Think the Hawaii market makes REI impossible? Watch Issa flip that script and stack $114,000 in 2 weeks (and 2 days) after a single strategy call. She was boxed in by million-dollar comps and “sticky-note systems.” After plugging into REI Automated, she used our operating system, community support, and a couple of smart pivots to turn a shaky wholesale into a $39,000 wholetail and added more wins (including a $5,000 assignment) to hit six figures fast. In this interview, she breaks down the exact steps, tools, and tweaks that made it happen—all done virtually.
Why You Should Watch
💰 Two Deals → $114,000
Deal #1 netted about $39,000 wholetailing; she also added a $5,000 assignment, with the rest of the streak pushing her to $114K in ~2 weeks.
⚙️ Systems Replace Chaos
From sticky notes to organized pipelines, automated follow-ups, and clear next actions.
🧠 Smart Exit Pivots (With Numbers)
ARV $189K, mortgage ~$29K, arrears ~$4K, seller walk-away $10K—why she ditched a $65K wholesale and took title to sell retail around $80K.
🧭 Out-of-State Confidence
How to rely on local pros (CMA, boots on the ground) so you don’t need to “see or smell” the property.
🛟 Coaching When It Counts
A single deep-dive call on 5 live deals → immediate actions → two under contract within days.
🌐 Virtual Execution
Contract-to-close on Deal #1 in ~5 weeks; 5 days from buyer contract to closing.
