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.
