thing on my own I would be the person that would call a seller, go see the properties, and then sit at my dining room table not knowing what to do next or how to put an offer together. I thought the words “Hard Money Lenders” meant guys will come break my legs. I had absolutely no clue.
After several years of going the “FREE” route or trying to figure this out on my own, I went and found a mentor. It wasn’t until I got educated that I understood how easy it was. When someone helped me and held my hand and walked me through my first deal I said “WOW THIS IS EASY”
From there, the floodgates opened and now I have done hundreds of deals.
I’m sure I was just like you. "I didn’t know what I don’t know" and the fear was so great and held me back from making any offers.
Also, I had nobody to ask questions to.
But when my mentor showed me exactly what to do each step of the ay. It was like adding the missing piece to the puzzle.
What I thought to be impossible before, was now doable!!!
