Stephanie was a successful food service entrepreneur who started flipping homes to prepare for retirement. In just under two years, she went from having zero real estate or construction experience to flipping four properties and making six figures in profit.
This is a deep dive into Stephanie's real estate investing journey — from beginner mistakes to big wins. You'll learn how she went from failed wholesale deals to profitable fix-and-flips, what she did right, what she'd do differently, and the exact strategies she used to find, fund, renovate, and sell her deals.
👷♀️ What You'll Learn From Stephanie in This Video
- How Stephanie made $40,000 on her first house flip
- How long project timelines can kill your profit — and what to do about it
- The real cost of permits and why she now pulls them herself
- Why she stopped using general contractors and started managing subs directly
- Her numbers: purchase price, renovation costs, sale price, and projected profits
- The planning and permitting problems that almost derailed her fourth flip
- How Stephanie overcame roadblocks using networking and flexible problem-solving
- How the Real Estate Skills community helped her scale faster with less risk!
Stephanie's story proves that anyone can succeed in real estate investing with the right mindset, community, and training. She didn't start with a background in real estate. She didn't have construction experience. But she made the smart move of investing in herself and leveraging the tools and support from Real Estate Skills to grow fast.
⚠️ Lessons From the Field
- Be cautious about scope creep — extra features and upgrades eat into profit
- Don't rely on one contractor for every project
- Always double-check permit requirements and ownership issues when using LLCs
- Time is money — every delay adds to your holding costs
- Learn to manage your own project or risk losing control
