  Ep. 93 | Flipping Houses, Building a Business & Betting on Themselves

  Sep 28, 202655 minS1

  On this episode of From the Ground Up , we sit down with Ashley and Joe Lowery of Lowery Group Real Estate to talk about building a real estate business, investing, renovations, and what it’s really like working alongside your spouse. Ashley brings more than a decade of real estate experience, while Joe made the leap from firefighting to running the investment and operations side of their business. Together, they’ve gone from $300K flips to taking on $1.5M+ properties that can sell for $2.5M+ after renovation. We talk about their first flip—and the contractor nightmare that changed the way they do business—along with luxury renovations, construction red flags, inspection negotiations, knowing when to walk away from a deal, and why they choose quality over quantity. If you’re interested in real estate investing, luxury homes, renovations, or what it takes to build a business from the ground up, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
