"Invest smart, Live Happy."
Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies. And welcome to another episode of our.
Podcast, which is called Freedom through Passive Income.
That's right. And today is one of our weekly live episodes. This is our progress update. This is Thursday, January 27th, and it's cold.
It's super cold.
I got up this morning and there was three.
I want to move to Florida.
Yes. So anyway, back to our progress update.
Yes.
All right, so just an update because we are using a program to handle our podcast and handle all of our episodes. And Danny just checked just a couple minutes before we started recording this, and we have just under 1,000 downloads of our podcast, and that's in under 30 days. So I have a feeling that we're gonna go over that thousand today probably or tomorrow. But so that's super exciting because again, and to you it probably means nothing. And to us it really doesn't mean a lot, but it's a benchmark. Yeah. We had no idea this was gonna, you know, even if that people were gonna even like us or watch us.
Yes, yes. So thank you to everybody who's actually sharing it because I know that's a lot. The reason why we're getting this many. Even Keith Weinhold, when we were on his podcast, he was sharing it and telling people. So thank you. We appreciate you guys sharing love and all the stuff you do to get the word out there.
Woohoo.
Boom. All right. Another thing that happened this week that we want to talk about is relationship equity. So I'm developing the largest number of relationships than I ever have before. I'm a total introvert. If you did not know that. He is too. We really like these one on one meetings, but we're not good in crowds. We're not good in social gatherings. That shocks people usually, but it is what it is. But anyways, breaking out of my shell, starting to say, hey, let's just, you know, let's meet up, let's talk, let's jump on the phone, let's jump on a zoom. And just doing more of those because as you know, introverts, that kind of drains your energy. Right. To do a lot. But I'm just, I'm doing it. So this week I met up with two potential multifamily partners. I met with two big rea. Rea.
No idea what that is.
Big real estate players. I mean, they're doing a ton in our market. And so I know a lot of people would say, well, you know, really, you want to, you know, hook up with your competition. I don't view anybody as competition. So I love, you know, collaborating with these guys and doing stuff. So there are potential partners now on other deals that we might do and then one potential lending partner because we're going to create probably a transactional funding business. So I've been doing research and talking to people and we might actually have a partnership in the work. So super, super exciting. And when it comes to relationship equity, because we're doing these live, you know, episodes, and he and I are talking about, what did we do this last week? What can we talk about? What can we show? Show or share? And when we talked about this, I was like, oh, that would be another great episode. We should talk about that and really show people what we do and how we build that up and how important it is. So now we just added to that episode. So really, really cool.
I just keep thinking about the other episode we talked about doing last night, too. But we'll talk about that later.
Oh, yeah, that's gonna be a fun one.
Yeah. Yeah. 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 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 enjoy what you're watching. But this is your chance right now. It hurts me.
And just remember, this is how we show social media algorithms that you like what we're sharing. 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, I know that one of the episodes before you had told me that one of the private. One of the funds for one of the deals was. What was the word you used?
Over. Subscribed.
Over subscribed. Which I had no idea what that meant, but I do know what that means now. And that just meant that we had too many investors and too much money for the allotted money that we needed to raise.
Yes.
And so what we did is we created a waiting list for that fund and for that property. And actually, one of the investors said, hey, I want to be on that waiting list. We'll come to find out somebody else backed out. Boom, he popped right in.
That's right.
And so he got into that deal. And so again, whenever there's a waiting list, make sure you get on it. You Know, just because. You just never know. Never know.
Yes.
Another new thing is that today, this afternoon, we're going to bundle up in about 10 layers of clothing because we're going to go walk a 48 unit here about a half an hour from 45 minutes from our house. But we're super excited. A 48 unit deal.
Yes. Adding to our door count. And that's the last thing that I wanted to mention because as we're writing down what happened this last week and we're looking at it, one of the things that I thought is we should probably talk about the fact that just learning and growing in general is one of the things that we consider as a win, whether it be through relationships that we're building or events that we're going to or just new business ideas or things that we can do better in the company. It's not always about the number of doors. Right. There's many ways to win. There's many ways to celebrate. So we just wanted to share that because it came top of mind when we were actually making this list.
Yeah. Always be learning.
Yes, that's right. And growing.
That's right. Well, we do like to keep these short and sweet. So that was just a real quick progress update as far as what we're doing as of the. Almost the end of January here of 2022. But again, make sure, if you're out there watching this on Facebook or LinkedIn, make sure you hit the like button, the love button. Make sure you go to our group, facebook.comgroup/.
