She bought a “disgusting” house five blocks from home and turned it into proof that the leap was worth it. Kristen is a single mom from Iowa who quit her job, went all in on house flipping, and just closed her second flip, and the numbers are real: a $100,000 purchase, a renovation that crept over $100,000, a $258,000 sale, and a $39,550 net profit after everyone gets paid back.

We walk through how she found the deal off market through a wholesaler connection, why finishing the attic into a true primary suite created the big value jump, and how she sanity-checked bids with a trusted real estate agent team that also flips. You’ll hear the practical side of renovation planning, including what happens when the budget changes for good reasons like replacing 12 windows and dealing with lead paint the right way. We also talk contractor management, what she learned from a first flip without a signed contract, and how she’s dialing in her “dream team” one project at a time.

Funding is a major thread here, especially for new real estate investors. Kristen explains using a hard money lender for purchase and rehab up to 75% ARV, then realizing how brutal high interest rates can be on your bottom line. The conversation shifts into private money and promissory notes, and how one small $10,000 investment relationship can grow into repeat capital from people who want a safer, real-asset alternative to low-rate bank products.

If you’re wrestling with imposter syndrome, fear, or the pressure to “get a real job,” this one hits home. Subscribe, share this with a woman who needs a push, and leave a review so more future flippers can find these stories.

A flip can humble you fast. One day you’re excited, picturing the before-and-after and the profit. The next, you’re months behind, scrambling for contractors, second-guessing every decision, and wondering how you’ll ever get the project across the finish line. That’s where Kathy starts, and it’s why her story matters for anyone who wants to flip houses but feels scared, stuck, or alone.

We sit down with Kathy right after she joins the Flip Sisters community, not years later with a perfect highlight reel. She shares what it’s like to be a newer member who already has battle scars from a renovation that dragged on for a full year. We talk about the moment she stopped trying to muscle through everything solo, how the program’s structure and coaching help her make clearer calls, and why building the right team first lenders, agents, contractors, and vendors changes everything for a fix and flip.

You’ll also hear the surprising piece many real estate investors ignore until it hurts: mindset. Kathy explains how daily practices like gratitude, goals, and knowing your why build real confidence, especially when you need to make uncomfortable calls or accept feedback. We get into practical, real-world examples too, like adjusting design choices for the market, deciding when a DIY project is worth it, and learning to think like the CEO who protects time, budget, and energy.

If you’re on the fence about your first flip or your next one, press play and borrow Kathy’s clarity: you don’t have to do this alone, but you do have to do the work.

Sarah Explains How She Funded And Finished Flip Two

Sarah closed in December and had the house listed just months later, even with Massachusetts snow, septic work, and a life that did not slow down. We’re hanging out with our student Sarah, who joined us in 2025 and has already completed two full house flips, and she’s opening the books on flip number two with the kind of detail real estate investors actually need.

We talk through how she found the deal through a wholesaler, what it felt like walking an estate property with the owner’s family right behind her, and why relationships can be the hidden advantage that gets you access to opportunities. Sarah also breaks down fix and flip financing in plain language, including using a hard money lender for the bulk of the project and bringing in a private lender who reached out after watching her first flip. If you’ve been googling “how to fund a house flip” or “private money for real estate,” you’ll hear exactly how that connection happened and why visibility matters.

On the rehab side, we get into renovation budget planning, a Title V inspection, septic tank replacement, filling in a pool, and how she managed multiple subcontractors while acting as her own GC. She shares what she upgraded (kitchen, bath, hardwoods, basement), what she skipped (most windows, exterior paint), and what she’d budget differently next time. Then we lay out the numbers: a $210K purchase, about $60K in renovations, a $339K list price, and a projected 15% to 16% profit with fast showings and an early offer.

One brave decision is the line between “someday” and your first house flip, and it rarely feels calm in the moment. Coach Blair sits down with Coach Elizabeth to share what it actually looks like to step into real estate investing as a woman, especially when you’re staring at a property and thinking, am I really ready for this?

