What would change if you stopped chasing one off flips and rebuilt a real business that runs without you?

In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tiffany High. Tiffany lays out how she left a demanding corporate path to be present for family, stumbled into flipping, then scaled from 40 flips in year one to a virtual operation closing 20 plus deals a month. The turning point was tearing everything down in 90 days and rebuilding with systems, training, and leadership so the company could run without constant firefighting.

She explains why newbies should start with wholesaling, how to use licensed inspections plus a GC to scope work, and why leverage and team building beat solo grind. The theme is simple. Real estate is copy and paste when you install infrastructure and remove limiting beliefs.
