Opening

Coming up today, Hippie decor is back! And someone just paid a record $238 million for a condo - the most expensive home ever bought in America - and it broke the previous record by $100 million. I wonder if he will have avocado green appliances and rattan furniture? We have news, we have data, we have trends, we talk about style (don\\u2019t claim to \\u201chave\\u201d style), we have methods, and we have answers to your questions.

Just go to flippingamericanetwork.com and click on the FAN. On this show I keep a pretty narrow focus on real estate and small business development. But if you subscribe to my FAN premium blog you\\u2019ll find out what I think about a wide variety of topics. I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I\\u2019m going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests. .
  • Would you like to invest in the Flipping America projects across the country? Coming soon you will be able to for as little as $10. That\\u2019s right, Flipping America is partnering with Ground Floor Funding to create a crowd-funded platform where you can invest in the deals we are doing here. The fund will pay out a 6% preferred rate of return and can go as high as 20%. You can make money with me, the Flipping America Guy.
  • Flipping America App is in the app store. You can listen to the show, read the show notes, and the entire catalog of shows is now available to you. It\\u2019s a free download and there are no upsells or in-app purchases. Free to download, free to listen. Go ahead and give it a try and drop me a line and let me know what you think.
  • Want a quick analytical tool to tell you how strong a potential fix and flip deal is? Download the Property Grade app. You answer 10 simple questions about the property and the app instantly tells you what you can expect to make, your return on investment, your return on cash, and then the program gives the project a letter grade using the proprietary Flipping America Investment Property Grade algorithm. \\xa0
