We’re excited to feature Ross McArthur, Co-Founder of Follow The Deal, in another insightful episode of the RE:INVEST podcast. In the episode titled “Painful and Real Lessons in Flipping and Partnership with Ross McArthur,” Ross shares two real-life case studies that reveal the successes, setbacks, and hard-earned lessons every real estate investor should understand before buying their next property.
Instead of focusing on theory, Ross and the RE:INVEST team dive into actual deals that didn’t go exactly as planned. They discuss the costly mistakes that can happen during house flips, the importance of buying the right property at the right price, and why strong partnerships can make or break an investment. Ross also explains how purchasing properties on the open market can still lead to profitable opportunities when investors have the right systems, underwriting, and execution in place.
Throughout the conversation, Ross emphasizes that every deal—whether successful or challenging—provides valuable lessons that can improve future decisions. From evaluating partners and setting clear expectations to avoiding common flipping pitfalls, this episode is filled with practical advice that investors can immediately apply to their own business.
Whether you’re completing your first flip or managing a growing real estate portfolio, this honest conversation offers a refreshing look at the realities of investing and the importance of learning from experience.
