Flipping America

FAR 145 Expected Air Date: 04/23/18 Opening Hello everyone. What a great day we had Saturday at FlipStarter Atlanta! It was my honor to share some of my best secrets for Fixing and Flipping Houses to the group there and welcome new members into the Flipping America Mentoring Program. If you couldn’t make it we missed you and I want you to know that later today I’m going to put up a link on our home page that will give you the opportunity to buy the FlipStarter workshop on video. So head over to FlippingAmericaNetwork.com and check it out. Speaking of the Mentoring Program, our next Three Day training camp is coming up May 9-11 and it’s not too late for you to join us. However, since our program is invitation-only, you have to jump through a couple of hoops in order to receive that invitation. Hey it’s not like getting into law school or anything but we just need to talk. You can schedule a call with me by going to your web browser and typing this in exactly: bit.ly/TalktoRoger When you do that you’ll have acc

FAR 144 Expected Air Date: 04/18/18 Opening Hello everyone. Last time we talked about getting started in Real Estate Investing. Today I’m going to continue the topic with a program titled “Hitting Your Stride.” The phrase “hitting your stride” is an expression that means you have reached an optimum pace that you can maintain easily and where you function optimally and competently. This is a big part of your goal in your career -- any career, but especially so in owning your own business. When you hit your stride in the real estate business you will have mastered a set of techniques and an asset class to the point that you can conduct your analysis mostly with your eyeballs and your brain. Yes, you will still continue to use the analytical tools that got you there, but they will be your backup, not your primary analytical approach. For example, if you are fixing and flipping houses, you will be able to estimate repairs by simply looking at pictures of the house or in some cases by merely driving by. You’ll kno

FAR 143 Expected Air Date: 04/16/18 Opening Good morning everyone and welcome to another week of real estate investing news, trends, markets, movers and shakers. Today we are going to focus on one of the top questions we get here at Flipping America. In a few moments I’m going to break down the things you need to consider to figure out your best “fit” in real estate investing.

FAR 142 Expected Air Date: 04/14/18 Opening Hello everyone. Today we are excited to be joined in a few moments by Peter Pasternack, former star of A&E’s Flip This House. Still an active investor in Atlanta, Peter has taken time from his busy schedule to join us this evening at Flipping Atlanta, the local networking group sponsored by Flipping America (crowd yell). Growing up in Connecticut, Peter Pasternack came by his entrepreneurial spirit very early on. Peter’s parents owned and operated a Dunkin’ Donuts location as well as a fast food restaurant in the West Hartford area. From an early age Peter had a knack for numbers as he assisted his father with payroll for both businesses, even processing payroll checks himself starting at age 5 when his parents were away for vacations. Peter’s love of numbers lead him to the University of Georgia where he earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in accounting. Upon graduation he began his career at Price Waterhouse in Atlanta before transitioning to the banking

FAR 141 Expected Air Date: 04/12/18 Opening Hello everyone. If you’re going to be in business, whether it’s the real estate business or any other business you are going to develop relationships with two types of professionals, legal and financial. You need the legal professionals because so much of our work has to do with transactions, contracts, and occasionally the unfortunate choices of others that harm us or take from us. You need the financial professionals - bookkeepers, accountants, and CPAs to help us keep good records, pay all the taxes we owe and provide accountability to our investors and partners. I freely admit quite often that I started into this business without a clue of what I was doing or what goes on behind the scenes in a real estate transaction. At first I was too embarrassed to admit this, so I faked it. Finally I sat down with an attorney and asked him for some help. Today I want to give you some of that help and encourage you to reach out to an attorney in your area. Now you know that

FAR 139 Expected Air Date: 04/05/18 Opening Hello everyone. We’ve had some truly great guests on the show in the past few weeks and I’ve learned a lot from them and have been inspired by them. But you my dear friends have many questions and many of you communicate with us about how much you enjoy the questions and answers. It’s been awhile since we reached into the metaphorical mail bag and the questions we want to address on the air have been piling up. So in a bit we are going to take a look. We are going to deal with the issue of whether or not you need to be a Realtor in order to be in this business. I’ll do some pros and cons on that subject. We also have received a few questions about getting more deals in your inbox so I’ll be sharing a strategy about that.

FAR 138 Expected Air Date: 04/02/18 Opening Good morning everyone! It’s great to be with you for another week of real estate talk and information. On this show we try to give you the best and most complete information you need in order to make good decisions about real estate, real estate investments, and your role in it. Part of your decision making process on every project has to do with style, color, and design. In a few moments we have an expert in these issues, Carla Gamper, coming along to help us think about these issues and the larger issues of project and contractor management. Carla grew up with tools in her hand, working on a farm and later getting formal training in design. She has invested her career in the real estate space, doing design and contracting work and now focuses on consulting. She will be along in a few minutes to share with us.

FAR 137 Expected Air Date: 03/31/18 Opening We are keeping the string of truly great shows going. In just a few moments we are going to be joined by Don DeRosa an Atlanta investor who has done hundreds of flips, now teaches and mentors others, and as you will hear, is on top of technology and how it can work for real estate investors like no one I’ve ever seen. The guy is a walking encyclopedia of apps, processes, and solutions all designed to help investors maximize their time, minimize the paperwork, and do a better job with their projects.   How to Reach us www.flippingamericanetwork.com Facebook.com/flippingamericamedia Twitter and Instagram @FlippingAmerica YouTube: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnYouTube Linkedin: bit.ly/FlippingAmericaOnLinkedIn Call our National Comment Line: 404-369-1018, ext 1.
