How did Tommy Harr start his real estate journey?
if i could go back seven years ago and start telling people about my first house hack i lived in my damn living room and rented all my bedrooms out if if people knew that more and like just document your journey and understand that this stuff doesn't happen overnight it's a you you stumble around if you're like me and you didn't get help in the beginning you stumble around for a year two years three years and then you figure it out find somebody in your market or around the country that does what they say they do vet them out give them your energy and they will take you to the next level so So it's not as hard as you do it by yourself, but it's still going to be hard. Fail, fail often, fail fast and get to the next level.
What is up the science flipping family? Welcome back to another incredible episode. I have a really good friend of mine. He is an absolute stud in the real estate space. If you are under 30 years old, you're going to want to listen to this. And by the way, if you are over 30 years old and aren't quite where you want to be, you're going to want to listen to this. This man was able to Starting the business at 23 years old, he was a property appraiser and now has built a multiple seven-figure-a-year transactional real estate business and owns over $20 million in assets. Tommy Haar is here. What is up, dude?
What's up, brother? It's been an honor to get to know you and been in the mastermind with you for a while, but I usually connected a few months ago and it's been a great time.
You quickly became one of my favorite people. And so I was very excited to do this. And part of it is just, you know, I'm firmly believing in your network, you know, the saying of network and net worth. But like, really, I make more money by creating real true friendships, by real connections, right? Not by spending money on ads. And so immediately, we connected in Orlando, we just basically hung out the whole time we were in a, you know, suite, the basketball game, just talking about real estate. And I was just so impressed. I'm 43. So I have a lot of years on you. But to be able to be where you're at at 30. Um, was so impressive that we just talked about this episode and we said, we got to have you on and teach.
By the way, this is absolutely for people over 30. Uh, but I would also say if you are under 30, I want this to inspire you to know what is real. And then if you're over 30, I want this to be like one of those. Okay, if this guy can do this, you know, it's about time to kick my ass in gear. So you quit your job, you went all in, you did your first fix and flip and lost six figures. Let's start there because I think most people are terrified to even get going. I don't think I know most people are terrified to even get going in this space. for the exact example that you're about to give. You got into the business. You said, hey, uncle, let's go flip a home together. Let's do this. It'll be our first. We're going to win, get rich. And you lost six figures, right?
That is why people don't do it. And then what I want to leave here with everybody is understanding Tommy's still in the game. Tommy's making multiple seven figures a year. He has 20 million in assets after that loss. So let's start with that loss.
Yeah, my uncle approached me right before I graduated college, which was 2017. And he was like, hey, do you want to invest in real estate? And I said, no, I'm going to work for my pop. So that's where the home inspection background came from. I've always been working with him. And then I started doing inspections for investors, doing draws. So I went back to him and I was like, hey, we should think about flipping houses. I've seen all these people win. So long story short, we ended up buying this house in Columbus. Columbus is not an expensive market, but we bought this five bed, six bath house for $420,000. It took us 18 months to fix it up and resell it. And we ended up losing $100,000 on that.
