Academy Students to Successful Investors
Welcome back to another episode of Raising the Flipping Bar! Most investors talk about deals in terms of numbers — purchase price, ARV, margin. That's step one. But there's a whole other layer to real estate that doesn't show up on a spreadsheet: the feeling a home creates, and the story behind why someone chooses to redevelop it in the first place.

I walk through exactly how we found the deal throu...
