First Flip, Big Win: How Dave Stafford Made $60K at 18 (and the Rookie Mistakes to Avoid)
In this eye-opening episode of Your Mom in Real Estate, Suzy sits down with mastery-level real estate investor Dave Stafford, to uncover the raw, unfiltered truth about getting into house flipping—starting with his very first flip at age 18, which ultimately led to owning 3000 doors . No guru speak. No get-rich-quick BS. Just real talk.
Dave walks us through:
- How he bought a row home in a rough part of town and doubled his $$
- What made him believe he could flip a house before ever owning one
- How he funded the deal with music lesson money and family I.O.U.s
- What “gut job” really meant in his case (hint: rotted stairs, nasty surprises, and a lot of sweat)
- The huge profit he made—and why he almost didn't care about the money
- What beginners always get wrong—and how mistakes can actually help you learn!
From smart risks to long-term strategy, this episode is packed with real-world insights for anyone looking to break into real estate or grow what they’ve already started. Whether you’re dreaming of your first flip, scared to make a move, or just fascinated by what it takes to build wealth through real estate—this one’s for you.
