500: 15 High-Margin Deals Per Year in NYC—Here's How

from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Rob Schimmenti, David Lecko, Ryan Haywood

Rob Schimmenti is flipping houses in New York City — one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country — and closing 15 high-margin deals per year primarily through driving for dollars. In this episode, he breaks down his real numbers, how he generated nearly $3M from 26 deals, why his driving-for-dollars list produces bigger spreads than PPC or high-equity lists, how he calculates ROAS, and the simple postcard tweaks that improved his response rates. If you want to compete in a saturated market without a massive team or complicated funnels, this is a practical look at what’s actually working.   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - Rob Schimmenti’s Business 1:42 - Learning From Alex Hormozi 3:28 - His First Deal Under Contract 7:22 - Fractional Ownership Process 10:11 - Finding ROAS & His Next Deal 13:30 - Closing Costs In NY 14:35 - What His Team Looks Like 16:21 - Driving For Dollars 20:28 - D4D vs List Building 23:11 - How He’s Improved His Postcards 26:57 - Where To Find Rob & Closing Thoughts 29:07 - Outro   LINKS: Instagram: Rob Schimmenti https://www.instagram.com/robschimmenti/   Website: Cash 4 Keys https://www.cash4keys.com/   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/
