36 Showings in 3 Weeks & Grandma Still Tanked the Deal

In this episode, I'm breaking down another Deal Analysis — one of my favorite formats on this show because it's not guru talk, it's real numbers from a real deal we just closed. This one turned into a wild ride: a rough Arvada property that wasn't ready for the market, a textbook acquisitions process, a tight rehab budget, and a sales process that had 36 showings in three weeks before a buyer's grandma tanked the first contract three days in. I walk through exactly how we found the deal throu...

From 10X Growth to Lifestyle Business: Which is Best?

In this episode, I break down the two paths I see people taking in real estate and entrepreneurship: the high-growth business model versus the lifestyle business model. I talk about what each path really looks like, the trade-offs involved, and how to think strategically about where you are in your current season of life and business. I also share some personal reflections about building ELEVATION over the years, what scaling a company actually requires, the importance of systems and delegation,

Is Flipping Dead in 2026?

In this episode, I’m tackling a question I hear all the time—is flipping dead in 2026? Short answer: not even close. But the game has changed. I break down what I’m seeing right now in the Denver market, where the real opportunities are, and how smart investors are still finding profitable deals despite tighter margins and increased competition. This isn’t about guessing—it’s about using real data, understanding market dynamics, and making strategic decisions that actually work in today’s env...

From Polar Bear to Unicorn: The Real Estate Agent Role That Can Change Your Career

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different.

Right now, deal flow isn’t the issue. The real challenge is having the right people in place to handle the volume, convert opportunities, and continue pushing the business forward without slowing momentum. After recently expanding the team with high-p...

Do Hedge Funds Really Own All the Homes? The Data Says No.

Welcome back to Raising the Flipping Bar. In this episode, I wanted to slow things down and talk about something dominating headlines — institutional buyers, hedge funds, and Wall Street “owning all the homes.” There’s a lot of noise, fear, and political rhetoric around this topic. So instead of reacting emotionally, I wanted to look at the actual data and break down what’s really happening — nationally and here in Metro Denver. I’m not here to get political. I am here to be factual. Drawing ...

Private Money Lending Explained: How Smart Investors Win in 2026

Welcome back to Raising the Flipping Bar. In this episode, I wanted to slow things down and talk about something that’s coming up more and more in my day-to-day conversations — private money lending. As we head into 2026, deal flow isn’t the problem. The real challenge is being properly capitalized and structuring deals in a way that protects downside while still creating strong returns. That’s where private money comes in. I break down exactly what private money lending is, how it’s differen...
