Listen to This EpisodeWe have about 90 houses in the pipeline right now, which is awesome!  But we’ve learned a few important lessons about flipping houses out of state recently as well.  Plus, the market is always changing… in this episode, I give you an update on everything—where we’re at and where we’re headed!Episode 93: Show NotesA few takeaways from today’s episode.Things have been BUSY around here recently!Tara and I just launched the 8 Minute Millionaire podcast, which has been a ton of fun so far.  Check that out at 8MinuteMillionaire.com.On the house flipping side, we have about 90 houses in the pipeline at the moment.Kale and Vanessa both just got back from out of state trips, meeting with agents and other people we’re working with.We’ve learned a few things that are different in flipping out of state versus flipping in California.  We’re always still learning!  We don’t have everything figured out.When you’re getting started in this business, evaluate your situation.  If you don’t have a lot of capital, don’t go out and start trying to flip high-end properties.  Start by wholesaling and partnering, start as a bird dog, do whatever you can.Sometimes if you have money to put into a project, that becomes the path of least resistance, where it’s easier to just throw money at it rather than dig in and figure out the best or most cost-effective way to do something.We are no longer buying a house a day, and that’s intentional; we’re buying 2 or 3 per week.The market is still strong, though not as strong as it has been recently, so I’m cautiously optimistic going into the cooler months right now.I have some big changes I’ll be making soon to my house flipping coaching program, so stay tuned for more info on that!Links and ResourcesIf you haven’t checked out 8 Minute Millionaire, the new podcast Tara and I are having a BLAST creating, head over to 8MinuteMillionaire.com and find us on iTunes!Big changes coming up for my house flipping coaching program.  I’m actually going to be “shutting it down” to new students for a while so I can revamp some things.  If you want to get in, sign up now over at HouseFlippingFormula.com!Like what you hear?

Listen to This EpisodeOn the previous episode of the House Flipping HQ Podcast, I told you I would break down how to buy houses without ever seeing them.  Today, I’m going to do my best to do that.This is how I buy houses in other cities and states where I’ve never been.  Enjoy!Episode 86: Show NotesA few takeaways from today’s episode.Real estate is awesome.  You can get the rights to something that will allow you to make money, without really taking on much risk, if any.There’s really almost no risk whatsoever when putting a house under contract (assuming you have the right contingencies in place).A quick note about education—yes, you need to get educated to do this business, but the majority of people are way overthinking it.  Don’t make it so difficult for yourself.  Flipping houses is easier than you might think.The people who struggle the most in this business are often those who know “everything” about working on houses, because they get in their own way.Your goal should be to fire yourself.  Your goal should be to do as little as possible to run your business.  The less you can do, the more successful you’re going to be—I’m serious!You can have money, or you can have excuses.  You can’t have both.  If you’re making excuses, that’s why you don’t have money.I’ve said it before.  You CAN do this business.  Get some education, and learn what you need to know to keep yourself safe, but then get out there and take action, action, action.Links and ResourcesHere are a few more resources to check out about flipping a high volume of houses without seeing them.Check out my article 5 Ways to Streamline the Rehab Process.Read this summary of one of our biggest weeks for acquisitions, How We Put 12 Houses Under Contract in 1 Week.Like what you hear?

Listen to This EpisodeFor the past couple months, up until about two weeks ago, we’ve been buying about a house a day.  Recently, we’ve made some changes and eased up a bit, so that we're now buying less houses than before.  In today’s episode, I explain why.And no, it’s not because the market is falling apart or something like that.  The market is a factor, but it’s actually very good right now where I’m buying, so there's a lot more to it than that.  Thanks for listening!Episode 82: Show NotesFirst, a few things that have been on my mind this past week.I just got back from an awesome marketing conference.  Marketing is so incredibly powerful and important, and most of us in the real estate investing world, myself included, honestly suck at it!My mindset on education has changed so much over the past 6 months or so.  I’m spending $20k per year on education for myself already, and I just signed up for another $25k per year group.Good education is by far the highest ROI you can get on your investment.  And you can get an ROI while you’re learning.The main point in today’s episode is why I’ve decided to buy fewer houses.  There are three reasons.Focusing on strengthening our financial foundation.Risk mitigation, both for myself and for my investors.Preparing for the market slowdown that will happen when we hit the colder months of the year.Right now the market is doing very well, interest are low, things are great, but I want to make sure I’m prepared for the seasonal slowdown in the second half of the year.We have so many houses in process right now that I’ve focused my team’s efforts more on project management than acquisitions.I'm very, very excited for what the future holds, now that I've seen firsthand that we can handle this kind of volume!Links and ResourcesWe’ve officially re-opened the doors to the House Flipping Formula coaching program.  Get the details and sign up at HouseFlippingFormula.com!The recording of the House Flipping Systems Seminar is still available!  It’s not going to be up for much longer, so hurry!  Get it here.Like what you hear?

