About This Episode

If you want to flip houses without using your own money to buy or renovate them, do what Ralph Rivera did.


A couple months ago he jumped into the $500k Challenge…


And in just 30 days he raised an incredible $2.3 MILLION dollars of “private funding” for his house flipping business.


This is OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY.


(Not his own cash.)


Here’s the whole story of how he got these funds and what he learned in the $500k Challenge!


Listen in now!


Leading up to Flip Hacking LIVE, I held a “live version” of the $500k Challenge for the first time in years… and I made it a competition to see who could raise the most private money in 30 days.


Ralph was the winner with his awesome $2.3M haul…


But SO MANY OTHER people also hit incredible numbers.
