At 19 years old, Austin Pertl is closing four wholesale deals per month after dropping out of high school and going all-in on real estate.

He shares the sales mindset that sets him apart, what he’d do differently if he started over, and the simple approach that helped him turn early struggles into steady contracts. If you’re trying to get your first deal or scale beyond one or two per month, this episode shows what consistent wholesaling actually looks like.
