my STORY
In 2001, Armando Montelongo was $50,000 in debt, had a credit rating of 501, and was living with his wife and toddler son in his in-laws’ garage. He changed his fortunes by learning to flip houses: buying them on the cheap, fixing them up, and reselling them for a profit.
“My son was two and a half. I remember thinking, One day, he’ll think of his dad as either a winner or a loser when it came to money. That’s when I decided to enter the real estate game.”
With the help of an investor, Armando would buy a distressed house for $60,000 that was originally valued at $150,000. He would then put $20,000 into repairs and get a home inspector to certify that the property was in living condition. Armando put the house on the market for $120,000, and it would sell within 30 days.
“I kept doing this over and over again. It was a volume game. Within three years, I had made $3 million.”

“I will only teach people how to flip houses if I’m doing it myself. I still invest heavily in real estate. I’m out making deals exactly like I teach in my programs.”
