Property Profits Real Estate Podcast

Flipping is not the path to it when you want time, freedom, and wealth in your real estate business.
But, how do you flip without building another job for yourself and instead create passive income?
Chris Bounds is a real estate investor and Top 0.5% growth leader at eXp Realty with over $65 million in transactions. With his wife Jamie, Chris has used more than $19 million from private lenders and equity partners to flip over 200 properties. Together they have $44 million in assets under management, including close to 400 single-family and multifamily units.
In this episode, Chris advises not to do flipping the traditional way but instead recommends a more clever move to do it without all the headaches while still maximizing your profits.

Key Takeaways:
"Flipping is just another job. These rentals that we held, and when we finally would dispose of them to sell them after a three or five-year window, we made so much more money. And the flips were much more of a headache, a lot of timelines, and then when something went wrong, your margins took a hit. You may even lose money on a deal or two." - Chris Bounds
"It's a monster [Flipping] you must constantly feed to keep the machine running. I'm not against flipping. But at the end of the day, you understand it's a job, and you're not building wealth and passive income flipping." - Chris Bounds
"This is why I tell folks, if you need the money, like flipping, there's nothing wrong with it. But at the end of the day, especially in a low inventory environment, if you have the skill set to find good deals and get them at the prices that make sense, hold as many of them as you can because otherwise, you build a job for yourself." - Chris Bounds

Key Takeaways:
"It takes more than five hours, but when you hone in and master the process, it can really only be five hours from start to finish.” – Bryce McKinley
“The number one problem that people have is two-fold – (1) They just don’t hire a coach, and (2) they tend not to trust the process.” – Bryce McKinley
“I don’t recommend having a massive CRM and a massive direct mail. When you’re first starting out, running lean and running fast is the best way to the money, then taking that money and investing it back in.” – Bryce McKinley
“People make it so much more difficult than what it is. Sure, there’s micro-processes on each step, but if you understand the flow of the deal and the process, all of those other things, you just learn with time and repetition.” – Bryce McKinley
“That one standalone Motivation or Money will never be truly solved if you don’t know what is FOR.” – Bryce McKinley
“I don’t believe that people will always do business with people they know, like, and trust. They do business with people they know, they like, or trust, but they always do business with people that have a similar belief system. When they know that you care, they will care about what you know.” – Bryce McKinley
“It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it.” – Bryce McKinley

"I knew I was doing something wrong. I went out to systematize my business. And that's when the virtual assistants started working. And what I did is I went out to systematize my business. I just simplified every little step of everything that I did. I bought eight hours of my time back." - Abbas Mohammed

"People think that they're special, and they're just this great person that could only do the task. But the reality is, we're all replaceable. If you could do it, why can't somebody else do it? What a lot of people have is that they don't have the right systems in place. And people run their businesses based on their gut feelings, not based on actual procedures where they could just pop somebody in, and they follow the same exact procedures you were doing." - Abbas Mohammed

"We bought our first duplex, and nine months later, we partnered on our first multifamily deal, which was 144 units. Not that we don't want to take a whole lot of credit for that deal, because we didn't do a whole lot except leverage our relationships to provide equity for that deal." - Ellis Hammond
"The thing that I think has made me successful in both arenas [being a pastor and entrepreneur] is the ability to communicate a vision and communicate value to folks." - Ellis Hammond
"I think that confidence and that mindset is the best advice I can give to someone [in raising capital]. See yourself as a person of value. " - Ellis Hammond