We talk about Elizabeth’s first flip and the unexpected win that comes with it: learning to trust yourself. That confidence gets built in the unglamorous places, picking a scope, deciding what to delegate, and staying grounded when the next decision shows up. If you’ve been stuck in analysis paralysis, we get practical about how to stop obsessing over what doesn’t matter and start relying on what does: comps, a realistic rehab budget, and a process you can repeat.

Profit comes up too, because money is a real goal, not a guilty secret. Elizabeth shares how a smart pivot turned a project into an ongoing hold, using midterm rental and short-term rental strategy to keep the deal producing long after the renovation. We also dig into why women often have an edge in a male-dominated industry, from relationship-building and intuition to the detail-oriented thinking that keeps projects cohesive and crews aligned.

To wrap, we have some fun with design trends and each of our “non-negotiable” renovation hills, plus how to make a flip feel warm, cohesive, and market-ready without chasing every Pinterest idea.

You’ve seen the headlines, watched interest rates rise, and heard plenty of people say house flipping is “over.” We don’t buy that, and we’ll tell you why. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to settle down, this conversation is a reality check and a roadmap for how disciplined investors still profit in today’s real estate market.

We break down five specific shifts that make this a surprisingly strategic time to start a fix and flip business. Competition has thinned out in many areas, which can mean fewer bidding wars, more negotiable sellers, and better chances to protect your profit margins. Buyers still need homes, but they’re more selective now, which puts a premium on move-in ready finishes, functional layouts, and smart renovation choices that solve real problems. We also talk about how normalized markets bring back flexibility: seller concessions, longer closing timelines, real due diligence, and creative financing paths like owner financing, subject-to strategies, and assumable loans when they truly fit the deal.

Then we get into the unglamorous part that can make you money: contractors. When trades are more available and timelines tighten up, your holding costs and stress can drop fast. Finally, we call out the biggest shift of all: the emotional barrier is lower, but the strategic bar is higher. This market doesn’t reward guessing, it rewards underwriting, a realistic rehab budget, a conservative ARV, and clear exit strategies.

Fear shows up fast when you decide to flip your first house. We sat down with our mindset coach, Shari Jo, to dig into the real engine behind every successful project: the stories you tell yourself and the words you speak out loud. From “I can’t” and “I’m not ready” to “I’m learning this,” we break down how language shapes action, how facts calm spirals, and why confidence is a practice you build, not a personality you’re born with.

Together, we explore the common hurdles women face in a male-skewed industry—fear of the numbers, tech overwhelm, perfectionism, and the pressure to do it all without help. Sherry shows how to reframe labels we’ve carried since childhood, assign new feelings to old narratives, and turn “too much” into a strategic advantage. You’ll hear real moments from the field: lenders who say no, bids that wobble, plumbing that fails, and the exact self-talk and routines that keep you moving when your brain wants to retreat. We also cover momentum after a big win, and why stacking marketing, outreach, and underwriting during a flip prevents the painful start-stop cycle.

You’ll leave with a simple daily habit—change the words out loud, in the moment—that rewires your focus and builds resilience. Add pre-play over replay to plan better conversations and smarter decisions, and use a win-or-learn frame to turn setbacks into data. If you’re ready to flip a house and grow into the version of you who leads projects with clarity, this conversation gives you tools you can use today.

The deal looked simple on paper: a compact ranch, clear comps, and a solid off-market price. Then came the real education. Jessica walks us through the flip that became a gauntlet—permits, a surprise roof, a jackhammered slab, busted drains, a GC who vanished at key moments, and a mechanic’s lien arriving right before closing. She didn’t just survive; she learned how to be a kinder, stronger CEO who leads with facts, protects cash flow, and finishes anyway.

We pull apart the money stack she used—hard money plus a private lender—and how draw schedules can strangle a project when milestones stall. You’ll hear the honest math behind scope creep, especially when a second bathroom doesn’t match what the comps reward. Jessica shares how she sourced materials from auctions and clearance aisles, staged the house to sparkle, and priced for velocity. Multiple offers landed within 24 hours, and even closing-day chaos got resolved through steady negotiation and documented lien waivers.

