The Science of Flipping

Why Bigger Isn’t Better — How to Scale Smarter, Convert More, and Keep More Profit


Listen Later

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest myths in real estate investing — that bigger is always better. After 18 years in the game, I’ve learned that chasing more leads, building bigger teams, and spending more on marketing doesn’t automatically mean more profit. In fact, it can crush your margins. I share how focusing on lead conversion, leveraging tech like LeadDetector.io, Rocketly CRM, and AI-driven data, and running a lean, efficient operation can make you way more money with fewer people. My goal is to show you that you don’t need a massive team or huge overhead to hit $100K months — you just need the right systems, the right mindset, and the discipline to focus on profit over vanity metrics.
