Episode Description

Most real estate investors are stuck choosing between flipping for income and holding for wealth but 30-year industry veteran Aaron Chapman says you don't have to choose. In this episode of The M.O.R.E. Show, Justin Colby sits down with Aaron Chapman, mortgage expert, real estate investor, and author, to break down how to run a flipping business and a holding portfolio simultaneously without coming out of pocket, how to use family trusts to protect and pass down real estate wealth across generations, and why the foundation you build your business on matters more than how fast you grow it.

  • How to flip houses and hold assets at the same time using the right entity structure.
  • Family trust strategy explained: grantor, trustee, and beneficiary roles.
  • How Aaron structured his children's homes inside a trust to build generational wealth.
  • Why growing too fast without a strong foundation will eventually collapse your business.