The story doesn’t end at the sale. After the emotional hangover, Jessica engineered a live-in flip with family capital, aligning a fair equity split with a rising Lafayette market. That move restored stability and opened a better path. Then she earned her real estate license, blending investor instincts with client service to create faster, steadier income while staying in the arena. If you care about resilient investing, contractor management, and turning setbacks into systems, this conversation delivers practical, hard-won tactics you can use on your next flip—or your first.

From Teacher To Six-Figure Flips

A pocket listing on Lookout Mountain, a seller who needed time, and a 5,700-square-foot question: can we really pull this off? We brought back Diana to unpack the full journey—how she and her husband stitched together hard money, private loans, and family funds to acquire, renovate, and sell a luxury flip that demanded both creativity and resilience.

We start with the terms that opened the door: longer closings that honored the seller’s needs and gave them space to finish two ongoing projects. From there, the capital stack grew: a hard money loan for speed, private lenders for flexibility, and family support with clear boundaries and written agreements. Diana shares how raising capital snowballs when you communicate publicly, educate lenders about self-directed IRAs, and treat relationships like professional partnerships.

Inside the renovation, the plan shifted from a tidy budget to a full-scale transformation. They removed a failing addition, finished a massive attic for functional living space, respected the home’s formal layout, and invested in an outdoor experience—fencing, native landscaping, and a tasteful privacy wall—that matched family buyers’ needs. Along the way, a designer relationship went sideways with inflated bids and thin deliverables. The fix: reclaim scope, put it in writing, and use an hourly stager for sharp, budget-aligned finish decisions.

Selling brought its own lessons. An early $1.85M offer was declined in favor of a higher list, but time and carrying costs pressed hard. After addressing inspection hits—crawlspace humidity, cupped hardwoods—and swatting down a last-minute insurance objection with a fast quote, they closed at $1.75M cash and walked with roughly $200K. The honest reflection: they might have netted more by accepting that first offer, but the profit funded new ventures and sharpened their playbook.

If you care about real numbers, real negotiation, and the unglamorous decisions that make or break a luxury flip, this conversation will meet you where you are. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s eyeing a big project, and leave a review with the one lesson you’ll use on your next deal.

What if the fastest path to your next profitable flip isn’t a bank at all—but an asset-based loan that closes in days, not weeks? We sit down with Susie from Rehab Wallet to demystify hard money lending for fix-and-flip investors and show why speed, structure, and clear math can beat sticker-rate anxiety. From no-credit underwriting to next-day draws, we walk through a funding model built by investors who understand real timelines, real budgets, and real-world hiccups.

We start by separating myths from mechanics: how hard money compares to banks and private lenders, why higher annual rates can still be smarter on a six-month timeline, and how no prepayment penalties plus quick closings can translate to better offers and bigger spreads. Then we dig into the numbers that matter—ARV built on true comps, the 65/70% rules that anchor your max offer, and the down payment and LTV ranges that keep risk in check. Susie shares candid examples of deals saved by accurate comps—and deals stopped when “wishful ARVs” didn’t hold up.

Execution is where profit lives. You’ll hear how to line up a general contractor before you write offers, build a scoped budget that won’t blow up mid-project, and use a photo-based draw app to pay crews the next business day so you don’t lose labor to other jobs. New investors learn how to present a fundable deal—team, comps, scope, and exit plan—and what it takes to “graduate” into better terms and multiple concurrent projects. We also cover practical negotiation leverage with 7–10 business day closings and why having a reliable hard money partner can win you deals when private money falls through.

From Flip to Flow: How Midterm Rentals Doubled Cash Flow and Cut Headaches

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0500

What if your most profitable rentals aren’t beachfront bungalows or urban lofts—but clean, furnished homes in “ordinary” cities serving people who come to town to work? We sit down with Stacy, a self-managed investor in Cedar Rapids, to unpack how midterm rentals can out-earn long-term and out-calm short-term, all while serving a steady stream of traveling professionals, construction crews, insurers, and families between homes.

