In this episode of Investor 1-on-1, we sit down with a Parker Stiles, a powerhouse investor who’s quietly built a multi-state real estate empire focused on single-family homes and private lending across the Southeast.After graduating from Kennesaw State with a degree in Business Management, he leaned into his natural strengths—patience, persistence, and asking the right questions—to carve out a unique niche in the real estate space. Today, he runs two thriving companies: a home buying business active in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and a short-term lending firm funding investor deals in those same markets.His approach? Build capital through active flips and wholesale deals, then reinvest profits into passive income streams like rentals, long-term notes, oil & gas royalties, and equity partnerships.In this conversation, we break down how he scaled across multiple states, why single-family homes are still a strong asset class, and his exact framework for deciding whether to flip, hold, or finance each deal. He also shares tactical tips on negotiating with sellers, building virtual teams, and setting up systems that allow you to operate at scale.If you're looking to grow your investment business or fund your next deal, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.📌 Timestamps:00:00–01:10 – Opening01:11–05:41 – How he got started in real estate & launched Barrington Home Buyers05:42–10:48 – Current operations and memorable deals10:49–12:34 – What sets him apart in today’s market12:35–14:06 – Why he chose single-family homes and why they’re a solid asset class14:07–20:29 – Deciding whether to flip, rent, or finance a deal20:30–24:19 – Scaling across multiple states & building systems24:20–25:02 – What he says to sellers on the phone25:03–end – Top negotiation tips for closing more deals🔔 Subscribe for more 1-on-1 interviews with the nation’s top real estate investors.Connect with Parker:https://www.facebook.com/parker.stiles.3/https://coachingwithparker.com/https://www.fasttrackfunding.com/https://www.instagram.com/parkerstiles/?hl=enConnect with us:https://linktr.ee/motivatedsellersReady for exclusive off-market deals?👉 Get started at MotivatedSellers.com
