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. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:46 - Porter Krumpe’s Business3:41 - Why He Door-Knocks5:03 - Why He Started Wholesaling9:05 - Being An Entrepreneur At A Young Age12:35 - Why Wholesaling Was Better Than Window Cleaning14:03 - Starting With Foreclosures & Using Holdbacks22:08 - Focusing On One Marketing Method23:50 - Leaving Money On The Table & His Goals27:04 - His Postcard Business31:23 - Talking With Sellers In Foreclosure36:45 - Recent Deals & Racing42:02 - Where To Find Porter42:27 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Porter Krumpehttps://www.instagram.com/krumpeporter Facebook: Porter Krumpehttps://www.facebook.com/porter.krumpe.489098 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/
