In this episode, hosts Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan sit down with real estate powerhouse Joe Homs to unpack lessons learned from 50 years in the flipping business. From building his foundation alongside his father to now mentoring the next generation — including his own family — Joe shares what it takes to thrive in today's market.

Joe gives us an inside look at the numbers behind successful flips, the importance of education over hype, and how he's built a brokerage of 350+ agents using a flat-fee model. We also get personal — with Joe reflecting on marriage, work-life balance, and what he'd tell his 20-year-old self about being bolder.

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just curious about the game, this episode is full of insights on risk-taking, financial planning, and why understanding the “tax game” might just be your secret weapon.

Joe Homs is a veteran real estate flipper and the broker of Pelago, a flat-fee brokerage now home to over 350 agents in California. He's also a mentor to many, an investor, and a family man with decades of experience in managing long-term rental properties and coaching others to do the same.
