Published 2023-09-30
Episode #326

Finding off-market real estate deals can be a great way to kick off your investing career, as it requires very little money to get started. The catch? You MUST be willing to get your hands dirty.

Welcome back to the "Real Estate Rookie" podcast! Today, we’re chatting with real estate wholesaler Nate Robbins. After a long and successful career in banking, Nate was beginning to feel burnt out and frustrated with life. As fate would have it, he ran into Tarl Yarber—one of the most successful real estate investors in the Pacific Northwest. Under Tarl’s mentorship, Nate learned the ropes of real estate investing. With his strong people skills, natural ability to communicate, and infectious personality, he was able to carve out a niche in acquisitions—where he has been able to close off-market deals at a massive profit.

If you need real estate to be your escape rope from the monotony of your nine-to-five, this episode is for you! Nate talks about shedding the W2 mentality and how to find the best investing strategy for you. He also shares his step-by-step process for finding highly profitable off-market deals. Whether you’re a bubbly extrovert or a cautious introvert, Nate will equip you with practical tips on how to engage a seller and get your foot in the door!

    This was a masterclass with Nate. He shared a lot of great information. Thanks for having him on the podcast.
  • @AndrewWoodford
    I’m not seeing the cold script in the notes. This episode was a great motivator to get me re-interested in Driving for Dollars. 💖
  • This podcast is timely. I am Quarterway through and enjoying it so much. This is enlightening me to see the mistakes I making when hiring, and what I should look for, especially when it comes to personalities.
  • @bondyjoseph5171
    Great video; I like how you take the time to inform your audience that we all work to improve our lives and maintain financial security. The correct investment, frugal lifestyle, and budgeting make it simple to accomplish this. I started working hard early in life to achieve financial independence, and now I'm in grade.
  • @abnernakihei
    This is great! I’m a beginner and have been driving for dollars, cold calling and door knocking. I’ll definitely use the script and expectations.
  • @lizhaleboyes2025
    Gonna have to watch this a second time and take notes! Thanks.
  • @lashun1st

  • @DadBodRun
    Thanks for all that information guys. I really appreciate it. I can’t find the script anywhere though. Where can I find that ?
  • @user-gs7zs3is4v
    Bless you guys, we just received a course worth thousands of dollars, I mean it,. Than you so much!!🙏
  • Does anybody have a recommendation for which property search application might be best for me to use for my personal use to identify undeveloped property and then skip trace the owners? I'm needing a deal on the land to be able to afford retirement and it seems like most the apps on the market are geared towards investors in the SFH, Multi or complex. A shove in the right direction is greatly appreciated. 😉
  • @jameswolobah1197
    I am learning and want to be in real estate investment. How can I start with no background in real estate?
  • @shitangpatel1067
    Hey I am just curious that after doing lots of research and there is no such apps I can get sellers detail to fold call! Any idea about any apps used in Canada?

    Does anyone remember Dave Del Dotto (Infomercial "and/or Assignee" Guru from years ago) 😂