Stacy shares the exact moves that scaled her portfolio: buying multiple properties in a focused sprint, renovating like a flip to kill maintenance headaches, and setting simple, tenant-friendly standards—fast Wi‑Fi, utilities included, monthly light cleanings, and durable furnishings sourced from estate sales. We dig into pricing MTRs at 1.5x–2x long-term rents, when to put TVs in bedrooms, and why thoughtful touches preserve linens and reduce turn costs. She also explains the less-talked-about pitfalls, like the insurance gap for under‑31‑day stays, and how to protect yourself without doubling your premiums.

The engine behind consistent bookings is smart lead generation. Stacy registers with relocation firms, responds in minutes to Furnished Finder requests, markets to realtors for bridge housing, and taps union halls and Facebook groups to reach crews before they arrive. One lease was signed in 15 minutes with ID verification and digital signatures, a glimpse into how speed and simple systems win. We close with creative scaling—ADUs, basement conversions, multi-unit setups on a single mortgage—and a mindset shift: treat it like a business, tell everyone what you do, and solve problems with heart.

If you’re ready to build calmer cash flow without chasing nightly reviews, this conversation is your blueprint for midterm rentals that work in real markets, not just vacation hotspots.

A Mother of Three Turns Her Passion for Homes into a Successful Flip Business

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 09:00:00 -0500

What happens when a busy working mom of three decides to pursue her longtime passion for transforming homes? Ee's remarkable journey from complete beginner to successful house flipper proves that with determination, community support, and the right mindset, anyone can make their real estate dreams a reality.

After joining the Flip Sisters community on what she jokingly called a potentially foolish April 1st, Ee faced months of rejected offers in her expensive Portland market. Rather than give up, she pivoted – expanding her search to Cincinnati, Ohio where she secured her first deal within just one month. Managing a flip remotely might sound intimidating, but Ee built a reliable team on the ground, creating a partnership based on trust and communication that allowed her to successfully navigate the entire process from thousands of miles away.

Despite encountering unexpected challenges during the buyer's inspection, Ee maintained her composure and problem-solving approach. She purchased the property for $93,000, completed renovations just under her $57,000 budget, and sold it for $200,000 – walking away with a $20,000 profit on her very first flip. Even more fulfilling was knowing she'd provided a growing family with their perfect home, aligning perfectly with her deeper motivation for entering real estate.

Ee's story resonates because it's honest about both the obstacles and triumphs of house flipping. She openly shares her moments of fear and self-doubt, revealing how self-talk, community support, and focusing on her "why" helped her develop the resilience needed to succeed. For anyone wondering if they have what it takes to flip houses while balancing other responsibilities, Ee's journey offers a resounding yes – you absolutely can.

From Sidelines to Success: Kanani shares her experiences becoming a Private Money Lender

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 09:00:00 -0500

Money shouldn't be what holds you back from flipping houses. That's the powerful message at the heart of this enlightening conversation between Blaire, a Flip Sisters coach, and Kanani, a successful private money lender within the community.

When most people think of private lenders, they imagine wealthy investors with millions at their disposal. Kanani shatters this misconception, revealing how she transformed approximately $300,000 in retirement funds from previous employers into a self-directed IRA specifically for real estate investing. Without touching her family's day-to-day finances or disrupting her fulfilling career, she's funded six house flips across four different states, creating win-win scenarios for both herself and the flippers she partners with.

The conversation takes us through Kanani's journey from retirement account consolidation to her first lending experience during the hectic holiday season. With refreshing honesty, she shares the initial uncertainties, documentation challenges, and relationship-building process that eventually led to multiple successful investments. Particularly illuminating is her explanation of cross-collateralization and how she secures her investments against physical property—a key advantage real estate offers over more speculative investments.

What makes this episode especially valuable is the dual perspective it offers. For those hesitant about house flipping due to financial constraints, it showcases how private money lending makes deals possible. For those with retirement funds seeking better returns than traditional investments, it demonstrates how to put that "monopoly money" to work years before retirement age. The returns? Typically 10-14%, substantially outperforming standard retirement accounts.

Perhaps most powerful is Kanani's candid reflection on investing in herself despite initial skepticism from her spouse. "I wanted to invest in ME," she explains, highlighting how her real estate education has benefited not just her financial future but created opportunities to teach her children about wealth-building while providing tangible benefits for extended family.

