ANOTHER FLIP FOR BLAKE AND WENDY! WHAT NUMBER? WE MAY NEVER KNOW....

We asked how many flips, rentals, and wholesale deals they’ve done so we could write this post.

Their answer? “We honestly lost count.” (what a great problem to have)

Blake and Wendy are building an incredible legacy—and they keep making time to help others along the way. From finding off-market deals to navigating the business of real estate investing, they’re always sharing what they’ve learned with our community.

Congratulations on the next flip, you two! We may not have the count, but we know how much you give back.
