- Hey there, what's going on?
This is Seth fro the REtipster blog and in this video
I want to talk about some of the YouTube channels
that I'm following right now.
(upbeat music)
Now, as someone who has a real estate blog and
my own YouTube channel, YouTube is a place I just
spend a lot of time by default.
I don't know if you're somebody who spends time
on YouTube, but if you are and if you're looking
for some good channels to follow, I just wanted to
mention a few of them.
Keep in mind before we get into this,
I'm not by any means saying that these are the only
good ones to follow.
I think there's a ton of good ones out there.
It's just that these are the ones that I'm paying
attention to right now.
I'm sure there's dozens, probably hundreds of other
great YouTubers out there.
It's just that these are the ones that have caught my eye
for one reason or another and I just think they're
really cool and interesting.
And, by all means, if you know of a great one that I'm
not mentioning here, be sure to list it in the
comments below and I'll go check it out.
(upbeat music)
Okay so the first channel on my list is a website
you've probably heard of before and if you haven't
you definitely need to check it out.
It's the BiggerPockets YouTube channel.
And what I like bout the BiggerPockets YouTube channel
is that these guys put out a ton of content.
I mean, we're talking just about every day there's
at least one new video that they're posting.
And a lot of their videos are really pretty simple,
they're just the video feed from the BiggerPockets
podcast.
So they basically record both the video and the audio
and they just happen to repurpose the content for
the videos and put them on their channel.
So if you miss their podcast episodes it's a great
place to see the actual video feed of their conversations.
They've also got a lot of these talking head videos.
I do a lot of this kind of thing on my channel too,
where somebody on the BiggerPockets team,
whether it be Brandon or Mindy or Scott,
they'll just cover a topic in-depth that's just
really interesting, it just really helps explain
how to analyze deals or things to look at when you're
flipping a house or evaluating a property.
Just all kinds of different topics that are just
really nice and helpful and informative.
Especially if you're on the beginning end of
real estate investing, there''s a ton of value to be
gotten not just from the BiggerPockets website,
but also from their YouTube channel.
If you're looking for a great outlet for some
real estate eduction, be sure to subscribe to the
BiggerPockets channel, they've got a lot of good
stuff going on there.
The next YouTube channel on my list is from a guy
named John Fedrow.
And John's a guy I've been following for a few years now,
he runs a website at mobilehomeinvesting.net.
And I gotta tell you I'm not somebody who has ever
invested in mobile homes, but the idea has always
kind of intrigued me, especially as a land investor.
It's a type of real estate that can really integrate
well with vacant land.
And John, he is just so good at explaining his points
and conveying his idea.
He's just got a really good on screen presence
and a good demeanor in front of the camera.
And it's not like the production of his videos are
anything terribly complicated, I think a lot of them
are probably just taken with his phone or something
like that, but really just in the value of what
he's saying, he just has a lot of really good advice
for real estate investors in general.
But specifically if you're into mobile homes or if
you're even remotely interested in that.
He's got a lot of great information.
And if you're looking for a guy who just knows what
he's doing and very good at educating people
about mobile home investing, be sure to check this guy out.
I think he's awesome, I've been following him
for a long time.
He's one of those channels where every time a new one
is posted I'm like, "Oh awesome, I've got to check out
"John's video."
So definitely be sure to check him out.
Another YouTube channel I'm following right now is
Epic Real Estate Investing, and this is run by
a guy named Matt Theriault.
And something I really appreciate about Matt is that
not only is he clearly an expert, I mean,
this guys knows his stuff, but he's also really good
at explaining things in a way that doesn't over hype
or over sell anything.
He's just very down to earth.
Something I've noticed with a lot of Matt's videos
is that I just find myself nodding my head a lot
with a lot of the things he says.
So if you're looking for some great ideas and insights
on real estate investing, definitely check this guy out.
I think he's got a lot of good stuff out there
and I really like his voice and just the way he
explains things.
So totally check this guy out, I think he's great.
Another YouTube channel I've been following for a while
is from a guy named Phil Pustejovsky.
And one of the reasons I think Phil is worth mentioning
here is because, to the best of my knowledge,
of all the real estate investing YouTube channels
out there right now, he is number one in terms of
subscribership.
I don't know of any other real estate investing
YouTube channel that has more subscribers than he does.
