The Real Estate Investing Fast Track

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.

In this episode:
-Why he launched his own brokerage
-The personality test he uses to reject 82% of applicants
-How he decides what to wholesale vs. flip

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.
