533: 4+ Deals Per Month, Then He Stopped Chasing Small Deals

from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Travis Goodwin, David Lecko, Ryan Haywood

Travis Goodwin has been investing in West Virginia's small market for eight years as a solopreneur — and for a long time, he was running himself ragged chasing every deal he could find. In this episode, he breaks down the moment he decided to stop chasing volume and start targeting bigger paydays, how he shifted his marketing to better neighborhoods, and why bringing in JV partners actually forced him to level up his deals. He also gets into his unique auction-based disposition strategy, how he handles tough seller situations, and near the end he announces a giveaway for a free year of DealMachine.   Join Travis Goodwin's Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smallmarketrealestateinvesting   Text Travis: (304) 444-6744   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:32 - What Travis Has Been Up To 2:13 - Focusing On Bigger Deals 7:55 - Time In The Business 9:47 - His Marketing 12:30 - Bringing In Partners 14:13 - Auctions 20:25 - The Hardest Deal He's Ever Done 31:31 - Using A Buyers List 32:29 - How To Get In Touch & Closing Thoughts 36:10 - Outro   LINKS: Facebook: Travis Goodwin https://www.facebook.com/smallmarketrei/   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/
