Everyone sees a six-figure wire… but that’s not what you actually walk away with.
In this episode, I close the loop on my first flip and break down what really happened after the $155K wire hit my account.
I share:
Where the money actually went
What had to be paid back (401k loan, holding costs, credit cards)
Why this deal netted around $80K, not $155K
How leverage and liquidity changed everything for me
Why this deal was a turning point — mentally and financially
This isn’t about flexing numbers. It’s about understanding leverage, risk, and why one transaction can completely change your position.
If you’re a beginner investor, W-2 employee, or someone wondering if real estate is actually worth it — this episode is for you.
