7 Figure Flipping

Most people think real estate is all numbers and spreadsheets. Buy low. Sell high. Track your KPIs. That stuff matters.  But that’s not what keeps your business alive. Dr. Sheri and I break down the actual numbers and edge behind a $2M flipping business. It’s how you lead better and survive even when the market takes a dip. Predictable deal flow is a non-negotiable. And there are 2 off-market...

You ever hear someone say, “It takes money to make money” ? That’s half true. It takes access to money. And that’s what most people just don’t have. Ari Page and his company, Fund&Grow have helped investors unlock over $2 billion in 0% business credit. Yeah… billion, with a “B.” We talked about how to use business credit to fund flips and rentals without relying on banks or other lenders. Most...

We’ve talked with over 3,000 investors since 2019. Most get stuck chasing deals instead of building systems. They think success is about putting in more hours than anyone else. But that’s not what took me from $100K to $5M in annual revenue. Dave Morse (our COO at 7 Figure Flipping) sat me down and grilled me with the most frequently asked questions I get from real estate investors. Like, how to f...

Most flippers think that if their credit score drops below 700, they’re already disqualified for funding. Brianna Wenrich from Kaydem Credit will help me destroy this myth once and for all. She breaks down what she calls the “magic credit numbers.” Plus, how to dispute, rebuild, and protect your credit using the same methods that have helped investors jump 40–50 points in just months.  (Even...

Most investors want success, but few are willing to suffer for it. James Lascara, a former Navy SEAL turned 8-figure real estate investor, built his empire through discipline, leadership, and relentless execution.  He’s done triple-digit transactions, developed 50+ units in Tampa this year and built a $10M portfolio! We talked about what that mindset looks like in business… And why real succe...

Most investors think scaling means doing more. Bobby Triplett thinks differently. He runs the renovation arm for OfferPad. They’ve done 40,000+ renovations nationwide in the last 9 years. We’re talking about what it looks like to manage hundreds of projects at once… Why chasing "under budget" cost him $12,000… How pictures from contractors lie… And how they scaled to 400–600 houses a month with W-...

Most people think they need to bring a big chunk of their own cash to the table to fund a flip or buy a rental. It's just not true. There are lenders out there who will cover 100% of the purchase + rehab, but only if you know how to qualify. Jessica Reynolds from American Heritage Lending helps investors get fully funded every day.  She knows exactly what lenders are looking for and how to se...

Most flippers stay stuck doing $25/hour work. Running to Home Depot. Babysitting contractors. But scaling to 500 flips requires $1,000/hour decisions. J. Scott has written 5 books, co-hosted the BiggerPockets Business Podcast, and built a flipping business most people only ever dream about. We’re unpacking the current market landscape heading into 2026.  Plus, the mindset that changed everyth...

In the last 104 years, there have been 36 recessions…  But only 2 really crushed the housing market. In this week’s episode of The Bottom Line, we break down what actually happens in a downturn, how to plan for worst-case drops, and the 1% rule I use to protect my flips. Stop stressing about “the market” and develop what Dr. Sheri calls “failure immunity.” Every investor struggles at some poi...

What if every 2 flips, you bought 1 rental property in cash ?  Most people think real estate is all about speed. But Jonathan and Lauren Weathers play by a different set of rules. We call it “tactical patience.” And that’s how they’ve spent 18 years building one of the most efficient flipping businesses in the country. See how this slow play turned into 13 paid-off, cash-flowing rentals. What...

I’ve closed hundreds of deals…  But nothing has hit me like this moment did. A couple of weeks ago, I had a life-changing experience in Mexico.  Our 7 Figure Foundation partnered with Homes for Hope to build houses for families. In two days, we built three homes for families living in shacks with no water. They were surviving on only $100 a week. I thought I was giving back, but I was th...

Most investors are scared of hard money.  They think it’s too risky, too expensive, or impossible to get approved for if you’re new. That’s why I sat down with Melissa Korda, a lender who funded over $118M in deals last year alone.  She breaks down exactly what lenders actually care about, how you can get funded even on your very first deal, and why you need to start building relationshi...

Everyone wants to be a millionaire. But a lot of businesses think that to scale revenue, you have to scale your marketing spend.  So they throw thousands of dollars away trying one marketing channel after the next.  I’ll show you… How a $250 lead can turn into $25K profit… How long it really takes to get paid… And what you HAVE to track if you want predictable growth.  If you’re ser...

