7FF 270: Why MISTAKES Are the Best Teachers (and How This Former Teacher 5X'd Her House Flipping Business)

September 6, 2019

About This Episode

We all make mistakes in the flipping / wholesaling business.

It’s inevitable…

And it’s a GOOD thing.

Without mistakes, we can’t grow.

Amanda learned this firsthand.

She was a teacher for 21 years and started flipping houses on the side to supplement her income.

She got to the point where she was doing about 3 or 4 deals per year.

But the workload was starting to get out of hand.

She was managing rentals, flipping houses, working as a teacher and a counselor, being a single mom to her kids…
