Hey guys, how's it going? This is Seth Williams here from retipster.com.
In this video today, I want to let about a handful of other
real estate focused YouTubers that I've been following for a while.
This is kind of fun for me because, as a content creator in this space,
as somebody who has made a lot of videos,
I'm very familiar with the challenge behind making a good video.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff you have to do right
to have a good video.
You have to have something good to say
something that's actually going to help people and inform people.
That's pretty much the most critical component.
And believe it or not, that's sometimes can be a challenge
to have something that hasn't already been said a hundred times
by other people or to have a unique take on it.
And even if you do have something to say,
when you talk about video, there's so many things that have to be dialed in.
I mean, you have to look presentable.
First of all, for me, that's always a big challenge.
You always have to have a good background, environment, lighting, audio,
you're delivering your vocal tone and facial expressions have to be on point.
And even things like you can't be too long-winded or boring in your video,
but you also have to be thorough enough
so that you're given enough information.
Andthat what you're saying actually makes sense.
And that there's some value there.
Anyway, I just know how much work it is to make a good video.
And there's naturally a lot of people that I follow and watch their videos all the time,
because I think they do a great job.
And I wanted to let who I've been paying attention to lately.
Chances are, if I think it's worth my time to watch these people's videos
there's something in it for you too.
These people are probably worth checking out at least,
and maybe even subscribing to their channels if you're on YouTube a lot.
All right. So the first person on my list here is a guy by the name of Ken McElroy.
So I discovered Ken a lot of years ago
when I first read his book, The ABCs of Real Estate Investing
He's one of the Rich Dad advisors that work with Robert Kiyosaki.
And most of Ken's videos are pretty simple.
It's like a video feed of him talking,
showing things on a whiteboard, maybe interviewing a guest.
And they're usually a little longer form like 20 minutes or longer,
or he's discussing a topic or a strategy or getting input from
somebody else on what they're doing.
And Ken focuses a lot more on like larger apartment buildings, commercial stuff.
And the thing I love about Ken's videos is that whenever I see the thumbnails of his videos
I always end up sticking around and watching most of the thing
because he just has this good way of hooking the audience and just explaining
things that sometimes can be pretty complicated in a way that,
anybody can understand it.
Even somebody who is dense as myself.
And that was actually one of the original things
that really got me about Ken's book The ABCs of Real Estate Investing
is that he explains how to invest in pretty large properties that
most people would sort of think
I can't do that. That's too much for me.
But it really helps simplify things and helps a lot of people
see that anything is possible.
I just really appreciate how he's able to deconstruct complex topics
and make them very palatable and easy to understand
Ken's channel is absolutely worth subscribing to.
So I'm going to link to it below, go check it out.
The next on the list is Max Maxwell.
So if you tend to watch real estate related content on YouTube at all, I'm willing to bet
you've probably seen one of his thumbnails pop up at some point
because the guy is killing it on YouTube right now.
And he kind of has been ever since I've been watching his channel,
which has been at least a couple of years now,
he's just doing everything right.
Like if you watch any one of his videos, they're always interesting.
They're always done well. His delivery is always on point.
They're never too long. He really knows what he's doing.
He's really good at delivering the message.
He's really good at showing people around his business as he's out in the trade,
as he's checking out houses, as he's talking to people,
Max really knows how to make a great YouTube video.
He's got a ton of subscribers and I'm sure that number is only going to go up.
It's really not surprising. Whether you're in the house wholesaling or not
there's bound to be something you can learn from his channel.
So this is definitely one to check out and subscribe to if you haven't already.
The next one on my list here is Clint Coons.
So Clint is another guy that I've been aware of
pretty much for as long as I've been running retipster.com.
I've just seen a lot of his articles and videos all over the place.
And what I like about Clint is that he's probably
one of the more prominent attorney figures that I know of who also is involved
in real estate investing and who also is willing to actually make
content in videos the way he does.
And it's actually unique to find somebody who does all of those things together.
There's a lot of real estate attorneys out there,
but not ones that are willing to make YouTube videos
and actually do a good job of them.
Likewise, there's a lot of real estate people who do YouTube stuff, but guess what?
They're not real estate attorneys.
So Clint has just a really nice blend of specialties and things that he does well.
And I've legitimately learned a lot of helpful stuff from watching his videos.
