786: Brandon Turner on Crash Prophecies,...

BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

Brandon Turner is back! That’s right, live from the Sea Shed are your beloved BiggerPockets hosts, Brandon and David! Can you feel the bromance brewing through your speakers, or is it just us? David flew out to attend one of Brandon’s recent events and conduct a two-part interview with one of the most popular property investors on the planet! And boy, oh boy, has Brandon been busy!

In this episode, David puts Brandon in the hot seat, going through a fire round of top-asked questions to get Brandon’s input on not just real estate but life. You’ll hear Brandon talk about housing market crash prophecies and whether or not he thinks they’ll come true, the struggles he’s facing with today’s intense competition, an unflattering tattoo that may or may not be part of a bet gone wrong, and why humiliation is one of the BEST ways to get you in the zone to WIN.

But that’s not all; you’ll hear about how Brandon used social media to build his entire real estate business, why NOW is the time to lock down good debt (and invest!), and why you need to STOP trying to survive and start looking to thrive! Tune in as we take a nostalgic walk down metaphor lane with Brandon and David!

In This Episode We Cover:

Finding financial freedom and why the everyday struggle to survive is NOT enough

Investing in 2023 and whether or not the housing market could be headed for a crash

Using social media to raise private capital, find employees, and grow your business

Facing humiliation and transforming negative emotions into the fire that propels you forward

Why you can’t buy happiness, but you CAN buy an “environment” that makes you happy 

An update on Brandon’s bet with InvestorGirlBritt over who will get an embarrassing new tattoo 

And So Much More!
