What happens when a busy working mom of three decides to pursue her longtime passion for transforming homes? Ee's remarkable journey from complete beginner to successful house flipper proves that with determination, community support, and the right mindset, anyone can make their real estate dreams a reality.

After joining the Flip Sisters community on what she jokingly called a potentially foolish April 1st, Ee faced months of rejected offers in her expensive Portland market. Rather than give up, she pivoted – expanding her search to Cincinnati, Ohio where she secured her first deal within just one month. Managing a flip remotely might sound intimidating, but Ee built a reliable team on the ground, creating a partnership based on trust and communication that allowed her to successfully navigate the entire process from thousands of miles away.

Despite encountering unexpected challenges during the buyer's inspection, Ee maintained her composure and problem-solving approach. She purchased the property for $93,000, completed renovations just under her $57,000 budget, and sold it for $200,000 – walking away with a $20,000 profit on her very first flip. Even more fulfilling was knowing she'd provided a growing family with their perfect home, aligning perfectly with her deeper motivation for entering real estate.

Ee's story resonates because it's honest about both the obstacles and triumphs of house flipping. She openly shares her moments of fear and self-doubt, revealing how self-talk, community support, and focusing on her "why" helped her develop the resilience needed to succeed. For anyone wondering if they have what it takes to flip houses while balancing other responsibilities, Ee's journey offers a resounding yes – you absolutely can.

What happens when your contractor disappears to Brazil with your deposit money? How do you recover when your "simple" $10,000 renovation balloons to $30,000? Lois takes us behind the glossy before-and-after photos to reveal the messy, beautiful truth about house flipping.

With a background in mortgage financing, Lois understood the numbers side of real estate but hesitated to jump into investing because "it was just too scary." That changed when she joined our community and took action—purchasing her first flip within 90 days. What followed was a journey filled with unexpected challenges, powerful lessons, and remarkable personal growth.

Her candid account of breaking even on her first flip and losing money on her second provides invaluable insights for both novice and experienced investors. From foundation issues that turned out to be simple drainage problems to the emotional high of transforming neglected properties into beautiful homes, Lois shares the unfiltered reality of house flipping. She explains how she discovered she's not risk-averse but "calculated risk friendly," and how this mindset shift transformed her approach to both real estate and life.

Beyond the financial details, Lois reveals the profound personal satisfaction she finds in the transformation process—putting herself in the buyer's shoes, making thoughtful design choices, and giving houses a chance at a new story. Her journey parallels her other surprising life adventures, including joining a college marching band in her fifties and becoming an ultra-runner in her forties after never considering herself athletic.

Whether you're contemplating your first investment or recovering from a challenging flip, Lois's story reminds us that success isn't measured solely by profit margins but by courage, resilience, and the willingness to keep showing up. As she wisely notes, "It's amazing what happens if you just take little steps forward. You'd be shocked at what might happen if you do that."

Leaving people and places better than we find them.

Money shouldn't be what holds you back from flipping houses. That's the powerful message at the heart of this enlightening conversation between Blaire, a Flip Sisters coach, and Kanani, a successful private money lender within the community.

When most people think of private lenders, they imagine wealthy investors with millions at their disposal. Kanani shatters this misconception, revealing how she transformed approximately $300,000 in retirement funds from previous employers into a self-directed IRA specifically for real estate investing. Without touching her family's day-to-day finances or disrupting her fulfilling career, she's funded six house flips across four different states, creating win-win scenarios for both herself and the flippers she partners with.

The conversation takes us through Kanani's journey from retirement account consolidation to her first lending experience during the hectic holiday season. With refreshing honesty, she shares the initial uncertainties, documentation challenges, and relationship-building process that eventually led to multiple successful investments. Particularly illuminating is her explanation of cross-collateralization and how she secures her investments against physical property—a key advantage real estate offers over more speculative investments.

What makes this episode especially valuable is the dual perspective it offers. For those hesitant about house flipping due to financial constraints, it showcases how private money lending makes deals possible. For those with retirement funds seeking better returns than traditional investments, it demonstrates how to put that "monopoly money" to work years before retirement age. The returns? Typically 10-14%, substantially outperforming standard retirement accounts.

Perhaps most powerful is Kanani's candid reflection on investing in herself despite initial skepticism from her spouse. "I wanted to invest in ME," she explains, highlighting how her real estate education has benefited not just her financial future but created opportunities to teach her children about wealth-building while providing tangible benefits for extended family.

Ready to explore how private money lending could transform your house flipping journey or investment strategy? This episode provides the roadmap and inspiration to take that crucial first step.

Leaving people and places better than we find them.

Ever caught yourself driving past a run-down house thinking, "Someone should fix that up"? That's exactly where Brianna Sisk's journey began before she turned that fleeting thought into a $38,471 profit on her very first house flip.

From X-ray technician to midwife-in-training to full-time house flipper and stay-at-home mom, Brianna's story captivates because it's rooted in a challenge we all face: getting out of our own way. For months, she hesitated to announce her new venture, trapped by what others might think in her small Tennessee town. The transformation came when she finally took the leap—within just three days of going public on social media, she had her first potential property.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the detailed breakdown of real numbers and practical solutions. Brianna shares exactly how she purchased a 112-year-old house for $70,000, navigated a full gut renovation despite busted pipes and contractor hiccups, and ultimately sold the property for $225,000 after just seven days on market. Her creative financing approach combining hard money lending with a home equity line of credit offers a blueprint for listeners facing similar funding challenges.

Beyond the impressive profit margins lies the more profound message about trusting yourself and finding community. As Brianna emotionally reflects, "I could not have done this without you ladies... any doubts or issues I had, it was so easy to reach out and I had a whole team just right there giving me answers, giving me encouragement."

Ready to stop being your own stumbling block? This conversation between Coach Sis and Brianna delivers both the tactical tools and the emotional permission slip you need to take that first step. Whether you're considering your first flip or your fiftieth, their candid discussion about scheduling subcontractors, managing timelines, and overcoming imposter syndrome will leave you inspired to turn those "someone should" thoughts into "I will" actions.
