JR Reed shares how he uses wholesaling the right way—paying the bills, avoiding short-term shortcuts, and building a portfolio designed to last.
JR Reed breaks down how he consistently closes 100+ deals per year in Houston by using wholesaling to fund his business while building long-term wealth through buy-and-hold. He explains why rentals shouldn’t pay your bills early on, why he avoids constant price drops, how messy title deals became his biggest profit driver, and what changed after a tough market forced him to tighten operations. JR also shares how his team is structured, why integrity matters more than squeezing every deal, and what “playing the long game” in wholesaling actually looks like.