If you're looking for somebody who covers a lot of legal issues
that real estate investors have to deal with all the time.
and have the credentials to backup what they say,
definitely check out Clint's YouTube channel.
Next up on the list is Chris Haskins.
I met Chris this past year at VidSummit in LA
because he was the only other guy at that conference
who was also a real estate investor and a YouTuber.
We connected, and kind of hit it off.
And we've had him on the podcast and in the time that I've been able to
get to know him and also watch a lot of his videos,
I've been kind of blown away at how good his stuff is
and just what a nice likable guy he is.
He's pretty down to Earth. He's not like come on across as some cheesy salesman.
He just is who he is. And in a lot of videos that I've seen of his, he'll actually
walk you to a live auction in person,
or he'll walk you through one of the houses he's working on
or he'll show you how he negotiates with people.
And you can kind of just ride along and learn from him as he does his thing.
Just pretty cool because it's not hard to find people
out there who are fake or overly polished, or you can't really trust what they're saying
because it seems too good to be true.
And with Chris, I just always feel like I'm getting the real deal
Chris's channel is absolutely worth checking out.
And coming in at number five is my friend, Chad Carson.
So I was able to meet Chad in person a few years ago,
and I've been able to hang out with him on a number of different occasions
at different conferences and things that we were both at.
And I can tell you because I know him,
he's like the same person off the camera that he is on the camera.
Chad is also an author of a BiggerPockets book.
At one point, Chad and I were both blog writers for BiggerPockets.
So I kind of got to know his stuff a little bit through that,
but Chad is just another, like honest down to Earth individual
who's got a lot of great content on his YouTube channel
where he explaines super practical tips
and tricks and strategies that he's used himself.
And that he's been able to teach to a lot of other people as well.
This guy has developed a very loyal following and for good reason,
because he's got a lot of good advice to offer.
So definitely check out Chad's YouTube channel.
I think you're gonna like it.
Next step is Matt Faircloth.
And I first learned about Matt years ago
through BiggerPockets when I saw a few videos
that he had done for the BiggerPockets Youtube channel.
I think some of my favorite videos of Matt's are when he kind of walks you through
some of the properties that he's working on,
whether it's like a rental property or an addition he's putting onto a property
or some tenant issues where you can just see the real life situation
that he's dealing with,
what he's in the process of doing,
how he's adding value to a property.
And it's another one of these solid examples where
I kind of feel like I'm standing next to a mentor
in this area of real estate where he's just showing me, this is what I'm doing.
This is how I'm improving the situation or making the best of it.
This is my next move.
Matt's channel is an awesome one to check out.
Again just like all the other channels, I'm mentioning here
I'm going to link to his beneath this video.
And last but not least is a YouTuber named Kristina Smallhorn.
I actually discovered her channel not long ago
because I was just doing a simple search to try to learn more about modular homes
and how they differ from manufactured homes.
And man, I got to tell you, her video was like less than seven minutes long,
but just in that small chunk of time, I felt like I was like a pseudo expert on the matter
after hearing all the stuff she had to say.
It was like she just crammed so much value into this concise video.
It was amazing seriously.
And I've watched a number of other videos.
She also talks about tiny houses and market trends and other things,
and she just really knows her stuff and she knows how to put it together
in the right format and communicate the information
in just the right way for YouTube
I'll go ahead and link to her channel beneath here as well. Go check it out.
And also, of course, I'd be crazy if I didn't mention the REtipster YouTube channel
which is the video that you're watching right now.
On REtipster, we talk a lot about the real estate investing strategies
that we know the most about. Those happened to be things like
land investing, rental properties, wholesaling houses, things like that.
Land is probably the number one thing, but it's definitely not all we talk about.
We also explain a lot of the difficult, confusing and complicated terms and jargon
that are often thrown around in the real estate industry.
We take time to just dissect what are these words mean
so that you can understand them.
We also do a lot of like software and gear and tech reviews
for a lot of the software and services that are available to the real estate industry.
And there's a lot of it.
So there's really no shortage of stuff like that for us to talk about and explain
A lot of the other stuff that kind of fits in between the cracks
and also there's a number of other YouTube channels
that I continually learn about
whether I've been follwoing for a little bit.
So I'm going to link to a few more that I haven't even mentioned during the video,
