Changing Your Mindset With Brad Chandler

Welcome to another episode of Flipping Out. Today I have Brad Chandler with me, and I was just talking with Brad here a little bit before. I think we've known each other since either 2014 or 2015. We're in a couple of the same masterminds together. The first one is Collective Genius, which is really proper, I would say it's probably the first one.Brad first got introduced to real estate when he read a book in 9th grade on how to buy houses. In 2002, an investor bought his neighbor's house in Vienna Virginia and after talking with the investor he decided to start Express Homebuyers. 20 years later Express Homebuyers has bought and sold 4,000 homes across the country and runs primarily without his involvement. Brad's main focus is making an impact on the team members and the clients they serve by providing a customized solution that best addresses the client's individual needs. In early 2021 he went through a major life transformation and found freedom and happiness through self-love. In 2022, because of the profound shift, he felt obligated to share this path with others and started Brad Chandler Coaching.So we got to know each other a little bit there. And Brad runs a company called Express Home Buyers, which is out of the DC Baltimore area. And he was doing massive volume, and I think a lot of what you were doing was pay-per-click and some other things. We'll get into that in a minute, but before we dive into that, let me just ask you, what got you into real estate investing, to begin with? So I read a book in ninth grade on how to buy money and how to buy real estate with no money down and knew I always wanted to do real estate and it was for the money because I knew I could make a lot of money in real estate and we'll get to why money was important and, and a couple of minutes.So an investor bought my neighbor's house in late 2002 in Vienna, Virginia. Then, the house was like, there was gold right next door to me. I didn't even know it. This house was so run down. The guy was a recluse. I never saw him. And all of a sudden, like the house, is fixed up and there's a bunch of people, he's ha he's having a seminar in there. So, I go talk to him and I'm like, what do you do? And he goes, I buy houses at 30% below market. I fix them up and I resell them. So I decided that time that I was going to make that my business. And my son had just been born and I was working a full-time job. So I'd come home at six o'clock, spend a couple of hours with him, put him at eight, and then I'd work from like eight to midnight.Connect With Brad Chandler!Brad ChandlerChief Transformation OfficerBrad Chandler CoachingBradchandler.com/contact571-212-0034Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join Flipping Out community today:thevirtualinvestor.coFacebookLinkedIn
