Episode notes
Title Work Unlocks Dropped Deals
- Alejandro realized curative title work resurrects deals that big-box wholesalers drop due to title issues.
- Clearing heirs and title unlocks high-margin opportunities that wholesalers often avoid.
Focus Marketing, Build Systems
- Try focused marketing and avoid chasing every channel at once; Alejandro learned that hiring fast without systems failed.
- Pick one lead source, optimize it, then scale rather than fragmenting efforts.
First Flip Taught Speed Over Yield
- Alejandro shared a first curative flip where they paid heirs $22k, rehabbed for $55k, and netted $75k after a three-month flip.
- He noted they would have likely made $40k quickly by selling as-is and learned to prefer as-is sales for speed.
