Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies.
And welcome to our podcast, Freedom through Passive Income.
That's right. And this episode is one of our weekly. What we call our weekly live episodes. And this is week three.
Live.
What's new? So just real quick, some numbers.
Yes.
This is fun.
Yeah.
So up to date, as of when we're recording this. For our week three, we have over 200 podcast downloads. We have over 30 new YouTube subscribers. We have over, what, 100 members. Over 100 members in our new Facebook group. That's crazy. And we have over 20 new members in our LinkedIn group, which. That's awesome.
Yes.
I love it.
It's growing. I mean, and I think that this is podcast number. I always get mixed up because we don't say the podcast numbers, but I'll tell you in a second. It's podcast number 20. So we've only done 20 podcasts, and so far, that's what. That's how far.
That's pretty amazing.
Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm so excited. Thank you, everybody.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Okay. Some other things that are new are I'm in charge of partnerships and reaching out to people and networking and building relationships so that we can continue to do more deals and give more opportunities to our investors. So I built six relationships since we.
Started this, and we're the introverts.
Yes. So I'm super excited about that because it just gives us more opportunity. And when we have more opportunity, then that means we can give you guys more opportunities. We brought on an intern. Really, really cool kid. Yeah, he's very, like. He's a go getter. He's taking, you know, great action, and he wants to learn real estate. So we're excited to have him on board. We were just featured on a podcast with Keith Weinhold. We've been on there, I think, four times now, talking about different aspects of things that we do. We love him. He is one of our absolute favorite podcasters. I tend to have a tab, always open, listing out all the podcasts I need to catch up on. So he's fantastic. We're happy to be on that. We also this week on. I can't remember what night it was, but we were sitting on the couch talking about things, and it was. Oh, it was a Friday night day night. So we're. We always post our wins on Facebook. So if you're friends with us, you see our happy Friday night date night post and we talk about wins and I Said I didn't post a loss. And I used to post losses all the time along with the wins.
Right.
And we started talking about it and I was like, I couldn't even find. I couldn't figure out a loss. And I was like, that's just not possible. Of course we have a loss.
Yeah, yeah.
And then we started really getting down to it and we found some losses and we talked about it, and ultimately what we decided was it doesn't feel like a loss anymore. It's like, well, that's real estate and that's what happens every day. Whereas when we were struggling to build five companies all at once, there was so much coming at us that if we would have heard the exact same story at that point in time, it would have been like world altering for me.
I would have snapped.
Yeah, I would have to. I would just totally. So it's learning, just a different perspective where we are in life and in business and this is the path of growth. Right. Is going through the painful parts to get where we are today. So it's not that we don't have losses. We just have a different frame of mind that we're seeing them.
That's right.
Super, super excited about that. And then the last one for my section and I'll let you go, is we officially named our new guest podcast Podcast that is launching soon.
That's right.
Are you giving everybody a sneak peek?
Freedom. 360.
You know us, we love freedom. And so we wanted to have a guest podcast that talks about freedom and all the different things that are about freedom. The many faces, the aspects, sizes, we've talked about, different taglines. That's what we're working on right now, by the way. See, this is a real live podcast. You're really getting.
Freedom comes in all shapes and sizes.
You guys will have to now see if that becomes a tagline or not.
All right, everybody, if you're watching on LinkedIn or Facebook or YouTube, this is your chance right now. I know you see the like button right here and you see the heart button right there. This is your chance in the video to smash these buttons. Make sure you hit that heart button. Make sure you hit that like button if you like what you're seeing and if you, if you enjoy what you're watching. But this is your chance right now.
And just remember, this is how we show social media algorithms that you like what we're sharing. So. So if we're adding any kind of value over this 365 day series, we hope you'll help us out by sharing the love.
Yeah. So again, Hulk smash.
All right, you want to talk about our deals? Flip.
So, number one, we have multiple deals in our due diligence phase.
Yes.
And it's funny because in multifamily, that's where a lot of them. Well, that's where they go to die, too.
Yes. But it's due diligence takes longer.
It takes a lot longer than single family properties. We have multiple messages from investors wanting to invest, which is huge. And we're exploring a future fund, which. And this fund. I'm not the one to talk to you about this, but apparently it wildly benefits our investors.
Yes. Yes, it does. And I just want to give a shout out here real quick to Eric and Della and Carrie and CJ and Ben. They are killing it. So they are our investment team here on Freedom Capital Investments. And Jodi, she's our behind the scenes that helps us with. Absolutely.
She's the glue.
But Carrie, Della, and Eric, they are helping us build up our acquisitions. They're the ones out there talking to sellers and talking to wholesalers and just talking to investors in general, doing the due diligence. So when we say due diligence, that's them. And then Carrie again, because she's doing both Ben and CJ on our investor relations team, and they're the ones talking to you guys, who. That's one of the things we're getting multiple messages, and people are going, hey, I love to see. I love what you're doing. I'd love to learn a little bit more and love to be a part. They're talking to Ben, C.J. and Gary.
That's right.
And they're already. We're already gaining some momentum, so we're super excited. So why do we do this podcast or why do we do this weekly live? One is to show you what our progress is. But two, it is to show you. Look at, you know, we're not perfect, and we make mistakes all the time, and sometimes we don't meet the finish line that we want to meet each week. Right. There's still some things that we would like to get finished, but we take steps every single day, and it's about that first step. Activity breeds results. Della is the one that gave me that line. She says, oh, this is good. It kind of creates a frame of reference of just take that activity, take that small step. And by taking that small step, like we're doing every single week, the group of us, we are getting farther and farther towards that finish line that we want to go. And it means the same thing to you because I can't count how many times we talk to investors and they're just kind of stuck and they don't know what to do. And they stay in that phase for so long that you lose years at a time. So we're encouraging you to take action by telling you what we're doing every single week so that you can say, holy crap, if they're doing all that, I can at least jump on the phone, you know, and talk to somebody about whatever it is.
Yes. The Great Wall of China was started with just one.
That's right.
My favorite.
You're cute.
Well, we like to keep these short and sweet. We got everything right.
Yeah, I think we got. Yeah, we did.
