Eyal Karban has operated at a scale most investors never see: 2,000+ residential deals across Las Vegas and Phoenix and roughly $1B in transactions—with a playbook built on discipline, data, and transparency.
This episode is the story of how that playbook was forged.
Eyal walked into the wreckage of 2008, learned auctions from the ground up, and then built the systems that make speed possible: an in-house GC (with a warehouse of standardized finishes), a proprietary CRM, weekly pricing updates, Gantt-driven rehab, and hard post-mortems on every project. His team averages ~5 months door-to-door, vets buyers like underwriters, and even pays to tidy the neighbor’s yard if it helps the sale. When a project caught fire weeks before completion, he bought the investor out the next day—because trust comes first.
What you’ll take away:
How pros de-risk flips (from sourcing to buyer vetting) so one mistake doesn’t wreck the year
The operations stack: CRM, standard SKUs, permit tactics, W-2 vs. subs, and why details decide margins
Pricing and speed in soft markets—why being slightly under comps beats sitting on inventory
Incentives that work: comp on successful exits, not just acquisitions
Radical transparency with investors (live P&Ls, photos, timelines)—and why it compounds trust
2025 outlook: why this will be a market for professionals, and how to prepare
If you want a clear, no-BS view of fix-and-flip at scale—and how to build a machine that survives hard markets—this one’s your operating manual.
