In this episode, David Lecko sits down with Joshua Thompson, who runs a high-volume wholesaling operation in the Augusta market and closes over 100 deals a year. Joshua breaks down why his team intentionally walked away from flips and creative strategies, how shiny object syndrome holds wholesalers back, and what happens when you simplify and commit to one core strategy. They dive into sales psychology, negotiation, team structure, and what it actually takes to scale wholesaling without adding unnecessary risk or complexity.
