Every year, I record a podcast on July 4th. It’s a tradition. Because “freedom” means something different to me now than it did when I was flying helicopters over the Persian Gulf… And it probably means something different to you, too. This is the thing that drives everything I do. Freedom and money go hand-in-hand. Not because you need to be rich… But because it gives you options. This holiday isn't just about fireworks and ribs for me. (Although I am cooking five racks of ribs and three tri-ti...

While I was mid-flight last week, Dr. Sheri Fluellen dropped a story most investors would never admit. Her worst. Flip. Ever. A $75K property on 8 acres. It seemed like the perfect first deal. Instead, she got… No septic system. FIVE layers of shingles crushing the roof. A crumbling foundation $60K ARV drop A contractor who went MIA for months. 2.5 years later…she lost $20,000. But what happened after this is what blew me away. If you’ve ever had a deal go sideways or you’re afraid one might…hea...

One of Dr. Shannon’s clients recorded a simple 5-minute audio. She played it every morning and every night for a week. What happened next? She brought in $250,000. Now, you might think she did it with a brand-new strategy no one talks about. Or by working harder than anyone else. Sure… strategy and hard work played a role. But what really moved the needle was rewiring her brain to believe she already had what she wanted… and taking action from that state. This week’s podcast is about how entrepr...

If you’re flipping out of state, then LISTEN UP. Here’s a tactic you won’t find on YouTube (but you WILL need eventually): Before Dr. Sheri arrived to walk her new flip, her GC sent the whole crew on a lunch break. Then sprayed Febreze all over the house. Why? Because “he didn’t want her to smell anything bad…” …or “have to meet the guys.” 🤨 The reality is that he didn’t see her as the project owner. He saw her as someone who needed to be SHIELDED from.the real work. Someone who wasn’t supposed...

Be honest… Put a finance workshop next to Fortnite or a TikTok trend. Which one do you think your kid is choosing? Exactly. That’s where Trinity started. Her parents signed her up for a program called Teenage Tycoon. Two Zooms a week. A book a month. Boring adult stuff. She wasn’t happy. Sat off-camera, arms crossed. Decided she was too smart for it. But then, one session flipped everything. A speaker explained how they were making REAL money selling dead palm leaves on eBay. Something clicked. ...

Reality check: Most investors give up after hearing “not interested.” Others back off because they don’t want to feel pushy. “I already called twice… I’ll just wait.” The seller ghosts. And just like that… another lead fades out. You tell yourself: They’ll reach out if they’re serious. And that’s the end of it… But is it? Let me show you what one ‘dead lead’ turned into… and why you’ll never look at your CRM the same again. We were following up with a wholesale seller. They said “not interested”...

What if I told you the #1 reason most “investors” NEVER buy their first property... Has nothing to do with the market? It’s not a lack of leads. Not even a bad contractor (although you’ll hear how I could’ve prevented an $80,000 mistake with mine). If you’ve even done one deal , you’re statistically ahead of a lot of people. And AI could take you that much further. This might be my favorite episode of the Bottom Line yet… I’m using AI to make faster, smarter decisions. And I’m tracking it all in...

Most people think doing the work themselves will save money on a flip. Tom Bell thought the same thing. Until a “quick” 6-week rehab turned into 5 months of nights, weekends, and missed deals. This week on The Bottom Line, I sat down with Tom, one of our 7 Figure Runway members, who came back to real estate after COVID wiped out his rental income. He’s not 25. He’s not looking to quit his job tomorrow. He just wanted to build income on his terms, stay active in retirement, and not rely on a 401(...

Ever catch yourself thinking… “I’ll take action…once I know exactly what to do.” It sounds smart. Strategic. Responsible. Until you stall for months at a time waiting. This week I’m doing something different with my friend Dr. Sheri Fluellen. It’s called The Bottom Line. We’re sharing real stories. Actual numbers in our business. And answering one of your questions. Every week. And the first story we unpack? The bottlenecks we didn’t even realize we were stuck in. If you're trying to figure out ...

This guy had every reason to quit. He didn’t grow up with a silver spoon. He didn’t have a network. He didn’t even have stability. Dairius Kawewehi spent most of his childhood in the foster care system. Then he joined the Navy—launching jets off aircraft carriers in one of the most high-pressure, dangerous jobs in the military. That’s where he learned structure. Discipline. How to show up when it’s hard. It rewired his mindset—and gave him the grit he’d need for what came next. Because now? He’s...

