Flipping America

FAR 230 Expected Air Date: 2/16/19 Opening Our guest today joined the Marines out of high school, then went to Purdue University where he completed a degree in Accounting. While in college he started acquiring rental properties. He’s had some setbacks which you will hear about in a few minutes but today he owns $30 MILLION dollars worth of real estate and he coaches others in the process. What I really appreciate about Mark Dolfini is his thoughtfulness in having you begin your real estate endeavors by first thinking about your life. This is more than your “why”. It’s a process he calls VIP and if you can get your brain wrapped around this, I think it can make a huge difference in your investing career. His name is Mark Dolfini and he will be with us in a few minutes.  How to contact us www.flippingamericanetwork.com Facebook.com/flippingamericamedia Twitter and Instagram @FlippingAmerica YouTube: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnYouTube Linkedin: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnLinkedIn We now have a profile at houzz.com for

FAR 229 Expected Air Date: 2/14/19 Opening The House Whisperer Bookmark this show folks, I’m going to give away some of my secret sauce. The number one topic of the strategy and consulting calls we do is Deal Flow. Where can I find the next deal? I get at least 10,000 properties a month into my inbox. Stay tuned - I’m going to show you how. Master the stuff I’m going to talk about today and you will like a professional Deal Trainer - they will come to you on command. Sit, Stay, do tricks - Deals will be all around you. You’ve heard me make the preposterous claim that I get 10,000 deals into my inbox and frankly I had never really added them up - until yesterday. Someone asked me to prove it. So I took an hour yesterday and added up the deals that had come in JUST THIS WEEK so far (yesterday was Wednesday). The number was 19,925. Now here’s the important part: I have 11 deal sources and at the moment I’m only using three of them. There’s no point expending the effort on the other sources right now. But I’m goi

Feb 9, 2019 “The best thing about any higher education is learning how to learn.” Do you want to grow, develop, and improve throughout your life? I’m pretty sure you do, which is why you are reading this right now. I’m asking you today to commit now to a lifetime of learning. If you were one of those who hated school, please don’t think I just sentenced you to a lifetime of boredom. Learning is SO much different than most of what we experienced in school (unfortunately) and is SO much more interesting. So why is school so boring? There’s no simple explanation, but I think it has a lot to do with quantification of progress. That is, we need to know whether the students are learning, and the most objective way to assess this is to test rote memory. That makes it easy to compare the progress of children across a school district or a state but is a measure of only the lowest level of learning. Enter Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain (He also developed similar taxonomies for the Affective and Psycho-motor d

FAR 228 Expected Air Date: 2/11/19 Opening The 2019 Trend Report It’s possible there are two destinations in front of you - the place you want to be, and the place the market is heading.The general market direction is due to a variety of forces, none of which are in your control. But what if it is going in a different direction? What if the opportunity lies in an area beyond your expertise? What if your success strategy is based on certain market fundamentals but the market is behaving differently or perhaps even the opposite way for your plan to succeed?  In some ways your success in life and business is to find a path to your own ultimate destination that rides along with the market forces that are outside of your control. Over the past few years if you have been a single family fix and flip investor and your strategy has been to buy anything in the hot area even if your margins are thin, relying on price increases to make your money, you will find that in 2019 this game is up. Starting now, or actually six

FAR 226 Brian Dally, Ground Floor Funding Expected Air Date: 2/2/19 Opening A little over a year ago we asked everyone in our group what were their biggest needs in their real estate investing work. They were: Deals Money to do the deals. Help, advice, mentoring for the opportunities they were considering. You spoke -- we heard you. As you may have heard, the Flipping America Network is about to be released in the wild. This is the Buying platform for real estate investors nationwide. Post your property in the FAN and it will be seen by hundreds (we hope thousands) of investors including possibly someone in your zip code. My dream is that one day anyone can jump into the FAN and find a deal. The FAN connects real estate investor buyers with actual properties (no dummy listings). The FAN allows wholesalers to post their properties. There’s no need to build buyers lists, and maintain mailing list programs. Focus on deal flow. The FAN allows homeowners to list their home for sale providing a direct connection

FAR 224 Tom Zeeb Expected Air Date: 1/28/19 Opening Great show coming up today. We are going to be joined in a moment by Tom Zeeb, a Washington DC investor with a true rags to riches story.  15 years ago Tom was broke as a joke. A near-death experience while rafting pushed him to find a new way to break free of his 9-to-5 job. Real estate investing saved him. Both personally and financially. Hundreds of deals later, he is happy to share the same techniques that set him free, so you can do the same.

