If you've been sitting on the sidelines, telling yourself, “I'd really love to flip a house but the market is too (hot, unpredictable, competitive, etc…”) Know that you're not alone. But you are missing out. The truth? Those who are successful don't wait on timing. They follow a plan that works in any market. So in this week's episode I'm breaking down why waiting for the "perfect" time is limiting you, what flipping can look like in a variety of markets, and what you need instead of timing to succeed.  And if this episode lights a fire under you... The waitlist for House Flip Blueprint—a proven system to find, fund, renovate, and sell profitable flips without sacrificing style or sanity is now open. You don't have to choose between profit and quality. You can flip homes that stand out—and sell fast. Join the waitlist here and unlock exclusive bonuses.        

If you've ever found yourself buried under “should-dos” and 30-point checklists before you even think about flipping a house, this episode is for you. I'm taking it back to basics and walking you through the simplest, most effective way to start flipping in 2025—even if you've never done it before. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down the exact framework I'd follow if I were starting from scratch today. We'll talk about why your market matters more than your renovation, how to choose funding before you even look at a property, the design strategies that actually sell houses (and won't blow your budget), and how to systematize the whole thing so you're not reinventing the wheel every time. I even share the five key “F”s that make up my flipping structure—and no, I didn't plan for them to all start with F, but here we are.

You know that moment when you realize you're tired of just thinking about flipping houses and actually want to do it? That's exactly what we're talking about in this episode. I'm taking you behind the curtain and sharing the mindset shifts, practical steps, and real-deal strategies that helped me go from casually browsing listings to running a full-blown flipping business. We're diving into what it really takes to buy your first intentional flip—especially if you've been stuck in the planning phase (or stuck scrolling Zillow like it's your job). I'll walk you through how to start analyzing deals using real numbers (yep, not just guesses), how to prepare for conversations with lenders, and the critical relationships you need to build before you even write your first offer. If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “perfect” time or thinking you need to know everything before you start, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start moving. Because spoiler alert: you'll never be 100% ready, and you don't need to be. Let's get you unstuck and into action.

  Let's talk about the one thing no one wants to admit is holding them back: fear. In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation that started during one of my Luxe Flip Collective membership calls—what began as a simple chat about pricing a flip turned into something so much deeper. We uncovered how fear (yes, even sneaky, subtle fear) can influence our decisions in flipping—from offers to finishes to contractor choices and listing prices. I'll walk you through the ways fear shows up in the flipping process and how it can quietly chip away at your confidence and your profits if you're not careful. And trust me, even after 250+ flips, I still get those nervous butterflies. But I've also learned how to build systems, make decisions from data (not doubt), and flip with clarity and confidence.

If you can't run the numbers, you shouldn't be flipping—that's the reality of this business. In this episode, I break down the three key numbers every flipper needs to know: purchase price, renovation costs, and after-repair value. I'll walk you through a five-minute formula that helps you quickly decide if a deal is worth your time or if you should move on. I also cover common mistakes, like underestimating reno costs and ignoring hidden expenses like permits, holding costs, and agent fees. Plus, I explain why the 70% rule isn't always realistic and how to adjust your numbers to stay competitive without killing your profit. This episode is for you if you want to make faster, smarter flipping decisions.

Working with contractors can make or break a flip, and in this episode, I'm diving into how to find the right ones, avoid costly mistakes, and keep your projects on track. If you've ever dealt with delays, unexpected costs, or a contractor who suddenly stops answering calls, you know how frustrating it can be. I'll walk you through the biggest hiring mistakes to avoid, how to vet contractors properly, and why a detailed contract is non-negotiable. I also cover where to find reliable contractors, how to set clear expectations, and why tying payments to progress (not just dates) is a game changer. Plus, I share tips on keeping job sites professional and maintaining strong relationships with your team. If you want to stop chasing down contractors and start running smoother projects, this episode is for you.

In this episode of My Flipping Life, I'm breaking down what's working in house flipping right now and what's not. I know we're still early in the year, but I'm already seeing clear trends in the market. I'll talk about why move-in-ready homes are still in demand, what buyers are willing to pay for, and how location plays a huge role in success. I'll also share how I choose which areas to flip in and why higher-end flips are gaining traction. On the flip side, I'll go over common mistakes that can sink a deal—like cutting corners on renovations, overpricing a home, or assuming appreciation will make up for overpaying.
