“Can you handle 2,000 houses?” This is the jaw-dropping question Heather Rickman got not long after she launched her first real estate business during the “foreclosure era” a few years back. Today, she’s flipping and wholesaling houses and running a real estate brokerage in one of the toughest markets in the nation. (90% of her deals are in the Seattle / Tacoma area.) She’s sharing the whole story on today’s episode of the 7 Figure Flipping Podcast… plus some awesome takeaways from our 8 Figure ...

Do you ever feel like you’re forced to choose between “success” and “family?” Sometimes it feels like we can’t have both… We feel like we have to give up time with our spouse and kids to focus on business… or stick to “playing small” in the business world if we want to prioritize family. We’ve all met people who made millions of dollars but lost all their important relationships in the process… and we DON’T want to turn out like that. So what’s the answer? Do you HAVE to make this choice? One or...

Last week I spent 4 days with our 8 Figure Entrepreneur group. And I brought in a special guest… The one and only Daymond John. (I managed to keep it a secret until the moment he walked down the stairs! Everyone was BLOWN AWAY…) Daymond spent a couple hours with us and shared some awesome advice. So on today’s episode of the 7 Figure Flipping Podcast I’m sharing a few big takeaways I learned from him… Check it out! If you want to be in the room the next time something like this happens, head ove...

I get this question all the time… “Should I quit my job and go all-in on real estate investing?” The answer is… maybe . Recently I sat down with one of the members of our 7 Figure Runway mentoring group, Ron Angel, to talk about this question. Ron is an AWESOME guy… His mindset is stronger than just about anyone I know… which is important, because what’s going on in your mind is the #1 indicator of success in this business (or ANY business). There are some SERIOUSLY POWERFUL takeaways in this co...

I just spent an hour hanging out with the incredible Avery Carl, master of short-term vacation rentals in multiple markets. She’s an Airbnb genius… And she has some powerful insights, tactics, and “lessons learned” to share with anyone who wants to get into short-term rentals. We talked about things like… How she made $45,000 in her first year with just 1 property… Scaling to 5 houses in 18 months (with LIMITED capital)...

Let’s talk about short-term rentals. Some real estate investors won’t touch them. “Ugh, AirBnb is a constant headache, way too time-intensive, you have to pay cleaners constantly…” But if you have the right systems and you know a trick or two… …you can make absolutely INSANE returns with STRs. I just had a mind-blowing conversation with 7 Figure Altitude member Spencer Bailey who’s an expert with short-term rentals. He shared a ton of tactics and systems you can use to maximize your income and M...

I woke up early this morning thinking about the Sistine Chapel. I have no idea why I was thinking about it… But I couldn’t get it out of my head.

I just had an incredible conversation with Nick Lamagna—a real estate investor, podcaster, and good friend. We talked about things like… - The importance of live events and how to get the most out of them… - How to find your “tribe” and why it’s 100% necessary if you want to succeed in real estate… - The power of being authentic and vulnerable (even if it makes you “look bad”)... - How to break out of analysis paralysis (if you’re being too cautious)… - How to stop swinging at everything and fin...

Just before Christmas I got a box in the mail from my mentor Russell Brunson. It contained some awesome things… …including a set of vinyl records with ACTUAL recordings made by Napoleon Hill in the 1960s. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened the box. Napoleon Hill studied success and was the godfather of the mastermind concept that forms the foundation of just about everything we do here at 7 Figure Flipping. These records are pure gold . And almost NO ONE has heard these recordings before. ...

“I’m rehabbing 34 houses right now, and I never feel like I have any cash.” This is one of the things that came up at the 7 Figure Altitude mastermind meeting yesterday. If you’re new to real estate investing, this might sound like a strange problem to have… …but it’s the kind of issue you face when you’re doing this business at an extremely high level. Right now I’m hanging out with 150+ of the top real estate investors in the nation. This is our first Altitude event of the year… …so I figured ...

If there’s one podcast episode you should listen to over and over again this year, it’s this one I just recorded with the incredible Krista Mashore. Tactics and strategies are great… But you CAN’T succeed as a real estate investor without getting your mind right … Listen in now! Krista is a rock star. She’s in the top 1% of real estate agents nationwide… She’s sold 2,300 homes… She’s a coach and a digital marketing genius.