Ready to explore how private money lending could transform your house flipping journey or investment strategy? This episode provides the roadmap and inspiration to take that crucial first step.

From Hesitation to House Flip - Briana's $38,000 First Flip Journey

Ever caught yourself driving past a run-down house thinking, "Someone should fix that up"? That's exactly where Brianna Sisk's journey began before she turned that fleeting thought into a $38,471 profit on her very first house flip.

From X-ray technician to midwife-in-training to full-time house flipper and stay-at-home mom, Brianna's story captivates because it's rooted in a challenge we all face: getting out of our own way. For months, she hesitated to announce her new venture, trapped by what others might think in her small Tennessee town. The transformation came when she finally took the leap—within just three days of going public on social media, she had her first potential property.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the detailed breakdown of real numbers and practical solutions. Brianna shares exactly how she purchased a 112-year-old house for $70,000, navigated a full gut renovation despite busted pipes and contractor hiccups, and ultimately sold the property for $225,000 after just seven days on market. Her creative financing approach combining hard money lending with a home equity line of credit offers a blueprint for listeners facing similar funding challenges.

Beyond the impressive profit margins lies the more profound message about trusting yourself and finding community. As Brianna emotionally reflects, "I could not have done this without you ladies... any doubts or issues I had, it was so easy to reach out and I had a whole team just right there giving me answers, giving me encouragement."

Ready to stop being your own stumbling block? This conversation between Coach Sis and Brianna delivers both the tactical tools and the emotional permission slip you need to take that first step. Whether you're considering your first flip or your fiftieth, their candid discussion about scheduling subcontractors, managing timelines, and overcoming imposter syndrome will leave you inspired to turn those "someone should" thoughts into "I will" actions.

9 Weeks to a 20k Florida First Flip Profit While Juggling Job & Kids!

Wed, 17 May 2023 17:00:00 -0500

Our awesome FlipSister Coaching Program member Laurie in Florida recently completed her first flip... and is already under contract to purchase number 4!

After 23 years in the military, she retired and now has a civilian job.

She also has 3 kids aged 7-9.

So, yeah, she's super busy! And still she created time for this business.

Because she knew that each time she sold another property, it would mean another 5-figure payday.

Using just $3,000 of her own money, she turned a profit of $20,000. That's nearly a 600% ROI for my fellow data nerds.

The rest of the nearly $200k she needed for the purchase, renovations, closing and carrying costs, she borrowed from a hard money lender and a private money lender she was connected to through our FlipSisters community.

Tune in to hear all about:

How she found the deal (and her second one)
The issues leading up to closing and how she handled them, including:
- Her initial lender backing out
- The HOA was not responding
- Discovering the condo was non-warrantable
- A surprise $800 assessment
Her biggest lessons learned
Her advice to people who say they don't have the time

Regardless of the end-use of the property, always buy something you can add value to. If you're going to live in it, sell it within the next few months or hold it as a rental, if you're not buying properties you can add value to you're wasting a prime opportunity to build your wealth.

Stepping Scared: Carol's Journey from Terrified to 6 House Flips in One Year

Another success story from our FlipSisters Coaching Program!

Carol in Mississippi was so scared when she joined us last year. She was terrified she'd get stuck with a house nobody wanted.

I hear this concern often. And it's why we always have backup plans and alternative exit strategies laid out BEFORE going into a flip.

There are so many ways to protect yourself in a deal. Going into any business blindly is a surefire way to lose money and make costly mistakes.

Acknowledge there are many things you do not know and get an education.

Cindy Tackled Over a Year of Hurdles and Title Issues to Make $42k on Her First Flip

I'm excited to share our FlipSister Cindy's first flip journey. It was a doozy!

Cindy had purchased her first flip prior to joining our coaching program. And shortly after she joined she told me she was going through a title issue on this property.

She was in the middle of flipping it and some heirs came along saying that they had a right to this house and they hadn't been paid at closing.

Cindy ended up in litigation for over a year. I've been there, so I understood what she had ahead of her and what she'd be feeling along the way.

She recently sold that house and got out of that mess, and is here to share her story.

And guess what? She's not letting this experience get in her way, and she's going to keep on flipping houses!

