EP 120: Before You Go From Wholesaling to Curative Title, Watch This
Thinking about making the jump from wholesaling into curative title investing?You probably have more of a head start than you realize—but some of the habits that work in wholesaling can actually hurt you in curative title.In this episode of the Messy Money Podcast, I break down what transfers from wholesaling, what you may need to unlearn, and why curative title requires a deeper level of problem solving, research, patience, and risk analysis.We cover:Why wholesalers aren't starting from zeroThe difference between identifying problems and actually solving themWhy competency should come before scalingWhere your money is better spent in curative titleWhy relying entirely on the title company can hurt youWhy speed isn't always an advantageWhy small spreads can be dangerous in curative dealsWhen to bring in attorneys, genealogists, investigators, and other professionalsCurative title isn't just wholesaling harder deals. It's learning how to understand messy title and ownership problems well enough to determine whether they can be solved—and whether there's enough profit to make solving them worthwhile.ATTENTION:The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects personal experiences and opinions.

LA RE Talks EP 17: Will Louisiana’s $2 Billion Port DESTROY St Bernard Parish Property Values?
Will the nearly $2 billion Louisiana International Terminal cause property values in St. Bernard Parish to crash or could the massive port project actually increase demand for Real Estate?That question has become increasingly important for homeowners in Violet, Chalmette, Meraux, and throughout St. Bernard Parish as the LIT project moves closer to becoming a reality.In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, Courtney Fricke sits down with St. Bernard Parish Real Estate broker Mike Fernandez of Arpent Realty, who decided to stop guessing and actually look at the data.Mike studied communities surrounding other major ports and industrial projects, reviewed the LIT property-value study, analyzed comparable housing markets, and spoke directly with Real Estate brokers operating around similar projects.And what he found challenges some of the strongest claims being made on both sides of the Louisiana International Terminal debate.
