Hashim Ismail’s success with remote and local real estate investing
As a dreamer and life-long learner, Hashim Ismail makes it a goal to push himself. Hashim officially started his real estate investing journey eleven months ago but began learning about real estate just two years ago. He dealt with analysis paralysis, but after making a goal to start in 2021, he decided to jump in with both feet. Through hard work, dedication, and optimism, Hashim has closed on seven properties in eleven months.
Since Hashim invests out of state, he dealt with a whole new set of obstacles apart from the usual challenges new investors face. Through the new connections he made, Hashim educated himself on the area, without having to physically visit! Investing out-of-state can be risky within itself, so he has created a series of processes to mitigate risk as much as possible. In this podcast episode, Hashim talks about how he got started in real estate and how he found immense success simply by stepping out of his comfort zone.

These off-market properties, otherwise known as pocket listings, are a great source of leads for those that know how to find them. By using some old-fashioned elbow grease, Anson is able to find cash-flowing deals in competitive markets. Today, Anson shares his insights on how he finds off-market deals in today's market.

Before becoming a real estate entrepreneur, KeePon Cashflow’s founder Billy Keels worked in the corporate world. In fact, he was one of the best “corporate soldiers” you’d ever want to meet. Billy says that he was happy enough in his J.O.B., but something was missing. An emptiness and longing for a different life chewed on him, pulling him to what he knew he wanted to do more than anything else. Billy wanted to be an entrepreneur who brought two worlds together. So he took steps and kept on the path to his goals. Today Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach and mentor. He sees opportunities where others often don’t in real estate.
No “overnight success,” Billy continues to work toward his vision and goals. Topmost on his list?
