659: Beat the Grind: Make Millions in Real Estate by Gamifying Your Day-To-Day w/Luke Rotvold

from BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast · host BiggerPockets

Nobody likes cold calling. Even just the thought of cold calling is enough to make seasoned real estate investors start to sweat. The waiting, debating, and constant rejection can get to anyone. So why not take the stress out of a tense situation? Why not make cold calling a game? Luke Rotvold decided to do just this. As a new wholesaler, he was used to spending hours on the phone every day. He got so bored that he started playing video games while negotiating with sellers. Surprisingly, it didn’t distract him—it made finding deals far easier. Luke severely leveled up his cold calling skills during those eight-hour long Madden marathons, and eventually started making enough money to build his own team. But Luke didn’t want to start something that felt like a drag to the workers, employers, and everyone else in between. Instead, Luke built a lifestyle-first business, where everyone wins (and loses) together, and coming to work feels like an escape, not a prison sentence. The results speak for themselves as Luke and his team have been able to crush massive wholesaling, flipping, and investing goals. Luke has made hundreds of thousands on flips, tens of thousands cold calling, and now watches as his cascading cash flow rolls in from his buy and hold investments. He breaks down his four tips to gamify your real estate business so you, and your team, can build wealth together. In This Episode We Cover: Why cold calling is such a difficult skill to master and how making it fun will get your more deals Creating a company culture that outside employees will be envious of The four ways to gamify your real estate investing so you can enjoy getting more done Sharing the wins, and losses, with a team so everyone rises together  Incentivizing not only your employees but yourself by building powerful goals Partnering with those you work with so you can collectively build bigger portfolios  And So Much More!
