The Moonlight Real Estate Side Hustles and Syndications Show

USING FLIPS IN A HIGH-INTEREST ECONOMY & RAISING PRIVATE MONEY TO RETIRE EARLY FROM W-2 WITH KARL SKRYPAK ✨

Eric Lindsey Season 1 Episode 144

If you’ve ever wondered how to juggle a demanding day job with real estate investing, buckle up! Karl Skrypak was crushing it in a sales career by day while quietly flipping real estate on the side, adding rentals, and stacking over 25 wholesale deals under his belt. Below is a snapshot of his story.
 
 SHOW NOTES
 Early Influence & Real Estate Spark ⚡
 • Karl jumped in around 2015, buying
foreclosures for rentals when they were still easy to find.
 • His first project? A live-in flip—he
actually lived in the property while fixing it up.
 • Generational wealth was the goal because
he didn’t want to rely on Social Security.
 
 Sales Career & Real Estate Hustle 💼🏠
 • Karl used lunch breaks to meet with
contractors and nights for renovation tasks.
 • Imposter syndrome was real, but he got
over it by networking with lenders, mentors, and family members who knew
construction.
 • He rarely paid for inspections because he
felt confident spotting red flags himself.
 
 Scaling While Working Full-Time 🚀
 • Besides flipping, Karl completed 25
wholesales and owned several rentals.
 • He teamed up with a partner who handled
day-to-day construction while he focused on design, negotiations, and code
inspectors.
 • A layoff eventually pushed him to go
all-in on real estate, but he’d already built a strong safety net.
 
 Family & Time Management 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦⏰
 • He started single and used that freedom to
burn the midnight oil on projects.
 • After marriage and kids, he scaled even
more, motivated by his family’s support.
 • Karl’s secret sauce? Constantly
learning—from local meetups to casual convos at the gym.
 
 Strategic Growth & Current Focus 🌟📈
 • Karl loves designing flips and letting his
partner manage the rehab grunt work.
 • He believes real estate is the best path
for those wanting financial security if your W-2 suddenly disappears.
 
 Bottom Line
 Karl’s journey proves you can crush it at
work and still build a real estate business on the side. Stay open to learning,
lean on your strengths (or a partner’s), and keep hustling—even if life throws
you curveballs.
