No Experience, 2 Houses Sold — Bryan's First Nashville Development

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]So, we back. Shout out to Brian. Say what's up to the camera, bro. What's up?

[00:00:05]>> I know y'all remember this site cuz last time we was on it. Um, it was a sight.

[00:00:11]That was a sight to see. A lot of construction getting ready to get started. But, as you can see right now, we got two fully completed homes, full circle project. Um, proud of my guy Brian. And the one on the left is actually already sold under contract.

[00:00:27]Full asking price. Actually more than what we thought it would sell for whenever we uh first got this deal.

[00:00:34]Whenever Brian first got it. So uh Brian, just talk to him a little bit, man. I know you had some real estate experience before you started building as a realtor, right?

[00:00:41]>> Right.

[00:00:42]>> And then you had some medical technology sales, right?

[00:00:44]>> Correct. So talk to me about, you know, how long you wanted to get into construction and what was like the constraints that was holding you back that was stopping you from, you know, making that first step and buying a lot and starting to build.

[00:00:55]>> Yeah, I mean I I think I I you know, I've been wanting to get to this point for five, six, eight years. And I think the big thing was just the money constraint of you got a family, you making good money. At what point is the jumping point to where you just stop and go for it?

[00:01:10]>> Yeah. Um, and I think that, you know, things in my medical sales world, I got a little bit too old and aged out of that, which honestly was a blessing because it kind of gave me the kick, you know, to like, all right, you got to go for something >> for the future, right?

[00:01:25]>> Your wife going to leave you.

[00:01:26]>> Yeah. I mean, so, you know, that's the goal is in the future is how do I how did I get that jumping point and this was it. But this was a great start, you know, and in looking for, you know, I built my I was really involved in building my own custom home about four years ago. That was great experience.

[00:01:40]Done a few other little things here and there which is great experience. But the cool thing about TripleM was I either my options were either go work for a builder or a developer and make no money or join TripleM, join the program and then just jump in and go, man, and just just take it on full speed. Uh learn everything I can be a sponge. Um and then, you know, and then here we are.

[00:02:07]This is this is where we are. So it's, you know, in what I did in six months to get here, >> you know, if I had gone to work for somebody else, I'd have probably been there for two years.

[00:02:15]>> Yeah.

[00:02:16]>> Before I could even start something like this.

[00:02:17]>> And not even learning the most important part of this process, which is >> the deal.

[00:02:22]>> The deal.

[00:02:23]>> You know what I'm saying? and knowing, hey, does this lot, you know, pin, I notice with a lot of our clients, you know, even if they got some experience in business or real estate, they kind of don't, like you said, you ain't want to take that leap >> without like, I mean, am I buying a lot at the right price? You know what I'm saying? How much is it going to cost to build it? You know what I'm saying?

[00:02:41]Who's going to fund this? You might have knew that, but how am I going to execute, you know, this project? So, I see like a trend with a lot of our clients. You know, they they have had some success, you know what I'm saying?

[00:02:52]and they studied this game, but >> they want to take that leap knowing that somebody >> can come in whenever there's a fire because over this last 6 months, how many fires have there's been?

[00:03:04]>> Oh, man. 25. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, and that's the biggest thing is the deal, right? So, I feel like >> building the home is is not the crazy part. The crazy part is finding the right lot and how you going to build and make money, right? be your lender or investor or a bank or a hard money guy, >> you know, those were the hardest things to figure out. Um, getting the building going and stuff that was manageable, but it's all that front end work that you got to spend a lot of time on.

[00:03:33]>> Yeah.

[00:03:35]>> You execute on the front end.

[00:03:36]>> Yeah.

[00:03:36]>> What they sell on real estate, you make your money on the buy.

[00:03:39]>> Absolutely.

[00:03:40]>> Yeah. That's why, you know, we look at a however many deals we got to look at until one pencil, you know, inside the performer until it makes sense. You know what I'm saying? And uh a good part about this area and you could show them I mean it's a bunch of development you know so you got a bunch of development right across the street got an entire community being built and um even like we was just talking about you know as some of our other clients projects whenever we want to come and develop in a in a neighborhood or could develop in the area we want to make sure that it's designed you know what I'm saying so u you building a house no matter what the price point is uh one of the largest constraints when somebody house shopping is do I want to live there 100%.

