7FF 785: What If 12 Leads Were All It Took? “Blocking & Tackling” with Andy McFarland

May 8, 2025

About This Episode

Back when I was in the Marines, we trained on the fundamentals constantly.

Before you ever got into combat, you had to master the basics.

It’s the same in football. 

Every great player starts by learning how to block and tackle.

Real estate investing is no different.

A couple of years ago at Flip Hacking LIVE, my friend and mentor Andy McFarland took the stage and shared what those two “blocking and tackling” moves are for investors and exactly how to get good at them (even if you’re just getting started).

Andy’s business is pacing toward 284 deals this year. That’s not a typo. And when it comes to lead conversion? He’s locking up contracts from just 12 leads on average with PPC and SEO.

If you’re feeling stuck or just want to make sure you’re building on the right foundation…

If we look at the data…

It’s clear real estate is more than just theory—it’s about having a tactical guide to leveling up your sales game, building momentum, and creating repeatable success.

Inside 7 Figure Runway, we have more training modules just like this one available to help you successfully launch your real estate business.

(There are ways to make money when the market is up and plenty more ways to make money when the market is down… skilled investors can do both.)

I’ve watched so many people waste years waiting for the right moment…

…when what they REALLY needed was to get into the right environment, get around people who are committed to success no matter what, and keep taking action.

This is why getting into a group like 7 Figure Runway can be so powerful.
