Join me as I sit down with Mark Toro, a seasoned real estate investor, financial advisor, and founder of the Above Asking Investor Community. With nearly two decades in the industry, Mark’s journey from subprime lending to financial advising and eventually to house flipping is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and results. Since 2005, Mark has navigated every corner of the real estate world—weathering market crashes, adapting to changing conditions, and continuously evolving his investment strategies. Today, he leads a thriving investor community in Tampa, Florida, where collaboration, connection, and creativity drive success.

Mark and I discuss:

• His evolution from subprime lending to financial advising to full-time real estate investor
• Why real estate is a financial discipline, not just a transaction
• How to analyze deals through numbers and market trends
• The art of reinventing your strategy to stay ahead of shifting markets
• Over-improving properties and tailoring flips to buyer personas
• How networking and community fuel deal flow and long-term ROI
• Building a powerful meetup group that fosters collaboration among investors
• The mindset required to thrive in real estate during uncertain times
• Why the biggest returns often come from relationships, not just properties
