About this episode
This week, Jason is joined by self-made real estate investor, author, and HGTV reality TV personality, Tarek El Moussa!
Tarek gained recognition in the reality TV space after hosting Flip or Flop with his ex-wife from 2013 to 2022. Since then, Tarek has expanded his real estate and reality TV portfolio to new heights. He is now the star of HGTV’s hit shows Flipping 101 and The Flipping El Moussas. In addition to successfully flipping close to 1,000+ properties and selling over a thousand homes, owning multiple apartment buildings and developing a self storage facility, Tarek is a successful entrepreneur, real estate expert and investor, and now author. 
In this episode, Tarek shares his expert insights on breaking into the house flipping business—from how to get started with little to no capital, to what makes a fast cash sale happen. He breaks down exactly what to look for in a listing, walks through his step-by-step flipping process, and explains why flipping isn't as easy as it looks. You'll learn how to calculate your breakeven point, set profit goals, and protect yourself when working with agents. Tarek also covers his personal negotiation strategies, how to spot quality renovation work, and what to know when buying a flipped property. Plus, he offers advice for buying a home in 2025, talks about his new book Flip Your Life, and shares the value of building the life you want—through consistency and actively making connections.
Tarek reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
