I just closed, rehabbed, and listed my next flip in Sarasota in… 3 days. Yep, you read that right. This was an auction property I had been following on Auction.com for months. Nobody was bidding on it at auction, but the listing agent kept telling me there was a ton of interest. The “auction” label was actually scaring most buyers away… which to me just screamed opportunity. So, after months of back-and-forth with the bank — them trying to cover their foreclosure expenses and me holding strong for a deal — they finally dropped their reserve to line up with my max bid. We locked it in. 🔑 Here are a few key lessons I took away from this one: 1️⃣ Pending ≠ Sold.This property went “pending” twice before falling out and going back to auction. Don’t assume a pending status means you’ve missed the deal. 2️⃣ “Cash Only” ≠ Cash Only. A lot of auction properties are listed this way, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use financing. I picked this one up using a DSCR loan (you can also use fix & flip loans). 3️⃣ Flips Don’t Always Mean Gut Jobs.This property was practically turnkey. All I did was change the locks, clean it, add a little paint, and swap out a bathroom vanity — and it was ready to list. Nearly a six-figure profit without swinging a hammer. 👉 Should we break down the numbers together in a live lesson?

When I first started looking into real estate, I thought the only way to make a real living from it was to own 10+ rentals like the “big investors” you see online. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize:👉 You don’t need 10 doors to change your life. You might only need 2. Think about this… Before investing: - Living paycheck to paycheck. - Working 40–50 hours a week. - Watching money disappear to rent, bills, and rising costs. After just 2 solid deals: - Each property cashflows $1,300–$2,000/month. - That’s $2,600–$4,000 coming in passively — every month. - Suddenly your rent/mortgage or even your car payment is covered. 2 properties can mean: - Taking a lower stress job without worrying about money. - More time with your kids. - Being able to say YES to travel or experiences without guilt. 💡 Don’t overcomplicate it. You don’t need an empire. You need a couple of smart, strategic moves and auctions/foreclosures are one of the fastest ways to get there. So here’s my challenge to you this week: Ask yourself, “What would my life look like if I had just 2?” Because that future might be closer than you think. Drop it in the comments: what’s the first thing you’d do if 2 rentals covered your bills every month? Looking forward to seeing your success - Tiffany 😊