FAR 223 Lorraine Beato Expected Air Date: 1/24/19 Opening What a show we have lined up for you today. There is SO much going on here at Flipping America I could probably fill the hour just updating you, but I’m going to try and keep it brief because we have a great guest here today, one of Atlanta’s most prolific investors and realtors, Lorraine Beato. With over 25 years in the industry starting with Merrill Lynch in mortgaged-backed securities trading and then as a realtor, appraiser, and investor both nationwide and internationally - Lorraine knows how to navigate the sometimes complex and intricate waters of real estate.

FAR 222 “House Flipping is Dead”   Expected Air Date: 1/21/19 Opening “House Flipping is Dead! Long live Flipping Houses!” Have you ever wondered about that phrase, “The King is dead - long live the king!”? The first time I heard it I must have been in middle school (we called it Junior High School back then) watching a movie. Aside from the apparent contradiction,which is actually a literary device known as epanalepsis, I figured it probably had something to do with declaring the next guy king. It turns out I was right. It started with the French in the 1400’s and spread throughout Europe as a way to provide stability in the kingdoms and avoid civil war after the death of a monarch. It’s like saying “Charles VI is dead, long live Charles VII.” But that doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way does it? So today I’m proclaiming that House Flipping is Dead. And at the same time I’m saying “Long Live Flipping Houses.” I’m not the official real estate coroner so this is just my opinion, but we are at what coul

FAR 221 “I see that hand” Expected Air Date: 1/19/19 Opening 2019 is going to be a banner year for us here at Flipping America. We have two projects that we have been working on for quite some time that are coming to completion this year. One of them has been a dream since the day this show was born and is finally becoming a reality - the Flipping America Network. The network is a place for training, deals, and services you need to further your success in investing. The other project I can’t discuss yet, but trust me it’s going to be huge when it hits. A real game-changer. And that’s all I can say right now, but man is it hard not to say more!

FAR 220 Expected Air Date: 1/17/19 Opening As we sat down prior to the beginning of this year, we took a look at the changing real estate landscape in order to make our plans for the coming year. The principles behind real estate investing never change, but the opportunities vary with the times and there is an ebb and flow to this. I’m talking about both tactics and locations. Locations will dry up. Techniques when first discovered my yield great results, and then everyone else hears about it and the opportunity for unusually high numbers fades away. I hear a lot of great ideas and techniques on this show and frankly I’m tempted to pursue them nearly every time. I had to decide a long time ago to just stay in my lane, figure out what I’m good at and do that while celebrating the success of others in their work. But that doesn’t mean I’m not open to new ideas or techniques. So we decided for 2019 to add a couple of strategies to our work. One is the low priced house strategy, which we’ve talked about on other

Welcome to the Big 2018 Real Estate News show! Today we are going to talk about some of the biggest stories of 2018 with regards to real estate. I’m going to lead off with an in-depth report on flipping houses. This is the show Flipping America after all, so the topic is on point. But we’ve been getting quite a few questions lately about flipping houses so before I get to the news, let’s deal with a question. Remember if you have questions about real estate, send them to questions@flippingamericanetwork.com. Max from Philadelphia, PA “I heard you mention that flipping houses isn’t really investing. So what is it then?” Jaquelyn from Anderson, IN “What’s the point of flipping houses? I have good income. I just want to invest in long term cash flowing properties.”

She has a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering from one of America’s leading technical institutes. She was a test pilot with the US government with Top Secret clearance. She also has a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology, which seems very different than engineering! She gave up what looks to all of us a GREAT career to become a real estate investor. Yeah she’s good at that too. With more than 180 articles published on Bigger Pockets, Ali Boone has become one of the best known real estate investors of our time. In a few minutes I’m going to share with you my interview with her and I have to say, one of the most interesting conversations I’ve had on this show.

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a real estate reporter for a major news outlet? Wonder no more. We have a couple of them lined up for you in the next two weeks. I like to know what people think and how they think and these reporters provide a lot of the interpretation for the data we all consume as real estate investors. Today we are going to be joined in a few minutes by Devon Thorsby from US News and World Report. I’m planning to ask Devon how she feels about real estate in general, what she sees coming for us in 2019, and how she wound up at the magazine. Devon Thorsby is the Real Estate editor at U.S. News & World Report, where she writes consumer-focused articles about the homebuying and selling process, home improvement, tenant rights and the state of the housing market. She has appeared in media interviews across the U.S. including National Public Radio, WTOP (Washington, D.C.) and KOH (Reno, Nevada) and various print publications, as well as having served on panels discussing real estate developm

Roger is at it again - making fun of the Real Estate Headline writers. Today he picks on self-contradictory "news" stories on interest rates over a three week span - all by the same author. He then gets on a mild rant about homeownership and finally takes some questions from the listeners.
