Diving into a mastermind can either be a costly misstep or a smart investment in elevating your real estate business. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Dedric and Krystal Polite, a home-flipping duo who transitioned from wholesaling to starring in the Hulu and A&E show “50/50 Flip.” The couple, also founders of Be Polite Properties, have successfully expanded their home-buying and acquisition business into new markets, showcasing their expertise as real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and mentors.
Jonathan’s conversation with Dedric and Krystal outlines their use of social media to grow their business, the impact of investing in a high-cost mastermind, and the importance of surrounding themselves with the right people. They also share thoughts on building a qualified team to scale, landing their “50/50 Flip” show, and their approach to attracting top-tier tenants as landlords.
You’ll hear more about some of the factors in Dedric and Krystal’s success, including:
- A high-end mastermind cost them thousands of dollars early in their real estate career, but Dedric and Krystal agree it forced them to take the business seriously.
- Their virtual wholesaling model meant they experienced little disruption during the pandemic.
- Their show, “50/50 Flip,” has brought them unusual and unexpected opportunities, but it also means they have to manage expectations about what they do and pricing.
Dedric and Krystal Polite were weary of corporate slog, and real estate taught them to think outside the box while creating a lucrative career in which they thrived on helping others.
