I was digging into some new data, and there are some very interesting trends happening right now… 👉 The Midwest and Northeast are taking the lead for flippers in 2026 Even more interesting?📊 71% of flippers are expanding their investment business this year So where is the opportunity actually going? Here are a few standout markets: 📍 Cleveland, OH — Entry points starting around $50K 📍 Hartford, CT — Ranked Zillow’s #1 hottest market for 2026 📍 Buffalo, NY — Seeing 15.6% YoY appreciation 📍 St. Louis, MO — Strong duplex cash flow potential Why these markets? - Lower purchase prices = more room for profit - Strong rental demand - Less competition than major metros But here’s the part most people get wrong… 💡 The best market isn’t always the hottest one — it’s the one you understand best. Your own backyard can often be your biggest advantage because you: - Know the neighborhoods - Can walk properties - Build a local team faster - Spot deals others miss Trends are great — but skills > location every time. 🎥 I’m thinking about breaking down some of these markets on YouTube — showing real deals, comps, and what actually makes sense. 💬 Drop a market below you want me to break down next 👇Let’s find some deals together. 🚀 Source: https://www.kiavi.com/blog/the-7-best-fix-and-flip-markets-for-2026?utm_source=Instagram&utm_medium=Organic%20Social&utm_campaign=202603-BLOG-MIX-Best_Fix_and_Flip_Market_Blog&utm_content=Blog_Evergreen_Bridge_Resource&m_mdm=Organic%20Social&m_src=Instagram&m_cpn=202603-BLOG-MIX-Best_Fix_and_Flip_Market_Blog&m_prd=Direct&m_ct=HTML&m_t=Blog&m_cta=Read%20More

One of the most overlooked questions in real estate investing: where does your capital live while you're waiting to deploy it? Most people let it sit in a Savings account earning 0.05%. That's dead money. And in a market where deals take months to materialize — you're leaving serious yield on the table. Here's the framework I use for capital that's earmarked for real estate but not yet deployed: The 3 rules for staging capital: ① It must be liquid. You need to move fast when the right deal shows up. No CDs, no 6-month lockups. ② It must be earning yield. Even at a 3–4% APY, $100K earns ~$400/month sitting still. That's real money compounding while you wait. ③ It must be FDIC-insured. This is dry powder, not a bet. Keep it safe. The solution I've been using and recommending is a High Yield Savings Account (HYSA). Specifically, I've been using Wealthfront's cash account — it checks every box: competitive APY, FDIC coverage up to $8M through partner banks, and same-day liquidity. Think of a HYSA as your real estate deal fund that earns its keep while it waits. Every month your capital sits idle earning 5% is a month your acquisition costs are being partially offset — before you even close. This is especially powerful during the due diligence phase. Instead of rushing a deal because your cash feels "stuck," you can be patient, selective, and let the right opportunity come to you — all while getting paid to wait. If you're not already doing this, this is one of the easiest wins in your capital stack. Takes 5 minutes to set up. I set up my account through Wealthfront — use the link below and you'll get a rate boost for the first few months (good deal while rates are still elevated): 👉 https://www.wealthfront.com/c/affiliates/invited/AFFD-UF9Q-Z8FB-S09E Drop a comment if you have questions about how I structure my capital stack at different stages of a deal cycle — happy to break it down.

Most investors save for years to buy one property. The BRRRR method lets you recycle the same capital — over and over. Here's a real deal I closed. No fluff — just the numbers. The breakdown: Purchase: $186,000 Rehab: $6,500 ARV: $300,000 Refinance: $225,000 Cash pulled out: $20,000 Monthly rent: $2,000 Monthly cash flow: $150 I bought this property under market, put in a light rehab, got it rented, then refinanced at the new appraised value. The bank handed me back $20,000 cash — and I still walk away with $150/month in cash flow. That $20k goes straight into the next deal. That's how you scale without saving up for years between properties. If you want to see how this works with your numbers — drop a comment or DM me. I break this down step-by-step with members inside the mentorship. If you think you're ready for the next step you can also book a call here: https://calendly.com/tiiffxny/new-meeting?month=2025-08

I had a really interesting conversation with one of my students this week. We’ve been actively looking at auction properties together, running numbers, and even placing a few bids. He was fully set on going the traditional auction route… Then he came to me and said: 👉 “I think I want to switch strategies and try house hacking instead.” And my response? Let’s do it. Honestly, I was excited — because I’ve personally house hacked multiple times, and it can be an incredible way to get started in real estate. Instead of forcing him to stay in a box that didn’t feel right, we: - Shifted the plan toward house hacking - Started breaking down what a good deal looks like for that strategy - Talked through financing options and setup - Built a roadmap that actually fits his situation Because at the end of the day… 👉 The goal isn’t to follow a strategy. The goal is to build a portfolio that works for YOU. This is exactly why I structure my 1-on-1 coaching the way I do. It’s not: - Pre-recorded modules with no flexibility - One rigid strategy for everyone - Generic advice that may or may not apply to you It’s hands-on, personalized, and built around your goals. Whether that’s: - Auction properties - House hacking - Rentals - Flips We build it out together. If you’ve been: - Overthinking which strategy to choose - Going back and forth on what makes sense for you - Or just want guidance so you don’t waste time going in the wrong direction 👉 Book a call through the link and let’s map out a strategy that actually fits you.
