The Overpaid House That Became A Windfall
- Pace and Cody bought a house in 2019 with a 3.5% rate that produced strong cash flow and $300k equity.
- The deal returned roughly $40–50k cashflow over five years and turned into about $500k profit for them.
From Losing $100k/Month To Profitable
- Cody's SWAT team bought a company in June 2023 that was losing $100k/month and turned it into a profitable business in months.
- By December the company was making roughly $78k/month and continued improving.
Always Verify The Numbers Yourself
- Do not trust seller claims without reviewing their financials; many owners misstate profitability.
- Insist on bank records, asset lists, and properly categorized books before valuing a business.
