Mark Evans moved from construction into real estate investing, scaling from single-family rehabs to building a company that does turnkey projects for other investors. He kept evolving his business model to increase volume and chase bigger opportunities, changing who he talked to and how he operated at each stage.
Me going from construction to real estate was really, really scary because I knew construction, I didn't know real estate, but I was like, dude, I can't work any harder to make any money. I got to do something that has a bigger spread, bigger opportunities, a different vehicle, which is real estate investing. Single fam. And then I got that so big. And then I was like, okay, now I have all these people and I have this construction company doing rehabs. Now I need to figure out how to do bigger. So I started out, you know, I started actually doing work projects for other investors, started building decent sized construction company with my real estate company and I was like, okay, I can't make any more. I'm going crazy. I'm dealing with contractors. You don't know how that is, but now let's do volume. And then I switched it from being a single family rehab or to sell or single family to rental. What I did is I switched and said, okay, I'm going to be a turnkey hold a turnkey investor. I'm going to sell turnkey assets, I'm going to buy, fix up, clean and sell cash to people. So I started doing that cycle and got up to a lot of deals doing that. But the thing is, is these are constant evolutions and way different conversations. What I'm thinking about, who I'm talking to, all of it changed.