This is my favorite episode of the year. I’m pulling back the curtain on how I did on my 2021 goals, what I learned, and what I plan to accomplish in 2022. I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. A lot of people have been asking. So let’s dive in… Listen in now! It’s the “year in review” episode. I felt like it was important to break down not only my business goals but also my personal ones. It’s all about finding balance. And I’m sharing some surprises I’ve had up my sleeve...

Sometimes it feels like everything speeds up as we head into the holidays. Buying gifts, making travel plans, trying to squeeze in all those fun “Christmas traditions” you want your kids to experience… Prepping for a new year that’s about to start… Doing your best to take some “vacation time” while making sure everything keeps running in your business or at your job… There’s a lot going on.

I was at the gym this morning… And a guy came up to me and said “Hey, you’re Bill Allen, right? My wife wants to start flipping houses and getting into real estate investing… how do we get started ?” This is a question a lot of people are asking as we head into 2022. So today I want to answer this one question… How do I get started? And the first part of the process might surprise you because it has nothing to do with real estate… at least, not directly… Listen in now! If you want to get a head ...

My mind is 100% blown right now. I just recorded an interview with neuroscientist Dr. Shannon Irvine for the 7 Figure Flipping Podcast. She helps entrepreneurs “re-program” their brains so they can break bad habits, get more done, erase limiting beliefs, escape their comfort zones, and achieve higher and higher levels of success. This is POWERFUL stuff. If you’ve ever wondered why some real estate investors are able to move fast and leap from one deal to the next without slowing down, doing more...

I just wrapped up an amazing interview with April Sunshine Hawkins, a StoryBrand consultant who’s going to be hosting a workshop with our 7 Figure Altitude mastermind group in a few weeks. This was a REALLY interesting discussion… And we spent almost an HOUR digging into how to use empathy and storytelling to connect with distressed sellers in your market. (I don’t know if ANYONE is really doing this effectively yet.) Listen in now! On January 12-13, 2022, we’re holding our next 7 Figure Altitud...

I just got back from a week in Key West. 6 days of hardcore off-shore fishing. It was awesome.

When work starts to feel like WORK, there are a couple things I’ve learned how to do to bring the spark and inspiration back. I’m breaking them down in today’s episode… (This episode is ESPECIALLY important for entrepreneurs, because we’re supposed to be the ones who show up and push our team forw...

This is something that stops a lot of people from getting into real estate investing full-time… “What do I do about health insurance?” It’s a valid question for anyone who’s thinking about quitting their W2 job and diving into the life of a solo entrepreneur.

I’ve seen a lot of real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners crash and burn after a few years of HUGE success. Not because of bad business decisions… …but because of problems in their personal lives that they never saw coming until it was too late. No one is immune to this. It almost happened to me not long ago. As entrepreneurs, sometimes we’re guilty of pushing “life stuff” to the side and pouring 110% of our effort and focus into growing our businesses, doing more deals, makin...

Hey! It’s Bill Allen. I just released a new episode of the 7 Figure Flipping Podcast, but before you listen to it, a quick word of warning… Today’s episode isn’t about real estate. Here’s what happened… I was sitting in church this past Sunday. And the pastor shared something that blew my mind. When I heard it, I thought “He’s talking about ME… this is EXACTLY what I’m going through… this is EXACTLY what I need to hear right now.” And not just me… I felt like some of our 7 Figure Flipping member...

We don’t get what we want. We get what we tolerate . Our results in life rise or fall to the level of our standards, and whatever outcome you’re willing to accept is the outcome you’ll achieve. This is just ONE takeaway I got from 4 days with Tony Robbins. Yesterday I shared “Part 1” of the breakthroughs I wrote down at Tony’s UPW event this past weekend… but there was too much to fit into one podcast episode. So here’s “Part 2” with even MORE lessons learned! Listen in now! If you’re ready to h...

I hope you’re ready for a rapid-fire podcast episode loaded with breakthroughs from the most incredible personal growth experience I’ve EVER had… (There’s so much to unpack I’m making this a 2-parter.)

I got some great responses to that episode... So today I want to share 4 more lessons I learned this week.

Yesterday I spent the entire day in an annual planning meeting with the 7 Figure Flipping leadership team. We’ve been mapping out where we want to take the company in 2022.
