Our Student Chris Made Over $3 Million Flipping Houses

Chris came to the U.S. from Brazil in 2016 when his wife was pregnant. He knew he wanted to get into real estate but didn’t know where to start. After attending one of our Tuesday night meetings, he joined the bootcamp and decided to invest in private coaching. To fund it, he borrowed money from three close friends and agreed to pay them back from the profits of his first deals.

At the bootcamp, he bought his first house in Okeechobee without knowing anything about the area. He drove out, inspected the property, found a local handyman, and jumped in head-first. He learned through doing, and just as importantly, learned what not to do—like the time he almost bought a condemned property without title insurance. Coaching saved him from that mistake.

In his first year, Chris focused only on buying rentals to build cash flow. In his second year, he focused entirely on fix-and-flips so he could learn renovation, budgeting, and retail-quality rehabs. In his third year, he wanted to source his own deals, so he worked as dispositions manager for our wholesaling operation, learning how to negotiate, talk to sellers, and market deals.

Now Chris runs multiple renovation crews, works on several projects at once, buys and sells one or two flips every month, and teaches students how to renovate and manage contractors. He’s done 60+ fix and flips, multiple rentals, and wholesaled more than 70 deals. He has also managed rehab projects for many of our coaching students.

The market has changed, and Chris continually adapts—offering closing cost credits, paying close attention to price points, and adjusting strategy when competing with new construction. He is currently repositioning some of his rentals to increase income by converting larger homes into shared living for tenants transitioning from rehab or re-entry programs.

One of the biggest takeaways from his journey is that your strategy must match your personal situation. There is no “one-size-fits-all” in real estate. Coaching is about guidance, personalized strategy, and avoiding costly mistakes. The community matters too. Many coaching students stay connected, share ideas, partner on deals, eat lunch together at events, help each other with contractors, and become close friends. Support, collaboration, and proximity accelerate success.

Chris is proof that it’s possible to start with no credit, no local network, no experience, and build a multi-million dollar real estate business by taking action, staying coachable, and surrounding yourself with the right people.
