Tired of fighting for scraps in competitive urban markets? In this powerhouse throwback episode, Chris sits down with Sam Hopkins, a Virginia-based investor who’s quietly CRUSHING IT in overlooked rural markets. 

Since 2020, Sam has scaled his operation from wholesaling to flipping and long-term rentals—by mastering how to uncover deals where most investors aren’t even looking.

Here's what you'll learn from Sam:

• How to find profitable deals in rural areas under 100,000 population
• Using paid and free strategies to source properties from MLS, wholesalers, and referrals
• Raising private capital to fund dozens of flips a year
• How to decide whether to wholesale, flip, or hold a deal for long-term gains
• Leveraging appreciation and depreciation—not just cash flow—for sustainable wealth
