40: The Art & Power of Flipping Houses with Javoris Pollard

In this episode of "Work it, Live it, Own it" host SaCola Lehr chats with Javoris Pollard about his evolution from a creative high school student into a serial entrepreneur and real estate investor. Pollard recounts his early struggles with fitting in due to his size, which led him to start making and selling clothes. His entrepreneurial spirit was further fueled by the challenges he faced in various jobs and the desire to control his own destiny, especially after a life-changing event involving his mother's health. Pollard shares his journey into real estate, from failing licensing exams to eventually succeeding and partnering with a friend to flip houses. He discusses the importance of location, acquisition cost, renovation budget, and understanding market dynamics when identifying properties to flip. The episode also touches on the "Houze of Storm" program, which Pollard uses to mentor aspiring real estate investors.


Quote from Javoris: "Anything I want to accomplish, I'm going to accomplish it, no matter what. I'm going to try; nothing's going to hold me back."
