Key Takeaways:
“We can make it work; we can figure out a way we kind of go in the opposite way. We want our deals to be so robust with so much extra room, that when things go wrong, and they usually always do that there is room to handle the mistakes.” – Rocky Lalvani
“If you’re not cash flowing properly, you may not be profitable.” – Rocky Lalvani
“Once I saw the system from Mike and I learned that most business owners weren’t looking at their financial statements, and they couldn’t understand them, I was like, there’s the goldmine for me, this is where I belong. And so that’s where that grouping came together with him.” – Rocky Lalvani
“You’re not going to buy that house and flip it without putting a lot more money into it than you said you had to. And that’s the reality of it.” – Rocky Lalvani
“With the profit first system, you tell your dollars where to go.” – Rocky Lalvani
“We got to get a deal. You are better off waiting and finding the right opportunity than rushing out because I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times. Where’s the money made in real estate? On the purchase.” – Rocky Lalvani
