Unlock Your Real Estate Potential: Lessons from a Banana Seller Turned Hedge Fund Dealmaker

Are you ready to transform your real estate journey from ordinary to extraordinary? Look no further than the inspiring story of Victor Heredia, who went from selling bananas in Mexico to becoming a powerhouse in the world of hedge fund deals.

This podcast episode is a must-listen for any aspiring real estate professional looking to take their business to new heights. Vic's journey is a testament to the power of persistence, relationship-building, and a relentless drive to succeed.

The Beginning

Starting out, Vic heard about young real estate investors making a killing in the industry. Intrigued, he dove headfirst into learning the ropes, studying for three months straight before closing his first deal in just 10 days. This laser-focused approach to education is a lesson we can all learn from. Too often, we get caught up in analysis paralysis, when what we really need is to take action and put our knowledge into practice.

Expansion

But Vic's story doesn't stop there. He went on to leverage his relationships and connections to start selling deals to large hedge funds - a feat that requires not only exceptional deal-making skills, but also the ability to navigate the complex world of institutional real estate investing. By persistently reaching out to these big players, Vic was able to break into this lucrative market, showcasing the power of tenacity and the willingness to go the extra mile.

The Challenges

Of course, no success story is without its challenges. When the market shifted and the hedge fund deals dried up, Vic had to pivot his business strategy. Instead of throwing in the towel, he embraced the change, focusing on listing properties on the MLS and working with cash buyers. This adaptability is a hallmark of true entrepreneurial greatness.

Steve Trang

Steve Trang’s mission is to create 100 Millionaires. Why 100 Millionaires? Steve saw that assisting someone become a millionaire by building their business is a key measurable to helping them fulfill their dreams. People change and update their visions over time, but having the means to achieve them remains a necessity. Thus, creating millionaires means helping people live their dreams. To further this mission, Steve started the Real Estate Disruptors podcast in 2018 to inspire wholesalers and real estate agents to double their incomes by adding a second leg to their business – working together on investment properties. The podcast has grown to over 100,000 downloads per month and over 3 million YouTube views, with new guests sharing their success stories and imparting advice every week. As a sales coach, Steve has helped thousands of clients generate millions in sales over the past few years in a variety of industries. His Disruptors Selling System teaches salespeople to ethically work with customers to discover their true needs, then craft a solution that works for the customer. One of Steve’s favorite quotes is from the great Zig Ziglar: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” He heard this quote when he first got into real estate, and it has stuck with him throughout his entire career. In fact, it’s one of the core values Steve lives by. Steve is also a successful businessman. On top of owning single family rentals, he also owns apartments, co-founded a bank, and is a part-owner in several other businesses.
