    Fail as Fast as Possible! with Corey Scarpa

    In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan sits down with Oklahoma investor and property manager Corey Scarpa to talk about what real estate looks like when you've seen both sides of the business: what sells fast and what actually holds up over time. Corey started investing at just 18 years old by renting out rooms in a house next door to his dad. Today, he manages around 140 doors, helps investors buy and sell, flips properties, and works closely with the Tulsa real estate community. The conversation covers everything from tenant screening and CapEx to contractor red flags, project management, and why understanding a neighborhood can make or break a deal. One of Corey's biggest takeaways: flipping teaches you what sells on day one, but property management teaches you what lasts through year three.

    Do You Stay Grounded? 5 Tips In Navigating Success and Failure

    Success and failure can both distort the way you see yourself. A great deal can make you feel like you have mastered the business. A bad one can make you question whether you belong in it at all. In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares five reminders for staying grounded through the highs and lows of real estate entrepreneurship. He breaks down why success and failure are events—not your identity—why your process matters more than any single deal, and why investors need to evaluate themselves over a longer horizon instead of reacting emotionally to every win or setback. This episode is a candid look at the mental side of building a business, staying disciplined when things are going well, and maintaining confidence when they are not. IN THIS VIDEO: 00:00 Intro 02:50 Tip 1 - Successes and failures are events 03:54 Tip 2 - Judge your process 05:07 Tip 3 - Build your identity outside of business. 06:47 Tip 4 - Evaluate success in timeframes 09:22 Tip 5 - Humility in success, confidence in failure RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?

    How We Use AI to Underwrite Your Deals

    Artificial intelligence is changing the way real estate investors analyze deals—but should it be making your investment decisions? In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares how AI fits into his underwriting process as a private lender. From reviewing scopes of work and analyzing appraisals to catching red flags faster, AI has become a powerful tool for improving efficiency. But there's one thing it should never replace: your judgment. Ryan explains why the fundamentals of underwriting haven't changed, how the Four C's still drive every lending decision, and where investors should draw the line between automation and experience. If you're wondering how to use AI without becoming overly dependent on it, this episode offers a practical framework you can apply to every deal.

    Ryan breaks down the key differences between fix-and-flips and ground-up new construction, sharing what every investor should know before deciding which strategy is right for their business.

    5 Questions You Should Ask Your Lender

    Most investors know to ask about interest rates and points. But the truth is, the success of your project often depends on much more than the cost of capital. Ryan walks through the five key questions every investor should ask a lender before closing, including how extensions work, how rehab draws are funded, how quickly a lender can close, what their lending criteria are, and who you'll actually be working with after the loan funds. He also shares a bonus question that can reveal a lot about how a lending company operates and who really controls the capital behind your deal. Whether you're doing your first flip or your fiftieth, understanding how your lender works can help you avoid costly surprises and build stronger long-term partnerships. ## CHAPTERS 00:51 Warm up: What are your terms? 01:57 Question 1: What is your extension process? 03:55 Question 2: What is your draw process? 05:42 Question 3: How fast can you close? 08:27 Question 4: Am I a good fit for your criteria? 11:40 Question 5: Who is my POC after closing? 14:30 BONUS QUESTION  RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?