[00:04:20]>> You know, some of these people go spend most of their life here or you know a very important part of their life whether they a first-time home buyer or somebody that's just trying to set up for the rest of their life or downsizing or moving uh state to state. They want to make they go determine where they live that live at based off of what's going on around it. You know what I mean? So this site, you know, you got a whole community being built across the street. You got views over there, the countryside. Um, I was able to pick it up at a good price, too, you know.

[00:04:50]>> Really a good price, you know. I think so. I think it was a great price. This this area is up and coming.

[00:04:54]>> Yeah.

[00:04:54]>> You know, 3 years from now, this place is going to be a whole different world because we're only uh nine miles from Broadway from here, >> you know. So, >> you're right there. Right there next to >> right there. We're half a mile from Broadway Parkway. M >> um so it's really really close to the action and it's one of the last kind of untapped areas of Nashville really that that >> Creek about to turn into like the next leap as [ __ ] >> It's about to blow up. Yeah. I mean with some of the development going on with the with the money coming here with a place like Bounty Club being built. You know it's a country club that's $300,000 initiations, right? I mean that's bringing the type of people up in this area. Yeah.

[00:05:31]>> That's going to change this whole area for sure.

[00:05:33]>> I mean you got country club, what's going to follow? multi-million dollar houses. You know what I'm saying? What would you say is like the three like most important things you learned over this build six months?

[00:05:45]>> I mean, the most important thing really is is how to find the land the right way, right? And then also with this bill was, you know, how to find a lot and then do a plan that fits that lot.

[00:05:56]>> So, for instance, if you got a lot that's flat, it gives you a lot of flexibility in the house you build. You got a lot with some slope on it. Okay.

[00:06:04]Foundation is so much money into the build.

[00:06:06]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:06]>> There's so much that's in the foundation. So, what plan do I put on that lot >> that helps me with foundation cost?

[00:06:14]>> Okay. So, the plan >> plan is huge.

[00:06:17]>> Um, honestly, for me, it was plan. It was who the who was I want to put the money together with, right? My investors, huge part of that.

[00:06:25]>> And then third for me really was design person, right? Who's going to be the design person? who's going to help me with the daily of selecting materials, paint colors, fixtures, um because that just takes the weight off of me.

[00:06:39]>> There's a lot of decisions being made over >> I mean, >> it's it's money well worth it to pay someone to do that for you because if you're trying to build and deal with the day-to-day and trying to select >> plumbing fixtures and lighting, oh man, that's just that's a lot. No, I mean I'm I'm happy you said that cuz like again like that's across the board, you know, with our triplem clients that come in, you know, they're like, man, like how do I streamline this process? You know what I mean?

[00:07:06]>> How do I take some decisions out for me and trust somebody else to make these decisions? You know what I'm saying? And that's why we start most importantly is, okay, you need to be able to make the decision on what you buying that lot.

[00:07:17]You know what I'm saying? And then start making decisions on the funding side of it, how you going to get the money. And then when it comes to building the houses, let's lean on some professionals, you know what I mean?

[00:07:25]That you could put in the right position to get this. You know what I'm saying?

[00:07:29]So, let's check these out.

[00:07:31]>> Yeah, let's go check them out.

[00:07:32]>> Yep.

[00:07:33]>> Another big thing with TripleM, too, man, is that when I needed help here, if I had questions, I mean, I could easily call Abram for help. I can easily call, you know, Carter, his project manager, for help.

[00:07:44]>> Just just to have someone to bounce ideas off of, right? Like I may have an idea how I want it to look, but in the real world it may not have made sense to do it that way. Financially, it may not have made sense. So that's a huge bonus to anyone who asks me about this program and why they should do it.

[00:07:59]>> Yeah.

[00:08:00]>> Because you because if you don't have it and you just go out on your own, who who you going to call to help?

[00:08:04]>> These houses be sitting on the market.

[00:08:06]>> Yeah. Now, I talk to people, you might could buy a lot. You could get it funded or build the house and all that feels good until it's time to see how much money coming into your bank account or how much is leaving your bank account when it's time to sell a house. And that's one of the worst things. I've been there before.

[00:08:21]>> You know what I'm saying? It's one of the reasons why TripleM is a thing because I remember having to write a $60,000 check to sell my house >> and ultimately feeling good about it, but it felt terrible. You know what I'm saying? And I thought, how did I get here? You know what I'm saying? So, I looked at, okay, all these missteps I made that now is written down, you know what I'm saying? As part of the process, I could just save other people hundreds of thousands of dollars. You know what I'm saying? By just letting them know, >> go left instead of right or vice versa.

