Find it. Fund it. Flip it. Sell it.
One agent for the whole life of the deal — from the off-market lead to the closing table on the resale. I invest in flips myself, so I underwrite your deal the way I’d underwrite mine.
Most flips are won or lost before you ever sign the offer.
Ask a seasoned flipper where a deal went sideways and the story rarely starts at the closing table. It starts on the walkthrough — the sagging beam nobody priced, the ARV borrowed from a comp two neighborhoods over, the “quick” permit that took eleven weeks.
I learned to read a job site long before I learned to read a CMA. Eight years in the Army National Guard as a horizontal construction engineer taught me to see a project as a sequence of costs and timelines, not a Pinterest board. Now I pair that with daily MLS data across two states.
The result: you walk into every deal knowing your maximum offer, your rehab scope, your money, and your exit — before you commit a dollar.
What you get working with me
- Off-market & MLS deal flow — including the ugly ones other agents skip.
- Honest ARV & rehab estimates — comps you can defend to a lender.
- My private-money network — lenders who understand flips and move fast.
- Vetted contractors & stagers — people I’d put on my own projects.
- A listing strategy for the resale — so your exit is planned on day one.
Five stages. One point of contact.
Most investors juggle an agent, a lender, a contractor and a listing agent who’ve never met each other. Here, the handoffs are already built.
Find
Off-market leads, estate sales, stale listings and MLS alerts filtered to your buy box.
Underwrite
ARV from true comps, a line-item rehab estimate, and your maximum allowable offer.
Fund
Introductions to private money lenders who close on a flipper’s timeline, not a bank’s.
Build
Trusted contractors and a scope focused on what Inland NW buyers actually pay for.
Sell
Pricing, staging and marketing to move the finished flip fast — and protect your margin.
Is it a deal — or a very expensive hobby?
Plug in the numbers from your next property. You’ll see the profit, the cash you’ll need, and whether it passes the classic 70% rule. Then send it to me and I’ll pressure-test it with real comps.
The Deal
The Money
Assumes 2% buy-side closing costs and 8% selling costs (commissions, title, excise, concessions). Holding = taxes, insurance, utilities.
The Verdict
Estimates for educational purposes only — not a loan offer, appraisal or guarantee of profit. Real numbers depend on comps, inspection and your financing terms.
Two states. One border. A lot of opportunity in between.
Spokane and Coeur d’Alene are 30 miles apart and behave like two different markets — different buyers, different price points, different rules. Being licensed on both sides of the state line means you can chase the best deal, not the closest one.
Dated, not doomed
Solid bones hiding behind 1978 carpet and a brass-everything kitchen.
Estate & inherited homes
Families who value a clean, quick, as-is sale over top dollar.
Stale listings
Homes that sat too long, priced for yesterday, with sellers ready to talk.
Value-add layouts
Unfinished basements, extra lot space and bedrooms hiding in plain sight.

Flipper FAQ
Yes. First flips are where a second set of eyes matters most. We’ll walk through your budget, your risk tolerance and a realistic rehab scope before you make an offer, so your first project teaches you something besides how much a surprise foundation repair costs.
I combine MLS alerts built around your buy box with off-market leads from my network — estate situations, tired landlords and homes that never made it to market. Not every lead is a deal, but I’ll tell you honestly which ones are.
Yes. I work with private and hard money lenders who understand fix-and-flip projects in Spokane and North Idaho. Terms vary by lender, experience and deal, so I’ll introduce you to the ones that fit your project and let you compare.
A quick screening rule: your maximum offer should be about 70% of the after-repair value, minus repair costs. On a $400,000 ARV with $50,000 of work, that’s $230,000. It’s a starting filter, not gospel — financing costs, hold time and local selling costs all matter, which is why the analyzer above runs the full math.
That’s the idea. Because I helped underwrite the deal, I already know the finishes, the target buyer and the price we’re aiming for. The resale plan starts on day one, not the week the painters leave.
Yes — I’m licensed in both states and work across Spokane County and Kootenai County, including Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Hayden.
Got a property in mind? Let’s run it together.
Send me the address. I’ll pull comps, give you an honest ARV and tell you whether I’d buy it — usually within a day.