My hands were shaking when I hit “stop recording.” That's never happened to me before. I've been on stages in front of thousands of people.  I've led Marines through combat deployments. But sitting alone in my office, talking into a microphone about my childhood? That broke me. For 50 minutes, I told a story I've carried for 20 years.  About a kid who grew up thinking he wasn't worth sho...

What if you could protect your family and earn on the same dollar twice? That’s exactly what I’m doing with a $5M policy right now. It keeps my family safe. My money earns money on itself. Plus I can put that capital back to work in real estate. This isn’t new. It’s the same strategy the Rockefellers used to build generational wealth. And my friend Tom Laune has been setting these up for investors...

Most people think you need experience, money, or connections to make it in real estate. Matt Foote had none of that. He was selling roofs door-to-door after a hurricane. Then put $800 into SMS marketing. Two weeks later…$24,000 in profit. But it took months to get the next deal. That’s where most people quit. Matt didn’t. Now he’s flipping full-time in Jacksonville, Florida. He’s wholesaled 100+ h...

If you think money is the currency in real estate, you’re chasing the wrong thing. There’s a currency that decides whether you get deals, keep deals, and get referrals…  …and it’s not cash. Dr. Sheri Fluellen was staring at a flip with $17,000 in hidden costs and $2,500 earnest money on the line. Most people in her shoes would walk away… But Sheri didn't. Here’s why. You can’t build a real bu...

Most of us grew up with the same definition of “success.” Get a good job. Max out your 401k. And then retire at 65. That’s exactly what Lindsay Frederiksen did. She became a CPA, then climbed her way up the tech world, leading international sales teams, filling up three passports, and making the kind of money most people dream of. On paper, it was perfect. But it came at a cost.  She was miss...

I almost had to write a $70,000 check to get out of a bad deal in Alabama. All because I thought… “Just drop the price and it’ll sell.” Spoiler: It didn’t… Because it was never about the price. They fail because of 5 hidden killers that most investors panic and miss. Flips don’t fail by chance. They fail because of blind spots. And those blind spots are hard to see when you’re doing this alone. Th...

While most 26-year-olds are still figuring out their life…  Sam Hopkins is flipping 10–20 houses a month. He’s already on track to become one of the best flippers in the country. But he didn’t start that way. He was working two jobs at AT&T and GNC, making $11 an hour.  He scraped together $10K over a year and then bet it all on a vacant house he found driving for dollars. Bought it...

I’m not the smartest guy around. I wasn’t born into money. And I definitely don’t have some secret “rich friends” club funding my deals. But this year alone, I raised $1.8M in private money. In fact, one niche marketing campaign we ran did $700K in revenue from just $21K spend. That’s a 22:1 ROI. And I did all of this with just 2 skills. If you don’t control funding…  …you don’t control the d...

Most people think the secret to scaling is finding more deals. But Bret cracked the code another way… He and his dad quit their jobs and went full-time just 18 months ago.  And they made a promise to each other…No exit plan. Now they’re running a business with 3 employees and hitting ARVs up to $600K. And one of their secrets is this $1,000/day rule that predicts rehab delays. If you want to...

The water was 36°. Cold enough to make your skin burn. Cold enough that every nerve in your body screams, “Get out!” Last week, our leadership team didn’t just step in… we stayed in. And somewhere in the middle of it all, I realized something… That ice bath was teaching me the same thing that closes deals. Because flipping houses isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about doing the hard, uncomfortab...

Most investors blame price on losing the deal. But what if the seller never intended to say yes in the first place? Because distressed sellers don’t act logically. Sellers in distress behave a lot like people battling addiction. That’s why Dr. Sheri Fluellen (a psychologist + investor) uses a framework from addiction recovery… …to help sellers make clear, confident decisions. And if you’re wonderi...

Most people think fear shows up before the offer. But the real fear hits when the seller says “yes.” That’s exactly what happened to Beka Shea. Right before she made the offer, she froze. Not because it was a bad deal… But because she was afraid of what came after the yes. (This is someone who’s flipped 60+ houses and wholesaled 120+ deals.) If you’re wondering why Becca almost lost $1.2M deal…. C...
