My secret strategy that resulted in a huge payday, a Jeep, and Africanized killer bees. A group of us were on the phone yesterday discussing a favorite question that has helped me to identify if there are more properties in the estate than what is recorded in the court records. On the call, I was
Remember the probate property I told you about a while back that not only had to have the laterals replaced (which ran UNDER the foundation of the ENTIRE HOUSE) but also got broken into and robbed? I finally got around to putting it up for sale and received over 27 offers in less than a
My son has grown up rehabbing houses that even his friends have gotten to jump in on the action. My kids have grown up rehabbing houses right alongside me. Kathy and I homeschool our kids so we’ve always been able to shift our schedules around so we can at time work as a family. And
Once in a while I have a property under contract that I just cannot wholesale.I currently have a property under contract and although the numbers were tight, I felt that I could still assign the contract because of it’s ideal location.It’s one of those houses that’s in the best school district and in the most
Just wanted to share a quick funny story with you about something that happened to me this week. One of my Probate Fox students is doing a rehab on a property they picked up and wanted my opinion on the kitchen layout. I’m always looking for an excuse to get out of the office so
This week I was made aware of an unexpected plumbing problem on one of my flips that’s going to cost me upwards of fifteen thousand dollars to fix. It turns out the lateral was rotted out from the street all the way to the back of the house. The fix? We’re going to have to replace

I am an 80s child and one of my favorite programs was the…A-Team.A popular phrase on this show was“I love it when a plan comes together”and that’s exactly what happened this past weekend. The team put together three deals from one seller.Our seller was a US marshal who’s also in the defense and weapons business
I was just about done with this flip when after a heavy season of rain my backyard was left with an overgrown backyard full of weeds. Typically that doesn’t stop me from putting a house on the market; however this neighborhood is known to be filled with rattlesnakes and just recently a child was reported to be
I’m writing to you from the air as I’m in route to Chicago. When I’m in a plane, I often get to just and have some quiet time. I was just thinking about yesterday’s adventures and I’m reminded about all the abundance in products and business that I saw. Since my real estate business has
