Part 3 of my Pleasant Valley flip breakdown — and it's not going as planned. After 35 days on market with 17 showings, still no offers.
In this video: what went wrong (pricing, an area with high days-on-market, an overlooked kitchen floor and pool), and the exact fixes we'r...
Real estate chaos is real — if you're doing multiple deals at once, your phone, email, and texts can feel like they never stop. In this video, I share the exact system I use to stay sane after 500+ real estate deals over the last 11 years.

Part 2 of a real novation deal I'm working right now in Greenwood Lake, NY. We had a buyer under contract, appraisal came back $50K over the purchase price — but their lender still wanted $20K in basement repairs or the deal was off. I walk through what happened, why I said no, and the real risks of novations that most people online don't talk about. If you're new to wholesaling or novations, this is the unfiltered side of th...
I agreed to buy this Marysville, WA flip for $515K based on 10 pictures — then walked the property myself and found $35K in extra work I didn't know about.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series — Part 2 covers the property walkthrough, Part 3 covers the sale.

Just closed a wholesale deal in Renton, WA — $30,000 assignment fee, $0 out of pocket. In this breakdown, I cover the 6-month-old direct mail lead, why I didn't negotiate the seller's price, how zoning research showed the lot could fit a house + DADU (worth more to a builder), and why repeat buyers make disposition easy.
A pest control guy knocked on my door with zero appointment and 30 minutes later I had my credit card out. I had no plans to buy anything that day — so what changed my mind?
