Carrotcast - Amplify Your Life, Income, And Real Estate Game With Trevor Mauch

Maybe you're trying to make your first 100K or 300K as an investor. Or maybe you're already crushing it but contemplating whether you should keep scaling your business. In this honest conversation with Brett, who has been in real estate for 15 years, we take a look at the business model, the lead generation, the team structure, and the vision and motivations that allow him to run a highly profitable business (36 deals in 2024) that's fulfilling & meaningful.What if the key to a thriving real estate business isn't rapid scaling, but intentional relationships and a clear vision?
