223: How to Lose Money by Not Knowing Your Numbers with Joe McCall

Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas August 3, 2020 Duration: 50:34

Joe McCall has been investing in real estate full-time for over 11 years. His background and education was in Civil Engineering. Before he started working on his real estate investing business full-time, he had worked for several large engineering & construction companies, building power plants all around the country.  

As soon as Joe figured out the three keys to success in real estate investing (Marketing, Automation, and Delegation), and started implementing his unique systems for wholesaling and lease option deals, within 3 months, his part-time income surpassed his full-time income, and he left his job.

Joe only works a few hours a week on the "deals" side of his business, while his virtual team consistently flips several deals a month – all for him, in spite of him.  

Joe is an expert at flipping properties remotely. In the last several years, Joe has spent many months in Prague, Czech Republic, and 3 months traveling the northwestern part of the US in an RV, with his wife and four kids. While he traveled, he was still able to flip deals in 4 different markets.


Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
