364: Denied On The Mortgage—Now He Owns 130+ Properties

Henry Washington couldn’t even be on the mortgage for his first home—his credit was so bad he had to be removed from the loan. But instead of giving up, he fixed his credit, got resourceful with funding (including borrowing from his wife’s 401k), and now owns 130+ rental properties and flips houses for $35k–$60k profit. In this episode, Henry and his wife Jessica share the full story of how they scaled, why they’re focused on paying off assets, and how they’re adding land splits, spec builds, and short-term rentals to the mix. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:30 - Henry Washington’s Business1:33 - The Story Of How They Got Started7:38 - Fixing Your Personal Credit10:42 - Getting Their Second Investment Property13:55 - Why He Stopped At 100 Rentals18:01 - Their Numbers With The Flips They’re Doing21:05 - Working Together In The Business & Their Flip Designs23:31 - Their Plots Of Land26:01 - Posting On Social Media To Get Deals27:38 - The Spec Home They’re Looking To Build & New Focuses For Their Business30:45 - What They Want People To Learn From Their Story34:09 - Incorporating AI Into Their Business35:34 - You Can’t Time The Market36:31 - What They Were Doing Before Real Estate40:39 - Close Calls With Deals45:56 - Where To Find Henry46:21 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Henry Washingtonhttps://www.instagram.com/TheHenryWashington/ Website: Closing Table Mastermindhttps://seeyouattheclosingtable.com/home Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/