Listen to This EpisodeIn the past week, I’ve fired three people, in three different ways and for three completely different reasons.  In today’s episode, I share the lessons learned!One of the “firings” was more like a “mutual breakup,” where it turned out he was actually planning to quit and already had a new job lined up right as I decided to let him go.  One of them was a new member of the team who, just a couple weeks into the job, started demanding things we hadn’t agreed to.  And the third was a true firing—where I was just completely done dealing with this person’s garbage, I called them out on it, and we immediately parted ways.I hope getting a glimpse into what happened in each case and my rationale for ending these relationships will help you as you’re hiring and managing your own team!House Flipping Formula: Registration Is Now Open!We’ve just recently re-opened registration for the House Flipping Formula Coaching Program!  If you’ve been waiting to join, now is your chance!The program includes membership in the House Flipping Mastermind Group, plus monthly coaching calls, tons of training videos, resources, and more.  To learn about the program and sign up, head to HouseFlippingFormula.com!Episode 81: Show NotesThere are three kinds of “breakups,” and I got to experience all three this week.The Quick-and-Dirty Break UpThe Mutual Break UpThe “I've Drug This Out For Way Too Long and I’m No Longer Buying Your Garbage” Break UpWhen you hire someone part time, and it’s an easy job, it’s not that big a deal if it doesn’t work out.Compensate people for what they’re worth.  Give them raises over time.  But get them to agree to all of this in advance, so you’re not dealing with unexpected demands later.Keep in mind when you hire someone you already know or someone who’s family, it can be hard to fire them if you need to.If someone just isn’t passionate about their position or they don’t seem fully invested, that can be a sign that it’s not going to work out long term.  Have the “break up” sooner rather than later.In general, you should absolutely try to have conversations before you have conflicts.Ask questions.  Dig deeper.  Make sure you find out what’s really going on.Don’t buy people’s garbage.  People will feed you garbage all the time, and sometimes it’s very believable.  But you’ve got to trust your gut.Links and ResourcesWe’ve officially re-opened the doors to the House Flipping Formula coaching program.  Get the details and sign up at HouseFlippingFormula.com!The recording of the House Flipping Systems Seminar is still available!  It’s not going to be up for much longer, so hurry!  Get it here.Like what you hear?

Listen to This EpisodeMy team and I just wrapped up our spring Mastermind Meeting and the House Flipping Systems Seminar this past weekend, and we had a blast at both events!  Thank you everyone who attended.  You rock!Today’s episode is a bit different.  I’ve spent most of this week in San Diego meeting with my own mastermind group, and since I wanted to get this episode out to everyone as soon as possible, I asked my tech guy Kyle to record it for me and get it set up!For this episode, we’ve grabbed a few highlights from the House Flipping Systems seminar for you to listen in on.  Enjoy!  Oh, and if you like what you hear, you can get the full seminar recording here!  Thanks for listening!Episode 79: Show NotesThe importance of knowing your “why.”How to systematize acquisitions, buying, financing, and more.In order to systematize, you absolutely have to know your criteria, and it needs to be consistent.Focus on getting houses under contract, and dive deep into analysis once you have a house under contract and you’re ready to buy—not before.You’re only going to run the risk of losing money when you buy a house, or if you put down a large deposit and let your contingencies run out.  But until then, you have nothing to worry about.Your goal should be to “fill the funnel” with as many offers as possible, and then focus on the ones that you get under contract.  Don’t be reckless, but don’t hold back out of fear.Don’t be a control freak.  Don’t assume you can do things better than everyone else.If you put one person in charge of a part of your business, they’ll probably end up doing it much better than you ever could have, because they’re able to focus on just that one thing.How to streamline payments to private money lenders and get the most out of their funds.Links and ResourcesTo get access to the full recording of the seminar (6+ hours of footage), click here!Like what you hear?
