The Real Estate Investing Fast Track

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're making right now to get this sold and still turn a profit.
Part 4 drops once it sells — with the real numbers.

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.
Here's what I cover:
Don't check your phone first thing in the morning — protect your peace before the chaos starts.
Turn off notifications — check messages and email on your schedule, not everyone else's.
Handle problems one at a time — prioritize by urgency instead of letting everything hit you at once.
Ask "does this lead to revenue?" — filter out calls and tasks that aren't moving the needle.

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 the business.

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.
Instead of lowballing the seller, I tried a novation first, then renegotiated terms before price. Here's how we landed at $495K, and why that order matters.
This is Part 1 of a 3-part series — Part 2 covers the property walkthrough, Part 3 covers the sale.
🔑 Takeaways: Follow up on cold leads. Renegotiate terms before price. Stick to hot suburban markets.

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.
If you're in wholesaling, flipping, or real estate investing, this is a real, no-fluff look at how a deal like this actually comes together.

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? In this week's lesson, I break down what he did right and how the same communication tactics apply directly to buying houses from sellers.
 
I also share a deal in Warwick, NY where a seller told me "no" on the first call — and we still ended up closing on her house. The lesson: this business is 90% communication. You can have the best offer in town, but if sellers don't know, like, and trust you, they'll sell to someone else who communicates better.

Cole Ruud-Johnson is back, and we're not holding back.
We kick things off with a wild story about a deal I almost gave away — a $30k lesson in patience, integrity, and why honoring your word is worth more than any single transaction. Then Cole and I get into what actually builds a lasting real estate business: reputation, relationships, and transparency.
On AI: Cole breaks down what's actually useful (his Atlas system that pulls motivated seller leads daily — probates, pre-foreclosures, divorces, tax delinquents, and more) versus what's just noise. Spoiler: no AI agent is buying houses at scale in Bellevue. The money is still made in the room.
If you're a real estate investor, wholesaler, or agent trying to build something that lasts — this one's worth your time.

In this episode I'm breaking down exactly how to wholesale a property on the MLS for top dollar — and more importantly, when to do it.
I cover:
When to consider putting your wholesale deal on the MLS
How to have the transparent conversation with your seller
What shady investors do wrong and how to do it the right way
If your deal isn't moving on your private buyers list, the open market might be your answer. Once it's live on the MLS, you'll know within two weeks whether you have a deal or not.
