7FF 304: Your #1 Threat is Yourself: How to Break Through Your Own Limits

December 17, 2019

About This Episode

4 years ago, we started the original 7 Figure Flipping mastermind group.

(Which is now called 7 Figure Altitude).

One of the first members of the group was a retired NYPD officer named Joe Cordes.

Joe got into real estate investing at the young age of 23.

He bought a rental with his brother, fixed it up, and held it for a while.

But then he stopped.

He didn’t do another real estate deal for 25 years.

He would sometimes look for properties and even made a few offers from time to time, but he was “nervous,” he says.

There weren’t many good ways to learn the business.

And the people in his life… his friends and family and coworkers… they weren’t investors or entrepreneurs, so he didn’t have anyone he could turn to for help.

But after retiring from the NYPD, he decided to get into flipping.

He flipped a house and made some money.

Then he flipped another house and broke even.

Then he flipped a third house and lost money.

And at that point, Joe understood that he was flying blind and needed a different approach.

He needed to get around a circle of people who could help him learn.

That’s when he found 7 Figure Flipping.

And the rest is history, right?

Well… no.

Joe’s story actually has a couple more twists and turns…

And he’s learned some powerful stuff along the way.

That’s why I asked him to join me on today’s episode of the podcast.
