About this listen
Make money on your schedule through real estate.
Do you feel stuck in a dead-end career? Would you rather work part-time, cash in $25,000 checks regularly, and make $100,000 in just your first year?
There’s more to life than what you are doing now. You have the ability to become self-sufficient and make serious money. The only thing holding you back is yourself.
Expert real estate investor Scott Jelinek understands how to achieve entrepreneurial success, and in Work Just Gets in the Way of Making Money, he shares strategies you can use to find, negotiate, and sell real estate.
You’ll discover how to:
- Market for properties
- Calculate and present effective offers
- Obtain cash buyers for deals
- Flip houses for selling or renting
- Assemble a team of professionals
- Set yourself free to live an awesome life
This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme that you’ll still have to work hard and study. But by following Jelinek’s step-by-step action plan, you can gain the confidence and knowledge needed to become a successful real estate investor with a predictable income.

Story
Just as "flipping" is purchasing an asset with a short holding period with the intent of selling it for a quick profit rather than holding for a long-term appreciation, "slow flipping" is the process of flipping a property as slowly as possible. This book explains the need to understand what wealth means on a personal level. It highlights that one needs to think of one's ideal day and put a cost on whatever is needed to make that day happen. And with that in mind, one's goal has to be written down to create a guideline for the slow-flipping journey.

Story
The Millionaire Booklet was created for you to keep close to you until you become a millionaire. The eight steps Grant lays out are in a very simple-to-understand language that will allow you to get started today in creating the money you deserve. Let's face it, your parents didn't teach you how to get rich and the schools and colleges don't even talk about it. At a time when more and more people are slipping out of the middle class into poverty, more people are becoming rich.

Story
Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

Are you interested in real estate investing but there is nothing to buy that makes sense where you live? Are you tired of seeing the amazing success of others investing in markets better suited for buy and hold real estate and wish that could be you? Do you want to take advantage of wealth building opportunities but are frustrated by the fact there just isn't any way to do that until the next market crash? Real estate investing is one of the greatest vehicles to build wealth, but it doesn't make sense in every market. Some locations provide incredible returns, while others make it almost impossible to find a single property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has been considered risky and unwise.

Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.
