Being Flip Savvy: Lessons and Strategies from 70+ Flips


Listen Later

In this episode of Where Should I Invest, host Sarah Larbi sits down with Ryan De Laurentis, an Ontario-based real-estate investor who’s completed more than 70 flips and hundreds of wholesale deals. Ryan shares his no-fluff approach to flipping — from managing renovations and sourcing materials to knowing when to pivot, drop your price, and protect your capital.

He dives deep into the lessons that shaped his rules for flipping and the mindset that keeps him profitable, even in tougher markets. You’ll hear how he learned to prioritize simplicity over perfection, why he believes “cheap sh*t sells” and how humility and discipline are often the most powerful tools in an investor’s toolkit.

Whether you’re new to flipping or ready to scale your business, this episode breaks down the numbers, systems, and strategies that turn good flips into great ones.

What You’ll Learn:
  • The hard lessons that inspired Ryan’s personal rules for flipping
  • Why “cheap sh*t sells” — and how to appeal to the largest buyer pool
  • How to analyze deals realistically and avoid costly surprises
  • Managing trades, renos, and timelines like a pro
  • When to pivot, drop your price, and move on
  • The importance of relationships in getting better deals
  • Why incorporating can save flippers thousands in taxes
  • How Ryan’s Flip Savvycourse and masterclass help investors build repeatable, profitable systems
  • Ryan De Laurentis is a full-time real-estate investor, flipper, and educator based in Ontario, Canada.
