I'm here drinking my coffee in Southwest Virginia, and you actually get double value today. We have Justin and Tara on. Justin and Tara Williams have been entrepreneurs since they got married just over 11 years ago. In 2011, they found themselves in a position where they didn't know how to pay for rent the next month, so they worked hard to put together their house flipping machine.
And the next year, in 2012, they flipped over 100 houses and made their first million bucks.
Chapter 5: How did they build their house flipping business into a seven-figure income?
In 2013, they created House Flipping HQ, where they teach others how to create a passive house flipping business. And now recently, they started 8 Minute Millionaire, where they teach people how to take control of their lives and financial stability. future and they document their journey towards a $10 million annual income.
They reside in San Clemente, California with their three super studly kids. Justin and Tara, are you ready to take us to the top?

Chapter 7: What advice do they have for avoiding common pitfalls in real estate?
Why is it working so well? Because Tara's on it. So that's why you've been married for 11 years. Okay.
You know, I think the thing is, is there really is a need out there.
Chapter 8: How do Justin and Tara balance their business with family life?
Like there's a whole world opened up to people that they don't even realize is there. And I think that there's this gap of people knowing it's there and the people that not knowing it's there and they need someone to tell them, Hey, there's this amazing lifestyle you can have in world.
And we're trying to pull those people in and people are responsive to that because they're not happy and fulfilled in their lives.
It makes complete sense. And you know, back in episode 109, I had Joshua Dorkin on with Bigger Pockets. And so this whole real estate thing, people are loving the real estate stuff. Your guys' background is in real estate. Tell me the story about the first flip. What year was it? What'd you buy it for? How'd you do it?
Well, it was in 2007 when we first got into this business, the real estate business. That was after we had $120,000 of debt from a satellite dish business. And, oh, I mean, just a huge, quote, unquote, failure, which wasn't really a failure, right? So, we made $2,000 when we got into real estate, and it took us seven months to do our first deal.
hindsight, they might be like, oh, it's not too bad. But it was tough. And it took us seven months to get there. And we did a strategy that was called wholesaling, because at the time, we didn't really have any money. So we basically got a house under contract, and we sold the rights to that contract. And I think we made $20,000. And before that, we like, I don't. Gross or net? That was net.
Yeah. Okay.
That was net. And we didn't really know if this business was possible. And then we made $20,000. And it was crazy. Two months later, we did it again. And then after that, it was like almost every month, practically.
You were addicted to the drug at that point.
Oh, yes. Yeah.