With the way YouTube works, you just don't get that
many subscribers unless you're bringing something
of substantial value to the table.
And, to be completely honest, the first few times I saw
Phil's videos I only watched the first 15 or 20 seconds
and just didn't land quite right with me.
It's hard for me to put my finger on why,
I don't know if it was the plugging of his book
or his mentoring program.
So for a long time I just sort of wrote him off
and didn't pay much attention to him.
But eventually after seeing his videos all over
the place I decided to just give him a chance and
watch a few of his videos from beginning to end.
And once I actually gave the guy a chance to get his
message across, I found that his videos were actually
very, very good.
I mean, I agreed with a lot of the things he was saying
and he clearly has a lot of experience and wisdom to share.
And whether you've already got some experience in
real estate or if you're just getting started,
I think if you watch a handful of his videos,
chances are, you're gonna get some pretty good insights
from what he has to say.
I haven't seen all his videos, not by a long shot,
but of the noes I have seen, I think he covers a lot
of topics very well and he could definitely be
somebody who you may want to check out.
At least give him a shot and see if you like it.
Another one of the YouTube channels that I'm following
right now is called Fix and Flip Hub from Marty Borden
and Manny Romero.
As somebody who produces videos for YouTube,
I am amazed at the quality of the videos on this channel.
I believe Marty Borden actually handles just about
all of this.
Not only the shooting of the videos, but also the
talking in front of the camera and then the editing
and producing and, I mean, really all of it.
And apparently the way he's able to do this is because
he used to work in the video production industry
and so he's been doing this for a lot of years
before he got into the real estate game and he knows
how to put together great videos,
better than most people.
And as the name implies, this YouTube channel is focused
on flipping houses, which is not something I've
ever done, I'd probably be terrible at it if I
ever tried.
But I've always enjoyed watching the process
on shows like A&E's Flip The House, that kind of thing.
And, no joke, the quality of these videos is like on the
same level as what you would see on A&E.
I mean they are very, very good.
So if you're into the house flipping business,
if you just want to learn more,
or if you're just looking for some really good quality
entertainment that is very, very well done be sure
to check out this YouTube channel, I think it's awesome.
And I don't think it's been around for a terribly long time.
There's not like a huge library of videos yet,
but the videos that are on there are all just like
top of the line grade A material.
So definitely check these guys out,
they're doing some pretty amazing work.
And, last but not least, I got to mention this while
we're on the subject, be sure to check out my
YouTube channel.
Chances are if you're watching this right now
you're either on my YouTube channel or you're on
the REtipster blog.
Most of the videos on my YouTube channels consist of
screen shot tutorials where I'm taking people through
how to use a website or software of some kind.
And a lot of the videos look a lot like this where
you'll just see me here at my desk and I just cover
a lot of tools and resources that are really really
helpful to me and things that I think the rest
of the real estate investing world should know about.
To be honest, back when I first created this YouTube
channel, it was not really intended to be a big thing,
it was really just an outlet where I could post
instructional videos that would help supplement
the things that I talked about on my blog,
because I've always felt that a well done video
can be just extremely powerful in helping to teach
and convey concepts and ideas.
However, as I've been doing this more and more,
a lot of the people have started subscribing to the
channel and have just found a lot of value in
continually coming back to check out the videos
that I post.
So it started to become more of it's own animal
where I try to post videos fairly regularly,
I'd say on a really good video I'll post a video
maybe once a week.
And usually there's a new video at least once a month
that I put out there.
So I wouldn't say I'm somebody who puts out a huge
volume of videos, but the ones that I do put out there,
I try to spend a lot of time on them and make sure
that they're packed with informative helpful content.
So if you're looking for more videos that follow
this same kind of format and just talk about what's
going on in my business and the different resources
that have been helpful to me, definitely consider
subscribing and I think you might find it helpful.
So that pretty much wraps it up for the YouTube channels
that I've been paying attention to.
But like I said earlier, I'm sure there's a ton of them
out there that are awesome that I just didn't mention.
So if you know of some great ones be sure to list them
in the comments below and I can either check them out
or other people who are watching this video can
check them out too.
Thanks again for watching, I hope this video was
informative to you.
Be sure to check out some of these guys if you
haven't seen them before and let me know what you think.
See ya.
