We're sharing this episode from our new Investor Creator's Deals Podcast, where we're celebrating Rachel and Eran Sivan and their wins in the past year and a half. Prior to Investor Creator, they never ever bought a piece of real estate. But they did a million dollars net in less than 14 months of implementation of our processes and systems.
In this episode, we dive deep into their success. We're talking about the lead generation they've used, how they deal with mindset struggles and challenges, the first deal that they did, as well as the toughest deal that they did.
Rachel's and Eran's story will help you build your belief systems, because we at Investor Creator believe that there's more to business internally than externally. Your mindset and your belief systems will drive growth more than what the market's doing, what interest rates are doing, who the next president is etc. So let's hear it from Rachel and Eran!
What is Covered:
(00:00) Introduction and why we must learn to celebrate wins
(05:17) Apprentice Spotlight: Rachel and Eran Sivan
(09:02) Transitioning from nonprofit work to real estate

This is a special Patriots edition of the Investor Creator Podcast. Unless you've been in a coma for the past three days, then you know that there was an assassination attempt at the former President Trump that came incredibly close to having dire consequences.
But since this is not a politics show but a real estate show, the question we are asking now as real estate investors is, how does this potentially impact the real estate market?
In this episode, Brad shares what he has seen so far in election cycles, and how significant political events impact the buyers' activity and buyers' sentiment. We're going to cover the situation in the real estate market around 2016 elections, and what we can possibly expect in the light of this extreme event and upcoming elections of 2024. Brad also shares advice for the real estate investors on how to track their listings to remain safe, and why we all have to be cognizant of market cycles today.
Because the first rule of making money is don't lose money. And stay tuned for our new show launching soon!
