08/07/2025 - Winning Big with Low-Effort, High-Reward Deals

On this Elevate Coaching Call, we tackle the realities of a shifting market and the strategies to thrive despite the challenges. You’ll learn how to target “Jackpot” deals using the Effort vs. Reward Matrix, maximize direct mail results, and adapt exit strategies to protect cash flow. Whether you’re scaling past $1M or building up to it, this session delivers practical steps to stay profitable and resilient.

The Collective Genius coaching call examined today’s challenging market conditions, with some investors navigating “blood in the streets” scenarios due to shifting markets, extended timelines, and over-budget rehabs. Strategies included using the Effort vs. Reward Matrix to target low-effort, high-reward “Jackpot” deals, maintaining consistent direct mail campaigns with frequent follow-ups, and monitoring active and pending listings to stay ahead of trends. For businesses under $1M in revenue, the focus should remain on marketing, sales, and financials while diversifying exit strategies—such as wholesale, novation, and double closes—to improve cash flow and reduce risk.
