And these houses will bring in roughly a million dollars for me that I wouldn't have made otherwise.That one thing took my business to a whole new level.But I've realized that this is still just the beginning. In many ways, I'm living a life of mediocrity, not living up to my full potential… and it's time to change that. What about you?

HFHQ 86: How to Flip Houses Without Seeing Them (It’s Easier Than You Think)

Listen to This EpisodeOn the previous episode of the House Flipping HQ Podcast, I told you I would break down how to buy houses without ever seeing them.  Today, I’m going to do my best to do that.This is how I buy houses in other cities and states where I’ve never been.  Enjoy!Episode 86: Show NotesA few takeaways from today’s episode.Real estate is awesome.  You can get the rights to something that will allow you to make money, without really taking on much risk, if any.There’s really almost no risk whatsoever when putting a house under contract (assuming you have the right contingencies in place).A quick note about education—yes, you need to get educated to do this business, but the majority of people are way overthinking it.  Don’t make it so difficult for yourself.  Flipping houses is easier than you might think.The people who struggle the most in this business are often those who know “everything” about working on houses, because they get in their own way.Your goal should be to fire yourself.  Your goal should be to do as little as possible to run your business.  The less you can do, the more successful you’re going to be—I’m serious!You can have money, or you can have excuses.  You can’t have both.  If you’re making excuses, that’s why you don’t have money.I’ve said it before.  You CAN do this business.  Get some education, and learn what you need to know to keep yourself safe, but then get out there and take action, action, action.Links and ResourcesHere are a few more resources to check out about flipping a high volume of houses without seeing them.Check out my article 5 Ways to Streamline the Rehab Process.Read this summary of one of our biggest weeks for acquisitions, How We Put 12 Houses Under Contract in 1 Week.Like what you hear?

(click here to listen to the episode).  This organization conducts raids and rescue missions to save children who have been abducted and sold into sex slavery around the world.  The work they do is intense, dangerous, and extremely important, and this year, we’re committed to raising $60,000 to fund one of their missions.The proceeds from flipping this house will go to support this effort.  But we need YOUR help, too.If you’ve enjoyed this podcast or gotten any value from it, I would ask that you consider donating to O.U.R. through our fundraising campaign, Flip for Freedom.  I’m going to match any and all contributions made through this campaign.  Click here to contribute.Episode 83: Show NotesMindset is such an important factor when it comes to success in any aspect of life.  You have to believe you can accomplish your goals and dreams, or you won’t.Don’t be afraid to reach out to others with the goal of learning from them.Model the successful people you want to be like.  Find the people in your life who have achieved what you want to achieve and surround yourself with them.Links and ResourcesEpisode 74 of the podcast is my original interview with Dutch Turley, one of the leaders of Operation Underground Railroad.  Click here to listen to it.Please consider making a donation to support the work that Operation Underground Railroad is doing.  Click here to contribute.Like what you hear?
