out we talk about investing in Indiana

we talk about uh using a Meetup to drive

The Strange Property in Gary, Indiana

leads as referrals H but today is deal

breakdown we cover cool interesting

stories Seth is back to cover an

interesting House story yeah yep how do

we typically get started with these just

kind of walk through the story and go

from there walk through the story walk

through the story we're

ready all right so a lot of what I do at

did at this time was run sales

appointments and so I was running an

appointment in Gary Indiana there's a

lot of interesting stories that I have

in Gary but one of them was this it's

the first time I've ever seen this the

only time I've ever seen this I meet a

gentleman in front of a house in

Gary and claims to not live there drives

up in a beat up Ford F-150 and he pulls

it right there's a driveway but he pulls

it right into the front yard so meet up

with him shake his hand you know

introduce myself tell him who I am how

things are going to go and he's like all

right man well if you need me let me

know just going to unlock the uh unlock

the house let you walk through and do

your thing and you know let me know what

you think so start walking around the

house and there's stuff everywhere he's

got a an RV on the left side of the

house house that looked like it had been

there for probably 4 years it's all

overgrown like trees and stuff all over

it and then I go to the backyard it

looks like there's a tire shop back

there like they're just four five feet

of tires the entire backyard so I'm

walking around like chest deep and tires

trying to wiggle my way through things

just trying to trying to get through it

so I get through that side of the house

and on the other side of the house he's

The Jump-Start House

got an old Mercedes with the

with the roof completely cut off and he

was very adamant to tell me that he was

gonna renovate that and he's really

proud of his convertible so that was

interesting there was no convertible top

the top was completely chopped off

but that was my exterior walk and then I

go into the house I walk through and

it's actually not that bad compared to

stuff that I've seen I'm like okay maybe

this is a deal if we can get him to

clean out all the stuff around the house

first and uh as I'm walk walking through

it it used to be a three- bed house he

knocked out a wall to make his bedroom a

very large master bedroom and instead of

putting up another wall he has a very

large fish tank that is his wall so he

kind of built and framed around it so it

was a legitimate wall but his fish tank

was his wall was pretty interesting but

I'm walking through and I'm kind of like

all right cool I see everything that I

need to see it needs Everything full

Remodel and I asked him I'm like hey man

the lights aren't turning on it's kind

of hot in here do you have do you have

power to the house he goes oh yeah hold

on just one second he was like I bet

he's like I bet you never seen this

before I was like what are you talking

about man so he's like hold on a minute

I got to jump my house I was like what

are you talking about he like I got to

jump my house like okay he's like you've

never seen this before so I'm like what

do you got to do he's like H I'm going

to go out to my my truck can jump the

house so he gets these jumper cables out

of his

car and they're in the beted of his

truck gets the jumper

cables straps them to his truck and then

straps them to something inside the

house very very close to the breaker

box and he he has to turn and crank the

Reflecting on the Unusual Situation

engine two or three times on his Ford

F-150 that's in the middle of the front

yard after two or three turns of the end

engine it finally kicks on he revs the

engine up a little bit and then he flips

the breaker and I see the lights come on

he's not connected to the local power

grid he quite literally jumped his house

so the very first time and probably the

only time that I've ever seen that to

this point but yeah he uh he jumped his

house to turn the power

on so I'm I'm not an electrician by no

means but what I think he did is he he

overexerted the breaker to get power to

his house and that I guess it's my

theory I have to talk to an electrician

about this one yeah I I've never seen

anything like it before and I didn't I

didn't question it I was just like all

right cool I I have I'm G have to talk

to elri about this one because this this

one this one's very intriguing but one

thing about your Market is you have you

have wild

stories yeah yeah we

do yeah you have wild stories and

they're they're ever ever incoming and

they're never going to stop something

new every

Conclusion and Contact Information

week that's funny so jump in a house

I've never heard the story I'm G have to

do some research for anybody here leave

a comment or something if you've heard

about this but I'm very curious to to

know how this was done in fact I'm gonna

call on Tran I just don't know how he

figured that out like at some point they

shut the power off and he he had to have

asked somebody how to or did he just do

it himself and you know that's a little

risky I I don't know if I would have

done something like that well I mean I

we're not put to desperation to to do

that so I don't I don't think we would

ever figure that out but now that I know

it's possible maybe like in the

apocalypse times this is something good

to know something in theory it kind of

makes sense that's what they do with

generators right yeah

so it's just I don't know how he had it

hooked up but however he had it hooked

up it was very interesting so for that

is definitely a good episode for deal

Host/ Ceo/ Speaker

I have been an entrepreneur since 2018. I come from a regular home just like most people. My dad worked on the roads in the Chicago area for over 30 years. He always taught me to work with my brain, instead of my body. Your body can only take so much abuse. I learned so much from my father. He always pushed me to work smarter and not harder.

I have owned and operated a trucking business for 2 years. I started learning real estate in 2019. Fell into the Data & Skiptracing business in 2020. My partner Anthony & I started Hivemind in 2021.

I have done a ton of different jobs coming up from painting, to door-to-door sales, telemarketing, truck driving, and loading trailers. What I learned most is that I want to stay in the digital business space. The leverage you can have delivering digital products to the marketplace can yield limitless possibilites.

I started The List Guys in 2020. It is a data and skiptracing service. We provide seller and buyers list nationwide. My clients have been getting great results and I am proud to help people killing it.

I started the Hive in 2021 with my partner Anthony Gaona. It is a real estate and business mastermind. It also comes with a all in one CRM, that can host unlimited websites and users.

Starting the Hivemind has been an amazing journey so far. Seeing one of our users make his 6 figure month in June 2021 leveraging our software, I know there will be plenty more to come!

When I graduated high school in 2014, I immediately went into the field of physical therapy because I planned on starting a business. I got my associates in physical therapy to start working and get my foot in the door while I went back to school to get my doctorate which would allow me to achieve my goal of starting a business. At that time, I realized how long it actually took to save up a down payment for rental real estate because that’s something I was always interested in and when Covid hit in 2020 I had a little bit more time to figure out how to make money so I stumbled across wholesaling real estate. in May 2020 my partners and I started the business and we closed our first deal in September. Between September and the end of the year we closed six deals and may just under 100 grand. I went full-time and real estate that time while I was still in school, my doctorate. Between 2021 and 2022 my partner and I closed about 50 deals on our own and we hired at the end of the year. Between 2022 and 2023 we close 85 deals and continued hiring. Between 2023 and 2024 we close 120 deals and we were still growing and now this year we are on paste to eclipse 200 deals , since we started in 2020 our business has now grown into multiple entities. We wholesale we flip we buy and hold we build portfolios further investors, and we are part of a retail real estate group.
