If you live in a great home, why move out of it into a lesser one? Currently working on her eleventh flip, Mindy Jensen is a mom, works her day job at biggerpockets.com, and has bought and sold houses live-and-flip style for over two decades.

In this episode, Mindy discusses the process of moving into an ugly house and turning it into a beautiful one through do-it-yourself construction and eye-grabbing kitchens. She also addresses some of the perks of the live-and-flip lifestyle, such as advantageous tax exclusions. Wes and Mindy dig into why real estate is an excellent investment class and cautionary areas for inexperienced buyers, such as overpaying property taxes. They also address loan rates, reverse mortgages, second homes through COVID, and Mindy's preference for local lenders.
