7FF 303: What Tanya Learned from Flipping Her First House (While Working a Full Time Job)

December 12, 2019

About This Episode

If you’re working on your first flip…

And you have a full-time job…

…then this is for you.

(Actually, there are some big takeaways here for EVERYONE, no matter your experience level.)

For the past month or so, I’ve been interviewing some of our 7 Figure Runway and 7 Figure Altitude members, asking them to share their stories, their struggles, and their success.

I want you to learn from them.

I want you to get inspired.

But more than that, I want you to get to know them.

There are some truly amazing, driven, genuine people in our mentoring groups…

…and Tanya Rooney is a shining example.

She started her real estate investing journey about a year ago.

Her first flip took about 6 months from the time she bought it to the time she sold it.

And on today’s episode of the podcast, she’s sharing not just what she learned from that first flip but also a ton of other takeaways, including…

…and more.

Let’s dive in!
