What do you have?
What do you need?

And if you're just getting started

Fix-and-flip is the thing I love most and I'll talk about it for an hour without noticing. So here's exactly how this works, said plainly, because I've spent years not saying it and it hasn't served anybody, least of all the people I was trying to help.

The first conversation is free. Always. Fifteen minutes, we get to know each other, you ask what's actually on your mind. You're staring at a deal and can't tell if it's good or if you just want it to be. A contractor's number smells wrong. You have money and no idea where to start. Ask. No charge, no pitch, and you owe me nothing afterward.

Want the basics before we talk? I wrote out how the money on a first flip actually works: what to know before you spend a dollar, how hard money works, what lenders want when you have no experience, and two real closings, line by line. Your First Flip: How the Money Actually Works.

A question is free. Real work on your deal is a partnership.

If you've got a live deal and you need me in it, let's JV. That's usually the right answer and it's the one I'd rather have. You bring the deal, I bring what I bring, and I take a piece of the outcome instead of a fee. I only make money if you do. That's a cleaner arrangement than any invoice, and it means my advice costs you nothing if I turn out to be wrong.

And when a JV doesn't fit: you don't want a partner, or it isn't that kind of deal, then it's a working session. An hour or two inside your actual file: your numbers, your seller, your exit. $149. Not for a conversation. For the work.

Let me be honest about why I'm drawing that line in public, because it isn't really about money. I have a bad habit. A fifteen-minute call becomes an hour, and somewhere in there I stop answering a question and start doing the work, and I've done that for years without ever saying so.

Two things so nobody has to wonder. I don't sell mentorship. No course, no program, no $30,000 package, and there never will be. And I'm not going to nickel you for a question. I got help when I was starting and it mattered. That part stays free, permanently.

Found a deal but not sure how to close it?

You found the deal, but you don't know how to get it to the finish line. You need someone who actually does that. Reach out. This is what I do, and I do it all the time. You bring the deal, and I help you get it to closing with the real numbers: the offer, cash or terms, and the conversations with the seller or the agent, right there with you until it closes.

Two things before you reach out:

The seller is motivated. A name and an address on a list is a lead. A deal is a seller who actually wants to sell and has a reason to: a move, a job, an inheritance, a house that needs too much work. Everyone's reason is different, but there has to be one.

You've already talked with the seller or the agent. Please don't send me a link unless you've already had a conversation with them.

If you have both, we usually do it as a JV. I take a piece of the outcome, not a fee, so I only get paid if the deal closes. And if the property fits my buy box, I might buy the deal myself.

Collaboration over competition.

This business is full of people who treat every other investor as a threat. Guard the deal, guard the seller, guard the contractor, guard the lender. I've never understood it.

If you buy in my market, I'd rather know you than avoid you. I've handed deals to people who could do more with them than I could. I've made introductions with nothing in it for me and never mentioned it again. I've told someone their structure was better than mine and helped them run it.

Not because I'm noble about it. Because the bottleneck in this business was never other investors. It's finding people you can actually trust with a seller who's frightened, a contractor who's honest, an attorney who's done this before. Every person I know who's genuinely good at this got there by being the kind of person other people wanted to work with, not by hoarding.

So if we're supposed to be competitors: come say hello anyway. Worst case, we know each other. Best case, you have what I need and I have what you need, and neither of us knew it until we spoke.

How I'd rather lose your business than your money.

I run the whole number. Lender fees, cost of borrowing, how long we hold, both closings, commissions, insurance. Most people never add it all up. You make the money at the buy, not the sell.

I'll tell you no. Fast, and to your face, and about my own deals. The most useful thing I can do for a capital partner is kill a deal before it costs them.

Want me to run yours? Before you send an offer, we go through your numbers together, line by line: price, ARV, rehab, holding and exit. One hour, $149, and you leave with GO, TIGHT or PASS before you commit a dollar.
