Strap in—this week on Off Market Mindset, host Michael Riordan sits down with military‐vet‐turned‐real estate powerhouse Shawn McArthur. Shawn’s journey starts with his very first flip—a meth house renovation completed while he was still on active duty in the Army—and rockets through a breakout career selling 30 homes in his first six months as an agent (53 that first year, 55 the next) before diving full-throttle into fix & flips and multifamily investing.

You’ll hear how Shawn:

Leverages dual expertise as both a licensed REALTOR® and an investor to craft smarter solutions for sellers and clients.

Built a cash‐offer & creative‐finance engine off team‐driven inbound leads—no paid ads required.

Set his “Mount Everest” goal: helping 50,000 real estate agents get into investing within five years.

Overcame massive mistakes—including a contractor partnership that cost him over $60K in holding costs and hard lessons on vetting collaborators.

Champions community & mentorship as the ultimate shortcut to success, closing the experience gap by years when you learn from others.

What You’ll Learn

How to integrate creative financing strategies (subject‐to, seller-carry, cash offers) into your agent toolkit to serve clients in tight equity or foreclosure scenarios.

The mindset shift from “sales scripts” to relationship-first selling—why authenticity wins over fancy frameworks.

Real-world budgeting & project management tips to avoid expensive rehab overruns.

The power of paying forward your knowledge—and why teaching agents to invest is a win-win for clients, teams, and your bottom line.

Whether you’re a part-time agent craving faster paydays or a seasoned investor scaling multifamily deals, Shawn’s hard-earned insights will give you fresh tools and the motivation to take imperfect action.
