Currently, the majority of his business involves acquisitions that he does himself. He also has an acquisitions person and a full-time videographer. It’s a low-key, small operation, but it has a high intention, and they go aggressively after deals. “You know, I spend my time and effort and energy to do this business to provide for my family, not only money but years of my life, getting this up and going to have it, work is worth, the journey is not in vain.” From Beau’s Carrot leads, his average profit per deal is nearly $40,000.
