Zachary Betters is a former physician assistant who now runs a 150-deal-a-year wholesaling operation out of Charlotte, plus a new construction division that's built as many as 100 houses in a single year. He started with one live-in flip he learned to remodel using a book from Home Depot, then built up rentals, fix and flips, and eventually a full wholesale system with a 26-person team. In this episode, he walks through how he found private money lenders through everyday conversations with people outside the industry, and how the business model shifts between wholesaling, flipping, and building based on what the market is doing.
