The Science of Flipping

Why 90% of Your Marketing Budget Feels Wasted (And Why That’s Okay)


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I really view marketing after nearly two decades in the real estate investing game. I’ve spent tens of millions of dollars on marketing, and let me tell you—most people get it wrong. They treat marketing like a cost, not an investment. In this episode, I share what’s actually worked for me, how I think about branding vs. marketing, and why it’s critical to set proper expectations for ROI. I break down different marketing verticals—from cold calling and direct mail to Facebook ads and TV—and explain which ones build brand recognition and which are better for quick lead generation. Whether you’ve got a small or large budget, I’ll help you figure out how to spend smarter and build something that lasts. This is everything I wish someone told me when I got started.
