498: 2 Deals A Month At Age 17—Why He Chose Foreclosures

from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host David Lecko, Porter Krumpe

A lot of wholesalers try to market to everything at once and end up mastering nothing. Porter Krumpe is 17 years old and already generating one to two deals a month by focusing on one niche: foreclosures. In this episode, David sits down with Porter to break down why he chose that lane, how he works inside tight auction timelines, how he structures holdbacks to solve real seller problems, and what he’s learned from leaving money on the table early on. If you’re already doing deals but feel scattered, this conversation is a reminder that focus might be the real advantage.
