Toby reached out to me because she had experience in real estate investing, house flipping, commercial real estate, construction, and renovations—but she didn’t want to keep flipping houses. She had already learned firsthand how unpredictable the house flipping business can be. Her first flip only broke even, and even after gaining more experience, she realized she wanted a more consistent real estate business. So she asked me what I would do in her position. In this conversation, I break down the two paths I think make the most sense for her. The first is building a trusted construction business and becoming the go-to general contractor for home renovations, additions, and ADUs in her community. The second is using her construction skills around cash flow real estate—building a specialized rental property product such as co-living real estate, where the business model doesn’t depend entirely on selling the property for a profit. I also explain why flipping houses can be difficult even when the construction itself goes perfectly. Market conditions, holding costs, design decisions, location, and timing can all affect the outcome. That’s why my advice to Toby wasn’t to chase another real estate strategy. It was to build around the skills she already has. And when she asked about marketing, branding, logos, and setting up the business, I told her to focus on the substance first: Get the license.Get the credentials.Be reliable.Be trustworthy.Finish the job on time and on budget. The branding can come later. If you’re a real estate investor, real estate entrepreneur, contractor, or someone trying to turn your skills into a consistent business model, this conversation will give you a completely different way to think about your next move. Would you choose the renovation business or the cash-flow real estate path? #RealEstateInvesting #HouseFlipping #ConstructionBusiness TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Stranger DM 01:11 Meet Toby 02:22 Toby’s Story 05:33 Real Estate Start 06:37 First Listing 06:57 Going Commercial 07:12 36-Home Deal 08:24 First Flip 09:26 Construction Passion 10:45 Ready to Grow 12:05 Jamil’s Advice 13:25 Flipping Problem 15:09 Her Real Goal 16:27 Renovation Path 18:06 Two Business Paths 19:45 Co-Living Strategy 20:36 Marketing Herself 20:49 Get Licensed 21:35 Forget the Logo 22:40 Final Advice #JamilDamji #RealEstateWholesaling #Wholesaling #WholesaleRealEstate #WholesalingHouses #RealEstate #WholesalingRealEstate #HouseFlipping #RealEstateInvesting #RealEstateBusiness #ConstructionBusiness #GeneralContractor #ContractorBusiness #CoLivingRealEstate #RentalPropertyInvesting #HomeRenovationBusiness #RealEstateInvestor #RealEstateEntrepreneur #ConstructionServices #RealEstateCashFlow #RealEstateAdvice #Flipping #Coliving As always, I appreciate each one of you guys for joining me on this YouTube journey.

#realestateinvesting #wholesalerealestate #jamildamji #realestate #flipping #investing A lot of people blame the contractor when a house flip goes bad. But I’ve seen plenty of real estate deals fail even when the construction was done right. The market can shift. Timing can kill the deal. Design choices can miss. Holding costs can eat into the profit. That’s why house flipping, real estate investing, real estate strategy, and real estate risk have to be looked at as a whole. As a real estate investor, I can have a great contractor, a beautiful renovation, and still end up with a flip that doesn’t make sense financially. The contractor isn’t always the problem. Sometimes the deal itself is. #HouseFlipping #RealEstateInvesting #RealEstateDeals #Shorts As always, I appreciate each one of you guys for joining me on this YouTube journey.

#realestateinvesting #wholesalerealestate #jamildamji When I feel stressed and need to slow myself down, this is one breathing exercise I use. I breathe in for 4, hold for 4, then exhale slowly for 8. For me, it’s a simple way to pause, reset, and create a little more mental clarity before I react. If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or business owner constantly operating under pressure, sometimes you don’t need to push harder. Sometimes you need two minutes to reset. #StressManagement #BreathingExercise #EntrepreneurMindset #Shorts As always, I appreciate each one of you guys for joining me on this YouTube journey.