There’s a lot of noise out there right now… You’ve probably seen the ads: Find an old guy with no website. Buy the business at a discount. Plug in an operator. Cash checks from the beach. Sounds great in theory. But 90% of millionaires built their wealth this way . One of the most overlooked and most powerful strategies in real estate right now is buying deeply discounted properties through tax deed sales. Tomorrow, I’m hosting a live Deed Hunter Masterclass with my friend Marcos “The Deed Hunte...

Ever wonder what happens when you spend $39,000 on direct mail? Well, I’m pulling back the curtain on an ACTUAL direct mail campaign that brought in over $486,000 in revenue in Q1 alone this year at Blackjack Real Estate. We’re talking about a 1.5% response rate. That’s 3x the industry average. Plus, I brought on 7 Figure Altitude member, Sarah Carlyle, someone you may recognize from the show before, for this in-depth coaching. See how you can actually make direct mail work for you. And that’s w...

I just dropped one of my favorite podcast episodes ever. It’s with Sophia and Bella Mendez, two teenage sisters who flipped a house on camera for our new TV show, Kids Who Flip. Sophia is 18. Bella is 13. Together, they flipped a house in 2 weeks where they not only added square footage but also dealt with some serious problems like a broken furnace, window delays, and a slow market… They thought they’d make $60K. They walked away with $10K—and a TON of experience most adults never get. Next mon...

Let me paint you a picture… A busted-up mobile home. No heat. No air. A couple with zero flipping experience (but a TON of grit) decides to take a chance and buy it anyway. And somehow they turn that NIGHTMARE property into a six-figure profit on their very first deal. Ted and Stephanie Sherrat, two awesome humans from Indiana, went from a W2 and construction work to running a flipping business. Ted and Stephanie almost quit on their very first flip. At one point, they were literally crying on t...

Consumer confidence just took a hit. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index is down 32% year over year — and that means even financially qualified buyers are second-guessing their decisions right now. They’re hesitating. Waiting. Watching. So what can you do? I sat down with Sheri to unpack what this really means for investors. If this episode helped you think differently about today’s market and you see opportunity where others don’t… Inside 7 Figure Runway, you’ll get around peo...

Back when I was in the Marines, we trained on the fundamentals constantly. Before you ever got into combat, you had to master the basics. It’s the same in football. Every great player starts by learning how to block and tackle. Real estate investing is no different. A couple of years ago at Flip Hacking LIVE, my friend and mentor Andy McFarland took the stage and shared what those two “blocking and tackling” moves are for investors and exactly how to get good at them (even if you’re just getting...

Michael Hasso tried scaling from 1 house to 9 flips by himself… And he almost crashed and burned. Now, a member of 7 Figure Altitude, Michael is planning to raise over $3 MILLION in capital this year! In the past year, he implemented a strategic hiring plan that is now enabling him to sustainably grow his business.

That’s exactly what Dr. Sherri Fluellen faced when she first stepped foot into the male-dominated real estate investing industry. This episode is all about the human side of investing. These are the subtle dynamics that can make or break a deal. Like how sellers respond differently to female investors... The signals most people miss during property walk-throughs... And how emotional intelligence can beco...

I’ve seen too many successful real estate investors lose massive chunks of their profits. Not because they weren’t doing deals… But because they didn’t have a solid tax strategy dialed in. The truth? You can’t out-earn bad tax planning. Even if you’re flipping multiple properties a year. This week on the podcast, I’m breaking down 6 tax secrets that most investors don’t know—but should. If you want to keep more of what you make (without living in fear of tax season)... Listen in now. Oh, and bef...

Today’s episode of the 7 Figure Flipping podcast could save you tens of thousands of dollars. A lot of house flippers have no idea if they’re profitable.

Thinking about flipping or wholesaling houses out-of-state / remotely? This one tool makes it possible. (It does everything… property photos, inspections, showings and walkthroughs, even lockboxes and notary services.) This is a must-have for anyone managing remote projects. I use this system myself and it’s a game-changer. I was shocked when I saw how much it could do… and it has allowed us to systematize our deal flow in multiple markets and expand into additional areas without having to hire ...
