    My Most Expensive Real Estate Mistakes (So You Don’t Repeat Them)

    Send us a text In this episode, Corey opens up about the deals that didn’t go well — the ones that cost real money, real time, and taught real lessons. Because the truth is simple: experience comes from getting punched in the face financially… not from the wins. This week, Corey breaks down several costly mistakes from 2024–2025, including a Jacksonport project that spiraled far beyond the original budget and a series of flips that exposed gaps in process, oversight, due diligence, and team bandwidth. If you're scaling, flipping, or thinking about jumping into a new asset type, these lessons will save you money, frustration, and months of wasted time. In this episode, we cover: The Jacksonport deal: why new asset classes require deeper due diligenceHow skipping well/septic inspections cost $45K–$60KWhy “moving fast” without structure is actually chaosHow tight numbers push investors into bad decisionsThe hidden bottlenecks inside growing teamsWhy contractors must be checked in person — or by someone who can beHow to hire, delegate, and avoid burning your people outThe real cost of doing too much yourselfThese weren’t rookie mistakes — they were scaling mistakes. And if you're growing your Wisconsin real estate business, you’re going to face the same traps. This episode is here to help you avoid them. If you want 2026 to be your least stressful and most profitable years yet, start with the lessons that cost Corey tens of thousands — so they don’t cost you anything. Quick reminder — our New Year Giveaway winners will be announced on January 1st, and there’s still time to enter if you haven’t jumped in yet!

    How One Simple Offer Formula Unlocks More Real Estate Wins

    Send us a text The Simple Offer Mistake Costing WI Investors $25K–$30K Per Deal Many Wisconsin investors say, “There are no deals out there.” But in this episode, Corey breaks down why that belief isn’t true—and how one small tweak in your offer formula can instantly make you more competitive. This lesson came from a real coaching conversation with a team member, and the numbers were eye-opening. By using the wrong calculation method, many investors are losing deals and leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. With one adjustment, you could win 2–3 more deals this year—worth $60K or more for many flippers. In this episode, we cover: • Why the common “75% of ARV minus rehab” formula is holding you back • Corey’s preferred method for running flip numbers—and why it works better • A side-by-side example showing the $25K–$30K profit difference • How private money can expand your options and make your offers stronger • Why emotion-free calculators help you compete in today’s market • The mindset shift required to stop saying “no deals exist” and start winning them If you want 2026 to be your strongest deal-finding year yet, this episode will help you rethink your approach and become more competitive across the board. New Year Giveaway: We’re giving away a $250 gift card, a 1-hour strategy call with Corey, and a Wisconsin Investor Starter Kit. Details on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
