Everyone likes a PB&J Sandwich - especially when it comes to house flipping.

Good old peanut butter and jelly. It’s one of those joys of childhood, the fond memory of youth, right? But Eric and Theresa use it as an illustration of their house flipping system - they call it the Sandwich Method. Think of it this way: one slice of bread is the cash buyer who will eventually purchase any property you flip, the other slice of bread is the motivated seller who you build rapport with in order to purchase their home, and the peanut butter and jelly? That’s the profit “spread” you make in the deal. Spread… get it? Anyway, Eric and Theresa explain it in detail on this episode, so don’t miss it.

If you start with the end in mind, your house flipping business can be set up right.

The first mindset you need to understand and adopt as you start building your house flipping business is this: start with the end in mind. In house flipping, that means that you need to think all the way to the end of what you’re trying to do - sell a property to a cash buyer for a profit. And you start there by finding cash buyers, even before you have a property to sell them. Why do you do it that way? How does it work? Those are the questions Eric and Theresa answer on this episode - and it’s not something you see on the TV shows, so be sure you listen to learn this important strategy.

Here are some great tips for building out a list of cash buyers for your house flips.

How easy would it be to sell a house you’ve renovated if you had a list of 20, or 30, or 50 interested cash buyers who have already told you exactly what kind of houses they are looking to buy? How would that impact the types of houses you put under contract in the first place? Those two questions have probably already shown you how important it is to build a list of cash buyers - but how do you do it? On this episode of Sage Flipping Secrets Eric and Theresa give you a number of practical ways you can find those buyers, build that list, and get your house flipping business rolling.

Here is a system you can create to keep your house flipping business running without you.

Finding distressed properties, putting them under contract, renovating them, marketing and selling them for a profit - it sounds pretty complicated, doesn’t it? What would you think if you were told you could get all of that done without being involved in the process unless you wanted to be? You’d probably think the person telling you that was crazy, or trying to sell you something. But it’s true - and establishing and refining the right systems are what make it possible. In this “part two” episode Eric and Theresa tell you how to start a house flipping business and exactly how to create systems that run most of it for you. This is worth sharing.
