Bombs Dropping Will Give You Some Perspective
Jeff • November 27, 2023
If you’re reading this newsletter, there’s a good chance your life is pretty good. That can be said for most people living in America. I am writing this article from a hotel room in Jordan where my wife and I, along with our tour group of 44 people, fled across the Israel border the day after Hamas started shooting rockets into Israel. We spent a day hunkered down in our hotel in Jerusalem before loading on a bus and heading north toward the Jordanian border to escape into safety. About an hour… read more
Direct Mail is the Solution to Cold Texting

In case you haven’t heard, cold texting to generate potential house-flipping deals is becoming more and more difficult every day.

At the time, I was about five years into my business and working my butt off 10-12 hours a day. My hands were literally in every aspect of the company.
