We take you through the whole job, step by step, from finding the money to selling the house, until you can do it on your own. Two people who’ve been investing in property since 1995 and are still flipping today, day in, day out.

It’s a process. Steps, a method. That’s all it is. FLIPS™ is the exact order we work in on our own flips, and it’s the order we’ll take you through on yours. Most people who come to us have read the books and watched the videos. What they’ve never had is someone checking their numbers before they commit.
You work out what you can actually raise, and from where. Savings and equity are only one route. There’s bridging finance, joint ventures, angel investors and equity release, and knowing how to use them is a skill in itself. We built a multi-million pound portfolio that now has virtually none of our own money in it.
You learn to read a street the way we do. Who buys here, what they’ll pay, what sells in weeks and what sits on the market for months. Not a postcode someone recommended on the internet. A real area you can get to, work in and sell in.
A tired, unloved house that nobody’s looked after for years is not a problem. It’s the opportunity. You’ll learn to spot the ones that have got legs, and then how to make your money when you buy, not when you sell. That’s the offer, the negotiation and the walking away. We mentored a plumber who’d worked on other people’s refurbishments for years and never thought he could do his own. He saved a large sum on his first purchase through his offer and his negotiation, before a single tool came out of the van.
Damp, dodgy joists, a roof that’s had it, a kitchen that just needs paint. You’ll learn what a problem actually costs to put right, what you can leave alone, and how to price a refurb before you own the house. This is where we spend the most time on what not to do.
How to finish it, dress it, photograph it and price it so it goes quickly. You’re not selling a property. You’re creating the next chapter of someone’s life, and they need to be able to see themselves in it the moment they walk through the door.
Here’s one of ours, in full. Not a projection, not an example we made up to look good. A house we bought, refurbished and sold.
Across our flips we average over 30% return on the money we put in, and our best recent one came in at 49%. Our average profit per flip is £50,000. Every one of those numbers is ours, from our own deals, and we’ll show you exactly how they were built.
Where to spend, where a few hundred pounds adds thousands, and which rooms buyers actually decide on. We’ve learnt it over and over and over again, on our own money.
The costly habits nobody warns you about. Over-specifying. Doing work that never comes back. Trusting the wrong quote. This is the part that saves you the most.
Everyone who viewed this house saw the problems. We saw the numbers, and the numbers said yes. That’s the whole difference. Not bravery, not luck. Knowing what you’re looking at.
The guidance and mentorship we received from Wendy and Simon has literally been invaluable. Using their system on our first flip, before we even started our refurbishment, we saved over £40k. That gave us a cash pot for the refurbishment and more profit on the sale.
Knowing their framework has been built on their own knowledge and real-world experience has given us so much confidence. Wendy and Simon’s coaching is exceptional, it’s like having your best support system cheering you on. We can’t thank them enough.
I recently had an online meeting with Simon Lee to discuss flipping opportunities in the Oxfordshire area. His knowledge and advice were excellent, he cut through the ‘fog’ and was able to identify clear front runner properties with viable flipping opportunities straight off Rightmove. He gave me examples of work they’d done to increase value in similar properties and gave me a clear roadmap to follow. All round excellent advice on flipping properties. Thank you Simon.
We started married life in a council flat we rented. No leg-up and no family money. We’ve been refurbishing property since 1992, bought our first investment property in 1995, and we’ve been flipping since 2005. We’re still doing it now, day in, day out.
So when we look over your deal, we’re not reading theory off a slide. We’re telling you what we’d do with our own money, because it’s exactly what we do with our own money. If we can do it, so can you.
The refurb creeps. A bit more here, a nicer one of those there. Six months later the house is finished, it’s sold, and you’ve got your money back and nothing on top.
And that’s the real damage, because it’s not the money. It’s the six months of your life. It’s the quiet voice afterwards telling you that you can’t do this after all. Most people who have a flat first flip never do a second one. The whole plan, the one that was going to buy you your time back, dies on the first attempt.
You’ve probably been thinking about this for a while already. That’s time you don’t get back either.
Twelve weeks from now you could be someone who knows how to read a deal, price a refurb, make an offer and walk away from the wrong house. That’s a skill you own, and you can use it over and over again. Flipping houses gives you choices. You don’t have to ask anybody when it’s all right to go home or take a holiday.
You’ve got some money behind you, or you’re willing to learn how to raise it. You want a skill you own and can use again. You’ll turn up to the sessions and do the weekly work, because that’s where the change happens.
You’re after a quick win by the weekend, or you’d rather hand your money to somebody else and stay a passenger. We’ll be right beside you the whole way, but you’re the one buying the house.
We talk everything through on a call first, including the price and whether the timing works for you. No hard sell, and never has been. You can always email us directly at wendy@realpropertytraining.com.

We’re out at property events most months, still meeting people who’ve been circling this for years. If you’ve driven past a tired house and wondered, you’re not on your own. That’s exactly who we built this for.
Leave us your details and pick a time that suits you. It’s a conversation, not an interview, and there’s no hard sell at the end of it.
We read every application ourselves. Prefer to email? wendy@realpropertytraining.com
We’ve got your application. The last step is to pick a time that suits you, and we’ll have a proper chat about your first flip.
