Building the Business

Busy, Busy, Busy

October 24, 2011

I haven’t been posting a whole lot the past couple months, though I’m trying to get in a couple posts per week…while it wouldn’t seem that things are overly busy by following this blog, keep in mind that I pretty much only cover our own personal deals here, and not deals where we are assisting [...]

Real Estate License

June 22, 2011

I passed the Georgia real estate licensing exam today! Given that it was exactly one year ago (to the day) that I started the licensing course, it’s about time…
I’m not really sure why I decided to get my license or what I’ll use it for; as most of you probably know, [...]

Branching Out The Business

June 19, 2011

With The Horsey House now sold, The Leak House and The Wrong House under contract to sell in the next two weeks and The Haggle House listed for sale, we’ve essentially run out of work to do on our own properties.
We’ve made quite a few offers over the past couple weeks, but haven’t [...]

Lish Staging Launched!

August 18, 2010

If you’ve been following this blog for any period of time, you probably know that my wife handles all of the marketing, sales and staging of our properties. With many years experience managing large marketing teams for Fortune 500 companies, she is by-far the greatest resource our company has. (It’s no coincidence that [...]

123Flip Newsletter

July 29, 2010

I’ve had a Newsletter Signup form on my website for over a year now, and while I’ve had a lot of people sign up, I never started sending our 123Flip.com Newsletter…
I’m planning to change that, and will be starting to send a regular newsletter within the next couple weeks or so. I plan to [...]

Back In The Hunt

July 27, 2010

Spent the weekend looking at a bunch of properties for the first time in a while. I was pleasantly surprised that there were some seemingly good deals out there, but at the same time, when I talked to the listing agents to get their status, it appears many of them either already had offers [...]

Back to Work

June 13, 2010

Sorry the blog has been slow for several weeks now, but it’s been about 6 weeks since the tax credit expired and about 6 weeks since we’ve spent any time thinking about buying and rehabbing properties. But, now that things have settled down with all the tax credit buying and selling, I think we’re [...]

Value of Being an Agent

January 24, 2010

I often get asked the question of whether having your real estate license as an investor is a good idea. I discuss most of the pros and cons in this article, but I wanted to throw out another — real life — data point…
I’m finishing up my taxes for last year, and thought it [...]

Lonnie Deals

September 10, 2009

While this site is primarily geared towards flipping houses, I like to use the blog to highlight all the real estate activities of our business, even those that don’t necessarily have to do with rehabbing or flipping. And we’re planning to start branching out just a bit…
For those not familiar with the concept, there’s [...]

Building Our Reputation

September 8, 2009

While I like to think that my wife, brother and I are doing a great job building our real estate business, it’s always nice to see a little bit of recognition from outside of the company walls…
About a month ago, I was contacted by a journalist writing an online article about how to buy short [...]
