In this episode of The Science of Flipping, Justin sits down with longtime REI Live member Joey Mack — an engineer who burned the boats, left his W-2 job, and built a portfolio managing over 130 units. Joey shares how he closed his first deal with no experience, why relationships outperform marketing, and the mindset that turned small wins into real wealth. They discuss imperfect action, follow-up systems, building a rental portfolio, and why “passive” income isn’t truly passive. If you’re ready to go from learning to earning, this episode will show you the path forward.

With over $85M in retail sales, $8M+ in personal real estate holdings, and a team of 8 agents under his belt, Cameron has built a real estate empire using creative finance strategies — and he's just getting started. He opens up about his rough upbringing, how he started flipping cars and fridges in high school, and how his drive and hustle turned into a thriving business in Oklahoma City. We talk about everything from lease options, non-QM loans, and scaling with systems, to building a replicable model for agents and investors alike. Cameron drops wisdom on intrinsic motivation, mentorship, leadership, and even his philosophy on dopamine, discipline, and avoiding burnout. It’s one of the most honest, raw, and inspiring episodes we’ve ever done.

In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I share powerful insights from a panel I recently joined at the IMN conference, where we tackled one of the hottest topics in the industry right now: AI in real estate. From hedge fund managers to mom-and-pop investors, everyone’s asking the same thing—will AI take over our space? My answer: no, but it will play a massive role. I break down the areas where AI is helping (like underwriting and tenant screening), and the places where it simply can’t replace human judgment—like negotiation, construction, and title. I also share a personal story about buying my home that underscores why human interaction will always matter. If you're a real estate pro, this episode is your wake-up call to use AI as a tool—not a replacement.

In this episode, I sat down with Isabelle Guarino—aka the Boss Lady of Senior Living—to pull back the curtain on one of the most under-talked-about wealth-building strategies out there: residential assisted living (RAL). If you’re like me, deep in the real estate game but never touched senior housing, this episode is going to blow your mind. Isabel breaks down how you can create $10K, $20K, even $40K/month cash flow with one single-family home—without being a caregiver or medical professional. We talk about the myth-busting behind ALFs, how to convert or acquire them, where the real money is, and how to do good while doing well. Whether you want to flip one or build a 50-home empire, Isabel shows you the path, step by step. I’m seriously reevaluating my own portfolio after this one.

In this powerful episode of The Science of Flipping, I’m joined by sales powerhouse and self-proclaimed “data nerd” Benmont Locker. We tackle a mindset shift most investors desperately need: sales is senior to marketing. If you’re torching cash on leads but have no clear sales system, you’re doomed to chaos and burnout. Ben breaks down how his team has closed thousands of deals by obsessing over a consistent, repeatable sales process — one that could plug into any industry.

We dig into:

Why scripts alone won’t save you — you need a framework that builds trust, uncovers real emotion, and closes deals with integrity.

The 5-step sales sequence every investor needs: set expectations, build trust, qualify/disqualify, present options, and close strong.

How to use pattern interrupts and “creating space” — virtually and in person — to get the deal done.

Ben’s unique take on giving sellers the “Disney Experience” — delivering unmatched value so price becomes secondary.

Why too many people hide behind busy work instead of sharpening their sales sword.

How introverts, data geeks, and self-doubters can transform into confident closers by leaning on proven systems and community accountability.

We also get real about what’s stopping you — self-sabotage, victim mindset, and waiting for the perfect plan. If you’ve ever felt stuck or “not good enough,” Ben’s story and framework will light a fire under you.