[00:08:52]You know what I mean? So, >> and that's worth the money right there.

[00:08:55]I mean, it really is worth the money, the investment, >> the mistakes. Yeah.

[00:08:58]>> Just to have someone to say, "Hey, I'm thinking about this. What do you think?"

[00:09:01]You can go, "Uh, I've done that before."

[00:09:03]Yeah. And here's why I would or wouldn't do it.

[00:09:05]>> I mean, that one walk whenever you was like, man, this budget getting out of control probably saved you like 15,000 just in that one.

[00:09:12]>> Cutting products, cutting at the end.

[00:09:14]And it's easy. I feel like the budgets >> I feel like budgets are always hard to maintain, right? But at the it's >> there's a lot of things going forward that I'm going to change budget-wise where I know I can spend money on some things >> and then save money on other things, you know? Um >> because at the end of this project, I mean, I've been cutting. I mean, I was like, "Cut, cut, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut."

[00:09:35]>> You can't fall too in love with it.

[00:09:36]>> I know. You can't fall in love with >> No, I find it's always something you gonna be like, "Well, I should have did this or what if I did that."

[00:09:43]>> Do that in your house that you going to move in.

[00:09:45]>> Well, I just told the You told me this and I told these people who showed looked at this house yesterday. They kept saying, >> "Well, be nice if it had a screen in porch. It'd be nice if it had this." And I told them what you told me. You can't get everything for 725.

[00:09:58]>> You can't get everything.

[00:09:59]>> You can't get everything at this price point.

[00:10:01]>> We got to make money. This an investment. You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:03]Now this your custom house. You paying for it. You see what I'm saying?

[00:10:07]>> Yeah.

[00:10:07]>> So now that's dope, bro. So uh how many of them you got on the board now >> since you just started this? You got how many more projects you about to start?

[00:10:15]>> I got six more.

[00:10:16]>> Six more projects you about to start.

[00:10:17]>> Yeah. Two are in the permit process and the other four were finishing up uh architectural drawings.

[00:10:22]>> Yeah. So you would say like from doing no deal to doing this? I'mma It's two houses, but I'm going to consider this one deal.

[00:10:29]>> Right. Right. What would you say is like your experience level from there? How do you feel? You know what I'm saying? The learning curve, how much you learned over just this one deal, >> man. I mean, 100%. I mean, it went from, you know, went from a, you know, a seventh grade knowledge to a college graduate knowledge, right?

[00:10:46]>> And now you got the confidence to get into these deals >> 100%.

[00:10:50]>> And just think about all the money. It's opportunity cost. If you never take that leap to go find the process, get the information, get the confidence to do this and actually execute it, imagine how many deals >> you saw that you passed up on. Just think about how many deals you had the opportunity to buy before you did this.

[00:11:09]>> And now where you at now, you like, "Oh yeah, that's a deal. Oh, that's a deal.

[00:11:13]I'm hopping on this."

[00:11:13]>> In my own neighborhood, I turned down deals and now why did I turn that deal?

[00:11:18]>> You could have made a million dollars.

[00:11:19]>> Oh my gosh, what was I thinking? And I didn't have the confidence to go for it.

[00:11:23]Right. So confidence is everything, right? Knowledge and confidence.

[00:11:26]>> Yeah. And it sound cliche, you know, it's going to cost you. He's either going to cost you right now or is it going to it's going to cost you later.

[00:11:32]>> Yeah.

[00:11:33]>> But at the end of the day, you got to pay the price at a certain point. So anybody watching this, you want to know how to find deals, fund deals, manage them, get to this point. Uh we're having a free class, free training. Uh just comment build on this post. Just join the free training and you can be the next Brian. So let's check this out.

[00:11:51]Maybe maybe a little bit younger.

[00:11:54]>> It don't matter what age you are.

[00:11:56]>> Well, look at this truck, man. Can't hide money with this truck, man.

[00:11:59]>> That thing nice, huh?

[00:12:02]>> You know, when they when we we did the house and the front door guys put this door on. They had a paper they had a a a tape >> hard as [ __ ] to get off.

[00:12:10]>> Couldn't get off. So, I just had this metal strip made. I had to pay 425 for that little metal strip.

[00:12:14]>> Really?

[00:12:15]>> To go over it to cover.

[00:12:16]>> Yeah.

[00:12:17]>> Brian know the price of everything.

