Most people think doing the work themselves will save money on a flip.
Tom Bell thought the same thing.
Until a “quick” 6-week rehab turned into 5 months of nights, weekends, and missed deals.
This week on The Bottom Line, I sat down with Tom, one of our 7 Figure Runway members, who came back to real estate after COVID wiped out his rental income.
He’s not 25.
He’s not looking to quit his job tomorrow.
He just wanted to build income on his terms, stay active in retirement, and not rely on a 401(k) to get there.
We unpack his first flip, the timeline mistake he regrets, and how he’s fixing it on his next deal.
When you’re stuck doing everything yourself, you lose time, energy, and deal flow.
Tom’s now rebuilding the right way by tracking his numbers, hiring the right people, and planning his flips like a business owner, not a contractor.
That’s exactly what we train inside 7 Figure Runway.
A step-by-step system for serious beginners to:
- Build a repeatable deal pipeline
- Avoid the DIY trap
- And scale without burning out
