Pat Flynn is the founder of construction company Flight Builders, and former President of Yellowbird, a real estate investment company, brokerage, and lender that bought and sold over 400 houses annually as well as owned and operated a 300-home rental portfolio. Long hours on the oil ships didn’t allow Pat a lot of time to put towards real estate. Pat talks through his journey from buying deals over the phone from a ship in the middle of the ocean to start his flipping and wholesaling business. Pat started with his first purchase during the recession in 2006 for $60,000 on a short sale at the age of 21, and this led to many deals after. He started with renting then ventured to flipping houses. After a change of events in his life he decided to focus on Real Estate full-time. Pat discusses leveraging partnerships to get his business off the ground and how it accelerated his growth and prevented failure for him. He met his business partner shortly after and they started a great business of flipping homes. Life changes occurred again in 2022 and he had some hard decisions to make that would not only affect him but his team. Pat explains the clarity he gained from stepping back and stopping, and every area of his life improved. Pat now owns a Construction Company called Flight Builders. He is passionate about leading his team and giving them a vision that they can achieve together. He is a believer in personal growth and development.
