In this episode of REAL VC, we sit down with real estate investor, Janelle Paez-Carlson to break down what flipping and wholesaling actually look like behind the scenes. From finding vacant properties and sourcing deals to building a business across Ventura County and out-of-state markets, we get into how investors are really operating today. We also talk through the realities that don’t get shown on TV, including margins, deal flow, and what it takes to scale. The conversation touches on bigger topics like gentrification and the growing role of private equity in local housing. If you’ve ever wondered how flipping really works in today’s market, this episode gives you a clear look.
