Lost $100K on His First Flip—Now He Closes 30 Deals a Month and Owns a $20M Portfolio | Tommy Harr
In this episode, I sat down with Tommy Harr—a friend, powerhouse investor, and someone I respect deeply in the real estate game. Tommy shares how he went from losing $100K on his very first flip to owning over $20 million in real estate and consistently closing 30+ deals a month. We talked about the gritty lessons that built his empire—cold calling, TV ads, building a sales team, and mastering construction. He also opens up about the sacrifices he made early on, like living in his own living room, and how social media became a powerful tool for raising millions in private capital. If you're trying to go from stuck to scaling, this one’s a real blueprint.
