Description

eBay flipping isn’t something new. You’ve probably bought something on eBay that was sold by a reseller. Maybe a type of makeup you liked got discontinued. Maybe your favorite pair of jeans from a nationwide chain suddenly disappeared. For eBay resellers like today's guest, Tom Brickman (The Frugal Gay), it’s all about finding the products that people love but can’t get a hold of anymore.Tom is a master of frugality. Raised by a real estate investor, he knew what cash flow could do to a nine-to-five worker's life. So, at age twenty-one, Tom cashed in some company stock to buy his first multifamily. He inadvertently house hacked and was living in his own place for a whopping $138 per month! From there, he moved from his native Ohio to Texas where he got a full-time job, built his eBay flipping business, and never stopped reinvesting into rentals.As a side-hustle addict, Tom shares numerous stories about how he made (and lost) large sums of money by reselling on eBay. He even bought an entire house on eBay at auction, which came with bullet holes included. Talk about a deal! Now, retired well before sixty-five, Tom lives a life he loves with his partner, thanks to financial frugality! In This Episode We CoverWhy frugality at a young age can compound into massive wealth-building benefits ESPP and reinvesting your paycheck so you can use investments to buy cash flowWhat makes a great eBay flipping product and how to find the best deals around Commercial real estate investing and rehabbing properties for enormous equity gains Buying homes at auction online and why you shouldn’t solely trust the zip code a house is inPaying off credit card debt quickly through hard work and smart money management And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!5 Frugality Myths Americans Believe That Would Make Ben Franklin CryA Beginners Guide to Hack Your Housing and Live for FreeHow to Pay Down Bad Debt—Fast!Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-291See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
