• AI assistant "Maggie" follows a tight question script covering property basics, condition, motivation, and price
• Automated follow-up system ensures no lead falls through the cracks with voicemails and texts
• Six key metrics to track: contact time, connection rate, appointment set/show rate, offer rate, lead source ROI, and close rate
• Implementation checklist: local phone setup, script creation, follow-up assets, CRM connection, hours/rules definition

Most new house flippers fail within 12 months because they approach flipping as a hobby instead of a business. This episode provides the blueprint for survival with 10 critical mistake patterns and their solutions to help you build a sustainable house flipping operation.

• Mistake #1: No consistent deal flow - commit to three acquisition channels with weekly targets
• Mistake #2: Buying bad deals - use the Safe Offer Cap formula (ARV minus fixed costs, rehab costs, and profit)
• Mistake #3: Underestimating rehab costs - create detailed scope with line-item estimates plus 10-15% contingency
• Mistake #4: Contractor chaos - require licenses, insurance, written scopes, milestone payments, and regular site visits
• Mistake #5: Overspending on finishes - match neighborhood comps, not personal taste
• Mistake #6: Ignoring permits and code - map required inspections before demo and budget the time
• Mistake #7: Running out of cash - conservative ARV, full funding before closing, respect your Safe Offer Cap
• Mistake #8: Death by the last 10% - run punch lists and pre-inspection walkthroughs
• Mistake #9: Weak project management - clear work orders with deadlines and milestone-based payments
• Mistake #10: Botching the exit - ensure property is clean, safe, fully functional before listing

Transform your house flipping side hustle into a systematic business operation capable of handling 12+ deals per year. I break down the exact blueprint that took me from sporadic flipping to running a real estate machine, with practical systems you can implement immediately to save time and dramatically increase profits.

• Create consistent deal flow through multiple channels including direct mail, realtor relationships, and targeted advertising
• Secure financing sources before you need them so you never miss out on great opportunities
• Standardize your renovation materials and finishes to save approximately $5,000 per house
• Build a bench of backup contractors so your projects never stall when someone flakes
• Implement proper project management systems to keep multiple flips on schedule simultaneously
• Systemize your sales process with the same stagers, photographers and agents for faster closings

If you're stuck on one or two flips a year, start with just one system – standardize your finishes. It feels like a small change but will put thousands back in your pocket and cut weeks off your timeline. Follow us wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a show. Now get out there and get cracking!
