328: What It Really Takes to Flip 100 Houses a Year
from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Chris Burrow, David Lecko
Are you concerned about the increasing costs of marketing diminishing your returns in wholesaling? In this episode, we learn from Chris Burrow, who transitioned beyond initial wholesaling to navigate these challenges. Chris currently focuses on fix and flip projects and manages 60 rental properties as part of his business, aiming for approximately 100 deals annually across these various strategies. Discover how exploring options like fix and flip and long-term rentals can provide more sustainable pathways in a changing market. Here are three more impressive things about Chris Burrow: Chris experienced rapid success after starting in real estate investing in 2018, going from making only $20,000 as a real estate agent in 2017 to quickly closing deals and catching up on debt. He places a strong emphasis on building genuine connections with sellers by listening to their stories and offering solutions based on empathy, contrasting this with the sales-focused approach he felt was inauthentic as an agent. Chris has developed structured systems for his fix and flip business, including a standardized renovation blueprint and a property grading system for efficient underwriting.
