Most people think doing the work themselves will save money on a flip.

Tom Bell thought the same thing.

Until a “quick” 6-week rehab turned into 5 months of nights, weekends, and missed deals.

This week on The Bottom Line, I sat down with Tom, one of our 7 Figure Runway members, who came back to real estate after COVID wiped out his rental income.

He’s not 25.

He’s not looking to quit his job tomorrow.

He just wanted to build income on his terms, stay active in retirement, and not rely on a 401(k) to get there.

We unpack his first flip, the timeline mistake he regrets, and how he’s fixing it on his next deal.

When you’re stuck doing everything yourself, you lose time, energy, and deal flow.

Tom’s now rebuilding the right way by tracking his numbers, hiring the right people, and planning his flips like a business owner, not a contractor.

That’s exactly what we train inside 7 Figure Runway.

A step-by-step system for serious beginners to:

- Build a repeatable deal pipeline

- Avoid the DIY trap

- And scale without burning out

Ever catch yourself thinking…

“I’ll take action…once I know exactly what to do.”

It sounds smart. Strategic. Responsible.

Until you stall for months at a time waiting.

This week I’m doing something different with my friend Dr. Sheri Fluellen.

It’s called The Bottom Line.

We’re sharing real stories. Actual numbers in our business. And answering one of your questions. Every week.

And the first story we unpack?

The bottlenecks we didn’t even realize we were stuck in.

If you're trying to figure out how to get going without messing it all up…

You don’t need more information.

You need a system, a scoreboard, and path that shows your next move every step of the way.

That’s exactly what we built inside 7 Figure Runway.

This guy had every reason to quit.

He didn’t grow up with a silver spoon.

He didn’t have a network.

He didn’t even have stability.

Dairius Kawewehi spent most of his childhood in the foster care system.

Then he joined the Navy—launching jets off aircraft carriers in one of the most high-pressure, dangerous jobs in the military.

That’s where he learned structure. Discipline. How to show up when it’s hard.

It rewired his mindset—and gave him the grit he’d need for what came next.

Because now?

He’s building a real estate business and raising serious capital.

He’s already raised over $400,000.

And he’s just getting started.

He found a way to channel pain into purpose.

And it’s not what you're expecting…

Dairius didn’t wait until he “had it all figured out.”

He didn’t let anything stop him.

He joined us for the Flip Funding Challenge, saw the power of the 7 Figure Runway community, and plugged himself into a system and community.

If you’re ready to write your own story, let’s talk.

There’s a lot of noise out there right now…

You’ve probably seen the ads:

Find an old guy with no website.

Buy the business at a discount.

Plug in an operator.

Cash checks from the beach.

Sounds great in theory.

But 90% of millionaires built their wealth this way.

One of the most overlooked and most powerful strategies in real estate right now is buying deeply discounted properties through tax deed sales.

Tomorrow, I’m hosting a live Deed Hunter Masterclass with my friend Marcos “The Deed Hunter” Jacober, where we’ll show you how to find these properties and why tax deed investing might be the best-kept secret left.

The masterclass is happening TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 28th at 3PM CST / 4PM EST.

And it’s totally free.

Sign Up for the Deed Hunter Masterclass >>

If you’re ready to take some of the risk out of off-market deals, this is the room to be in.

See you there!

Ever wonder what happens when you spend $39,000 on direct mail?

Well, I’m pulling back the curtain on an ACTUAL direct mail campaign that brought in over $486,000 in revenue in Q1 alone this year at Blackjack Real Estate.

We’re talking about a 1.5% response rate. That’s 3x the industry average.

Plus, I brought on 7 Figure Altitude member, Sarah Carlyle, someone you may recognize from the show before, for this in-depth coaching.

See how you can actually make direct mail work for you.

And that’s what this episode is all about:

Getting the support to stop guessing and start scaling.

If you’re ready to surround yourself with the kind of impact-driven investors who will help you take your business to the next level…

Our 7 Figure Altitude event is coming up this July in Park City, Utah, and it’s not too late to get a preview of the program and the community that makes this possible.

Most of our members are doing 15 to 300 deals a year.

Some run lean lifestyle businesses. Others build portfolios.

All of them care about time freedom, family, and impact—not ego.

I just dropped one of my favorite podcast episodes ever.

It’s with Sophia and Bella Mendez, two teenage sisters who flipped a house on camera for our new TV show, Kids Who Flip.

Sophia is 18. Bella is 13.

Together, they flipped a house in 2 weeks where they not only added square footage but also dealt with some serious problems like a broken furnace, window delays, and a slow market…

They thought they’d make $60K.

They walked away with $10K—and a TON of experience most adults never get.

Next month we’re kicking off the Teen Wealth Workshop at our headquarters in Spring Hill, TN.

Last year, we held this event and filled out an entire hotel conference center.

This year, we'll go even deeper into financial literacy, income streams, and the specific action steps your kids can take RIGHT NOW to start building wealth that THEY control.

‍We have a super fun game planned, plus we’re going to premiere the first episode of Kids Who Flip!

You don’t want to miss this.

Catch you on the flip side!

Let me paint you a picture…

A busted-up mobile home.

No heat. No air.

A couple with zero flipping experience (but a TON of grit) decides to take a chance and buy it anyway.

And somehow they turn that NIGHTMARE property into a six-figure profit on their very first deal.

Ted and Stephanie Sherrat, two awesome humans from Indiana, went from a W2 and construction work to running a flipping business.

Ted and Stephanie almost quit on their very first flip.

At one point, they were literally crying on the floor of that house.

What changed?

They got plugged into the right community.

Inside 7 Figure Runway, they didn’t just get support—they got a roadmap. Systems. Mentorship. Confidence.

And now, that same couple is running a real business locking down deals consistently.

If you’ve been trying to figure this out alone, don’t.

Inside 7 Figure Runway, you’ll get step-by-step guidance on everything from finding and funding deals to hiring your first team member—just like Ted and Stephanie did.

👉 See if Runway is the right fit for you. >>

Catch you later!

Consumer confidence just took a hit.

The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index is down 32% year over year — and that means even financially qualified buyers are second-guessing their decisions right now.

They’re hesitating. Waiting. Watching.

So what can you do?

I sat down with Sheri to unpack what this really means for investors.

If this episode helped you think differently about today’s market and you see opportunity where others don’t…

Inside 7 Figure Runway, you’ll get around people who think differently.

They don’t panic.

They don’t freeze.

And they have the systems, support, and strategy to act on it.

👉 Check out 7 Figure Runway here and see what’s possible when you think like an investor.

Catch you later!
