Are these internet/Instagram flipping "Gurus" legit? Let's debate
I've been flipping houses for 15 years, and it's not easy. Hard work, visits to the sites, contractor fallouts, problems, attorneys, etc, etc. It happens all the time. Lately I've been noticing an increase in the amount of posts/reels/ads on IG about these so called "gurus" of flipping, who are flipping 20,40,100 houses per month from their "couch" and who swear they don't even know what the properties look like or have even set foot in these "flips" they say the own. It's like they are telling us they can give you a software that will magically do a flip for you without you lifting a finder. What's your take on this? Am I being too old school here? Would you give them your money to access their "proprietary" system? Let's discuss

Social media is a dumpster fire. I stick with books, podcasts, and real people that are successful.