I relate to her story on so many levels. It's hard to get knocked down, and then get back up and go do that thing again, without second-guessing every move along the way.

And yet, we do it.

Among many others, one of the morals of the story here is never ever skip buying title insurance. By not purchasing title insurance, you're potentially setting yourself up for massive loss. There are so many ways you can mitigate your risk when running your house flipping business and buying proper insurance is foundational.

Fri, 20 Aug 2021 13:00:00 -0500

In this episode, our FlipSister member Rebecca in California shares her first flip journey with us.

A 4-Day First Flip Equals a $25,000 Profit for Shannon

Wed, 19 May 2021 13:00:00 -0500

You read it right! Brand new investor and one of our awesome coaching program FlipSisters Shannon in Savannah, Georgia bought TWO flips within just a few days of each other.

While she's just about to put her first purchase which was a full renovation on the market, she decided her second purchase would work best as a wholetail deal. And as the CEO of her house flipping business, she gets to decide things like that!

She spent less than $3,000 to clean it up and had it back on the market in 4 days. It was sold and closed a month later. So, her second purchase was her first sale. And that's the one we're talking about in this episode!

Questions we'll answer include:

How did she find the deal?
How did she finance the deal?
How did she know to do a wholetail?
What the heck is a wholetail?
What were the numbers: purchase price, repairs, timeline, sale price and profit?
When did Shannon realize "enough is enough" and finally decide to jump in with both feet?

68k Profit in 2.5 Months Using None of Her Own Money With Elizabeth

Thu, 13 May 2021 12:00:00 -0500

You must listen to this story of one of our FlipSisters! Massage therapist Elizabeth in Nashville is in our coaching program and just flipped her first house in 2.5 months, made a $68,000 profit, and did so WITHOUT using any of her own cash.

I've said it time and again, you can flip houses with none or very little of your own cash, IF YOU WANT TO.

Look, if you want to use your own cash, great, go for it!

I'm a huge proponent of: You do you. Do whatever you need to do to go do the damn thing. That's different for everyone. Trust yourself.

But, if you DON'T want to use your own cash, you don't have to. It's how I got started flipping houses 13 years ago and how I've been doing it since.

Two of the many things we teach our FlipSisters are creative buying strategies and creative financing strategies.

On top of that, many members of our amazing community also invest in each other's projects regularly, including myself!

Small Town Flipping Domination With Wendy

Thu, 29 Apr 2021 12:00:00 -0500

Wendy and her wife, Syndee, have purchased (or are in the process of purchasing) 8 flip properties since joining our coaching program last July! This includes a commercial property!

Some common excuses I hear from women as to why they can't do this house flipping thing they want to do so badly:

"My town is too small to do this in, Debbie!"
"My city is too big to do this in, Debbie!"

Many of us will tell ourselves excuses such as these. Excuses help us feel better about being on the sideline and not really chasing our dream.

And yet there is loads of evidence all around us in all sizes of markets of people successfully buying, renovating and selling houses.

Psst... it has nothing to do with the size of your town, city, metroplex, etc.

Excuses are reasons we give ourselves to stay comfortable. If we have excuses and reasons as to why this won't work, then we don't have to get uncomfortable, and we don't have to go do the things that make us feel vulnerable.

In other words, we can avoid the scary things. And stay in our little bubble where we know what to expect and it's full of certainty.

Hard pass.

I'll take Wendy's route and make things happen!

How Tammy Problem Solved Her Way Through Her First Flip

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 16:00:00 -0600

We get many beginners who join our program and I LOVE working with them! We do some important work together as we help them build their self-trust.

Beginners tend to go dark when they think about all the bad things that could possibly happen. Our imaginations can really go wild here! What if, what if, what if?

Here's a secret: things will absolutely go wrong. Problems will absolutely arise. Hurdles will absolutely appear. Know these things will come up.

And prepare yourself to solve the problems. Get your support team rallying around you. Don't have one? GET ONE :-)

Here's just a hint of the things that came up on Tammy's first flip:

Appraisal issues
Survey issues
Weather delays
Closing delays
All. The. Things.

