In this episode of “The Secrets to Real Estate Investing” with Hard Hat Holly, we get the opportunity to sit down with one of our younger and newer investors, Steven Pesavento. This mover and shaker knew early on that the working the corporate grind was not going to provide a fulfilling life for him. Steven got started in real estate only a year and a half ago, and he hasn’t looked back since. The main hurdle he had to get over were his own limiting beliefs, which he graciously dives into with us today. While first getting started on this incredible journey, this inspirational young man made 80 offers which led to exactly zero deals. Demonstrating that if you want true success one must never give up, Steven kept on. Talk about perseverance! He stresses the importance of creating a team and a winning network, and what it means to have grit and tenacity in this business. Today he will share with our listeners many of the simple yet powerful techniques we all can use to increase our income by investing in key markets so we can achieve financial freedom and live the life of our dreams!   In this episode, you’ll learn about…   ● Getting past your own limiting beliefs ● How to surround yourself with the right people ● Direct mail marketing and various response rates in Southern California and other key markets ● Other marketing methods that Steven employs - cold calling, pay per click, Facebook, etc. ● Building relationships and rapport with sellers ● Bank financing, private money, and self directed IRAs   How to contact Steven Pesavento   Facebook: search for VonFinch NC or VonFinch MN Website: http://vfinvest.com    For our free download of the week, Steven has so generously offered our listeners a list of his Top 9 favorite books on real estate.
