From Realtor To Bay Area Developer | Tom Tran E18
In this episode of The Lo-Down, I sit down with Bay Area real estate flipper and residential developer Tom Tran. Tom started his journey as a realtor before diving into the world of fix-and-flips. Over time, he transitioned into larger projects, including home extensions, additions, and ADUs.
We dive into how he’s scaled his business, the key partnerships that have helped him grow, and the systems he’s put in place to manage longer, more complex projects. Tom shares valuable insights on leveraging relationships, structuring deals, and adapting to market changes as he’s moved from quick flips to high-value renovations.
If you're looking to learn how to level up your real estate game and move from small deals to bigger development projects, this episode is packed with actionable advice. Enjoy the show.
