REI Biz or REI Hobby? Part 5: Work Yourself Out of the Work
It’s a tough pill to swallow for some, but truth is…you’re replaceable.
I know, I know…it stings a bit at first, but I promise the pain will subside quickly when you hear what David Corbaley – former member of the U.S. Special Forces, firefighter, internet marketer, fitness guru and now REI expert (just to name a few professions…I’m exhausted) has to say about letting others do (some) of your REI work for you.
Today I bring you Part 5 of this awesome video lesson series. We’ve introduced the concept of real estate investment as a business versus a hobby and what that means. You learned how to make the switch from all business to some business, and we shared some thoughts on deal chasers versus deal sifters. All good stuff.

So what’s behind curtain #5? What mind blowing inspirations and insights can you expect to walk…
David Corbaley
joined the military right out of high school and became a special forces green beret. After 10 years he exited and joined the Seattle fire department. He started his real estate investing career in 2002 and bought his very first property on a lease option. After learning multiple ways to do a deal, like most investors do, he found a serious issue: He kept going broke. He was doing everything the courses said, direct mail, signs, ads and everything else. Same results: Do a deal, get paid, then find himself with little money all over again. Do another deal, get paid, etc. Over and over. The problem was not having leads to fuel his business. No leads or sporadic leads = no/sporadic business.
Finally, he went back to his Commando roots, and approached it from an unconventional standpoint. Then it happened. After 2 years of R&D and testing, he relaunched in 2006 and ended up doing 7 figures that year. It’s cool to have become a sought after marketing master. Companies now seek him out to consult for their business and marketing strategies. He’s known as “The Marketing Commando”, and for good reason: He’s trained thousands of real estate investors and business owners how to turn on the REAL power of marketing in their business.
