7 Figure Flipping

Today I share some information on how I was able to systematically build my house flipping business so that I only need to work around 5 hours a week and still flip around 100 houses a year.  These are five tips I blogged about on Danny Johnson's Flipping Junkie, but I felt deserved a bit more attention here on the podcast.Have any questions for me? Just post them in the comments area below! And if you like what you hear, be sure to click here to subscribe in iTunes. And while you’re there, why not leave us a review and five-star rating?Flip TipToday I interviewed Brian Davis from the House Flipping Mastermind group who just got his first offer acceptance after 58 days from starting his house flipping journey!  He shares his background, what made him want to start house flipping in the first place, and how he found out about House Flipping HQ and the mastermind.He also gives details on how he found his property and the work that he will do on the house to add value and increase the ARV so that he can get his projected ROI.  We talk about the importance of taking action and what it takes to move forward.Show NotesIn this episode we cover:How losing rental properties helped me understand the great ROI available from flipping housesThe power of creating systems to automate and grow your businessThe Five Tips that you can apply to systematize your house flipping businessTip 1: Let others do the leg work on acquisitionsException: If you are brand new, then do as much property analysis and walk-throughs as you can until you really understand the process.Utilize your agents who are already doing part of the process for you.It will take time, but you can eventually train them to take over more and more of the acquisition and offer making leg workTip 2: Use a rehab price listThis came as a result of me seeing a lot of similarities in the price that materials were costing for our rehab jobsUsing a price-list means that you reduce negotiations with contractors and your entire rehab process can be streamlined even moreTip 3: Get those agents to work!The combination of using a general contractor and an agent is equivalent and much more efficient than hiring a project manager.My agents help to manage my rehab project <– yes, you read that right!My contractors make sure the work is 100% finished before the leave a job.  And the agents check the contractor's work and take care of all the small items related to selling a house.Tip 4: Avoid the paperwork pile-upPaperwork causes a big distraction that takes away your productivity and focusI had an attorney create a document that allows me to give authority to specific people to take care of things for me.This might not be for everyone.  I am not providing legal advice. Tip 5: Outsource the busy workStart with the easy tasks and then build from there.Always try to eliminate tasks and replace yourself over timeTweetable QuotesClick a quote to tweet it!“If you keep pushing at it, good things will come with your house flipping business” ~ Justin Williams“Just get out there and do it” ~ Brian Davis“What's bad is good and whats good is bad” ~ Justin Williams“Your house flipping machine will always need a certain amount of maintenance.  But if you build the machine then all you have is maintenance” ~ Justin Williams“Make sure it is mutually beneficial” ~ Justin Williams“Get those agents to work!” ~ Justin Williams“It is impossible to streamline and grow your business if you have your hands in every part of the machine” ~ Justin Williams“Try to see, what can you eliminate?” ~ Justin Williams“Always ask yourself, how can I 10x myself?” ~ Justin Williams“If you're going to think, you might as well think big” ~ Justin WilliamsTranscriptClick here to Read and Download the Transcript for Episode 30Links and ResourcesJust Start Real Estate with Mike SimmonsEmail Brian at [email protected] or call him at (248) 470-6280My guest post on Danny Johnson's Flipping Junkie websiteThe E-MythThe 4 Hour Work WeekWin Girl Scout Cookies!Get some Girl Scout Cookies!Just for leaving a rating and review you can get yourself a box of Girl Scout Cookies!  As I've mentioned before, Ratings and Reviews are really helpful in getting other people to know about this podcast and we want to spread the word about all the content and information we're providing here on House Flipping HQ.  To get your cookies, just follow these steps!Leave a rating AND review on iTunes by going to houseflippinghq.com/podcast or searching for “House Flipping HQ” in the iTunes store and going to our podcast listing.Send an e-mail to [email protected] with your iTunes user name and the text you wrote in the review.In the email include your name and mailing addressFinally, let us know your top 3 preferences for flavor.  You can see a list of flavors here on the Girl Scout's website.  (We'll do our best to accommodate your request but if all 3 are gone we'll have to s

And while you’re there, why not leave us a review and five-star rating?Flip TipA question came in from David and Kelly Kent about making offers on the MLS and structuring relationships with agents.  If you're making offers on the MLS you have a lot of competition.  Either you need to be okay with lower margins or medium-low margins and making a LOT of offers.  Full-time MLS offers are time consuming.  After one of my assistants made offers full time for 2 months we only ended up with 3 deals.  It was worth it, but very difficult.  You have to get serious with some direct marketing if the MLS isn't working to get deals.Show NotesIn this episode we cover:Jason and Katherine's journey from Taxi Cabs and Dance Studios to real estate investingThe importance of utilizing resources like House Flipping HQ and doing your research to know what you need to doThe challenges of investor clubs in Texas and things to be aware ofTheir current business model consisting of retail, wholetail, and wholesale deals.Retail: Standard MLS listing and flippingWholetail: Purchasing potential flip properties and selling it to wholesalers on the open market with less fixing upWholesale: Bringing deals to investorsTheir current methods for acquiring properties using mainly online marketing through their website and how to approach online marketing for acquiring dealsThe importance of understanding what people are going through and how it helps you get referrals.Why high-pressure sales are not a good tactic when dealing with real estateHow Jason and Katherine communicate and deal with sellersHow people can get started “driving for dollars”Their approach to dealing with out-of-state landlordsThe methods the Grote's use to analyze deals and determine the best course of actionThe flip bucket: a property that works well as a flip or wholesale dealThe buy-and-hold bucket: a property that works better as a rental or long-term holdHow the Grote's use bank financing for their flips and have done it on over 40 dealsTheir approach to rehabbing and fixing up propertiesHow the Grote's balance their family and businesses and the importance of setting boundaries and prioritiesTweetable QuotesClick a quote to tweet it!“That's the thing about this business.  There is no one manual that you can go to learn it.  You just have to get out there and learn it and talk to people and immerse yourself in it.” ~ Jason Grote“For anyone who wants to get started with online marketing … the key is to just start.” ~ Jason Grote“Internet leads need to be mixed with other marketing efforts.” ~ Jason Grote“You have to be careful how you treat people.” ~ Katherine Grote“Yes, we're in the business of making a profit, but at the end of the day everyone has to feel good about the transaction.” ~ Katherine Grote“What gives you success for longevity is treating people fairly” ~ Jason Grote“These motivated sellers need your help.  You are helping them.  The number one priority is to assist these people and do what is best for them.” ~ Jason Grote“Boundaries are really important” ~ Katherine Grote“Your business needs to serve you.  You don't serve your business” ~ Jason GroteTranscriptClick here to Read and Download the Transcript for Episode 29Links and Resourceshttp://www.ibuyaustinhouses.comhttp://www.facebook.com/IBuyAustinHousesTiffany HumfeldThanks Tiffany!This week Tiffany Humfeld dropped by the “studio” and sang an awesome intro for this week's episode.  Thanks Tiffany!Tiffany is one of the organizers for the great FIBI (For Investors By Investors) meetup in Long Beach, California.  If you are in the area be sure to check them out.  You can get more information at their meetup website here.You can also check her out at PropertySolved.com.Win 1,000 Yellow Letters!
