Michael Smith, the CEO of Oasis Home Buyers, has rapidly grown his Columbus, Ohio-based wholesaling business to impressive heights. With monthly revenues topping $400K, Michael’s scaled his wholesaling and flipping business from 6 figures to 7 figures in less than two years. For the first time ever, he’s giving you a front row seat to follow his journey from 7 figures to 8 figures and beyond!
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the impact of Ohio’s newly passed Senate Bill 155—a law that now officially regulates wholesaling activity in the state. I walk you through what this bill actually says, what’s required moving forward, and how I’m adapting my business to stay compliant without slowing down.
We cover what this law gets right, what it completely misses,...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dig into one of the most talked-about mortgage products on the horizon—the 50-year mortgage. While most people are calling it a financial trap, I make the case that if used strategically, it could unlock massive wealth, long-term flexibility, and even generational freedom.
I break down the real math behind stretching your loan from 30 to 50 year...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I share the real reason most investors lose deals—it’s not price, it’s hesitation. I break down the exact framework we use to close deals on the spot and why leaving a quote without a commitment opens the door for someone else to take everything you worked for. Whether you’re new to sales or have years in the game, this episode will challenge how you approach seller conversati...
In this Mindset Monday episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the difference between motivation and discipline—and why only one of them leads to lasting results. Motivation fades. Discipline is what carries you when nothing is going your way. I share the hard truth about what it really takes to grow your business, transform your body, or level up any area of your life.
I walk you ...

With closed sales up, inventory rising fast, and price trends starting to shift, we’re seeing the early signs of a more balanced market.
I cover the latest data, explain how buyer ...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the truth about pressure—and how to use it to fuel your growth instead of letting it break you. Whether it’s a tough seller call, a title issue, or team tension, pressure is part of the game. The people who win big are the ones who lean into it and let it build them.
I share the mindset and tactical shifts that have helped me and my t...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the top lessons I learned after spending over ten hours in person with one of the most respected business minds of our time—Alex Hormozi. From long-term thinking and building real discipline to how he structures offers, reputation, and scaling strategy, this experience left me with tactical shifts I’m now applying in my real estate business—and you can too.
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I challenge the way you think about work, income, and your role in both real estate and life. Here’s the truth: you don’t get paid to show up—you get paid to solve problems. The bigger and faster you solve those problems, the more money you make, the more people you help, and the more valuable you become.
I break down the mindset shift that separa...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I open up about one of the wildest and most unexpected experiences of my real estate career—we got sued by a seller. Yep, you read that right. A seller accused us of breaking into her home and stealing valuable family heirlooms. While the accusation was completely false, the lawsuit dragged on for over 18 months and forced us to defend ourselves in court.
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I pull back the curtain on what really separates those who build lasting success from those who burn out early: long-term thinking. Everyone wants quick wins, but the truth is, real wealth, freedom, and growth are built through consistency over years—not weeks.
I share my personal journey, including early struggles, long stretches without results,...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I get real about what it’s like to hire ambitious 20-somethings in a small business.

I share the tough lessons I’ve learned—why ambi...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I walk you through how we handle one of the most challenging—and emotionally charged—aspects of real estate: evictions. Especially post-COVID, these situations have become more complex, slower, and more expensive than ever before. But through creativity, empathy, and strategy, we’ve developed a process that protects our assets while preserving our reputation.
<...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I get brutally honest about what it really takes to level up. Everyone wants more—more income, freedom, health—but few are willing to pay the price. The truth? That price is sacrifice. Whether you’re chasing your first $100K year or trying to break into the top 1%, I lay out what needs to be traded today to earn the life you want tomorrow.
This is...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I tackle one of the most frustrating parts of sales—when a seller goes dark. You know the type: one minute they’re engaged, the next they’ve ghosted you. I break down a three-step system I use to eliminate no-shows, reduce ghosting, and create clearer communication so you don’t waste time chasing prospects.
I share real scripts, mindset shifts, and proven strategies to avoid leaving selle...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down how to handle one of the most frustrating (but common) challenges in wholesaling—when another buyer says they already have the house you’re working on under contract. This situation can feel like a dead end, but more often than not, it’s actually a massive opportunity if you stay calm, professional, and strategic.
I walk you through e...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dive into something deeper than real estate—something that affects every single one of us: the two voices we all carry inside. One lifts us up, fuels our confidence, and drives our growth. The other holds us back, plants doubt, and keeps us playing small. I break down how to recognize which voice is running your life—and how to flip the script.

In this episode of Properties to Profits, I walk you through one of the most common and misunderstood objections in real estate wholesaling: “I already have the house in contract.” If you’ve ever had a seller say that and weren’t sure how to handle it without stepping on legal toes or losing a deal—you need to hear this.
I break down how to navigate these tricky conversations with empathy...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I challenge you to stop coasting and start living like your future self—right now.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or slow to take action, this is your wake-up call.
I dive into how urgency isn...
In this episode of Properties to Profits, I get real about one of the toughest transitions any business owner faces—going from being a top individual performer to leading a team.

I break down the mindset shift that’s required to grow from a hustling solo operator into a leader who ...
