Your Questions: Send emails to questions@rogerblankenship.com

Don’t send your sales pitches to this email. Especially the really terrible “you can buy my product at a discount” with a link and NO explanation. No sales letter. If you think my team is just going to click a link in an email come on. If you have a product or service you would like for us to review, you can let us know and someone from our team will reach out to you.

Cameron, Shandria, Atlanta, GA, Eric, Jackson, Kimberly, Cassandra, Elliott, Terrence, Kenedra, and Sharon “What are the steps for getting started in this business?”
Allison, Fort Worth, TX “I have a plan and I have a local mentor. I’m starting out wholesaling and hope to move on to fixing and flipping and rentals next. I am single and work from 7:30 – 3:30 each day. I don’t hate my job, but I don’t see a future in it either. How long do I need to wait before I quit?”
Corey, Boulder, CO “Prices are pretty high here. Is it better if I start somewhere else?”
Natalie, St. Louis, “My boyfriend and I are about 60% finished with our first flip and we are having our first major disagreement. The house is in an up and coming hipster type area and he wants to paint some pretty bold colors, both inside and outside. I know this may seem like the opposite of the stereotype, but I want the colors to be neutral. This might be relationship advice clothed as a real estate question, but what do we do?”
Xander, Battle Creek, MI “It’s been tough around here for a few years, but it looks like the jobs are coming back and things may be looking bright. So I’m starting to pick up some cheap rentals. My question is about the future. What if the jobs leave again? Where would that leave me and how do I survive?”
