Video Description

Flipping is crowded. Want bigger margins? In this video I walk 3 real jobsites with 20+ year developer Julius Hayes to show exactly how to make money with new construction—from lot acquisition to foundation, rough-ins, and the finished product that cleared ~$80,000 profit in about 5.5 months.
