How to get rich quick: Real estate investments anyone can do

By Stephen Young

If you're looking for a way to build wealth fast, real estate investing can be one of the best opportunities available. Whether you have experience or are just starting, you can take advantage of strategies like fix and flips, wholesaling, and earning commissions to make money quickly. In this guide, we'll explore how you can get rich fast using real estate investments anyone can do.

1. Fix and Flip: Buy, Renovate, Sell for Profit

How Fix and Flips Work

Fix and flip investing involves purchasing distressed or undervalued properties, improving them, and selling them at a higher price. The key is to buy low, renovate efficiently, and sell quickly for maximum profit.

Steps to Maximize Profits

     1. Find Undervalued Properties – Look for foreclosures, auctions, and motivated sellers.
     2. Use Other People’s Money (OPM) – Partner with investors or use hard money lenders.
     3. Speed Up Renovations – Focus on high-impact improvements like paint, flooring, and kitchens.
     4. Sell Off-Market – Line up buyers before finishing renovations.
     5. Scale Your Business – Work on multiple flips at once to increase earnings.

Advanced Fix & Flip Strategies

     - Pre habbing – Make minimal repairs and sell to another investor for a quick profit.
     - Fix & Lease – Rent the property after renovations and refinance to pull out equity.

2. Wholesaling: Make Money Without Owning Property

How Wholesaling Works

Wholesaling is a fast way to make money in real estate without needing to own a property. You find motivated sellers, put properties under contract at a discount, and assign the contract to a buyer for a profit.

Steps to Wholesale Real Estate Fast

     1. Find Motivated Sellers – Use direct mail, online ads, and cold calling.
     2. Master Negotiation – Get properties at 60%-70% of market value.
     3. Build a Cash Buyers List – Have investors ready to buy your contracts.
     4. Use Double Closings – Sell deals without using your own money.
     5. Automate Lead Generation – Use virtual assistants and online tools to find deals faster.

Advanced Wholesaling Hacks

     - Virtual Wholesaling – Do deals in other markets without being there.
     - Micro-Flipping – Use real estate software like The Ultimate Profit Calculator to quickly analyze and flip contracts.

3. Earn Big Commissions as a Real Estate Agent

How to Make Money with Real Estate Commissions

If you're licensed, you can earn commissions by helping buyers and sellers. To maximize earnings, focus on high-value transactions and investors who do multiple deals.

Steps to Earn More as an Agent

     1. Sell High-End Properties – Larger commissions come from luxury real estate.
     2. Double-End Deals – Represent both the buyer and seller when possible.
     3. Work with Investors – Investors buy and sell frequently, providing repeat business.
     4. Market Off-Market Deals – Sell properties before they hit the MLS.
     5. Leverage Social Media – Use Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to attract leads.

Advanced Commission Strategies

     - Become a Hybrid Agent-Investor – Use your license to wholesale and flip deals.
     - Partner with Flippers – Sell their finished projects and earn ongoing commissions.

BONUS: Fast-Track Wealth with Creative Strategies

1. BRRRR Strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)

This strategy allows you to fix a property, rent it, refinance to pull out equity, and use that money to buy more properties—growing your portfolio quickly without using your own money.

2. Subject-To Deals & Seller Financing

Take over mortgages without needing credit or large down payments. This allows you to buy properties with little money upfront and resell for a profit or rent them out.

3. Airbnb Arbitrage

Rent properties from landlords, furnish them, and list them on Airbnb for high cash flow—without ever owning real estate.

What to Avoid with Get-Rich-Quick Schemes

     -While real estate is a proven way to build wealth, avoid scams that promise guaranteed high returns with little effort. Beware of:
     -No-Money-Down Scams – Some deals claim you can invest without any risk, but hidden costs can wipe out profits.
     -Overleveraging – Borrowing too much can lead to financial ruin if the market shifts.
     -Lack of Due Diligence – Always research the market, property conditions, and legal requirements before investing.
     -Unrealistic Promises – If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to proven strategies and work with reputable professionals.

Final Thoughts

I've never met a person who wouldn't choose being rich over being poor.  And almost no one I speak with has an actual plan on getting wealthy, and what is worse, even if they have great intentions, they tend to listen to people with terrible advice, one of the terrible pieces of advice is “You Can’t Get Rich Quick”, well…how are you doing with your get-rich-slow plan?

See, if you examine the source of all the warnings you’ve had against the idea of getting rich quick, you will find that most, if not all, have come to you from well-intentioned people who have not gotten rich at all, at any pace.

It is considerably easier to be a sage expert in what not to do than in how to do something. So these warnings must be taken with not a grain but a whole shaker full of salt.

Just about any rich person will tell you that slow is harder than fast because it is almost impossible to create momentum while moving slowly. A two-by-four across the track will bring a however-many-ton locomotive just starting to move to a grinding halt, while a train moving at full speed will turn that same board into toothpicks and the passengers probably won’t even feel the bump. If possible, you want momentum on your side.

One of my earlier clients, when he first came to my seminar, he was over $100,000 in debt on his credit cards and he and his family were living in his sister’s basement. Three months later, he was pulling down $50,000 a month. And after just a year, he was 100 percent out of debt, living in a large new home half paid for, with a big income, money in the bank, investments, and more. In less than three years, a millionaire. This is just ONE of MANY stories, who did not take the “slow” approach.

Look at Elon Mush, founder of SpaceX, Tesla, Paypal, and Zip2, all of his ideas, no matter how off the wall they were, had tremendous backlash and push back saying the ideas won't work, they don't fit the "status quo."  He made millions in years, and billions in under a decade.  He is now the richest man on planet earth having just started(from zero) his companies just 2 decades ago.  That is an incredible timeline and you can get rich quick, you just need the right plan, and if you plan to generate wealth slowly, you will be setting yourself up for failure.
