Most agents sell other people's flips. JD bought his own.
This is 408 Michael Dr in Murphy. JD found it, bought it with capital from his own brokerage, and ran the rehab himself. The turn around time - JUST 3 WEEKS if that.
What he told us walking the house:
"You make your money on the buy. I bought it right."
The rehab still went over budget, because there is always a surprise. A plumbing leak someone cut into a wall and painted over. Dog gouges in the sheetrock on almost every corner. His rule: "Always build contingencies of at least 10%. There's no sure things."
He paid his painters about 20% more than the cheapest bid and calls it "completely worth the money many times over."
The financing? Set up over Slack. Terms by text. Draw wired in 24 hours, no draw fees. Less paperwork, more time with his kids.
This is what we mean when we say our agents become investors. Same license. Different life.