And she STILL made a profit and is actively looking for her next flip. And by actively, I mean going out and doing the things most people won't do because their fear is bigger than their desire to do the darn thing.

Wholetail vs. Cosmetic Flip vs. Full Rehab

Thu, 23 Jul 2020 04:00:00 -0500

Once you get a property under contract there are several ways you can go with it, depending on that specific property and the market.

You can wholesale it, which means you never actually take ownership of it. You're basically assigning that contract to another investor who will do whatever she wants with it. Now, if you're doing a double closing, then you are sitting on title for split second between each closing. That's not for the conversation, though. (Check out that episode here https://www.buzzsprout.com/484195/1956532)

-- Why it's dangerous for your mindset and your business to put too much weight on any prediction anyone gives! The key is to run a nimble business that quickly responds to the actual things that happen, not the "these may happen" things.

-- The real reasons people try to "time the market" even though it's impossible.

2 Things to Do RIGHT NOW to Secure Your House Flipping Future

Wed, 01 Apr 2020 04:00:00 -0500

There are 2 things you need to do right now to secure your house flipping business and it does not involve jumping into another investment strategy altogether. Have you seen what's happening in those others? NO investing strategy is 100% safe; that's the nature of investing.

Based on emails I'm receiving, many of the REI gurus are feeding into people's fears during this sensitive time to instill doubt in us - wanting us to second-guess ourselves, our dreams, our entire investing strategy...

Oh, and also wanting us to buy their needless widget and "make a fortune from the comfort of your home".

Sadly, a lot of people will buy that widget and NONE of them will make a fortune from it.

Anyway, my business was born in the midst of the worst housing crisis in U.S. history.

The 2 steps I'm sharing here are exactly the ones I'm taking to secure my house flipping future.

Flipping Houses Into Longterm Rentals With Mei

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 04:00:00 -0600

Mei and her husband recently jumped into the business of flipping houses into longterm rentals. Many of you have heard the strategy to buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat, or BRRRR.

It's a great strategy to include in your investing, and if done correctly should net you some positive monthly cashflow. Plus, you can usually get a lot (if not all) of the rehab cost back out of the property when you refinance.

While flipping houses brings you those big profit paydays, flipping houses into longterm rentals adds some monthly cashflow and/or equity appreciation. Combine the two strategies and you've got the best of both worlds.

Flipping Houses with a Partner

If you've listened to me long enough, you've likely heard me say the goal of the first flip is to do it in a way that makes you want to do a second one. That definition is different for everyone, and only you can define it for yourself. Sometimes when you're getting started, you may not have as much time as you have money or as much money as you have time. When this is the case, I often recommend partnering with someone who has what you don't.

13 House Flipping Mistakes to Avoid

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I'm uncovering the top 13 mistakes I see house flippers making, seasoned and newbies alike.

So many women I talk to who have this big dream of flipping houses for a living also have a lot of different fears around doing so. Most of those fears come from the "advice" or negative opinions they hear from people who aren't actually even out there flipping houses successfully.

Flipping houses can absolutely result in time freedom, energy freedom, financial security, and a life you love! It can also cause you to lose money, especially if you just decide to go all “willy nilly” and figure things out as you go.

You’ve got to have plans and processes in place in order to control the things you can actually control in a flip.

And if something out of the ordinary comes up, you better know who you’re going to for help before you actually need it.

My goal for a student's first flip is for her to do it in a way that makes her want to do another one, and another one, and so on. My goal for you would obviously be the same!

In other words, to do it in a way that:

Minimizes your risks
Maximizes your profits
Doesn't add unnecessary stress to your life
Feeds your passion for houses and creating
Brings you a whole lot of joy chasing the thing that lights YOU up

By avoiding the mistakes I discuss in this episode, I wholeheartedly believe that you will check off all of those items.

Be smart. Make good choices. And don’t listen to people’s opinions unless they’re actually out there successfully flipping houses!

If you would please, leave a rating and review wherever you listen to podcasts. It will help me reach more like-minded women such as yourself. And if I can instill in one more person the belief that she absolutely can make a great living and have a fantastic life following her dream of flipping houses, then that's my goal.
