Summary

Coronado native Drew launched his real estate career in 2010 flipping houses after realizing his landscaping job wasn't his calling. He partnered with Chris, a second-generation renovation investor with a finance degree from the University of Missouri–St. Louis, who previously built a successful mortgage career before shifting full-time into real estate. Together, they've renovated over 400 homes, built strong relationships with homeowners, realtors, investors, and contractors throughout San Diego, and joined Rod's Warrior Group in November 2024. When not working, Drew enjoys golfing, cheering on the Chargers, and spending time with his wife and their French bulldogs, Chloe and Wrigley, while Chris can often be found at his son's football games or with his family.

Here's some of the topics we covered:

From Flipping Houses to Finding Freedom
How Hunting Foreclosures Turned Into a 400-Home Fix & Flip Empire
Beating the "Red Tape Monster" of California Real Estate
The Costly Mistakes of Raising Capital the Wrong Way
Why Investing in California Isn't for the Faint of Heart
The Hidden Red Flags That Make Drew & Chris Walk Away From a Deal
The Truth About "Extend and Pretend" Lenders Nobody's Talking About
How to Pivot Your Strategy When the Market Shifts Against You
Conquering Analysis Paralysis and Taking Massive Action
