From a $200K flip in New York to a disciplined strategy in tertiary markets like Gastonia and Cleveland County, Tommy shares how he's designed a real estate business around freedom, not frenzy.

Whether you're flipping your first house or scaling a build-to-rent portfolio, this is a masterclass in playing the long game.
