From Zero to Your First Flip: A Real-World Blueprint to Kick Off 2026

A Real-World Blueprint to Kick Off 2026

Thinking about flipping houses in 2026—but not sure where to start, what’s realistic, or how people actually make it work?

This live session is for aspiring and early-stage real estate investors who want a practical, proven path into their first deal. No guru talk. No overnight success stories. Just the real decisions, tradeoffs, and steps it takes to go from zero to closing—and profiting—on your first flip.

You’ll hear directly from an investor who built their business the hard way: learning on the job, navigating volatile markets, funding deals creatively, and turning real estate into a path toward freedom and stability.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is your moment to get clear, confident, and deal-ready for the year ahead.

What You’ll Learn

• How first-time flippers actually get started (and what most people get wrong)
• How to identify a realistic buy box and spot deals that pencil
• Ways to fund your first flip when cash feels like the biggest hurdle
• What your first 30–90 days should look like if you’re serious about starting
• Lessons learned from real deals—mistakes included—so you can avoid costly missteps
• How to think long-term: building skills, systems, and confidence beyond your first deal

Who This Is For

• Aspiring real estate investors ready to take action in 2026
• First-time flippers who want a clear, repeatable blueprint
• Investors tired of theory and looking for real-world insight
• Anyone who wants to turn hard work into long-term freedom through real estate

Why Attend

Most people don’t fail in real estate because they aren’t capable—they fail because they never get a clear, honest roadmap. This session is designed to show you what’s possible, what’s required, and how to take your first real step forward with confidence.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start, this is it.

About Jenna Soto

Raised on a ranch in South Dakota, Jenna learned early how market shifts can change everything when the buffalo market crashed and her family pivoted into real estate. After serving 15 years in the military and working as a contractor overseas, she and her partner, a former electrician, left volatile contract work to build a hands-on flipping business full time. Starting in early 2025, they’ve completed six deals—primarily sourcing properties through foreclosure auctions—handling everything from pricing and design to physical renovations themselves. With experience across flips, small multifamily, and long-term holds within an hour of Oklahoma City, she focuses on brick 3/2 homes in the $250K range and isn’t afraid of full gut rehabs. Known for persistence, practical problem-solving, and learning through action, she’s passionate about showing everyday people that real estate investing is attainable—and can be a powerful path to stability, freedom, and long-term wealth.