[00:12:19]Brian was texting me. Gosh, this is so expensive.

[00:12:22]>> Yeah. Yeah. I keep >> this guy is expensive.

[00:12:23]>> I keep up with the numbers, man. For sure. In my head.

[00:12:27]>> Love this door.

[00:12:28]>> No, this nice.

[00:12:30]>> One thing I want to highlight with our TripleM clients, you know, and no matter where you at, we help them, you know, with subs. We gave them a list of subs to contact that's already vetted because these are the things that, you know, you only know what you know. How to hire the right person to do this job, you know.

[00:12:45]So, man, I like this too.

[00:12:51]>> Man, that backsplash is fight.

[00:12:53]>> Yes. The idea was that this would be more traditional.

[00:12:57]>> It was a bit earlier last time we were in here. Traditional home >> still.

[00:13:00]>> Yeah, they look good. We got those from Ferguson.

[00:13:02]>> Good.

[00:13:03]>> Yeah, you can get like three different sizes, you know, like I got a big one like that in my house throwing my bar.

[00:13:09]>> That's a big one that's black. Um But yeah, so it's that was kind of the game plan, you know. Um I don't like I don't like plugs in the backsplash, but one thing they did that I don't like, they put this light bar.

[00:13:26]They put this bar in right here with the power plugs. What I envision for them doing what's in my house, it goes on the bottom of the cabinet and it's super thin >> and it mounts on the bottom. It's got a light and it's got a plug incorporated.

[00:13:38]>> So in the future, >> those are hidden though. It's so >> cool, don't it? Mhm.

[00:13:43]>> Definitely a different different idea than putting plugs in the >> backsplashes.

[00:13:48]>> That's a way to clean them.

[00:13:49]>> Another thing that hit me, man, these damn these hoods is that in the future before that hood, the cabinet people made this hood, the other one next door, trim guy made, >> but before this even gets put in, man, I'm going to connect this rigid piping and I'm gonna have that thing hanging >> because getting that put in and then getting the piece. I had to get the cabinet guys to make me these trim pieces >> so the so the insert would fit. I mean, it was just that was a lot of headache at the very end, but I'm like, I ain't dealing with that. I'm doing all that in the beginning.

[00:14:18]>> What color is this? The oyster.

[00:14:20]>> Oyster, I think.

[00:14:21]>> Yeah, oyster is great. And that mixture was dark. Here's one thing I I would do for you as well. So, I we did these wood um vent covers. I I love doing these.

[00:14:34]>> So, they stain and your paint guys will stain. They'll paint those. They come white oak, but Jeffco has those in stock. So when they're when they get to put your floors down, you can have them and go just measure the rough opening of your vent >> and go to Jeff and say, "Hey, here's my vent openings." And they'll sell them.

[00:14:49]But then when your floor guys put them in, you'll have them here. Like I had them come back after my punch guy cut them out. Just one more thing to have done early on. My floor, you know, had it finished. The flooring is great, man. You know, this is Zulu flooring. Um the floor we did something a little less expensive. It looks really good and modern for that space, but it's not as thick and solid as this. Um, >> what is this? 916 58 96. That's 38 over there.

[00:15:19]>> Okay, >> that's the end next door.

[00:15:21]>> Yeah.

[00:15:22]>> Um, but um, you know, a couple things we did different like I got on my painters. I'm like, man, like you can see some of the lines where they put the smooth cereal together.

[00:15:32]>> And I told my parents and he wasn't gonna fix them. I said, "Yo, this is supposed to give the this is supposed to give the illusion that this is actually a beam that has some support."

[00:15:43]>> You know, I don't want somebody sitting on the couch going, "Look at these cheap [ __ ] They didn't feel it, you know, and it looks cheap." Most people don't know that this is faux.

[00:15:50]>> They think this is like one whole piece or something.

[00:15:52]>> No, this is three pieces.

[00:15:54]>> Four pieces put together. But you want to give the illusion >> that it actually has some like structural benefit. Especially in the bedroom one that we did. I'm like, man, this looks stupid. There's like a joint right over the head with battle be.

[00:16:06]>> Mhm.

[00:16:07]>> The the stagers are moving the staging over here uh Wednesday.

[00:16:11]>> Okay.

[00:16:12]>> So, that was pretty good. 400 bucks.

[00:16:14]They move everything from this house over to this house.

[00:16:16]>> They're moving it over on Wednesday.

[00:16:19]>> Yeah.

