It was an amazing week together and I have to sum up.
# Entrepreneur of the Week Gal Schmuckler # Post 6
It is truly an amazing experience to write in a place like this, with a lot of talented entrepreneurs and even more amazing to try to give value to entrepreneurs at the beginning of their journey.
Writing 6 posts is not easy, especially when traveling from Texas, New Mexico to Utah and Colorado.
After my father approached me I could not pass up this opportunity. Because it is really most important for me to give value and help people as many have helped me in the beginning of my journey.
I tried to give as much information as possible about an area I deal with called wholesale-off marketing.
The essence of the domain is basically to reach out to the seller first, build a good rapport and close a contract with him. Then it's already up to us what we want to do in the contract as I mentioned in previous posts.
Today we are already making over 10 transactions a month. (This month we did 17!)
Most of the assets we buy but the less in our focus the we transfer to our buyers. I truly believe that whoever is on our list of buyers is lucky.
We have a mailing list of over 1000 buyers that sounds like a lot, but usually work with 10 people we know who are serious and can execute the closure and not just tell stories.
As I write this I finally feel like I managed to start a business. And the truth is that this is just the beginning. I am a very critical person towards myself as Limor says and I think I should be proud.
It was not easy and there will be many more obstacles on the way but you can already see the light.
This year has really been a crazy year for me.
Moving country, new business, little man joining family.
I think everything in life can be taken to whatever area we want, anxiety and stress can be let eat us and they can be eaten even more back.
If I could give advice from this week I would choose a few main ones:
1. do do do. Analyzing things for hours is good and beautiful but in the end those who do not succeed. I hear about a lot of people, and a lot of my fellow engineers are the ones who, because of most surgeries, just fail to “pull the trigger and make the first deal.
2. Learn- Despite what I said earlier. It is very important to study in depth the subject you want to specialize in. I left a business for years to work as an employee at a real estate company because I wanted to understand the best field I could. to read books. Listen to podcasts. Go to any Facebook or Instagram page that will give you value and consult a lot. Only then will you be truly willing to do.
3. Fail. After trying always fail. The value of failure in my opinion is greater than success, because we will remember it more. He will engrave us more. The most important thing is that we learn from him and next time we will come out stronger.
4. Choose a field that suits you. This group is engaged in real estate. So also real estate which is a domain in itself delimits within it dozens of domains. I deal in wholesaling and buying properties and renting them but there are countless other areas.
5. Targeting. When you are already dealing with something make sure to be the best at what you do and not disperse. It is very easy to be tempted into other areas and try to do everything, but usually it will cause harm to all areas.
6. Choosing the right partners. There are those who try to do everything alone. I am a big believer in partnerships in general and partners in particular. Choosing partners is like choosing a husband or wife. You are violating them and they are you and together is stronger than the one. Once one understands this the sky is the limit.
7. Choosing the right market. Especially people who deal in American real estate from the country. It is very important that you work hard on which market is best for you. This is not necessarily the best market. Because there are deals everywhere. But what business model do you want to do, who are your right partners, what is your level of commitment to this place, and most importantly be whole with the decision you make and not try to build more bridges on the start to more markets when not yet specialized and in your first market.
So where is the future ??
My dream has always been to reach Financial freedom. I feel like I'm closer to it than ever and everything else is a bonus.
In addition I would like to develop the field of wholesaling. Recruit more workers to produce more deals and get to a point where most of the deals that are in the areas I work in go through us.
And finally I would like to open a small fund mainly for friends and family who can purchase properties with me and I can bring them as well as myself for financial freedom. (Not looking for glittering offices and marketing projects I have never been to in my life).
So how can we do things together?
1. Buyer List: Like I said we do wholesale at Jacksonville and Houston. Anyone interested in purchasing off-market properties would be happy to contact me.
2. If you are into wholesaling and want to cooperate I would be happy.
If you are interested in collaborating in any field or you have anything in mind that can be done together, I am a great supporter of collaborations.
4. For anyone interested in working with us we are always looking for good people who can develop and develop with us. If you have sales experience and good English we are looking for people not Equesition and Disposition in our team.
5. If you want us to stay in touch if I open an investment fund then I will always be happy to keep the details and develop new friendships.
6. Many have asked me if I am taking a course or doing mentoring so not at the moment but maybe later. So if you are interested talk to me :)
7. Most important- If you want to consult on any subject especially if you are at the beginning of your journey, and I can contribute I would be most happy in the world. Anyone who knows me knows that I can dig in with anyone on any conversation for hours especially when I need my help.
In conclusion:
Thanks to my wife Limor, that sounds like a cliché but without her it really would not have happened and I could not have devoted so much time to it. And to the sweet man, who every morning when I get up I am happy just to look at him and gives me a drive to keep conquering the world.
To my family who is in the country and to the family in the US who really gave me everything.
To my partners

I liked the picture Lior uploaded so I added it again below. For no reason ?
