Ep. 47 | Wholesaling Secrets No One Talks About - Devan Carroll

Unlock the Secrets to Real Estate Success with Devan Carroll

On this week’s Shakin’ Hands Podcast, Jack Moran dives deep with Devan Carroll, a real estate entrepreneur who started from scratch and built a thriving business. You’ve heard the stories of quick riches in real estate, but what does it really take to succeed?

The truth is, it’s not about the flashy deals; it’s about the real foundation. And Devan? He’s here to tell you exactly what that foundation is.

What’s the True Key to Success in Real Estate?

It’s a question everyone asks when they’re starting out: What’s the magic trick to making it big?

But Devan doesn’t talk about shortcuts. In fact, he believes the most successful real estate entrepreneurs aren't the ones who take the easy path; they’re the ones who focus on continuous learning and building genuine relationships. Yes, you read that right. It’s about the people, not just the properties.

“A mentor is someone that you're really working for. You're not paying your mentor to teach you your work. The mentor is investing in you because they see potential. If you succeed, their training pays off, and they see a profit from you.”

So, is it just about finding the right mentor? Or is there more to this puzzle?

What About the Big Deals? How Do You Break In?

Now, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “Start small, dream big.” But how do you really break into the big leagues?

Here’s the twist: the real secret lies in starting small; in fact, you might even need to get comfortable with the tough stuff. The parts of real estate no one talks about, like wholesaling. It isn’t about jumping straight into million-dollar deals, Devan and Jack started by mastering the art of getting the smallest deals done.

“I can't expect my employees to do it if I don't know how to do it, so I have to do it first. Then we just film videos on everything. Everything is documented, and they always have those trainings to go back on.”

But why is this ground-level learning so crucial? What’s the real power behind doing the hard work yourself?

Is the ‘Get-Rich-Quick’ Mentality Holding You Back?

So, we’ve talked about mentors, small deals, and getting your hands dirty. But there’s one thing no one tells you about when it comes to real estate: the waiting game.

Real estate success isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. And if you’re thinking you’re going to make a quick fortune, Devan’s here to set the record straight. The biggest wins come from delayed gratification, but the question is, how do you stay motivated when the process feels painfully slow?

“The majority of real estate investing is delayed gratification. Wholesaling is tough, and it's not for everyone, but if you're consistent, the results will come.”

The secret? It’s all about consistency, even when the immediate results aren’t there. 

If you’re looking for a shortcut, you won’t find it here. But Devan’s story holds the real blueprint for success:

• Build genuine relationships that last.

• Learn from the ground up and embrace the tough stuff.

• Trust the process, even when the rewards seem far off.

Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling property; it’s about building the right foundation, one piece at a time.
