488: 100+ Deals A Year—By Keeping It Simple

In this episode, David Lecko sits down with Joshua Thompson, who runs a high-volume wholesaling operation in the Augusta market and closes over 100 deals a year. Joshua breaks down why his team intentionally walked away from flips and creative strategies, how shiny object syndrome holds wholesalers back, and what happens when you simplify and commit to one core strategy. They dive into sales psychology, negotiation, team structure, and what it actually takes to scale wholesaling without adding unnecessary risk or complexity. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:49 - An Overview Of Joshua Thompson’s Business2:25 - His Fire-Damaged Rental5:32 - His First Wholesale Deal8:53 - The Deals He’s Doing Now & Sales Tips14:58 - Music & Church17:47 - What His Team Looks Like Now19:19 - Being Profitable As A Wholesale Company20:32 - Where He Wants To Take His Business Next25:15 - The Marketing They’re Doing & Referrals30:18 - Who He’s Learned A Lot From32:48 - The Worst Advice He’s Ever Received34:59 - Hard To Get Data39:13 - Can You Catch On Fire As A Real Estate Investor?40:36 - Can You Die As A Real Estate Investor?42:11 - Books He’s Reading Right Now44:53 - His Social Media46:08 - Extra Questions From Moustafa48:35 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Joshua Thompsonhttps://www.instagram.com/joshuaathompson107/ Website: SOS Home Offershttps://www.soshomeoffers.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/
