Ep. 27: From Flips to Small Multifamily Cashflow with Tyler Sheff


Listen Later

After a career as a police officer, Tyler Sheff began flipping houses with tremendous success. However, he did not anticipate the crushing tax bill, which forced him to rethink his strategy. Now Tyler invests in small multifamily properties for cash flow in both Tampa, Florida and Memphis, Tennessee. He is a licensed real estate agent, problem solver, educator, investor, syndicator and the founder of CashFlowGuys.com. On today's show, he talks about his strategies, how he invests from afar in Memphis and why Tampa is so hot that buyers are getting into fistfights over properties.
