This week on the Yoked Podcast, Travis and Ingrid dive into a groundbreaking New Western report showing that local flippers are now outpacing builders in bringing homes to market.

👉 Key insights you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why flippers nearly doubled new build inventory this year (30,852 vs. 18,973).

• How local investors provide more affordable housing options than large-scale builders.

• The real impact of flipping on neighborhoods, families, and affordability.

• Why 93% of flips are done by small local investors—not institutions like BlackRock.

Today, we’re breaking down 17 real-world ways to get out of a tough real estate deal — whether you’re stuck with a bad flip, an unsellable home, or a property you no longer want.

🔑 What You'll Learn:

• When to pivot from selling to renting (and what type of rental makes sense)

• How creative financing (subject-to, wraparound, lease options) can save a deal

• Why failing fast is sometimes the smartest move

• Unique ways to turn a property into cash flow: co-living, glamping, rezoning, & more

• The mindset shift that helped us not feel stuck — even when losing money

🎧 Whether you're a homeowner, flipper, landlord, or burned-out investor — this one’s for YOU.