[00:16:19]>> Okay.

[00:16:20]>> So, they said >> staging makes a big difference, bro.

[00:16:22]>> Yeah. Wait till we get the next door.

[00:16:23]Staging is everything.

[00:16:25]>> Yeah. Huge difference. I like the door colors in here, too.

[00:16:30]>> Yeah. That was accessible. Little set little subtle things though, you know, 8ft doors makes a difference versus 6t doors.

[00:16:37]>> Yeah, 8ft doors is key. Yeah.

[00:16:38]>> Yeah.

[00:16:39]>> Vaulted ceilings in your primary.

[00:16:43]>> Yeah.

[00:16:44]>> Custom closets.

[00:16:46]You did a tub shower combo.

[00:16:55]>> Brian did a good job on this. Another thing I want to highlight, you know, is being part of the TripleM. Um, a lot of our clients, a lot of our students, they bounce ideas off each other, you know.

[00:17:05]So, Maron is here getting, you know, the opportunity to check out a completed project while he's in his project talking to Brian about that. Um, we have our workshops that's in person. So whenever uh we bring our clients from all around the United States here, we also show them my builds. We show them some of our clients builds and they get to ask questions. They get to meet the subs and they get to see, touch, feel, and really see what goes on on site with these projects. This is a million-doll plus project, you know, so very important to know what you're getting yourself into. Did you figure out >> I had that house I showed that house to somebody and I showed this house to somebody else and everybody's like how much it cost to get rid of that carpet the better upstairs.

[00:17:52]>> Oh god. I ain't never want >> I never put carpet in the house.

[00:17:55]>> So in the future I'm not doing any more carpet cuz nobody wants carpet in the house.

[00:18:00]>> Oh >> yeah.

[00:18:03]>> Good little feature right here too so it don't hit the heavy doors.

[00:18:06]>> Mhm.

[00:18:07]>> Yeah. So, everyone's already asking like I had two people ask in both houses. How much to remove all the carpet?

[00:18:12]>> This grand entry, too. Bro, >> it looks good, doesn't it? 30.

[00:18:16]>> This a seller. 30 foot.

[00:18:17]>> 30 foot. Yeah, but I already had two people be like, "Oh, can we get rid of that carpet?"

[00:18:23]>> I'm like, "We sure can. You write me an offer. I'll rip that carpet out tomorrow."

[00:18:27]>> Easy. Big closets, man. Look at the big closets. I did big walk-ins. Um, you remember that? We got remember early on >> there was a little bump out right here with a closet.

[00:18:38]>> Yeah.

[00:18:39]>> And we're like why are we going to do that? We got all this space in here.

[00:18:42]>> Yeah.

[00:18:43]>> Make that larger. Then you got storage, bro.

[00:18:46]>> Big storage area.

[00:18:47]>> Storage space is like that's a seller.

[00:18:50]>> Yeah, I agree.

[00:18:51]>> People love storage space. And you got a light in here, too.

[00:18:55]>> Yeah. Big storage area.

[00:18:57]>> Sprayed the roof. Yes, sir.

[00:19:01]All right. So, let's check out the staged unit that's sold.

[00:19:05]>> Staging defin I mean >> Oh, man. It's the best $200 I spent.

[00:19:09]>> Yeah, >> I think that's one.

[00:19:11]>> I mean, the data on that is crazy. Like staging houses um statistics versus houses that's not staged, you know, as far as selling.

[00:19:24]Here's why staging is so important is because everyone who came through here said I can't get a full bedroom. I can't get a bedroom in that bathroom. But if you go in there now, you can see you could get a you can easily get >> it's a double like a full or a doubleiz bed in there easily.

[00:19:48]>> You know, functional.

[00:19:49]>> Still functional.

[00:19:51]>> Yeah. But if you didn't, the people when they see it end, they're like, "Oh, I can't get a bed. I can't get a bed in that."

[00:19:55]>> Staging makes a huge difference.

[00:19:59]>> Staging makes a huge difference.

[00:20:01]>> I think that's why this one sold so fast. To be honest with you, >> it make a huge difference.

[00:20:05]>> Yeah. 20 and they did a great job. The stagers did, too. I mean, they did a killer job.

[00:20:17]>> Yeah, >> it wasn't finished like a month ago.

[00:20:20]>> Stage probably maybe 10 days I had it staged. And then my girl who I used to do all this work, she did she came at the very end and did this and did the and did the hood.
