Flipping America

It's OK to start small. But if you start well, and build disciplines around expenses, cash flow and reinvestment of profits, your business will grow and grow until it becomes a juggernaut, which is an unstoppable force, not a bad guy in Marvel comics.  Jason Pero was born and raised in Erie, PA and attended college at nearby Westminster. After college Jason began a sales career in pharmaceutical a...

They say your Network is your Net Worth. That may be true and if it is, building your network could be one of the most important things you will do. If you make yourself attractive or credible enough people will reach out to you. I'm going to show you how to accomplish this and no, it's not a diet and workout lesson. I'm also going to talk through the steps and key principles for intentionally gro...

Today we are concluding our conversation with Chris Larsen about how to make a million dollars in real estate. There are multiple paths. We've laid out a path in single family and in multi-family for you, but there are other options as well.   How to contact us www. RogerBlankenship.com . Leave a voicemail right from the home page!

Your life is a combination of repeated tasks and special projects. Repeated tasks include all of your regular weekly, daily and monthly routines. These are essential to your life and while they may have some variety (i.e. beans instead of fish for supper), their repetition minimizes the need for special or extra-ordinary intervention from your brain. Special projects are those things that interrup...

They say there are two inevitabilities in this life: Death and Taxes. We won't tell you that you can completely avoid taxes, but you can minimize them with the right strategies and there are some cases where you can avoid taxes all together. The Self-Directed IRA is our topic for tonight and in a few moments we are going to show you how you can make a million dollars or even more in your Self-Dire...

Imagine standing in front of someone you need to impress (a date?, investors, potential clients, home-sellers?) with complete confidence. We're not talking about false bravado or an over-inflated ego disconnected from reality. We're talking about confidence that comes from preparation, skill development, knowledge, experience, and a thorough understanding of your weaknesses and what you have done...

We continue today in our conversation about Creative Deal Structures with Don Derosa. As we left off last time we were about to have a pile of wisdom and experience laid on us. In a few minutes I'm going to start the recording up again - I'll back it up a little bit so you have some context, but Don is going to share some key principles with you about getting these deals done.   How to contact us...

In the coming months we are going to see a bump in the number of distressed homeowners who need an offer "right now." Many homeowners do not have enough equity or the ability to discount their houses low enough for there to be an opportunity for an investor to make money. Unless you know how to creatively structure deals to minimize your cash outlays. That's the topic for the next couple of episod...

Today we conclude the conversation with Ramon Tookes and John Durham on the topic we titled, "Some Like it Hot". We are looking for hot markets, hot products in those markets, and hot deals. We also took a number of questions from the audience during the call and we are sharing it all with you here. The first two installments from this call were part of the previous two episodes. You'll want to li...

We are continuing the conversation today with Ramon Tookes and John Durham on the topic we titled, "Some Like it Hot". We are looking for hot markets, hot products in those markets, and hot deals. We also took a number of questions from the audience during the call and we are sharing it all with you here. We will join the conversation in a few moments. This part two of three parts. If you missed t...

I believe every meeting we hold and every call we conduct provides great information that you need and want. We almost always, in my humble opinion, we hit that mark. I take pride in the fact that this show is carefully researched, thoughtfully constructed, and reasonably presented to add incredible value to the life of anyone interested in real estate investing. But occasionally we move the needl...

We continue today the conversation we started last time with Mark Dolfini and Tom Zeeb. We are talking about the recovery after the coronavirus shutdowns end and where we think real estate will be. Mark is a buy and hold investor in Indianapolis and Tom is a wholesaler in Washington DC. It's tough to predict outcomes from something unprecedented like this, but we are going to try anyway.   How to...

The economy can't stay closed forever. And when it reopens it might not open all at once everywhere. Many experts now are beginning to believe that real estate will lead a resurgence that could impact the entire economy. What shape will it take? We are joined today by my good friends Tom Zeeb and Mark Dolfini. These are high volume investors from Washington DC and Indianapolis respectively and the...

We sometimes take technology for granted in our world. I'm not going to turn this into your daddy's talk about how he had to walk to school every day 5 miles, uphill each way in rain or snow. But I will tell you that when I started in this business TVs were not flat and phones didn't take pictures or send emails. Yes things have come a long way and this is not just to tell you that I'm old or I've...

We continue the conversation today about whether it is time to buy, to sell, to hold, or what to do. My guests are Gordon Catts and Chris Larsen. This is the second and concluding portion of the conversation. If you missed the first part, be sure to download Show number 364 and give it a listen when you can.  Later on I'm going to reveal the top six months for home sales in the United States. If w...

The Pandemic of 2020 rages on. And raging perhaps louder than the disease itself is the on-going debate about when and how the economy should open. Protesters are out in multiple metropolitan areas, jobless claims went up another 3 million last week - nearly 35 million now unemployed. Yet the Governor of California this morning announced that the state will remain locked down until there is a vacc...

We talk all the time here on Flipping America about getting a hard money loan. It could be that you're listening and are vaguely familiar with the idea, but it gets kind of complicated quickly when you start talking about all of the variables. Interest rate, term, points, loan-to-value, purchase money, rehab money, percentages of this or that. On today's episode I'm speaking with Nate Wolosiewicz...

"Most people don't recognize opportunity because it often comes disguised as hard work." "Opportunity paged me, beeped me, linked me, emailed me, faxed me and spammed me, but I was expecting it to knock."  How to contact us www. RogerBlankenship.com .

Chris Larsen is the founder and Managing Partner of Next-Level Income, through which he helps investors become financially independent through education and investment opportunities. He began syndicating deals in 2016, has raised more than $12M and been actively involved in over $150M of real estate acquisitions.

Tom Peters said, ""If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." No one listening to this show right now is responsible for the pandemic that is destroying the worldwide economy while taking fewer lives than the seasonal flu. It's a strange and challenging time, but it is precisely during times like these that shrewd people sense the changing opportunities, respond to meet them a...

No one really knows the future, but with real estate, there are a number of signposts that can predict where we are heading. Today's show is a call from last week as part of the Flipping America REIA group. On the call we talked about the real estate leading indicators, what they tell us, and how to get the data. Plus I provide a link for everyone listening to grab your own copy of this report - I...

No one really knows what is about to happen - to the economy as a whole and especially in real estate. Uncertainty can lead to anxiety which does not necessarily contribute to good investing decisions. Joe Thompson has been around real estate in various forms for many years and has seen markets come and go. He will be joining me to discuss the current situation and possibilities for real estate in...

Today we are talking about a form of passive real estate income that can create cash-flow, tax advantages, and build wealth. I'm talking about turn-key rentals and today we have two of the best - Jack Gibson and Jeff Schecter. A Turn-key rental is a property you buy from someone that has already been rehabbed and is ready for the rental market. It may already be rented! A good turn-key supplier ca...

Now more than ever we all need income in addition to our regular J.O.B. This has always been true for those who aspire to wealth. But with the uncertainties and anxieties around our economy in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, it's more important than ever to maximize income and returns from every source. On this call we will look at the various types of income and every participant will be encourag...
