Bought a distressed 3-bed on W. 18th for $112k. Renovated in 11 weeks. Sold for $198k. Learned more in those 11 weeks than in the prior two years of studying the market.
How it started.
How it's going.
2016
First flip in North Merced
2018
Scaled to 6 flips per year
Built a reliable network of local contractors, inspectors, and lenders. Stopped doing everything myself and started running projects like a business.
2021
Opened investor partnerships
Started co-investing with private lenders who wanted Merced market exposure without the operational overhead. Structured deals that work for both sides.
2024
47 flips completed
Every project in Merced. No out-of-market speculation. Deep local knowledge is the edge — and it compounds every year.
