How I Lost $80K on My First Flip… Then Built a 7-Figure Business | Real Estate Hacking Live

I lost $80,000 on my very first real estate flip. I was pregnant, overwhelmed, and completely blindsided by bad advice, contractor issues, and two floods. Most people would’ve quit… but I didn’t.
In this video, I share the full story of how I went from that rock-bottom moment to building a 7-figure virtual wholesaling business across Texas and Florida. You’ll hear how I turned failure into fuel, built powerful systems, and learned to approach real estate as a solution-based business, not just a hustle.
