Real estate agents have more investing opportunities than most people realize.

In this Power Players training, Coach Brock Zevan sits down with Sherry Letterman for a real, practical, no-fluff conversation about how real estate agents can start thinking like investors, creating more opportunities, and using the tools already available to them.

This session dives into wholesaling, novations, hard money loans, DSCR loans, BRRRR strategy, private money, JV partnerships, short sales, finding deals, working with contractors, and why agents need to get into the right rooms if they want to grow.

Brock also shares real examples from his own business, including wholesale conversations, novation opportunities, working with agents across the country, and how getting around investors has stretched his thinking and opened up new income lanes.

If you are a real estate agent, Realtor, wholesaler, investor, lender, or entrepreneur who wants to learn how to find deals, fund deals, partner with the right people, and stop letting fear or lack of knowledge hold you back, this episode is for you.

The market is shifting.
Transaction counts are lower.
Agents need to think differently.

And sometimes the biggest opportunity is not just listing the property.

Sometimes the opportunity is learning how to structure the deal, partner with someone, use investor funding, and create income in a way you were not even thinking about before.
