From DoorDash Driver to $1.5M in Real Estate (Making $50K/Month)

Your DoorDash driver may be the world's next real estate mogul. If you ever had Josh Janus drop off food at your house, you may have been in the middle of him getting a deal done. That's right; between picking up and delivering food, Josh was cold-calling sellers, sourcing as many off-market real estate deals as possible. This type of serial side hustling led Josh to acquire $1,500,000 in real estate at age twenty-two, making $50,000 per month and building a business most entrepreneurs could only dream of.
From a young age, Josh was already the king of multiple income streams. He was making duct tape wallets on the bus, flipping shoes online, and doing whatever he could to save more money. When he found BiggerPockets, he realized that real estate was the way to propel his dollars even further, allowing him to have money work for him instead of the other way around. So, Josh set out building a "hybrid wholesaling" model. He would contact off-market sellers, send their information to an agent, and get paid for his side of the deal.
Once Josh got his real estate license, he started hustling even harder, selling $17,000,000 of real estate as an agent, making more in a month than many Americans make in a year. So what was Josh's quick key to success? How did he do all this in his early twenties without any experience? And how can you repeat the same system to skyrocket your wealth? Stick around; Josh will tell you how to do it too!

    I am a real estate investor and he is DEFINITELY lying about something here. Average rental yield in the US is 8% which means if you own property of 100k say you would make 8k a year on it in rent, before deducitng insurance, repairs, mortgage payments, taxes, etc. 50k/month is 600k a year and he said his portfolio is worth 1.5 million so that would mean he is making a 40% yield on his properties which is just impossible. Yh this guy is a LIAR lol 😂

Having two focuses/incomes not good. When I quit waiter job it was extreme do or die. My clinic increased like crazy . You may have some debts. Maybe pay some off or sell so you can put extra stress (do or die)or demands on your brain and real-estate.

    He was working as an assistant to an agent, doing cold calls for that agent. That’s not wholesaling. And instead of paying him hourly, they gave him money out of their commission. He called it “hybrid wholesaling” which is some phrase he made up to not label himself an assistant.

    Depends on what you want to do? I suggest hacking the next way, and turning the current one into a rental. You could rent out all of the rooms to maximize cashflow, or you can long term rental and have less management. Each one is market dependent.

What recommendations do you have for the best time to buy? On the one hand, I keep reading and seeing trader earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

    Like someone else said. Most of that money is from being an agent. He sold $17m of real estate. At 3% commision, that comes to $510k per year or $42,500 per month. That leaves $7,500 per month coming from his $1.5m portfolio which is a little more believable.

    Josh is the example we should all strive for. He doesn't make excuses (unlike MANY commenters here in the chat), he puts his head down, focuses and works. He is then able to evaluate, realistically, what works and what does not. By making small changes he has perfected his strategy. That strategy may need tweaking as the market changes but at least he's doing it. Kudos to him.
